Lord Xue Ying

Xue Ying stood above the Nine Cloud Great Land.

With a thought, his body abruptly turned dark. Unseen ripples began spreading out with him at the center. These ‘ripples’ were in reality, movement of the most fundamental essence of void, the black fog spherical particles. Almost a blink of an eye later, all black fog spherical particles on the Nine Cloud Great Land had been swept across once by Xue Ying.

“Over there!” Xue Ying immediately discovered the hidden treasure cove of Monarch Nine Cloud.

“Hua.”

He directly tore apart the void, forming a black crack about his height. On the other end of this black crack, there was a palace. Xue Ying entered the crack and arrived at the other location shown by the black crack.

It seemed simple.

But in reality, this ‘black crack’ was the Great Destruction Realm Teleportation Technique! Furthermore, Xue Ying had long altered the Great Destruction Realm Teleportation Technique created by his teacher Southern Cloud King by applying the principles he learned on controlling the Chaotic Origin Energy from the <Chaotic Origin Seven Strikes>. When Southern Cloud King executed this move, the disturbances created were relatively huge. Yet Xue Ying could form this crack with a thought–it was faster and more stable!

As for the sealing array Monarch Nine Cloud used on concealing his treasure cove, with Xue Ying’s current strength, he had two ways of breaking it. First was using force–just like how Sacred Master broke apart the Five Phases Sealed Space in the past. It’s just that this array-sealed space Monarch Nine Cloud constructed was more stable, and Xue Ying would have to use quite a few great moves to break it using force. The other method of entering would be to rely on the Great Destruction Realm Teleportation Technique. This teleportation technique enabled him to travel to another Origin World. Few techniques could actually obstruct and prevent the ‘Great Destruction Realm Teleportation Technique’ from entering. It was too rare–at least the palace of Monarch Nine Cloud could not do so.

Hence, no matter if it were the Eden Treasure experts had or places hidden in unique sealed territories, using the ‘Great Destruction Realm Teleportation Technique’ still gave him the ability to enter.

Most experts would place their precious treasures in the Eden Treasure and bring it along. Reaching Xue Ying’s current realm, he could simply execute the Great Destruction Realm Teleportation Technique to enter other people’s Eden Treasure and snatching everything away! And this would, of course, represent the start of a battle!

…

It had been a very long time since any living creature came to visit the ancient and quiet palace.

A black crack appeared in the palace. Following this, a white-robed young man came out from it. He looked around before directly walking forward. In just two to three steps, he reached the corridors. And after taking several more steps, he arrived before a courtyard.

At the central courtyard of Monarch Nine Cloud’s palace, there placed a fiery-red cauldron that emanated a turbulent aura. This aura transformed into the shape of a bird, causing pressure to press down in the surroundings.

In the past when he first came here, Xue Ying felt terrified before this pressure. But now, he could simply disregard it.

“Three Fire Prison Realms Cauldron.”

“Why does Sacred Master seek it so greatly? Monarch Nine Cloud could not unveil the profound mysteries behind this Three Fire Prison Realms Cauldron. Furthermore, he only heard of the name of this object from Sacred Master.” Xue Ying felt curious. Monarch Nine Cloud was a level-two Cosmos God. It should not be hard for him to refine secret treasures, but why could he not comprehend this powerful piece of secret treasure then?

“You!”

A stooped black-robed male appeared from the side. He was currently staring at Xue Ying with astonishment, “How did you enter? How? Did you just break apart the sealing array of Master? Was that from the black crack?”

He spouted several questions together. It was clear how shocking this had been.

After all, this sealing array was a huge accomplishment of Master in the Dao of Void. Even his Master, the Monarch Nine Cloud, could not break apart similar arrays.

“Great Destruction Realm Teleportation Technique.” Xue Ying answered.

The black-robed male remained confused. He was ultimately a puppet lifeform. Even though he followed Monarch Nine Cloud for a long time, yet he only heard of a tiny bit of what his master had known. Should Monarch Nine Cloud be here, he could possibly guess what kind of secret technique the ‘Great Destruction Realm Teleportation Technique’ was.

“Talking about this.” Xue Ying looked at the black-robed male. He could not help but feel how amusing things were, “This is our second time meeting.”

“Second time? You are?” The black-robed male was stunned.

“Oh?” Xue Ying was enlightened. After reincarnating and coming back into this world, his soul and aura had transformed. Only when he was with his wife or children would he deliberately hide his aura using his void-ification, before mimicking the aura which he had in the past. Otherwise, if Xue Ying moved by himself, he would not be so bored to do so. It was too troublesome.

“Nothing much.” Xue Ying did not elaborate, “Do you know of the secrets behind this Three Fire Prison Realms Cauldron?”

“You came for the Three Fire Prison Realms Cauldron?” The stooped black-robed male’s expression shifted. Waving his hand, the array in the palace began moving. Immediately, the space around the Three Fire Prison Realms Cauldron started distorting, causing this cauldron to disappear. That black-robed male growled, “This is the property of my master. You can’t take it away. If you want, you have to complete the wishes of my master, killing Sacred Master from the Ancient Sacred Religion or the other Cosmos God…”

“I am an archenemy with the Sacred Master, but now isn’t the time for me to act. As for you? You aren’t qualified to stop me.” Xue Ying frowned.

“Weng!”

The entire palace abruptly collapsed, turning into a piece of art–it was extremely thin. In the art, that black-robed male was stuck within, though it seemed he was trying anxiously to escape out yet to no avail! Xue Ying did not come with vile intentions. This piece of art was a world, and he did not destroy the myriad existences within.

Only the fiery-red cauldron remained floating above this art.

“Initially, I planned on keeping the entire palace before extracting the Three Fire Prison Realms Cauldron out. Who would have thought that despite suppressing Monarch Nine Cloud’s palace and other treasures into art, this cauldron remains perfectly untouched?” Xue Ying was startled. He casually waved his hand before keeping this art.

And next, he grabbed hold of the cauldron.

The cauldron was blazing warm, yet it seemed Xue Ying did not care. With a step, he left the Nine Cloud Great Land and returned back to one of his cavern-dwellings.

In terms of sealing and concealing techniques, his cavern-dwelling was beyond that of what Monarch Nine Cloud constructed.

After all, Xue Ying had fused eight branches together. He was merely one strand away from the final realm. He even had a supreme secret impartation technique to study on, allowing his techniques to reach a much more profound stage.

…

Within the caver-dwelling.

A cauldron was placed in the palace hall. Xue Ying sat cross-legged. He then commenced his investigation of the Three Fire Prison Realms Cauldron by sending a strand of consciousness into it.

“Mn?”

The moment he permeated it, a look of astoundment appeared on his face.

“This is?” Xue Ying carefully examined it. Under his senses, a golden inscription floated on the surface of the Three Fire Prison Realms Cauldron. It was incomparably esoteric, “This seems related to the profound mysteries behind the Chaotic Origin Energy. Without sufficient understanding of the Chaotic Origin Energy, it is impossible for one to unravel the inscription.”

Under normal circumstances, cultivators would only begin studying the Supreme Law after reaching the final realm of Cosmos God. During this process, most would discover more about the higher dimension and of the Chaotic Origin Energy.

In the Realm Heart Great Land, unparalleled existences could refine ‘Essence of Chaotic Origin’ from the external Chaotic Origin Energy.

Being an expert in the Dao of Void, Xue Ying had already interacted with the Chaotic Origin Energy! But it was only after he got the supreme secret impartation technique did his skills in the Dao of Void increase sharply. And his currently understanding and control of the Chaotic Origin Energy would most likely be beyond the level of Emperor Summer! Even the <Chaotic Origin Dao Scroll> written by Emperor Summer had been improved by Xue Ying.

“It isn’t that hard.” After a simple examination–just the time taken to brew a cup of tea–Xue Ying grasped this Three Fire Prison Realms Cauldron completely.

This Three Fire Prison Realms Cauldron that had perplexed Monarch Nine Cloud for ages, and also an item that garnered the desire of Sacred Master, was finally solved by Xue Ying.

“An inner world?” Xue Ying immediately found an existing world within. It was as its name suggested, this Three Fire Prison Realms Cauldron contained an inner realm, “What a unique secret treasure. It is so hard even to activate this secret treasure. Furthermore, I can’t enter even with the Great Destruction Teleportation Technique.” These conclusions gave Xue Ying a conjecture–from the way it was activated, this secret treasure could possibly be refined by a Chaotic Origin Expert.

“Sou.”

With a thought, Xue Ying had entered the Three Fire Prison Realms Cauldron.

He had many avatars, and losing one was a minor matter. Hence, he wasn’t afraid of whether this Three Fire Prison Realms Cauldron could threaten his life or not.
