Chapter 34: Red Cloud Beheads Corpses, Quasi-Saint Era
Finally, after thinking about all this, Hong Yun had an idea and took out a large tripod and placed it in the palace.
It turned out to be a gray square tripod. On it, you could see various mysterious patterns. They seemed unchanging, yet seemed to be changing all the time.
After paying attention for a long time, one can vaguely see that there seems to be a world hidden in the big cauldron.
This tripod is the Cauldron of Creation, an innate treasure, and also the first innate treasure that Hong Yun has obtained.
Moreover, unlike Taiyi's Chaos Bell, as a companion treasure, it has not been refined and the restrictions within it have not been released, so it is difficult to exert its power.
When Hong Yun obtained the Cauldron of Fortune as a reward from the system, it was as if the Cauldron had been born with him, and all the restrictions in the Cauldron were lifted for Hong Yun.
As long as one leaves his own mark in it, he can directly refine and control it and unleash the full power of the Cauldron of Creation.
Of course, this also requires Hong Yun to be strong enough. The stronger he is, the stronger the Cauldron of Creation will naturally be, until it reaches the limit of the Cauldron of Creation.
However, although the Creation Cauldron is also very powerful, its most powerful use is not for fighting, defense or attack, but for refining pills.
This tripod and the Qiankun Tripod are not the same set. The Qiankun Tripod is made from the pod of the Chaos Green Lotus, while this Creation Tripod...
Well, this Creation Cauldron is produced by the system. However, the two are somewhat similar. Qiankun Cauldron is good at refining equipment and can transform acquired spiritual treasures into innate spiritual treasures.
The Cauldron of Creation is good at refining elixirs. Using this treasure to refine elixirs can greatly improve the success rate and quality of the elixirs.
Also, if you put a low-grade elixir in it, over time, under the nourishment of the Cauldron of Creation, the quality of the elixir will gradually improve and transform into a mid-grade elixir, a high-grade elixir, or even a top-grade elixir.
And the most extreme one is the top-grade elixir.
What is a top-grade elixir? Just like the grades of spiritual treasures and spiritual roots, elixirs also have four grades: top, middle, bottom, and top.
For example, the Nine-Turn Golden Pill refined by Taiqing Laozi is naturally a top-grade elixir that can enable a mortal to become a Daluo Golden Immortal immediately.
It is comparable to the effect of Huangzhongli. However, it often costs a lot to refine such a top-grade elixir.
For example, the Nine-Turn Golden Pill refined by Lao Tzu has such a powerful effect that it can allow mortals to become Daluo Golden Immortals. This is because when Lao Tzu was refining the pill, he not only used extremely precious materials, but also incorporated his own understanding of the Tao into it.
To put it simply, it is to imitate the process of Huang Zhongli's fruiting, but one's understanding of the Tao comes from heaven and earth, and is a fragment of the Tao laws of heaven and earth, which is more natural, while the other is artificial, directly integrating one's own understanding of the Tao into it.
To refine such a Nine-Transformation Golden Pill, even Laozi Taiqing would have to consume a large amount of his own cultivation.
It is conceivable how precious this top-grade elixir is. No wonder the only famous elixir in the ancient times is Taiqing Laozi's Nine-Transformation Golden Elixir.
However, Hongyun felt that after he had the Cauldron of Creation, he might be able to become a master of alchemy and compete with Taiqing Laozi.
After all, with the Cauldron of Creation, a treasure for alchemy, he could slowly accumulate experience in alchemy, and maybe he could refine some kind of Red Cloud version of the top-grade elixir similar to the Nine-Turn Golden Pill in the future.
It is difficult to explain such a precious cauldron. When Zhen Yuanzi finds it in the future, should I tell him that I accidentally kicked it on the road when I was out relaxing?
Or was it that he was passing by Mount Buzhou and suddenly had a sense of inspiration, so he went in and just looked around and found the Cauldron of Creation?
Hong Yun gradually calmed down and no longer cared about the Cauldron of Creation. Instead, he prepared to practice the method of beheading the Three Corpses.
He has been comprehending this method for a long time and has already gained some understanding of it. However, it is still not easy to kill the corpse with the great way.
Hong Yun also needs to make more preparations and perform more deductions to be more confident.
And so, just like that, another thousand years passed, and on this day, a auspicious cloud about an acre in size suddenly appeared above Hongyun's head.
Above the auspicious cloud, three chaotic spiritual clouds were floating leisurely, emitting a mysterious aura.
Moreover, not only that, at this moment, Hong Yun's body shook again, and five divine lights appeared behind him.
Arranged in five colors of blue, red, yellow, white and black, it was his five-color divine light. This five-color divine light flickered and devoured the spiritual energy of heaven and earth wantonly, forming a huge spiritual energy vortex in the sky above Mingdao Palace.
Endless spiritual energy rushed towards the five divine lights, making them brighter and more dazzling.
It also exudes a rolling Taoist rhyme that causes the heaven and earth to shake.
In Mingde Palace, Zhen Yuanzi was also in seclusion, meditating. Suddenly, he had a feeling in his heart. He opened his eyes, looked up and saw the strange sight above Mingdao Palace. He couldn't help but smile.
"Hongyun is about to succeed. It should be smooth sailing to chop the corpse with the five elements." Zhen Yuanzi said to himself.
Then he closed his eyes again and continued to practice, as if he was very confident in Hong Yun.
At the same time, Xuanfeng was also teaching his two fellow apprentices how to practice. Kong Xuan was okay and relatively well-behaved, but Xuan Peng was extremely active, which made Xuanfeng quite troubled. He thought of many ways but failed to make him calm down.
In the end, it was the most direct method that made the little golden roc obedient. Well, the most direct method was naturally to beat him up.
Anyway, the teacher is still in retreat, so he is not afraid of this little guy going to complain, and the effect is very good. This little guy is now trying his best to beat himself back after he becomes stronger, so he starts to study seriously.
At this moment, a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared in the sky above Mingdao Palace. Xuanfeng naturally knew the reason and knew that his teacher was going to kill the three corpses. He couldn't help but envy in his heart: "Teacher's cultivation has improved too fast."
"It's a pity that I can't go to the Zixiao Palace. If my teacher hadn't stopped me, I would have used my magical powers to eavesdrop, which would have been a disaster."
Xuan Feng thought of his past absurdities and shook his head. He turned to his two junior brothers and said, "You should practice well, especially Kong Xuan. Did you see that? That's what the Five-Colored Divine Light looks like when it reaches perfection. Isn't it amazing?"
"Awesome." Kong Xuan's heart was moved and he was full of yearning. He nodded when he heard it.
"And the same goes for you, Xuan Peng. Your Yin-Yang Divine Light will not be worse than this. You also need to practice hard." Xuan Feng said to Xuan Peng again.
Little Jinpeng raised his head and said, "I will definitely become that strong, and then..."
Before he could finish his words, Little Jin Peng noticed Xuan Feng's gaze and was immediately startled. He quickly stopped talking and dared not say any more.
“Why am I so careless every time and let my true feelings out there?” Xiao Jinpeng thought to himself.
"What will happen then?" Xuan Feng said with a smile.
"When the time comes, when the time comes, I don't know what to do then." Xiao Jinpeng stammered a few times, his momentum completely weakened.
Xuanfeng was also very satisfied when he saw this. It seemed that his way of education was very successful. Wasn't the child very obedient?
"Both of you should practice well." Xuanfeng said, and continued to instruct the two in their practice. The two of them also became more serious.
However, it is said that the red cloud showed five-colored divine light and absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. This strange phenomenon on Wanshou Mountain lasted for a hundred years.
The commotion was so big that it attracted the attention of many powerful people.
Everyone knew that it was Zhen Yuanzi or Hong Yun who was going to chop off the corpse, and they couldn't help but feel envious and nervous.
In fact, it was too late for Hong Yun to behead the corpse. In the ancient times, many powerful people had already successfully beheaded the corpse and were promoted to quasi-saints.
The first one to become a quasi-saint by beheading a corpse was the Three Pure Ones brothers who practiced in Kunlun Mountain. Led by Taiqing Laozi, he was the first to become a quasi-saint by beheading a corpse. Afterwards, Yuqing Yuanshi and Shangqing Tongtian also beheaded corpses one after another.
Another example is the powerful being that appeared on the Sun Star. Now the demon emperor Jun of the demon clan has also successfully beheaded the corpse and become a quasi-saint.
But for some reason, his younger brother Taichi did not chop off the body.
There were also three other powerful people who were also high-ranking members of the demon clan, Fuxi, Nuwa and the demon master Kunpeng, who also succeeded in beheading corpses one after another and became quasi-saints.
