Longevity starts from having a daughter in old age

Chapter 301: Chapter 270: Jue of Heaven and Earth Moving Cauldron_1

Xu Mu left the large cauldron he was working with and moved towards the gargantuan Divine Cauldron at the center.

The crowd, who were focused in contemplation with their eyes closed, immediately opened their eyes upon hearing the footsteps. They couldn’t understand what Xu Mu was up to this time.

By now, they were genuinely scared; if Xu Mu messed up, they might all get dragged down with him:

If they were kicked out, they wouldn’t know how to explain to the people behind them.

Fortunately, Xu Mu only went to the center to observe the text on the Divine Cauldron and didn’t do anything else, which put their minds at ease.

They were just confused. After all this time, why hadn’t this guy given up? Had he really figured something out?

“Hmph! I’d like to see how long you can keep this up!”

Murong Shun thought disdainfully.

After Xu Mu had previously shown him up, he had thoroughly developed a dislike for him.

The others glanced at Xu Mu standing in front of the Divine Cauldron with furrowed brows, and once they saw that there was nothing unusual, they too, gradually turned their attention away, getting back to deciphering their own spells.

“This guy has no idea of the trouble he’s getting himself into,” They thought, taking delight in his expected misfortune.

Only Wu Chun sighed. His ally was being a bit stubborn.

“I don’t understand!”

Xu Mu frowned, staring at the text on the cauldron, reading it over and over again, only to find that he didn’t understand most of it.

Even the small part that he did understand, he wasn’t certain about.

The characters on the cauldron were better described as mysterious symbols or even patterns that were all steeped in abstraction.

“If these characters are indiscipherable, how did the original people understand them?”

Xu Mu opened the system, looked at the newly learned skill, hesitated for a moment, and once again invested some Luck Value to elevate it to the Perfection level.

Now, gazing upon the symbols on the Divine Cauldron, he seemed to understand a bit more.

“As I thought! There is a connection between the two!”

The Nine Cauldron skill he had mastered was likely the prerequisite to understanding the spell on the Divine Cauldron.

Perhaps it was a simplified version written by a highly skilled cultivator who pondered over the Divine Cauldron, serving as annotations.

As long as the Nine Cauldron Skill was fully practiced, learning the spell of the Divine Cauldron should not be a problem.

This feeling of solving a puzzle excited Xu Mu.

With a clear idea in his mind, Xu Mu continued to enhance the realm of his Yuan Ding Skill.

Master!

Grandmaster!

Transcendent!

The moment he reached the Transcendent stage, Xu Mu felt as if he experienced an epiphany. The once obscure and mysterious text on the Divine Cauldron seemed to come alive and the hidden meanings naturally made their way into his mind.

A new skill appeared on his system panel –

Jue of Heaven and Earth Moving Cauldron!

The spell was tier ten!

At the same time, the Yuan Ding Skill he began learning showed a fusion prompt.

“Just a spell to control the Divine Cauldron can reach tier ten!”

Xu Mu was quite shocked.

After blending the two spells, the level of the Jue of Heaven and Earth Moving Cauldron remained the same, just its proficiency level reached a comfortable level.

By this point, Xu Mu began to feel a headache, unsure if he should continue upgrading the level of the Jue of Heaven and Earth Moving Cauldron.

This was very much a control spell specifically developed for the Divine Cauldron. Once mastered, it could manipulate the Divine Cauldron to perform various functions.

This included refining remnants of souls, extracting Soul Power, and even alchemy.

The grade of this Divine Cauldron was alarmingly high, it had its own independent space inside that could be used for storage and even to suppress enemies. Unless it was a Refining Void Stage cultivator who could control the Law of Space, escaping was impossible.

If Xu Mu could elevate the Jue of Heaven and Earth Moving Cauldron to the transcendent realm, he might be able to fully refine it even at the Golden Core Stage.

Know that this great cauldron has been left in the heavenly prison for so many years, and no one has ever fully refined it, otherwise it wouldn’t be here.

When using it, there is no need for the assistance of the other nine tripods. One person can easily use it.

The spell is good! The tripod is also good!

But——

“This isn’t mine!”

If he really dared to refine this God Refining Tripod, he might immediately get his own cell in the heavenly prison.

Is it necessary to invest so much Luck Value just for this one use?

Given his current spell realm, it’s easy for him to control any of the nine great cauldrons. He can easily complete the task as others definitely can’t compare to him.

The God Refining Tripod need not be controlled by him, there really is no need for him to learn.

As Xu Mu was worried and hesitating, someone walked into the hall again.

A young man in a purple-gold flood dragon robe, upright in stature, with an indescribably noble demeanor.

“Greetings, Prince Jade!”

Someone recognized the young man and immediately knelt down on one knee to salute him. Everyone else followed suit. Naturally, Xu Mu didn’t dare to stand out. The young man’s Nascent Soul Stage aura was completely unhidden.

“Hmm!”

The young man nodded expressionlessly as if he were a graceful nobleman, and walked to the side of the God Refining Tripod.

He didn’t bother looking at everyone else, only giving Xu Mu an extra glance. Not because Xu Mu was special, but simply because he was standing next to the God Refining Tripod.

However, this Prince Jade was not arrogant or overbearing. He didn’t use Xu Mu to gain prestige. After arriving next to the God Refining Tripod, he glanced at him, then flew to the lid of the God Refining Tripod and sat cross-legged.

A wave of spiritual power emanated from Prince Jade and seeped into the God Refining Tripod, obviously running the Martial Method to refine it.

Everyone else got up and continued their study, some also followed Prince Jade’s lead and began to try to refine the great cauldron in front of them.

Seeing this scene, Xu Mu completely abandoned the idea of enhancing the Jue of Heaven and Earth Moving Cauldron. He returned to his spot, pretending to comprehend the spells on the cauldron.

Just do the task honestly. Thought there would be some secret, really wasted so much of my Luck Value for nothing.

Xu Mu sighed in his heart, a dejected expression on his face.

Seeing Xu Mu’s change in expression, Xu Lingyu couldn’t help but worry, “Do you have any problems?”

If he cannot complete the task, it will be not only awkward, but also impossible to give an account to the princess.

“Huh?”

It was the first time Xu Lingyu actively spoke to him, causing Xu Mu to be slightly surprised. Then he smiled and said, “Don’t worry!”

He had already elevated the single spell to the transcendental level. It would be easy for him to refine it, he just didn’t want to stand out too much.

“Are you sure?”

Xu Lingyu was still a little worried.

“If I fail to complete the task, I will go see the princess with my head!” Xu Mu had no way to explain, so he gave her an assurance.

Only then did Xu Lingyu feel a little bit at ease.

Although she did not expect Xu Mu to really go to see Li Youlan with his head, but daring to say so, at least shows that he was confident.

Time passed day by day. Out of the nine groups participating, eight had already finished refining the great cauldrons and were prepared. Only Xu Mu seemed to be gritting his teeth and working hard. Everyone was worried that he wouldn’t be able to refine the cauldron in time and drag everyone down.

Fortunately, he successfully refined the cauldron before Prince Jade, giving everyone a sigh of relief.

A part of the crowd’s resentment towards him grew stronger!

“This bastard is really looking for trouble. He insists on wasting so much time studying the spells on the other great cauldrons. You better not cause problems when the Great Array starts, or we’ll make you pay.”

The subordinates of the first prince, second prince, and the seventh princess, all looked at Xu Mu with malicious intent, even threatening him.

Xu Mu simply ignored them.

At this point, Prince Jade opened his eyes and looked at Xu Mu again, saying, “Let’s get started if you are ready!”
