Chapter 899

Revealing Cauldron

“Mu Yu, please, as a member of Pill Cauldron Sect, please help us. I know you are exceptionally skilled. Please help us. I can’t just watch Pill Cauldron Sect fall from grace in Shi Dengtian’s hands. Please, Mu Yu,” Yao Wuji quavered.

“I’m no match for Qian Shange and Wan Shuiyao; my cultivation is lacking. That’s not to mention Elders Hong Yuan and Hong Yi are also on their side. You are also supposed to be under their control. I heard them mention the formation protecting Daoist Yun Dan and that it is located here. What did they mean by that?”

“The formation is a secret of our sect. Millennia ago, one of our ancestors was as well-versed in formations as he was with pills whom we called Immortal Ancestor Dan Chen, taking the ‘dan’ and ‘chen’ from ‘alchemy’ and ‘formations’ respectively.

“Immortal Ancestor Dan Chen used this spiritual qi core to construct the teleportation formation to Second Heaven. Taking into consideration our poor combat abilities, he created a formation that would protect every patriarch in each era from being controlled by using this sacred place’s pill pattern. The pill pattern is also the sect’s barrier’s core.”

“Where is the pill pattern?”

Yao Wuji pointed to the sealed teleportation formation in the centre of the cavern. “I believe it is fair for you to know as you are Senior Brother Ku Mu’s successor. The pill pattern is inside the formation. Put another way, not only does the formation teleport one to Second Heaven, but there’s also a formation domain inside.”

Despite Mu Yu’s best efforts, he was unable to detect the formation domain despite noticing active formation lines.

Yao Wuji clapped his hands and jumped to his feet out of the blue. “I totally forgot! As a formation caster, you can try obtaining Immortal Ancestor Dan Chen’s inheritance. If you can, you can save the sect!”

“Can you elaborate?”

“Even though Immortal Ancestor Dan Chen left behind alchemy and formation knowledge, alchemists berated formation casters and formations. That is why alchemists never invested time in the formation knowledge. It is too late for us to start learning at this point as conventional formations in this era are drastically different to ancient formations. As none of us comprehends ancient formations, or any formations for that matter, we have no means of inheriting Immortal Ancestor Danchen’s inheritance. You, on the other hand, have a chance for you are Ku Mu’s disciple.

“Immortal Ancestor Danchen strength came from his knowledge in both fields. He combined formations with pills to create new effects or enhance the effects. He is the one who invented explosion pills. From what I have heard, formations can be used to bolster the impact of explosion pills. I suppose you could give it a try.”

Mu Yu thought, Could Dad be Immortal Ancestor Dan Chen? That’s his combo, isn’t it?

“Come with me.”

Yao Wuji grabbed Mu Yu and flew to the teleportation formation. Yao Wuji spawned the one and only complex formation pattern he knew, activating the teleportation formation. The sensation of being inside a void was the giveaway that they were standing inside a formation domain. A pill cauldron with a golden formation pattern coating it stood at a kilometre tall stood in the ethereal space.

The pill cauldron in the expansive space was the same one Mu Yu saw the first time he visited Pill Cauldron Sect. Cai Lie tried to share its history with Mu Yu. Unfortunately, Ku Mu cut Cai Lie off that day so that Mu Yu would not seem ignorant and then forgot to tell Mu Yu its history later on.

“This cauldron is linked to the same version outside. In case Ku Mu hasn’t explained their significance to you, they are what guard us from foreign invaders. Not even an army of hundreds of Ascension Realm cultivators can muscle their way through as long as they stand. Unfortunately, it can’t stop rats, like Shi Dengtian. This cauldron is called Revealing Cauldron. Revealing Cauldron is what protects Patriarch from almost everything. Without it, he is extremely vulnerable.

“The spiritual qi here is incredibly potent. For that reason, elders in the sect frequently meditate here to expedite their progress. Immortal Ancestor Dan Chen stated that the lucky individual will be able to cultivate inside the cauldron to attain something special. For as long as it has been here, Ku Mu was the only one who had that privilege. He never told us what he learnt the one time he entered. Since you are his disciple, I believe you should also have the same luck.”

Mu Yu and Yao Wuji leapt up to the rim of the cauldron, feasting their eyes on the colourful world inside that also resembled an inferno. There was no telling what was actually inside for the formation coating the cauldron kept it hidden.

“Try entering. If you are lucky, you will be able to enter.”

Yao Wuji was stuck on the formation, indicating he was not granted entry. Mu Yu gave it a try, generating a ripple upon stepping on. The two of them waited for something to happen. Sadly, that wish was not realised.
