Chapter 96: Five-Element Nirvana Lotus

A smile appeared on his face.

The memories he had obtained from Ye Wuxie had already given him some answers.

This black cauldron was not an ordinary treasure. It was the reason Ye Wuxie had been able to reincarnate.

It was also the second greatest opportunity Ye Wuxie had obtained after inheriting the memories and Will of his previous life.

The Chaos Swallowing Cauldron!

Long Feng’s eyes became serious.

According to the fragmented memories he had obtained, the Chaos Swallowing Cauldron was an extremely terrifying primordial weapon.

It was said to have been born from the primordial chaos at the beginning of the universe.

It could swallow almost any form of energy.

Its origins were so ancient that even Ye Wuxie had never been able to discover who had created it.

Long Feng’s expression gradually became solemn.

Born from primordial chaos...

Just those words were enough to explain how extraordinary this cauldron was.

Before the countless worlds had taken shape, before the ancient races had appeared, before the cultivation path had developed into what it was today, primordial chaos had already existed.

And this cauldron had been born from that chaos.

Long Feng stared at its ancient black surface.

There were no dazzling patterns or overwhelming divine lights covering it. It looked almost ordinary.

Yet the more he looked at it, the more he felt an inexplicable pressure coming from its depths.

It was as though he wasn’t looking at a weapon.

He was looking at a bottomless abyss.

An abyss capable of swallowing everything.

’How did Ye Wuxie even discover something like this?’

Long Feng’s eyes narrowed.

Even Ye Wuxie, with all the memories and knowledge of his previous life, had never truly understood the origin of the cauldron.

That alone was enough to show how terrifyingly ancient it was.

’No wonder.’ Long Feng’s eyes flashed with excitement. Now everything made sense.

Ye Wuxie’s strange cultivation technique and his terrifying cultivation speed. All of it originated from this cauldron.

He had only managed to create a special soul imprint inside the cauldron and use that imprint to control a portion of its power.

Even so, that small portion had already been enough to allow him to cultivate at an astonishing speed.

Long Feng’s smile widened.

’Then let’s see how much of your power I can control.’

He sat down cross-legged. His spiritual sense spread toward the Chaos Swallowing Cauldron.

Long Feng carefully followed the memories he had obtained. His soul power slowly wrapped around the cauldron.

Buzz!

The ancient black cauldron trembled. A faint vibration spread through the cavern.

Long Feng didn’t rush. His spiritual energy entered the cauldron bit by bit while his soul imprint slowly formed.

Every strand of spiritual energy had to be perfectly controlled. One mistake could cause the imprint to collapse.

Time slowly passed as Long Feng continued refining the connection.

The cauldron resisted slightly at first. But compared to Ye Wuxie, Long Feng possessed the powerful Demon Emperor’s Will.

That terrifying Will directly suppressed the resistance of the cauldron.

BOOM!

The black cauldron suddenly trembled violently and a dark light flashed across its surface.

Long Feng’s soul imprint completely entered it. At that moment, he felt as though an enormous world had opened before him.

There was nothing but endless darkness and an incomparably vast swallowing force.

Long Feng’s expression became serious.

’What terrifying power.’

He could feel that the Chaos Swallowing Cauldron was far from being completely mastered.

What Ye Wuxie had used was merely the smallest portion of its abilities. Even now, Long Feng could only control a limited amount, but that was enough.

The black cauldron suddenly floated into the air. Then, it disappeared into Long Feng’s body.

WHOOSH!

Long Feng’s body trembled, but he didn’t become agitated and immediately checked his Dantian with his spiritual senses.

And he found there, the black cauldron was floating quietly beside his Golden Core and not far away was the seed of the Hell Python Flame.

Three completely different existences quietly occupied his Dantian.

As Long Feng focused more and more on the black cauldron, he began to understand it somehow. He didn’t even realize when he started practicing an unknown technique.

Buzz!

A black vortex suddenly appeared around it and began rotating.

At first, it was only the size of a fist. But within seconds, it rapidly expanded.

BOOM!

The surrounding flame energy was violently pulled toward Long Feng.

The entire cavern began trembling. The countless strands of flame energy that had filled the Blazing Flame Mountain for countless years were sucked toward the black vortex at an astonishing speed.

’This speed...’

That stir woke him back up as his expression changed.

He could actually feel the flame energy entering the Chaos Swallowing Cauldron.

Inside the cauldron, the violent energy was being rapidly refined. It was stripped of its impurities and transformed.

A moment later, several tiny drops of crimson liquid appeared inside the cauldron.

Feeling the energy within those tiny drops, Long Feng’s eyes widened.

’Such a pure energy?’

These crimson drops were incredibly condensed. They were formed from the surrounding flame energy after being refined by the Chaos Swallowing Cauldron.

Long Feng immediately guided those crimson liquid through his meridians, slowly refining them.

BOOM!

With such pure energy source’s aid, his spiritual energy surged. His Meridians made drumming sounds, like ten thousand horses galloping.

’It really works.’

This hidden place beneath the Blazing Flame Mountain contained an enormous amount of violent flame energy.

If it would be someone else, then he would be utterly waste.

But for Long Feng, this place had become a perfect cultivation ground. A smile slowly appeared on his face.

’Then I’ll cultivate here.’

He closed his eyes and start cultivating again. The black vortex above his head grew larger.

BOOM!

The surrounding flame energy was swallowed continuously.

Day after day passed but Long Feng remained seated inside the cavern. His cultivation steadily increased.

The violent flame energy of Blazing Flame Mountain was continuously devoured by the Chaos Swallowing Cauldron, refined into pure crimson energy, and absorbed by him.

His foundation became increasingly solid. His spiritual energy became increasingly dense. His Golden Core slowly became more powerful.

Time passed without him noticing. And the wilderness competition was already approaching its final period.

In the underground place, Long Feng’s tightly closed eyes suddenly opened.

BOOM!

A powerful aura erupted from his body. The black vortex above him slowly disappeared. The surrounding flame energy returned to its original state.

Long Feng slowly stood up. His eyes flashed with a sharp light.

’Status.’

As he called out in his heart, a pale blue screen appeared before him.

’Peak Golden Core Realm.’

He could clearly feel the enormous increase in his cultivation.

Not only had his cultivation reached the peak of the Golden Core Realm, but his foundation had also become far more stable and solid.

Long Feng clenched his fist and threw his fist.

BOOM!

A terrifying force erupted from his attack, making a big smile on his face.

’This cultivation technique really is incredible.’

If Ye Wuxie hadn’t obtained the Chaos Swallowing Cauldron, he could never have cultivated this technique.

Without the cauldron’s ability to swallow and refine energy, the cultivation method would have been nearly impossible to practice.

Now that Long Feng possessed it, he could use the same cultivation path.

He had no doubt that he could also fight cultivators above his realm, just like a protagonist.

After stretching up a little, his gaze turned towards Ye Wuxie’s body. The corpse was still lying among the rubble.

Long Feng walked over and searched Ye Wuxie’s body, quickly found his storage ring. He picked it up and inspected it with his spiritual sense.

There weren’t many things inside. Only a few spiritual herbs, some pills, several cultivation resources and a few ordinary treasures.

But he still transferred everything useful into his own storage ring before threw his empty storage ring aside. He didn’t want to leave any clue behind.

However this wasn’t end as he once again looked at the corpse. There was still a faint smirk on his lips.

’That’s not enough.’

He raised his hands and Hell Python flame emerged from his palm. Then he send them towards Ye Wuxie, engulfed his corpse.

WHOOSH!

The body began burning rapidly, flesh turned to ash and bones cracked. The remaining traces of blood essence were consumed by the terrifying flame.

Long Feng watched all of this calmly.

If he didn’t have Ye Wuxie’s memories, he would really think that there was nothing in his body remains.

As long as he didn’t found what he was searching, he wasn’t going to stop.

But just as the corpse was almost completely burned away, something suddenly appeared within the flames.

Long Feng’s eyes narrowed as he increased heat.

A small object slowly floated out from the location of Ye Wuxie’s heart. It was about the size of a palm, something similar to a lotus.

Its petals were divided into five distinct colors, red, blue, green, white and yellow.

Long Feng’s eyes flashed. The moment he saw it, memories from Ye Wuxie’s soul fragments immediately surfaced in his mind.

’The Five-Element Nirvana Lotus.’

According to the memories, this was an extremely precious treasure.
