<h4>Chapter 1427: Chapter 1424: Have You No Shame?</h4>
On the Yanzhou Cauldron, the Yin energy that was once so thick it almost solidified began to churn and twist violently under the touch of the Spiritual Spring, as if a group of disturbed ghosts struggling in despair.
But the power of the Spiritual Spring was so pure and strong, like warm sunlight piercing through heavy clouds, ruthlessly dispelling all darkness and cold.
Under the cleansing of the Spiritual Spring, the Yin energy gradually lost its original form and strength, either transforming into wisps of smoke drifting away with the wind or being assimted by the pure energy of the Spring, turning into threads of fresh spiritual energy surrounding the Yanzhou Cauldron.
The entire process unfolded like a vivid painting before Xu Wendong’s eyes, leaving him in awe.
As time passed, the Yin energy on the Yanzhou Cauldron was finallypletely purified, reced by ayer of gentle, glowing spiritual energy.
This spiritual energy not only restored the Cauldron’s ancient simplicity and solemnity but also endowed it with an unprecedented life force and vitality.
Seeing the Yin energy thoroughly purified, Xu Wendong bit his fingertip and dripped blood onto the Yanzhou Cauldron.
In an instant.
The Cauldron transformed into a green light, merging into his brow.
Soon after.
The Cauldron appeared in his vast Sea of Consciousness.
The Harmonious Path Sutra Fragment floated above the Sea of Consciousness.
Xu Wendong initially thought it would take a long time to refine the Yanzhou Cauldron.
But to his astonishment, right after recognizing him with blood, the Cauldron epted him, and saying it was instantaneously refined would not be an exaggeration.
"All things have spirit, this is indeed true!"
Xu Wendong was not surprised by the Cauldron acknowledging him; after all, he was the one who purified its Yin energy, so its eptance of him was reasonable.
Moreover, both he and the Yanzhou Cauldron hail from Earth.
In this aspect, the Cauldron would naturally prioritize recognizing him.
After refining the Cauldron, Xu Wendong gained a bit more confidence in facing the Heavenly Tribtion, and his next goal was to find the Dragon Yang Stone.
As long as he finds the Dragon Yang Stone, he can awaken the Dragon Soul.
This is a Divine Dragon, after all!
Knowing supreme secret techniques, if it awakens, Xu Wendong’s odds of surviving the Heavenly Tribtion would surely increase.
Unfortunately.
He searched the Ancient Immortal Secret Realm for over twenty days without finding the Dragon Yang Stone.
And at this time.
He had already been in the Ancient Immortal Secret Realm for an entire month.
Which means he had only twenty days left.
In these twenty days, even if he can’t find the Dragon Yang Stone, he must return to the mortal world and find a hidden ce to brave the tribtion!
Though he found nothing in these twenty days.
He discovered.
That while the Ancient Immortal Secret Realm was fraught with danger, filled with ancient formations, some man-eating flowers, and mountain spirits, there were no living creatures of flesh and blood.
This made him question many aspects of his own death.
"With my copy’s strength, even if it couldn’t defeat that formation, it could transmit what happened to me."
"But before his death, I felt nothing."
"What exactly happened?"
Xu Wendong felt bewildered and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
Another ten days passed.
Xu Wendong still found nothing.
However.
He noticed the Ancient Immortal Secret Realm had be lively.
Many Heavenly Prides appeared, all dignified and exceptionally powerful.
Arge number.
At least ten thousand.
This was unprecedented in previous tournaments.
Previously, the Grand Tournament of Hundred Nations would have at most two hundred Heavenly Prides entering.
But this time it was an unprecedented ten thousand.
Clearly.
The Human Race was making final preparations to attack the Immortal Realm.
"Has the Grand Tournament of Heavenly Pride for the Hundred Nations ended?" Xu Wendong murmured, no longer remaining low-key as he left the Peni Fairy Ind Minor World.
Although it was very safe in the Peni Fairy Ind Minor World.
Inside, however, his Soul Force couldn’t cover his surroundingspletely.
He could only focus on one direction.
While in the outside world, he could search much more thoroughly.
He didn’t know where the Dragon Yang Stone was.
But he trusted the Dragon Soul.
If there were a Dragon Yang Stone in his vicinity, the Dragon Soul within him would surely sense it, and he could feel the Dragon Soul’s abnormality, thereby inferring the Dragon Yang Stone’s exact location.
This method was clumsy, but it was his only option.
"Hand over the Xuanyuan Ancient Sword’s fragment, or I’ll send you to your death!"
One day.
A cold voice reached Xu Wendong’s ears.
Such situations had bemonce to Xu Wendong in recent days.
Anyone obtaining a particr spiritual medicine or treasure would attract other cultivators’ envy.
He originally didn’t want to meddle.
But.
A familiar voice reached his ears: "Then let’s see if you can defeat me!"
Upon hearing this.
Xu Wendong’s eyes widened with shock, and the power of Samsara spread out, eventually leading him to see a figure in a white dress standing in the void.
In the vast and majestic firmament, there was a woman, dressed in a white dress untouched by dust, strolling amidst the clouds and mist in the immortal realm, as if she were the purest color in heaven and earth, standing aloof from worldly affairs.
Her appearance was pure and refined, her brows and eyes held the depth and gentleness of eternal stars, each nce capable of stirring the souls of all things in the world, making people feel awe yet irresistible curiosity to approach.
Her long hair cascaded like a waterfall, lightly falling at her waist, gently swaying with the breeze, carrying a faint fragrance, a freshness from ancient forests interwoven with the immortal energy from the Nine Heavens, intoxicating to the senses.
Her steps were light, each seeming to tread upon the void, dust-free and untouched by worldly things, like a fairy of floating waves, walking the thin line between fantasy and reality.
A faint spiritual light surrounded her, adding to her transcendent temperament.
She appeared like a fairy stepping out of a painting!
Her presence was like a white lotus blooming proudly in the extreme cold, despite adversity, even more demonstrating its purity and resilience, inspiring admiration.
In front of her, a group of cultivators at the Great Ascension Peak held sharp weapons, exuding a formidable presence, making them appear not to be trifled with.
"Is it her?"
Seeing the woman in the white dress, Xu Wendong couldn’t help but brighten.
He had shared hardships with five women of the Human Race in the Demon Realm, and upon returning, he had been fortunate to meet Fei Yan, Hongying, and Zi Yan again.
But he hadn’t found Bai Zhi and Xue Wu.
And the woman in the white dress before him was Bai Zhi!
He hadn’t expected Bai Zhi to have also reached the Great Ascension Peak cultivation level, which was far more profound than that of Fei Yan, Zi Yan, and Hongying.
However.
Now facing a group of cultivators at the Great Ascension Peak, her chances of survival seemed slim.
A man in a white robe sneered disdainfully: "Bai Zhi, I know you are exceptionally gifted, and even I can’t easily defeat you one-on-one. But now we have over ten Great Ascension Peak experts here."
"If you don’t hand over the Xuanyuan Ancient Sword fragment, next year today will be your death anniversary!"
Xu Wendong couldn’t stand it anymore and snorted coldly: "A group of big men bullying a weak woman in public, do you have no shame?"
