Chapter 384 - 170: Carp in the River, Splendor of the Immortal Dynasty (Part 4)
As his body rose, the whole person soared into the sky, rapidly streaking towards the high heavens.
With the blessing of the Grotto Heaven, he could naturally fly, mastering ultimate control, ascending to Grandmaster; whether it was the cost of flying or the specific speed, both had greatly improved.
The Azure Thunder Profound Halberd had unlocked its flying module after he fulfilled the requirements, but since he was traveling alone, Qin Jin decided not to opt for piloting the mecha.
After a simple exploration of the water source, Qin Jin’s target was clear, preparing to revisit the origins, to see if any changes appeared in the sky above.
His form ascended, breaking through the Celestial Membrane, entering once again into the restrictions of the Divine Cauldron.
At the instant of entering this place, Qin Jin’s gaze was fixed dead ahead, unable to turn away.
In previous visits, the Divine Cauldron Fragments lay across the sky, dim as if treasures covered with dust, showing no power, and with some fragments having even fallen, the sight appeared desolate.
Like the collapse of the illustrious Immortal Dynasty of old, seemingly erased from existence, this unparalleled Immortal Treasure was shattered into fragments, and with the erosion of time, reduced to this scene; some fragments, having fallen, were completely lost, tinged with melancholy.
But now...
Across the entire sky, the bronze chains connecting the fragments emitted Divine Light, dazzlingly bright, and on the myriad fragments, splendor unfurled as various magnificent scenes manifested above!
On some fragments, scenes of agriculture were etched, with related images flashing across the surface, and as Qin Jin glanced over, he had a premonition that if he obtained this fragment, it would certainly result in bountiful harvests when used in farming.
On some fragments were scenes of construction, with craftsmen of the Human Race laboring in unity to erect grand structures.
Scenes of trade, of imparting techniques, of war, the multitude of life’s states, birth, aging, sickness, death, a period of prosperity... and so on!
The sounds of haggling, of battle cries, of philosophical discourse, resounding in Qin Jin’s observation, transformed into wondrous tones, as if he were truly amid it all.
A cauldron overshadowed everything.
Recreating the splendor of the Immortal Dynasty!
During the crafting of this Divine Cauldron by the united efforts of the Immortal Dynasty in ancient times, perhaps countless events from within the dynasty were inscribed and born upon the cauldron’s body.
Incomparably grand, incomparably magnificent.
It was an epic of unparalleled grandeur.
The once desolate scene was likely just the numerous fragments of the Mountain and River Divine Cauldron still in a dormant state, now... the divine might of the cauldron, appearing for the first time, reemerged in the world, truly showcasing its extraordinariness!
After observing earnestly for a while, Qin Jin tentatively approached the fragments.
This time...
He encountered resistance, only able to observe and not approach.
To this, Qin Jin was not disappointed; after all, these Divine Cauldron Fragments were evidently extraordinary at first glance.
"Catching the academy’s task period is also a good thing."
"During this time, my schedule will be more flexible."
"With such a great change occurring in the Great Wilderness, I can explore seriously, confirming the specifics."
The thought passed by.
After confirming his inability to approach the fragments, only able to witness the sacred evolution above, Qin Jin did not choose to leave immediately.
He walked through the air beneath the fragments, wandering aimlessly for a while.
This was in waiting.
With the thought that there might be other Celestial Cyan Technique inheritors within the Great Wilderness, he wondered... with such a transformation in the Great Wilderness, would these inheritors have the capability or the same thought as him, to come and investigate?
He searched around.
But saw no one.
The Divine Cauldron Fragments enveloped the entire Great Wilderness, vast and broad, and with Qin Jin’s current abilities, he could not complete the search of this entire large area. After waiting for some time to no avail, he chose to turn back.
After passing through the Celestial Membrane, standing in the high sky, standing on the firmament, around him, there were no clouds for miles.
The Divine Light dazzling, looking down from the firmament, the places transformed by anomalies were clearly visible and numerous.
If just one region is like this, then what of the entire Great Wilderness?
"The Great Wilderness is going to become chaotic."
Qin Jin’s eyes darkened slightly: "For now, it’s still manageable, but when all the tribes deepen their exploration of these transformed places, they will become contested grounds for countless tribes."
His eyes continually pondered.
"I also need to make some preparations..."
Passing through the sky, he wasn’t eager to return to the Sacrificial Fire Tribe but instead headed toward the nearest transformed area.
This transformed area was a grand mountain, under the shroud of Divine Light, standing on the ground, looking peculiar from afar.
Two pillar-like peaks stood on either side, with rugged cliffs extending high up, letting the peaks touch at the center’s highest point, appearing masterfully constructed, while the junction above resembled a giant arch bridge, and from afar, the entire Twin Peaks looked like a massive doorway standing between heaven and earth.
Flying swiftly.
Qin Jin quickly approached, arriving before the Divine Light.
While piloting the Azure Thunder Profound Halberd, he needed to mobilize his Spiritual Power, but entering here by himself, he needed no such actions, effortlessly entering.
At the moment of entering.
Vast Spiritual Power rose around him; it was as if he had entered some Sacred Land of cultivation, causing his Spirit Ruins to quiver slightly, making his Spiritual Power exceptionally active.
"This transformed place also appears to have rankings, not all equal."
Qin Jin landed in the center, on top of the connecting [arch bridge] between the two peaks.
Looking down from the steep cliffs, it was perhaps thousands of feet high, a sight only possible in such an extraordinary place as the Great Wilderness, witnessing such magnificent mountains and rivers.
Qin Jin walked along this naturally formed peculiar arch bridge towards one of the peaks.
At the peak, the trees thrived, vegetation was lush, and on the sheer cliffs, pines and cypresses grew, resilient and robust, seemingly not mundane, full of spiritual energy.
Moving forward, observing all the way, Qin Jin examined this area.
"Cultivating within the Great Wilderness in the future, I can also seek a more extraordinary transformed place, accelerating my cultivation progress."
Various thoughts flashed through his mind.
Qin Jin ascended to one of the peak tops.
The two peaks, unique in shape, looked like the pillars of heaven, unlike the mundane.
After ascending to the top, with a sweep of his gaze, Qin Jin paused sharply while staring at one place, focus suddenly intensified!
The vegetation at the peak grew tall and lush.
At that moment, Qin Jin, fingers extended like a sword, with Spiritual Power like a blade, slashed through the lush grass in front of him, revealing the scene behind.
The object that caught his attention revealed its true form.
It was a stele.
Despite its peculiar shape, it held a naturally formed beauty on this peak; the stone stele looked out of place, extremely smooth, with evident marks of being artificially crafted.
Moreover...
It bore inscriptions.
The script was familiar to Qin Jin—it was the Celestial Cyan Characters!
On the body of the stele, three vertically inscribed characters appeared like a Boundary Stele.
[Dragon Gate Peak]
At that instant, Qin Jin was momentarily lost, then shock surged within, his power visibly fluctuating, immediately followed by... a sudden enlightenment, revealing clarity on his face.
His state of mind inevitably wavered because this scene far surpassed his expectations.
Qin Jin gazed at the stone stele, at the mountain peak beneath his feet, through the Divine Light, and again at the other areas shrouded in Divine Light.
"This isn’t a mere transformation!"
"If it’s just a change in the Great Wilderness’ environment, becoming extraordinary, then it would be understandable—but how could there be a Boundary Stele, how could there be the name of a mountain?"
"This is..."
Qin Jin felt a tingling scalp, fist slightly clenched, as a thought formed, pondering the only possibility.
"This is, from countless eons ago, during the true ancient times, the wondrous place where the Immortal Dynasty existed, the extraordinary land."
"And now,"
"It reemerges in the Great Wilderness!"
