Chapter 951 - Supreme Heritage
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The Nascent Soul cultivators were the fastest. In the blink of an eye, they had arrived in front of the cauldron. They all reached out to grab it.
Suddenly, the cauldron shook, and flames gushed out. There were flames of various colors, including green, black, and white.
The flames spread in all directions and turned that area into a sea of fire.
“Ahh!”
A Nascent Soul monster cried in agony when he was burned by the flames. His expression was fearful as he cried out in shock, “That’s… that’s elemental fire!”
A few more Nascent Soul cultivators cried out in agony as they retreated quickly.
They looked in disbelief at the sea of flames in front of them.
Elemental fire was very rare, but there was a sea of elemental fire in front of them.
Everyone dared not get any closer.
The flames that surrounded the cauldron coalesced into various shapes. There were dragons, phoenixes, and all sorts of exotic beasts.
Those beasts were formed from elemental fire. They exuded a terrifying qi aura.
One of the white rain dragons shot up into the sky, let out a howl and circled three times in the air before descending to the ground and transformed into an old man.
“The demigods of ancient times extracted gold from the stars and crafted this cauldron. The cauldron can refine stars, suns, moons, and the myriad worlds in the Void… There is nothing in the cosmos that the cauldron cannot refine.
“My name is Beifeng Lie, and I am the eighteenth-generation cauldron keeper. With the cauldron, I have refined mountains and seas, severed the Three Paths, and I was on the verge of Immortality. After I died, I transformed into a spirit to guard the cauldron.”
The old man spoke solemnly.
Everyone was shocked when they heard that.
There were several more states after the State of the Nascent Soul, namely, the State of Path Seeking, the State of Path Severance, and the State of Immortality.
In the Ninth Continent, there were no cultivators in the State of Path Seeking. Needless to say, there were none in the States of Path Severance and Immortality.
The old man turned his gaze toward Tang Hao. “You have a certain affinity with the cauldron. If you can pass the trials, you shall be the nineteenth-generation cauldron keeper! Are you willing to accept the trials?”
Tang Hao quickly nodded. At this juncture, there was no other choice!
“Alright!”
The old man nodded, transformed into a white rain dragon, and charged toward Tang Hao.
“This is infernal phosphorus fire!”
The old man’s voice resounded across the sky.
In the next moment, the white rain dragon charged into Tang Hao’s body and began to burn his flesh and blood.
Tang Hao quickly sat down cross-legged and activated his divine bone to resist the power of the infernal fire.
He was quite worried at first, but he soon realized that the infernal phosphorus fire was not as damaging as the green elemental fire. He could grit his teeth and endure it.
Fifteen minutes later, the fire rushed out.
“I, Bei Feng Lie, acknowledge you as the keeper of the cauldron.”
The white rain dragon rushed out and dissipated into the sea of fire.
Tang Hao took the opportunity to regulate his breathing.
A moment later, an azure pheasant rushed out of the sea of fire and transformed into a man in a green robe.
“My name Is Ji Yao, the seventeenth-generation cauldron keeper. With the cauldron, I dominated the world and vanquished millions of enemies. I am unrivaled!”
He roared loudly, and his killing intent surged.
He transformed into an azure pheasant again and rushed into Tang Hao’s body.
Tang Hao’s expression immediately changed. That guy was much more powerful than the old man from before. He gritted his teeth and barely managed to persevere.
Fifteen minutes later, the azure pheasant rushed out from his body.
“You are qualified to be the nineteenth-generation cauldron keeper!”
The azure pheasant soared into the sky and merged with the sea of fire.
All this while, the other people could only watch anxiously on the sidelines. They tried to rush forward, but the beasts forced them back. Some of the weaker ones were reduced to ashes.
A short while later, a pitch-black exotic beast rushed out. It was a qilin, and it charged into Tang Hao’s body without saying a word.
“You are worthy to be the nineteenth generation cauldron keeper.”
The exotic beasts charged out one after another and transformed into the previous generation cauldron keepers. Each one of them was more powerful than the previous one.
Any ordinary person would not have been able to withstand it, but Tang Hao was different. He had a divine bone that augmented his physical abilities. As his injuries recovered, it became easier and easier for him to withstand the trials.
Eventually, he channeled the power of those spirits to break down the barriers of his chakras.
A point of divine light lit up on his left leg. That was the seventh chakra.
“F*ck! He’s unsealing his chakras!”
Everyone was dumbfounded. That kid was unsealing his chakras while being attacked by elemental fire!
“Oh my god! He unsealed it! His seventh chakra is unsealed!”
Everyone cried out in surprise when they saw the point of light on Tang Hao’s body.
Five-chakra prodigies were already rare, let alone seven-chakra prodigies. They had witnessed the birth of a seven-chakra prodigy with their own eyes!
“Is he still unsealing the others? Has he lost his mind? Does he plan to unseal all nine chakras?”
“Which trial was that? Why hasn’t the kid been reduced to ashes?”
When the eighth chakra lit up, everyone went crazy.
Screech!
A vermillion bird soared into the sky. After landing, it transformed into a bewitching woman.
She giggled and said, “Not bad, not bad! Ten should have been enough, but you’ve managed to hold on until now! I am Zhurong Yu, the fifth-generation cauldron keeper. I’d like to see if you can pass my trial!
“This isn’t ordinary fire. It’s called skyblaze fire!”
As she said that, she transformed into a vermillion bird and rushed into Tang Hao’s body.
In an instant, Tang Hao felt as if his entire body was burning.
Skyblaze fire was much more damaging than all the previous fires. It was on a completely different level.
Tang Hao gritted his teeth and channeled the power of the divine bone. Wherever the fire burned away his flesh and blood, the power of the divine bone would quickly repair it.
At the same time, he guided the power of the fire toward the ninth chakra.
Fifteen minutes later, the soft and charming voice was heard again.
“Not bad! I admit that you’re powerful. Now, I will help you!”
The fire in his body rushed up to his head. The Tongtian chakra, the ninth and most difficult chakra, was located there.
The barrier of the chakra started to loosen after the fire struck it several times.
A faint divine light bloomed above Tang Hao’s head.
“Impossible! That’s impossible!”
Everyone cried out in shock.
They knew that unsealing the ninth chakra was too difficult! Since ancient times, many of the best prodigies had stumbled there. Those who managed to pass the hurdle were exceedingly rare.
A moment later, the divine light gradually dimmed.
Everyone immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
“I told you, it’s impossible! It would be a miracle if he actually unsealed it!” The elder from Primeval Mountain said with an awkward laugh.
At that moment, an earth-shaking roar was heard. A black dragon soared into the sky and transformed into a man in black clothes.
“Hahaha! Wonderful! Another young monster! I shall help you today. It’s up to you to overcome the obstacle!”
The man in black clothes laughed out loud, transformed into a black dragon again, and charged into Tang Hao’s body.
In an instant, the divine light became brighter.
However, it was still not enough.
Another dragon’s roar sounded, and a red dragon soared into the sky.
“My name is Cangjie Li, the third generation cauldron keeper! I’m here to aid the nineteenth-generation keeper!”
The dragon did not change into his human form and directly charged into Tang Hao’s body.
The next moment, a fire phoenix screeched, soared into the sky, and transformed into an effeminate man with red hair and eyes.
“My name is Jie! The second-generation cauldron keeper is here to help you!”
After his introduction, he transformed into a fire phoenix and charged into Tang Hao’s body.
