CHAPTER 1216: CHAPTER 797: SWORD BODY AND GREAT CAULDRON (PART 2)

Because the Heavenly Dao Laws restrict each other, it’s basically impossible for one race to dominate unless they seize the Divine Patterns that restrain their own race’s Heavenly Dao Laws.

"So many Heavenly Dao Laws are sealing off the Broken Sword, how are we supposed to get past them? It’s simply unachievable!" Erha said, peeking out from the pocket.

"Unless we find someone tough-skinned and thick-fleshed, who can withstand the power of the Heavenly Dao Laws, otherwise it’s very difficult." Hai Fuyu said.

After a while, he added, "I can only think of one person who could do it."

"Who?" Xiaohei asked.

"The old Giant Spirit, Father Pu!" Hai Fuyu said.

"He can withstand the power of the Heavenly Dao Laws?" Xiaohei asked in surprise.

"Don’t underestimate Father Pu, he is an extremely powerful existence. Many Heavenly Dao Laws may not even be able to break his defense. The Headless Broken Hand, Ten Not Complete One, these Heavenly Dao Laws were cast on his body, and they wouldn’t affect him!" Hai Fuyu said.

"Ah, so if he didn’t care about his people, would he be invincible?" Xiaohei asked.

"Not completely invincible, but close. The Dao Palace once suppressed him using the Yu Divine Stele and our Ruishui River to restrain their weaknesses, but they couldn’t kill him. The only thing that can obliterate him is the Giant Spirit Divine Patterns, so if he were at his peak, he could completely ignore the traps here." Hai Fuyu said.

"That is truly a pity."

Xiaohei, with hands on hips, looked regretful. He turned his head and said, "Feifei, we must find a way to steal back the Giant Spirit Divine Patterns, so we can rely on the old Giant Spirit to deal with the Dao Palace!"

Currently, the Giant Spirit Divine Patterns are in the hands of the Dao Palace. This world does not permit the existence of the Giant Spirit Race, no matter how powerful the old Giant Spirit is, he can’t move freely in this world, and can only linger in the small area of the Bone Mountain Desert Stone Cave.

"Or if the Ancestral Artifacts you’ve collected have invincible Divine Patterns, you might try." Hai Fuyu added.

"No invincible Divine Patterns." Xiang Beifei shook his head.

He currently possesses the power of the Ancestral Dao Realm temporarily, just barely able to explore the capabilities of the Ancestral Artifacts, including Wufeng, the Brick, the Yu Divine Stele, the Stone Tower; the Heavenly Dao Divine Patterns they seal are partially clear.

Of course, there are still many Divine Patterns that cannot be detected because of the Ancestral Artifacts’ brokenness. And the breakage causes another factor, even if he has invincible Divine Patterns now, in reality, they are not invincible.

As Hai Fuyu said, the Heavenly Dao Divine Patterns restrict each other, the power varies in strength, and if the power of the invincible Divine Patterns isn’t complete, it would still be crushed by other Divine Patterns!

"Then you’ve confirmed what you need to, you understand the situation clearly, can you leave now?" Hai Fuyu asked.

There are thousands of Heavenly Dao Laws guarding around the Broken Sword’s blade, not to mention the dozen or so strong Ancestral Dao Realm masters hiding in the dark, making it impossible to successfully take the Broken Sword.

"Damn it, isn’t there any other way?" Xiaohei was extremely unwilling.

"I suggest you continue to seek out complete Ancestral Artifacts, only Ancestral Artifacts can defeat Ancestral Artifacts, and of course, you need to improve your own strength, otherwise, you will find it hard to control even the Ancestral Artifacts."

Hai Fuyu assessed Xiang Beifei and said, "You have great potential, the burning Yang and Yin are also very mysterious Heavenly Dao powers, what you lack is cultivation. Maybe when you improve your cultivation, you can try again here."

Xiang Beifei understood this truth well.

The only power he can currently wield is the Thunder Divine Patterns, but other aspects of power remain his own realm.

For instance, the power of burning Yang and Yin, when he uses it, only possesses the power of the early Ascending Dao stage.

Such power, when facing the Heavenly Dao Divine Patterns, is almost useless, and can easily be blocked.

He was still too weak.

Xiang Beifei took a deep breath and looked again at the Broken Sword floating in mid-air, making a decision: "Let’s go, leave this place."

Luo Shanyou was slightly relieved, worried that Xiang Beifei might be too reckless. Fortunately, this kid, although he likes to venture out alone at times, still has a sense of measure in what he does.

The three turned back along the original path, no matter how unwilling they were now, it was useless, without strength there was no way to forcibly break into this place.

"Alright, alright, next time! Next time, Feifei will definitely snatch it for you, then we’ll charge forward and wipe them out!"

Xiaohei, clutching the Spirit Gathering Book, comforted the Blunt Broken Sword. It had its own consciousness and knew Xiang Beifei and the others were leaving, feeling quite unwilling, rolling furiously, trying to break free from the bounds of the Spirit Gathering Book.

But the Spirit Gathering Book was powerful, and Wufeng had no way besides being furious.

But at this moment, Xiaohei suddenly let out a small exclamation.

"What’s wrong?" Xiang Beifei asked.

Xiaohei’s voice echoed in Xiang Beifei’s mind, "The Well Constellation and Ghost Constellation, they seem to be struggling too, as if they’ve met their kind."

"Their kind? In this Common Valley?"

"Yes, and it seems similar to the last time with the litian spear shard—is it the same?" Xiaohei said uncertainly.

"Are you saying that the Well Constellation and Ghost Constellation are also sealing Ancestral Artifact shards?"

"It’s possible." Xiaohei replied.

Xiang Beifei frowned slightly. Last time his Shen constellation sealed a shard of the litian spear. If it’s the same as the litian spear shard, it means there’s likely another incomplete Ancestral Artifact nearby!

He took the Spirit Gathering Book and carefully sensed the seal of the Well Constellation and Ghost Constellation. Indeed, there was an aura inside, impacting the seal, but the later seals grew stronger, sufficient as Inquiry Dao Realm seals, unless Xiang Beifei agreed, it wouldn’t break out on its own like Erha.

"The aura is over here."

Xiang Beifei turned right, following the guidance of the Spirit Gathering Book, rounded one trench after another, and then stopped at the side of an abyss.

From below this abyss, strange auras faintly rose up.

"There are Ancestral Dao Realm experts below, and it seems to be a late Ancestral Dao Realm expert." Hai Fuyu stood by the abyss and remarked.

"We won’t disturb them."

Xiang Beifei still determined to see what was inside the abyss. He needed to confirm what Ancestral Artifact was there.

The three of them carefully descended into the abyss. Around this abyss, there were also traces of strong Heavenly Dao formations, well-protected and very concealed.

They bypassed these formation guardians and descended about a thousand meters before the abyss suddenly became spacious, with the stones on the walls being special, emitting a faint light that dispelled the darkness.

Xiang Beifei saw clearly what lay in front of him.

It was a large bronze cauldron, about twenty meters tall, and its opening was enormous, akin to a small lake.

Inside this cauldron, a strange vortex swirled, occasionally flashing with golden rays like lightning trying to disperse these vortices.

This great cauldron, ancient and grand, contained a vast aura, emitting terrifying waves, evidently a powerful Ancestral Artifact!

Xiang Beifei’s gaze dropped to the bottom of the cauldron. It originally appeared to be a tripod cauldron, but two of its legs were missing, as if forcibly broken off by something, leaving only a single leg remaining.

Xiang Beifei looked at the Spirit Gathering Book in his hand and suddenly understood where those missing two cauldron legs went!

They were inside his Spirit Gathering Book!

On the only remaining leg of the great cauldron, a golden chain was tightly locked, its other end disappearing into the void.

This chain was familiar to Xiang Beifei, identical to the one from last time at the Bone Mountain Desert Stone Cave that locked the head in the sky.

This was a chain formed by the power of the Heavenly Dao.

"How’s it going with the Gathering Spirit Book? Can we get out of here?" asked Hai Fuyu from the edge of the abyss.

Xiang Beifei took a deep breath as he glanced once more at the broken sword suspended in mid-air, then made up his mind: "Let’s go, leave this place."

Luo Shanyou felt slightly relieved too, as he was worried that Xiang Beifei would be too reckless. Fortunately, despite the boy’s love of venturing alone, he still had a sense of proportion.

The three of them turned to retrace their steps, even now too unwilling as it may be. Without enough strength, they cannot force their way into this place.

"Alright, alright, next time! We’ll snatch it for you next time, and when the time comes, we’ll charge in and destroy them!"

Xiaohei held onto the Spirit Gathering Book and comforted the Blunt Broken Sword, which had its own consciousness as well. It knew that Xiang Beifei and the others were leaving, and was quite unwilling. It was rolling around restlessly, trying to break free from the book’s restraints.

But the Spirit Gathering Book was very powerful, and Wufeng had no choice but to be filled with rage.

However at that moment, Xiaohei suddenly let out a slight exclamation.

"What is it?" Xiang Beifei asked.

Xiaohei’s voice echoed in Xiang Beifei’s mind: "The Well Constellation and Ghost Constellation, they seem to be struggling too, as if they’ve encountered their kind."

"Their kind? Over here in Common Valley?"

"Yes, just like the last time with the litian spear fragments—it seems the same?" Xiaohei said uncertainly.

"Are you saying that the Well Constellation and Ghost Constellation are also sealing Ancestral Artifact fragments?"

"There’s that possibility." Xiaohei said.

Xiang Beifei frowned slightly. Last time, his Shen constellation sealed a fragment of the litian spear, and if these are the same as the litian spear fragments, it suggests that there might also be other incomplete Ancestral Artifacts nearby!

He took the Gathering Spirit Book and carefully felt the seals of the Well Constellation and the Ghost Constellation. Sure enough, there was a strange aura impacting the seal inside, but the further back the seal went, the stronger it became. It couldn’t break free on its own unless Xiang Beifei improved his cultivation further, unlike how Erha escaped before.

The aura is just below here." Xiang Beifei led them as they carefully descended along the side of the abyss. All around the abyss, there were traces of powerful Heavenly Dao formation, ready to protect with great concealment.
