Chapter 190 Lin Chuan's fame resounds throughout Tiannan! Comparable to a late-stage Grand Cult
"Whether you have the ability or not, do you want to give it a try?"
Lin Chuan's gaze sharpened, and he no longer concealed it.
The aura of a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator was released with a roar, and at the same time, his divine sense, which far surpassed that of his peers, enveloped him like a mountain pressing down!
The cultivator surnamed Jia's expression changed drastically!
He felt a terrifying pressure of divine consciousness sweeping over him, making it hard to breathe!
How could this person's spiritual sense be so powerful?
It's even more terrifying than the late-stage Nascent Soul realm!
He swayed and involuntarily took two steps back, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.
"What happened?"
As Lin Chuan displayed his imposing aura, an aged and majestic voice resounded throughout the city.
A green light flashed a few times and arrived in the sky. Then the light disappeared, revealing the figure of a middle-aged man in a green robe.
This man had a thin face, sharp eyes, and a deep, ocean-like aura, making him even stronger than Master Zhong.
Late stage of Nascent Soul.
In the entire Tiannan region, there are only three Nascent Soul stage cultivators.
This person should be Wei Wuyai of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance.
"Fellow Daoist Wei..." Everyone greeted him respectfully.
Wei Wuyai's gaze swept across everyone's faces, finally landing on the bald, burly man.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, tell me what happened."
The bald, burly man took a deep breath and recounted the events leading up to the battle at Huanglong Mountain—Gu Shuangpu was a spy, exposed by Lin Chuan; they used a ruse to lure the Mulan mage into their formation; Lin Chuan single-handedly killed Master Le and the tall, thin mage, Han Li killed Ku Yao, and together they annihilated five Mulan Nascent Soul cultivators;
After Master Lan and Master Zhong arrived, Lin Chuan covered their retreat alone, holding off Master Zhong, which allowed them to escape unscathed.
"It's all thanks to Fellow Daoist Lin," the bald-browed man added at the end. "If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Lin, I'm afraid none of us would have made it back."
After listening, Wei Wuyai turned his gaze to Lin Chuan, sizing him up. "Fellow Daoist Lin, which Divine Master did you face?"
"That person knows the art of splitting one's primordial spirit and the art of shrinking the earth; he must be Master Zhong."
Lin Chuan said calmly.
"What?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Wei Wuyai's eyes. Master Zhong, known as the strongest of the three great masters of Mulan, had actually managed to escape unscathed after Lin Chuan single-handedly intercepted him?
If Wei Wuyai knew that the final result was that Master Zhong was defeated and fled, his expression would probably be even more shocked.
"Whether it is or not, the alliance will soon know." Lin Chuan didn't offer much explanation.
He believed that the Nine Nations Alliance would soon find out that the Mulan people had spies planted in Tiannan, and the Tiannan people also had informants in Mulan.
With such heavy losses, it's impossible for Mulan to keep it a secret.
Wei Wuyai nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
He gave Lin Chuan a deep look.
"This person is destined to advance to the late Nascent Soul stage!"
……
According to the rules, each sect only needs to send one Nascent Soul cultivator to participate in the battle once, and then they can be exempted from subsequent tasks.
Lin Chuan has already made his move once, so there's no need for him to stay on the front lines any longer.
He rested in Tiancheng for one night, and the next day he led the disciples of Huangfeng Valley back to the sect.
Five days later, Tiancheng was in an uproar.
The news came back—in the battle of Huanglong Mountain, the Mage Mulan did indeed lose five Nascent Soul cultivators, including Master Le and Ku Yao.
Even more astonishing is that Master Zhong, the divine master of Mulan, personally gave it extremely high praise:
"Lin Chuan's combat strength is no less than that of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, making him a formidable enemy of Mu Lan."
These words shook the entire cultivation world of Tiannan.
Lin Chuan's name spread throughout the Nine Kingdoms Alliance, the Righteous Path Alliance, the Six Demonic Sects, and the Heavenly Path Alliance overnight.
Everyone is asking, who exactly is this Lin Chuan?
When did such a figure emerge from Yellow Maple Valley?
……
Meanwhile, Lin Chuan had already returned to Huangfeng Valley.
After spending several days with Zi Ling, he entered a quiet room to cultivate in seclusion.
He sat cross-legged on the futon and patted his storage bag—
A beam of azure light flew out of the bag and hovered in mid-air; it was the Void Heaven Cauldron.
This cauldron is flat and round, with two handles and three legs. It is about four feet tall and ten feet in diameter. (The text then abruptly shifts to a seemingly unrelated topic: "Cola Novels, your portable library, contains more than ten thousand volumes. It's not very big.")
The cauldron is carved with various scenes such as insects, fish, beasts, and numerous mountains, rivers, and trees. Although it looks simple and rough, it is lifelike and exudes a wild and ancient atmosphere.
Lin Chuan raised his hand, and a ball of blue flame surged from his palm—the Azure Ice Flame.
The blue icy flames burned fiercely, yet no heat was felt, only a bone-chilling cold. Enveloped in the icy flames, the small cauldron, only a few inches tall, instantly swelled to a massive size of over ten feet!
The paintings of flowers, birds, insects, fish, mountains, and trees on the cauldron wall suddenly became clear and vivid, as if they were alive.
Looking at the enormous object that appeared in the air, Lin Chuan calmly stood up and waved his hand towards the sky.
The giant cauldron slowly descended several feet and stopped a few feet away from his chest.
He examined the cauldron again, his gaze sweeping over its exquisite patterns. Then, without a second thought, he raised his hand—
"Bang!"
A hand pierced through the blue ice flames and landed on the cauldron wall.
A bizarre scene unfolded! The previously raging blue flames suddenly transformed into a tornado that shot skyward!
A dragon's roar echoed in the wind, and a blue dragon over ten feet long emerged from the wind!
A dragon's roar echoed in the wind, and a blue dragon over ten feet long emerged from the wind!
The blue dragon was crystal clear, its scales shimmering with a faint blue light. After shaking its head and wagging its tail, the dragon's head suddenly plunged downwards and disappeared into the lid of the cauldron in a flash!
At the same time, the pale blue surface of the giant cauldron instantly turned into a hazy blue color, as if it had been permeated by the chill of the blue dragon.
The insects, birds and beasts on the cauldron suddenly came to life after a burst of light!
They began to move and move around on the wall of the cauldron, sometimes like birds spreading their wings, sometimes like beasts running, sometimes like fish wagging their tails... as if a small world had been condensed on the wall of the cauldron.
Lin Chuan's hand, which was pressed against the cauldron, was constantly injecting magical power into it.
As spiritual energy was poured in, a buzzing sound gradually arose in the cauldron, growing louder and louder, like the long tolling of an ancient bell, or the roar of a dragon in the heavens.
Under Lin Chuan's watchful gaze, one after another, blue ancient characters emerged from the cauldron and floated straight into the air.
Amidst the chaotic blue light, these ancient characters converged into a strange incantation scripture three zhang high in the air.
Those ancient blue characters floated in the void, emitting a faint blue light, ancient and mysterious.
Lin Chuan looked up. The scripture was short, only a little over a thousand characters.
He studied it carefully and quickly understood its meaning.
The text clearly states at the beginning that two conditions are required to control this cauldron:
First, one must refine the azure ice flames that accompany this cauldron; second, one must cultivate an ancient technique called "Tongbao Jue".
This technique was specifically created to control treasures of the Tongtian Lingbao level.
Furthermore, each of these ancient spiritual treasures possesses its own unique incantation, and the contents of each are distinct.
These techniques are completely incompatible among the various Tongtian Lingbao (a type of magical artifact).
After all, every magical treasure has its own characteristics and power, and it can only be activated by using the appropriate incantation.
In this way, the Tongbao Technique completely distinguishes between Heavenly Treasures and ordinary ancient treasures. Only ancient treasures possessing the Tongbao Technique can be called Heavenly Treasures.
Only after cultivating this technique can one seal the Heavenly Treasure within their body and slowly refine it.
Of course, this kind of cultivation is not like that of ordinary magic treasures, where the mind and the treasure are fused together, but rather it is somewhat similar to that of demonic artifacts.
It's just a temporary way to hide the Heavenly Treasure within one's body and use the Tongbao Technique to influence the treasure's spirituality day and night.
Over time, the spirituality of the Tongtian Lingbao will gradually change, becoming similar to the consciousness of the person who obtains it, thus achieving a state of unity between the person and the artifact. Only then can the power of the Tongtian Lingbao be used to destroy enemies.
However, because the power of the Heavenly Treasure is so great, the cultivator's divine sense can only play a supporting role when using this treasure.
This technique seems simple, consisting of only three ordinary levels.
However, cultivating even the first level of the Tongbao Technique requires a mid-Nascent Soul stage cultivation. The second and third levels, on the other hand, require reaching the late Nascent Soul and Deity Transformation stages.
In this way, even if one can master the first level of the Tongbao Technique, one can only borrow a small portion of the power of the Void Heaven Cauldron.
"The first level requires the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm..."
Lin Chuan's lips curled up slightly.
He is now in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
His cultivation level perfectly meets the requirements for cultivation.
