Wu Yue looked at the small world around her, and at the Qiankun Mirror in the view outside the Cauldron, which was still exerting power.

“Bringing a Great Dao Immortal Artifact out of the human world won’t affect the Five Elements foundation of the human world?”

“No. As long as a Great Dao Immortal Artifact is not destroyed, it will not affect a realm’s Five Elements, even if it goes to another world.”

You have experience in this area, and Old Shen’s theoretical research supports this.

Year thirty-two, age fifty-one.

Extracting trait tag…

Extraction successful!

“Eyes Like a Beacon” (green, rare): At night your eyes will emit a high-powered spotlight. It won’t dazzle you, but it might blind others.

Adjust trait tag?

Yes / No

You replaced “Half-Emperor for a Thousand Ages” with “Formation Master.”

Days passed one by one.

In this place where day and night were indistinguishable, you couldn’t tell how long had gone by.

You only knew your rations had run out.

You counted how many blades of grass remained in the Cauldron Realm.

The nine crows’ daily caws had gone from frantic annoyance to numb routine.

“Looks like we’ll be trapped here for the rest of our lives…”

Someone spoke sadly.

At that moment, the Qiankun Mirror’s voice came from the outside view of the Cauldron.

“We escaped! We escaped! Hahaha! This is the true realm of freedom! There are no restraints here!!”

Long Yang and the others had no idea what was happening.

“What’s the Qiankun Mirror saying?”

You paused for a second, then your mouth twitched.

“He’s probably having an episode.”

The Qiankun Mirror began acting nonsensical.

It ran and leaped in the spatial turbulence, completing one flashy inverted-hook maneuver after another.

Without the Qiankun Mirror stabilizing the surrounding space, the turbulence’s distorting force on matter once again pressed down on the Nine Provinces Cauldron.

Da Chun sweat poured like rain, aided by the other Immortal Artifacts.

The twenty of you didn’t just stand there helplessly, you all pumped your Three Energies into Da Chun, whether it helped or not, at least you were contributing.

“Brother Chen Dong! Are these Immortal Artifacts of yours authentic?! How does each one get weirder than the last?!” 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

When Long Yang and the others first arrived and saw how many Immortal Artifacts you had, they were envious.

After a while, that envy turned into complete disbelief.

Old eunuch, old villain, old mute, Village Simpleton, and the nine crows that screeched all day long until they drove people mad.

The Qiankun Mirror outside was an even heavier problem.

Going insane at a moment like this meant it intended to doom every one of you here.

You had become very calm about all this.

You took out a wine jar and poured twenty large bowls, the liquid sloshing loudly as you filled them.

“Everyone, let us drink this wine and go together to the Yellow Springs!”

Baili Su and the others said in unison.

“Don’t be so generous with your words!! We’re not ready to die yet!!”

At this moment they understood another truth — objects have owners, and owners determine what objects are like.

You shrugged, showing helplessness.

This spatial turbulence was not something you people below Martial King could handle.

What else could you do besides accept fate?

However, a miracle really happened.

The Qiankun Mirror went utterly berserk in the spatial turbulence, even beginning to strike wildly.

It didn’t know what it was hitting, but somehow it managed to tear a fairly large hole!

Da Chun’s eyes and hands were lightning-quick; he drove the Nine Provinces Cauldron forward and rammed in, bringing the Qiankun Mirror crashing in with it.

The Qiankun Mirror kept shouting.

“No!! I don’t want to go in!! That’s a prison!! The outside is vast and full of opportunity!!!”

The scenery around them kept shifting.

A blinding light came from outside the Cauldron view, making you dizzy and stunned.

With a thunderous shake and violent trembling, the Nine Provinces Cauldron struck a rocky mountain with a tremendous crash.

The impact sent the several-hundred-meter-high mountain collapsing by half on the spot.

Rolling rock and debris engulfed the Nine Provinces Cauldron.

Though the outside view was obscured by rubble, you knew the outside was no longer the bizarre spatial turbulence.

“Did we go back to the human world?”

“Hahaha! Great, great! Truly a miracle!!”

“Brother Chen, open an exit to this realm quickly, I can’t wait to step out and take a deep breath of human-world air!”

You glanced at the outside view and saw something the others couldn’t — an alien race aura.

“You’d better not celebrate too early…”

Before you could open the Cauldron Realm’s exit, several explosions sounded outside.

“What’s going on? Who’s attacking us now?”

The blasts cleared the sand and shattered rock off the Nine Provinces Cauldron.

From the outside view, you could see two Dragon-Men with fleshy wings in the sky, each holding a Magic Bullet Cannon, peering toward the Cauldron.

One of them still had half of the Qiankun Mirror in his grasp.

They spoke the Dragon-Man tribe language.

But you could understand them.

“Look! This seems to be another Five Elements root artifact!”

“Haha! You and I, brothers, today lucked into two Five Elements root artifacts. Hand them to the leader, and we’ll surely trade them for decades of lifespan!”

“We’ll be rich, we’ll be rich!”

When Long Yang and the others saw the appearance of those two Dragon-Men, they were stunned.

“What is that thing, is it a Demon Tribe member…”

“Did we really return to the human world?”

“I’m afraid not…”

You didn’t hurry out. Instead, you first released Hu Chacha.

Since Long Yang and the others couldn’t see Hu Chacha without a special method, they only watched you shake the Ten Thousand Souls Golden Banner, then open the Cauldron Realm exit.

Hu Chacha went out.

The two Dragon-Men outside were very surprised to see a fellow tribesman.

“Brother, how did you end up inside this foreign-world Five Elements root artifact? Which camp are you from? Are you corporeal?”

Hu Chacha performed a very proper Dragon-Man tribal greeting.

“Two elders, I actually discovered this artifact and luckily brought it back from another world.”

The two looked skeptical.

“If you brothers don’t mind, I can present this item to you.”

Their expressions shifted to belief.

“It’s just we don’t know if there are more of our kin around. An old saying goes, finders share the reward. If there are many who find it, the rewards won’t be enough to divide.”

The two Dragon-Men in the sky laughed heartily.

“Don’t worry, this area is a ‘smash zone.’ There aren’t even blades of grass here, let alone people!”

Before the two could finish celebrating, you walked out of the Cauldron Realm, hands behind your back, bearing the air of a transcendent master.

“Then I’m relieved. You may enter the banner!”

You raised a hand and slapped the air.

A fiery giant hand directly smashed those two newly Soul Tempering Realm Small Fry on the spot, maiming them completely.

The Ten Thousand Souls Golden Banner shook, and a terrifying—no, sacred—radiance poured out, extracting their souls and imprisoning them inside the banner.

“Old Wan, reform them!”
