Chapter 1123: The Earth’s Demolition Cauldron

The world was quiet. The sky was dim and dark. At the end of the yellow sand was a blood-red setting sun that was slowly lowering into the ground.

“It’s over…”

Looking at the thin figure in the distance, Du Jian could not imagine how such terrifying energy could erupt from such a thin and small body.

It was finally over.

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. They looked at Ou Yangming with gratitude and worship in their eyes. It was this young fellow who had saved all their lives.

Du Xie walked over quickly and bowed deeply. “Lord Ou, we’ll never forget your kindness.”

The way he changed the way he addressed Ou Yangming showed that he respected the young fellow very much.

“Senior Du Xie, you don’t have to be so polite. You helped me, so it’s only right for me to help you.” Ou Yangming came back to his senses and smiled, revealing his white teeth.

Du Xie shook his head and said loudly, “You can’t say that. My help to you wasn’t much and was just a piece of cake, but you risked your life to save so many of us.”

Du Jian also walked over and said with gratitude, “Lord Ou, you’re too amazing. You must be a genius in the outside world.”

Ou Yangming said humbly, “I’m not a genius. I’m just an ordinary blacksmith in the outside world.”

At this point, Ou Yangming thought of Old Craftsman, who was still in the Spiritual Realm. He had been in the Great Wide World for so long, and he did not know how the rest were doing.

It seemed that he had to go to other places in the Great Wide World to take a look. Only when he had a firm foothold in this world could he bring Old Craftsman and the others over. It was a pity that he had not been to other places except for the headquarters of the Phoenixes.

“Lord Ou, you’re actually a smithing master?” Du Jian’s eyes lit up, and he turned to look at Du Xie.

Du Xie immediately understood what the gaze meant. He looked at Ou Yangming and said, “Since you’re a smithing master, I have something good here. Come with me to take a look.”

After saying this, Du Xie left. Ou Yangming could only follow behind him helplessly. They came to an empty space, and there was a big black cauldron on the ground. The clan master pointed at the big cauldron and said, “This is a treasure passed down in the Ancient Shamans. I’ll gift it to you, Lord Ou.”

“This is a treasure from your tribe. How can I take it?” Ou Yangming hurriedly waved his hand. As a smithing master, he could tell that the treasure was extraordinary just by looking at it. Although he had saved the Shaman Tribe, he had obtained enough benefits in the Rebirth Cave. He was not willing to accept Du Xie’s other rewards.

“Lord Ou, you don’t have to be so polite.” Du Xie walked over and lifted the big black cauldron with one hand, then he placed it in front of Ou Yangming and said, “This thing is just a heaven-sent object to us. We don’t know how to refine tools or pills, so we could only use it as a defensive magic weapon. It’s too wasteful. Its light won’t be masked only if it’s in your possession.”

Du Xie bowed deeply and said, “Lord Ou, this is a little gift from us. Please accept it.”

Ou Yangming was helpless. “Let me see then. What’s the name of this treasure?”

Du Xie’s face was filled with joy as he answered, “Lord Ou, this treasure is called the Earth’s Demolition Cauldron. It has been passed down in our tribe since ancient times. As for its specific abilities and equivalent rank, we’re not very clear about them.”

“Why is that so?” Ou Yangming was a little puzzled. The Earth’s Demolition Cauldron was the treasure of the Sham Tribe. How could the clan master of the tribe not understand its function?

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Du Xie’s face as he explained, “This treasure has existed in our tribe for a long time but until now, no one has been able to make it recognize its master, so we don’t know its specific rank. Don’t worry, Lord Ou. I am sure that it is a high-level magic weapon.”

“I see.” Ou Yangming’s eyes were filled with curiosity. This treasure was a little special.

“Lord Ou, why don’t you try to make it recognize you as its master?”

Du Jian looked around and suggested.

Du Xie also said, “Yes, Lord Ou, you should try. What if you succeed?”

Ou Yangming was a little tempted. He took 2 steps forward and touched the Earth’s Demolition Cauldron. For some reason, he sensed a very familiar feeling from the cauldron, which gave him the feeling of a child.

“What is it?” Ou Yangming was shocked. He moved his hand away from the Earth’s Demolition Cauldron, and the feeling in his heart disappeared.

“What’s wrong, Lord Ou?” Du Xie also noticed the change in Ou Yangming.

There was a surprised look in Ou Yangming’s eyes. He said, “It’s nothing. When I touched it, I felt that there seemed to be some changes in the cauldron.”

As Ou Yangming said that, he put his hand on the Earth’s Demolition Cauldron again. He touched the ancient patterns on it and this time, he felt that they were connected by blood.

“Why is this so?” Ou Yangming pondered, ‘Isn’t this a treasure of the Shaman Tribe? Why is it so friendly to me? Could it be…’

Other than Xing Tian, there was probably no other explanation?

Ou Yangming could roughly guess the reason. He did not have much interaction with the Shaman Tribe. The only possibility was that he had inherited Xing Tian’s blood essence, which was why he had made contact with the Earth’s Demolition Cauldron.

“Lord Ou, hurry up and try it. Just use a drop of blood and see if it recognizes you as its master,” Du Xie said anxiously.

The Earth’s Demolition Cauldron had been with them for tens of thousands of years without any changes. Now that Ou Yangming appeared, something was different.

This could really be Heaven’s will.

‘Senior Brother’s divination was indeed powerful. This young fella was really the hope of our tribe, and there’s an unbreakable fate between him and the Shamans.’

Ou Yangming took out a dagger from his Long Feather Band and lightly cut his hand. A drop of bright red blood dripped onto the Earth’s Demolition Cauldron.

A black light flashed on the cauldron. Even though it disappeared in a flash, everyone present could see it clearly. Du Xie’s expression was excited as he said, “There’s a change.”

Over the past tens of thousands of years, countless people in their tribe had tried. Even Du Xie and Du Jian had tried, but they were unable to cause any changes to the Earth’s Demolition Cauldron. This had once made Du Xie wonder if the cauldron was really the Shaman Tribe’s treasure.

The change at this moment made them very excited.

After Ou Yangming made the cauldron recognize him as its master, the information about the cauldron immediately appeared in his mind.

[Name: Earth’s Demolition Cauldron]

[Equivalent Rank: Innate Spirit Treasure (Sealed)]

[Effects: During the process of tool and pill refinements, it can greatly increase success rates. It can also raise the quality of items to a certain extent. There are mysterious substances sealed inside, which is very helpful for cultivation.]

“Innate Spirit Treasure?”

Ou Yangming paused at the equivalent rank of the Earth’s Demolition Cauldron. What did an Innate Spirit Treasure mean? The equivalent ranks of tool refinement he was familiar with were Common Tool, Magic Tool, and Magic Weapon. What did Innate Spirit Treasure represent?

Moreover, the effects of the Earth’s Demolition Cauldron also surprised Ou Yangming greatly. This was simply a divine tool for refining tools and pills.

After a while, Ou Yangming turned around. He saw Du Xie and Du Jian’s excited eyes. Du Xie asked, “Lord Ou, how was it?”

“It’s a success.”

Ou Yangming nodded.

“Lord Ou, you’re truly a genius. You even subdued the Earth’s Demolition Cauldron. I thought this thing would never recognize its master.” Du Jian also looked at Ou Yangming excitedly.

Ou Yangming raised his head and looked at the 2 of them. He asked, “Senior Du Xie, do you know what an Innate Spirit Treasure is?”

‘An Innate Spirit Treasure!’

Du Xie was stunned for a moment, then he seemed to have thought of something. He looked at the Earth’s Demolition Cauldron, and his eyes were filled with shock as he asked, “Lord Ou, could this cauldron be an Innate Spirit Treasure?”

As Du Xie spoke, he looked around. When he saw that there were only the 3 of them around, he Xie heaved a sigh of relief.

Ou Yangming nodded and said, “Yes, after this Earth’s Demolition Cauldron recognized its master, it sent me some information. Among them, there’s its equivalent rank, but I don’t know much about it.”

Du Xie carefully looked around and cast a soundproof barrier.

After doing all this, Du Xie slowly explained, “An Innate Spirit Treasure is a legendary equivalent rank. These treasures were only heard of during ancient times. I only know some from our tribe’s books. Even in ancient times, they were very rare.”

Ou Yangming was also shocked. The ancient times should be the era when Xing Tian and the others existed in the Great Wide World. At that time, there were many mighty figures and powerhouses, but the Earth’s Demolition Cauldron was actually so precious.

Du Xie continued, “In the ancient times, the ranks of the magic treasures were divided into magic tools, magic weapons, and Acquired Taoist Tools. Above those are the Innate Spirit Treasures. Unfortunately, the disaster in ancient times was too frightening. Countless inherited spirit treasures disappeared, and so did those mighty figures. Otherwise, how could the Dragons and the Phoenixes have the chance to rule the Great Wide World? During ancient times, the Dragons and the Phoenixes didn’t have much status. Those mighty figures liked to use them as their mounts the most.”

Ou Yangming was taken aback. Ever since he met Xing Tian’s remnant soul, he had felt that this world could not be so simple. After hearing what Du Xie said, he confirmed his guess. The Dragons and the Phoenixes, which had dominated the Great Wide World and were feared by everyone, were just mounts in ancient times?

If Lil’ Red knew what Du Xie had said, he would probably be so angry that he would stomp his feet. He absolutely would not accept this fact.

“Senior, can you give me a detailed explanation of the legends of ancient times? Also, what exactly was that calamity? Why did it cause such a huge change in the Great Wide World?” Ou Yangming was curious.

Du Xie’s expression was solemn as he said in a deep voice, “The ancient era is too far away. I only know a little about it from the scattered ancient books. I don’t know if they’re true or not.”

“Senior, feel free to tell me,” Ou Yangming said.

“The ancient times contain 2 meanings. One is the pre-ancient times, and the other is the post-ancient times. We’re talking about the pre-ancient times. At that time, the Great Wide World had numerous powerhouses where various heavenly emperors and great emperors dominated. The Shamans were a top-grade race at that time. Among our tribe, the most powerful figures were the 12 Ancestral Shamans. Their strengths were unfathomable, and there were also formidable Great Shamans such as Kuafu, Hou Yi, and Xing Tian… The Great Shamans were of the younger generation, but their strengths were on par with that of Ancestral Shamans. That was when we were at our peak.”

‘Xing Tian!’ Ou Yangming’s head was buzzing.

Hearing this name, he finally understood why he could see that illusory figure in the Shaman Tribe’s secret realm. It turned out that he was the top-notch powerhouse of the tribe in ancient times.
