Chapter 354: Chapter 191: The 9 Great Origin Achievements, Meeting an Old Acquaintance
[Analyzing...]
[Analysis Complete]
[Marvel[Celestial Observation Cauldron]Fragment. Split into nine pieces, it connects to the world’s ley lines and possesses the ability to find and suppress a planet’s consciousness.]
[The complete Celestial Observation Cauldron can contain Cosmic Spiritual Material and make it one’s own. It can also seal the starry sky and shatter its barrier.]
[After refining, it can accumulate energy for the Book of Space-Time and activate new functions.]
Wang Xiao’s eyes shifted slightly as he read the description that popped up before him.
A Marvel...
This was on the same level as the [Heart of the Starry Sky] he had seen back in the Cultivation Immortality Realm.
The planet’s consciousness in the Cultivation Immortality Realm had only developed its own ego after being influenced by the [Heart of the Starry Sky].
It even created the Invincible Road and did all sorts of unbelievable things.
The value of this Marvel was truly extraordinary.
It held great appeal even for Tier Eight Life forms, and perhaps even Tier Nine Life forms.
He hadn’t expected a Marvel to exist in this world as well.
No wonder Yu, the first leader of the Human Race, was able to protect his people with the Celestial Observation Cauldron.
He even drove the Ancient Divine-Demon Races beyond the borders of Heaven and Earth!
However, the Marvel was now split into nine pieces, scattered across the Nine Provinces.
The Celestial Observation Cauldron in Gongsun Yan’s hands was merely one of those pieces.
’The Celestial Observation Cauldron has quite a few functions. To think it can find and suppress a planet’s consciousness.’
Wang Xiao thought as he looked at the information that had appeared.
It was important to understand that to refine a planet’s consciousness and become a Tier Seven Life form, one had to use an Origin Dao Fruit as a catalyst to fuse their Inner World and Purple Mansion, evolving them into an internal Grotto Heaven.
Then, they had to merge this Grotto Heaven with Heaven and Earth to find the planet’s consciousness and refine it.
However, a planet’s consciousness was formless and intangible, yet omnipresent.
Finding it required both fortuitous opportunity and time.
Some might find it in an instant, while others might search for millennia without a trace.
Furthermore, refining a planet’s consciousness carried the high risk of being assimilated by it.
Wang Xiao hadn’t expected the Celestial Observation Cauldron to be capable of both finding and suppressing a planet’s consciousness.
In other words, with the Celestial Observation Cauldron, one only needed to open an internal Grotto Heaven.
Ascending to become a Tier Seven Life form would then be a sure thing.
This ability alone was enough to earn it the title of a Marvel!
’What’s more, the complete Celestial Observation Cauldron can contain Cosmic Spiritual Material, make it one’s own, seal the starry sky, and shatter its barrier.’
Wang Xiao’s eyes shifted.
He knew from Zhao Yin’s memories that Cosmic Spiritual Material was a special type of energy that existed within the Cosmos.
A Tier Seven cultivator needed the help of this Cosmic Spiritual Material to advance to Tier Eight.
However, Wang Xiao wasn’t clear on the specific process.
As for sealing the starry sky and shattering its barrier, that was easier to understand.
It most likely meant that one could use the Celestial Observation Cauldron to travel to other star systems!
’This Marvel’s uses are even greater than I imagined. It’s a pity that the Human Race only possesses two of the fragments, while the rest are held by Divine-Demon Descendants like Siming Kang.’
Wang Xiao’s thoughts stirred.
He looked at the Celestial Observation Cauldron that Gongsun Yan had revealed, but he made no move.
The latter had clearly shown it to him on purpose, most likely to test him.
However, although Wang Xiao was very curious about the Celestial Observation Cauldron, he wouldn’t just brazenly try to snatch it.
For one, he didn’t want to become enemies with the Human Ancestral Land.
For another, since Gongsun Yan dared to reveal the Celestial Observation Cauldron right in front of him, he surely had countermeasures in place.
He might not necessarily succeed in taking it.
Otherwise, the Celestial Observation Cauldron in the Human Ancestral Land would have been stolen long ago.
It wouldn’t have survived until now.
Seeing that Wang Xiao remained unmoved, a flicker passed through Gongsun Yan’s eyes. He put away the Celestial Observation Cauldron and said,
"Fellow Daoist Wang, that arrow just now was exquisite and contained boundless Dao Charm. I fear it was condensed from no fewer than five Unparalleled Divine Techniques. Looking at you reminds me of Emperor Yu from ages past."
"He, too, single-handedly drove back the Divine-Demon forces, securing a place for our Human Race to live and prosper."
"It is a pity that we, his descendants, have been a disappointment. We were eventually exploited by the Divine Race and gradually enslaved by them!"
Wang Xiao’s tone was calm. "The Human Race is weak today not because its descendants are a disappointment, but because the entire race has taken the wrong path!"
"The wrong path?!" Gongsun Yan’s brow twitched.
Wang Xiao said faintly,
"Elder Gongsun, what do you think the Human Race has relied on to survive to this day?"
Gongsun Yan replied,
"Naturally, it is because successive generations of human predecessors blazed a trail for our race. And the Divine Race needed to use us to fight against the Yao Race, which is controlled by the Demon Race. This is what allowed the Human Race a chance to breathe until today!"
Wang Xiao shook his head.
"Those are certainly factors, but they are not the main reason. I believe the most important reason the Human Race has survived to this day can be summed up in three words."
"Passing the torch!"
After a pause, he continued, "The previous generation passes its will, Spirit, knowledge, and Cultivation Techniques to the next. This has been done for generations, and it is what has brought the Human Race to where it is today."
"However, as I have traveled, I have discovered that the path of the Human Race has not grown wider, but has instead become more and more difficult to walk."
"Nowadays, with every realm the Human Race advances, the difficulty and danger multiply. The resources required are immeasurable. Even opening the most basic Life Spring requires the aid of a Spring-Opening Pill. This undoubtedly cuts off the path of advancement for countless common people!"
"Even though conditions are already so difficult, the various Holy Land Sects still jealously guard their own techniques. The measures they take to protect their internal Cultivation Techniques are incredibly strict."
"Under such conditions, do you truly believe the Human Race can stand against the Divine Race?!"
