Chapter 57 - Flying Down Three Thousand Feet, Suspected to Be the Milky Way Falling into the Nine Heavens
Chapter 57: Flying Down Three Thousand Feet, Suspected to Be the Milky Way Falling into the Nine Heavens
Gu Xi announced to the outside world that he was going into closed-door cultivation to prepare for the Dao Conference in the Capital in the next few days. The people of the Supreme Purity Sect naturally did not dare to disturb him.
When night fell, no one noticed that the black shadow was fleeting. It was like a ghost, almost impossible to catch its tracks. Using the cover of the night, it arrived at the top of the mountain in the southwest direction of the Capital.
This place was uninhabited. It could be said to be desolate.
This person was Gu Xi. He had casually set up a few formations to prevent his aura from leaking out and attracting attention.
Gu Xi summoned the cauldron that he had exchanged with the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce. Under the cold moonlight, even the copper rust outside the cauldron was stained with an unfathomable light. As it reflected in his eyes, it seemed even more profound.
“What secret do you have?”
When he was in the Chamber of Commerce earlier, because of the crisis brought by the cauldron, Gu Xi was placed in a time reversal. This caused the system to turn on the emergency mode and seal it up, so he didn’t have the time to check it out.
In addition to the appearance of Baizhi, Mei Qianmeng, and the others, Gu Xi did not want to be distracted. Now, there was finally no one to disturb him.
There was another worry, which was that they had already made such a big fuss earlier. Gu Xi was afraid that they would see through his identity or that they would attract the attention of some people. That was why he chose this time and place, plus the layers of formations.
Even if the commotion was big, he still had time to clean up the mess.
[The System has detected the sealed item. Do you want to remove the seal?]
“Yes.”
Gu Xi chose ‘yes’ without hesitation. He was already mentally prepared.
The ancient aura appeared once again. In an instant, the stars twinkled as if they had been stimulated by something. One after another, they fell from the night sky. The meteors streaked across the sky one after another, dazzling and bright.
They fell towards the cauldron in Gu Xi’s hand!
There was no external force to activate it. It just floated in the air, absorbing the power of the sun, moon, and stars.
Gu Xi was shocked by the scene in front of him. He did not know if it was his imagination, but the moonlight suddenly became bright. It was as if something was falling with the stars. It was as if the Milky Way was flowing in the sky, giving off a mysterious light.
It flew down three thousand feet. It was suspected that the Milky Way had fallen into the Nine Heavens.
This appeared in Gu XI’s mind.
The ordinary cauldron had been baptized by the stars and was stained with silver color. Some of the copper rust seemed to have fallen off. Gu Xi took a few glances and then looked away.
The last time his soul was pulled into an unknown space-time, it was because he had looked at the cauldron for too long. Gu Xi guessed that the great danger that Baizhi had mentioned might be related to this.
[The seal has been lifted. Considering the uniqueness of this item, the System has suppressed the uncontrollable power for the host.]
[Testing in progress.]
[The System has detected ‘???’. It is ‘The Child and Mother Cauldron’.]
[98,758 damage points have been detected. The value after repair is ‘???’]
Looking at the series of question marks, even Gu Xi himself was dumbfounded. Ever since he obtained the system, this was the first time such a situation had occurred.
What surprised him the most was that there were simply too many damage points on this cauldron. It was the rarest of all the objects he had examined.
It must be known that the cauldron was damaged so badly, and yet it was still so powerful that it could affect him. Even the system had helped him. This showed how special the cauldron was.
“System, you actually have something that can’t be detected?”
[The host’s cultivation level is not high enough, so the System can’t detect it.]
...
After a long time, it turned out that the problem was with him. Gu Xi was deep in thought. It seemed that it was as he had guessed. The origin of this cauldron was extremely profound. It was not that the system could not detect it, but that his cultivation level was too low.
The owner of this cauldron must be very powerful, and it was very likely that he was a supreme-being expert! He had already reached the Void-shattering stage, which was why such a phenomenon had occurred.
The image of that man once again appeared in Gu Xi’s mind. No wonder, after all, he was able to fight against several destructive forces alone. This was enough to prove his strength. He was a world-class expert! He was unrivaled.
Even the lightning of Heavenly Punishment could do nothing to him!
Gu Xi could not help but feel admiration for him. He did not know when he would be able to reach that stage. Looking at the System’s data, he suddenly felt a little worried.
“With so much damage, I don’t know when I will be able to repair it successfully.”
However, it was only for a moment of frustration. Gu Xi was never someone who was easily defeated by difficulties. Even though it was not easy to repair this cauldron, with the magic treasure in his hands and the help of the system, it was only a matter of time before his strength increased.
“Mother and Child Cauldron. It seems like there are two of these cauldrons. I just don’t know if the one in my hands is the Mother Cauldron or the Child Cauldron.”
Gu Xi guessed that he should be holding the Mother Cauldron. After all, the threat it posed to him was so great. Generally speaking, the Mother Cauldron was the stronger one of the two cauldrons. So, the Child Cauldron should still be with that woman.
“If there’s a chance, I hope I can get my hands on the Child Cauldron. After all, it’s the Mother and Child Cauldron. This way, I might be able to unravel the secret within and speed up the repair of this cauldron.”
Gu Xi looked up at the top of his head. Everything had returned to normal. The magnificent scene just now was like a flash in the pan. It was all just an illusion.
The cauldron in his hand had returned to its normal appearance. Gu Xi could feel that no matter how long he looked at it this time, he did not feel dizzy. It must be because of the system.
Gu Xi also noticed that the system had used damage values instead of flaws this time. He did not know why, but it might be because this cauldron was too special, so it was different from the past.
If it was an ordinary magic treasure, with such a large damage value, there would not even be any residue left. However, the fact that this cauldron could last for so long and still possess such great power made Gu Xi extremely emotional.
He guessed that the cauldron might have been from ancient times, or perhaps even further back in time.
