After this incident, Fang Chen was even more curious about the head in the cauldron.
Combining all the signs, the ancient expert in the cauldron should be the man in the black robe on the battlefield. He was a sword cultivator.
For some reason, he took him into the void and went to the so-called Sword Cultivator's Paradise.
It allowed him to experience in advance how profound a sword genius' understanding of sword principles was.
Fang Chen's heart skipped a beat.
In the past, he thought that with the golden heart, his talent in sword principles was already very heaven-defying.
However, after fighting with that sword cultivator, Fang Chen felt very bitter.
The other party could still reach such a level in sword principles without the golden heart, and he was not as good as the other party even with the golden heart.
"This is the gap between us."
Fang Chen deeply realized the gap between him and those sword cultivators in the Sword Cultivator's Paradise.
Ancestor Bronze also fell into silence, as if thinking about the Sword Cultivator's Paradise that Fang Chen mentioned.
Fang Chen also slowly came out of the cauldron.
Seeing Fang Chen come out, the old faker and Little Mouse exclaimed and sighed in relief.
"Boss, are you okay?" Little Mouse asked.
Fang Chen shook his head. His expression was still blank. His mind was still thinking about the Astral Wanderer.
Fang Chen turned his head and looked at the three-legged, two-eared cauldron. He was very shocked.
How powerful was the expert in the cauldron when he was alive? How could he take him into the void after death?
Although Fang Chen had never heard of anyone who could enter the void, he vaguely learned from some books that in ancient times, some experts could fly and burrow into the ground. They were omnipotent.
Some of the more powerful Almighties were even able to enter the void spiritually.
And this person, after so many years, only had his head left, could still take him into the void.
How powerful was he when he was alive?
Could he have surpassed the Mystic King Realm?
Fang Chen did not dare to imagine or believe it.
Because in the history of the Ancient Sword Continent, the top expert was only at the Mystic King Realm.
Moreover, because the laws of the Ancient Sword Continent were incomplete, it was very difficult to cultivate to the Mystic King Realm with one's own efforts. It was almost impossible.
Therefore, if it was an expert who surpassed the Mystic King Realm, then he must be from the outside world.
However, this person had the obvious aura of the Ancient Sword Continent, and was definitely not from the outside world.
"He should be a Mystic King Realm expert."
Fang Chen had never seen a Mystic King Realm expert, so he didn't know how powerful a Mystic King Realm expert was.
"Senior, thank you."
No matter what, the Sword Dao powerhouse in the cauldron did not have any killing intent towards him. On the contrary, he helped him to see a true Sword Dao genius, a holy land for sword cultivators.
Therefore, Fang Chen cupped his hands and thanked the mighty figure in the cauldron.
As if it had heard Fang Chen's words, the head in the cauldron actually started to tremble.
An inaudible voice came out of the cauldron
Fang Chen's eyes flickered as he stared at the three-legged, two-eared cauldron. He tried his best to listen to the mighty figure's words.
But in the end, he sighed. The Mystic King of Ancient Sword had been dead for a long time. It was already very impressive that he could leave behind a bit of consciousness.
Now, after taking him on a spiritual tour, the remnant consciousness had completely dissipated.
However, Fang Chen did not know what this person's name was.
Thinking about it, such an expert would be considered a top expert even in ancient times.
Thinking of this, Fang Chen could not help but sigh. Could it be that the end of all cultivators was like this?
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. No matter how heaven-defying one was, they would eventually turn into dust.
This Sword Dao expert was at least a Mystic King Realm expert when he was alive. He was definitely one of the top experts in the Ancient Sword Continent.
But in the end?
Many years later, not only did he die, but even his name disappeared in the dust of history as time passed.
Such an expert had died quietly in the end. Even his name was not known to the outside world. It was sad.
However, Fang Chen only sighed.
Because the current him was still very far away from the Mystic King Realm.
Therefore, he was powerless to change anything.
"Who in the world can be immortal?"
Suddenly, Ancestor Bronze, who was inside the python sword, sighed.
Even a Mystic King Realm expert had a lifespan. Once they exceeded their limit and were unable to break through to a higher level, their blood would completely dry up and they would die.
If one wanted to transcend the world and jump out of the five elements, one had to go to the outer realm. Only by reaching the true immortal realm could one be considered truly immortal.
For countless years, all martial artists had been pursuing an immortal body.
However, how many could truly be immortal?
Ancestor Bronze was a top expert ten thousand years ago. When he was alive, his cultivation had also reached the Mystic King Realm.
However, in the end, he was killed by a villain before he reached his limit and died with hatred.
"Ancestor, I will definitely resurrect you," Fang Chen said in a deep voice.
"That's enough," Ancestor Bronze said.
He was a Mystic King Realm expert when he was alive. It was very difficult to resurrect him unless Fang Chen could reach the Mystic King Realm.
However, the Mystic King Realm was not that easy to reach.
On the Ancient Sword Continent, among the millions of cultivators, there were at most one or two who could reach the Mystic King Realm.
One could imagine how difficult it was to reach the Mystic King Realm.
In the history of the Ancient Sword Continent, many True Martial Realm experts were stuck at the bottleneck their entire lives. When the time came, they were still unable to reach the Mystic King Realm.
"Definitely," Fang Chen said in a deep voice.
Just as Fang Chen was speaking, the three-legged, two-eared cauldron's lid suddenly closed. Then, the cauldron's surroundings were filled with a dusky aura.
Then, the cauldron actually charged into Fang Chen's body through an unimaginable method and sat in Fang Chen's dantian.
"This …"
Fang Chen was shocked.
Why did the cauldron enter his dantian?
"It wants you to take it to that place," Ancestor Bronze said.
The head in the cauldron had just spoken in the Primordial Language. Fang Chen did not understand, but Ancestor Bronze understood a little and explained.
"I see."
Fang Chen nodded and looked at the shrunken cauldron.
At this time, the three-legged, two-eared cauldron had shrunk to the size of a thumb.
On the cauldron, the complicated patterns on the cauldron were constantly rotating, as if they were protecting the cauldron.
Just as Fang Chen was observing the cauldron, he suddenly realized that the Main Hall of Yangtianmen, which had been hidden in his dantian, suddenly appeared and was approaching the cauldron.
Crash!
The patterns on the Main Hall of Yangtianmen were instantly activated, and a majestic aura filled the entire dantian.
The Main Hall of Yangtianmen itself was a powerful talisman. After it was activated, its power was very strong. It approached the cauldron and tried to destroy it.
A trembling sound came from the cauldron. Then, the cauldron's lid opened, and a majestic aura instantly appeared and swallowed the Main Hall of Yangtianmen.
The Main Hall of Yangtianmen did not even have a chance to resist before it was sucked into the cauldron.
Then, the cauldron's lid closed, and the cauldron shook.
After a while, the cauldron regained its calm, and a faint aura was emitted.
Fang Chen was shocked. The cauldron and the Main Hall of Yangtianmen were actually fighting for territory.
Obviously, the Main Hall of Yangtianmen was no match for the cauldron.
The cauldron was nurtured by a Mysterious King Realm cultivator when he was alive. Its power was not something the Main Hall of Yangtianmen could compare to.
"It actually swallowed the Main Hall of Yangtianmen," Fang Chen said to himself.
Fang Chen did not say anything about this. The Main Hall of Yangtianmen was stationed in his dantian, and it had been useless.
It was also very difficult to activate the talisman.
He did not know that it would be swallowed by the cauldron this time.
"Senior, you took me on a spiritual journey. I am unable to repay such a great kindness. I will work hard and take you to heaven." Fang Chen swore to himself.
Suddenly, a majestic aura descended from the sky. Fang Chen felt that he had formed a karmic connection with the head in the cauldron.
When the cauldron was sucked into Fang Chen's body, the strange aura on the mountain disappeared instantly.
Little Mouse and the old faker looked at Fang Chen in surprise and asked, "Boss, are you alright?"
Fang Chen shook his head, indicating that he was fine.
"Where's the cauldron?" Little Mouse asked curiously.
"Yes, that cauldron is too strange. It actually sucked you into it, but it suddenly disappeared," the old faker said.
Fang Chen pointed to his dantian and said, "It has already entered my dantian."
"What?" the old faker and Little Mouse cried out involuntarily.
"Boss, what's in the cauldron?" Little Mouse asked curiously.
"The head of another powerful swordsman," Fang Chen said simply.
Fang Chen did not hide anything from Little Mouse and the old faker. He told them everything about his spiritual journey.
After hearing this, the two of them also cried out in surprise.
"There's actually such a place in the world. It's really amazing," Little Mouse exclaimed.
"The powerful figure in the cauldron is really powerful. After ten thousand years, he can still take people on a spiritual journey." The old faker was full of admiration for the powerful figure in the cauldron.
"Well, it's done here. Let's go."
Fang Chen vaguely felt that the reason why he could be taken on a spiritual journey by the powerful figure in the cauldron this time had something to do with the golden heart.
However, he did not know what the relationship was.
In short, there were many doubts about this matter.
First, why did the Five Elements Academy not discover this mountain for so many years, but Little Mouse discovered it?
Second, why did he see the past of the powerful figure in the cauldron when he set foot on the mountain?
Third, who on earth was the enemy in that battle? Why were the powerful figures in the Real Martial Arts Realm cannon fodder?
Fourth, and the most important point, why was he sucked into the cauldron, and the head in the cauldron took him on a spiritual journey?
With these four doubts, Fang Chen returned to the Sword-hidden Peak.
At this time, the sky had gradually brightened.
In the Five Elements Academy, many students were already doing morning exercises.
