Chapter 833: Opening

This granddaddy here will help buy you some time! Kou Chongxues Fire Element Fate Dipper Clone instructed Shang Xia.

Turning serious, Shang Xia thought of something. Buying me some time? Are you going to

The clone glanced at the edge of the forbidden region and chuckled under his breath. The Yuanchen Sect isnt the only ones here

Shang Xia looked at the opening of the cauldron while standing beside it and felt as though he was staring at an endless abyss. However, he felt a strange power pulling him in and it seemed to be hurrying him to leap in.

Shifting his gaze away, he looked at the back of the clone standing nearby.

Kou Chongxues clone seemed to be making some sort of preparation, and Shang Xia could feel the dipper qi inside the clone expanding greatly. It reached a point that passed the limit of what a Fate Dipper Clone should be able to control.

Clearly, Kou Chongxue left behind a trick or two before leaving in case something were to appen.

Patriarch, what if no one, including me, managed to make our way over? What were you planning to do then? Shang Xia asked all of a sudden.

WIthout turning to look at Shang Xia, the clone seemed to be straining as he replied, Well, youre about to see!

Nodding slightly, Shang Xia felt a lot more reassured and he leaped into the opening of the cauldron.

Crash Crash. The sound of waves crashing about echoed in Shang Xias ears.

When he opened his eyes to look around him, he discovered himself freefalling and tumbling in all directions. He felt a little dazed as he couldnt determine where he was facing at the moment.

However, he quickly snapped back to reality. He circulated his Five Element Art and released his divine will. The next instant, he learned about everything around him.

World origin seemed to reach a state where it was extremely viscous. It was much thicker than dense world origin that had condensed into a mist-like consistency, and Shang Xia felt as though he was submerged in a sea No, a well of world origin.

When he raised his head, he saw a tiny spot of light from the opening of the cauldron that made it look like the mouth of a well.

Splish splash [1]

The sound of rushing water around him grew in intensity and the sounds became a lot clearer. It was then that Shang Xia realized the world origin around him seemed to be resonating with his Five Element Art. The circulation of energy within his body became a lot smoother, and so did the flow of world origin around him.

In just a split second or two, Shang XIa felt almost all the energy he expended during the journey recovering.

Shang Xia recalled the reminder he got from the clone earlier that the way to control the cauldron was carved into its walls. However, no matter how he observed the void around him, he couldnt determine where the walls were.

Maybe it had something to do with his instincts, or perhaps it might be related to his Five Element Art, but along with the gushing of world origin around him, splashes could be heard and five colored light appeared all around him. They eventually formed rows of words, and they turned out to be the manual for controlling the Origin Holy Artifact.

Huh? Am I just supposed to push all the liquid-like world origin gathered in here out? Shang Xia was bewildered, but that was exactly what was written. That was the first step he had to take in order to control the cauldron.

According to the words that formed, the Origin Holy Artifact is connected to the source of world origin for the world. The connection it had was far more complicated than the connection the various Holy Lands and secret regions had with the world. The Stellar Cauldron could directly draw on the world origin of the world unlike the other powers!

In other words, if the person using the Stellar Cauldron was strong enough, they would be able to directly draw on the power of the world! Even though it was a tiny bit of the power of the world, he would possess horrifying strength!

Shang Xia immediately thought about the strength of the Sixth Order existences from the 4 Elysiums, and it was the first time he gained a crude, but nonetheless official, introduction to their strength.

So as long as I circulate my Five Element Art, I can cause a resonance with the liquid world origin around The stronger the resonance, the more I will be able to use the Origin Holy Artifact as a medium to borrow on the power of world origin from the sea of world origin in the Azure Ascension World The more I do that, the more world origin will pour out from the Stellar Cauldron! Shang Xia concluded as he carefully read through the words that formed. After testing it out slightly, he somewhat understood what he should do.

He also realized why Kou Chongxue chose him to take on the task.

After entering the Five Element Realm, Shang Xias Five Element Dipper Qi was extremely useful when it came to controlling world origin. His control over it even reached a point where Kou Chongxue could only gasp in amazement when he observed what Shang Xia could do.

It was especially so when he realized Shang Xia had only broken through recently. As he grew stronger and continued to refine his rank five arts, his control over world origin would only grow stronger. When his Five Element Art reached the large completion stage, he would possess a terrifying control over world origin.

From a certain point of view, Shang Xia himself also had supreme confidence if he was only talking about controlling world origin.

Along with the restoration of his inner qi, Shang Xia decided to place more of his attention on circulating his Five Element Art.

Originally, the world origin liquid that was merely sloshing around and crashing occasionally started to form a massive vortex as he circulated his Five Element Art. The vortex grew larger and larger, and the amount of world origin that was pulled into it increased proportionally.

When ordinary cultivators tried to control the Stellar Cauldron, they wouldnt be able to achieve resonance with their inner qi alone. As such, the effects would be less than satisfactory.

Even existences like Kou Chongxue, who reached the very peak of the Martial Dipper Realm, were barely able to achieve some sort of harmony with the world origin contained in the Stellar Cauldron and work with a part of it. Kou Chongxue might have learned Shang Xias theory of the five elements and borrowed its principles when driving the Stellar Cauldron, but he was merely using someone elses idea at the end of the day. His cultivation path had already been decided a long time ago, and he couldnt achieve what Shang Xia could.

To the current Shang Xia, the vast immensity of the five elements had already reached the all-encompassing realm. Even if he only knew a little bit about their capabilities, it didnt mean that the effects wouldnt apply.

Also, when Shang Xia first entered the Five Element Realm, he used 10 fated dipper essences as his foundation. Even though they werent complete fate dippers, the sheer quantity of types of energy he could control was double what Kou Chongxue could do! Compared to those who just entered the Martial Dipper Realm, Shang Xia could be said to be 10 times better!

Even though his Five Element Art wasnt complete yet and he could only change the yin yang alignment of his dipper qi, when he improved further, he would be able to freely switch between the types of dipper qi! Eventually

Anyway, that would only happen in the future. As the amount of world origin around him continued to increase due to their resonance with his Five Element Art, a frightening amount started to churn and be led about by his actions.

Throughout the process, Shang Xia could faintly feel his fate dipper essences reaching a greater degree of fusion in his body.

As the rampaging world origin liquid caused a loud gush to echo through the insides of the Starry Cauldron, the commotion could also be heard from the outside. It was as though the Origin Holy Artifact was trembling in excitement.

Kou Chongxues Fire Element Fate Dipper Clone, who had his back to the cauldron, revealed a faint smile when he discovered the change behind him.

The instant it happened, the members of the Northern Sea Mystic Sect who were making their way towards the Ruined Observatory stopped abruptly.

Lu Wuzi took out his Halo Mirror again, and the scene it depicted changed rapidly. The scene in the forbidden region and its surroundings appeared in it. 2 figures were revealed, but they seemed to have noticed that someone was spying on them. They turned around abruptly and sent 2 frosty rays into the void. The image in the mirror blurred the next second and nothing else could be seen.

Martial Uncle? Yun Lingzi asked carefully at the side.

Lu Wuzi revealed an expression of discomfort, but after a moment of silence, he muttered, Well continue to the Star Observatory!
