[T/N 鼎 refers to cauldron and the author uses chinese idioms which contain the word: 问鼎中原，春秋鼎盛]

Exactly how far the history of China stretched, it was difficult to estis had been lost in the annals of history and had not been recorded or passed down, Ye Fan thought through it clearly before arriving to the decision of the cauldron

During the pre-Qin period, many sacred eshan sacrifice on Mount Tai So, Yellow Emperor and 72 other monarchs of ancient times As Ye Fan saw it, they were too mysterious and based on his experiences it was not difficult to discover that there were endless parts of ancient China’s history that were shrouded in endless mist

There seemed to be a mysterious period that existed within ancient China and although a majority of it had been wasted away in the boundless river of tiested that people in ancient China actually possessed formidable power

The cauldron was thethat period and was naturally viewed highly by Ye Fan It was the most important sacred artifact of ancient China and he naturally decided to choose it as his ‘precious artifact’

With regards to this decision, Ye Fan was very confident This was the crystallization of ancient China and the first ‘artifact’ which would form his foundation, definitely the most suitable choice

The cauldron had many forms but the most popular ones were the three-footed circular cauldrons or four-footed square cauldrons Ye Fan carefully contemplated the type he would mold his divine symbol into

“Circular cauldrons with three foots and two ears appeared earlier…” He gradually came to a decision within his heart

Besides the reason of it appearing earlier, there were other reasons and based on his current status as a cultivator to think, he felt that the three-footed circular cauldron embodied some sort unfathomable substance to it

The three-footed one was more stable than the four-footed one, it was the most stable for of the Dao

Three-footed, stable, firm, fixed, solid!

A circle represented the world, the universe and stars In legends, when Pangu created heaven and earth, he smashed open a circle and shattered a spherical space This was the starting point of the formless mass before creation and the process of evolution The circle represented the origin

“For sure, it’s definitely the three-footed circular cauldron!” After his careful thinking and serious contemplation, Ye Fan finally made this important decision

Wanting to mold the initial form of the divine sy and tiring process that may not bear fruit and was sio

First, one needed to confirm the form of the ‘artifact’ and fir it as a htest bit of imperfection

Ye Fan held the Bodhi seed within his hand and delved into the ean to carve a picture within his e to sian to n within his mind first

After much hard work, the nineteen divine syolden cauldron, dazzling and bright, seely extremely perfect

However, Ye Fan was not satisfied as he felt that soh the form was perfect it seemed to lack direction and charm

“That’s right, it lacks the ears of a cauldron”

Ye Fan began to an to olden cauldron

When this golden cauldron was completed within his mind, Ye Fan immediately felt a natural implicit charm and he felt relatively satisfied as he muttered to hiht, the Dao gives birth to one, one gives birth to to gives birth to three, three give birth to endless living things, endless living things enco, a powerful force of harmony……”

Ye Fan felt olden cauldron was beco more profound within his eyes and finally occupied his entireand natural

“That’s right, this is it!”

Ye Fan had co process and the three-footed cauldron would forever be carved within his in to mold the divine symbols within his sea of bitterness to become a real cauldron

“Piercing through the entire history of China, the most mysterious artifact……” Ye Fan’s heart was filled with expectations for the future
