Chapter 826: Ninesuns Cauldron Transformation (1/2)

Lu Yin did not know if he should be happy or not. The battle between Progenitors had not caused any changes in the Astral River’s energy, as otherwise, the Innerverse and Outerverse would have been reconnected.

He took a deep breath. Forget it. That war was unrelated to Lu Yin, and for the time being, he needed to take advantage of this time when the Daosource Sect’s ruins were practically empty to comprehend the Nine Cauldrons’ battle technique.

After processing all this new information, he sat down cross-legged and emptied his mind. After half an hour, he began reciting the Stonewall Scriptures.

The moment he started reciting the Stonewall Scriptures, the cauldron trembled, and Lu Yin was instantly delighted. His attempt was going well, and the Stonewall Scriptures could indeed help him comprehend the Nine Cauldrons’ battle technique, which was quite strange.

The legends claimed that the Nine Cauldrons’ battle techniques would be invincible when combined into a single technique. Lu Yin was eager to discover just how impressive this technique truly was.

Three-footed cauldron that towers above the skies!

…

Lu Yin recited the Stonewall Scriptures, and he didn’t even realize that his consciousness had drifted away. Or more accurately, his awareness was no longer entirely his own. He felt as though he had become a temporal meteor streaking across the ages that had crossed the river of time. He eventually arrived in a world from an unknown era of the past.

He no longer knew who he was. He had no memories, emotions, or consciousness. He had nothing. He was the sky and earth, and the sky and earth were him.

A fuzzy figure appeared, dressed in ragged clothing and looking like a savage person. He held a filthy clump of soil in his hand that he was squeezing into some strange shape. After some time passed, he managed to form a strange-looking item from the dirt with an elongated shape and a sunken section on its top. The savage then broke off a twig and placed it in the sunken area. It looked as though he wanted to light the twig on fire, but the dirt object that he had formed easily tipped over.

The savage scratched his head and then split the elongated object into two sections. He once again tried to stabilize it, but it still fell over easily. Finally, the savage person became a bit smarter, and he reformed the elongated item with three legs supporting the section with the slight depression. With three legs, the object no longer tipped over, and the savage was clearly happy. He lit the twig and burned something.

An unknown amount of time passed, but time was meaningless to a temporal meteor.

The mud structure that had been molded out of a clump of dirt by the savage had become an ugly, three-footed vessel containing a burning fire. After passing through unknown experiences, the vessel became harder. It had gained a form that would not tip over, and it also ended up eventually being used as a weapon by the savage. It was able to flatten an area of the universe when it was smashed down.

That three-footed vessel passed through an unknown amount of time, and it eventually gained a name: cauldron.

As time passed by, an indescribably gloomy pair of eyes shrouded the sky. This terrifying pair of eyes could not even be directly looked at. Even if Lu Yin had turned into a streak of time, he still felt instinctively petrified. A giant hand suppressed everything as it crossed over, and the cauldron shattered into nine fragments that then scattered in all directions.

Time changed once again, and the nine fragments of the cauldron were each merged into nine different giant cauldrons. They were placed in one area of a grand sect, and they were given a new name: The Nine Cauldrons.

When the Nine Cauldrons first appeared, nine radiant suns appeared in the sky that illuminated the entire firmament. This light shone upon countless perplexed eyes, as well as Lu Yin.

Lu Yin suddenly opened his eyes. His arms were braced against the ground, and he was panting heavily. His eyes had a confused look as he gradually came back to himself.

Ninesuns Cauldron Transformation, Ninesuns Cauldron Transformation, Lu Yin thought to himself relentlessly. He kept trying to recall what he had seen. Then, his eyes suddenly went wide. He slapped a palm against the ground, and the entire cauldron quivered. A formless object condensed and merged into Lu Yin’s palm before merging with his entire body.

Nobody was there to see what that object was, and not even Lu Yin himself had clearly seen what had merged with his hand. However, he knew that he had absorbed something called cauldron energy. He instinctively knew how to absorb it, and he even knew how to use it.

Lu Yin raised his left hand as the star energy within his body converged into his palm and gradually formed a ball. Pure star energy converged within his palm, and this ball was composed of nearly a quarter of Lu Yin’s total star energy reserves. It was a quarter of his reserves, but it had already reached the amount of star energy that an ordinary Hunter would have when their power level reached 150,000. The strength of this ball of energy greatly surpassed the limits of an ordinary Explorer, but it still could not match up to the power that Lu Yin’s battle techniques normally displayed.

Having a technique that used as much star energy as a Hunter’s reserves did not mean that the technique could match a Hunter’s strength.

All this time, Lu Yin had felt like the star energy in his body had been utilized too wastefully. Besides being able to resist the suppression from cultivators with higher realms, there were not many ways for him to use such a tremendous amount of star energy, and Lu Yin had never been in a situation where his star energy had been depleted.

However, there was a use for it now.

The Ninesuns Cauldron Transformation required opening nine suns, and each sun was equivalent to one ninth of the complete battle technique. Only by converging all nine suns could the full might of the Ninesuns Cauldron Transformation be displayed. However, even if Lu Yin could not display the complete power of the Ninesuns Cauldron Transformation right now, the singular sun formed by the cauldron energy and his star energy was already capable of unleashing astounding power. The more star energy that the cauldron energy was merged with, the greater the power the technique would be able to unleash.

He absorbed the cauldron energy into his body with his right palm, and it naturally merged into the gathering ball of star energy in his left hand. Suddenly, the rune lines of the orb of star energy rapidly increased, and it rose to rival the power level of a Hunter. Before, Lu Yin would have only been able to manifest this many rune lines through the Skybeast Claw battle technique, but now, he had gained another method of reaching that same power level.

This was only a quarter of Lu Yin’s star energy reserves, and once all of the star energy in his body gathered together, the power of the technique might reach a level that could even shock an Enlighter.

Absorbing star energy meant that Lu Yin could use more star energy with the technique, which meant that this Ninesuns Cauldron Transformation had no upper limit in terms of power. The more star energy that was gathered, the greater the power that would be unleashed.
