Under Fang Zishu's lead, the group of seven majestically stepped onto the 'Heaven Stairway', and rushed towards the 'Immortal Palace' of the Monarch of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
After approximately three hours, Fang Zishu and the rest had crossed thirty-six white jade platforms, climbed nearly three thousand six hundred steps, and arrived at the end of the 'Heaven Stairway'. When they arrived at the end of the 'Heaven Stairway', everyone noticed that they were actually at the peak of a mountain.
In front of them was a huge bronze cauldron that was about ten feet tall.
Behind the bronze cauldron was a simple and unadorned hall.
”Come, let's go in. It's about time we meet this monarch of over a thousand years ago.”
Fang Zishu patted Pang Dun's shoulders, and raised his leg, preparing to walk towards the hall. But before he had taken two steps, the extremely excited voice of the Professor Xu rang out behind him. ”Oh my god, he actually … This cauldron was actually … ”It's actually the Soaring Dragon Cauldron of the Yin Shang era.”
”Soaring Dragon Cauldron?”
Fang Zishu was startled, he felt that this name sounded a little familiar, but he couldn't quite recall where it came from.
Seeming to have detected the doubt in Fang Zishu's heart, without waiting for Fang Zishu to ask, the Professor Xu took the initiative to explain to him, ”The 'Soaring Dragon Cauldron' was the most famous cauldron in the era of Yin Shang, and it is said that the one who forged this cauldron was none other than the famous Master Refiner 'Uncle Yang' of the Yin Shang Dynasty. According to the records, during the Yin Shang Dynasty, before King Zhou went to war with 'Xi Qi', he had discovered a divine tool in the Eastern Wasteland, the unparalleled cauldron that had been passed down since the ancient era.”
According to the Professor Xu's narration, Fang Zishu found out that the 'Soaring Dragon Cauldron' was said to be one of the nine cauldrons that had suppressed the earth, and was as famous as the 'Mountain River Cauldron' and 'Divine Nong Cauldron'. Uncle Yang was fortunate enough to see the true appearance of the 'Soaring Dragon Cauldron', and was unable to extricate himself from it.
However, this cauldron had been lost during the time of the 'Rampage King'. The next time it appeared was during the Warring States Era. At that time, it was only a fleeting moment, and then it disappeared again. No one would have thought that after so many years, it would actually come to the Monarch of the Northern Wei Dynasty and be placed next to his grave.
”Professor Xu, is this' Soaring Dragon Cauldron 'really that magical?” Da Zeng asked.
”Of course, this is Uncle Yang's imitation of a real 'Soaring Dragon Cauldron' after seeing it. Although it is not the real nine cauldrons, it must be a derivative that is closest to nine cauldrons. If we can obtain it and study it well, we might be able to find even more information about the ancient era and expand its secrets!”
After saying this, the Professor Xu could not help but laugh, ”It's a pity that this' Soaring Dragon Cauldron 'is too big, and this cauldron is entirely made from' bronze ', its weight is probably not any lighter than the Stone Door at the entrance of Stone City. If we want to take away something this heavy, it's simply a fantasy, so I'm afraid that we can only use Xuan paper to record some of the patterns on the cauldron, and then take a good look at it!”
This time, without waiting for Professor Xu's orders, Pang Dun tactfully took out a large amount of xuan paper from his backpack. Then, together with Da Zeng, he used ink and some other special Skill Storing tools to copy down the pictures and symbols engraved on the 'Soaring Dragon Cauldron'.
After waiting for them to finish imprinting, Fang Zishu laughed, ”We have been searching for a long time, and have finally reached the tomb of the Monarch of the Northern Wei Dynasty. It is time to uncover the secrets of this thousand year old legend, and I would like to see if there is the 'Xun' shaped 'Octagon Prismatic Amber that I have been bitterly pursuing in the tomb of the Monarch of the Northern Wei Dynasty!”
As he said till here, Fang Zishu could not help but start walking again. He went around the 'Soaring Dragon Cauldron' and entered the last palace hall.
This was an extremely ancient palace.
