Revealing Formation Seal
“How dare you attempt an assassination in Pill Hall?!” blustered Daoist Hong Yuan.
“Hahaha, I respect you as elders, while you treat me as thin air. Now you want to act like you care about rules? As patriarch of Pill Cauldron Sect, I shall punish you on the spot!” Daoist Yun Dan summoned an astral projection of a pill cauldron behind him, sending Hong Yuan and Hong Yi back while he went through the roof.
“He’s outside!” declared Hong Yuan, running outside with everyone else in tow.
“I never wanted to use Revealing Cauldron, but you two have disappointed me with your behaviour.” Daoist Yun Dan, standing atop Revealing Cauldron, slapped his hands together and then pulled them apart, invoking Revealing Cauldron’s golden seal that assumed the cauldron’s shape between his hands. The seal’s emergence created a stir in the sky. “Revealing Seal – Refine the World!”
Daoist Yun Dan’s pupils turned white while the cauldron hummed. The eighty-one characters that were thirty-plus metres long swirled out and around Daoist Yun Dan, sending tremors through Pill Cauldron Sect’s grounds.
Revealing Cauldron – capable of refining a pill and refining the world into a pill.
Given that Daoist Yun Dan did not use the cauldron even when Archfiend Baiyuan escaped, it went to show that the former was cornered.
“Yun Dan is the only one with the authority to control Revealing Cauldron Seal. Now that he has merged with it, what should we do?” Hong Yuan consulted Qian Shange and Wan Shuiyao.
“Let’s see why everyone praises it first,” answered Qian Shange, eyes on Daoist Yun Dan.
“Yun Dan, you are not Revealing Cauldron’s true leader. Wielding the cauldron will expend your life span,” Qian Shange confronted Daoist Yun Dan and pointed out.
“It’s worth it in order to cull you two evildoers to ensure Pill Cauldron Sect survives.”
“Your conviction is admirable. It’s a pity that you are a tyrant. Pill Cauldron Sect will only survive if you are removed, hahaha,” proclaimed Wan Shuiyao, stepping past Qian Shange.
Qian Shange taunted, “It’s such a pity.”
“What’s a pity?!”
“It’s a pity you won’t have the chance to utilise Refine the World,” replied Wan Shuiyao.
“What?”
Daoist Yu Dan watched the seal in his hands rotate faster than before, and then the cauldron behind him faded calming down the turbulence in the sky and ground. “What did you do?!”
“I merely segregated the real cauldron and that one’s qi,” answered Qian Shange, confining the cauldron in a white formation.
The Revealing Cauldron located at the teleportation formation was the real cauldron, while the one others saw outside was but a clone. The one visible to all lacked a physical form, while the one in the sect’s forbidden ground had a physical form.
Qian Shange blasted Daoist Yun Dan with a soul energy blast, slamming the latter against the cauldron. Upon recovering from the rocking experience, Daoist Yun Dan glared at Shi Dengtian. “Shi Dengtian, you let outsiders into our forbidden grounds!”
“We might not be able to enter the cauldron, but you’re not the owner, either. You’re merely using the seal to obtain ownership. It’s easy to cut your link off from the real one,” mocked Wan Shuiyao.
“Hahaha, Senior Brother, we are blessed to have them check out our sacred grounds,” claimed Shi Dengtian.
“Absolute nonsense!” thundered Daoist Yun Dan, gripping his chest in pain.
“You’ve used up all of your skills, and you’re spent, Senior Brother. Why don’t you hand over the seal now?”
“I’d rather die than give you the seal.”
“In that case, we’ll take it ourselves. Don’t say I didn’t warn you: you’ll be left a cripple if we forcibly extract it from you, Senior Brother.”
Worried sick, Yao Wuji opined, “Senior Brother Shi, it is unwise to do that in front of all our disciples as it will give the impression that we are staging a revolt. They may not accept us if you do that. Please let me try to persuade him. As long as he hands over the seal of his own accord, you will be a legitimate patriarch.”
“Hmm, you have a point. Go on. If he refuses, then I’ll have to do it the hard way.”
“Thank you, Senior Brother.” Yao Wuji flew up to assist Daoist Yun Dan. “Senior Brother, heroes are those who know how to make the right decisions. Hand over the seal to save your life.”
Daoist Yun Dan roughly wiped the blood stain on his lips. “Tell me this isn’t what you really want! You’re being forced against your will, aren’t you?!”
“Senior Brother Shi is a more suitable leader than you are. Do you still not realise it?”
“I don’t know what happened to you; however, I do know you’re not my Junior Brother Yao! Brother Yao would never say that to me!” Daoist Yun Dan shunted Yao Wuji.
“I am doing this for our sake.”
“Hahaha, unlike you, I’d rather die than drag out an ignoble existence!”
