Originally, martial arts battles were just for fun.

In his view, those old demons wouldn't become sworn brothers with Chen Xuan; they wouldn't be so shameless.

A marriage alliance is possible, given the precedent set by the Lin clan.

To everyone's surprise, those four old monsters from the demon race, for some reason, actually agreed.

He had no idea that the four of them were actually plotting to obtain Chen Xuan's Supreme Blood.

They all thought that if Chen Xuan really became the Supreme in the future, as his brother, it wouldn't be too much to ask for a bowl of his blood, right?

If it's about marriage alliances, it's awkward to bring it up, and even if you do, the other party might not agree.

But if they are sworn brothers, then there's nothing to be embarrassed about saying it.

The main reason was Douwu's line: "My daughter used the blood of the Supreme Being to extend my life by tens of millions of years." That line really provoked them.

If given the chance to extend one's life, who wouldn't want to live longer?

This is also why they considered becoming sworn brothers with Chen Xuan.

Actually, the four of them hadn't made a final decision yet, but Chen Xuan set up the altar.

This efficiency is all about being swift and decisive.

Douwu naturally couldn't "go along with them" and refused to become sworn brothers with them under any circumstances.

The four demons didn't expect him to join; it was just a casual remark.

Soon, the four of them swore an oath of brotherhood by blood. First, each of them lit three incense sticks and placed them on the incense altar, saying a bunch of old clichés such as "We do not ask to be born on the same day, month, and year, but we ask to die on the same day, month, and year."

Then, cut open your wrists, drip your blood into a jar of wine, divide it into five bowls, one for each person, drink it all, and then smash the bowls.

The sworn brotherhood ceremony was thus officially completed.

"Big brother, second brother, third brother, fourth sister!"

Chen Xuan politely clasped his hands in greeting to his eldest brother Black Bear, second brother White Tiger, third brother Crocodile, and fourth sister Fox.

"Haha, Fifth Brother, from now on we're family!"

Big Brother Black Bear laughed heartily. Although he had a bad temper, he was also very generous. He put his arm around Chen Xuan's shoulder, and they were as close as brothers.

Douwu glanced at the five guys and unconsciously moved closer to Lin Yan, clicking his tongue and saying, "Little girl, keep an eye on your man. Don't let him get corrupted by colluding with these guys."

Lin Yan tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, smiled gently, and remained silent.

At this moment, her gaze towards Chen Xuan held a hint of something special.

"Fifth Brother, this is the Heaven and Earth Tai Gold you wanted!"

After a brief exchange of pleasantries and friendly conversation, the eldest brother, Black Bear, suddenly pulled out a huge piece of dark purple metal.

Chen Xuan recognized it at a glance; it was made of the same material as Mount Tai in the underworld, one of the nine innate Dao metals—Heaven and Earth Tai Gold!

"Fifth brother, before I give you the Heaven and Earth Gold, I have something I want to ask you."

Black Bear did not immediately hand the item to Chen Xuan; instead, his expression suddenly turned serious.

"Brother, please ask." Chen Xuan said politely.

"Just now, that old thief Douwu said that you have already gone to the Lin Clan in the Great Ruins and the Yan Clan in the Yellow Springs to demand the Great Dao Metal, and you have succeeded both times."

"So you have at least two pieces of Great Dao Metal. Normally, one piece of Great Dao Metal is enough to forge a natal magic weapon. Fifth Brother, what do you need so much Great Dao Metal for?"

Black Bear asked, and the other three also looked over, all showing curiosity.

As the saying goes, greed leads to ruin.

Even if you have too much of this Great Dao Metal, you can only refine one or two natal magic weapons. What's the point of having so much?

After all, a person's energy is limited. Before becoming a supreme being, cultivating one's own realm is the primary goal, while forging one's natal weapon is secondary.

Unless one's cultivation reaches a bottleneck and there is no way to break through, one will not consider spending time on forging weapons.

Chen Xuan's primary goal is cultivation; he wouldn't need so much Dao metal.

Chen Xuan smiled and said, "To be honest, my fellow brothers and sisters, where I'm from, there's a saying that goes, 'The Nine Cauldrons determine the fate of the nation!'"

“Coincidentally, there are nine kinds of innate Dao metals, so I plan to refine nine cauldrons.”

"I know the laws of time and can accelerate time, so I don't need to worry about my cultivation progress."

"Furthermore, each time I undergo tribulation, I will have my cauldrons undergo tribulation along with me, so that the nine cauldrons will bear my mark. In the future, these nine cauldrons will carry my Great Dao!"

Upon hearing this, the four men, including Black Bear, exchanged bewildered glances, their faces showing astonishment.

Good heavens! Since the era of the Boundary Sea, they have experienced countless things and seen people with big appetites, but they have never seen anyone with such a big appetite as Chen Xuan!

Even the supreme beings only forge one natal magic weapon. Those like the Eastern Venerable and the Underworld Venerable, who cultivated two great paths simultaneously, only forged two natal magic weapons.

For example, the Eastern Venerable has the Supreme Yin-Yang Sword, and the Eastern Emperor Palace, where the Eastern Emperor currently resides, was actually called the Eastern Palace in the primitive era, and was also known as the Supreme Yin-Yang Palace.

The two supreme divine artifacts of the Underworld Lord are Mount Tai, and the six quasi-supreme divine artifacts—the Yellow Spring Seal, the Bridge of Helplessness, the Book of Life and Death, the Scepter of Hell, the Underworld Mirror, and the Judge's Pen—are treasures that are combined into one.

The other supreme beings, such as the Central Supreme, the Southern Supreme, the Northern Supreme, and even the White Supreme, have only forged one supreme Dao artifact.

Because refining a natal magic weapon is equivalent to creating a copy of oneself, it requires a lifetime of dedication.

Chen Xuan, on the other hand, refined nine of them all by himself.

It's like making nine copies; even if you squeeze yourself dry, it would be difficult.

After all, this thing isn't like a hen laying eggs, where you can't just lay them one at a time.

Little did people know that Chen Xuan had his own reasons for doing so.

What he wants to do is not to actually refine the Nine Cauldrons, but to unite the Nine Cauldrons into one and reach the pinnacle of supreme power on the day he breaks through to the Supreme Realm!

If he's going to be one, he'll be the number one supreme being of all time!

"Fifth brother, I'm not trying to discourage you, but even a Supreme Being might not be able to gather all nine Great Dao Metals in an entire era. And now, there are less than 600 million years left until the end of this era. Are you sure you can gather them all?"

"The black bear asked."

Chen Xuan smiled and made a thought.

Instantly, four cauldrons floated around him.

In addition, there was a piece of green embryonic metal.

These four small cauldrons are respectively Primordial Black Gold, Glazed Jade Gold, Dao-Blocking Gold, and Azure Crimson Gold.

That embryo was the Divine Tear Green Gold that had just been obtained from the Lin Clan.

There are five different types of metals here.

If we add the Heaven and Earth Gold in the Black Bear's hand, that makes six types.

Only three more are needed to complete the legendary nine types of Dao metals!

"this……"

The four powerful figures of the demon race were completely dumbfounded.
