Fang Zong very seriously stretched out his five fingers and started to break them apart:
He indeed has many titles. First, there is the Saintly Demon title, which is of the highest rank and can shake the world. Second, there is the Human Lord title, which is of the highest rank and can be called a County Lord. In addition... perhaps his title is even higher among ghosts.
“Level 9999 when I first appear, I can touch anyone…” Fang Zong muttered to himself, feeling that his rank among ghosts was probably, perhaps, very likely, so high that it couldn’t be shown.
But upon hearing something about 'Heavenly Official', he could only ask, "What is that?"
"Well... please, Lord Heavenly Official, set up the Three Elements Earth Cauldron first."
Cheng Ying recognized Fang Zong, which meant that he was speaking on behalf of Murong Yu and Ai Ke. He looked towards Elder Wang, who nodded and asked Fang Zong, "What do you think?"
"The sooner you settle in, the sooner you can relax."
Fang Zong said he had no objection.
As one of the Nine Cauldrons that protect the nation, the placement of the Three Yuan Earth Cauldron is no small matter. It requires finding a suitable ley line and inserting it into the most harmonious energy source... The right time, the right place, and the right people are all indispensable. However, as the mortals who walk the great destiny of the Eastern Kingdom, Cheng Ying, Murong Yu, and Ai Ke respectively represent the three elements of Heaven, Earth, and Man. If they wish, they can artificially create a rare scene where the right time, the right place, and the right people are all present at any time.
The group flew up above the waterfall, where a vast complex of buildings stretched along the upstream river...
"Old Wang, sir, we'll be outside protecting you."
Because the fewer people present the better, Toriiji and the great warriors stopped outside and quickly disappeared into the air and earth. Old Wang smiled at Fang Zong, patted Fang Zong's shoulder, and then vanished completely.
"The fewer people present at such an unprecedented event, the better. Ah Zong, I'm leaving it to you."
Old Master Wang very much wanted to see Fang Zong install the Three Yuan Earth Cauldron, as this was a matter of consolidating the great fortune of the Eastern Kingdom and his lifelong pursuit. Just in case, he personally protected Fang Zong from the outside.
“Old Wang… is very good.” Cheng Ying suddenly spoke up, following Fang Zong.
Ai Ke nodded and said, "In the past five thousand years, I, Ai Ke, as a storyteller, have rarely seen such a selfless old man. He is more suitable than us to serve as the human agent of the Eastern Kingdom's Great Fortune. Unfortunately, he was still alive when our country's Great Fortune was selecting human agents."
“He’s not necessarily lower in status than you.” Fang Zong smiled gently.
Upon entering the complex, the surrounding scenery suddenly blurred. Fang Zong exhaled a breath, and the vast complex quickly dispersed, leaving only a layer of misty fog around it. This complex was unconsciously conjured by the power of the Three Elements Earth Cauldron. If Fang Zong hadn't dispersed it, it would soon have become a second Silver Waterfall Sea.
"As expected of one of the Nine Tripods that protect the nation, what immense power it possesses!"
The storyteller Ai Ke clicked his tongue in admiration, his feet hovering awkwardly in mid-air, and a harmonious energy emanated from him.
The three beings of Heaven, Earth, and Man walk among humans. He represents 'Man' and can manifest a terrifying power of 'harmony' or 'disharmony' around him at any time.
Cheng Ying, the True Lord of Regret, represented 'Heaven' and flew into the sky; Murong Yu, the Fallen Slave, represented 'Earth'. She planted her red-tasseled spear into the ground, and clear spring water gushed forth from the earth. It was both a water vein and a dragon vein. She raised her head and looked at Cheng Ying with some resentment, as if the earth was feeling uncomfortable and wanted to provoke the sky.
"The right time, the right place, and the right people are all in place. Please, the Heavenly Official in Charge of the Cauldrons, place the Three Primal Earth Cauldrons!"
The three people walking among humans shouted in unison.
"Is it really that serious?" Fang Zong looked at the solemn faces of the three men and couldn't help but purse his lips. He reached out and grabbed the huge, dark blue-green cauldron. After walking to where the spring water was flowing, he put the cauldron down.
The Three Elements Earth Cauldron blocked the spring, but it seemed to melt away instantly.
The spring water, carrying with it a great deal of energy from the sky, the ground, and the space between heaven and earth, surged back, and the ground healed rapidly—in Fang Zong's eyes, this was like a movie playing in reverse, incredibly wondrous.
"My Three Elements Earth Cauldron!"
Fang Zongfei quickly stepped forward and shattered the ground within a radius of a hundred meters with one stomp.
The surface of the earth had healed, but the area three or four meters underground had not yet healed. The spring water, carrying the light and shadow of the Three Yuan Earth Cauldron, continued to rush deeper underground. "Well, the Eastern Kingdom's Great Fortune, do you really think I wouldn't dare to plunder you too!" Fang Zong suddenly became furious, reached out, and directly grabbed the tail of the spring water.
As the saying goes, water has no fixed shape and should theoretically be impossible to grasp. However, Fang Zong's Water Oriole spell is incredibly powerful. Even without the blessing of the Earth Fire Small World, it still firmly holds onto the spring water. The Three Elements Earth Cauldron also emits a bluish-black light and begins to resist the force surging downwards.
"Lord Celestial Official in Charge of Cauldrons, no!" Ai Ke had completely lost his storyteller's charm, and his face changed drastically.
The fallen celestial slave Murong Yu was excited instead. "Good! Now I know why the Eastern Kingdom's Great Fortune gave you the position of Heavenly Official in charge of the cauldrons, which is higher than our status! Can you really deal with a Great Fortune of a country? Fang Zong... ah no... Heavenly Official Grand Silver..." Murong Yu looked only seven or eight years old, but she called out in a charming and coquettish voice: "Heavenly Official Grand Silver, you must stand up for me! I was captured by Japanese soldiers sixty-nine years ago and used for live experiments. Then I was frozen for many years. The Eastern Kingdom's Great Fortune does not allow human beings to walk and cause war, so, cough cough, why don't you take down the entire Great Fortune of Japan?"
"What are you saying? Let's get on with what's here first!"
After reprimanding Murong Yu, Cheng Ying, the True Lord of Regret, tried to force a smile when he looked at Fang Zong. One doesn't hit a smiling face, after all, but given his nature, he couldn't manage a fawning smile. His forced smile and rapid-fire admonition were: "Fang Zong, this is something the Nine Cauldrons must do to protect the nation. Although the Three Yuan Earth Cauldron has entered the dragon vein and will merge into the entire Eastern Kingdom's earth veins, as the owner of the Three Yuan Earth Cauldron and the Heavenly Official in charge of the cauldrons, you can sense its location at any time. Moreover, if you wish, you can fix the Three Yuan Earth Cauldron in a certain place. As long as it's inside the earth veins, it can suppress the nation's great fortune!"
"Is that so?" Fang Zong carefully sensed the spring water for a long time, but still refused to let go of its tail.
He wasn't afraid of losing the Three Yuan Earth Cauldron, but he was worried about not being able to bring Di Xiaomei back to life. Just as he was hesitating, Jiu Mei's scolding voice suddenly rang in his mind: "Dongguo Dayun, how dare you break into my boudoir!"
With a loud 'bang,' Fang Zong's mind was violently shaken.
He seemed to see the scene in his mind—pink bed curtains, pink walls, well, it really was Ninth Sister's boudoir.
