Lin Fan was tightly bound by the Demon-Binding Rope and could not break free.
"Junior Sister Xuanqiu, put me down and let's talk this out!"
"Senior brother, let's talk about what you want to say tomorrow. Today, let's work hard for the benefit of the continent. Your child will surely inherit your talent and lead humanity to victory in the future," Murong Xuanqiu said as he ran.
Lin Fan looked at her quietly without making any other move. Murong Xuanqiu looked puzzled and said, "Senior brother, do you not like me?"
"Long Aotian is going to destroy the world!" he said.
"If we can all survive the catastrophe, we will surely fulfill my junior sister's wish."
"Oh!" Murong Xuanqiu narrowed his eyes, smiling broadly.
"Then you can't go back on your word!"
"I have no regrets in this life!" Lin Fan said.
Murong Xuanqiu relaxed her grip with satisfaction. Lin Fan gave her a few instructions, and then she urged him to do what he wanted to do.
In the following months, Lin Fan swept across multiple regions, acting decisively and routing the evil forces.
Without the Demon Lord's intervention, no one could withstand his fists. The Central Plains Daoist lineage was gradually recovering its lost territory, while the Demonic Path suffered heavy losses and was forced to retreat to the far western Demon Realm.
"Ding, new mission issued: seize the Nine Cauldrons of Zhongzhou, and the reward for completion is the Celestial Gazing Instrument."
The system voice came through: "The Nine Cauldrons are located in the Cangling Mountains of Zhongzhou, guarding the dragon vein of the Tianchen Continent. There is a magnificent river there, which is the center of Zhongzhou."
For tens of thousands of years, reclusive immortal sects have guarded the dragon vein and watched over the Nine Cauldrons, all for the sake of stabilizing the continent.
"What is the purpose of the Nine Tripods?" he asked.
All that is known is that the Nine Cauldrons bring prosperity and ensure the continent's eternal prosperity.
"It can communicate with heaven and earth, and even if Long Aotian sets up the Six Paths Reincarnation Heaven-Slaying Array, it can still stabilize its own power!" the system replied.
Chu Yunying hasn't fallen into Long Aotian's hands yet, so the Nine Cauldrons can't be lost. Once Long Aotian gets them, even without using Chu Yunying's luck, it will be difficult to turn the tide.
He accepted the mission, thought for a while, and realized that the dragon vein guarded by the Nine Cauldrons was relatively close to the Ten Thousand Mountains. So he found Murong Xuanqiu and Chu Yunying to discuss the matter and asked them to go to the Tiger Clan.
Now that Fengxi has grown up, he needs to guard the far western border and keep an eye on the evil forces' every move, so he cannot leave.
If they stayed with the Liu family, it would be difficult to ensure their safety. However, if they were to go to the Ten Thousand Mountains and be cared for by the Tiger Clan, he would feel at ease.
"Senior Brother, I want to go with you to compete for the Nine Cauldrons!" Chu Yunying said.
They traveled south, and after much hesitation, she finally decided to speak.
“Long Aotian might appear. Only by staying by my senior brother’s side can I know what he’s up to. If that moment really comes, I won’t let his scheme succeed,” Chu Yunying said.
"Brother Lin Fan, you must come back alive!" Hong Yinping said.
Her ears twitched, and her amber eyes shone brightly. She possessed a powerful aura, having inherited the White Tiger bloodline, and was now at the peak of a sixth-tier magical beast.
With the demons in the south eliminated, the Tiger Clan was freed from external danger. At this time, the three major beast clans were rebuilt and formed alliances to support each other. As long as the Demon Lord did not come out, they were very safe.
"Okay, you all need to live well too, okay?" Lin Fan patted her head and smiled.
Soon he and Chu Yunying set off, traversing the void and heading towards Cangling.
Before they even arrived, demonic energy surged into the sky from afar, and five terrifying auras surrounded the Taixu Palace.
As one of the three hidden immortal palaces, they had their own means of self-preservation, but they still couldn't withstand the siege of the five supreme demonic beings.
Despite the various sects from Zhongzhou coming to their aid, the Demonic Supreme's cultivation was too terrifying, causing them to suffer repeated defeats and heavy casualties.
Beyond the Cangling Mountains, the strong shed their blood, and the brave are unafraid of death.
Lin Fan led Chu Yunying through the fray, their swords dripping with blood.
He stormed onto the dragon vein. Legend has it that since the beginning of time, the Tianchen Continent was created from chaos by nine giant dragons with supreme divine power.
They transformed themselves into nine majestic mountain ranges, connected end to end, forming a natural barrier that protects the peace and prosperity of this continent.
These nine giant dragons are the embodiment of the Cangling Dragon Vein, and their hearts are buried deep beneath the nine mountain ranges. In order to protect the fortune of the human race, the ancient emperors cast the ancient and weathered Nine Cauldrons to suppress the fortune.
The Nine Tripods are cast from purple copper, yet they contain the primordial chaos of the beginning of time, capable of gathering the spirit of mountains and rivers and suppressing all evil.
Each cauldron is engraved with ancient runes, which resemble the trajectories of stars and contain the most profound secrets and laws of the universe.
"Thank you for coming to my aid, Fellow Daoist Lin!" Lin Fan cleaved the Devouring Sun Demon Lord away with a single sword strike. Upon seeing that it was him who had come to kill him, the latter hesitated to make any rash moves, showing great fear of the Immortal Execution Sword in his hand.
When Tianxuzi saw Lin Fan save him, his old face showed some gratitude. Fortunately, he had spoken with Lin Fan before and they had a good impression of each other.
Although this is a newly promoted powerhouse, he is a ruthless person who can cut down the Demon Lord. He once killed the Crimson Blood Demon Lord with a single sword, which aroused the fighting spirit and determination of the Central Plains lineage to resist.
It is evident that Lin Fan is now renowned throughout the Tianchen Continent, and even though he possesses a demonic heart, he is still worshipped by many.
"Why don't you hand over the Nine Cauldrons to me?" Lin Fan said.
Whether the Nine Cauldrons can be preserved if they remain in the Taixu Palace is another matter; the Daoist lineage might even perish as a result.
Tianxuzi also had this plan, and then passed on the incantation to activate the Nine Cauldrons to him.
"Lin Fan, you have indeed not disappointed me." Long Aotian stepped forward. At this moment, his aura was no weaker than that of the Demon Lord. He had come with four other Demon Lords, not only to seize the Nine Cauldrons, but also to lure Lin Fan out.
Lin Fan possessed the Heaven-Concealing Pearl to hide his aura and conceal the secrets of heaven. No matter how the demonic path deduced, they could not know his movements. Therefore, he could appear and disappear unpredictably, causing the powerful demonic path cultivators to be defeated and flee.
Now, the only threat the Great Emperor poses to them is Lin Fan. If Meng eliminates him, no one on the Tianchen Continent will be able to stop the advance of the demonic path.
Looking at Long Aotian, whose demonic aura was overwhelming, Lin Fan frowned. The system had previously warned that Ye Zun was in danger, and now it seemed that he had fallen at Ye Zun's hands.
At this moment, Long Aotian has already obtained five sources of fortune. If he were to seize Chu Yunying's source as well, the Tianchen Continent would likely repeat the same mistakes.
Thinking of this, Lin Fan silently recited the incantation, and the Nine Cauldrons flew out from the dragon vein, the runes flowing and merging into one cauldron, which floated quietly in his palm.
"Ding, reminding the host to deal with the demonic path as soon as possible and return to the Ten Thousand Mountains." The system's voice sounded.
Lin Fan directly unleashed the Seven Star Sky-Stepping Diagram, combining it with the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation to merge the space within a hundred miles.
Sword beams descended from the sky, sweeping across the Cangling Mountains, and all the demons below the Supreme level were suppressed and killed by the sword energy.
Lin Fan threw Chu Yunying out, looked at Tian Xuzi, and said, "Please protect her, fellow Daoist."
