Chapter 404: The Past of Medicine King Cauldron

"So, the time is right from the moment your Medicine King Sect returned to Xuanhuang Realm. Twenty-four years."

Xiao Heng also reacted immediately.

"But Fellow Daoist Linghu clearly said that Medicine King Cauldron was only outside the realm for a short time before returning. How is it possible that thousands of years have passed here in such a short time?" Zhang Haobo frowned deeply.

"The speed of time is thousands of times different? Is it really possible?"

No one present could answer this question, and they all fell into silence.

"Perhaps, there is a way to figure out what happened back then." After a moment, Linghu Chang suddenly said as if he remembered something.

"When falling into the Xuanhuang Realm, the Medicine King Cauldron exhausted all its energy and eventually fell into silence."

"But you just said that you could only enter here by relying on the induction of the Small Medicine King Cauldron."

He looked at Xiao Heng: "Under normal circumstances, the induction between the Medicine King Cauldrons is one-way. That is, only the holder of the Medicine King True Cauldron can sense the location of the other Small Medicine King Cauldrons."

"Holding the Small Medicine King Cauldron, you can sense the location of the True Cauldron. This often only happens when the sect master summons nearby sect monks."

"This means that either the sect master has also awakened. Or after so many years, the Medicine King Cauldron has recovered its energy and began to spontaneously execute orders and seek help from the outside world."

"In short, no matter what, we must go to the [Gate of Life and Death] to check on the sect master."

Linghu Chang said in a deep voice.

"Gate of Life and Death? Is it the gray stone door at the end of the corridor? We tried, and we couldn't open it at all." Su Xiaomei responded.

"Of course. The Gate of Life and Death separates life and death. Even a Taoist monk cannot shake it. If you can destroy it, it will be a big problem." Linghu Chang said disapprovingly.

"Do you have a way?" Su Xiaomei said a little unconvinced.

"Humph." Linghu Chang snorted coldly and said nothing.

He flew to the depths of the passage.

Su Xiaomei and the other two looked at each other and followed closely.

Not long after, they arrived in front of the gray stone door.

Linghu Chang had already sat cross-legged, and the small medicine king tripod appeared again above his head, emitting a protective light shield.

The ground around him was also shining with golden light and engraved with many symbols.

He took out another talisman paper and pasted it on his forehead.

Twenty-four golden needles surrounded him on the left and right.

Four jade cards were arranged in front and back.

After taking defensive measures, Linghu Chang politely said to Xiao Heng and the other two: "Please protect me."

"I don't know what you are showing off." Su Xiaomei muttered.

Linghu Chang didn't care and closed his eyes.

Then, a baby figure that looked eight points like Linghu Chang suddenly emerged from his body.

"Hello, fellow Taoists!"

The baby bowed to Xiao Heng and the others in a very elegant manner, and looked very cute.

"This is..."

"Nascent Soul?"

Xiao Heng and the others were shocked.

The current cultivators have long abandoned the practice of "breaking the pill to become a baby".

Instead, they directly plundered various caves and formed cave domains to replace the Nascent Soul.

Seeing this legendary existence at this time, they were surprised and a little curious.

After Linghu Chang's Nascent Soul left his body, he did not fly out of the protection he had laid out.

Instead, he took out a small set of green wood armor and put it on himself.

After swallowing several more pills, he turned into a stream of light and flew towards the gray stone gate.

When it was about to collide with the Gate of Life and Death, a green light suddenly appeared on the body of the Nascent Soul.

The stone gate was illuminated by the light, as if it was also immersed in it, and became somewhat alive.

Linghu Chang took the opportunity to dive into the green area of ​​the stone gate.

After he disappeared, the stone gate returned to normal.

"The Nascent Soul has left the body, it's really magical." Su Xiaomei patted the stone door, making a banging sound.

She still couldn't enter, she felt a little regretful.

Turning her head, she looked at Linghu Chang's body protected by many magic weapons in the center.

Her eyes turned: "This man has a lot of magic weapons."

"You said, he carries so many treasures with him alone."

"There are so many sleeping monks in this Medicine King Cauldron. How rich will the treasures be?"

"Not counting the many secret treasures of the Medicine King Sect."

Su Xiaomei transmitted the message.

"What Senior Skull said is right, it is indeed a great opportunity." Zhang Haobo echoed.

"It's a pity that we are not strong enough, otherwise..."

Xiao Heng did not respond.

He stared at the gray Gate of Life and Death, not knowing what he was thinking.

Time passed slowly while waiting.

One day, two days...

Linghu Chang who entered the gate seemed to have disappeared, and there was no news at all.

"Is there any accident?"

Xiao Heng and the others were a little worried.

It was not until five days later that the Gate of Life and Death opened with a bang.

The Nascent Soul returned to its place.

After a while, Linghu Chang's body shook a little, and he slowly stood up with a sad face.

"Fellow Daoist Linghu, what happened?" Zhang Haobo asked.

"Come with me." Linghu Chang put away his protection and entered the stone gate.

The three thought about it, raised their guard, and followed him in.

It seemed as if they had suddenly arrived in the endless void, and countless stars were shining in the distant background.

"The sect master had passed away thousands of years ago to protect us."

At this time, Linghu Chang's somewhat sad voice came.

"This is the picture recorded by the Medicine King Cauldron back then."

The scene around Xiao Heng and the others suddenly moved rapidly from stillness.

Countless streams of light were stretched to form strange curves.

And below, a huge, hazy ball of light was moving away from them.

A sigh sounded.

"Xuanhuang Realm..."

Another old voice appeared: "Master, don't worry. The catastrophe is coming. We are not wrong to flee far away for a chance of survival."

"Having said that, Xuanhuang Realm is our hometown after all..."

"With great ability comes great responsibility. Our Yaowang Sect is just a small sect, and we can't take care of many other things. Let's leave the matter of dealing with the catastrophe and saving Xuanhuang Realm to the Ten Sects of Immortal Dao." The old voice clearly showed dissatisfaction with the Ten Sects of Immortal Dao.

"Old Huang... Forget it, let's not talk about this." Liu Ruchen paused, but talked about something else.

"Speaking of which, the attitude of the ten sects of the immortal way is a bit strange this time. According to their previous style of doing things, they would definitely come out to reprimand us when they heard that we were going to flee with our entire sect. But for some reason, they didn't mean to stop us this time."

Old Huang said disapprovingly: "When disaster strikes, everyone flees. Just talking about fleeing, there are more than just our Yaowang Sect. Maybe there are too many people and they can't handle it."

Liu Ruchen remained silent.

After a while, Old Huang said excitedly: "But outsiders would never think that our Yaowang Sect would have a [Dao Benchmark] from other immortal cultivation worlds."

"Relying on the guidance of the Dao Benchmark, we can cross the endless void and go to a new world."
