Urban Undying Lord-Chapter 1488 - 1507: Emergence of the Divine Soul

Time flies, and years pass like a melody!

Ye Xuan had no idea how long he had been in a daze, his entire being was in a state of confusion, until a thunderous roar in his mind pulled him back.

"Has the body separation succeeded in crossing the tribulation?"

Ye Xuan murmured to himself, his heart filled with extreme bitterness, for he felt that the body separation had successfully crossed the tribulation, truly stepping into the Immortal Realm.

The success of the body separation in crossing the tribulation should be a good thing, but Ye Xuan’s true self remained stuck in the Unity Realm Stage, and this disparity made him feel indescribably sour and depressed.

Body separation is just a trump card; true strength lies within oneself. Ye Xuan understood this very well, and even though the body separation succeeded in crossing the tribulation, he couldn’t feel any joy.

Despite his extreme despondency, Ye Xuan sent the body separation back to the Underworld for cultivation, while he sat silently in the Snow Bamboo Peak Hall, contemplating his path forward.

"The road has come to an end. Where should I go from here?"

Ye Xuan mumbled, flipping his palm to reveal two items: the Bronze Ancient Scripture and the recently acquired Void-breaking Heavenly Cauldron.

Whoosh!

The Bronze Ancient Scripture swayed slightly, its pages flipping open in Ye Xuan’s hand, engraved with images of four small cauldrons, precisely the four Void-breaking Heavenly Cauldrons that Ye Xuan had acquired.

"It seems only by comprehending the fifth Void-breaking Heavenly Cauldron can I truly step into the Immortal Realm."

Ye Xuan held the Bronze Ancient Scripture in one hand and the fifth Void-breaking Heavenly Cauldron in the other, bringing them closer together, hoping the Heavenly Cauldron could integrate into the Bronze Ancient Scripture.

Buzz!

Suddenly, the Bronze Ancient Scripture and the Void-breaking Heavenly Cauldron emitted repelling forces, separating fiercely from Ye Xuan’s hand, seemingly as incompatible as water and fire, showing no sign of integration.

"As expected!"

Ye Xuan frowned deeply; though anticipated, the result still disappointed him.

Years ago, integrating the fourth Void-breaking Heavenly Cauldron into the Bronze Ancient Scripture was similar, until a fortuitous opportunity allowed the comprehension of the Heavenly Burial Technique from it, joining the two as one.

The events of that time have reoccurred; it seems that only by comprehending the mysteries of the fifth Void-breaking Heavenly Cauldron can it truly integrate into the Bronze Ancient Scripture, allowing Ye Xuan to obtain the Forbidden Technique from the fifth small cauldron.

He exhaled a turbid breath, calming himself further, and forgoing his previous dejection entirely, his once dull eyes growing sharp yet again. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Thunder!

Ye Xuan sat cross-legged as the Heavenly Burial Technique began to operate slowly, the gray light entwined around his body, his breath faintly harmonizing with the fifth Void-breaking Heavenly Cauldron, hoping to induce some change in it.

Sadly, the fifth Void-breaking Heavenly Cauldron remained motionless, even as Ye Xuan’s breath continuously enveloped the small cauldron, it produced no change whatsoever.

He exhaled slowly, ceasing the operation of the Heavenly Burial Technique within himself, his brows furrowed tightly.

"Chaotic Universe, Twelve Primordial Meetings, there are twelve Void-breaking Heavenly Cauldrons, with three held by the three Eternal Supreme beings. The remaining nine, I’ve obtained five. Each Heavenly Cauldron is unique; what mysteries lie within them, and what connection exists between the Bronze Ancient Scripture and the twelve Void-breaking Heavenly Cauldrons?"

Lost in thought, Ye Xuan muttered, unable to unravel the links.

"Perhaps the Eternal Shadow knows some secrets about the Void-breaking Heavenly Cauldrons and the Bronze Ancient Scripture. Should I seek him in the Primordial World?" Ye Xuan pondered hesitantly.

A moment later, Ye Xuan dismissed the thought.

Despite his profound ties with the Eternal Shadow, having been taught two secret techniques, the Eternal Shadow was not his friend, but a terrifyingly forbidden figure, far too mysterious and dangerous. Approaching him with the Bronze Ancient Scripture and the Void-breaking Heavenly Cauldron might result in great upheaval.

Rumbling thunder!

Ye Xuan continued to delve into the small cauldron’s mysteries, deploying every technique known to him, but none could prompt the slightest change in it, as if he merely held a common cauldron.

"Something’s not right; something must be wrong."

After countless attempts, Ye Xuan’s face contorted with unwillingness, his cry of frustration echoing as none of his methods unveiled the cauldron’s secrets.

"The Bronze Ancient Scripture, it must be related to the Bronze Ancient Scripture."

Suddenly, Ye Xuan’s eyes steadied, a flash of insight illuminating his mind, affirming his judgment.

If the previous four Void-breaking Heavenly Cauldrons could integrate with the Bronze Ancient Scripture, it shows they inherently belong as one. To decipher the fifth small cauldron, the key must lie in the Bronze Ancient Scripture.

"Come."

This time, Ye Xuan eschewed any brute force, gently placing the Bronze Ancient Scripture and the Void-breaking Heavenly Cauldron together, his Dharma Eye fixed on them, hoping to find their connection.

"Hm?"

Suddenly, Ye Xuan’s expression turned slightly astonished, noticing a subtle change between the Bronze Ancient Scripture and the small cauldron, incredibly discreet but undeniably present.

An indefinable energy surrounded them, faintly linking the Bronze Ancient Scripture and the small cauldron, though this energy seemed ephemeral, poised to dissipate at any moment.

"Indeed!"

Ye Xuan’s eyes brightened, as if discovering new lands, cautiously reaching out toward the small cauldron, his soul calm, avoiding any disturbances.

Bang!

A sudden dreadful crash resounded, sending Ye Xuan flying, the Bronze Ancient Scripture and the cauldron scattering apart.

"How could this happen? Where’s the problem?"

Catching his breath, a trickle of blood at his lip, Ye Xuan returned, evidently injured by the explosion’s fearsome power.

But he ignored his injuries, placing the Bronze Ancient Scripture and the cauldron back together, refraining from touching them, pondering where he’d erred.

"External force cannot touch them; touching causes repulsion between them?" Ye Xuan murmured, as if glimpsing an inkling.

"If external force cannot touch them, can my Divine Soul attempt their fusion?"

The next moment, Ye Xuan’s eyes deepened, a bold and reckless notion emerging in his mind.

Ye Xuan’s idea was incredibly audacious; knowing full well the Divine Soul is a cultivator’s foundation, its slightest issue leading to soul scattering and death.
