CHAPTER 280: CHAPTER 258: GREAT TAO FURNACE SCRIPTURE!

As Chen Zhixing’s words fell.

The ancient profound cauldron looked at Chen Zhixing, its expression gradually changing.

Chen Zhixing, with his dark robe, a face as handsome as an immortal, had vanished.

In his place was a devil wearing a human mask, with a fake smile, full of sly persuasion.

He suddenly took a deep breath, then used all his strength, letting out a loud shout:

"You treat me, the ancient profound cauldron..."

Boom!!

In an instant, the ancient profound cauldron leaped up, its eyes filled with fury, throwing a punch at Chen Zhixing.

"....as what kind of person?!!"

Whoosh.

A pale, slender hand, with distinct joints, grabbed the punch thrown by the ancient profound cauldron.

"Truly virtuous and admirable."

Chen Zhixing’s lips curled into a cold smile, his fingers gradually applying force.

Crack crack crack.

The sound of bones breaking rang out.

"Given the chance, you prove useless, then....."

Boom——!

Endless five-colored thunder surged from Chen Zhixing’s arm, rampaging towards the ancient profound cauldron.

"...you go die!!!"

Bang bang bang!

Bang bang bang!!

Instantly, the thunder exploded inside the ancient profound cauldron, destroying its flesh and veins, Sea of Spiritual Soul, and Great Tao Foundation!

The ancient profound cauldron trembled violently, blood gushing out from every pore.

Its pupils expanded, then the life force in them gradually dispersed, turning gray.

"I....."

It opened its mouth, seeming to want to say something, but no longer had the strength to speak.

It could only lift its head towards the sky, with a gradually complex and bitter smile.

’Yanran, I promised you I would do this...are you satisfied now?’

Bang!

The ancient profound cauldron fell heavily backwards, lifeless.

Truly, both form and spirit destroyed.

Chen Zhixing withdrew his hand, glanced down at the ancient profound cauldron staring at the void.

"Rest in peace. If there is a chance in the future, I shall send Guu Yanran down to accompany you."

Chen Zhixing sighed lightly, reaching out to gently close the ancient profound cauldron’s eyes.

This guy, perhaps is a rare infatuated soul, or a pitiful one, isn’t he?

The next moment.

Bang!!!

Chen Zhixing stomped heavily, instantly crushing the ancient profound cauldron’s body.

Three ancient jade stones emitting a faint white light appeared among the crushed flesh.

"Only three Immortal Martial Orders? So few?"

Chen Zhixing shook his head, his eyes revealing a hint of disappointment.

Immediately, he reached out and picked up the three white ancient jades from the bloody remains.

"This time I acquired a total of twenty-five Immortal Martial Orders, I do not believe I will fail to obtain the Great Tao Furnace Scripture!"

Chen Zhixing took a step, leaving a trail of shadows on the ground, disappearing without a trace.

...

...

About half an hour later.

An old man wearing a filthy black robe, with tangled hair and beard, a gaunt face, sallow complexion, and eyes filled with deathly Qi, walked step by step.

"Hmm? Who is this person?"

The celestial youths whom Chen Zhixing had casually saved before looked at the old man with astonishment.

"Isn’t this East Profound Domain contest only open to celestial youths under thirty?"

"What’s the situation with this old man?"

"Could it be a Demon Sect celestial who practiced magic, causing premature aging?"

Instantly, several celestial youths exchanged glances, their faces filled with incredulous expression.

The old man in the dirty black robe walked step by step, finally standing in front of these celestial youths.

He lifted his deathly gray eyes, speaking hoarsely, like the scraping of two iron sheets.

"Where is Chen Zhixing?"

The celestial youths frowned and said, "Friend, who are you, asking about the Third Young Master right away?"

"I’ll ask again, where is Chen Zhixing?"

The old man in the dirty black robe said indifferently.

As these words fell.

One of the celestial youths burst into laughter.

"Ah, what tone is this? Is this how you ask for something? I won’t tell you....."

Bang!!!

Before he could finish speaking.

The old man in the dirty black robe had already reached out a withered hand, pressing heavily on the celestial youth’s head.

"Soul Search!"

In an instant, the celestial youth trembled violently, a twisted look of pain flashing across his face.

A moment later.

The forest of broken walls and ruins fell silent.

The old man in the dirty black robe looked towards the direction Chen Zhixing had departed, squinted his eyes.

In the next moment.

He walked away step by step.

...

...

Meanwhile.

In front of a cave.

Alongside Chen Zhixing’s original nineteen Immortal Martial Orders and the twenty-five Immortal Martial Orders acquired earlier, he now had a total of forty-four Immortal Martial Orders!

And this propelled Chen Zhixing’s ranking in the contest to third place!

Only Sword Son Fuu Qingxu and the top-ranked Wui Duolong remained ahead of him!

"Again!"

Chen Zhixing held an Immortal Martial Order, activating his True Essence.

Instantly,

A beam of white light shot into the sky.

However, despite waiting for a long time, nothing fell from the sky.

"Has this Immortal Martial Order been activated by someone before, taking its creation so that no transformation can be obtained through it?"

Chen Zhixing frowned slightly, then continued to activate ten Immortal Martial Orders in succession.

However.

The ten consecutive Immortal Martial Orders proved empty, with nothing falling from the sky.

Chen Zhixing frowned slightly.

Usually, celestial youths, upon acquiring an Immortal Martial Order, would immediately activate it to gain its transformation.

Therefore, from orders acquired from others, it often implies their creation has been taken.

Bang bang bang!

Bang bang bang!!

White beams of light shot into the sky, until the sixteenth Immortal Martial Order.

A piece of golden ancient paper slowly floated down from the sky.

"Great Tao Furnace Scripture?"

Chen Zhixing’s eyes lit up.

In the next moment.

Chen Zhixing reached out and grabbed the golden ancient paper, holding it in his hands.

He looked down, seeing densely packed ancient characters on the golden ancient paper.

On the top, four words were written: ’Life-Restoring Pill Formula.’

"Ancient Pill Formula?"

Chen Zhixing raised his eyebrows, studying it carefully.

This ancient pill formula was for crafting the Life-Restoring Pill.

The Life-Restoring Pill not only possessed the terrifying effect of reviving the dead but was also one of the few that could completely heal Great Tao Foundation damage!

Note, this is not suppression.

It is complete healing!

"This Life-Restoring Pill Formula requires heavenly materials and earthly treasures, which coincidentally have all been gathered during this trip."

Chen Zhixing’s eyes flashed with contemplation.

Thus, his father’s reversed illness could be entirely cured.

"Again!"

Taking a deep breath, Chen Zhixing’s face resumed its resolute expression as he continued to activate Immortal Martial Orders.

Seventeen orders!

Eighteen orders!

Nineteen orders...

Twenty-three orders!

Twenty-four orders!

Bang——!!!

Suddenly, with the activation of the twenty-fourth Immortal Martial Order, a dazzling white light shot into the sky.

And then.

Chen Zhixing saw the white light whirling back, and a thin, black ancient book fell from the sky.

Chen Zhixing reached out, grabbing it, and then studied it closely.

In an instant, Chen Zhixing’s eyes sparkled with excitement, flooded with uncontrollable delight.

Only to see the five characters elegantly inscribed on the black ancient book—

Great Tao Furnace Scripture!
