Chapter 119

Just like there was a dungeon boss in the 'Ancient Cultivator's Tomb' and 'Ancient Cultivator's Sword Tomb' before.

Su Chen knew that there must be a dungeon boss in the Strongest Man Dungeon.

Su Chen also speculated that the boss of this dungeon might be far superior to Ye Chenglin from Wanfu Peak and Fang Heng from Cangjian Peak.

After a period of exploration, Su Chen gradually saw the nature of the mine.

This is not a mine at all; it is an extremely huge spiritual vein!

And right on this spiritual vein, there was an extremely huge cauldron pressing down on it.

The reason why Su Chen discovered this was because, when he was digging for bronze ore, he discovered that he had dug into a black wall.

Not only was his Mountain Collapsing Fist unable to damage the wall in the slightest, but even the enhanced power of the Green Lotus Pupil's perspective was unable to see through the essence of the wall.

Driven by curiosity, Su Chen even used the Dragon Transformation Sword Intent to see if he could damage the wall.

But the result shocked him.

Because his sword intent, which even the gold-eating ants could not resist, could not even leave a mark on the dark wall.

This forced Su Chen to start doubting the origin of the wall.

Therefore, in the following period of time, Su Chen began to wander around the huge wall, using the Green Lotus Pupil to observe its entire appearance.

Not long after, a terrifying idea gradually emerged in Su Chen's mind.

That black wall... doesn't seem to be naturally formed!

It doesn't even seem to be a wall, but a slightly curved, huge pillar!

With this inference, Su Chen used his amazing memory to compare the black pillar with the body of the Cauldron Man.

Although he was shocked to find that the huge black pillar looked like part of the leg of a huge cauldron no matter how he looked at it!

Combined with the huge spiritual vein he saw under the mine and the black pillar that spread to the spiritual vein.

An astonishing picture finally emerged in his mind.

That is the so-called Kangding Peak, which perhaps does not just mean that the physical cultivators on this peak are accustomed to exercising by carrying a cauldron.

This also means that the mountain itself... is an extremely huge cauldron!

And the thing that is carrying this huge cauldron is the huge spiritual vein under the cauldron peak!

Using the cauldron to suppress the spiritual vein, they can seize the fortune of heaven and earth.

Su Chen didn't dare to imagine how powerful the people who built the Taichu Divine Sect must have been to be able to achieve such terrifying power that could almost move mountains and fill the sea.

A cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage...can he achieve this?

Su Chen expressed serious doubts about this.

You should know that Kangding Peak is several thousand meters high. It is the highest mountain in Taichu Divine Sect except for the main peak, Taichu Peak.

Su Chen believed that a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage could move a mountain hundreds of meters high.

He... didn't believe that a mountain thousands of meters long could be moved.

After knowing part of the truth about Kangding Peak, Su Chen suddenly thought of a long-standing secret in the sect.

That is the so-called Taichu Divine Sect, which has never represented a single sect. Maybe it is one sect with two mountain gates.

One is in heaven, the other is on earth.

Shock, big shock.

The moment this thought popped into his mind, he was scared by himself.

This not only means that Taichu Divine Sect is much more powerful than he imagined.

Moreover, even such a powerful Taichu Divine sect later encountered a catastrophe and disappeared in the long river of time.

This made Su Chen question his soul.

If this catastrophe even affected the Thirty-Three Heavens, then could he in the game remain unscathed?

After this thought came to mind, Su Chen seemed to feel a huge wave slowly approaching him.

There is no escape; nowhere to run.

To think of a solution, he had been in the mine for a whole day...

Inside the mine, Su Chen bit his fingernails subconsciously, his brain working rapidly.

This was a habit he had since his previous life, and he would only do this subconsciously when faced with extremely difficult problems.

After an unknown amount of time, his frown gradually relaxed.

He muttered to himself, "Any great changes in the world cannot happen in an instant. There must be some signs."

"And judging from Taichu Divine Sect's ability in the game, if they had discovered that sign, it would be impossible for them not to be prepared by now."

"So this should explain the era of the game I'm in. It should be on the eve of that catastrophe."

"Although the latest disciple I met in the dungeon was only the 75th generation, this does not mean that the Taichu Divine Sect was only passed down to the 75th generation before it was destroyed."

"After all, once a catastrophe strikes, the sect will not be able to bury the bodies of every disciple in the sect's tomb."

"So ideally, I should have at least a thousand years left to develop in the game."

"In a thousand years, at my current pace, even if I can't become god, I think it won't be long before I do."

"A thousand years, a thousand years..."

Su Chen muttered these words while lowering his right hand.

Then he raised his head and looked with determined eyes at the passage leading deep into the mine not far away.

"There are fifty great ways, forty-nine of which are derived from the heavens, and one of which can be escaped by humans. I... should still have a glimmer of hope."

"Because as long as nothing happens to me in the game, then the real me won't be affected."

"I'm in the game... I'm going to change my strategy."

"Foundation establishment. As long as I complete the Heavenly Dao foundation building and make sure I can protect myself from the Golden Elixir stage cultivators, I must go out of Taichu Divine Sect more often to gain experience faster and look for clues of the world-destroying catastrophe."

"Only if I know enough, I can better cope with it and survive the catastrophe as much as possible."

After figuring this out, Su Chen took a deep breath and stopped thinking about the question that made him feel cold all over.

A thousand years is long, but a thousand years is also short.

Because the game lasts ten years, and reality lasts one year.

Although he has a thousand years in the game, it is only a short hundred years in reality.

Although he is not in any danger in reality for the time being, if something happens to him in the game, he in reality will not be well either.

So the time left for him... is not that much.

"No matter what, within one year in reality and ten years in the game, I must complete the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment. I can't delay any longer."

"Time... waits for no one."

Su Chen didn't expect that he just wanted to come to the dungeon to happily gain some experience, but he accidentally discovered some shocking secrets.

This made his mood suddenly change from being relaxed to extremely heavy.

Sometimes knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing...

After putting those messy thoughts aside, Su Chen walked directly into the depths of the dungeon.

The secrets of the blue sky and the catastrophe of heaven and earth were all too far away for him now.

He must first seize the opportunity to block and improve his strength as much as possible.

And what he needs to do most right now is undoubtedly clear the dungeon in front of him.

Deep in the mine, after Su Chen walked out of the long and narrow mine tunnel, he finally came to a huge underground space.

In that space, an extremely huge iron chain was deeply embedded in the ceiling, seemingly connecting to something.

Around the iron chain, a large number of various cauldrons were placed in a special formation.

At the outermost edge are the largest number of black iron cauldrons, numbering approximately one thousand.

The second largest group is bronze cauldrons, of which there are about a hundred.

After that were the mithril cauldrons, about dozens of them.

Finally, placed in the center is a golden cauldron.

However, the golden cauldron was already tilted by half at this time, as if it would fall at any time.

Next to the golden cauldron, a thin mummy was carrying the golden cauldron, trying his best to maintain the delicate balance.

Su Chen looked at the mummy and keenly noticed something strange.

The mummy's hands had been mostly eroded by the fallen golden cauldron, and his knees on the ground had a lot of flesh and blood worn off, revealing his white bones.

Although Su Chen didn't know how long the mummy maintained the posture of carrying the cauldron, he knew that the mummy was almost reaching its limit.

Because a large amount of twisted flesh and blood had already condensed inside the golden cauldron, and many tumors had also grown around the cauldron.

It looked like it was about to transform into a cauldron man.

The Black Iron Cauldron Man is at the third level of the Qi gathering stage, and the Bronze Cauldron Man is at the sixth level of the Qi gathering stage.

Although Su Chen had never seen the Mithril Cauldron People for some reason, he thought that they were either in the ninth level of the Qi gathering stage or the foundation establishment stage.

And if this golden cauldron were to transform into a cauldron man, Su Chen conservatively estimated that it would be at the foundation-establishment stage at worst, or even... it might be able to reach a level comparable to the golden elixir stage.

Thinking of this, Su Chen immediately took out the black dragon sword and walked in the direction of the golden cauldron.

Because if he allowed the golden cauldron to completely transform into a Golden Cauldron Man, then even if he used a heretic path sword, it would probably be difficult to hurt it at all.

The power of the golden elixir is so strong.

After Su Chen approached the Mithril Cauldron area, the mummy that had been silent all this time... slowly spoke.

"Get out..."

These words seemed to consume a lot of the mummy's energy, so that its body was visibly pressed down a little by the golden cauldron, and the twisted flesh and blood inside the golden cauldron... increased a lot, speeding up the process of the cauldron's transformation into a cauldron man.

Su Chen looked at the mummy in silence, and information about it immediately appeared in front of Su Chen.
