The black robe that had been beating on his body earlier had also quieted down. As a cultivator who focused on physical training, his body's tolerance for spiritual energy was undoubtedly much stronge...Although Lu Xiaoteng wasn't the type to hold grudges, being tricked by Yuanshi Jianmo in the Zhending Buddhist Sect affair made him want to get his revenge. However, from Kong Ming's tone, it seemed that even Yuanshi Jianmo himself was in seclusion. This major event didn't even warrant his personal involvement, showing how crucial his seclusion must be. The world only knew about the Sword Embryo incident and its mastermind, but no one had ever known Yuanshi Jianmo's whereabouts. If Kong Ming hadn't mentioned it personally, they wouldn't even know his name: Yuanshi Jianmo.

Finding the Primal Sword Demon is no easy feat. In comparison, Kong Ming also needs to rely on the Sky Void Cauldron to induce a spatial vortex in the Buddhist Sect and rescue Xiang Qingcheng and Dong Fang Yi's affairs mostly fall onto this Sky Void Cauldron.

On the one hand, Lu Xia Tian had already sent people to investigate everything about Kong Tian Ding. On the other hand, he started researching the actual use of Kong Tian Ding directly.

This Sky-Piercing Cauldron is truly a rare treasure. Forcibly storing it in the Sumeru Ring caused the ring itself to suffer, and when it was taken out, the Sumeru Ring was already broken in half, unusable.

As soon as Kong Tian Ding left the Sumeru Ring, it struggled desperately, trying to escape.

"When the emptiness of that day was present, you were still unable to move. Now you want to leave, it's a fantasy." Lu Xia Tian pointed his finger, a ray of light encircled the Kongtian Ding, this ray of light was like a rope, tightly binding the Kongtian Ding, and it was constantly expanding. In a moment, it had covered the entire Kongtian Ding. The Kongtian Ding shook violently in the air, looking defiant. It still wanted to break free.

Lu Xiaotian’s wisp of divine consciousness arbitrarily chose a location, wanting to forcefully enter the Kongtian Ding. Unexpectedly, the Kongtian Ding was guarded like an impenetrable wall, not leaking even the slightest flaw.

That wisp of divine consciousness was directly blasted out. Lu Xia Tian wasn't discouraged. There wasn't a single impenetrable wall in the world, let alone within influential families. This Kongtian Ding, just like any other treasure, had its flaws. It might be well-protected, but that didn't mean it was invincible. It simply required more effort to break through compared to other treasures.

Since the Voidbringer can control the Empyrean Cauldron, there must be a way to strike it down.

Through repeated probes, it felt as if the outer layer of the Kongtian Ding was like a turtle shell. His divine sense was almost immediately repelled upon contact. Lu Xiaoteng moved his thoughts, and the Fan Luo Heavenly Fire followed that wisp of light upward, covering the exterior of the Kongtian Ding in flames in an instant. The flames fluctuated, sometimes strong, sometimes weak, with no fixed pattern.

Although the power of Brahma's heavenly fire is greater than it was at this time, and its lethality against enemies is more incisive, its fiery intensity is more fierce and violent. This kind of meticulous detail would be more suitable for using Brahma's heavenly fire.

Burning with the Brahma Heavenly Fire for years, there was no pause in between. Even during the time when Lu Xiaoteng cultivated and comprehended other techniques, the fire continued unabated.

Then one day, a slight tremor appeared in the Fan Luo Heavenly Fire that encircled the Sky-Empty Cauldron. It seemed to ripple slightly. If not for Lu Xia Tian's powerful primordial spirit, he would have almost missed this subtle fluctuation.

As this slight tremor occurred, the airtight Sky and Earth Cauldron, which had been impenetrable, seemed to show a gap. Lu Xiaitian’s divine sense took advantage of this and slipped in. However, the interior of the Sky and Earth Cauldron seemed to be a chaotic space. With spatial fissures churning within, as soon as Lu Xiaitian’s divine sense entered, it was like being severed by a spatial fissure. That strand of divine sense instantly lost all connection.

“This was a fierce counterattack from the Kongtian Ding.” Lu Xia Tian’s eyes turned cold, but he wasn’t afraid of this counterattack from the Kongtian Ding. He was more afraid that the opponent would remain unresponsive. A counterattack meant that the Kongtian Ding’s foundation had been shaken. With Lu Xia Tian’s current powerful soul power, he didn’t mind losing a trace of his divine consciousness. It wasn't entirely a loss, just being isolated by the restrictions within the Kongtian Ding. As long as he could unlock the restrictions within the Kongtian Ding, that trace of divine consciousness could still be retrieved.

The flames of the Brahma Inferno continued to burn the Empyrean Cauldron. The Empyrean Cauldron was indeed an extraordinary magic treasure, but even the most powerful artifact would ultimately lose its might without the presence of emptiness or the control of a being like Yuan Shi Jian Mo.

Since a crack had been pried open, there would be a second time. Lu Xiaotian patiently waited. As expected, the same situation occurred again. Another strand of his divine consciousness was lost.

After numerous such attempts, spanning several months, Lu Xia Tian forcibly refined the tortoise-shell like barrier encasing the Kongtian Ding.

"Unexpectedly, Lord Lu Dan has actually broken the seal. Lord Lu Dan's primordial spirit is so powerful, it is rarely seen in the world!" Inside the Kongtian Ding, it seemed like an endless void. In that void, a virtual shadow appeared. The shadow was hazy and indistinct, resembling emptiness but not entirely so.

"Should I call you Kongming, Yuanshi Jianmo, or simply one of your divine consciousnesses" Lu Xia Tian's primordial spirit stood facing the ethereal shadow.

"I am myself, yet not myself. To you, who I am matters little. What I did not expect was that besides your lotus incarnation, the other two women would fight for you and the Buddhist sect, ruining my plans." The ethereal shadow said.

"Your wit and intelligence are comparable to Ye Qianxin from back then, but you both get too caught up in calculations. The way of life follows one's true heart; how can calculations possibly encompass that"

Lu Xia Tian shook his head. This Yuanshi Jianmo was a master of the Jiantai Dao, having achieved great success in this realm. It wasn't surprising that he could see through the origins of the lotus avatar.

"Ye Qianxun Just someone who cultivated the Swallowing Abyss Sword Embryo. If it weren't for her potential, which is somewhat passable, allowing her to perhaps reach further in the Sword King realm, this deity would have already taken her life." The Primordial Sword Demon said dismissively.

"This seat mobilized dozens of Mahayana realm experts to battle within the Buddhist sect. Such a scene is extremely rare, and even if you control the Kongtian Ding, how could you gather so many Mahayana cultivators"

"You don't know until you try." Even though Lu Xia Tian knew what Yuan Shi Jian Mo said wasn't necessary, he led a group of great cultivators and Buddhist masters into battle with the enemy. There was both coincidence and calculation in this.

Under the heavens, no other immortal sect's strength could reach the level of the Zhuzhu Buddha Sect. And Dongfang Yi, Xiang Qingcheng, and the Heavenly Demon Lord had all fallen into the spatial vortex, while the Ghost Ant King had been slain by him. Even in the Crimson Moon Desert, it was impossible to gather such a large force again.

No matter what, we must do everything in our power to rescue Yingcheng and Dongfang Yi.

As Lu Xia Tian finished speaking, his primordial spirit flickered. A soul-binding net shot towards Yuan Shi Jian Mo's ethereal shadow in the void. Even though Yuan Shi Jian Mo was powerful, at this time, within the Kong Tian Ding, he was merely a wisp of his divine sense. Since Lu Xiao Tian's divine consciousness entered the Kong Tian Ding, his fate had already been sealed.

As a proud swordsman of the Yuan Shen Jian, he naturally refused to be captured by Lu Xia Tian's divine consciousness. After resisting with the Kong Tian Ding for a while, the illusory shadow finally turned into a wisp of blue smoke and self-destructed, disappearing without a trace.

Lu Xia Tian repeatedly refined the Kongtian Ding, and finally completely subdued it.
