He confessed his love for his master in his later years, and his cheat ability finally arrived.

After the sect leader Yun Quezi left, only Ji Jiufeng remained in the entire Sky City.

The vast palace hovered silently amidst the turbulent flow of time and space, appearing exceptionally desolate at this moment.

Ji Jiufeng's eyes blazed with crimson flames, her gaze piercing through layers of spatial barriers as she looked toward the small courtyard where Lu Changsheng was.

When she saw that Lu Changsheng was still fast asleep, snoring peacefully, her cold and aloof face melted away, and she smiled sweetly.

At this moment, the entire Sky City became exceptionally bright, and the sky and earth gained color.

Boom!

The next instant, before Ji Jiufeng could react, the void above her head shattered with a deafening roar, and rosy mist billowed out.

Swish!

A beam of celestial light descended from the sky, enveloping Ji Jiufeng's body, piercing through the void, and reaching the vast and mysterious Little Immortal Realm.

Tears welled up in her eyes; this parting might be...

It will be difficult to see each other again!

Fortunately, all of this was within Ji Jiufeng's expectations. Before approaching Lu Changsheng, she had already anticipated such consequences.

So she made arrangements early on for her other disciple, Xie Ling'er, Lu Changsheng's junior sister, to take good care of Lu Changsheng, fulfilling his long-cherished wish.

Ji Jiufeng took one last, lingering look at Lu Changsheng, then wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. Her eyes revealed an unprecedented resolve and killing intent as she forcefully charged into the Lesser Immortal Realm with her sword in hand.

In fact, Ji Jiufeng was willing to enter the Lesser Immortal Realm not only to ensure that her master, Yun Quezi, would not harm Lu Changsheng, but there was another more important reason.

That is the rumor that there is a Nine-Turn Golden Pill hidden in the Lesser Immortal Realm, which can enable cultivators to break through their cultivation realm on the spot.

Ordinary people who consume it can prolong their lives and increase their lifespan by a hundred years!

Lu Changsheng only has less than a year to live, so Ji Jiufeng obtained the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir within a year and broke out of the Lesser Immortal Realm.

Just because others can't do it doesn't mean Ji Jiufeng can't!

......

He didn't know how long he had slept, but Lu Changsheng felt refreshed and invigorated.

My back doesn't hurt anymore, my back doesn't ache, and when I look down...

My God, this...

Lu Changsheng was completely stunned. He was over eighty years old; logically speaking...

"It seems I was wrong after all. In embarking on the path of cultivation, I have delayed myself and my master for decades!"

If he had known that the balance of Yin and Yang could make people younger, why would Lu Changsheng have endured it until now?

Thinking of this, Lu Changsheng gritted his teeth and cursed loudly:

"Yun Quezi, you old scoundrel! You broke up a loving couple! You'll die a horrible death! You..."

Before Lu Changsheng could finish speaking, another aged voice suddenly rang in his mind:

"That old guy is definitely not a good person; he just tried to kill you."

wow——

Lu Changsheng shuddered and became listless.

"Who?!"

"Who's speaking? Is it a person or a ghost?"

Lu Changsheng broke out in a cold sweat and quickly got up to look around, but all he could see was barren land stretching for miles, shrouded in darkness.

"Where am I? This isn't my room at all!"

"Lark! It must have been you, you old bastard, who did this!"

Realizing what was happening, Lu Changsheng instantly understood everything and immediately pointed at the empty space in front of him, cursing loudly:

"Don't put on an act in front of me. My master and I are mutually in love and truly in love. What right do you have to break us up?"

Others may fear Yun Quezi, but Lu Changsheng is not.

Whether you stick your neck out or pull it back, you'll still get stabbed.

Even if Yun Quezi doesn't kill him, he won't live much longer.

"I'm telling you right now, I slept with my master, so what? Kill me if you want! Even if you frown, I'll change my surname to yours!"

After Lu Changsheng finished cursing and calmed down completely, that familiar and aged voice resounded in his mind once again.

"You brat... no! I should say you old codger, you've got guts!"

As they spoke, a small, ancient, rusty cauldron appeared out of thin air before Lu Changsheng. As the cauldron opened and closed, a deep voice rang out once more:

"You even dare to curse someone as supreme as Yun Quezi, so following you wouldn't be a disgrace to my reputation."

"..."

Can the little tripod talk?

Lu Changsheng was stunned. When he came to his senses, he realized that the small cauldron in front of him was the same one that had brought him from Earth to this world of cultivation. He immediately wailed and cried, tears and snot streaming down his face.

"I knew it! I knew it!"

"Your broken cauldron is definitely extraordinary! It's absolutely a treasure!"

"Where the hell have you been all these decades? Do you even know how I've lived these past few decades? Do you even know how I've lived?!"

"......"

The spirit of the Devouring Heaven Cauldron was completely dumbfounded as it watched Lu Changsheng, who was experiencing extreme highs and lows, crying one moment and laughing the next.

However, faced with Lu Changsheng's constant criticism, the Devouring Heaven Cauldron also lost its temper. After a moment of silence, it immediately retorted:

"How do you live? You're always following that beauty Ji Jiufeng around, eating and drinking the best food you can get, doing absolutely nothing, and nobody dares to mess with you. And you still have a problem with that?"

"..."

Lu Changsheng was taken aback. He wanted to retort, but upon closer reflection, Xiao Ding seemed to be right, but...

"But two people who love each other can't be together!"

"You two are always glued together, and you even run that girl's bathwater every day!"

"..."

"I mean, two people who love each other can't be together...doing the things they love!"

"Blame me? You were scared by that old bastard Yun Quezi, and you didn't dare to do what you wanted to do. What a coward!"

At this point, the Devouring Cauldron had an even stronger opinion than Lu Changsheng:

"If you had been even a fraction braver, and had slept with that girl sooner, I wouldn't have been asleep for decades. Why would I have only woken up now?"

"..."

Lu Changsheng was stunned, bursting into tears. Hearing this broken little cauldron say that, did he realize he had endured all these decades for nothing?

"My name is Tuntian, and I am the spirit of the Tuntian Cauldron."

"After my body was damaged, I chose you on Earth and used my last bit of strength to travel to this other world."

Seeing that Lu Changsheng had calmed down, the Devouring Heaven Cauldron began to recount everything:

"During my journey, I encountered a spacetime storm. In order to protect you, I almost shattered the cauldron and scattered my spirit. Although I eventually arrived safely in this other world, I also fell into a deep sleep."

"My awakening requires a massive amount of spiritual energy, so all the spiritual energy you've absorbed over the past few decades has been absorbed by me. But with your abilities, the spiritual energy you've absorbed is far too meager. Even after another four or five hundred years, you still won't be able to awaken me, until..."

"It wasn't until you pushed that girl down and used the massive amount of spiritual energy within her that I was fully revived."

"..."

clap clap!

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng immediately slapped himself twice.

Those who remain unmoved by a woman's advances are not gentlemen at all, but pure bastards!

Why did you choose me?

Lu Changsheng covered his reddened face, looked at the small, broken cauldron in front of him, and immediately pressed for an answer:

"And also, in all these decades... couldn't you give me a hint on how to seduce Ji Jiufeng?"

"And you said your body was damaged. You were able to bring me through time, you're that strong, how could you be damaged?"

Whether it was because he had been holding it in for too long or because he felt guilty, the Devouring Cauldron answered all of Lu Changsheng's questions without reservation.

"I chose you because you are born in harmony with the Great Dao, possessing a unique innate Dao body that is one in ten thousand. With your help, I have hope of reshaping my body and restoring my peak."

"..."

"As for why I didn't give you a hint, I am a spirit of the artifact. The Devouring Heaven Cauldron was already broken and fell into a deep sleep. I can only occasionally sense the outside world and cannot transmit any information to you."

"Although the Devouring Heaven Cauldron is powerful, it is still a weapon spirit. Moreover, there are always people stronger than you, and heavens beyond heavens. Even a supreme being like Yun Quezi, a giant of the immortal realm, is like an ant before a true powerhouse, easily defeated with a flick of the finger..."

Before the Devouring Heaven Cauldron could finish speaking, Lu Changsheng suddenly realized something and forcefully interrupted:

"Wait! You mean I, this old man,..."

"I do have spiritual roots, so I can cultivate?"

"..."

"If you cannot cultivate, why did I choose you? Just to have you slumber for these past few decades in vain?"

"My master clearly examined my body, and even that old bastard Yun Quezi..."

Over the past few decades, Ji Jiufeng has gone to great lengths to get Lu Changsheng onto the path of cultivation, using every kind of elixir and rare treasure imaginable.

Even that old fellow Yun Quezi tried to intervene, but in the end, all that was left was a series of helpless sighs.

"Innate Dao bodies are rare to begin with. Before the Dao body awakens, it's as if one has no spiritual root."

"Furthermore, since the spiritual energy you absorb from other people is all absorbed into the Devouring Heaven Cauldron, it naturally creates the illusion that you cannot cultivate. This is also a form of protection I provide for you!"

"..."

Although he felt like a million grass mud horses were galloping through his mind, Lu Changsheng was still so excited that he beat his chest and stamped his feet when he learned that he could cultivate.

Especially after witnessing immortals flying on swords, opening the gates of heaven with their swords, moving mountains and filling seas, and ascending to immortality, how could one not yearn for it?

To ride the flying immortals and roam freely, to embrace the bright moon and live forever—what a carefree and unrestrained life that would be!

"Then what kind of spiritual root do I have?"

Once he realized what was happening, Lu Changsheng quickly pressed for an answer.

"A unique individual with all spiritual roots!"

"All spiritual roots? What kind of spiritual root is that? Aren't spiritual roots just things like metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, light, and darkness?"

Having lived in the Shangyun Heavenly Palace for decades, although he couldn't cultivate, Lu Changsheng still knew the basic common sense about cultivation.

"A complete spiritual root means..."

Unexpectedly, the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron changed its tune halfway through its sentence:

"Someone's coming!"

After speaking, before Lu Changsheng could react, the Devouring Heaven Cauldron transformed into a stream of light once more, disappearing into his dantian and falling into complete silence.

At the same time, Lu Changsheng suddenly felt a sharp pain in his face.

When consciousness returned to his body and he opened his eyes, he found a jade-like foot constantly stepping on his old face.

"Holy shit..."

Lu Changsheng flew into a rage, reached out and grabbed the jade foot in his palm, then pulled it forcefully.

"Ouch~"

With a soft groan, a mischievous little girl with pigtails, wearing a light blue dress, fell straight onto the bed and into Lu Changsheng's arms.

"Senior brother, what are you doing?"

"Why did you get me into bed?"
