A mortal cultivating immortality can nurture spirit beasts.

Chapter 184 Kim Kyu-hyun

The two golden lights collided violently, and one of them was sent flying, transforming into a blue figure—it was Lin He!

His face was a little pale, obviously he had suffered a small loss in the previous exchange, but a hint of joy flashed across his face, because he suddenly had a copper coin in his hand.

This copper coin looks incredibly spiritual; it's clearly a top-tier ancient treasure with many uses. Otherwise, why would Lin He risk everything to snatch it?

Seeing that Lin He had actually managed to snatch the treasure from the bearded man, Mu Tengzi and Tian Wuzi exchanged a glance, both looking on with suspicion.

Was the bearded man's desperate stance just now, like the fake lightning Wan Tianming unleashed earlier, all an act? Otherwise, how could Lin He, a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stages, have withstood it?

The bearded man was also somewhat surprised. Although he hadn't used his full strength or any magic weapons, Lin He had actually managed to withstand his attack. This astonished the bearded man, and then his face lit up with excitement as he became eager to try.

"Good, very good!" The bearded man suddenly clapped his hands and laughed loudly. "This is getting interesting. I didn't expect you to be able to withstand my attack. It seems you have also practiced body-strengthening techniques. In that case, I'll have to have a good fight with you."

Looking at this belligerent bearded man, Lin He was speechless, but at the same time, he was also somewhat surprised.

With Lin He's current strength, which is based on body-tempering techniques, his physical body is far stronger than that of ordinary early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators. The Star Refining Golden Yuan Technique comes with corresponding body-tempering elixirs, and after constantly refining his body, coupled with the many Azure Spirit Pills he has consumed and the Spirit-Nourishing Talisman made from the essence of a level seven demon beast, Lin He is already very confident that he can compete with ordinary mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators with his physical strength alone.

However, the bearded man was clearly not an ordinary mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. He cultivated the number one defensive demonic art in the Chaotic Star Sea, and its power was indeed extraordinary. In the previous exchange, Lin He suffered a small loss, but that was just a simple contest of physical strength. If magic weapons, ancient treasures, spirit beasts, and corpse refining were added, Lin He would not be so scary.

Lin He was also intrigued by the bearded man's words. He had long wanted to test his skills against the Heavenly Demon Art and see just how powerful his physical body had become.

"Unfortunately—"

Lin He sighed inwardly, realizing that there was no point in fighting the Barbarian now, especially since the Star Palace was watching from the shadows.

Thinking of this, Lin He shook his head slightly and said, "Fellow Daoist Man, do you want to spar with me now? What a pity, now is not a good time."

The bearded man was taken aback upon hearing this, and then seemed to realize something, so he quickly looked towards the cave entrance.

At this moment, the two Blood Jade Spiders, together with seven or eight Golden Silkworms, pulled up the Void Heaven Cauldron. The blue light had already reached the cave entrance, and the cold air near the cave entrance was becoming increasingly terrifying. Clearly, the Void Heaven Cauldron—the number one secret treasure of the Chaotic Star Sea—was about to appear!

At this moment, the platform inside the light curtain shook violently, and then a dazzling blue flame finally began to appear at the entrance of the cave.

Although it was only a small amount, its power was truly extraordinary. As soon as it appeared, the entire platform, centered on the cave entrance, was covered with magnificent blue ice flowers. With a hiss, a strange blue frost began to spread and cover the entire platform.

Only the two Blood Jade Spiders and seven or eight Golden Silkworms remained unaffected by the blue light, staying on the high platform, while Lin He and Manhuzi had already flown to the sky.

Mu Tengzi and Tian Wuzi flew over and stood with Lin He. Wan Tianming also flew over and flew to the opposite side of Man Huzi without hesitation.

Nangong Wan and the other two also flew to the side of the barbarian bearded man. The righteous and demonic paths were clearly divided, and they looked like they were about to go to war. After all, everyone knew that as soon as the Void Heaven Cauldron appeared, an extremely fierce battle to seize the cauldron would follow.

"That must be the Azure Ice Flame. It's truly formidable. Even Nascent Soul cultivators like us dare not touch it."

Tian Wuzi looked at the strange blue flames and transmitted his voice to Lin He and the other two, his words filled with apprehension.

Wan Tianming also transmitted his voice, saying, "It is said that this Azure Ice Flame did not originally come from our realm, but was brought down by cultivators from the upper realm. It is understandable that it is so powerful."

Lin He quickly transmitted his voice and asked, "The Void Heaven Cauldron is about to be pulled up, but to retrieve it, we must first deal with the Azure Ice Flame. I wonder if Sect Master Wan has any solution?"

"Hehe! This sect leader has been planning this day for a long time, how could there be no way? You'll see soon enough."

"Old fox!" Lin He cursed under his breath when he saw that Wan Tianming still hadn't spoken up at this point.

At this moment, the bearded man and the others on the other side also moved their lips slightly, clearly communicating telepathically.

Several spirit beasts were still struggling to pull the Void Cauldron upwards, and it looked like it was about to appear, when suddenly the bearded man looked in a certain direction and shouted, "Who's there? Get out here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a golden hand flew out and headed in that direction. Suddenly, a figure appeared, and then that person also condensed a golden hand. The two hands collided and disappeared at the same time.

"Kim Kyu!"

"Star Palace!"

The man was dressed in a loose robe and wore a mask. He was none other than Jin Kui, the Grand Elder of the Star Palace, who was at the peak of the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm.

Everyone was startled to see Jin Kui, who glared angrily at the bearded man and said, "If it weren't for resisting the chill of this Dry Blue Ice Flame, how could you have discovered me?"

The bearded man sneered, "Jin Kui, didn't you say your Star Palace doesn't enter the inner palace? Why are you going back on your word?"

Jin Kui chuckled and said nonchalantly, "If you couldn't take the cauldron, I certainly wouldn't have bothered. But I didn't expect you to have found spirit beasts like the Blood Jade Spider and the Golden Silkworm, which are already able to pull the Void Heaven Cauldron. Of course, I can't let you take the cauldron."

Upon hearing this, the bearded man flew into a rage, looking as if he was about to attack. Qing Yi, who had been pondering ever since Jin Kui appeared, suddenly realized something and exclaimed in alarm, "Wait! There's one more person! Watch out for the Blood Jade Spider and the Golden Silkworm!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a figure suddenly appeared in a certain place; it was Elder Jia Chenjia, who was wearing a mask.

Elder Jia waved his hand, and two white streaks flew out, slashing towards the two blood jade spiders respectively.

Bai Hong was too fast, and she took advantage of Jin Kui attracting everyone's attention to launch a surprise attack.

Just as the two white streaks were about to hit the two Blood Jade Spiders, a blue figure suddenly appeared. It was Lin He, who was prepared.

Lin He raised his hand, and two red flying sword magic weapons appeared, easily blocking the two incoming white rainbows.

Everyone was greatly surprised to see this, but then they were filled with rage. If Lin He hadn't been on guard, the two Blood Jade Spiders would already be dead, and the Void Heaven Cauldron would be out of the question.

Thinking of this, the bearded man quickly said, "Wan Tianming, let's join forces to deal with the Star Palace first, and then each of us can take the cauldron based on our own abilities. What do you think?"

Wan Tianming chuckled and flew directly to the bearded man's side. "Of course, no problem! Jin Kui, I'd also like to experience your skills firsthand!"

Jin Kui glared fiercely at Lin He, his face ashen.

At the same time, Nangong Wan, Qing Yi, Ji Yin, Lin He, Mu Tengzi, and Tian Wuzi had already surrounded the pitiful Elder Jia.
