Chapter 0724: The Sacred Cauldron of Heaven and Earth

Seeing the Yellow Dragon nod, everyone was overjoyed.
Had they obtained that supreme treasure from the Hongmeng realm?!
The Yellow Dragon noticed everyone’s expressions and said, “It’s just an ancient bronze cauldron.” After saying this, he hesitated for a moment before turning to Livia and saying, “However, after studying it along the way, I feel it’s missing something.” With that, he flashed his brows and brought out the ancient bronze cauldron stored in the Pavilion of Immortals.
As soon as the cauldron appeared, the grand hall lit up dramatically, its brightness increasing significantly, along with a vast, mysterious aura that pressed down on everyone, causing them to be shocked.
“What is this?!” Upon seeing the ancient bronze cauldron, Livia stood up abruptly, visibly disturbed. The Fire Sun Divine King was equally upset.
Seeing Livia’s reaction, the Yellow Dragon realized she must know about this cauldron.
“Livia, do you know the origin of this cauldron?!” the Yellow Dragon asked.
Livia then regained her composure, calmed her excitement, and nodded. “I do. This is the Sacred Cauldron of Heaven and Earth!” She took a deep breath, shook her head, and said regretfully, “But it’s not the complete Sacred Cauldron. To be precise, it’s only half of it!”
“Half of the Sacred Cauldron?!” The Yellow Dragon looked puzzled.
“That’s right,” said Fire Sun at that moment. “In the Hongmeng world, it’s said that the cauldron used by the Holy Lord of Hongmeng for alchemy is this very Sacred Cauldron. However, for some reason, it was split into two halves—the upper half being the Heavenly Cauldron and the lower half the Earthly Cauldron. Back then, the Heavenly Cauldron was acquired by one of the divine kings of the Hongmeng realm, while the Earthly Cauldron went missing. Over the years, the divine kings of the Hongmeng realm have been searching for it, never expecting it to be in the deepest layers of the River of Black and Yellow! No wonder they couldn’t find it no matter how hard they searched!”
Fire Sun spoke with astonishment.
The Sacred Cauldron of Heaven and Earth?! The cauldron used by the Holy Lord of Hongmeng for alchemy!
After hearing what Livia and Fire Sun said, the Yellow Dragon finally understood some of the cauldron’s origins. He hadn’t expected that what he had struggled so hard to obtain was merely half of this supreme treasure. No wonder he had felt something was missing throughout his studies!
So that’s how it is!
Half a circle?! The Yellow Dragon looked up at the ancient bronze cauldron high in the hall—this was the lower half. If combined with the upper half, the Heavenly Cauldron, it would form a complete circle?!
Frowning, he turned to Livia and asked, “The Heavenly Cauldron was acquired by one of the divine kings of the Hongmeng realm? I wonder where it is now?!”

This is what the Yellow Dragon cares most about. Half of a Hongmeng Supreme Treasure is utterly useless for defeating two corpses. Now, the Yellow Dragon can only find this Heavenly Cauldron and fully integrate it with it.
Livia understood the Yellow Dragon’s thoughts. Frowning, she said, “This Heavenly Cauldron is now the sacred cauldron of the Hongmeng Realm. It’s located within the Holy Temple of the Hongmeng Realm, a place even divine kings find difficult to enter by force. It will be hard for you to obtain this Heavenly Cauldron—unless!” She paused here.
The Yellow Dragon quickly asked, “Unless what?!”
At that moment, none of those in the grand hall, including Huang Yi, spoke. They all stared at Livia. Earlier, when they saw the Yellow Dragon nod in agreement that he could obtain the Hongmeng Supreme Treasure, they had been overjoyed, but now their joy had faded significantly.
“The Holy Temple of the Hongmeng Realm is situated in the Central Hongmeng Continent, at the heart of the three thousand divine realms of the Hongmeng Realm! Unless you can take control of the Hongmeng Continent, if you can control it, then you’ll naturally be able to enter the temple. This Heavenly Cauldron is the sacred cauldron of the Hongmeng Realm, and only the Hongmeng race that controls the Hongmeng Continent can use it!” Livia explained.
“Control the Hongmeng Continent!” The Yellow Dragon understood what Livia meant.
Previously, when he went to the Hongmeng Realm to find Divine King Huoyang, he had learned some things about it. Every hundred million years, the three thousand Hongmeng races compete once, and the victorious race gains control of the Hongmeng Continent!
When the Yellow Dragon last went to the Hongmeng Realm, the three thousand Hongmeng races were already preparing for the next competition in a hundred years! So, there was still nearly a hundred years left! Including the time needed to enter the Mysterious Yellow River, only a year had passed so far.
“Nearly a hundred years?” the Yellow Dragon murmured to himself.
A hundred years was but a blink of an eye for cultivators like the Yellow Dragon—it wasn’t long at all.
However, there was still one problem: controlling the Hongmeng Continent! To do that, one had to win the competition, but the Yellow Dragon wasn’t one of the three thousand Hongmeng races.
“You don’t need to worry about the competition,” Livia said, as if she could read the Yellow Dragon’s thoughts. “By then, our Silver Fox clan can help you!”
The Silver Fox clan was not only one of the three thousand Hongmeng races but also one of the five great powers in the Hongmeng Realm!
“Only…” Livia hesitated before continuing.
“Only what?!” the Yellow Dragon asked.
“Only that, though our Silver Fox clan is strong, we’re not necessarily confident enough to defeat the other three thousand Hongmeng races,” Livia added.
Although the Silver Fox clan was one of the five great powers in the Hongmeng Realm, their strength ranked last. Compared to the Thunder Roc clan and the Golden Ape clan, they were still somewhat inferior.

“What can we do then?!” At that moment, Huang Yi beside them couldn’t help but speak up, “If that’s the case, won’t Brother Huang Long fail to get that Heavenly Cauldron?”
Livia smiled and said, “Silly girl, I just said it’s not certain, but I didn’t say there’s no way.” With that, Livia turned to look at Huang Long and said with a smile, “Previously, our Silver Fox clan wasn’t confident, but this time with your second brother’s help, we have a 90% chance of success!”
“Second brother’s help?!” Huang Yi and the others turned to look at Huang Long.
Huang Long was stunned and said to Livia, “Are you saying I should represent the Silver Fox clan in the competition? But I’m not from the Silver Fox clan!”
Since Huang Long wasn’t from the Silver Fox clan, it would be impossible to hide his identity from clans like the Thunder Roc clan if he participated.
Livia smiled and said, “Don’t you have the art of transformation? You can transform into one of our clan’s elders. With your transformation skill, even my Silver Eye can’t tell the difference, nor can people like Felix, the leader of the Thunder Roc clan. Besides, only the supreme divine warriors of each clan are allowed to compete—divine kings cannot participate. Each clan can send five people!”
Divine kings cannot participate—only supreme divine warriors are allowed!
Previously, when Huang Long went to the Hongmeng Realm, he didn’t know about the rule that the 3,000 Hongmeng races competed to gain control of the Hongmeng Continent. Now that he heard about it, he was overjoyed. He knew his own strength—unbeatable beneath divine kings!
If that was the case, as Livia said, transforming into an elder of the Silver Fox clan to compete would indeed increase his chances of winning.
Of course, this only increased the chances! Livia said it was 90%!
“90%?” Huang Long thought to himself, a glint appearing in his eyes.
Anyway, he must get that Heavenly Cauldron!
