The Nine Cauldrons - Chapter 591 - Pei San’s Arrival
“The Omnipotent Stone Tablet?” A cold glint flashed in Pei San’s eyes, revealing an intimidating aura. It was like the light that was reflected off a scary blade.
The elder of the western region and the two ladies of the western regions, who were standing at the gate of the Heavenly Palace, were frightened by the murderous aura emanated by Pei San. The two ladies’ legs even became shaky. When Meng Dujuan saw this, she was slightly confused and said softly, “Sovereign, let’s enter the Heavenly Palace first.”
“Mhmm.”
Pei San nodded his head and led Meng Dujuan into the Heavenly Palace.
…
The second floor of the Heavenly Palace was very spacious but very empty. There was only a red carpet in the room. Pei San sat cross-legged while Meng Dujuan sat at the side like a well-behaved girl.

“Jin Sheng is very interesting!” Pei San smiled.
“Sovereign, what did this Jin Sheng do?” asked Meng Dujuan.
Over the time of twenty years, Meng Dujuan had been following Pei San. Even though she was not given any status, the Heavenly God Palace had already seen Meng Dujuan as Pei San’s woman. After so many years of being together, Pei San had become very close to this personal female assistant.
“Dujuan, look at this,” Pei San laughed as he passed the letter.
Meng Dujuan took the letter. As she read the letter, her face was filled with astonishment.
Meng Dujuan knew exactly what the Omnipotent Stone Tablet was… A while ago, a man named Jin Sheng, who was a golden-masked Emptiness Realm Expert that came from the faraway Barbarian Temple, visited the Heavenly Palace and resided here for a very long time. During that time, Pei San only asked a few questions and immediately confirmed that the golden-masked Emptiness Realm Expert was just an elder of the Barbarian Tribe Temple.
Therefore, he treated the golden-masked Emptiness Realm Expert very well.
After meeting for a few times, Jin Sheng mentioned that there was a stone tablet that once belonged to the Poetic Sword God Li Taibai. After he became an Omnipotent Expert, he carved his learnings on this stone tablet. Li Taibai was known to be a genius in the study of calligraphy and poems. Obviously, the calligraphy written on the stone tablet by the talented and poetic Li Taibai wouldn’t be anything close to ordinary.
Meng Dujuan also knew that Pei San really desired the stone tablet.
“The Godly Codices only contained techniques and descriptions that were left by our ancestors,” Pei San sighed, “However, Li Taibai’s calligraphy had ruled the world. One could sense his Omnipotent Dao through his calligraphy. If I can obtain that stone tablet or even just get a glimpse of the mysterious stone tablet…”
Pei San was not aware that in the distant Moon Island, there was a stone wall called ‘Celestial Jade Wall’.
“Sovereign, it’s Teng Qingshan… Are you really thinking about…”Meng Dujuan hesitated before questioning..
“Dujuan, what’s your opinion?” smiled Pei San.
Meng Dujuan shook her head and said, “I don’t know… The mother of Phoenix has Teng Qingshan’s back. It will be a troublesome task.”
Pei San smiled slightly and said nothing.
…
In the morning of the second day.
“Caw!” A high-pitched tweet sounded. In the ancient kingdom of Dashear, an enormous Godly Hawk ascended as a yellow cloaked figure followed behind, leaping up into the sky. The yellow cloaked figure descended on the bird’s back. The yellow-cloaked figure was Pei San. He was seen smiling as he placed his feet on the Godly Thunderbolt Hawk. At the same time, he emitted the sound of a bird.
The Godly Thunderbolt Hawk, which had understood the instruction, transformed into a lightning bolt. With the sound of a thunderbolt, it instantly vanished into the horizon of the south-eastern sky.
In Xing Yi Sect, Great Yan Mountain:
Currently, it was the time of growth. The entire Xing Yi Sect was brimming with growth. The inhaling and exhaling voices and sounds of the hundred thousand disciples cultivating could be heard in the entire Great Yan Mountain.
“Huh!”
“Hah!”
Dressed in an undershirt, Hongwu was cultivating in the training ground of the East Flower Garden. His wife Xiao Ru watched as she sat at the side, smiling sweetly from time to time.
“Brother Hongwu, rest for a while and continue later,” Xiao Ru passed a cup of tea as she saw that her husband had stopped.
“No, I’m fine.”
After drinking the cup of tea, Hongwu wiped away the sweat on his forehead and smiled while shaking his head, “I have only trained for one hour. I don’t need to rest. Look at my father…he’s been in the cultivation room for twelve days and he’s still training inside there.” After Lei Xiaoru heard this, she nodded and looked towards the enormous cultivation room that was specially constructed.
The huge, black, tightly sealed cultivation room looked just like a giant furnace.
Boom! Boom!
A faint vibration sounded in the cultivation room. This sound sent chills down people’s spine.
…
The cultivation room was shut tight by a huge stone door. Although the door was closely shut, a faint ray of light still shone through the creak of the door. Through the dim ray of light, a blurred figure could be seen.
“Boom!””Swoosh!”
Sounds of thunder and fierce wind sounded from time to time.
One could faintly see a half-naked figure, wearing long pants, cultivating continuously. He constantly practiced the same technique, the Three Postures. As he continued practicing, the drops of perspiration on his entire body evaporated as surrounding gas.
As he formed his preparation posture, the air in the entire cultivation room rushed towards Teng Qingshan.
He took a step and took a punch forward.
He took a step forward and the entire cultivation room trembled. The moment he released his punch, the air in the surrounding began vibrating. It was as though the god of thunder had unleashed his anger.
He repeated the moves.
The preparation posture, the step forward, and the punch. This sequence of movements would repeat again and again.
The first posture stored energy and the last unleashed an explosive force.
Something that was like an endless life force emerged continually, accumulating infinite energy. One might think that when the infinite energy was released, the world would be destroyed! Teng Qingshan, who could be faintly seen practicing his fist technique in the dark cultivation room, was like Pangu in the midst of the primal chaos. He continued accumulating energy and releasing this force.
“Boom!” Teng Qingshan punched again.
This was the ninth time practicing the Three Postures since he started his closed-door cultivation. This ninth practice of the Three Postures had been going on for over four hours without stopping.
While Teng Qingshan was in the dark, he prepared his posture. His eyes appeared calm like the surface of a rippleless lake. However, the moment he stepped forward and punched, his eyes turned ferocious like the eyes of a wild beast that was about to tear the world apart. The eyes, the aura, and the temperament changed continually depending on his moves. Occasionally, the aura was brimming with vitality, while occasionally, the aura conveyed a killing intent, an urge for destruction.
“I can feel it!”
“To make a breakthrough and achieve great success in the Insightful Emptiness Realm, I must first find the way to transform the Five Elemental Daos into the Dao of Life and Death through the cultivation of the Three Postures.” Teng Qingshan thought to himself, “Fortunately, when I achieved the Emptiness Realm, I had understood the Dao of Life and Death. I just need to know how I can transform the Five Elemental Powers of the World into the Powers of Life and Death.
Actually, while Teng Qingshan was practicing his fist art, especially when he was practicing the Three Postures during this closed-door cultivation, he had a pleasant discovery.
While he was practicing the Three Postures, the five colored powers that flowed in his Niwan Palace in the form of something like liquid mercury actually produced a cloud of black smoke. He could distinctly sense that the Powers of the World in the black smoke was even more concentrated than the Five Colored Powers of the World!
At that moment, Teng Qingshan realized that he needed to transform the Five Elemental Powers of the World into the Powers of Life and Death.
“It was just as I expected. For thousands of years, the Three Postures had been used by the senior disciples of Xing Yi Martial Art to figure out the origin of all forces.” Teng Qingshan thought to himself, “It is indeed marvelous and profound.”
“I just need to advance one more step and I will be able to achieve great success in the Insightful Emptiness Realm.
Teng Qingshan kept on training, trying to learn the secret of the Three Postures.
Since he first started learning the Internal Martial Arts in his previous life until the time when he reached the Insightful Emptiness Realm, Teng Qingshan felt that he always gained something whenever he practiced the Three Postures.
“Swoosh~~” The fierce wind blew and gathered between Teng Qingshan’s hands in the form of a small tornado.
“Boom!”
It burst open once again.
Teng Qingshan was like a god, training continuously in the dark cultivation room, causing the cultivation room to shake repeatedly.
Suddenly, he stopped and the roaring sound and the sound of wind all stopped.
“Hmmm? Why is Pei San here?” Teng Qingshan scanned the surrounding with the Power of his World and discovered the presences of two Emptiness Realm Experts. One was the Godly Thunderbolt Hawk. When Teng Qingshan tried to scan even further for the appearance of the other Emptiness Realm Expert, Teng Qingshan’s Power of the World was resisted and countered by the other person’s Power of the World. And so, he was unable to see the person’s appearance. However, because of how peculiar the other person’s Power of the World is, Teng Qingshan immediately deduced that the person was Pei San, the Sovereign of Heavenly God Palace.
Since Pei San was here, there would be no time for cultivation.
The drops of perspiration on Teng Qingshan’s body evaporated immediately. Teng Qingshan then wore his clothes and the Reincarnation Inner Armor. He held the Reincarnation Spear as he opened the huge stone door of the cultivation room.
…
“Swoosh!”
The Godly Thunderbolt Hawk rushed down from above and flew directly towards the East Flower Garden of Xing Yi Sect.
“Who…who is that?”
“An Insightful Emptiness Realm Expert?”
Pei San, who initially had a calm expression, appeared shocked. “Xing Yi Sect does not have an Insightful Emptiness Realm Expert. How…”
“Who is it? It is obvious that the Power of his World had reached the level of small success in the Insightful Emptiness Realm. It can’t be Teng Qingshan. Even if Teng Qingshan had reached the Insightful Emptiness Realm, it is impossible for him to gain small achievements in the Insightful Emptiness Realm within such a short time.” When Teng Qingshan’s son got married, Teng Qingshan did not send out invitations to all the other sects. After all, it was just his son’s marriage. It was not a celebration of an establishment of a sect, and so, it was not necessary to invite all the powerful experts in the Land of the Nine Prefectures.
During the past twenty years, Pei San had only visited during the celebration of the founding of Xing Yi Sect. He had never come during other times. Therefore, he had no idea that Teng Qingshan had reached the Insightful Emptiness Realm.
The information he collected only told him that Teng Qingshan was at the level of Emptiness Realm or had only reached Emptiness Realm Culmination not long ago.
“Yu!””Roar!”
The two Emptiness Realm Demonic Beasts gathered outside the cultivation room in the East Flower Garden. One was the scale armored Six Legged Bladelike Chi with red eyes and the Undying Phoenix, whose entire body was enveloped by flames. The two Emptiness Realm Demonic Beasts cautiously glared at the Godly Thunderbolt Hawk and Pei San, who had landed outside the cultivation room.
Pei San stared at the stone doors of the cultivation room.
“Rumble!” the two stone doors opened and a figure, which seemed blur in the darkness, walked out. He was dressed in white and held a Red Tasseled Spear in his hand.
“Father!”
“Qingshan!”
Li Jun and Hongwu walked over.
“Teng Qingshan, it is you?” Pei San looked at Teng Qingshan, dumbfounded. He had always thought that Teng Qingshan was very talented. However, when Teng Qingshan was unable to make a breakthrough in the cultivation of the Wood Elemental Dao, Pei San was secretly disappointed as well, thinking that Teng Qingshan still struggled in the end.
“Teng Qingshan had just achieved Emptiness Realm Culmination not long ago…” Pei San thought to himself.
“Sovereign Pei,” Teng Qingshan waved his hand and smiled, “I wonder why Sovereign Pei is paying me a visit.”
Pei San smiled slightly.
Swoosh!
His figure disappeared immediately.
