Bi Fang
"You can give this Saint Rune Law to your father, Zhuo Xiaotian, for reference. It should be able to speed up his advancement to the Invincible Sovereign Lord realm," Xiao Hei said indifferently.
Zhuowen nodded and no longer looked at the runes on the wooden tablet. Instead, he kept it in his Spirit Ring. Just as Xiao Hei had said, his current cultivation was too low. It was impossible for him to comprehend the Saint Rune Law. Giving it to his father was the most appropriate choice.
Moreover, Zhuowen had a feeling that if he could pass the third level of the Azure Dragon Hall, he might be able to obtain the complete inheritance of the Azure Dragon Taoist, as well as the Saint Rune Law. After all, the Azure Dragon Taoist was a Celestial Saint existence. His Saint Rune Law was definitely very powerful.
The moment he put away the wooden tablet, a powerful aura suddenly filled the entire pavilion. Then, Zhuowen was stunned to find that the shabby praying mat floating in the middle of the pavilion was bursting with blazing light. The light then slowly condensed into a hunched figure.
It was an old man with a hunched back and a face full of wrinkles. However, his eyes were extremely sharp and emitted a terrifying light.
The old man stared at Zhuowen without saying a word. Instead, he stretched out his skinny right hand. Zhuowen was shocked to find that the jade cauldron in his Sea of Consciousness involuntarily flew out. The River Diagram contained within the jade cauldron, and a huge dragon horse stepped out. With a neigh, it appeared in the void while stepping on the yellow river.
"The complete River Diagram … and this jade cauldron?"
The light in the old man's eyes became even more intense. Then, his gaze moved down and landed on Zhuowen. He smiled and said, "This old man remembers that the River Diagram was incomplete. Did you complete the complete River Diagram?"
Zhuowen was secretly shocked. This old man was so powerful that he could silently summon the River Diagram and jade cauldron from his Sea of Consciousness. It was as if the old man was extremely familiar with the River Diagram.
After pondering for a moment, Zhuowen nodded and said, "I did complete the River Diagram. Senior, are you the master of the Emperor's Tomb?"
"Master of the Emperor's Tomb?
Interesting, you can call me that too. This entire tomb was indeed built by this old man.
Of course, my name is Bi Fang. You can call me Elder Bi. "The old man smiled faintly and revealed his identity.
"Elder Bi, the outside world is saying that you have fallen. Perhaps there is a problem with the rumors. You are not dead?" Zhuowen asked tentatively.
Elder Bi chuckled and said plainly, "You don't have to test me. I can tell you clearly that this is only a strand of my spirit. I'm already dead. This strand of spirit is only there to guide my successor."
"Can you tell me what happened in the Monarch Region and the Monarch Tomb?
Is it related to the Heavenly Insect Avatar? "
Zhuowen nodded his head when he heard Old Bi speak in such a manner. Immediately, he began to inquire about the matter back then.
"Oh?
You actually know about the Heavenly Insect? "
Elder Bi was startled. Soon after, his deep gaze focused on Zhuowen from afar. His eyes revealed a contemplative expression. Clearly, he was extremely surprised that Zhuowen actually knew about the Heavenly Insect. After all, this thing was not inferior to the Eastern Lands. It was unlikely that an ordinary person would know about it.
"Old fellow, Zhuowen knew about the Heavenly Insect because this dragon lord told him. There's no need to make a fuss."
Suddenly, a black light shot out from between Zhuowen's brows and revealed the appearance of Xiao Hei.
"You are … the Great Nether Saint Dragon?"
Elder Bi's gaze landed on Xiao Hei. He was initially startled, but soon after, he seemed to have thought of something. His gaze immediately became extremely interesting. However, his gaze quickly landed on the jade cauldron and muttered to himself in a low voice, "That's right, this child possesses this jade cauldron. No wonder you would follow by his side."
"Elder Bi, you recognize this jade cauldron?"
Hearing Elder Bi's muttering, Zhuowen narrowed his eyes and suddenly opened his mouth to ask.
Elder Bi nodded his head and said, "I have indeed heard of this jade cauldron. Back then, I even came out to search for this cauldron after reading some of the stories. However, I was unable to find it. This is because according to the legends, this cauldron was damaged in a great battle ten thousand years ago. After which, it fled into the distant void and disappeared without a trace."
"Then what kind of cauldron is this?" Zhuowen suddenly became nervous and asked in a deep voice.
It could be said that the reason why Zhuowen came to the Sky Armor Continent was inseparably related to this jade cauldron in his mind. Therefore, he was very curious about the origin of this cauldron.
"I am not very clear about the exact origin of this cauldron. I only know that this cauldron is called the Fuxi Cauldron.
There is also an ancient saying regarding this cauldron. Since you have perfected the River Diagram, you should also know this ancient saying, right? "Elder Bi smiled faintly and said.
"The River Diagram, the Luo Book, and the Saints follow." Zhuowen said in a deep voice.
"The River Diagram and the Book of Luo are two powerful formations. Back then, after I found the River Diagram and the Book of Luo by accident, I found out about the existence of the Fuxi Cauldron. Moreover, these two formations are a part of the Fuxi Cauldron. Therefore, I thought of searching for the Fuxi Cauldron. Unfortunately, I was unable to find it. Now that I have seen the Fuxi Cauldron after my death, I don't know if I am lucky or unlucky." Elder Bi smiled bitterly.
Zhuowen revealed a look of understanding. The damaged River Diagram was found by Mu Feng in this Emperor's Tomb. This place of inheritance of Elder Bi was protected by the Book of Luo's formation. It turned out that all of these were inseparable from his jade cauldron.
"Then, what is the relationship between this Fuxi Cauldron and Xiao Hei?" Zhuowen suddenly asked.
"Haha, the Great Nether Saint Dragon was extremely famous ten thousand years ago. It was said that he was the best friend of the owner of the Fuxi Cauldron …" Elder Bi shook his head. However, his gaze landed on Xiao Hei as he laughed.
Xiao Hei was silent for a moment. Then, she said indifferently, "It seems like you know quite a lot."
As she spoke, Xiao Hei looked at Zhuowen and said, "Kid!
Back then, this Dragon Lord said that I chose you because of this jade cauldron. Since it chose you, there must be a reason for it. That's why this Dragon Lord chose to follow you in the end. "
"I know. If it wasn't for you, I probably wouldn't have been able to reach this step.
However, what I'm curious about is, who exactly is the owner of the Fuxi Cauldron? "
Zhuowen's gaze landed on Xiao Hei. He knew that Xiao Hei definitely knew the identity of the owner of the Fuxi Cauldron.
"His name is Fuxi. During that great battle ten thousand years ago, he went missing. Even I don't know where that guy went." Xiao Hei shook her head. She was slightly sad as she said this.
Seeing Xiao Hei like this, he knew that Xiao Hei and that Fuxi were probably very close.
"Perhaps we might find some clues about Fuxi after entering the Central Plains." Zhuowen chuckled.
Xiao Hei nodded. Her eyes were filled with gratitude. She knew that Zhuowen had decided to help her find Fuxi.
"Old man, you've said so much nonsense. Why don't you tell me about the Imperial Region?
Also, it's not that easy to become an Arcane Saint Master. You actually managed to become an Arcane Saint Master in the Sea of Bitterness. Even I find it a bit inconceivable. Old man, you should have quite a few secrets on you, right? "Blackie said rather impolitely.
Elder Bi was slightly helpless. He said indifferently, "I'm not from the Sea of Misery. I'm from the Central Plains."
Zhuowen's eyes narrowed. He didn't expect that the owner of the tomb wasn't from the Sea of Misery, but from the Central Plains of the core region of the Heavenly Armor Continent.
"That's right. Becoming an Arcane Saint Master is even harder than becoming a Saint. In the entire Nine Netherworld Realm, there are probably less than a handful of people who can become Arcane Saint Masters. It's indeed very unusual for an Arcane Saint Master to appear in the Sea of Misery."
Xiao Hei nodded. She wasn't too surprised. This Elder Bi was able to recognize her identity as the Great Nether Saint Dragon and even recognized the Fuxi Cauldron. It was clear that this person was extraordinary. There might not be someone like her in the entire Eastern Plains.
This also meant that Xiao Hei's expression didn't change much after hearing Elder Bi say that he was from the Central Plains.
"In the Central Plains, only the Chaos Temple and the Four Great Battlefields can nurture Arcane Saint Masters. Which of these five forces do you come from?" Xiao Hei suddenly asked.
"The Chaos Temple." Elder Bi said indifferently.
"So it's the Chaos Temple. Then you're probably the one who brought the Sky Insect Avatar out of the Central Plains?" Xiao Hei suddenly asked in a deep voice.
Zhuowen became vigilant when he heard this. If what Xiao Hei said was true, then this Elder Bi should be the main culprit who brought the Sky Insect Avatar to the Sea of Misery.
Elder Bi smiled bitterly and said, "You're right. I was indeed the one who brought the Sky Insect Avatar. However, it wasn't intentional."
Perhaps because he sensed the vigilance on Zhuowen and Xiao Hei's faces, Elder Bi shrugged and said, "I'll tell you about what happened back then. Perhaps you'll understand my difficulties after hearing it."
"The main body of the Sky Insect was suppressed by the Chaos Temple and the Four Great Battlefields in the Central Plains. I, Bi Fang, am an Arcane Saint Master from the Chaos Temple. At the same time, I'm one of the people in charge of guarding the Sky Insect Seal …"
Elder Bi began to slowly narrate everything that happened back then. Just as he said, he was one of the people in charge of guarding the Sky Insect Seal in the Chaos Temple. His main responsibility was to reinforce the Sky Insect Seal. After all, the Sky Insect was just too powerful. If he didn't reinforce the seal regularly, it might find a loophole. At that time, the consequences would be unimaginable.
This kind of reinforcement of the seal required five Arcane Saint Masters each time. During the last reinforcement of the seal, the cunning Sky Insect actually released a weak avatar that possessed Elder Bi's robes.
Old Bi was completely unaware of this matter. After strengthening the seal for around three months, Old Bi finally discovered the Sky Worm Avatar that was attached to his body. However, the thing that caused Old Bi to be furious was that the Sky Worm had used some unknown method to merge with his physical body and merged into his flesh. It was already too late to expel it.
At that moment, Elder Bi realized the severity of the problem. He knew that if he continued to allow the Sky Insect Avatar to remain hidden in his body, there would be a day when he would be replaced by the Sky Insect Avatar. At that time, it would really be terrible.
However, at the same time, he didn't dare to tell this to the upper echelons of the Chaos Temple because the Chaos Temple was extremely cruel when it came to dealing with Sky Insects. If the upper echelons learned that he had been possessed by a Sky Insect, he would definitely die.
