Chapter 149 The Four Walls of the Heaven-Refining Cauldron
In the dark cave, the air was damp, the surrounding rock walls were covered with moss, and the faint light shone through the cave entrance, creating a gloomy scene.
Mo Ming stood at the edge of the cave entrance, extremely vigilant. The cold laughter of Vista echoed in his ears, seemingly reverberating in the darkness, making him feel uneasy.
“Vista? What are you doing here?” Mo Ming said, while slightly adjusting his body posture, ready to jump down into the cave at any moment.
In this confined space, Xiong Da and Meng Ling's powers cannot be fully utilized, and Vista has always been known for his speed and agility. If a battle were to break out here, their side would likely be in grave danger.
Bista's figure loomed in and out of sight in the shadows at the cave entrance. Although its expression was obscured, one could sense its fury, like a volcano about to erupt.
"Me? Of course I came with you. Mo Ming, you're really something. You agreed to cooperate with me, but then sent your pet to steal my house. Humans are indeed all treacherous and despicable."
Bista's voice carried a hint of sarcasm, as if he were revealing Mo Ming's dark side.
"Hmph! Don't pretend to be so noble. Do you really think I can't see through you? You want to cooperate with me so that you can sow discord between me and Asya, and then reap the benefits while attacking its lair. You want to kill two birds with one stone."
Mo Ming was equally unyielding, his eyes flashing with determination. This wasn't the first time they had clashed; they were already bitter enemies.
"Oh right, I forgot to tell you, I actually knew from the beginning that there was a crimson-purple level ferocious beast in Asya's lair, but I just didn't tell you, hahahaha..." Mo Ming's words were like a thorn, piercing deeply into Vista's heart.
Vista's rage reached its peak at this moment, and his furious voice was deafening like thunder.
"You little bastard, I'll kill you!" Vista's eyes widened in fury, his spear gleaming coldly as he pointed it directly at Mo Ming. His figure moved like a gust of wind, instantly lunging at Mo Ming, the spear slicing through the air with a piercing whistling sound.
"Too late! You stupid monkey!" Mo Ming sneered, turned around, and jumped into the cave with Xiong Da and Meng Ling, then casually picked up the luminous jade. The light at the cave entrance was instantly blocked, and darkness surged in like a tide, swallowing their figures.
Vista's attack missed its mark, and the sound of his angry teeth clenching echoed at the cave entrance.
Naturally suspicious, it wanted to give chase but dared not act rashly. The cave was deep and mysterious, perhaps concealing unknown dangers. It could only wait at the cave entrance, hoping that Mo Ming and his pets would reappear.
Inside the cave, Mo Ming lit a torch and slowly moved forward by its faint light, his heart filled with tension.
He dared not use the luminous jade, for its light was too intense, and the dark environment would effectively arouse Bista's suspicion, making him hesitant to act rashly.
In the dim firelight, the cave appeared exceptionally mysterious. The flames flickered gently, emitting a warm and soft glow that illuminated the surrounding rock walls, creating a fantastical space isolated from the world.
The cave walls are covered with the marks of time, and the textures of the rocks appear exceptionally vivid in the firelight. Each rock seems to tell an ancient story, recounting millions of years of geological changes.
The faint firelight cast dappled shadows on the rocks, as if performing a silent dance. The cave ceiling was high, and occasionally the sound of dripping water could be heard echoing in the silence. Water droplets slid slowly from the cracks in the rocks and landed on the ground with a crisp sound, breaking the tranquility of the cave.
Deep inside the cave, the firelight illuminated a flat, stone-covered area, vibrant with life.
The moss, illuminated by the firelight, emitted a faint glow, like stars in nature adorning this dark and desolate place. The temperature inside the cave was slightly cold, but the presence of the fire provided a sense of warmth, as if it were a testament to the resilience of life in this barren land.
Around the cave, you can occasionally see some peculiar stalactites and stalagmites, which have been eroded by time and formed various shapes.
Some resemble towering towers, while others look like low-lying mushrooms, standing quietly in the firelight, appearing exceptionally vivid. Their surfaces shimmer with a faint luster, as if showcasing the wonders of nature.
In a corner of the cave, Mo Ming discovered some ancient murals. Although they appeared blurry in the firelight, some patterns could still be vaguely discerned.
It looked extremely eerie, giving Mo Ming the feeling of staring into an abyss, making him afraid to look at it any longer.
As time passed, Mo Ming gradually reached the end of the cave. The flames gradually weakened, and the cave once again fell into darkness.
The depths of the cave remained tranquil, with only the occasional sound of dripping water, accompanied by inexplicable breathing, creating a strange harmony.
Even though the location shown on the tracking wheel was now the same as his own, Mo Ming still hadn't found anything.
Helpless, they could only let Xiong Da continue digging downwards.
Finally, a few minutes later, Xiong Da handed Mo Ming a cylindrical object.
By the light of the fire, Mo Ming could make out the object's appearance. It seemed to be the four sides of a cauldron, which, together with the base, could form a complete unit.
First, the four walls of the bronze Refining Heaven Cauldron are decorated with cloud and thunder-like patterns.
These patterns are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also exude a mysterious aura.
The flowing lines of the cloud pattern seem to be telling the story of the clouds in the sky, giving people a light and ethereal feeling.
The thunder pattern, on the other hand, appears strong and powerful, symbolizing the power and majesty of nature. The combination of these patterns added a touch of awe to Mo Ming.
Secondly, the inner four walls of the cauldron are also carved with various sacred beast patterns, such as dragons, phoenixes, and unicorns. The appearance of these mythical creatures adds a touch of mystery to the Refining Heaven Cauldron.
The walls are also decorated with geometric patterns and plant motifs. These patterns are arranged symmetrically, creating a harmonious visual effect.
In addition, the patterns on the four walls of the bronze Refining Heaven Cauldron are interspersed with various complex inscriptions, the existence of which confirms the immense power of the bronze Refining Heaven Cauldron.
Finally, there are two handles on the four sides of the bronze Refining Heaven Cauldron, which look like two monster mouths, and are quite terrifying.
Looking at the broken edges on the four walls and combining them with the base in his hand, Mo Ming could basically confirm that this was a fragment of the Bronze Refining Heaven Cauldron.
He quickly put it into his spatial ring and prepared to look for another way out.
The sound of dripping water, the patches of moss, and the occasional faint breeze made Mo Ming wonder if the cave might have another exit.
"Mengling, sense the location of the water source."
Mo Ming whispered to Meng Ling.
Upon hearing her master's words, the blue spirit patterns on Mengling's body instantly lit up, making her entire body look like a fine work of art.
Then, guided by Mengling, Mo Ming looked up in surprise.
"Mengling, are you sure you're not mistaken?"
You mean there's a huge pool of water at the top of this mountain?
