The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

When Matthew was playing with the Sword of Heavenly Punishment in his hand.

Suddenly, a figure continued to fly towards him.

The figure flew at an extremely fast speed and arrived in front of Matthew in just a few breaths.

"Congratulations, master, for successfully surviving the heavenly punishment!" After the figure came in front of Matthew, he immediately bowed and said.

"Have you finished refining the Soul Gathering Orb?" Matthew asked after nodding.

The person who came was Xing Yan.

This woman's body now looks just like a normal human being.

Even the aura he exuded was that of a Nascent Soul Great Perfection, just like Matthew.

"It has not been completely refined yet. It will take a long time to complete. After I have completely refined the Soul Gathering Orb, I can enter the Spirit Transformation Stage." Xing Yan said with a smile.

"That's good. What's the situation outside?" Matthew asked.

"The spiritual energy of the heaven and earth here has been completely destroyed by the heavenly punishment, and there are space cracks all around. I have found a passage to leave. In addition, the Black Evil Sect has a secret vault that they have not had time to clean up, and it is also downstairs." Xing Yan came to Matthew and said.

Then, Matthew flew downwards under the guidance of Xingyan.

Matthew already knew that Xingyan had been hanging around nearby early in the morning.

However, the Heavenly Punishment Sword had not been completed at that time, so Xing Yan did not dare to get close.

It’s not that this woman has other thoughts, but the power of heavenly punishment has a strong restraining effect on Xing Yan.

Matthew was also aware of this, so he didn't ask any more questions about it.

"Master, after surviving the heavenly punishment, is there any difference in the Purple Cauldron?" Xing Yan asked softly while flying.

"Like you, it takes time," Matthew said with a slight smile.

There was no intention to deceive Xingyan. Zi Ding was in a state that even Matthew himself could not explain.

Upon hearing this, Xing Yan was tactful enough not to ask any more questions.

"Master, while you were going through the punishment from the heaven, I had already figured out all the situations down there. The Demon-Slaying Palace suffered heavy losses after being attacked by that mirror, and they had already left this place long ago."

"Except for a group of several hundred people from the Black Demon Sect who escaped through a teleportation array under the leadership of a Divine Transformation cultivator, almost all the rest of the members are dead."

While flying, Xingyan did not forget to tell Matthew about the situation here.

Matthew was not surprised to hear that hundreds of members of the Black Evil Sect had escaped.

This is understandable. The Black Evil Cult has survived for so many years, so it must have a backup plan.

It is extremely difficult to completely destroy the Black Evil Sect, and a centipede is still alive even after death.

And Matthew had never thought of destroying the Black Evil Sect, and this time he was forced to accept the heavenly punishment.

The Black Evil Sect has now suffered severe damage. Even with the protection of the Divine Transformation cultivators, it is impossible to restore to its original strength in a short period of time.

I think, from now on, the Black Evil Sect will definitely lie dormant and remain silent for a long time.

These things are completely irrelevant to Matthew.

Next, he has to prepare for the breakthrough to the God Transformation stage.

As long as he reaches the level of a spirit being, he will find a way to leave the human world.

At that time, the Black Evil Sect and the Demon-Destroying Palace would have nothing to do with him.

"That's right, Master. Today's Zhenyuan Jedi can be regarded as a real Jedi. After being affected by the might of the Heavenly Punishment, all parts of Zhenyuan Jedi were destroyed. Moreover, a large number of space cracks appeared. This place has become a Jedi in the human world. Even if a Divine Transformation cultivator comes here, he cannot leave safely."

Xingyan continued.

Matthew was really surprised when he heard this.

He originally thought that this was the real attack location of the heavenly punishment, and other places would only be affected to a greater or lesser extent.

Unexpectedly, the development of things was far beyond his imagination.

Although he felt a little sad, Matthew had no choice but to accept it.

"There are probably not many people in this world who know that the master has once again experienced the punishment from heaven..."

Before Xing Yan could finish her words, a dark red light suddenly appeared around her.

After the light appeared, it turned into a huge light shield that enveloped the two of them.

The light shield was hundreds of feet wide. When the light shield appeared, wisps of dark red gas immediately floated out from the inner wall of the light shield.

When Xing Yan saw this, her face changed and she looked ahead with a serious look.

And so did Matthew.

Although the light shield appeared suddenly, Matthew and Xingyan both knew that it was not a restriction.

Instead, someone was waiting for them here in advance.

Sure enough, after the dark red gas turned over, it condensed into a blood-red human figure.

Matthew and Xingyan did not take action immediately, but watched quietly as the figure appeared in front of them.

After a dozen breaths, the figure turned into an old man in a blood-red robe.

The old man looked very old, with a thin body and a little hunched.

In his hand he held a blood-red cane.

After he appeared, an aura unique to a cultivator who had reached the state of Divine Transformation emanated from this person.

However, after sensing this aura, Matthew and Xingyan both showed a hint of doubt in their eyes.

They had also come into contact with divine cultivators, especially not long ago, when Matthew had a fight with the Earth Lord.

The aura released by the old man opposite was a bit weird, it would be correct to say that he was in the Spirit Transformation Stage.

But it is somewhat different from a real Divine Transformation cultivator.

"Half a step to becoming a god..."

Xing Yan said after she breathed a sigh of relief.

“Just like Gui Sen of the Ghost Vine Clan back then, he failed in his attempt to reach the Spiritual Transformation stage, but then he broke through to the Nascent Soul stage.” Matthew also nodded.

As long as he is not a Divine Transformation cultivator, everything will be easy.

In particular, although Matthew experienced divine punishment and lost a lot of things.

However, his strength did not decrease much because of this, but became stronger than before.

In addition, with Xing Yan, who has a physical body, by their side, the two of them are still confident enough to deal with this half-step to divine transformation cultivator who suddenly appeared.

"I am Xue Daozi, nice to meet you two fellow Daoists."

Just when Matthew and the other man were ready to take action, the old man in the blood-red robe opposite them bowed to them politely.

"Friend Xue Daozi suddenly stopped the two of us, but is there something you want to do?" Xing Yan asked indifferently as she looked at Xue Daozi opposite her.

"This fellow Taoist should be Matthew." Xue Daozi just glanced at Xing Yan, then turned his gaze to Matthew and spoke softly.

Matthew didn't feel too surprised that his name was known.

He was already on the Black Evil Cult's wanted list, so it was no surprise that this Blood Daozi knew him.

"It's me, Ma. This is the first time I meet you, fellow Taoist. Fellow Taoist Xue, please get straight to the point." Matthew nodded in acknowledgement.

After he finished speaking, a purple light flashed in Matthew's hand, and the Heavenly Punishment Sword appeared in his hand.
