The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

"Let's talk. It's been a while since I last did business with you." This time Matthew took the initiative to speak.

"Smart, you guessed what I was thinking." Wu Kun said with a chuckle after hearing Matthew's words.

"You asked me before why I didn't take action against you earlier, especially when your cultivation was still very weak. That's because there was a guy protecting you in secret at that time. You should know who it was without me telling you. It's not that I didn't want to take action, but I couldn't do it at that time." Wu Kun said softly.

This time, Matthew nodded calmly and said, "I know."

"But after I learned about Mo Tu's plan, I changed my mind. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but I was involved in Mo Tu's plan. He wanted to replace me and become the Demon Lord."

"He wants to refine the entire human world and return to the demon world. And he wants to deliberately trick me into showing up, then devour me and make me a part of him."

When Wu Kun said this, a disdainful sneer appeared on his face.

"It is because you saw through that I was involved in Mo Tu's plan that I hid in your body and pretended to be solved by you, so that you could let down your guard." Wu Kun laughed again.

"You hid yourself very well. I only just discovered your existence now." Matthew nodded in acknowledgement.

"My condition is also very simple, that is to kill Mo Tu. As for the price, in addition to telling you everything I know, I can also help you deal with Mo Tu at the critical moment. The martial arts he practiced were taught by me, and I kept a trick up my sleeve at the time, and I know how to crack his magical skills."

Wu Kun finally revealed his true purpose.

After hearing this, Matthew simply shook his head and refused.

"I don't need to hear what happens next. You can handle the Mo Tu issue yourself. You have many ways to solve it, and you also know how to crack his magical skills, so there's no need for me to do anything."

Matthew refused decisively.

He had heard from Master Qinglian before that the monster was extremely powerful.

Moreover, now that I think about it, what Mr. Qinglian encountered might not be Mo Tu, but rather some kind of divine demon creature.

Even his subordinates have such powerful abilities, but Mo Tu still descended to the human world in his true form.

Its strength is far beyond what Matthew could imagine.

Although Matthew was somewhat confident in his own strength, he was not confident enough to fight a monster with its own body.

Moreover, he is only at the Nascent Soul stage now.

Going to find Mo Tu would mean seeking death, so how could he agree to Wu Kun's words?

The most important thing is that the conditions offered by Wu Kun are not very attractive.

There is no way Matthew, with any sense in his head, would agree to do such a dangerous thing just because of some secrets and Wu Kun's verbal promise.

"The Demon Slayer has a world soul..."

Wu Kun was not at all surprised that Matthew rejected him. He just said a few words lightly.

But when Matthew heard these words, his expression suddenly changed.

"World Soul...that's not something that only exists in legends. It may even be the imagination of the monks. Don't try to deceive me with it." Matthew shook his head.

"What he said is true."

But just as Matthew said this, an old voice sounded in his ears.

The voice sounded slightly familiar.

After a moment of pause, Matthew knew the source of the sound.

Then, the purple light around him rolled up and transformed into the shadow of an old man.

"You finally showed up." Wu Kun said lightly after seeing that the old man needed to show up.

"I have known that you are hiding in Matthew's body for a long time, but you have not taken any other action, so I just don't bother to care about you. I know you are a smart person and will not act rashly against Matthew. But if you dare to do it, I will make you regret it immediately." The old man said to Wu Kun with his hands behind his back.

His voice was calm, as if he was talking about a very trivial matter.

"The matter of Jiehun is true, and it is indeed in Mo Tu's hands." After the old man finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at Matthew.

Then, he sighed again and said, "Originally, I was going to tell you about this after you entered the Spiritual Transformation Stage, but now that Wu Kun has mentioned the Realm Soul, I'll tell you in advance."

Upon hearing this, Matthew immediately realized that things were definitely becoming more and more troublesome.

Moreover, I definitely cannot escape the blame.

"Please speak, senior." Matthew nodded helplessly and bowed.

This old man was the one inside the purple tripod. He rarely appeared, so Matthew was very surprised that he showed up this time.

And Matthew guessed that the other party's next words might surprise him even more.

"Since you became the master of the Purple Cauldron, you have been bound to the human world. There are thousands of human worlds, but only a few possess world souls. The reason why I brought the Purple Cauldron to this world is because I discovered that the world soul still exists in this world."

"Wukun and his men invaded the human world in order to obtain the world soul."

The old man's last words were spoken while looking at Wu Kun.

Upon hearing this, Wu Kun just chuckled a few times and said nothing.

From the moment the old man appeared, Wu Kun's eyes revealed a look of fear, and he did not conceal it at all.

"When I came here, the world soul was on the verge of collapse. As long as the world soul dissipates, the human world will decline from then on, and in the end there will not even be a trace of spiritual energy."

"I was already very weak at the time and didn't have the ability to break through the realm and leave, so I could only choose to forcibly devour the realm soul."

"As long as I devour the world soul, my injuries will be mostly healed. Then I can break through the world and leave to look for other world souls."

“However, although the boundary souls here are already very weak, they are much stronger than those boundary souls I have encountered before.”

"I struggled with him for a long time, but I could never completely devour him. At that time, Wu Kun led the demon army to this world."

"At that time, both the world soul and I were extremely weak. In the end, I risked the purple cauldron breaking and forcefully devoured the world soul. But I still failed."

As the old man spoke, his voice became smaller and smaller.

"You didn't fail completely. At least half of the world souls were taken away by you."

At this moment, Wu Kun, who had been silent all the time, spoke.

Matthew's eyes widened when he heard this, obviously he had not expected such a thing to happen.

"Yes, I did devour half of the world soul. The other half was taken away by Mo Tu."

The old man had no intention of hiding it and nodded in acknowledgement.

Matthew's eyes swept back and forth between the old man and Wu Kun. He could conclude that a lot must have happened between the two of them in the past.

However, if you want to know this, they need to speak out on their own initiative.

Otherwise, Matthew couldn't force them.
