Chapter 887: Chapter 468: Qiankun Established! (666)_3
In an instant, many elders of the Ji Clan once again maintained the infusion of the Earth’s Veins’ power into the Qiankun Cauldron, intending to suppress Chen Mu with one strike.
But.
This time, the situation suddenly changed!
Chen Mu’s seemingly light palm landed on the Qiankun Cauldron, releasing a strand of vigorous energy and vital force. The ancient giant cauldron, which had been rotating slowly, suddenly trembled and then, with a grinding sound, came to a halt!
“This is impossible!”
Ji Yongheng’s face finally showed a trace of horror.
All the other elders of the Ji Clan also displayed expressions of disbelief.
Others might not discern what had happened, but they felt it incredibly clearly: a strong vital force had forcibly squeezed into the Qiankun Cauldron, struggling with them to seize control of the cauldron!
In that brief moment, the vital force had at least blended with nearly one-third of the cauldron’s scale, substantially driving back their own vital force and greatly diminishing their control over the cauldron!
To the extent that.
The Qiankun Cauldron was now completely frozen in midair!
Not only Ji Yongheng, but even Ji Xuanfei, who was severely injured and had to hide behind the Jade Platform, shrank his pupils upon sensing the change in the cauldron’s vital force, revealing a hint of disbelief.
Chen Mu is seizing the Qiankun Cauldron!
But how is this possible?!
The Qiankun Cauldron is a supreme spirit weapon, refined by the Ji Clan over a thousand years, inherently containing a true spirituality. It only recognizes the bloodline of the Ji Clan, and those eligible to control the cauldron are only the elders like Ji Yongheng; even Ji Xuanfei himself could not manipulate the cauldron without using the secret technique gained from the Great Wilderness.
Even with that secret technique, Ji Yongheng and others had been refining the cauldron for decades, their vital force deeply imprinted within it, making it impossible for him to seize control of the cauldron.
Chen Mu does not possess the bloodline of the Ji Clan; even if he practiced the Qiankun path and was naturally compatible with the Qiankun Cauldron, he could not possibly seize control of the cauldron. This is simply inconceivable!
The appearance of such an unbelievable scene even made Ji Yongheng’s eyes waver in doubt, questioning whether Chen Mu also possessed the imperial bloodline, carrying a remote lineage of the Ji Clan.
If so.
Then it makes sense!
Chen Mu has practiced the Qiankun path, which inherently aligns with the cauldron. Added with the Ji clan’s bloodline, it naturally brings closeness to the cauldron. Under these circumstances, it might indeed be possible to forcibly seize control of the cauldron!
But the problem is…
Since Chen Mu’s rise in the Cold North, shaking the world, and the battle in the Outer Sea, the Imperial Court has long investigated his ancestry thoroughly, almost every bit of information has been scrutinized. It’s widely known that Chen Mu is just a commoner from Cold North, a lowly constable, with generations of ancestors never having noble origins!
“This is bad, this won’t do!”
Ji Yongheng, amidst a moment of bewilderment, suddenly felt a chill on his spine, instantly collaborating with other elders of the Ji Clan to suppress the ever-spreading vital force of Chen Mu in the cauldron, but couldn’t stop it at all.
And Ji Xuanfei, leaning behind the Jade Platform, seeing this situation, also shuddered with contracted pupils. Although unclear on how Chen Mu achieved this, he knew if Chen Mu truly seized control of the Qiankun Cauldron, it would be his death moment!
The reason he hadn’t fled was because he wanted to live; to rely on the Qiankun Cauldron.
Relying on the cauldron to suppress Chen Mu, then to compel Ji Yongheng and others to yield, thereby continuing to sit on the imperial throne.
He couldn’t lose the throne, as all his trump cards, supporting powers, even the top masters almost perished in this fight; losing the throne means he wouldn’t need Chen Mu to act, as King Jin, King Chu, and others could destroy him completely!
“Rise, Cauldron.”
Seeing Ji Yongheng and others’ vital force retreating in the Qiankun Cauldron, Ji Xuanfei finally couldn’t sit still. He uttered a low cry, forcibly raising his broken arm, sending a strand of vital force sharply towards the cauldron in midair!
With the cauldron resonating and trembling, a third vital force suddenly surged in!
Swish.
At this moment, the gazes of Ji Yongheng and others almost simultaneously swept towards Ji Xuanfei, with eyes also showing astonishment, as Ji Xuanfei could control the cauldron and seize it!
Ji Xuanfei, although of the Ji clan bloodline, did not practice the Qiankun path. Although he gained recognition from the cauldron before, he hadn’t truly imprinted his vital force deep within, logically making it impossible for him to control the cauldron.
This is some secret technique!
Probably a secret technique gained from the Great Wilderness!
Compared to the inconceivable actions of Chen Mu, the means and origins displayed by Ji Xuanfei could be guessed in an instant by Ji Yongheng and others, knowing why the cauldron had chosen Ji Xuanfei before.
But now is not the time to dwell on these matters.
After triggering the secret technique, Ji Xuanfei also stared firmly at the cauldron in midair, sharing the pressure of Ji Yongheng and others, maneuvering vital force within the cauldron to continuously collide with Chen Mu, greatly slowing their retreat.
He knew once the secret technique was revealed, it would be thoroughly exposed. This was his deepest plan, aimed at consolidating his authority and ruling the world, then seizing the Qiankun Cauldron, bringing the true imperial bloodline and the vast Ji Clan under control, making Ji Yongheng and others all submit to him, and truly reigning supreme!
