Chapter 2283 - 2283 2273 Yun Huang

2283: Chapter 2273 Yun Huang 2283: Chapter 2273 Yun Huang The scene before him began to transform, and this sudden change caused Long Yan to feel a surge of astonishment.

His surroundings shifted from a pristine world to a purgatory.

The heat around him made sweat slowly drip down from Long Yan’s forehead.

However, the Eight Desolation Demon Cauldron seemed unaffected, simply pulling Long Yan along on its own.

“Where is this place?”

Long Yan’s expression was filled with confusion.

Where was the Eight Desolation Demon Cauldron taking him?

Although he knew that it had recognized him as its Master through a blood pact, Long Yan still felt that something was amiss.

“Just ahead.”

The Eight Desolation Demon Cauldron, upon hearing Long Yan’s words, responded without turning its head and continued to walk forward.

Long Yan had no choice but to follow.

“What is that?”

Before Long Yan’s eyes, a woman dressed in ancient crimson garments sat quietly upon some chains.

Eight thick chains firmly secured a big cauldron below.

Long Yan recognized that the cauldron bound by the chains was the Nine Suns Cauldron from his Sea of Consciousness, as probably no other cauldron would bear the engraving of nine lifelike dragons upon its body.

Although initially shocked by the Nine Suns Cauldron, what astounded Long Yan even more was the woman sitting atop the chains.

Her bright eyes and white teeth could be described by all the beautiful words in the world—it seemed as if those words were tailor-made for the woman in crimson before him.

This was the first time Long Yan felt at a loss for words, unable to find an adjective to describe her beauty.

“Sister, I have brought him here.”

The Eight Desolation Demon Cauldron did not act as whimsically in front of the woman as it did with Long Yan, but rather respectfully spoke to the woman on the chains, showing reverence towards the woman in crimson.

“Hmm.”

The woman had noticed their arrival from the beginning and merely hummed softly, but even that sweet sound made Long Yan’s heart flutter as if caressed by the spring breeze.

Seeing that Long Yan was staring at her in a daze, the woman gently laughed, and with that laugh, it was as if all flowers bloomed at once.

Her lovely eyes were fixed intently on Long Yan, who hurriedly composed himself, regaining his unfathomable expression.

However, the slight twitching of his lips proved that his heart was far from calm.

“Is this really our first meeting?”

Long Yan asked doubtfully, and certainly, it wasn’t some cliched pickup line.

He genuinely felt a profound sense of familiarity with the woman before him that he couldn’t quite place.

He questioned where he had seen her before, leaving him no choice but to ask aloud.

“This servant once saved your life; how could you so quickly forget me?”

The woman’s grievous gaze even made Long Yan feel a twinge of guilt, as if he had saddened the beautiful woman across from him.

Of course, Long Yan heard the word “servant” clearly, but at this moment, he was still baffled.

The woman claimed to have saved him before, but he had no recollection of such an event.

“Uh…”

Long Yan felt a bout of embarrassment.

He wanted to ask the woman for a hint, but looking into those alluring eyes made him speechless.

Seeing Long Yan’s demeanor, the woman smiled slightly, as if seeing through his thoughts, and slowly uttered four words.

“The Secret Territory of Shadow of Blood.”

Long Yan’s gaze slightly tightened.

If he remembered correctly, it was during Dragon Tooth’s rampage that the vicious spirit rebounded, and it was the Nine Suns Cauldron that saved his life.

However, after looking at the Nine Suns Cauldron and then at the woman above it, Long Yan truly could not associate the beauty in front of him with the majestic Nine Suns Cauldron.

“That’s right, I am the spirit of the Nine Suns Cauldron.

My name is Yun Huang.”

Yun Huang hopped down from the chains, stretched her body lightly, and her graceful figure unfolded in front of Long Yan.

However, only Long Yan and the Eight Desolation Demon Cauldron beside him could see this beautiful scene.

No, even the Eight Desolation Demon Cauldron could not see it.

Now she was just bowing her head, not daring to lift it.

Long Yan had once been amazed at why an artifact like the Nine Suns Cauldron would lack a true spirit, yet he could never find an answer.

Now it seems that it might be due to the Nine Suns Cauldron being sealed.

“So, is the purpose of calling me here to remove the seal?”

Unexpectedly, after Long Yan finished speaking, Yun Huang in front of him just gently shook her head.

The reason she called Long Yan here was not to remove the seal on the Nine Suns Cauldron.

In fact, in this world, there really was no one who could seal the Nine Suns Cauldron.

“Then what is it for?”

Hearing Yun Huang’s confident tone, Long Yan became somewhat suspicious about her purpose for calling him here.

Seeing the puzzled expression on Long Yan’s face, Yun Huang slowly began to speak of a past matter.

“The world you see is not the real world.”

This statement stunned Long Yan.

What did she mean by saying this world is not the real world?

Seeing Long Yan’s expression, Yun Huang knew he must have misunderstood and stuck out her pink tongue, starting to explain to him.

The things Yun Huang talked about were roughly similar to what the Sacred Beasts had said when he obtained the Martial God Array.

They amounted to ultimately challenging the Heaven Dao and then failing.

However, as a born Sacred Artifact, the Nine Suns Cauldron would definitely not be willing to concede, thus it became the First Person to challenge the Heaven Dao.

Yun Huang’s gaze became a little misty as if pondering something.

At that time, the born Sacred Artifact, the Nine Suns Cauldron, had put up a fight equal to that of Heaven Dao, but in the end, the Nine Suns Cauldron still lost.

As if discussing something normal, Yun Huang merely outlined the edges of the battle to Long Yan, which was enough to startle him.

That kind of battle must have been earth-shatteringly intense.

Yet Long Yan still did not understand why the Nine Suns Cauldron was sealed, so Yun Huang continued to tell the story.

It turns out that after the Nine Suns Cauldron’s defeat, the Heaven Dao, out of fear that another artifact similar to the Nine Suns Cauldron might emerge, started to oppressively exploit the cultivators below.

Already burdened by the oppression of Heaven Dao, the cultivators eventually began a rebellion against it.

As for the rebellion against the Heaven Dao, it was led by beings like the Qilin.

Though they slew the Heaven Dao, in the end, they were cleanly annihilated by a nascent Heaven Dao, utterly powerless against it.

Yun Huang spoke slowly, yet just from her words, Long Yan could hear the breathtaking intensity of the battle.

Yun Huang believed that all these wrongs were because of herself, thus she willingly sealed herself.

Nevertheless, in her heart, she was unwilling to accept such a defeat, so she left behind the Nine Suns Divine Art.

The Nine Suns Divine Art was a martial arts technique cultivated by Yun Huang herself.

As for its later discovery in the Relic by Long Yan, that was something Long Yan came to know afterward.

Yun Huang spoke as if she were talking about somebody else’s story, without the slightest ripple of emotion.

Long Yan just listened quietly to this piece of history, while his own understanding began to clear up a bit.

Perhaps it was due to Yun Huang that the Five Sacred Beasts chose him.

Now this group of people had placed their bets on him; even the Qilin and other Sacred Beasts had sacrificed their souls to carve the Martial God Array within him.

However, Long Yan still didn’t quite understand why these beings were so fixated on toppling Heaven Dao.

It would be fine just to live out their own lives.

If Yun Huang hadn’t wanted to challenge Heaven Dao, perhaps she would still be the foremost Sacred Artifact, free to go wherever she wanted in the realm of gods, and so would creatures like Qilin and the others.

“So why do you all have such a strong obsession?”
