I Shall Seal the Heavens - chapter-753

RUMBLE!

The lightning in the three hundred meter area rushed toward Meng Hao,
thoroughly enveloping him. The Lightning Elder up in mid-air watched Meng
Hao’s actions with sparkling eyes. By this point, he was thoroughly
shaken.

It was then that, all of a sudden, the enormous bronze cauldron began to
shudder. Within the lightning, Meng Hao seemed on the verge of being torn
to pieces. His skin was ripped and torn, and was clearly on the verge of
exploding.

It was at that point, when he was almost about to explode, that natural
law descended and swirled around his head. Now, every inch of Meng
Hao’s person… was completely in Dao Seeking!

This was a Dao Seeking fleshly body!

This Dao Seeking was not as obvious as a Dao Seeking cultivation base.
The influence it had on natural law was not very intense. However, from
this moment on, Meng Hao’s body was truly like a Dao Seeking treasure.

At this point, he could close his eyes and allow any Spirit Severing
cultivator to attack him at will, and it wouldn’t harm his body in the
least bit.

In fact, in all the lands of South Heaven you would be as likely to find
a phoenix feather or a qilin horn as you would to find someone with a
fleshly body comparable to Meng Hao’s. Not even in the Ji Clan could
someone like that be found.

This was an extremely powerful fleshly body!

Meng Hao lifted his head back and roared. In a short moment, all of the
lightning in the area was sucked into his body. It disappeared without
leaving behind even the tiniest trace. Meng Hao flew up into the air, and
although no lightning could be seen on him, if you looked deep into his
eyes, you would be able to sense amorphous lightning deep within.

As he hovered there in midair, he cast his senses throughout his body,
and could feel how terrifyingly powerful it was. He could even sense some
of the natural law of Heaven and Earth. Because this was an ancient
Blessed Land, the natural law in this place was different from that of
South Heaven. Therefore his aura was now a bit more primordial and
chaotic than before.

It seemed ancient, filled with the passage of years, and the air he let
off was one of boundless time.

He took a deep breath and then looked back down at the enormous bronze
cauldron, and his eyes flashed. Moments ago, when he had placed his hand
onto the cauldron, he had felt a bit of his soul detaching and entering
the cauldron.

As he looked at it now, he could sense some vague, mysterious connection
to it.

“Rise!” he said, raising his hand aloft.

RUMBLE!

The enormous bronze cauldron trembled. Creaking sounds could be heard,
and fissures spread across the surrounding terrain, as it slowly rose up
into the air, causing vast amounts of dust to spread out in all
directions like a cloud.

As the cauldron rose into the air, its primordial, ancient aura became
more and more similar to Meng Hao’s.

The sight of it caused the old man hovering in midair to gasp. He looked
deeply at Meng Hao, then glanced down at the second true self standing
not far away.

“I am not the spirit of the cauldron,” he said lightly. “However, I
am its guardian. The truly valuable thing about this treasure is the
inner cauldron, which is mysterious in origin. As for the outer cauldron,
my master forged it. Now, it belongs to you. Since you have acquired
it… it means you are tied to it by destiny. Time will tell whether or
not you can use the cauldron to achieve the same glory that my master did.

“Now that you have obtained the cauldron, my mission is
accomplished….” His eyes began to grow dim, and his body started to
fade away.

His voice cool, he continued, “I should have perished long ago. That
year, I was the lone survivor of the Tribulation Lightning, and my soul
did not disperse. Now that my mission is complete, I can experience
rebirth….

“I will travel to the underworld of the Fourth Mountain and be
reincarnated, be born once again as a human. Years from now, perhaps you
and I will meet again on the road to Immortality….” He continued to
fade away until he was nothing more than dots of light, which began to
fly up into the sky, then disappeared.

Meng Hao looked in the direction the old man had departed to. He wasn’t
sure who he was, but he couldn’t help but think of the tall man he had
seen in the vision all those years ago.

For a moment, the two of them had seemed quite similar.

After a moment of thought, Meng Hao looked back at the enormous cauldron.

“Shrink!” he commanded.

The huge cauldron thrummed, and then began to shrink. When it was the
size of a hand, it floated down to rest on Meng Hao’s palm. As soon as
it touched him, lightning surged out from Meng Hao, and he was immersed
in electricity.

Within the lightning, Meng Hao’s body trembled, and he was able to
sense some of the remarkable abilities of the bronze cauldron. It seemed
as if this knowledge had suddenly popped into his mind automatically as
soon as he touched the cauldron.

“Form Displacement Transposition ….” He gaped for a moment, then
suddenly pushed down on the cauldron and looked over at his second true
self.

Updated from lightnov/el/world//[.]com
In that instant, everything suddenly went blurry for a moment. When he
could see clearly again, he was shocked to discover that he… was still
holding the cauldron, but was now down on the ground where his second
true self had just been standing. As for his second true self, he was
hovering in midair where Meng Hao had just been.

“Incredible!” he thought, his eyes going wide. Panting, he looked
down at the Lightning Cauldron, and his eyes shone with a strange light.
He could immediately tell that this cauldron would be extremely useful in
magical combat.

In fact, its usefulness wouldn’t be limited to battle. He could use it
in many circumstances. It truly was Heaven-defying.

“It has other abilities too,” he thought. “It can unleash
lightning, and is also incredibly heavy, capable of carrying out true
crushing!

“Furthermore, it was created in ancient times. The sturdiness of the
materials used make it is such that other magical items can’t even
compare!” His eyes flickered as he suddenly thought of the statues
inside the Lightning Cauldron, as well as the inner cauldron.

“This is truly a precious treasure!” he thought, breathing heavily.
He put the Lightning Cauldron into his bag of holding, then flew up into
the air. Together with his second true self, he shot off into the
distance.

Moments later, he teleported out of the ancient Blessed Land and found
himself once again on the lotus-shaped platform deep in the recesses of
the former Black Sieve Sect. The door was no longer operational, and
broke into tiny pieces, which then vanished.

Meng Hao glanced back at the disappearing door, then shot up out from
within the earth. The Blood Demon Sect disciples were waiting outside,
and when they caught sight of Meng Hao, they clasped hands and bowed.

“Blood Prince, we welcome you back with deep respect!”

The two Ironblood Patriarchs could sense that there was something
different about Meng Hao, although they weren’t sure exactly what it
was. As for the Golden Frost Sect Patriarch and the 3rd Li Clan
Patriarch, they were now Blood Clone puppets, and had no way to tell.

When it came to the hundreds of thousands of rogue cultivators, not a
single one could pick up on even the slightest clue. All they could tell
was that Meng Hao… somehow seemed stronger, and more ancient.

“The Black Sieve Sect is destroyed,” declared Meng Hao, looking
around at the crowds of people. “Next… is the Solitary Sword Sect!”

“The Solitary Sword Sect!” The forces of the Blood Demon Sect
flickered with killing intent, and their desire to slaughter burned like
wildfire. The hundreds of thousands of rogue cultivators were also
getting excited.

“He’s actually going to completely wipe out the four powers who
allied against him!!”

“If the Blood Demon Sect does that, then they really will unite the
Southern Domain!”

Even as the hundreds of thousands of rogue cultivators expressed their
shock, a glow like that of lightning appeared beneath Meng Hao’s feet,
and he shot off into the distance, followed by countless beams of light
that were the Blood Demon Sect disciples.

Several days later, the sky outside the Solitary Sword Sect began to
rumble. The clouds collapsed as a mighty gale-force wind swept through
the area. A storm seemed to be gathering above the Solitary Sword Sect.

The sect was completely sealed up. Disciples inside were not permitted to
leave, and the entire sect was poised as if to face a mortal enemy.
Everything was sealed to protect against reprisals from the Blood Demon
Sect.

The mood in the Solitary Sword Sect was gloomy and distressed. Everyone
was nervous. There were only a few tens of thousands of disciples left,
and all of them were on edge. The sect’s Dao Seeking Patriarch was
dead, and the strongest people in the entire sect were their three Spirit
Severing Cultivators, including Sir Jian. 1

When they saw the beams of light flying through the air that were the
Blood Demon Sect, they knew that they could do nothing to fight back.
They could only hope that their grand spell formation, designed to
protect the sect, would be able to stand up to the revenge-bent Blood
Demon Sect.

The air outside the sect rippled as tens of thousands of beams of light
approached. Meng Hao was in the vanguard position, and the murderous air
around him was thick. His eyes flashed with killing intent as he glanced
over the Solitary Sword Sect.

In this part of the Southern Domain, the mountains stuck straight up like
swords. In the middle of the sect was a shocking mountain surrounded by
thin mist. Looking through the mist at the sect, it appeared to be
completely bleak and desolate.

Although the mist appeared to be thin, it was actually the first spell
formation of the Solitary Sword Sect’s grand spell formation.

The Blood Demon Sect disciples behind Meng Hao joined their voices
together into a raging sound that boomed like waves through the Solitary
Sword Sect.

“SURRENDER, OR DIE!”

There was no response. However, the thin mist that surrounded the
Solitary Sword Sect began to spin, transforming into numerous swirling
dragons. The dragons rapidly merged together, shockingly forming… an
enormous Sword Dragon!

The dragon was lizard-like, and gigantic enough to cover the entire sect.
Its back was covered with innumerable great swords that stuck up like
needles. It was green, and shocking to the extreme. As soon as it
appeared, it raised its head up and roared at Meng Hao. 2

Meng Hao’s eyes flickered with coldness. He slapped his bag of holding
with his right hand, and the Lightning Cauldron flew out. It thrummed,
expanding rapidly until it was the size of a mountain. Endless bolts of
lightning shot out from it, causing the entire sky to become a world of
lightning.

A shocking pressure weighed down, and the sight of the cauldron caused
Sir Jian and the other two Spirit Severing Patriarchs to become extremely
nervous. As for the other disciples, they were shocked to the core.

However, there was one man off in a far corner of the Sect who did not
seem nervous at all. He looked almost like an old man, but was in fact
middle-aged. He had a stubbly beard, and looked lonely. Although he was a
Solitary Sword Sect disciple, he wore no sword at his side.

The only thing he had was a flagon of alcohol from which he drank. He
stared at what first seemed like an ordinary boulder that rested a bit
further up the mountain from him. However, upon closer inspection… a
person was visible inside the boulder. That same person existed for all
eternity in his heart.

“Junior Brother,” the man said. “Kill them…. Kill everyone in the
Solitary Sword Sect. Avenge my master, and pay for my crimes.” With a
bitter smile, he took another long swig of alcohol.

As the shocking Lightning Cauldron expanded in size, more and more
lightning appeared, causing everything to tremble.

The Blood Demon Sect disciples, as well as the hundreds of thousands of
rogue cultivators that came to observe, were all flabbergasted. They
looked on in awe as the Lightning Cauldron sped toward the Solitary Sword
Sect’s Sword Dragon.

RUMBLE!

“Stand firm!” roared Sir Jian.

“All disciples, pour full energy into the spell formation!” cried
another of the three Solitary Sword Sect Patriarchs.

Tens of thousands of disciples gritted their teeth and poured all of
their energy into the spell formation. Instantly, the Sword Dragon looked
even more corporeal than before.

Everyone watched as the Lightning Cauldron descended toward the Sword
Dragon, which roared and then charged up to meet the Lightning Cauldron
in mid-air.

Shocking booming sounds rang out.

Gasps rang out in all directions when the Sword Dragon slammed into the
Lightning Cauldron, only to begin to shatter into pieces! It was
incapable of standing up to the Lightning Cauldron in even the slightest
capacity, and its entire body collapsed into fragments in only the blink
of an eye….

It was destroyed as easily as crushing dry weeds!

2. “Sword Dragon” could also be translated stegosaurus. However, I
have seen Chinese art in which such creatures are not stegosauruses.
Although there is no way to know exactly what Er Gen envisioned (he did
describe it as having swords sticking out of its back and looking like a
lizard), I decided to go with the more literal translation of the
characters. Also, there is an obvious connection to the name of the sect,
so it seems apropos
