Chapter 5385: Strange Presence
from the first layer of Qi refining to the Qi refining period. Back then, his cultivation level among his peers was also top-notch. It took him over a decade to achieve such a transformation. 。while...> "That's hard to say. The races corresponding to the other spaces might be stronger, or perhaps they no longer exist. After all, who can truly know the intricacies of life and death in this world"
Kongtong sighed slightly. Just like their Kongying clan, they had been fine just a few days ago, but now they were facing a life-or-death crisis.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
But Kongtong quickly changed his mind. Although the Kongying clan was facing a major crisis this time, they had found a clue to the Kongtian Ding, or rather, they had directly found the Space Sub-Ding, which artifact was now on Lu Xiaoteng's body.
>
For the Kong Ying Clan, this wasn't just about fulfilling the destiny entrusted by their ancestors. Zidi chose Lu Xia Tian. At this point, in the eyes of the Kongtong Clan, Lu Xia Tian's importance instantly surpassed that of the previous clan leader.
The Space Seven Cauldrons correspond to seven Heaven-Piercing Cauldrons. As the possessor of one of these Heaven-Piercing Cauldrons, Lu Xia Tian possesses a status second only to the Mother Cauldron, inherently holding the highest position among all cauldron holders except for the Mother Cauldron itself. This represents the legitimacy of the Space Bloodline.
In contrast, Kong Tianji is merely a powerful individual who has lost his original mind.
If it hadn't happened, Kongtong believed that Kongtianji would most likely return to the Kongying clan after winning against Lu Xiaoteng and regain control of the entire clan.
The victor is king, the vanquished are scoundrels. Even if one has done things to shame their clan in the past, as long as they possess absolute power, they can turn the tide at will within the clan, crushing any dissenting voices.
Even if Kong Tianji's strength improves further, it can only maintain the status quo of the Kongying Clan and is unlikely to achieve a breakthrough improvement.
While Lu Xia Tian, as one of the owners of the Kong Tianding, could lead the Kong Ying clan further.
The only trouble is that Lu Xia Tian also possesses the identity of a dragon clan member, constantly being pursued by the Heavenly Court. This could bring a catastrophic disaster to the Kongying clan.
However, as a powerful being second only to the Immortal Monarch level, Kongtong possesses an inner pride and would never fear an enemy's strength.
>
Previously, he had spared no effort to protect his kind. He felt that the Kongying Clan's destruction due to this conflict was too unworthy. He also felt sorry for their countless years of hard work, and such a demise was even too disgraceful.
But if it were for the Heavenly Cauldron, even facing the Immortal Realm's Kongtong wouldn't be feared. This is the fate of the Kongying clan, even if they perish, it would be on the path of seeking enlightenment.
“Given the previous situation, Dongfang Dangshen being forcefully brought here by Kong Tianji can be considered a dragon trapped in shallow water, it will be very difficult for him to turn things around and he will likely fall here soon.”
However, since the Eastern Saint possesses a child tripod, there is a glimmer of hope. My subordinate is willing to serve the Eastern Saint as master!
Kongtong's voice was solemn, and the tone in which he addressed Lu Xia Tian was completely different from before. There was a sincerity and respect in his words.
"To take me as your master, just because of the spatial artifact within me" Lu Xia Tian's face was instantly filled with astonishment.
>
"That's right, not only is the Eastern Saint of Dan stronger than my subordinates, but he also carries the destiny of the Sky-Empty Cauldron. This is also the destiny of our Kongying Clan."
"What do you think the other Kongying clan members would react if they found out about this" Lu Xiaoxiao asked.
“Only the clan leader and the four guardians know about this. Kongya's choice will definitely be the same as mine. As for the other two guardians, it's hard to say.” Kongtong said.
“It seems like this kid Ding’s heir status isn’t very effective.” Lu Xiaoteng smiled upon hearing this and didn’t take it too seriously.
He is still in the unfamiliar environment brought by Kong Tianji and has not yet escaped. Thinking about these messy things is useless.
Although subduing other spatial races may not be of much use, the Master has after all refined the Void Celestial Cauldron and possesses a unique advantage in cultivating the laws of space.
"Kong Tianji wants to fight the master with this kind of environment, that's delusional." Kongtong said, "Now he should be in huge trouble."
“Actually, there are some discrepancies between what you said and the truth. My talent for cultivating spatial laws is not outstanding. I have already mastered the principles of the Five Elements and Three Ominous Laws, and even bloodline laws can be said to be nearly complete.”
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
Only in the domain of spatial laws has progress been painfully slow. Recent improvements are likely due to the recent battle with Kong Hao Tian Ting's Invisible Elder.
When I first entered the Demon Abyss, Elder Kongyin, pressured by self-preservation, temporarily cooperated with me. Out of necessity to jointly use the spatial formation, he guided me in cultivating the laws of space, which allowed me to make some progress.”
Lu Xia Tian shook his head. Even after incorporating the Void Emperor Cauldron, he didn't think he was particularly outstanding in his cultivation of spatial laws.

“How long has the Master been cultivating the Spatial Law” Kongtong pondered for a moment and then asked several questions about the Kong Tianzi Ding.
Please provide me with the text you'd like translated. I can help with that!
“Tens of thousands of years, perhaps.” Kongtong was speechless for a moment. “The law of space is not like other laws and mysteries. It’s indeed profound and obscure. Our Kongying clan, whenever we cultivate the law of space, we would also choose to put aside other laws and mysteries first, otherwise, it's easy to cause conflicts,”
This can lead to a slowdown in cultivation progress.
"To be able to cultivate the Eight Laws to such perfection, as well as the Blood Laws nearly to completion, and within just tens of thousands of years to reach this level in Spatial Laws... that is already incredibly rare."
Thousands of years of cultivation, even some Xuanxian and even true immortals of the Kongying clan couldn't compare. Can such progress be considered slow Although there are outstanding talents in the Kongying clan, their speed looks a bit faster than Lu Xia Tian's, but considering that Lu Xia Tian cultivates so many laws and principles, even becoming a fifth-grade alchemy saint, the difference is huge. “You don’t understand my situation, my soul power far exceeds your imagination. Even if I am distracted and use multiple laws and principles, I haven't devoted much extra energy to them. I have still put quite a bit of thought into the law of space.”
Lu Xia Tian shook his head, "It's useless to say more. Since you know about the existence of the Kong Tianzi Ding, do you know how to use it to break the current situation"
“This subordinate isn't particularly clear either, but our ancestors of the Kongying Clan chose to settle here and even passed down the method for finding the Sky-Earth Cauldron. It's likely there are some clues in this area.”
Our method wasn't particularly clear, but perhaps Eastern Saint Dan could gain something using the Void Emperor Cauldron," Kongtong pondered for a moment.
"Zi Ding and the spatial treasure within my body have merged as one, sealed by the Empty Concealing Elder. I can't use it for now," Lu Xia Tian shook his head, feeling the problem was quite troublesome.
“Space is a profound mystery. Since the master possesses the Son Ding, he wouldn't be completely sealed. It's just that the master's mastery of spatial laws limits his vision.”
Now I will pass down this method of sensing the Qi of Heaven and Earth to my master, perhaps it will be of some help to him.
When Kongtong began imparting his teachings, each word and every syllable hammered against Lu Xia Tian's cultivation of the spatial laws like a heavy hammer.
Stirring the spatial laws in Lu Xiaoxiao's understanding, each hammer blow cracked this solid barrier slightly. Through this crack, a familiar feeling emanated from within.
Lu Xia Tian's face lit up. It wasn't that he sensed the presence of the Kong Tian Ding outside, but rather that he sensed the aura from the Kong Tian Ding that was originally inside the Qing Guo barrier.
"Yes, this is the Void Emperor Cauldron!" Kongtong was also extremely excited, "Your Majesty, can you sense the presence of the Void Sky Cauldron outside"
"Not yet." Lu Xia Tian shook his head.
"Don't worry too much, perhaps the master can change his thinking and use the empty Heavenly Emperor Tripod to sense similar energies." Kongtong reminded.
"That's a good idea." Lu Xia Tian also had this intention, but for now he wasn't in a hurry, because he sensed the location of the Qingguo boundary seal.
Previously, the Qing Guo Barrier was sealed by the Elder of Empty Shadow. Limited by his cultivation in spatial laws, Lu Xiaotian couldn't even sense the specific location of this seal, as if it had directly cut off his sensing of the Qing Guo Barrier within him. He couldn't sense its location or strength, so naturally, there was no way to break the seal. The Qing Guo Barrier and the Kong Tianzi Ding had long merged together. Sensing the aura of the Kong Tianzi Ding was equivalent to sensing the Qing Guo Barrier. Once he determined the location of the seal, even without anyone's help, Lu Xiaotian could gradually break it.
At this time, Kongtong Mountain hadn't directly provided him with combat assistance, but this spell technique solved his urgent problem.
Lu Xia Tian continued to circulate his techniques, the power of spatial laws within him also surging rapidly. However, the Kongtian Zi Ding was like a giant whale with its mouth wide open, frantically devouring the spatial power within Lu Xia Tian's body.
Lu Xia Tian felt that the spatial law power he had cultivated for so long was instantly drawn away by half. The sudden change took him aback. With his limited spatial power, it was nowhere near enough for the other party to absorb. At this rate, he wouldn't even be able to hold on for a few breaths. He had finally established a basic foundation in the spatial law after so much effort, how could he bear to see all his progress vanish
Lu Xia Tian decisively circulated his techniques, focusing all his effort on sensing the Kong Tiān Dǐng within his body. Then, he guided it to sense similar energy in the void, or absorb spatial power from the emptiness.
As expected, the energy after redirecting the muzzle absorbed the strange spatial power around it in layers, like ripples.
Then Lu Xiaotian felt an inexplicable and powerful spatial law force within the breath of the Kong Tianzi Ding. It was as if it were one with the power he cultivated within himself. Or to be more precise, it was exactly the same as the power he had cultivated. How could this be Lu Xiaotian believed his senses were impeccable. This was indeed his own power, yet it had been subtly and mysteriously extracted by the Kong Tianzi Ding without him noticing for so many years. The strangeness of the Kong Tianzi Ding was truly extraordinary.
No wonder I haven't made much progress in spatial laws over the years, and my growth has been extremely slow. It turns out that a large part of the spatial law power I newly cultivated was extracted.
Cultivating the spatial laws requires not only sufficient comprehension but also a substantial accumulation of power within those laws, ultimately reaching a point where quantity transforms into quality.
It has to be said that this Empty Celestial Cauldron is also quite eerie. It doesn't touch the spatial law power originally within him, it only targets and extracts the newly cultivated law power he has gained through his training.
The newly acquired power had not been fully mastered by Lu Xia Tian, a portion of it was intercepted. The Empty Heavenly Cauldron remained within his body, making it truly difficult to sense. It proved the old saying true: one must be vigilant day and night, for the greatest danger often comes from within.
Lu Xia Tian's eyes flickered, it seemed that the Kong Tian Zi Ding integrated into his body also held secrets he didn't yet know.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be like this. This doesn't seem like something the Void Emperor Cauldron would do unconsciously. After all, for so many years, he hasn't been able to discover it himself. If someone were manipulating things behind the scenes, their skill would be terrifying.
But why would they use such a strange way to hide themselves inside their own body, when they clearly have such powerful abilities
It's one problem after another. Before Kong Tianji could be dealt with, this new internal enemy has appeared. It doesn't seem right though, Lu Xiaoteng was momentarily confused. It seemed like the opponent couldn't fully control the Emperor Ding of Heaven and Earth for now, after all, even while the other party absorbed his power just now, Lu Xiaoteng could still directly control the Emperor Ding of Heaven and Earth to change direction.
This bizarre situation left Lu Xia Tian momentarily confused.
Let's not dwell on it too much. Since we've found something abnormal, we should deal with it immediately. It's been hidden inside me for so many years without me noticing, that's unacceptable.
This potential crisis weighed on Lu Xia Tian even more than Kong Tian Ji. Kong Tian Ji was an external enemy, but the potential crisis was an internal threat.
That he could hide with his powerful primordial spirit up until now is truly astonishing.
While the space within his body, where the Empyrean Cauldron absorbed external spatial energy, was busy, Lu Xia Tian searched with all his might for the opponent's presence. His divine sense scoured every inch of his internal being, and he truly found a faint clue.
It seemed to be merely a subtle void. Although the other party was clearly within him, several careful probes yielded no concrete confirmation of their presence. It was an extremely contradictory feeling.
“The奧義 of Spatial Law, spatial displacement!” Perhaps as he gradually merged with the Spatial Law power being drawn away from him, Lu Xiaoteng’s formerly obscure understanding of Spatial Law became clearer. His comprehension of space greatly improved, allowing him to perceive the secret that had allowed the other party to remain hidden all this time.”
It seems very profound, but in reality, it's worthless. The other party can continue to hide because Lu Xia Tian is lacking in his accumulation of spatial laws.
And the Qingguo barrier itself had certain flaws, it was not perfect. So, he had always been hiding in the weak points of the Qingguo barrier, which happened to be the place that Lu Xiaoteng was most difficult to sense. This guy himself seemed to have been greatly restricted, unable to fully control the Kongtianzi Ding, but his understanding of the sub-ding was far greater than Lu Xiaoteng's. That's how he could draw a little bit of Lu Xiaoteng's newly born spatial law power through the sub-ding, to curb his cultivation speed in the laws of space and prevent him from reaching a perfect state.

"I didn't expect you to find me so quickly, it's quite a surprise." A voice rang out as soon as Lu Xiaoteng sensed the other party's existence.

"Are you the former master of the Void Emperor Ding Who are you" Lu Xia Tian asked. "I am who I have almost forgotten myself, you can call me Yongze Demon Lord for now." The mysterious voice was tinged with confusion, as if recalling something from long ago.
> it not been for this, he would have never crossed the Ghost Gate and fallen into his master’s clutches. He shuddered to think about it; even his soul would have been crushed by that insidious Gu Moth...
