Pill Cauldron Sect’s Elders

“You still don’t understand? Third Heaven Palace is the reason behind the crisis you just went through. They want control over every big sect to eliminate potential bumps in their plan. That’s why Pill Cauldron Sect won’t ever see the sa glory in this era. In the sa vein, it doesn’t matter who the patriarch is,” Mu Yu stressed.

Face ghastly pale, Daoist Yun Dan inquired, “What exactly is Third Heaven Palace after?”

“They want to abet a war to collect soul energy. If I’m correct, they want every sect under their control irrespective of influence. In short, they don’t want any challengers.”

“Why?” Daoist Yun Dan muttered.

“Mu Yu, they have always been our leader, though,” contested Daoist Yuan Hua.

“The past Third Heaven Palace certainly prioritised the interests of cultivators. The current Third Heaven Palace has changed. They now cultivate off soul energy, which ans they need an infinite supply of soul energy. The soul energy left behind in a war between elental demons and cultivators is what they are after. Choose what you will believe. I can’t force you to choose.”

“We have no reason to question you when this” – Daoist Yun Dan pointed around – “is the state of Pill Cauldron Sect now. That is all the more reason we need soone truly dependable to lead us. My cultivation isn’t enough to pull us through. We need you, Mu Yu.”

“I agree,” opined Daoist Yuan Hua.

“By the way, I forgot to tell you that I managed to rescue Daoist Yuan De from the ambush,” Mu Yu inford, prompted by their persuasion speech.

“H-he is still alive?”

“As I ntioned, part of their plan entails controlling all Ascension Realm cultivators – which has already taken place, for your information. Hence, all of the elders in the sect were under their control. Due to removing their shackles, Daoist Yuan De has lost his mories. He does not recognise Alchemist Yao now, so…”

“Junior Brother Yao knows about the mind control?” Daoist Yun Dan queried.

“That’s why he chose to bear with it all. Has it finally clicked for you?”

“We’ve been led around by the nose all this ti,” lanted Daoist Yuan Hua, though grateful Daoist Yuan De pulled through.

“If you need another Ascension Realm cultivator, I can recomnd an Ascension Realm elder to you. He is a mber of Pill Cauldron Sect.”

“We have another Ascension Realm mber? Junior Brother Yuan Cheng?” Daoist Yuan Hua inquired.

Mu Yu presented Helian Kong’s soul item. “He is a special elder. His na is Helian Kong. Have you heard of him?”

Daoists Yuan Hua and Yun Dan regarded each other visually. “No, we do not.”

“Of course you wouldn’t, you ignorant juniors!” snapped Helian Kong, whisking out of his soul item. “I heard everything you said, Mu Yu. Is that true?”

“Which sentence? I ntioned a lot of things.”

“Third Heaven Palace’s conspiracy. Third Heaven Palace!”

“Deep breaths, Elder! Third Heaven Palace now is no longer the Third Heaven Palace of your era. Should you not be trying to lay low?”

Sensing the potent energy from Helian Kong, Daoist Yun Dan requested, “Sir, may I ask who you ar-”

“Sir, my foot! I’m your ancestor!”

“Anc-ancestor? Y-you must be mistaken?”

“No wonder why Pill Cauldron Sect resembles a dump now,” griped Helian Kong, implying Daoist Yun Dan was a dullard.

Helian Kong could not bla Daoist Yun Dan for not knowing…

“Don’t you have any records of notable disciples or sothing?” Xiaoshuai asked.

“We do. Let see…”

Daoist Yuan Hua bead a light beam from a jade piece onto the wall, revealing a list of nas and pertinent information. Given the number of millenniums Pill Cauldron Sect had existed, the list was exhausting to sift through.

“Elder, do you rember any of your accomplishnts, such as pills you invented or modified?” Mu Yu asked. “It will make it easier for us to find your profile.”

“No, we don’t have ti for this. Mu Yu, co with . I have sothing important to tell you,” commanded Helian Kong, flying outside.

Mu Yu cast a soundproof barrier once they arrived at a forest he created. “Elder, I have cast a soundproof formation here, so you can speak freely.”

“Mu Yu, listen carefully. You might not believe this. Anyhow, this is not sothing I am supposed to divulge. That said, I don’t have choice since you brought up Third Heaven Palace. You trust , don’t you?”

“You haven’t told anything yet!”

“I swore an oath to never ntion this. If I don’t honour my pledge, I’ll be struck down where I stand…”

“Elder, you have already died onc-, twice, so lightning won’t co after you. Besides, those sorts of oaths are just formalities. Speak without any concern.”

“This is serious!”

“I’m sorry.”

Fed up with Helian Kong pacing back and forth, Xiaoshuai fired a lon seed from his mouth. “Old Man, I don’t want to spend the night out here. Can you make up your mind already?”

“Stop interrupting . This is a secret I’ve kept for over five thousand years! I’ve never told anyone and can’t tell you.”

“Let’s head back, then.” Xiaoshuai yawned.

“I have no choice but to tell you now that the status quo has changed.”

“Say it already, then!” Xiaoshuai complained.

“I haven’t decided if I should tell you or not.”

“Oh. My. God! This old man must be ssing with us!”

Eventually… Helian Kong stopped. “Toss it. Consider dishonourable if you will. Mu Yu, I…”
