This Void Cauldron is of extremely high quality. Even an ordinary Primordial Spirit True Monarch without mastering the Taiyi Sect's secret techniques would find it difficult to control this magic tool. The uses of the Void Cauldron are boundless, but Taiyi Sect's junior cultivators with insufficient Cultivation Base can hardly unleash its main functions. They can only barely control it with some inherited secret techniques from the sect.
Even Gold Core Daoist Masters like Extreme Sword Spirit General cannot effectively utilize this magic tool. Initially, after the Taiyi Sect was rebuilt, they barely used this magic tool as if it were a hidden treasure.
Speaking of the Void Cauldron, it carries many mysterious colors and stories. After the peak of Taiyi Sect was annihilated, the Void Cauldron that was originally placed at the mountain gate suddenly turned into light and disappeared.
After the mountain gate incident, external cultivators of Taiyi Sect learned about the great changes that occurred within and rushed back to the sect. Some, however, quickly fled upon being alerted. Among them was a Gold Core Daoist Master named Zhou Qing, who was also on his way back to the sect.
Although Zhou Qing was a Gold Core Daoist Master, he was inconspicuous during the peak of Taiyi Sect. Among the Gold Core Daoist Masters, there was a distinction in status. The sect valued true disciples and Primordial Spirit seeds. Daoist Masters like Zhou Qing mostly handled specific sect affairs, had some power, but were not part of the core leadership and couldn't control the sect's major decisions.
The Void Cauldron, which transformed into light, unexpectedly flew onto Zhou Qing's path, blocking his way and revealing its form as a giant cauldron. Zhou Qing received some information from the Void Cauldron and immediately halted his return to the Taiyi Sect's mountain gate. Instead, he gathered the scattered Taiyi Sect disciples and led them northwards, far away to the Middle-Earth Continent.
Zhou Qing and the group of disciples fled to the northern edge of the Grand Crossing Mountain Range on the Middle-Earth Continent and rebuilt the Taiyi Sect there. Although Zhou Qing's Cultivation Base was average and not outstanding among the Gold Core Daoist Masters, he possessed great skill and capability. He managed to unite the scattered Taiyi Sect disciples and rebuild the sect together, leading to its prosperity for hundreds of years.
After the reconstruction of Taiyi Sect, the Void Cauldron, being the most important heirloom of the sect, was always enshrined at the mountain gate. Unfortunately, Zhou Qing had already passed away during meditation when the demonic calamity erupted.
After several Guardian Spirit Generals awakened, they mentioned Zhou Qing's contributions to Taiyi Sect in front of Meng Zhang. These lofty Guardian Spirit Generals held great admiration for Zhou Qing, stating that if he had still been in charge during the demonic calamity, the Taiyi Sect might not have faced its downfall. Due to the crucial role the Void Cauldron played in the reconstruction of Taiyi Sect, the later disciples, including the Guardian Spirit Generals, held deep reverence for this treasure. In fact, Fourth Rank magic tools, also known as treasured tools, mostly have their own tool spirit.
As a special kind of living being, Tool Spirits possess independent intelligence, and some of them are even smarter than humans. Within the Taiyi Sect, there are some Tool Spirits with ancient qualifications, and junior disciples even regard them as elders.The Void Cauldron also has a Tool Spirit, but most of the time, it remains in a dormant state and rarely appears in front of Taiyi Sect cultivators. This Tool Spirit holds a unique position and remains indifferent to the high-ranking elders and affairs of the rebuilt Taiyi Sect. The sect, now only a Gold Core sect, lacks Primordial Spirit True Monarchs, so it cannot fully refine the Void Cauldron and completely control this Fourth Rank magic tool.
During the outbreak of the demonic calamity, when the Taiyi Sect mountain gate was about to be breached, the Gold Core Daoist Masters of the sect tried to take the Void Cauldron and break through to safety. However, for some unknown reason, the Void Cauldron didn't cooperate and refused to leave the Taiyi Sect mountain gate. The Gold Core Daoist Masters exhausted all their methods, but they couldn't persuade the Void Cauldron.
Apart from its mysterious nature, the Void Cauldron had been in the Taiyi Sect mountain gate for hundreds of years and stored many crucial items related to the sect's heritage. Under no circumstances could the people of Taiyi Sect ignore it and let it fall into the hands of demons.
In desperation, the Gold Core Daoist Masters had to use secret techniques to stimulate a special ability of the Void Cauldron. It utilized the power of the Space Grand Dao to escape the surface space and hide in the spatial interstice. The Void Cauldron remained hidden in this spatial interstice for hundreds of years, without appearing in the outside world.
Now, Extreme Sword Spirit General and Deep Earth Spirit General have arrived at the entrance where the Void Cauldron originally escaped into the spatial interstice. They used the inherited secret techniques of the sect to elicit a response from the Void Cauldron and bring it out from the spatial interstice.
Before performing the ritual, Extreme Sword Spirit General was worried that the Void Cauldron might refuse to leave the Taiyi Sect mountain gate, just like it did before. Fortunately, this time the Void Cauldron cooperated and didn't give them any trouble, allowing them to take it away from the mountain gate.
However, when the Void Cauldron left the spatial interstice, it caused a change that led to the collapse of the spatial interstice, creating a powerful spatial storm that engulfed the entire mountain peak where the Taiyi Sect mountain gate was located, along with a massive number of demons, all sucked into an alternate dimension.
Now, facing the treasure that is the Void Cauldron placed in front of him, Meng Zhang feels somewhat troubled. Normally, since the Void Cauldron possesses a Tool Spirit with high intelligence, it should have some understanding of their current situation.
Several Guardian Spirit Generals had met the Tool Spirit of the Void Cauldron hundreds of years ago. Although the Tool Spirit didn't pay much attention to them at the time, they should have recognized each other and not be strangers.
Tool Spirits, being unique beings, have extremely long lifespans that far exceed most Primordial Spirit True Monarchs. A few hundred years is not too long for a Tool Spirit.
On their way back, the four Guardian Spirit Generals, including Extreme Sword Spirit General, took turns trying to communicate with the Tool Spirit of the Void Cauldron. However, this Tool Spirit was too aloof and did not respond at all. Now, the four Guardian Spirit Generals feel a bit embarrassed.
They had all mastered some of the sect's inherited secret techniques and could barely activate this Fourth Rank magic tool. However, that required the Tool Spirit to give up resistance and actively cooperate with them to make it work. But now, the Tool Spirit pays no attention to them, rendering the secret techniques they know ineffective.
