The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Seeing that Matthew did not forcefully ask questions, the old man nodded in satisfaction.

Then he said, "You already know about the heavenly punishment, so I won't say more about it. The horror of heavenly punishment is beyond your imagination, but I have something I need to tell you."

"The longer the Heavenly Punishment is suppressed, the greater its power becomes. The cause of the severe damage to the Treasure Cauldron was due to the Heavenly Punishment being suppressed for too long."

"If conditions permit, we can attract the Heavenly Punishment in advance. In this way, the power of the Heavenly Punishment will be stronger than that of ordinary thunder tribulation."

"However, according to your current preparations, I'm afraid you won't be able to resist the heavenly punishment."

After the old man finished speaking, he looked at Matthew, as if waiting for Matthew to speak.

"I will remember this matter and will try my best to find something that can resist the heavenly punishment." Matthew did not ask anything else, but nodded heavily.

He knew the importance of Baoding better than anyone else, and he wanted Baoding to stay with him forever.

His current achievements are closely related to Baoding.

Therefore, he was more eager than anyone else to resist the divine punishment.

Matthew's answer satisfied the old man. He nodded with satisfaction and continued, "It will take more than a hundred years for the punishment from heaven to fall. You don't have to be so anxious. If it doesn't work out by then, I will also take action."

"But I can only attack once. And after I attack, the tripod will immediately disappear into the void. Even if you are the owner of the tripod now, you will be completely unable to stop it from leaving at that time."

The old man's words made Matthew's face suddenly change.

This was the first time he knew about this.

Seeing that Matthew didn't say anything, the old man continued, "Of course, the heavenly punishment is not entirely a disadvantage. It also has a good side. If you can successfully resist the heavenly punishment and keep the tripod by your side, you will truly become the owner of the tripod."

"Let me tell you, the tripod had many previous owners, and each of them was extremely talented. Their cultivation was so high that you cannot imagine it, but in the end, they all died. They all died under the punishment of heaven!"

When the old man said the last sentence, his eyes suddenly fixed on Matthew.

Matthew also raised his eyes and looked at the other party.

After the two sides looked at each other, they suddenly burst into laughter.

"Do your best and depend on destiny."

Matthew uttered six words slowly.

"Good, you have courage. I can also tell you that no one has ever been able to truly become the owner of the tripod. I hope you can do it." The old man smiled and twirled his beard.

"I have a question, I hope you can answer it for me." Matthew asked with a smile on his face.

"You ask." The old man nodded slowly.

"Who made the tripod?" Matthew asked softly.

The magical effects of the tripod have already benefited Matthew greatly.

He really couldn't believe what kind of existence could refine such a heaven-defying tripod.

"Since you want to know this, I will tell you. It is impossible for anyone in the world to refine such a heaven-defying treasure. The tripod was born from the chaos when the world was first created."

"In the past, several owners of the tripods tried to make some imitations, but they all failed."

"So far, you are the only one who knows the origin of the tripod."

After the old man finished speaking, he saw that Matthew was about to ask more questions, so he quickly raised his hand to stop him.

"I don't have much time left, so let's talk about other things first," said the old man.

Although Matthew felt somewhat helpless about this, he had no choice but to nod in agreement.

He had also noticed that the old man's body had become a little more illusory than when he first appeared.

It must be really about to disappear.

"I have already greeted the girl in the space. She will assist you with all her strength in the future, but she will not help you directly."

The old man's speech speed obviously increased.

Matthew was a little surprised to hear the old man call the female ghost "nuwa". He didn't ask any more questions and nodded to indicate that he understood.

"One last thing. I will grant you a divine thought now. You can comprehend the two stone tablets, Forbidden Demon and Sealed Land. How much you can comprehend depends on your own luck."

After saying this, the old man raised his head and lightly touched Matthew's brow.

Suddenly, a cool feeling flooded into his mind.

In an instant, Matthew felt that his whole body became extremely clear.

Some things that I didn't understand before became clear to me at this moment.

While he was enjoying this strange feeling.

The body of the old man opposite had become almost transparent.

"The day when the divine punishment falls will be the day when I wake up again. I hope that by then you will have made full preparations." The old man looked at Matthew with some relief and said slowly.

After he finished speaking, his body became so thin that it was almost completely invisible.

Before the old man completely disappeared, he waved his arm lightly.

A ball of purple light suddenly appeared.

With a flash of purple light, Matthew's body immediately disappeared from the spot.

After Matthew disappeared, the old man's body also disappeared.

It was as if neither of them had ever been here.
