"It seems I won't get anything good this time..." As he reached the last draw, Ao Yuan had lost all hope.
He sighed to himself, but before he could finish his sentence, his expression froze.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Myriad Beasts Cauldron]
[Note: Myriad Beasts Cauldron, a cauldron lost by the Divine Dragon clan!]
[It can forge artifacts and concoct pills!]
Ao Yuan's voice abruptly cut off. After a moment of stunned silence, he became utterly exhilarated.
Myriad Beasts Cauldron!
Although the system's explanation was brief, the mere mention of it being lost by the Divine Dragon clan was enough.
How could a forging cauldron lost by the Dragon clan be an ordinary item?
Or rather, would an ordinary item be worthy of the term "lost"?
Suppressing his thoughts, Ao Yuan began to carefully examine the Myriad Beasts Cauldron that had appeared out of thin air.
The Myriad Beasts Cauldron lived up to its name.
It was a heavy cauldron with thick corners, each inscribed with a different color. These colors corresponded to the four divine beasts: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise.
Although merely carved, these four beasts were rendered with lifelike detail, as if they were alive.
Looking further up.
The body of the cauldron was engraved with mountains, rivers, the sun, moon, stars, and figures of various demonic beasts.
On the eight largest cardinal directions, several fierce beasts were depicted with bared fangs and menacing stances.
The carvings were exquisite and incredibly lifelike.
At first glance, it seemed as though they would leap out of the cauldron at any moment.
Looking down from above.
Ao Yuan made another astonishing discovery.
The top of the cauldron was engraved with a massive and ferocious dragon head, rendered with startling realism.
The sense of authenticity it conveyed far surpassed that of the other demonic beasts.
Moreover, this dragon head emanated a unique pressure, characteristic of the Dragon clan.
At this point, Ao Yuan also learned more about the Myriad Beasts Cauldron from the system.
The Myriad Beasts Cauldron was forged by a powerful figure of the Dragon clan and had always been highly prized.
It was only lost during a great battle long ago.
The Dragon clan was still searching for the Myriad Beasts Cauldron to this day.
"Truly worthy of being called the Myriad Beasts Cauldron!" Ao Yuan couldn't help but exclaim, overjoyed.
Although what he had drawn wasn't one of the exorbitant cauldrons from the Faith Mall, the Myriad Beasts Cauldron was still excellent.
And for some reason, Ao Yuan felt that compared to other cauldrons, the Myriad Beasts Cauldron was a better fit for him.
"Excellent!"
With a wave of his hand, Ao Yuan quickly put away the Myriad Beasts Cauldron and then devoted himself wholeheartedly to poring over the Forging Manual.
Now that everything was ready, all that was needed was the opportunity.
Once he had mastered the Forging Manual, he could begin forging artifacts!
Speaking of forging, Ao Yuan was genuinely curious about what kind of weapons he would create with his own hands.
During this period of studying the Forging Manual, Ao Yuan specifically instructed Dai Xiao Mei, Mo Zi, and the rest not to look for him.
Ao Yuan!
He had officially entered seclusion for this matter.
After Ao Yuan entered seclusion, the world had undergone a profound transformation.
Initially!
After the battle concluded, Ao Yuan had fiercely fought a god and ultimately annihilated it.
Ao Yuan then established the Demon Court single-handedly!
These pieces of news exploded across the networks of various countries.
No one had expected Ao Yuan to be so powerful, let alone to establish the Demon Court.
Now!
With the spiritual energy resurgence, powerful figures roamed the Blue Star.
Yet, none dared to compare themselves to Ao Yuan.
There were even rumors!
A single Demon Court was enough to contend with all the forces on the Blue Star.
And Ao Yuan alone could withstand ninety percent of those forces!
This rumor immediately caused a massive stir online.
However, no one stepped forward to deny it.
It seemed...
Everyone had thoroughly accepted Ao Yuan's might!
After this event, Ao Yuan seemed to have vanished, making no public appearances online.
Only Dai Xiao Mei and Mo Zi would occasionally stream when they had time.
Every time they went live, they would attract countless viewers.
These viewers were not only from Great Xia but also from countries around the world.
Under the gaze of people from all nations, everyone also gained a clear understanding of the Demon Court!
From its inception to the present, in just a few dozen days, the Demon Court had developed a remarkably clear organizational structure.
Various demonic beasts and demon kings performed admirably within the Demon Court.
If not for their demonic beast appearances, at first glance, they would appear no different from a nation.
And precisely because of this, even though Ao Yuan did not show himself, no one dared to underestimate the Demon Court.
With the current power of the Demon Court and its excellent order, it far surpassed many small nations.
As the Demon Court steadily developed, with the further resurgence of spiritual energy, countries were also developing steadily.
The number of powerful cultivators in various countries was increasing.
Now, newly born small worlds, before their inhabitants could even emerge, were easily annihilated by various countries.
Unless they were particularly troublesome small world creatures.
However, such exceptionally troublesome small world creatures were exceedingly rare.
In over a month, one only appeared in Fusang.
At that time, it caused widespread panic in Fusang, but in the end, with the joint efforts of all nations, the small world was conquered within a day.
During this period, strange creatures continued to appear.
They were different from other small world creatures and their origins were unknown.
However, each of them possessed formidable strength.
Some countries, under the assault of these strange creatures, were reduced to subjugated territories under their control.
But other countries did not choose to fight them, acting as if they were unaware of the situation.
Even some powerful nations proactively contacted these strange powerhouses and treated them as honored guests!
And these strange creatures did not seem to mind being exposed to the public.
Among these strange creatures!
Some were exceptionally active online, their appearances frequently found on the internet.
These included a riding elephant elder in Bai Xiang Country.
The giant elephant could fly through the heavens and traverse the seas, while the elder was gaunt and emaciated.
He often raised his left hand, and it was unclear what he was doing.
Fusang.
According to rumors, ghostly wails were often heard from a shrine.
Someone coincidentally captured a massive shadow within, and what was shocking was that the massive shadow seemed to have eight heads!
In short.
As the spiritual energy on the Blue Star continued to surge.
Not only did the number of cultivators increase, but various inexplicable phenomena also emerged.
No one knew what these all signified!
But regardless of who it was, there was a sense of impending change.
While extraordinary phenomena and strange creatures appeared in various countries.
The Demon Court!
It remained as peaceful as ever.
As if completely unaware of the news circulating online.
And as the external rumors grew more numerous and peculiar.
Deep within the Dragon Palace!
Ao Yuan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly opened his eyes!
A golden light flashed and vanished within his pupils!
"It's finally done!"
A hoarse voice emanated from the depths of the Dragon Palace.
