X-Dragon Era

Moreover... this is, after all, a gang structure. Although no actual power is held in hand, in fact, the power still rests in Xin Yun's hands, a true example of control without holding onto it!

While on the surface, the Enforcement Team is under Yan Qingying's management, the Protectorate Team is overseen by Ming Xuan, and the entire gang is coordinated by Yi Luo Xiang, these three are not the highest authority. As for the gang, it is the gang leader who possesses the ultimate power.

For a gang, there is no right or wrong; what the leader says is right, then it is right—even if it's wrong, it's right. If the leader says it's wrong, then it's wrong—even if it's right, it's wrong.

Whether a gang is righteous or evil is not decided by any one manager but by the gang leader. Although it seems that Xin Yun has no power on the surface, who would dare disobey an order from Xin Yun?

Of course, although the leader has unlimited power, he cannot act recklessly; otherwise, once he incurs public anger, the gang will probably not last long.

Xin Yun, after all, has lived through three lifetimes. Although he still yearns for power, he no longer has the inclination to grasp it personally. It seems that Xin Yun has no power, but similarly, he need not worry about these matters and can focus on cultivating, enhancing his own strength.

The other three, while seemingly in control of actual power, must expend a great deal of physical and mental energy for such power, which will inevitably delay their cultivation progress.

However, even knowing this, if given the choice, the vast majority would still prefer to be the actual power holder. Everyone likes to be the emperor, not the Emperor Supreme. Logically speaking, the emperor must listen to the Emperor Supreme, who has the right to depose the emperor, but everyone still wants to be the emperor, the real power holder.

Observing the guilt-ridden expressions of the three, Xin Yun shook his head and said, "Alright, we are all one of us, and power in anyone's hands is the same. The key is for us to come together and make a great undertaking; everything else is secondary."

"Mhm, mhm, mhm..." Hearing Xin Yun's words, Ming Xuan solemnly said, "Rest assured, we will definitely not let you down."

Smiling with a nod, Xin Yun wanted to avoid lingering on this topic and directly took out three small booklets, handing them to the three before him, he said, "Here are the methods for refining your magical treasures. Take them back and study them well. If there's anything you don't understand, come ask me. However... after reading, destroy these as soon as possible, and refine your treasures quickly—the sooner you refine them, the more benefits you gain; do not neglect this."

Receiving the manuals, the three were overjoyed. After understanding the benefits of these three treasures, who could restrain themselves? They said their farewells to Xin Yun and quickly returned to their rooms to carefully start reading the booklets.

Having put away the Zhu Xian Four Swords, Xin Yun returned to his secret chamber. He placed the four Treasure Swords in front of him, furrowed his brows in thought, and after pondering a while, Xin Yun spread his hands and summoned the Chaos Bell. The small Mysterious Yellow bell floated before Xin Yun's chest, wrapped in swirling Chaos energy, appearing quite peculiar.

This Chaos Bell was something Xin Yun would never lend out. As the nesting ground for the Sky-opening Axe, the power of the Chaos Bell was incomparably vast. Although it couldn't attack or defend, it was nonetheless not weaker than other supreme treasures if used appropriately!

Perhaps you may wonder, if he doesn't lend it, then what is in the hands of the Five Rats? Actually... the small cauldron in the hands of the Five Rats cannot be considered the Chaos Cauldron. Strictly speaking, it's merely five entrances that can open and close. Once an entrance is opened, the Five Rats can channel the devouring power to absorb objects around them into the Chaos Cauldron. After everything is absorbed, close it up—those five small cauldrons are merely the five movable entrances of the Chaos Cauldron: things can go in but cannot come out!

Of course, if anyone plans to sneak into the Chaos Cauldron's space, it's not impossible, but... unless they are Saints, once they enter the chaos, they would probably be immediately turned to ashes by the chaotic currents. And if a Saint wanted to deal with Xin Yun at this moment, why bother with such a hassle? Just eradicate him directly. Besides... there are no Saints in this world now.

Moreover, even if a Saint entered the Chaos Cauldron, it wouldn't have any real significance. Innate treasures are the embodiment of laws, and laws are unbreakable. Therefore, Xin Yun is utterly unconcerned.@@novelbin@@

On the surface, the role of the Chaos Cauldron seems minimal, merely reflecting the Innate and refining all things, but in fact, its power is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

When used to attack, the Chaos Cauldron can generate a powerful suction force. Any creature drawn into the Chaos Ingots will turn to ashes under the scouring of the chaotic currents.

When used for defense, the Chaos Cauldron can rely on its devouring power to create a black hole, swallowing all attacks. Unless the opponent's attack exceeds the devouring force of the black hole, Xin Yun cannot be harmed.

Of course, this is Xin Yun's last ace up his sleeve, and under normal circumstances, it is not possible to use it. Usually, Xin Yun would still stand on the Tai Chi Diagram, with the Chaos Bell swirling above his head. Although the genuine articles are lent out, as long as the Sky-opening Axe Soul is with him, any replica can instantly become the real thing. The Sky-opening Axe Soul can endow the replica with laws, temporarily transforming it into the genuine article.

However, once Xin Yun produced the Zhu Xian Four Swords, it was no longer possible to simultaneously produce the Tai Chi Diagram and Chaos Bell. With the four souls each infused into one of the four swords, only one soul remains and cannot endow two magical treasures with laws at the same time.

Therefore, while wielding the Zhu Xian Four Swords, Xin Yun can only produce the Chaos Cauldron, creating a black hole for defense. As long as Xin Yun stands in the middle of the black hole, he is safe. To harm Xin Yun, one must first fill the devouring force of the black hole with attacks. As long as the black hole is not extinguished, Xin Yun remains unbeaten.

The reason the Chaos Cauldron can automatically hover in front of Xin Yun's chest is actually that Xin Yun has already refined it. The Chaos Cauldron is too important; no accidents can occur. Otherwise, the process of repairing the Sky-opening Axe would be forcibly terminated, and the impact would be revolutionary.

Having refined the Chaos Cauldron, Xin Yun is now facing the Zhu Xian Four Swords. It is impossible to wield them with the power of one person, even with the Sky-opening Axe Soul.

Therefore, Xin Yun must now separate the Sky-opening Axe Soul, creating Four Great Sword Souls, each governing a direction—east, south, west, north—presiding over the Zhuxian Land and the gates of water, fire, and wind. Only in this way can the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation be deployed at any time!

But now the issue is, the Sword Souls must be separated from Xin Yun, which would greatly hurt him and reduce his strength. The degree of reduction is for Xin Yun to decide.

All in all, if Xin Yun wants the Sword Souls to be stronger, his own diminishment will be greater. If he only divides out four weak Sword Souls, like infants, then the impact on Xin Yun will be minor. However, the Sword Souls would be as weak as infants, hardly helpful in the short term.

Pensively staring at the four Treasure Swords, Xin Yun agonized over his decision. Should he temporarily reduce his own power to the Bronze Nine Stars and divide into four Sword Souls of the same rank? Or should he maintain his current strength and create four infant-like weak Sword Souls? This is a question, indeed a significant question...(To be continued, for further details, please visit .
