The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chapter 1802: Chapter 1899: The Secret of Mountain Tu’s Ancient Spirit

Fang Lin’s face was unsightly, as he inadvertently repeated Mo Shouhe’s name several times in his mind, making it highly likely that Mo Shouhe would become aware of it.

A Martial Lord can connect with the heavens and earth, and anyone who mentions the name of a Martial Lord will be sensed by the heavens and earth, and also noticed by the Martial Lord.

Even silently reciting it in one’s mind can be unknowingly detected by a Martial Lord.

At this moment, Fang Lin was already beginning to worry whether Mo Shouhe might sense his presence, or even discover his anomaly.

After pondering for a moment, Fang Lin calmed his mind. Regardless of whether Mo Shouhe of this era had detected his presence, he still needed to peruse some ancient texts to uncover more secrets.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the vast heavens and earth, Mo Shouhe, as a Martial Lord, seemed to sense something, and slightly opened his eyes.

But just then, an extremely ancient figure appeared before him. Mo Shouhe abruptly stood up, staring at the newcomer.

"You’re dying soon, so why appear now?" Mo Shouhe inquired of the visitor, expressionless.

The old man was dressed in white, his face serene and aged. Merely standing there, he seemed to isolate a part of the heavens and earth.

Facing Mo Shouhe’s question, the old man smiled gently and responded calmly, "Before dying, I naturally wanted to see an old friend."

Mo Shouhe frowned slightly, "You didn’t come earlier, nor later, but choose to appear now. Did you do something?"

The old man shook his head repeatedly, "Why would I? What could I hide from Mo Martial Lord’s eyes?"

Mo Shouhe stared hard at the old man, seemingly intent on making a move.

The old man saw this without the slightest panic. Even in the face of the invincible Mo Martial Lord, he showed no fear.

Because he too was a Martial Lord!𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"If it comes to a fight, though my days are numbered, you, Mo Martial Lord, might not necessarily gain an advantage. Beware, old man might drag you down the road with me," the old man said leisurely, speaking of life and death as if it were a trivial matter.

However, Mo Shouhe was somewhat annoyed. Although he was confident in defeating this old man, as they both stood at the pinnacle of Martial Arts, if the old man truly cared nothing for his life and sought mutual destruction, Mo Shouhe knew he might very well perish alongside him.

Mutual destruction? That was something Mo Shouhe could never accept. Not to mention mutual destruction, even a slight reduction in his lifespan was a choice he was unwilling to make.

For Mo Shouhe, life was the most important thing of all, surpassing everything else.

"Even if you’ve done something, it would hardly affect me. Whatever is destined to come will come," Mo Shouhe said coldly, yet without the intention to act anymore.

The old man smiled slightly, "Yes, what’s destined to come will eventually come."

Saying this, the old man glanced towards the direction of Pill Saint Palace, his heart heavy with introspection.

"Young one from the future, when the time comes to make a decision, do not hesitate."

Fang Lin stood on the second floor of the Book Collection Tower, holding a half-piece of a stele in his hand, which recorded secrets about Martial Lords.

It was only at this moment that Fang Lin truly understood that in the heavens and earth right now, not only was there Mo Shouhe as a Martial Lord, but another existed as well.

Furthermore, many ancient stone inscriptions here were personally handed over by that Martial Lord to Pill Saint Palace for secret safekeeping.

As for the significance of these things being entrusted to Pill Saint Palace, it was impossible to know, but Fang Lin faintly sensed that these things might be intended for him.

"Mo Shouhe once sought the Aging Reversing Pill but failed, whereas in my previous life, I will refine the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill a thousand years later," Fang Lin thought to himself, feeling as though he had grasped something crucial.

"Mo Shouhe’s lifespan is limited. He wants to use the Aging Reversing Pill to rejuvenate and extend his lifespan, but having failed to obtain it, he will inevitably focus on the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill that I will refine a thousand years from now."

"If Mo Shouhe obtains the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill I refine, he would become an eternal existence beyond life and death. What kind of outcome would that bring?"

"The stone engraving says Mo Shouhe is the incarnation of the Ancient Spirit of Mountain Tu. If Mo Shouhe obtains the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill, it would be equivalent to that Ancient Spirit of Mountain Tu obtaining it."

"Will all beings under heaven become the domain of Mountain Tu?"

"The great calamity leading to the extinction of all beings was not caused by Mo Shouhe, but by that Ancient Spirit of Mountain Tu?"

"Mo Shouhe has already appeared in the future, though not at his peak, but as a Martial Lord, yet father has still not shown up."

"According to mother, father couldn’t free himself to deal with Mo Shouhe, which should also mean he’s facing an existence at least not weaker than Mo Shouhe. Could it be the Ancient Spirit of Mountain Tu? Or perhaps the original Demon Saint?"

"If Mo Shouhe or the Ancient Spirit of Mountain Tu didn’t get the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill and couldn’t make themselves eternal, they would seek other methods."

"If so, then the true reason for the great calamity is the Ancient Spirit of Mountain Tu using the life force of all beings to prolong its existence?"

"But if Mo Shouhe or that Ancient Spirit of Mountain Tu obtained the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill, wouldn’t there be no great calamity?"

"No! There’s something unclear here! If Mo Shouhe got the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill, there might be an even worse outcome!"

····

Standing still, Fang Lin’s mind was like a stormy sea, with various guesses emerging constantly and then being overturned, slowly making sense of many originally confusing matters based on the secrets he saw.

He finally understood that many things were not as he initially thought and were far more complex than he imagined.

When Mo Shouhe appeared amongst the Ten Thousand Mountains, Fang Lin thought everything was caused by Mo Shouhe, but now it seemed Mo Shouhe was just one of many orchestrators.

"Is the purpose of my returning to this era to stop Mo Shouhe from obtaining the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill?" Fang Lin muttered to himself.

Suddenly, a strange look crossed Fang Lin’s face, "Since no one can be allowed to obtain the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill, why don’t I just stop myself in this life from refining it? As long as I don’t have the intent to refine the pill in this life, everything can change."

Thinking this, Fang Lin felt it made sense. As long as he abandoned the thought of refining the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill in this life, many things would become much simpler.

Just then, all the arrays on the second floor of the Book Collection Tower activated, and a formidable force pressed on Fang Lin, rendering him immobile.

"Oh no! I’ve been discovered!" Fang Lin’s face changed drastically.

Several silhouettes simultaneously stormed into the Book Collection Tower, the experts responsible for guarding the tower from Pill Saint Palace. Without further ado, they captured Fang Lin.
