The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chapter 1749: Chapter 1846: Cultivation Recovery

Fang Lin laughed, "No problem, two hundred years is enough time for me to do many things, and there are ways to recover the lost years."

"True, relying on pills or rare treasures can certainly extend one’s lifespan, and as cultivation improves, lifespan gradually recovers," the Great Sage Equal to Heaven nodded and said.

Dugu Nian felt slightly relieved upon hearing this and said no more.

"I trouble the Demon Saint to dissolve my seal," Fang Lin said, his expression calm and decisive, without any hesitation.

The Great Sage Equal to Heaven replied, "It will begin in three days."

Fang Lin and Dugu Nian had no objections, being in need of a favor; after all, it was only a matter of three days, no need to rush.

That day, Fang Lin and Dugu Nian stayed in the Ancient Demon Ridge.

Fang Lin arrived in front of the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree, looking at the seemingly inconspicuous little sapling. Who would have thought this is the sacred tree of the Demon Beast clan?

Fang Lin now understood more about the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree than before. Its origins are extremely mysterious. In one of the ancient caves of tens of thousands of rivers and mountains, Fang Lin once saw murals related to the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree. Although he couldn’t quite grasp the meanings on the murals, since the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree appeared in the twelve murals, it surely conceals many unknown secrets.

Fang Lin’s current strength has a tremendous relation to this Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree, especially seven years ago when Fang Lin died in the land of the three sects; without the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree, Fang Lin wouldn’t be able to resurrect.

Even the True Dragon avatar was nurtured within the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree, using the True Dragon Demon Bone.

"What are you looking at?" The Great Sage Equal to Heaven appeared not far away, saying as he approached.

Fang Lin slightly bowed to the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, saying, "I’m looking at the Sacred Tree."

The Great Sage Equal to Heaven walked closer, also gazing at the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree, saying, "Nothing worth seeing, I’ve grown tired of looking at it all these years."

Fang Lin asked, "Does the Demon Saint know where this Sacred Tree came from?"

The Great Sage Equal to Heaven shook his head, "Not just me; even the past Demon Saints probably don’t know."

Fang Lin was silent. He had asked Jin Zhulong this question before, and the latter knew very little about the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree, since it already existed when the first Demon Saint was born.

"Could this Sacred Tree also have been created by some being?" Fang Lin suddenly said.

The Great Sage Equal to Heaven smiled disdainfully, "I would rather believe this Sacred Tree was born of heaven and earth."

Fang Lin nodded, "Indeed, such a powerful Sacred Tree, how could it be created? It must be born of heaven and earth."

"You look slowly, I need to go sleep now," the Great Sage Equal to Heaven turned and left.

Fang Lin stood before the Sacred Tree in reminiscence, a multitude of emotions in his heart, recalling many people and things.

For some reason, Fang Lin thought of the Old Pickle and the Millennia Corpse Ginseng.

When Fang Lin first came to Ancient Demon Ridge to receive the Sacred Tree’s blessing, he saw a vision that included the Millennia Corpse Ginseng.

Fang Lin felt then that the Millennia Corpse Ginseng might have some relation to the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree, but when he later asked that Old Pickle, he was baffled and knew nothing.

Fang Lin had suspected Old Pickle’s true origins before, but no matter how he asked, the fellow knew nothing; it only remembered awakening from the Endless Dungeon and then being brought out by Fang Lin, following Fang Lin ever since.

Never had Fang Lin felt anything before, but now, he vaguely sensed that Old Pickle might not be simple, especially if it had a connection with the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree; there must be something special about it.

Unbeknownst to Fang Lin, within the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree, a pair of indifferent eyes were watching him.

····

Three days passed, and Fang Lin and the Great Sage Equal to Heaven arrived at the peak of a mountain.

"Boy, I’m telling you, if you regret, now is the time," the Great Sage Equal to Heaven said to Fang Lin.

Fang Lin sat cross-legged, shaking his head, "Demon Saint, please proceed."

The Great Sage Equal to Heaven nodded, suddenly placing a hand on Fang Lin’s forehead.

"When dissolving the seal, there will be immense pain; just endure it for a while," the Great Sage Equal to Heaven said, as a hint of golden light began to shine from his hand.

Fang Lin’s body was enveloped in the golden light, and indeed the aura of the Sacred Tree subtly emanated.

The Great Sage Equal to Heaven was leveraging his power to stimulate the Sacred Tree power within Fang Lin, allowing the power of the Sacred Tree and the Demon Saint’s demon energy to work in unison from inside and outside, jointly breaking the seal.

During the process, just as the Great Sage Equal to Heaven said, an immense pain surged from the depths within, swiftly spreading throughout the body as if countless swords were about to burst outward from every part of the body.

Thankfully, Fang Lin was a seasoned warrior, having tasted all kinds of pain; though it felt like swords piercing his body now, he was able to grit his teeth and endure.

The Great Sage Equal to Heaven’s expression was solemn; the golden light in his palm grew more intense, and the pain Fang Lin endured also gradually increased.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!!!!

Fang Lin himself could hear, deep within his body seemed like a rushing river, blocked by something, so despite the river’s surge, it couldn’t flow throughout his body.

And at this moment, this river was constantly colliding with the seal blocking it; each clash would reduce Fang Lin’s lifespan.

The reduction in lifespan was something Fang Lin could clearly feel, this sensation of losing hundreds of years in a blink wasn’t pleasant, but Fang Lin remained calm without revealing any other emotions.

Dugu Nian watched quietly not far away, also serving as a protector for the Great Sage Equal to Heaven and Fang Lin, feeling worried for Fang Lin in her heart.

Visibly, Fang Lin’s hair gradually grayed, and a twilight aura spread from him like the setting sun.

This twilight aura should only appear on those nearing their end of life, but now, with Fang Lin’s lifespan continuously decreasing, it appeared on him too.

Even Fang Lin’s visage, which originally looked like he wasn’t yet twenty, now showed more traces of the vicissitudes of life.

Boom!!!!

Another impact, a trickle of blood leaked from Fang Lin’s mouth, dizziness swept over him, and the pain in his body pierced his consciousness, keeping him from passing out.

The Great Sage Equal to Heaven shouted, delivering a surge of powerful demon energy into Fang Lin’s body, with the Sacred Tree’s power cooperating inside and outside, finally breaking the seal.

"It’s finally done," the Great Sage Equal to Heaven exhaled and said.

Fang Lin barely opened his eyes, a heavy twilight within, trying to circulate the Nine Cauldron Skypassing Spell, indeed feeling ample cultivation flowing throughout his body.

"Huh?" Suddenly, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven’s expression changed, his Golden Flame Eye immediately inspecting Fang Lin’s body.
