Chapter 329 Binding
Mo Ming was slightly taken aback. This wasn't the first time he'd heard of such an operation, but most magical artifacts capable of integrating into one's spiritual sea of consciousness were extremely rare, and most were growth-oriented divine artifacts. He hadn't expected that the Bronze Refining Heaven Cauldron could also achieve this.
"In that case, there's nothing to worry about."
A flicker of joy flashed in Mo Ming's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by caution. Binding such a powerful magical artifact would inevitably require a significant expenditure of mental energy, and might even place a burden on his divine sense.
"However, since this bronze Heaven-Refining Cauldron can be repaired, it means that it has already established some kind of connection with me. Perhaps the binding process won't be too difficult." Mo Ming muttered to himself, then nodded and decided to give it a try.
"Bind!"
With Mo Ming's confirmation, the bronze Refining Cauldron once again shone with a dazzling bronze light. Within the light, the runes on the cauldron lit up one by one, as if they had been activated, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.
At the same time, Mo Ming felt his consciousness being drawn by some kind of force, as if an invisible wave was establishing a connection with his spiritual world. He closed his eyes and focused on feeling this force.
The bronze Refining Heaven Cauldron slowly rose and hovered in mid-air. The cauldron began to shrink and eventually transformed into a bronze-colored stream of light that shot straight towards Mo Ming's brow.
"Om-"
Mo Ming's mind trembled, and his spiritual sea was instantly filled with a vast power. He saw a vast and boundless void, in the center of which the bronze Heaven-Refining Cauldron floated silently, emitting a faint light.
"This is my spiritual sea of consciousness..." Mo Ming was somewhat surprised.
He had previously explored his spiritual sea of consciousness through cultivation, but never with such clarity. The integration of the Bronze Refining Heaven Cauldron seemed to ignite his spiritual world, making his entire sea of consciousness more stable and expansive.
The bronze Heaven-Refining Cauldron slowly rotated in the sea of consciousness, and the runes on the cauldron seemed to come alive, emitting a faint glow.
Mo Ming could clearly feel that this magical artifact had completely merged with him, and he could summon it at any time with just a thought.
"It actually worked..." Mo Ming opened his eyes, a look of undisguised excitement on his face.
He tried to move his mind, and the Bronze Refining Heaven Cauldron immediately flew out of his sea of consciousness and reappeared in front of him.
"Retract!" Mo Ming thought again, and the Bronze Refining Heaven Cauldron transformed into a stream of light, returning to his spiritual sea.
The whole process was smooth and without any obstacles.
However, he soon discovered a new surprise.
After the bronze Heaven-Refining Cauldron was integrated into his spiritual sea, his spiritual perception ability seemed to be significantly enhanced.
He closed his eyes and released a sliver of his divine sense, and was able to clearly perceive every detail within a radius of a hundred meters, even the movement of an ant.
"This...is this a change brought about by the Heaven Refining Cauldron?"
Mo Ming was shocked. He knew that the Bronze Refining Heaven Cauldron itself contained powerful spatial energy, and as its container, the spiritual sea of consciousness would naturally be strengthened to a certain extent.
"It seems that the function of this bronze Heaven-Refining Cauldron is far more than what is described," Mo Ming thought to himself.
He tried to communicate with the Bronze Refining Cauldron in his spiritual sea of consciousness and discovered that the independent space inside the cauldron could also be entered through his consciousness.
It was a vast space, enveloped in a bronze glow, filled with an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.
There was a huge bronze altar in the space, covered with complex runes, which seemed to be the core used to activate the power of the Heaven Refining Cauldron.
In addition, there is a spiritual field-like area in the space, which seems to be used to grow spiritual materials.
"This space... can actually nurture spiritual materials!"
Mo Ming was overjoyed. He knew that many precious spiritual materials required special environments to grow, and the space inside the Bronze Refining Heaven Cauldron clearly possessed such conditions.
"In the future, I can try transplanting some rare spiritual materials here. Maybe I can even cultivate higher-grade spiritual creatures." Mo Ming secretly pondered, his anticipation for the Bronze Refining Heaven Cauldron growing even stronger.
However, although the Bronze Refining Heaven Cauldron is powerful, Mo Ming can only see these things at the moment; the rest of the area is shrouded in white mist.
Every time Mo Ming tried to penetrate his consciousness, it was blocked.
"It seems my cultivation level is still too low," Mo Ming muttered to himself.
He knew that the full power of the Bronze Refining Heaven Cauldron required a higher level of cultivation to be fully unleashed, and he had only touched the tip of the iceberg.
It can only perform simple storage and refining, and the storage space is very limited. Refining is only applicable to some spiritual plants and materials.
Mo Ming snapped out of his reverie about the Bronze Refining Cauldron, feeling slightly excited, but quickly calmed down.
He had been in the secret realm for seven days, and a lot must have happened outside. He needed to find out the current situation of the sanctuary as soon as possible, especially the situation of each squad, and whether any unexpected events had occurred while he was away.
He quickly gathered his thoughts and then summoned the captains of the sanctuary and Duoduo to the Bronze Hall to report the situation.
Before long, the doors of the main hall slowly opened, and the seven squad leaders walked in one by one.
Captain Lala of the Seventh Division stepped in first. Lala was petite but had a fierce aura. She held a short sword in her hand and had a hint of unruliness in her eyes.
She greeted him as soon as she entered: "Lord Mo Ming, you're finally back! We've been waiting for you for days."
Following closely behind was Irene, the captain of the Sixth Division, a woman in a robe with a cold and elegant demeanor, who always held a longbow engraved with runes in her hand.
She nodded slightly, her tone calm: "Chief, it's been seven days, and your aura has grown stronger. It seems you've gained a lot from this trip to the secret realm."
The Fifth Division Captain, Xi Wuxu, is arguably the most mysterious and enigmatic of all the division captains. He wears a black robe and a half-mask covering his face. He walks almost silently and exudes an eerie aura.
Upon seeing Mo Ming, he nodded slightly, called out "Leader," and then pulled up a chair and sat down in the corner.
The fourth division captain, Rocks, and the third division captain, Manmon, were similar in build and both very burly. The moment the two entered the door together, Mo Ming had a strange feeling that the bronze door was about to break.
Second Division Captain Yi Xinghe, dressed in white, with a handsome face and gentle temperament, said softly, "Greetings, Leader."
When Lia, the captain of the First Division, saw Mo Ming, her originally cold and beautiful expression softened slightly.
She was under immense pressure during the few days Mo Ming was away! Especially after the sneak attack by Ghost Cry and the others, although Mo Ming's pets dealt with it perfectly, she was still worried that something similar might happen again.
So I haven't had a proper rest these past few days. Even when it's not my shift, I often go out to patrol.
It was only because of her title as the captain of this squad that Mo Ming trusted her and placed high hopes on her.
Dodo skipped and hopped behind Liya, carrying a plate of snacks in her hand. She said with a grin, "Chief, you're finally back! Did you eat the tea and snacks I brought you earlier? If not, I'll go get some more!"
Looking at these familiar faces, Mo Ming felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He waved his hand, gesturing for everyone to sit down, and then said seriously, "Thank you all for your hard work."
I spent seven days in the secret realm. How is the shelter? Has anything happened?
