His body trembled. Logan Clark, with his eyes closed, felt his consciousness pulled by an inexplicable force, entering his sea of consciousness!
This was a vast world—void and dark—but at the very center of the sea of consciousness, a broken purple cauldron floated, radiating a gentle purple light!
Logan Clark was startled and immediately exited his cultivation state, scrambling up in shock, his face filled with astonishment.
“How can I see the state of my own sea of consciousness? The inner world—only super experts above the tenth postnatal level can do this, right?”
He couldn’t help but be shocked. In martial arts, there are twelve realms of strength, and he was only at the second postnatal level—worlds away from the tenth!
“Could it be an illusion? Yes, it must be an illusion. Otherwise, how could there be a broken cauldron in a person’s sea of consciousness!”
Logan Clark muttered to himself, gradually calming down. He sat cross-legged again and re-entered his cultivation state.
Buzz!
His consciousness was once again pulled into the sea of consciousness. He saw that void, that darkness, and the floating broken cauldron.
“What’s going on!” Logan Clark opened his eyes. This time, he was certain that what he saw was no illusion, but something real!
If there’s one thing young people don’t lack, it’s a spirit of adventure and curiosity. Logan Clark sat cross-legged for the third time and entered the sea of consciousness again.
In this world, he could roam freely. As his consciousness approached the broken purple cauldron, Logan Clark instinctively realized that his changes must be related to this cauldron! The more he looked at it, the more familiar it seemed—wasn’t this the culprit that hit his head three days ago? It definitely was!
He had thought it was a stone, but it turned out to be a broken cauldron!
“But why is this cauldron in my sea of consciousness? That’s simply impossible!”
Though broken, the purple cauldron exuded a majestic aura, as if it could suppress the heavens and the earth, making one’s soul tremble. The complete cauldron should have had eight legs, but now only three remained, and the body was damaged.
“There are characters!”
Logan Clark noticed that each of the three remaining legs was engraved with a strange symbol. He half-recognized them, feeling as if these patterns contained some profound truth—indescribable, unfathomable, drawing him in irresistibly.
Buzz!
The purple cauldron suddenly trembled, sending ripples through the sea of consciousness. Logan Clark was forcibly ejected from the inner state, collapsing onto the bed.
“Weird! Too weird!” Logan Clark was utterly baffled. It seemed the purple cauldron was preventing him from examining those three symbols. After thinking for a moment, he took out brush, ink, and paper, and after racking his brains to recall, he wrote down one of the symbols he had seen on the cauldron.
Snap!
As the final stroke landed, the paper inexplicably shattered into pieces, scattering across the table! Logan Clark himself felt a wave of exhaustion, as if writing that symbol had drained all his energy!
“This…” Logan Clark was unconvinced. After regaining some strength, he took another sheet of paper and wrote a different symbol.
Snap!
Again, as the last stroke fell, the second sheet turned to scraps.
Logan Clark was stunned. Ignoring his splitting headache, he grabbed his brush and ran outside, writing the symbol on a stone about the size of his head.
Snap!
Without exception, the stone instantly crumbled to dust!
Logan Clark wrote the other two symbols as well, but no matter what he wrote them on, the object would immediately shatter—completely unreasonable!
“It’s as if some force in the dark forbids these three symbols from appearing. What kind of power is this, that a single symbol could have such terrifying might! If I drew these three symbols on a twelfth postnatal level expert, would they also instantly turn to dust?”
“Forbidden characters! Characters not tolerated by heaven and earth?”
“What exactly… have I obtained!”
He sat cross-legged and re-entered his sea of consciousness, coming before the purple cauldron. This time, he didn’t examine the three symbols on the legs, but instead looked at the cauldron’s body. To his disappointment, there was nothing unusual about it—no characters or patterns.
Logan Clark felt a bit let down. After some hesitation, he used his consciousness to gently touch the purple cauldron. Instantly, countless golden lights shot out from the cauldron, transforming into golden characters in his sea of consciousness, then fading away one by one.
An obscure cultivation method was imprinted into Logan Clark’s memory, merging into his blood and every cell!
“Chaos Furnace!”
Logan Clark murmured to himself—the name of the technique. This cultivation method used one’s own body as a furnace, refining all the powers of heaven and earth for oneself!
“Could such a miraculous technique really exist?”
“However, the three forbidden characters on the cauldron’s legs are enough to prove how extraordinary this purple cauldron is. So, the technique transmitted from the cauldron’s body must also be no ordinary thing!” Logan Clark could not hide his excitement. “Even though my talent for cultivation is poor, with the Chaos Furnace, I can refine all powers and make up for my lack of activated acupoints!”
“This is my great opportunity—it will surely help me rise from the ordinary to become a dragon!”
Logan Clark clenched his fist tightly.
