### Cultivated to Immortality

#### Chapter 532: Side Path Treasure Artifacts

It was a porcelain bowl. Its surface had no luster and appeared somewhat broken, yet the elder's eyes revealed an extremely serious expression.

Lin Xuan was slightly surprised but remembered the old saying: "One cannot judge a book by its cover." This principle applied to treasure artifacts as well. The other party knew that Lin Xuan wasn't easy to deal with, yet still brought out this item, indicating they had some reliance on it.

However, Lin Xuan naturally wasn't afraid of anything. He waved his hands and lightly cast them, transforming the drifting cloud and falling snow sword into a streak of blue light, which fiercely slashed at the opponent.

H Elder remained unperturbed. Before him was an ancient relic, and the earth wall that emerged from it was solid and heavy, sufficient to withstand the attack of Lin Xuan's immortal sword.

Meanwhile, he muttered words, rapidly tapping his head with both hands as if possessed. His actions were somewhat comical, but Lin Xuan didn't dare underestimate them. As the bowl followed the incantation, its color gradually deepened, emitting black and red light, taking on a mysterious appearance.

Although this was the first time Lin Xuan encountered such a treasure artifact, it didn't mean he had never heard of it before. According to common sense, it should be defensive in nature. The opponent seemed to want to drive it against an enemy. Could there be some hidden mechanism?

Just as Lin Xuan pondered this, "clink" came the sound. The bowl disappeared from H Elder's head and immediately Lin Xuan felt astonishing amounts of qi.

In shock, he looked up and saw that the bowl was inverted above him, its size expanding by a hundred times or more, trapping not only himself but also Moonie as well.

Lin Xuan's expression darkened. He glanced down to see countless black and red bodies. Unaware, he hadn't realized this artifact's purpose was to ensnare his opponent.

H Elder struck once, his eyes flashing with cruelty and cunning. His sleeves fluttered as several talismans flew out, forming a八卦shape on the bowl's surface. He then transformed into a streak of blue light and flew back to a room behind him.

Lin Xuan's face turned extremely ugly. In an instant, he realized the old man's intentions—his heavy scheming. Seeing that he couldn't match in combat, H Elder used this artifact to ensnare himself while he triggered the ancient prohibition array.

Lin Xuan wouldn't let him succeed. He opened his mouth and a silver ring treasure artifact shot out, spinning around before growing to a size of a foot or so. Lin Xuan gripped one with each hand.

This ring was beautifully crafted, its surface radiating unique spiritual light—precisely the Nine Heaven Bright Moon Ring he had refined through great effort.

Although he still had many other methods unutilized, the situation was urgent, and he didn't have time to experiment with his techniques. He directly took out his hidden treasure.

That bowl wasn't an ordinary object either. After trapping Lin Xuan and Moonie, it immediately released countless purple-red lightning flames inside.

Each flame's power wasn't particularly impressive, but when hundreds of them combined, even a peak condensation core cultivator could barely withstand for more than a moment or two before being blasted to pieces.

H Elder was confident in his artifact. Even if he couldn't kill that detestable sect master, trapping him temporarily would be no problem.

He flashed through the air and arrived at a room in the center of the manor within moments. The room was about ten feet square, empty inside except for intricate patterns on its surface, resembling a complex array.

This wasn't the ancient prohibition array.

Ancient cultivators had astonishing abilities; they could create arrays that gathered fire, but even with their immense power, it was impossible to make such an array so small.

This room contained only a part of the array—the central array eye. H Elder had plotted his revenge for centuries and thoroughly studied this array. With one glance, he understood its workings completely. A cruel expression flashed in his eyes as he reached out and tapped his waist pouch.

Several magical flags flew up, along with seven or eight differently colored middle-grade crystal stones appearing in his hands.

Finally, a flash of light revealed a triangular array disc.

A loud rumbling echoed in Lin Xuan's ears. H Elder turned to see the bowl's surface emitting silver light. His face changed.

Lin Xuan was indeed clever; not only had he survived the lightning flames but also broken through the prohibition. This boy truly was an heroic youth, but unfortunately, he stood in his way. The bowl wasn't easily breached. Even if it eventually broke free from the prohibition, the explosion of the ancient prohibition array would claim him as a sacrifice to Spirit Herb Mountain.

With this thought, H Elder sneered. He placed several middle-grade crystal stones at the center of the array and cast a spell.

"Woo woo."

A slightly muffled sound entered his ears. The solid surface suddenly became like soft marshland. The crystal stones sank in, only their tips remaining visible.

The array began to emit faint red light.

H Elder extended his finger and tapped a green magical flag floating before him.

After the flag's disappearance, he repeated this process, setting up other magical flags.

"Boom."

Just as H Elder was fully focused on setting up the flags, a thunderous explosion echoed in his ears. He froze, then raised his head with a look of shock.

No.

He instinctively rubbed his eyes and saw a silver hurricane rise from nowhere, connecting to the sky. The hurricane contained countless spinning wind blades, creating an impressive spectacle. His magical artifact for trapping demons had already shattered into countless pieces, falling to the ground.

"Pfft."

A mouthful of blood spewed out. This surprised Lin Xuan; he never expected that strange porcelain bowl was actually H Elder's life-bound treasure artifact.

After all, condensing a core was not easy, and a life-bound treasure artifact was one of the most precious things for cultivators—whether they were orthodox or evil. They usually chose powerful items primarily for attacks. Such side-path life-bound treasures were virtually unique.

Despite his surprise, Lin Xuan was delighted. He flicked his sleeves, and several silver wind blades shot out.

H Elder was naturally enraged. Taking a deep breath, he took out a talisman and pressed it to his chest, temporarily suppressing his injuries.

He reached out again, and the thick earth wall reappeared.

Just by delaying for a bit longer, he could continue setting up magical flags. Today was truly unlucky; after finally waiting for Fox Feathers to leave elsewhere, this good fortune had been ruined by Lin Xuan's brat.

"Boom." Dust flew as the earth wall shattered into pieces and returned to its original form of yellow cloth, now split into seven or eight parts. The artifact could block the drifting cloud and falling snow sword but faced the Nine Heaven Bright Moon Ring, it was only destroyed.
