The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 2624 Matthew's Surprise

Matthew's figure slowly emerged from the void. As soon as he stood still, his eyes swept around like lightning.

In the distant sky, several streams of light were flying rapidly towards us, and in the blink of an eye they were close.

Xing Yan, Yue Ru and others arrived from the air, and before they got close, an ecstatic look appeared on their faces.

"Meet the master!"

Xingyan and Yueru, one on the left and one on the right, led everyone to bow and salute.

The clear sound echoed in the air, and everyone's eyes were shining with admiration and excitement.

Matthew raised his hand gently, his fingertips contained invisible spiritual power, and a gentle force surged out, lifting everyone up steadily.

"Everyone, get up." His voice was not loud, but it carried unquestionable majesty.

Matthew moved his fingers slightly, and an invisible force lifted them all up.

"How long has it been?" Matthew looked at Xingyan and asked.

Xing Yan replied respectfully: "Master, it has been exactly five years since the end of the war."

Matthew nodded slightly.

This time span was within his expectations. After all, the impact of the battle back then was too great and it would take time to calm down the aftermath.

"You guys worked hard in the previous battle."

Matthew looked around at everyone, his eyes gentle but dignified, "Today, I will grant each of you an opportunity."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone became excited.

Matthew waved his sleeves, and several golden rays of light burst out from his fingertips, each of which contained extremely pure energy.

These spiritual lights penetrated into everyone's eyebrows like living things and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"This opportunity requires a long time to comprehend. You should enter the Green Dragon Bracelet and slowly experience it." Matthew said lightly, and the Green Dragon bracelet on his wrist suddenly burst into a dazzling green light.

Everyone did as they were told and filed in.

However, when the green light was about to close, Matthew's eyes fell on Yueru, who was standing at the end.

"Master, do you have something you want to tell me in private?" Yueru was keenly aware of something unusual and bowed down.

Matthew looked at her deeply and nodded slowly: "I'm afraid Yue Ling's background is not simple. Just in case, I need to seal some of her power first."

As soon as he finished speaking, a dazzling golden light suddenly appeared in Matthew's palm.

The light was like liquid golden liquid, flowing slowly in his palm, emitting a heart-pounding pressure.

Yueru's heart trembled and she subconsciously tensed her body, but she forced herself not to take a step back.

Matthew's mind moved, and the golden light suddenly turned into a golden disk, floating between him and Yueru.

The disc is engraved with mysterious and complex patterns, and each pattern seems to contain the ultimate truth of heaven and earth.

"Hold out your hand," Matthew said softly.

Yueru took a deep breath and raised her hand slightly.

The golden disc slowly flew in front of her, and suddenly turned into a stream of light and went directly into her palm.

"what!"

Yue Ru's delicate body trembled, and a look of pain instantly appeared on her face.

She covered her forehead with her hands tightly, her knuckles turned white from the force, and her whole body was staggering.

However, even so, she gritted her teeth and did not utter a cry of pain, her eyes full of absolute trust in Matthew.

After a moment, the look of pain gradually faded away, replaced by an indescribable shock.

Yue Ru opened her eyes, and a strange light flashed deep in her pupils.

"Master!" she called softly, with an unprecedented piety in her voice.

Matthew shook his head slightly: "You should study this thing carefully. It may come in handy if you want to control Yue Ling in the future."

"Yes, sir!" Yueru bowed respectfully, her eyes gleaming with enlightenment.

She clearly felt that ten golden light streams suddenly appeared in her body.

These streams of light flow through the meridians like living things, and each one contains unimaginable energy.

In comparison, everyone else only got one opportunity, but she got ten. This preference is self-evident.

"Don't make this public. You can go in too." Matthew waved his hand, and the Green Dragon Bracelet emitted green light again.

Yueru looked at Matthew deeply, then bowed and retreated into the bracelet.

After everyone entered the Azure Dragon Bracelet, Matthew stood alone, gazing deep into the distance.

His fingers unconsciously stroked the Qinglong bracelet, as if he was thinking about something.

"Yue Ling..." he murmured in a low voice, with a complicated look in his eyes.

Although the war five years ago has ended, the hidden dangers it left behind are far from being eliminated.

Yue Ling's identity remains a mystery, and sealing her power today is just a stopgap measure.

Matthew floated quietly in the void, his thoughts gently touching the complete picture of the human world in his mind.

At this moment, his mind was focused on an inconspicuous little point.

"White Moon Island..."

Matthew murmured softly, a hint of reminiscence in his eyes.

This small island is of great significance to him. When he first arrived at the God Prison Sea, this was his first stop.

Time flies, things have changed and people have changed. Is Baiyue Island still the same as we remember?

With a slight movement of his mind, Matthew's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.

The next moment, he appeared on a small island.

The island is not big and is surrounded by the sea. The vegetation on the island is sparse, and a few rugged rocks are scattered randomly on the beach. The waves hit the reefs on the shore, making bursts of roars.

"It's still the same..." Matthew shook his head slightly, a trace of disappointment flashing in his eyes.

Although White Moon Island was remote, it was not spared when the demons invaded.

There was no one on the island at the moment, only the sound of the sea breeze and the waves echoed on the island, making it seem particularly lonely.

Ma Zheng was about to leave when he suddenly felt uneasy.

His spiritual awareness spread out like a tide, instantly covering the entire island.

At this moment, he sensed a faint breath of life in a hidden cave on the island.

"Huh?" There was a hint of surprise in Matthew's eyes.

This breath was extremely weak. If it weren't for his powerful spiritual sense, he would probably not be able to detect it at all.

What concerned him even more was that this breath contained a familiar feeling, as if it was related to a name deep in his memory.

Matthew's figure flashed, and the next moment he appeared at the entrance of the cave.

The entrance to the cave is not big and is covered by some vines and rocks. It is difficult to find its existence unless you look for it specifically.

"Here..." Matthew's eyes narrowed slightly, and a name that he hadn't thought of for a long time suddenly appeared in his mind - Huang Chao.

When he left Baiyue Island, he set up numerous killing arrays here and asked Huang Chao to stay here to guard the teleportation array.

Now, many years have passed, and those killing formations have long been ineffective, but there seem to be traces of other magic formations left in the cave, and he also felt a hint of Huang Chao's aura in it.

The magic array here has absolutely no effect on Matthew. Even the early warning magic arrays cannot sense Matthew's presence at this moment.

Matthew walked slowly into the cave, his spiritual sense having already explored the internal situation clearly.

The cave was dark and damp, with moss growing on the walls and some dead branches and leaves scattered on the ground.

At the deepest point, a faint light flickered.

Matthew's eyes fixed, and he walked quickly towards the light. As the distance shortened, he finally saw the scene deep in the cave - a white-haired old man was sitting cross-legged, closing his eyes and regulating his breathing.

The old man was wearing a tattered gray robe, his face was haggard, and his breath was not very stable, but his cultivation had already reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

He seemed unaware of Matthew's arrival and was still immersed in his own practice.
