The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 2050: The Secret of Spirit Island

After listening to what the old man Zi Ding said, Matthew's face, which was originally as calm as water, did not show any strange expression.

He was not at all surprised that the old man Zi Ding would say such words.

After all, if you put yourself in his shoes, if he were in the same situation, there is no doubt that he would make the same choice.

Because who in this world can tolerate having such a group of completely uncontrollable and wanton guys under their command?

These people are like poisonous snakes hiding in the dark. They might suddenly jump out and bite you hard at any time.

Therefore, it is wisest to completely eliminate them.

Thinking of this, Matthew raised his head slightly, looking straight at the darkness in front of him, with curiosity in his eyes, and asked softly: "So, may I ask, Senior, what are you going to do next?"

At this moment, Matthew was no longer as uneasy as before.

Because as long as the old man Zi Ding is willing to take the initiative to express his attitude and thoughts, the worries and concerns hidden deep in his heart will naturally be alleviated a lot.

But if this old man Zi Ding remained silent and refused to reveal a word, then he would probably have no choice but to carry out the plan he had originally planned.

"That pagoda is the real core of Dengtian Spirit Island. Once I step into it, I can control the entire island at will. Hehe, I think the guys from the Mangcang tribe must know nothing about this matter. They probably still foolishly think that this pagoda is just a powerful magic weapon."

There was a hint of contempt and confidence in the voice of the old man Zi Ding, and he chuckled.

Upon hearing this, Matthew's heart was moved, and he quickly responded: "So that's the case, that's great! It just so happens that the clan leader invites me to the interior of the pagoda in three days. By then, you can take action directly. I really don't want to be involved in this fierce internal struggle. My only wish is to get to the Mangcang Treasure Pavilion as soon as possible."

After saying that, Matthew sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness on his face.

However, just as Matthew finished speaking, the old man in Ziding suddenly burst into laughter.

“Hahahahahaha…boy, do you really think that I spent countless efforts to refine this Dengtian Spiritual Island purely because I had nothing to do and wanted to kill time?”

Hearing this, Matthew was stunned and his body trembled involuntarily.

In fact, he had pondered this question secretly before.

After all, it is impossible for a person like Old Man Zi Ding, who possesses the ability to know everything, to build such a grand Dengtian Spiritual Island for no reason, and let the members of the Mangcang tribe live there for a long time.

However, with his limited knowledge and experience, no matter how hard he racked his brains, he could not guess the true intentions hidden behind the old man Zi Ding.

Matthew sat quietly, knowing that the old man Ziding would definitely give a detailed explanation of what he had said, so he remained silent and waited patiently.

As expected, the old man Zi Ding slowly said, "In fact, the original intention of establishing Dengtian Lingdao was to make it easier to leave the human world in the future. At that time, I never expected that I would stay in this world for a long time, so I used Dengtian Lingdao to explore the space nodes."

At this point, the old man Zi Ding paused for a moment, and then continued, "The people of the Mang Cang tribe only know that the Dengtianling Island follows a fixed route, but they don't understand the real secret. In fact, this island does not fly blindly along a set route, but only moves along such a trajectory after it finds those space nodes hidden in the void."

"In other words, wherever we go on Tianling Island, there must be a space node. At this moment, I can also tell you a key method. If you notice that the speed of Dengtianling Island has slowed down, it means that we are gradually approaching a certain space node. On the contrary, once its speed returns to normal, it means that we have left the area where the specific space node is located."

After hearing what the old man Zi Ding said, Matthew was like being struck by thunder and was completely stunned.

His eyes widened, his mouth slightly open, and his face was full of disbelief.

Before this, he had racked his brains to imagine countless possible benefits and uses of reaching the Spirit Island, but he never imagined that this mysterious Spirit Island actually hid such an amazing secret. This was completely beyond his imagination and completely subverted his cognition.

"Of course, the purpose of Dengtianling Island is not just to find space nodes. It is also an excellent place for cultivation. In fact, this is also what I have carefully planned before. After all, who can guarantee that they will be able to leave this human world smoothly? So I have to make a foolproof plan in advance. Once I meet the right person, such as someone like you, I can use you to realize my wish to leave the human world."

The old man Zi Ding seemed to have opened a chatterbox and began to talk incessantly.

"Well, according to my original plan, as long as you successfully obtain the Purple Cauldron, I will immediately teleport you to the Spirit Island. You also know how abundant the spiritual energy here is. No matter how mediocre your talent is, as long as you concentrate on practicing in such a unique environment, I believe that it won't take long for you to easily break through the bottleneck and enter the realm of the Spiritual Transformation Stage."

"Unfortunately, I was seriously injured at the time and had to sleep for a long time. Moreover, you unexpectedly came into contact with Wu Kun. I had to change my plan and hide temporarily to accumulate energy to help you deal with Wu Kun first. You were too weak at the time and your mind was not particularly mature, so I did not show up."

The old man Zi Ding slowly spoke about things that Matthew didn't know.

Matthew has always known that it was the old man Ziding who was helping him behind the scenes.

It is precisely because of the existence of old man Zi Ding that he can live safely until now.

But he didn't know there were so many things involved.

Now, as I understand more deeply, some things that I didn’t know before are gradually revealed.

At the same time, Matthew was also wondering whether there were other secrets on Dengtian Lingdao that the old man Ziding had not yet revealed.
