The Ming Dynasty: The most ruthless imperial grandson, Old Zhu begged me not to kill him.

Chapter 711 A Special Kind of Restriction
A man and a leopard clashed in the darkness, their fists and feet exchanging blows, creating a series of booming sounds.

Although Zhu Xiong Ying was highly skilled in martial arts, he was greatly limited in the pitch-black darkness.

He tried to use the Qiankun Great Shift several times, but found that there seemed to be a special restriction inside the Qiankun Cauldron, which prevented him from using his martial arts.

"Damn it!"

Zhu Xiong Ying cursed under his breath, feeling extremely anxious.

He must find a way to leave this place as soon as possible, otherwise he will be worn down and killed by this black panther sooner or later.

Just then, he suddenly felt a tremor beneath his feet.

"what happened?"

Zhu Xiong Ying was puzzled and quickly looked down.

A huge vortex appeared on the ground.

The vortex spun faster and faster, as if it wanted to devour everything in it.

Zhu Xiong Ying was startled and quickly tried to dodge.

But the suction of the vortex was too strong, and he couldn't resist it at all.

"what!"

Zhu Xiong Ying let out a cry of alarm as she was sucked into the vortex.

……

When he awoke again, he found himself in a magnificent, golden palace.

In the very center of the main hall, there is a huge golden cauldron.

Beneath the cauldron, a raging fire was burning.

An elderly man dressed in a white robe was standing beside the cauldron, manipulating the flames.

"You're awake?" The old man turned to look at Zhu Xiong Ying and smiled slightly.

Zhu Xiong Ying quickly stood up and respectfully bowed, saying, "Senior."

"You're quite good; you actually managed to pass the third test," the old man said.

"The third test?" Zhu Xiong Ying was taken aback. "Senior, I just..."

"You were just sucked into a spacetime vortex and arrived in another world," the old man explained.

"Another world?" Zhu Xiong Ying was shocked. "What kind of place is this?"

"This is the inner world of the Qiankun Cauldron, also an independent small world," the old man said. "This world is completely isolated from the outside world, and can only be entered and left through the Qiankun Cauldron."

Zhu Xiong Ying suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

"Senior, what exactly is this third test?" Zhu Xiong Ying asked.

"The third test is to help you survive in this world," the old man said. "This world is full of dangers and challenges; only the truly strong can survive here."

Zhu Xiong Ying's heart skipped a beat; it seemed that this third test was even more difficult than he had imagined.

"Senior, what dangers are there in this world?" Zhu Xiong Ying asked.

The old man smiled slightly and said, "This world has all sorts of rare and exotic beasts, as well as all sorts of rare and precious materials. Of course, there are also some powerful enemies."

"A powerful enemy?" Zhu Xiong Ying was startled. "What kind of enemy?"

The old man smiled mysteriously and said, "You'll know when you encounter it."

Zhu Xiong Ying was puzzled; why was this old man speaking so mysteriously?

"Alright, you have now passed the third test and can leave," the old man said.

"Leave?" Zhu Xiong Ying was taken aback. "Senior, how do I leave now?"

The old man pointed to the center of the hall and said, "Do you see that cauldron? If you can light it, you can leave this place."

Zhu Xiong Ying looked in the direction the old man was pointing and saw a huge golden cauldron that radiated golden light, giving people a sense of sacredness and inviolability.

"Senior, how do we light this cauldron?" Zhu Xiong Ying asked.

The old man smiled slightly and said, "That depends on your skills."

After saying this, the old man turned and left the main hall.

Zhu Xiong Ying watched the old man's departing figure, her heart filled with doubt.

Who exactly is this old man? Why did he set up these tests?

What kind of treasure is this Qiankun Cauldron?
Zhu Xiong Ying was filled with questions, but he knew that now was not the time to think about them.

He must light the furnace as soon as possible and leave this place.

He walked up to the cauldron and began to examine it carefully.

This cauldron is about three zhang tall, and is made entirely of gold. It is decorated with various patterns and looks very exquisite.

Beneath the cauldron, a raging fire burned, radiating intense heat.

Zhu Xiong Ying tried to reach her hand into the flame, but found that the flame had no temperature at all.

"what happened?"

Zhu Xiong Ying was puzzled and tried again, but the result was the same.

This flame had no temperature at all!

what on earth is it?

Zhu Xiong Ying was completely baffled. Suddenly, a thought struck him: Could it be...?

He quickly circulated his internal energy and poured it into the flames.

The next moment, something magical happened.

The flames, which were originally cold, suddenly became incredibly hot.

Zhu Xiong Ying was overjoyed; it seemed his guess was correct.

This flame needs to be ignited with internal force.

He continued to increase the output of his internal energy, and the flames burned brighter and brighter, while the cauldron gradually turned red.

Just then, a powerful suction force suddenly came from the cauldron, pulling Zhu Xiong Ying inside.

……

……

Zhu Xiong Ying felt dizzy, as if he were in a giant vortex. He didn't know how much time had passed before he felt his feet touch the ground and he stood firmly on solid ground.

He opened his eyes and found himself in an unfamiliar mountain forest. Ancient trees surrounded him, blocking out the sun, and the air was filled with the damp scent of earth.

"Where is this?" Zhu Xiong Ying looked around, puzzled.

He tried to circulate his internal energy, only to find that it had disappeared!

"What happened? Where is my internal energy?" Zhu Xiong Ying was shocked.

Without internal energy, he's just an ordinary person!

In this dangerous world, how can he survive without internal energy?
Zhu Xiong Ying was filled with unease.

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from not far away.

Zhu Xiong Ying felt a chill run down her spine, quickly clenched her fists, and looked warily in the direction from which the sound came.

A huge black spider was slowly crawling towards him.

The spider was as big as a water vat, covered in black hair, and its eight eyes gleamed with an eerie green light, making it look terrifying.

Zhu Xiong Ying was startled and quickly took a few steps back.

He had no internal energy and was no match for this giant spider!
He has to find a way to escape!

Zhu Xiong Ying turned and ran, and the giant spider immediately sped up to catch up.

Zhu Xiong Ying ran desperately, but the giant spider was too fast and quickly caught up with him.

Seeing that he was about to be caught, Zhu Xiong Ying hardened his heart, picked up a stone, and hurled it at the giant spider.

The stone struck the giant spider with a dull thud, but it did not cause it any harm.

The giant spider let out an angry roar and pounced on Zhu Xiong Ying.

Zhu Xiong Ying was unable to dodge in time and was pounced on by the giant spider and knocked to the ground.

The giant spider opened its enormous mouthparts, revealing sharp teeth, and was about to bite Zhu Xiong Ying.
