Chapter 623: The Difficult Situation Of The Bell
This Chaos Bell is really…
Tsk, it has quite a stubborn character.
The Grandmaster of Heaven did not seem to be in a hurry. The journey back would take at least seventeen to eighteen years. He would first let the Chaos Bell cool down before gradually gaining a good impression.
However, judging from the Chaos Bell’s attitude, it seemed to be quite determined. It would rather stay in the past than suppress the destiny of Jie School.
Is that something that treasures can do?
Anyone would explode!
Just as the Chaos Bell said, it did not have any affiliated relationship with the Grandmaster of Heaven, nor did it have any established karma. At most, it would maintain this state.
In any case, it was useless no matter where it went. The Chaos Sea was quite boring. It was also thinking of changing its territory and scenery.
From then on, the life of treasures was different.
Although he could use the Cosmic Cage to seal it in the power of the Taiji Painting, he wanted it to work for Jie School…
Both the door and the window were fine.
Regarding that, the Grandmaster of Heaven was helpless.
The Saint had to be reasonable. The Saint did not want to use force on the Chaos Bell.
Li Changshou could clearly sense the pride in Third Uncle-Master’s bones.
The most important part of the operation to block the Chaos Bell was actually to find the whereabouts of the Chaos Bell.
It could force the Chaos Bell to continuously change its escape path. It was also the foundation of blocking the Chaos Bell in the Chaos Sea.
If not for the Grandmaster of Heaven, he might not even be able to find the Chaos Bell with Kun Peng’s speed.
Therefore, the Chaos Bell should belong to the Grandmaster of Heaven.
The Grandmaster of Heaven only needed to give Li Changshou a few supreme-grade numinous treasures as thanks.
However, as soon as the Grandmaster of Heaven spoke, he offered Li Changshou a 70-30 deal. As long as the Chaos Bell suppressed the sect and transported it to the end of the Great God-Conferment Tribulation, the most mysterious Connate Cardinal treasure and the Heaven-Opening set would belong to Li Changshou.
This dowry was more than enough for Yun Xiao to marry ten times.
Why was that so?
It was very simple. The Grandmaster of Heaven felt that he had taken advantage of the younger generation, but he did not want to. Even the Chaos Bell was given away easily.
He did not treat Li Changshou as an outsider.
Li Changshou was well aware of that. He felt warm in his heart.
Jie School was really the kind of Primordial Immortal Dao organization that could make people not regret. It had a strange charm.
However, the God-Conferment Tribulation would arrive in about two hundred years. Counting the nodes that Li Changshou had prepared and officially interfered with the arrangements, there were only a hundred years left.
Next, he had to keep a distance from Jie School, even if it was just a show for the Heavenly Dao.
Therefore, on the way back, such an awkward situation was formed for the Chaos Bell.
On the main seat of the Kun Peng Hall, the Grandmaster of Heaven sat quietly with his eyes closed. He focused and ignored the Chaos Bell.
Li Changshou sat in the corner of the hall and opened the Taiji Painting in front of him. He kept monitoring the various parts of the Primordial World. He held Senior Lang’s “academic notebook” in his hand and did not talk to the Chaos Bell.
Zhao Gongming was not far away from Li Changshou. He was focused on comprehending the Cosmic Ruler in his hand. The Dao runes around him were constantly changing at a weak rate.
The Goddess of Golden Spirit and the Goddess of Turtle Spirit sat quietly and cultivated.
The Golden Roc, which had nothing to do with the Chaos Bell, followed Li Changshou’s request and began to read some books on tactics and strategies.
The “Strategy of the Sea God” written by Ao Yi was also a huge masterpiece. It could make the Golden Roc spend many years to comprehend the essence of it.
It was stability.
There was no need to mention the four Mei Generals. They were just there to go through the motions and deal with the Dharma treasures that were exclusive to the Heavenly Fiend Supremacy later.
At that moment, they were kneeling and praying near the door of the hall. They looked very sincere and added four holy lights to the hall.
Then, so, so…
Buzz! Buzz!
Bang, bang, bang!
The Chaos Bell reached its limit and emitted a spiritual perception bombardment.
“Hello?”
“Are you crazy? You have worked so hard to take back this bell. You have to convince me, move me, and conquer me! If you don’t try, how do you know that I will definitely not agree? Are all the mighty figures of the Primordial World like this now? The disciple of the Grand Pure One! I’m talking about you!”
“Oh?”
Li Changshou put down the book in his hand. “Senior, what can I do for you?”
“What do you mean? Are you trying to wear down my patience?”
“I don’t have that intention.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “The Pangu God is the Connate God that I respect the most. The three teachers are the Connate lifeforms that I respect the most. Similarly, the three Heaven-Splitting Treasures are also the treasures that I respect the most. However, I only did a small thing to stop you. I don’t have the morals to gain your favor, so I don’t dare to talk to you. It’s definitely not a scheme.”
Just as the Chaos Bell was about to transmit its spiritual perception, the Grandmaster of Heaven slowly opened his eyes and said leisurely,v”Why? Changgeng, you don’t even listen to me now?”
Li Changshou hurriedly stood up and bowed to the Grandmaster of Heaven.
“I will listen to Uncle-Master’s instructions.”
“Didn’t I say that the Chaos Bell is yours?” The Grandmaster of Heaven said seriously, “I only borrowed it for a few hundred years. You will naturally subdue it.”
“Uncle-Master,” Li Changshou said, “I’ve only contributed a little. If I forcefully take this bell, I will lose my Dao heart and morals. I will feel uneasy.”
“What’s there to be uneasy about? Without your Kun Peng, it would be difficult to decide.”
“You were the one who found the Chaos Bell, Uncle-Master. You were the one who chased after it. I only made a trap.”
The Goddess of Turtle Spirit whispered, “He even kicked…”
Li Changshou and the Grandmaster of Heaven turned to look at the same time. The Goddess of Turtle Spirit shrank her slender neck and her face was filled with fear.
The Grandmaster of Heaven smiled and said, “Changgeng, don’t fight with me. You are the number one authoritative god under the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Courts. You are also the little disciple that Eldest Senior Brother loves. You are also favored by the Heavenly Dao and Teacher. You cultivate the Great Dao of Equalization. If you can obtain the help of the Chaos Bell, your future achievements will be limitless.”
Li Changshou frowned slightly when he heard that.
The Chaos Bell was too noisy… No!
“This place is outside the Chaos Sea. I can tell you what I said. Uncle-Master, Senior Brothers, and Senior Sisters, please don’t spread it. My Great Dao of Equalization has already been suspected and monitored by the Heavenly Dao. If I really take the Chaos Bell, I will only die.”
Li Changshou sighed.
“The Taiji Painting has the ability to observe the future. I boldly deduced that the Chaos Bell has the ability to observe the ancient times. The Taiji Painting could deduce many possibilities in the future with the power of deduction. The Chaos Bell could penetrate the long river of time and observe the ancient times and many situations that the Heavenly Dao considered taboo. If I really take it and have the Great Dao of Equalization, I’m afraid I won’t be able to return to the Primordial World.”
The Grandmaster of Heaven frowned slightly when he heard that. He hugged his arms and pondered for a while.
“What you said is indeed true. The power of deduction from the Taiji Painting is the strongest among the treasures. The Chaos Bell can reverse time and might also affect the ancient times. However, you should be the one to receive this bell. How can I let you come here for nothing?”
“I’m willing to do something small for Uncle-Master.”
“Hey, don’t decline. You’re being so shy and unhappy. Just subdue it.”
“Uncle-Master, I can’t subdue such a Connate Cardinal treasure. If my realm is not high enough… Uncle-Master, you should do it.”
“You do it.”
“Uncle-Master, come.”
“You can come. Why don’t I let Yun Xiao subdue you?”
“Well…”
Buzz…
Bang!
Suddenly, there was an ear-splitting explosion. The Chaos Bell turned corporeal from the void and shook violently a few times. Its spiritual perception turned into an angry shout while it gritted its teeth.
“Enough! You two are too much of a bully! Do you think I don’t exist!?! Hey! What are you doing!?!”
In the blink of an eye, the Chaos Bell had just come out of the divine power of “Retreat for an instant”. The Grandmaster of Heaven’s figure flashed and appeared beside the Chaos Bell. He placed his left hand behind his back and his right hand on the top of the Chaos Bell. His long hair danced behind him, and his eyes emitted green light!
“Freeze!”
The Saint shouted softly. The Chaos Bell instantly stopped trembling. The surroundings were wrapped in green light. In the blink of an eye, it turned into the size of a palm and spun continuously.
“Despicable!”
The spiritual perception emitted by the Chaos Bell was a little weak. It sounded like it was crying. “Grandmaster of Heaven, I was wrong about you! You actually became like your Eldest Senior Brother! It’s all a scheme…”
Li Changshou’s eyes lit up. He smiled and said, “Congratulations, Uncle-Master, for obtaining such a precious treasure.”
At that moment, he could control the Chaos Bell. Later, be it taming the spirituality within it or changing its spirituality, there was no threshold for Saints.
The Grandmaster of Heaven smiled and shook his head. He said, “What I said previously was not fake. You can refine this bell. I’ll borrow it.”
“Uncle-Master, what I said just now is not fake.”
Li Changshou sighed softly and sent a voice transmission to the Grandmaster of Heaven. “Before I went to the Green Touring Palace, I was summoned by the Goddess. I rushed to the Goddess’s Palace and the Goddess asked me a question.”
“Oh? What question?”
The Grandmaster of Heaven released the Dao runes of the Saint and wrapped himself and Li Changshou. He gestured for Li Changshou to speak without sending a voice transmission.
He was not upright.
“The Goddess asked if I’m willing to form an alliance with her in the Great Tribulation.”
The Grandmaster of Heaven frowned when he heard that. He threw the Chaos Bell back to its original position and paced with his hands behind his back. He was closer to Li Changshou.
Soon, a glint flashed in the eyes of the Saint who did not like scheming and deduction.
“Her question has a deeper meaning. You might not know, but Nuwa is the one who has the deepest connection to the Heavenly Dao among the six of us. The Great Tribulation this time came from the human race. She is the Goddess of the human race. Although she is destined to be implicated, she does not owe the human race anything. On the contrary, the human race owes her endless karma. Therefore, Nuwa did not enter the tribulation. Why are you in a hurry to form an alliance with others?”
Li Changshou said, “The explanation that the Goddess gave me is that she wants to escape the control of the Heavenly Dao.”
“Is she willing to give up such a Dao Fruit?”
The Grandmaster of Heaven pursed his lips and said calmly, “How did you answer?”
“I will say whatever I think. I don’t dare to hide anything from the Saint.”
Li Changshou sighed.
“I’ve already said that after becoming a god, I will leave the Primordial World with my friends and family. I will retire in the Heavenly Courts. I don’t want more, nor can I obtain more. To have Yun Xiao and my junior sister as companions, I’m no longer alone. I obtained the Dao Fruit of Longevity. What else can I not do?”
“Do you really think so?”
Li Changshou’s eyes flickered, but he did not say anything.
“Your answer is not bad. It should be able to dispel the Heavenly Dao’s suspicion of you.”
The Grandmaster of Heaven smiled and said, “After this Great Tribulation, I also want to shake off the many miscellaneous matters of the Primordial World and explore the Chaos Sea aimlessly. The Chaos Sea is extremely vast. Although it is extremely chaotic, after the creation of the world, it had been affected by the Primordial World. It has gone from being completely disorderly to being half orderly and half chaotic. Many chaotic creatures were quite interesting. Shall we go together?”
“This…”
Li Changshou’s expression was a little awkward. He said softly, “I’m having fun with them. Uncle-Master, you might be a little restrained when you’re beside them.”
“Huh?” The Grandmaster of Heaven’s face darkened. “You still despise me?”
“I’m just worried that you will feel awkward.”
“Alright, I won’t disturb you. I’ve become a burden. How absurd!”
The Grandmaster of Heaven flung his sleeve and snorted softly. He turned around and walked back to the main seat of the hall to rest.
Li Changshou secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He bowed to the Grandmaster of Heaven and returned to his original position. He used the Taiji Painting to observe the Primordial World for a while and continued reading the item in his hand.
Although Senior Lang’s character was bad, the strange research was quite precious.
For example, the article he was reading, “The Unification of the Three-Point Conjectures and the Explosion Theory”, was quite profound.
“Hey…”
In the middle of the hall, the Chaos Bell that was restrained by the Grandmaster of Heaven swayed gently. Some weak spiritual senses kept spreading towards Li Changshou and the Grandmaster of Heaven.
“Can you respect me?”
“The Heaven-Splitting Treasure, the defensive treasure, the Great Dao of Time…”
“Why is the Primordial World like this now? What happened to the power that you guys fought so hard for a few lousy lotus flowers back then?”
“Talk to me… It’s not impossible to help you. However, the luck of Jie School will kill the treasure. I really can’t suppress it. Changgeng, is it? With me, you don’t have to be afraid of the Heavenly Dao. I can bring you to hide in the Chaos Sea at any time. Great Immortal, let’s talk. Although I don’t want to acknowledge you as my master, we can work together like the East Emperor Tai Yi back then. Immortal Changgeng, don’t let me go to Jie School. I will really die.”
Li Changshou put down the scroll in his hand helplessly and smiled apologetically at the Chaos Bell. Then…
He closed the spirit platform and carefully read the notebook in his hand.
Hence, more than ten years later, they were not far from the five continents and had yet to enter the area affected by the Heavenly Dao. The Grandmaster of Heaven summoned a few disciples and stood beside the Chaos Bell with Li Changshou.
The moment to decide his fate had arrived.
…
At the same time…
In a certain Major Chiliocosm, in the incomparably magnificent stone hall, the experts of the Heaven Ascension Hall stood orderly below. Waves of immortal power filled every corner.
In the middle of the platform, more than ten Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals sat on the towering stone chairs on the back of the chairs.
Behind the row of stone chairs, there were a few chairs. They were the core members of the Heaven Ascension Hall, Bai Ze, Jiang Lin’er, and Jiu Jiu.
Of course, Bai Ze had hidden himself in the fog from the beginning to the end. He did not expose his identity.
With the secret support of the Heavenly Courts and the hard work of General Dongmu, Bai Ze, and Li Changshou, the Heaven Ascension Hall had already become a regional overlord immortal Dao faction.
Their influence spread to dozens of Major Chiliocosms. In the corner of the Primordial World, they established an unbreakable rule of the Immortal Dao.
The clear rules, the teachings that were compatible with the Heavenly Courts’ rules, the simple and efficient operation mode, the clear reward and punishment system, the abundant Dharma, wealth, companionship, and land…
However, they were not satisfied.
Or rather, the mission that Li Changshou had set for them was not just to ensure the safety of one party.
At that moment, Exalted Wang Qing was standing in front of the highest throne. He stood with his hands behind his back and scanned his surroundings. The white hair at his temples fluttered gently, and he exuded a strong sense of dignity.
After all, after being a big shot for so many years, he had naturally developed an extraordinary bearing.
His voice was light and cold. He explained the goal of the Heaven Ascension Hall’s next operation and reiterated the core teachings of the Heaven Ascension Hall.
Justice on behalf of the heavens!
He was protecting the Dao on behalf of the heavens!
Their expanding territory had already threatened the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom of the Western Sect. There had been friction previously.
Today, the experts of the Heaven Ascension Hall were gathered. The immortals from the various halls were in charge of gathering there. They were all there to start a war against the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom and catch them off guard.
After a calm speech, Hall Master Wang Fugui left behind a hundred core members of the Heaven Ascension Hall.
After the meeting, there would be a small meeting. It was considered a tradition of the Heaven Ascension Hall.
Next were the specific tactics and strategies. Usually, Bai Ze would complete the entire plan and Jiu Wu would speak for him.
At the side, Jiu Jiu picked up a wine pot and shook it gently. She smiled helplessly.
She sent a voice transmission to Jiang Lin’er who was beside her. “Master’s wife, I’ll go back first.”
“Little Jiu…”
Jiang Lin’er wanted to say something but hesitated. Jiu Jiu turned into a black shadow and left the hall quietly.
Jiu Jiu’s residence was a small courtyard protected by an important array formation. She was no longer the same as before. She was an important “symbol” of the Heaven Ascension Hall and had considerable prestige in the Heaven Ascension Hall.
However, in the past hundred years, she had gradually stopped managing it. She was focused on cultivation and dealing with the Golden Immortal Tribulation.
The small courtyard was a little cold. The few Dharma treasure lamps were shining brightly. Jiu Jiu’s room was still a little messy.
She walked to the wine cabinet and rummaged through the wine that she had collected from various places. However, her slender hands were still weak.
He casually picked up a pot of fruit wine and took a sip. However, he could not taste anything.
“Aunt-Master, why didn’t you tell me that you lack wine?”
“Little!”
Jiu Jiu turned around and saw that the door was open.
She quickly walked to the courtyard and saw an empty courtyard and leaves that were blown by the wind.
The wine tasted bitter on her lips.
The wind blew past and some leaves fell. She raised her hand and grabbed a wandering green leaf. She accidentally crushed it and was a little lost in thought…
What’s wrong with me?
