Chapter 496: The Golden Bell Suppresses the Six Immortals

A golden instrument was suspended in mid-air, resembling a bell but flatter. The rim did not have a certain curvature like a bell, but was flat instead. There were patterns resembling thunder, clouds and beasts on it. Further up, there were many patterns carved in the center of the bell body. There were thirty-six protrusions on the left and right sides, and seventy-two on the front and back, each with different patterns. The topmost position, which was similar to a bell button, was decorated with two entwined dragons and snakes, as well as burning flames and auspicious clouds.

"A treasure from the ancient times, a golden bell from the ancient times!"

Chu Tai's brows jumped when he saw this scene through Yun Zhongjun's eyes. He did not expect to see such a treasure again in the Northern Wilderness.

Unlike the ancient golden weapon I saw last time, although that thing is a treasure for killing, it can still be found in many ruins and ancient battlefields.

However, Bi is different. Although it is basically confused with Zhong nowadays, it was a sacrificial vessel used exclusively by nobles and for sacrifices in ancient times.

Whether it is the materials used, the refining techniques, or the symbolic meaning, they are far superior to the ancient bells left over from ancient times.

Therefore, most of the bi left over from ancient times are very powerful. Compared with most bell-like magical weapons, bi is superior to bells in all aspects, and its stability and continuity are characteristics that the general bell-like treasures handed down from ancient times do not have.

Chu Tai looked at the patterns carved in the center of the bell and silently analyzed their meaning.

"It is actually a bell and tripod inscription for offering sacrifices to the land. This golden bell is not only a sacrificial vessel, but also a royal vessel that declares the ownership of the land here."

After Chu Tai informed Yun Zhongjun of his discovery, he immediately accelerated the layout of Jinhua Cave Heaven.

Yun Zhongjun, who knew the power of the situation, warned Long Gu and others while speeding up the arrangement of his own formation, strengthening the connection between himself and Chu Tai, and increasing the power he could borrow as much as possible.

Previously, subtle changes in the universe’s void had already shown that the other party had the ability to start from the void and interfere with Yun Zhongjun’s observation and assistance to Long Gu and others.

Then the help provided by Chu Tai is likely to be affected.

Therefore, he cannot take action immediately, or once he takes action, the outcome must be decided within a short period of time without giving the opponent time to react.

'This area needs to be reinforced to reduce the interference from the void universe. A few new lines can be added here...'
While Yun Zhongjun sped up, Long Gu and others on the other side were in crisis.

Even with Yun Zhongjun's warning, the cultivation of several people was only at the fifth level. Faced with the royal weapon that was equivalent to condensing the destiny of the civilization and the humanitarian order of an area, it was difficult for them to resist.

As soon as the golden bell fell, Long Gu, who got the news, was the first to take action. He threw out the Beidou Jiuhuang Xuan Yugui in his hand. Nine rays of starlight gathered and hit the golden bell hard. Although he temporarily stopped the treasure, he was shattered into a sky full of stars by the ripples caused by the vibration of the golden bell.

Long Gu himself was also injured by the recoil of the golden bell. He spat out a mouthful of blood and took two or three steps back.

Upon seeing this, Huang Qiong took a step forward, raised her hand and waved it, the shadows of mountains and rivers emerged, the grass and trees changed, and a painting flew out from the numerous rays of light. It was the precious Kunling Mountain and River Map that she had created after hundreds of years of practice by collecting the shadows of mountains and rivers in all directions of heaven and earth.

In order to refine this treasure map, Huang Qiong invited the Eight Immortals to work together to condense all the power of the Eight Trigrams of Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen and Dui into it to form the Qiankun Spirit Embryo. After more than a hundred years of cultivation, it has now become a small illusory cave.

Huang Qiong sacrificed it at this moment, wanting to use the small world inside to carry the fallen golden bell.

And the outcome was obviously a failure. The golden bell itself was a royal weapon symbolizing this piece of land. There was a mystery of the earth inside it, which was connected to the surrounding ground veins. Huang Qiong's attempt to forcibly carry it with the treasure map was like pouring river water into a water tank.

Not only did the river water overflow, but the water tank itself was on the verge of breaking under the fierce impact. It was only when Qian Yuanzi stepped forward and cooperated with Qian Tian that the treasure that Huang Qiong had refined for hundreds of years was saved.

But Qian Yuanzi himself was not in a much better condition. Facing the falling golden bell, he waved the Pure Yang Whisk inherited from his master, trying to overcome the hardness with softness.

Silvery-white threads were flying all over the sky, bringing flowing light to the sky and driving the universe, drawing one circle after another in the air, overlapping and blending with each other, bearing the pressure from each other, forming a very soft and resilient light curtain.

Taoist Cang Xuan, who was in poor condition due to his previous injury, also released the Qingyun Immortal Gourd. The treasure flags were flying, the light was changing, and the bright moon brought the feminine energy, further strengthening the defense line constructed by Qian Yuanzi. Unfortunately, it was useless in the end.

Facing the falling golden bell, the light curtain that the two had constructed, which was powerful enough to prevent the collapse of thousands of feet high mountains and divert thousands of miles of rivers, shattered in an instant like a layer of candy wrapper.

Cang Xuan's already bad complexion instantly turned extremely pale, without a trace of blood. A tiny crack appeared on the surface of the Qingyun Immortal Gourd due to the recoil of the golden bell.

Qian Yuanzi took three steps back, and although he stood firmly, the Pure Yang Whisk in his hand, which was originally shining with precious light, became smooth and dim, and most of the three thousand silver-white silk threads on it turned into ashes.

Fortunately, with the interception of several people, the falling speed of the golden bell was finally reduced. Taoist Lingshu and Yuan Jingming, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately drove the thunder and flames all over the sky to fall and hit the golden bell hard.

Golden flames danced, thunders exploded, and the successive explosions disrupted the void, forming a turbulent flow of vital energy, which successfully stopped the golden bell.

Lingshu and Yuan Jingming retreated more than ten steps as the lightning shattered and the golden flame dissipated before they let the recoil force of the golden bell dissipate into the void.

"Stopped?"

There was a Four Seasons Eight Wind Wheel on Longgu's head, and the spring breeze blew, which not only healed his injuries, but also helped Cangxuan, Huang Qiong and Qianyuanzi recover from their injuries.

As for Yuan Jingming and Lingshu, who did not suffer any harm, they each took out their own magic weapons and silently accumulated strength.

After Qian Yuanzi recovered, he couldn't help but ask, "How did you and Cang Xuan escape from them?"

Long Gu was also a little curious about this. The power displayed by the other party now was different from what they had sensed before. If the other party had taken out this thing at that time, he and Taoist Cang Xuan would not have been able to escape.

But before Long Gu could answer, a sound similar to that of a bell came from the golden bell, and a strong impact spread to the surroundings with the golden bell as the starting point.

The earth veins responded and the void was distorted. Long Gu and others cast spells to resist, but this time it was unexpectedly easy.

"This is?"

Lingshu muttered to himself, turned to look at the rest of the people and asked about their conditions, then heard a series of shrill screams.

When they turned their heads, they saw that the creatures rescued by Longgu and Cangxuan were now lying on the ground in pain, rolling around, and many features similar to those of animals and plants were growing on their bodies that should not appear on ordinary people.
