Chapter 159 Encountering Calamity Leads to Strength: Zhang Bairen Achieves the Great Dao
Initially, everyone guessed that Yang Chan might be at the Saint level, but then felt it was impossible.

"Besides the possibility that Yang Chan is a sage, there is another possibility: the power of the Chaos Bell is stronger than that of the Pangu Banner and the Taiji Diagram."

This will elevate Yang Chan's strength to the level of a saint.

This statement makes one nod in agreement.

In an instant, everyone was stunned again.

This sentence unexpectedly elicited a reaction from Yang Chan.

"The Chaos Bell, who told you this is the Chaos Bell?"

This is just a tool that the teacher casually developed from a supernatural power.

The teacher could also conjure up a bell even more terrifying than the bronze bell before them.

Chaos Bell?
This is definitely not the Chaos Clock.

Rather, it was Su Qing's Free Heart Bell, which was transformed with each transformation of Su Qing's realm.

First, Su Qing gave Yang Chan the Free Heart Bell that she had gathered with all her might.

Then, Su Qing herself obtained a Free Heart Bell ten times that of Yang Chan.

Then, he used the properties of the River God's golden and silver axes to transform his already tenfold enhanced Free Heart Bell into the Silver Free Heart Bell and the Golden Free Heart Bell.

It is ten times stronger than a regular Free Heart Bell, and is already stronger than a true Chaos Bell.

Afterwards, Su Qing gave the Silver Freedom Bell to Yang Chan, who then received ten times the Silver Freedom Bell's enhancement.

"Unfortunately, the Silver Free Heart Bell and the Gold Free Heart Bell can only be bestowed once more."

Otherwise, with an infinite nested structure, the Golden and Silver Heart Bell could become unimaginably powerful.

It was Su Qing who first bestowed upon him an ordinary Free Heart Bell, and then bestowed upon him an even more powerful Silver Free Heart Bell.

Yang Chan then said, "The teacher simply used his supernatural powers to refine a bell that was comparable to the Chaos Bell."

Yang Chan is stating a fact.

Others, however, did not believe it.

"Could it be that your teacher is the Hongjun Ancestor?"

Hongjun Laozu is the Heavenly Dao, the strongest being in the Earthly Immortal Realm and the Chaos.

If there truly exists in this world someone capable of creating something on the level of the Chaos Bell, it seems to be only Ancestor Hongjun.

"no!"

Yang Chan spoke so decisively.

To be honest, in everyone's eyes, even the Hongjun Ancestor could only "possibly" mold the Chaos Bell.

Now, Yang Chan's teacher is not even Hongjun Laozu.

How could someone possibly casually mold a treasure of the Chaos Bell level?
Most people don't believe it.

However, some people remain skeptical.

Others, seeing that Yang Chan's teacher was not Hongjun Laozu, were somewhat convinced that his claim that the teacher could casually create the Chaos Bell was false.

These people, however, gradually came to believe that Yang Chan's teacher, who was not Hongjun Laozu, could create a bronze bell comparable to the Chaos Bell, because of her teacher.

These people's ideas also have their own logic.

For example, Yang Chan's teacher was not Hongjun Laozu.

So how did she acquire her strength?
Does this mean that all those powerful figures from before, such as Wuyunxian, Yang Jian, Nezha, the White Dragon Horse, and the Monkey King, were created by this person?

His methods were able to create a Yang Chan who was comparable to a saint. Was his strength also comparable to that of the Hongjun Ancestor?

Is it even possible that he is stronger than Hongjun Laozu?

After all, for Hongjun Ancestor to make Haotian Jinque a Heavenly Dao Saint, he needed a Haotian Jinque who had already become a veteran great supernatural being. However, the mysterious existence behind Yang Chan gave Yang Chan, who was just an ordinary Golden Immortal, the fighting power to overpower a Heavenly Dao Saint in an instant.

This also indirectly confirms that the mysterious entity hidden behind the scenes is indeed even more powerful than Hongjun Laozu.

When this argument was put forward, everyone felt enlightened.

Having just become a Heavenly Saint, and without even having done anything to show off, he was thoroughly humiliated.

The Jade Emperor felt unwilling to accept this.

He immediately attacked again.

It's just a pity that Yang Chan has a 50/50 chance.

Her 50/50 split has two modes.

Firstly, it means being able to share everything with the other person no matter what.

The second type is to share only the other person's realm.

In other words, Yang Chan's realm at this time was the same as that of the Jade Emperor, making her a genuine Heavenly Saint.

However, she is also different from the Jade Emperor.

That is, in her hands, there exists the Silver Free Heart Bell, which even the Jade Emperor did not possess.

The power of this Silver Free Heart Bell is even stronger than that of the real Chaos Bell.

Holding the Free Heart Bell, Yang Chan displayed a scene that overwhelmed the Jade Emperor in front of everyone.

Zhang Bairen was shocked.

I also found it very incredible.

He never imagined that Yang Chan could unleash a fighting power comparable to that of a saint.

Just as he was sighing, he suddenly realized that there was a figure beside him.

If it weren't for his gaze sweeping over the other person, he wouldn't have been able to sense the mysterious presence beside him at all.

Who is he?
This also became a question in Zhang Bairen's mind.

However, he also knew that the other party might not have meant any harm.

If the other party truly harbored malice, they would have attacked just now, and Zhang Bairen would have been dead without anyone knowing what happened. He couldn't possibly be dead any further.

"I've met senior!"

In the cultivation world, strength has always been king and the strong are the teachers.

The mysterious being before Zhang Bairen is now stronger than the so-called top ten quasi-saints.

Even though the top ten quasi-saints are stronger than Zhang Bairen, they absolutely cannot arrive at his side silently without being alerted.

saint!

At least a saint, and Zhang Bairen even had a thought in his mind that this mysterious being in front of him might very well be the mysterious being hidden behind Yang Chan.

She is also the one who can casually conjure a Chaos Bell-level spiritual treasure.

Therefore, Zhang Bairen's face showed obvious respect.

"Compared to Haotian, your personality is not bad."

It's a bit of a pity that it was directly refined and devoured by the Jade Emperor.

"I have a great opportunity here, are you interested?"

good fortune?

Logically speaking, someone at Zhang Bairen's level shouldn't believe that others are kind to them for no reason.

Logically speaking, there must be traps hidden among these so-called "good" things.

For some reason, he felt a sense of anticipation growing in his heart. For some inexplicable reason, he felt that a tremendous opportunity was rapidly approaching him.

"Besides, if the other party wanted me dead, they could have easily killed me by silently appearing in front of me just now."

Thinking of this, Zhang Bairen's face showed no hesitation: "Please grant my request, sir!" "I have heard of you to some extent,"

I understand how you went from being just a third of a remnant soul to what you are now.

It has endured 1,750 tribulations.

The blessing I will give you is to become stronger when you encounter calamity.

It can transform all the power of your calamities into its own strength.

Even past calamities are no exception.

Once you have completely absorbed all the aura of calamity, you will be able to control the Great Dao of Calamity in the primordial world.

What kind of nonsense is it that you become stronger when you encounter a calamity?

Moreover, the hardships they have endured can be transformed into their current strength.

The Great Road of Calamity?

If I were to control a Great Dao on my own, wouldn't that mean I could also achieve the Primordial Dao Fruit and become a Primordial Golden Immortal comparable to a saint?

All of this seems even more incredible.

That's just talking in your sleep.

However, on the other hand, there is actually an existence in this world that is comparable to, or even stronger than, Hongjun Laozu.

Standing right in front of me now, isn't this something like a dream?

Her starting point was far higher than Yang Chan's.

Now that the mysterious person can grant Yang Chan strength comparable to the Sage Emperor Haotian, it seems that it's not impossible for me to become a being comparable to a Sage.

Besides, even if it's fake, I won't lose anything.
But what if it's true?
What kind of fortune can I expect to obtain?

That's a chance to achieve the Primordial Dao Fruit and directly control a Great Dao!
Thinking of this, he did not hesitate and immediately agreed to become stronger in order to escape the calamity.

Becoming stronger after encountering a calamity is a very special thing.
When Zhang Bairen gained strength after encountering tribulations, he immediately sensed his own will, as if he had returned to the past and was reliving the tribulations he had experienced before.

An unbelievable aura of calamity was constantly being bestowed upon him.

This caused his strength, which had long since stopped growing, to begin growing rapidly again.

In just a few breaths, he had already become a veteran Quasi-Saint, and then stepped into the top ten Quasi-Saints.

This is just the beginning.

An immense and unbelievable spirit of perseverance and determination continuously converged.

This calamity includes not only the three calamities and nine tribulations of the great calamity spell in eternal life, but also the doomsday calamity (destructive celestial phenomena), the great sun fire disaster (world-burning flames), and the black sun wind disaster (bone-corroding yin winds).

The Nine Difficulties: Difficulty of the Earth, Difficulty of Humanity, Difficulty of Demons and Gods, Difficulty of Samadhi, Difficulty of One's True Nature, Difficulty of Karmic Obstacles, Difficulty of One's Mind, Difficulty of One's Soul, and Difficulty of Calamities.

There are also Heavenly Demon Tribulation and Heavenly Thunder Tribulation.

Even the so-called calamity of the five signs of decay of heaven and man was quickly taken under Zhang Bairen's control.

In that instant, he seemed to transform into the embodiment of calamity.

The Great Dao of Calamity continuously converged, transforming into illusory Dao Fruits, which rose and fell constantly within Zhang Bairen's auspicious clouds.

A vast and terrifying aura was about to begin spreading outwards.

However, Su Qing was right there beside him, and he seemed to have just casually moved his hand.

The terrifying pressure that permeated the heavens and earth was instantly compressed to a limit.

However, this aura did not spread.

However, any cultivator who has achieved some success in their cultivation will vaguely sense that they are being watched by something, and will feel a great sense of terror.

Even though Zhang Bairen achieved the Great Dao through tribulation, his aura was concealed the moment he achieved the Great Dao and attained the Primordial Dao Fruit.

However, the world has already been etched with the three calamities and nine disasters.

In the future, cultivators who wish to become celestial immortals must undergo the baptism of three calamities and nine tribulations.

Even if one achieves the status of a Celestial Immortal or a True Immortal, but fails to attain the status of a Golden Immortal and comprehend the Dao Fruit, one will still suffer the afflictions of the Five Signs of Decay of Heaven and Man.

To achieve the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit, the Taiyi Dao Fruit, or to become a Quasi-Saint, or to comprehend the Great Luo Dao Fruit, one must undergo the Heavenly Demon Tribulation of attaining the Dao.

In conclusion, calamities are everywhere.

This is why most cultivators throughout the entire prehistoric world felt a chill run down their spines.

Unlike Zhang Bairen's transformation in strength, which filled him with joy,

His true form, Haotian Jinque, was incredibly frustrated at that moment.

I originally thought that after becoming a Heavenly Saint, I could overpower my enemies.

When he saw Yang Chan holding the "Chaos Bell," he thought it was an incredible stroke of luck, and that he would be able to become king in this era where sages did not appear. But what happened?
His beautiful dream was shattered by reality before it could even be realized.
It's so frustrating, so incredibly frustrating.

No matter how frustrated they felt, they couldn't change the outcome.

He seems to only ever get beaten up.

This battle lasted quite a while.

Even the arrival of a sage from the Buddhist order, such as the Daoist Zhunti, could not change the outcome.

Seeing that Haotian Jinque was constantly suppressed and humiliated by Yang Chan.

However, the Daoist Zhunti did not make a move immediately.

He's always been someone who prioritizes maximizing his own interests. But when is the greatest benefit to him?

That was when Haotian was pushed to his limit, and that was when he would make his move. In the blink of an eye, several days had passed, and Zhunti Daoist felt that the time to make his move had come.

He immediately launched a sneak attack on Yang Chan from behind.

To be honest, even if Zhunti Daoist were to launch a sneak attack from behind at this moment, it would have no impact on Yang Chan.

She has a 50/50 chance.

When they were able to perfectly share power, Yang Chan immediately shared the combat strength of both of them when Zhunti Daoist attacked from behind. In addition, she possessed the mysterious Silver Free Heart Bell.

Therefore, even when faced with Zhunti Daoren's sneak attack, he would not be at a disadvantage.

But then, a sudden change occurred.

What happened?

That is, when Zhunti Daoist attacked Yang Chan, Haotian Jinque's expression, which had been depressed but turned into joy, suddenly changed.

That wasn't a surprise, but a kind of resentment.

It was a feeling of anger even greater than when he was suppressed and humiliated by Yang Chan.

What's even stranger is that this extremely resentful expression wasn't directed at Yang Chan.

Instead, they headed towards the Daoist Zhunti.

Not only was Haotian Jinque furious with Zhunti, but when Zhunti Daoist attacked Yang Chan, he suddenly appeared behind Zhunti Daoist and unleashed his strongest attack, directly sneaking towards Zhunti Daoist's back.

Even though this Zhunti Daoist is a genuine Heavenly Dao Saint, his strength is very great.

However, facing Haotian Jinque's reckless sneak attack, he was suddenly severely injured. The most crucial point was that Yang Chan was still in front of him.

There's also Yang Chan's Silver Free Heart Bell, which has recovered its full power.

The Silver Free Heart Bell struck the Daoist Zhunti.

The Heavenly Dao True Body of Daoist Zhunti was now cracking. He was just one step away from having his body shattered and returning to the origin of the Heavenly Dao.

"Haotian, are you out of your mind?!"

Zhunti Daoist was furious.
