Primordial Era: Cultivation level equals the sum of the Jie Sect's total; the Three Pure Ones a

Chaos Bell.

One of the Three Treasures of Creation, the companion treasure of Donghuang Taiyi, transformed from Pangu's axe, and an unparalleled treasure on par with the Taiji Diagram and the Pangu Banner.

On the day of the decisive battle between the Lich King and the Demon King, in order to break the Great Array of the Heavenly Gods and Demons, Emperor Jun and Taiyi forcibly activated the Great Array of the Heavenly Stars using a secret method, perishing together with the Ancestral Witch.

At that time, the Taiji Diagram, the Pangu Banner, and the Chaos Bell, the three treasures, were combined and condensed into the phantom of the Pangu Axe, confronting the true body of Pangu condensed by the Great Array of Heavenly Gods and Demons.

However, as the two great formations self-destructed, the phantom of Pangu Axe shattered, and the three treasures also dispersed.

The Tai Chi symbol returned to Lao Tzu's hands.

The Pangu Banner returned to Yuanshi's hands.

But what about the Chaos Bell?

Donghuang Taiyi has perished.

The soul has vanished and the spirit is gone.

The Chaos Bell then became ownerless.

Xuan Du's eyes brightened slightly.

He remembers it clearly.

Hongjun Daozu himself said that after the Great Tribulation, the Chaos Bell would belong to him.

That was the promise of the Dao Ancestor, the destiny set by Heaven, and an unalterable cause and effect.

Even if Chaos Bell is currently hidden somewhere, as long as he speaks, the Dao Ancestor will have to fulfill his promise.

But Xuan didn't want to speak.

He would rather go find it himself.

Firstly, he has never liked asking for favors.

Secondly, if one could personally find such a treasure as the Chaos Bell, the karmic bond would far surpass that of a gift from the Dao Ancestor.

Thirdly...

A slow smile crept onto Xuan Du's lips.

The smile was faint, yet it carried a hint of amusement.

He wanted to see where the Chaos Bell was hidden.

If we can find it, it will be a pleasant surprise.

If you cannot find it, go to Zixiao Palace and ask Hongjun Daozu for it.

Who made him agree?

Xuan Du stood with his hands behind his back in the void, his divine sense surging out like a tide.

In the blink of an eye, the ruins of billions of miles were all within his perception.

Every stone and every speck of dust.

Every blade of grass and every tree.

A void, a crack.

They investigated everything carefully.

Half an hour passed.

Got nothing.

Xuan Du frowned slightly.

He didn't believe it.

How could such a treasure as the Chaos Bell simply disappear into thin air?

Even if something is hidden, there should still be traces to follow.

He slowly closed his eyes, his mind sinking into the Purple Palace.

The Chaos Pearl trembled slightly, its chaotic light flowing endlessly.

He used the Chaos Pearl to enhance his power and explored again.

This time, it's more meticulous, more in-depth, and leaves no blind spots.

Inch by inch.

Foot by foot.

One zhang at a time.

at last.

"Buzz!"

Xuandu suddenly opened his eyes.

A faint smile flickered in the depths of those eyes, which were as calm as an ancient well.

He sensed it.

Deep within the ruins of Buzhou Mountain, within a certain void rift, lies an extremely faint fluctuation.

The fluctuation was so faint that it would be completely undetectable without the enhancement of the Chaos Pearl.

But he recognized that fluctuating aura.

Chaos Bell.

After Donghuang Taiyi perished, Chaos Bell fled into a void rift and has been sleeping ever since.

Xuandu raised his hand.

Chaotic martial arts runes quietly appeared in his palm.

The runes trembled slightly, and a martial will that surpassed all laws and was supreme suddenly erupted!

"open!"

The word fell.

The ruins below suddenly trembled violently!

The broken walls and ruins that stretched across the void shook violently!

The shattered mountainside collapsed in a flurry!

In the depths of that void, a crack visible to the naked eye is slowly expanding!

The outline of a giant bell can be vaguely seen through the crack.

The bell is a chaotic color, about three zhang tall, with its mouth wide open. The illusory images of the sun, moon, and stars rotate on the bell, and the patterns of mountains, rivers, and peaks are clearly visible.

Furthermore, a faint, almost imperceptible chiming sound emanated from the depths of the crack.

The Chaos Bell!

Xuan Du's eyes lit up.

He took a step forward.

Her green robe fluttered slightly, and her black hair cascaded over her shoulders.

In the blink of an eye, he had landed in front of the crack.

He raised his hand and reached into the crack.

Bring your five fingers together.

"Buzz!"

The Chaos Bell trembled violently!

On the bell, the illusory images of the sun, moon, and stars suddenly blazed brightly, and the patterns of mountains, rivers, and peaks flowed wildly. A sense of resistance surged forth like a tide!

It is resisting.

Struggling.

They refused to acknowledge God.

Xuan Du raised an eyebrow slightly.

He forgot that the Chaos Bell, such a supreme treasure, possesses its own sentience.

Although Donghuang Taiyi has perished, the bond of cause and effect that accompanied him through the billions of yuan is not easily broken.

Even if it is promised by the Dao Ancestor, or ordained by the Heavenly Dao, it is unwilling to easily acknowledge a master.

Xuan Du smiled.

The smile was faint, yet it carried a profound understanding that saw through everything.

"Unwilling?"

He spoke in a low, calm voice:

"It's not up to you."

The words fell.

Chaotic martial arts runes suddenly erupted from his palm!

The runes formed chains that pierced straight into the body of the Chaos Bell!

Chains bound the violently trembling giant bell tightly!

Chaos Bell struggled frantically!

The bells rang loudly!

"Clang! Clang!! Clang!!!"

The bell's sound was so loud, so vast, so domineering that it instantly pierced through the void and shook the entire ruins of Buzhou Mountain!

The earth and rivers across billions of miles were shaken!

The heavens and the earth trembled!

At that moment, countless living beings looked up and gazed toward Mount Buzhou.

The tolling of the bell carried resentment, anger, and struggle.

But more than anything, there is a feeling of powerlessness.

It is despair.

It is submission.

Xuan Du slowly closed his five fingers.

The chains tightened more and more.

The struggle of the Chaos Clock grew weaker and weaker.

at last.

"clang!"

The last chime faded, and silence returned.

The Chaos Bell hovered in Xuan Du's palm, its body shimmering with light, yet it showed no sign of resistance whatsoever.

It has chosen a master.

Or rather, it gave in.

Xuan Du lowered his eyes, gazing at the giant bell in his palm, and the smile on his lips deepened.

Chaos Bell.

One of the Three Treasures of Creation, the companion treasure of Donghuang Taiyi, transformed from Pangu's axe, and an unparalleled treasure on par with the Taiji Diagram and the Pan Banner.

Now, it's in his hands.

He raised his hand and gently tapped the bell.

"clang!"

A distant bell rang out.

The sound of the bell was not like the struggle and anger from before, but clear and melodious, with a hint of submissive gentleness.

Xuan Du nodded slightly.

With a slight thought, the Chaos Bell transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into the Purple Mansion between his eyebrows.

Deep within the Purple Palace, the Chaos Pearl hangs in the void, its chaotic light flowing endlessly.

The Chaos Bell landed beside the pearl, its body trembling slightly, as if adapting to this new world.

Xuandu sensed for a moment and, after confirming that there was no problem, withdrew his attention.

He raised his eyes and looked up at the heavens.

Looking towards the Purple Cloud Palace suspended in the chaos.

I looked toward the gray figure hidden behind the purple aura.
