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

"The Chaos Bell?!"

His voice trembled slightly, carrying a hint of surprise that even he himself didn't realize:

"You...you obtained the Chaos Bell?!"

Xuan Du nodded slightly:

"Yes."

"I just went to the ruins of Buzhou Mountain and found this bell in a rift in the void."

"After some effort, we finally managed to subdue them."

Did you go to some lengths?

Upon hearing this, Tongtian's lips twitched slightly.

How could he not know the nature of the Chaos Bell?

This bell, which accompanied Donghuang Taiyi through his billion-dollar gathering, had long been spiritually connected and was unruly.

After the fall of Donghuang Taiyi, this bell vanished into the void and disappeared, so that even a sage could not easily find it.

Even if you find it, don't expect to subdue it easily.

But Xuan Du spoke of it casually, as if he had just picked up an ordinary object while out.

Tongtian gazed at him, at those eyes as calm as an ancient well, at that young face that exuded endless composure.

Suddenly he laughed.

The laughter was hearty and resounded throughout the palace.

"Good! Good! Good!"

"With such a disciple, what do I have to worry about?!"

After he finished laughing, his gaze fell on the Chaos Bell hanging in the void, his eyes filled with satisfaction.

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.

With this bell in hand, one can attack or defend, suppress destiny, and protect the lineage.

The Jie Sect's billion-dollar society is missing this very item.

Now, I finally have it.

Tongtian raised his hand and gently stroked the bell.

The bell trembled slightly and emitted a long, resonant hum, as if in response.

"The Dao Ancestor once said that after the Great Tribulation, the Chaos Bell would belong to you."

Tongtian spoke slowly, his voice tinged with emotion:

"But we should listen to what the Dao Ancestor says."

"If you don't get it, it doesn't count."

He turned his head and looked at Xuandu:

"Now you have personally found it, personally subdued it, and personally taken it into your possession."

"This cause and effect is a hundred times more profound than what the Dao Ancestor bestowed upon us."

Xuan Du nodded slightly:

"That's what I think too."

Tongtian gazed at him, his eyes deep and unfathomable:

"What do you plan to do with this bell?"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Du's lips slowly curled into a smile.

The smile was faint, yet it carried a sense of openness and sincerity.

"Master."

He spoke, his voice calm:

"This disciple intends to use the Chaos Bell to suppress the destiny of the Jie Sect."

As soon as he finished speaking, Biyou Palace fell silent.

Tongtian was stunned.

He gazed at Xuan Du, at those eyes as calm as an ancient well, at that young face that exuded boundless composure.

The light of swords flickered in his eyes, yet he remained silent for a long time.

Chaos Bell.

One of the Three Treasures of Creation, a supreme treasure, capable of suppressing destiny, protecting the lineage, and enduring through tribulations.

Anyone who obtains such a treasure will be overjoyed.

But Xuandu's first thought wasn't for himself, but for the Jie Sect.

The Intercepting Sect's fortune is unstable, a fact that Tongtian is well aware of.

He was worried about the multi-million dollar meeting day and night.

Lao Tzu used the Tai Chi diagram to suppress the fortune of the Humanist religion; Yuan Shi used the Pangu Banner to suppress the fortune of the Chan religion; and Jieyin and Zhunti used the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus to suppress the fortune of the Western religion.

He alone possessed the power to suppress destiny, yet he lacked the supreme treasure to do so.

Although the Zhuxian Sword Formation is powerful, it is a treasure for killing. Not only can it not suppress destiny, but because of its excessive killing power, it is easy to attract karma and calamity.

Therefore, although the Jie Sect's fortune was prosperous, it was like a rootless duckweed, drifting with the tide, its gathering and scattering unpredictable.

This is the biggest weakness and the biggest hidden danger of the Jie Sect.

Lao Tzu knew, Yuan Shi knew, and Jieyin and Zhunti also knew.

Therefore, they never feared the great fortune of the Jie Sect.

Because they know that no matter how great the fortune, it is nothing more than a rootless duckweed.

When calamity strikes, it's like a gust of wind sweeping away the remaining clouds, leaving nothing behind.

But now...

The Chaos Bell is in hand.

The Jie Sect finally possessed a supreme treasure for suppressing destiny.

Tongtian gazed at Xuandu, at that calm face, at those open and honest eyes.

An indescribable emotion welled up inside me.

The emotions were complex, a mix of relief, emotion, and pride.

"Xuan Du".

Tongtian spoke slowly, his voice slightly deep:

Do you know what you're doing?

Xuan Du nodded slightly:

"This disciple understands."

Tongtian stared at him:

"The Chaos Bell is one of the three treasures of creation, a supreme treasure. If you refine it yourself, your cultivation will advance further, and your combat power will increase by another three points."

"If you use it to suppress the destiny of the Jie Sect, you will not be able to use it at will."

Xuan Du smiled slightly upon hearing this.

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

"Master is overthinking it."

He spoke slowly:

"Suppressing destiny does not conflict with refining and using it."

Tongtian was taken aback.

Xuandu continued:

"Did the Primordial Celestial Venerable's use of the Pangu Banner to suppress the fortune of the Chan Sect prevent him from using the Pangu Banner?"

"Although I deposed Laozi from his position as leader of the Human Cult, did his previous suppression of the Human Cult's fortune with the Tai Chi Diagram prevent him from using the Tai Chi Diagram?"

"Did the use of the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit by Jieyin and Zhunti to suppress the Western Sect's fortune prevent them from using this treasure?"

He paused, his voice calm:

"The treasure suppresses fortune by connecting one's own fortune with the treasure, using the treasure as a foundation to stabilize one's roots."

"The treasure itself can still be used at will by its owner."

"It is usually suspended above the vital energy hub to suppress incense offerings; when facing an enemy, it can be retrieved with a thought and transformed into a weapon of attack."

"After the war, we can hang it back."

"Neither will interfere with the other."

Tongtian was stunned after hearing this.

He gazed at Xuan Du, at those eyes as calm as an ancient well, at that young face that exuded boundless composure.

Suddenly he laughed.

The laughter was hearty and resounded throughout the palace.

"Good! Good! Good!"

"I've been confused."

"That bastard Yuanshi hangs the Pangu Banner above the Jade Void Palace every day, but I've never seen him use it when he's fighting."

"Laozi's Taiji diagram is usually suspended in the Eight Views Palace, and it has never failed to protect him."

"It was I who, in my excitement, forgot about that."

After he finished laughing, he looked at Xuandu, his eyes full of approval:

"Since you have this intention, I am relieved."

"The fortunes of the Jie Sect will be as stable as Mount Tai from now on."

Xuan Du bowed slightly:

"Rest assured, Master."

"I will take care of it immediately."

He turned around and took a step forward.

"Buzz".

The void rippled silently.

The figure in green vanished from Biyou Palace in an instant.
