Primordial Era: I've become a cheat code by taking Yang Jian as my disciple?

The small, bronze bell, no bigger than the palm of a hand, hovered in front of Yang Jian, its surface adorned with ancient patterns, emitting a deep hum.

Zhong Lingyun did not conceal his true form's aura.

It wasn't that he didn't want to hide, but that Yu Ding Zhenren's divine sense had already touched Yang Jian—to hide any longer would be to show weakness.

When sparring with a Grand Immortal, the worst thing you can do is show weakness.

Moreover, he was only a Great Luo Immortal. At his peak, with the help of Taiyi, the two of them could even fight against multiple Saints!

"Buzz—"

A thin layer of golden light shone on the surface of the Chaos Bell, and the pressure it released was precisely controlled within the range of "being able to block a full-force attack from a Grand Luo Golden Immortal".

Not a penny more, not a penny less.

Master Yu Ding was struck dumb as if by lightning.

He stared intently at the small bell, recognizing the patterns and Daoist charm on it.

Even though this bell is only the size of a palm, and even though its power seems to have weakened to the extreme, the unique aura of a primordial treasure is something that Master Yu Ding, who has cultivated for tens of thousands of years, would never mistake!

"The Chaos Bell!"

When those three words came out of his mouth, Master Yu Ding's own breathing quickened for a moment.

The Chaos Bell, the most treasured artifact of the demon race, which disappeared tens of thousands of years after the Lich War!

Now it's in the hands of an ordinary boy!

The matter of taking on disciples has been completely forgotten by Master Yuding!

He raised his hand, his robe sleeves billowing, and an invisible suction force emanated from the cuffs, enveloping Yang Jian and Chaos Zhong.

Thirty-Six Heavenly Divine Powers - Universe in the Sleeve!

With the full force of the Great Luo Golden Immortal, the space within a radius of ten zhang was collapsing towards the sleeve of Jade Cauldron True Man!

The ground cracked, the stone table and benches in the courtyard were pulverized, and Yang Jian's feet left two deep marks on the ground.

"It can be blocked."

Zhong Lingyun made a calm judgment.

"Thump!"

The Chaos Bell emitted a deep sound, and its golden bell walls expanded, enveloping Yang Jian.

The suction force of the hidden universe in the sleeve collided with the wall of the Chaos Bell, like waves crashing against rocks, and shattered with a roar!

Master Yu Ding staggered back a step.

A genuine expression of emotion finally appeared on his face.

It wasn't fear—it was greed.

A supreme innate treasure, weakened to the extreme, could withstand his full-force attack. If he could acquire it and refine it... why would Jade Cauldron True Man worry about not being able to survive the great calamity?

Even—the path to quasi-sainthood!

Master Yu Ding took a deep breath and began to form hand seals.

This time, he's prepared to use his most trump card.

Zhong Lingyun sensed the surging magical power fluctuations within Yu Ding Zhenren's body, and his heart sank.

It's best not to get entangled with them.

The true power of a Great Luo Golden Immortal far surpasses the power he is currently unleashing; relying on only three percent of his original strength is only enough to block one attack.

Even more dangerous is that if the commotion is too great, it will definitely alarm the sage!

It's time to go!

"Yang Jian, hold your sister!"

At Zhong Lingyun's command, the Chaos Bell suddenly expanded to several feet, its mouth facing downwards, enveloping everything in the courtyard.

The space inside the bell opened, and Yang Jian picked up Yang Chan, who had been awakened inside the room, and was swept into the bell by golden light.

In the next instant, Zhong Lingyun made a decision.

He drew out a wisp of the enormous golden crow essence deep within his body.

Just a wisp.

"boom--!"

A dazzling golden light burst forth from the surface of the Chaos Bell, and the aura of the Golden Crow's origin spread out in an instant!

That was the remnant power of Donghuang Taiyi—even a wisp of it was like the blazing sun overhead, causing Yu Ding Zhenren to suddenly change color!

Because the level of pressure contained in just this wisp of power has already touched the threshold of Quasi-Saint!

Master Yu Ding instantly stopped making hand seals, his pupils dilating in shock.

Meanwhile, the Chaos Bell had transformed into a golden stream of light, carrying Yang Jian and Yang Chan, tearing through the void and disappearing into the horizon.

The courtyard was in a mess, with rubble and broken wood scattered all over the ground.

Master Yu Ding stood still, staring at the direction where the golden light disappeared, his chest heaving violently.

After a long while, he slowly exhaled.

"The Chaos Bell...!"

His eyes flickered several times before he took out a jade talisman and infused it with his divine sense.

A moment later, the jade talisman shattered, and the message was sent out.

Destination—Kunlun Mountain, Yuxu Palace!

Within the Jade Void Palace, the celestial light of the Thirty-Three Heavens shines eternally.

Yuanshi Tianzun sat upright on the Eight Treasures Cloud Throne, with the Pangu Banner in his hand held horizontally in front of his knees.

In the void before him, a shattered fragment of a jade talisman was slowly dissipating, but the information it contained had already flooded into his consciousness.

Chaos Bell.

Yang Jian.

The realm of innate nature.

Three keywords collided in the mind of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, and countless stars and rivers were born and died in his open eyes.

"interesting."

The fact that Yuanshi Tianzun stood up signified the seriousness of the situation—there were very few instances in the entire prehistoric world where even a sage would personally rise up.

He took a step, and he was no longer in Jade Void Palace!

At the mouth of the Guanjiang River, the ruins of the Yang family courtyard.

When the figure of Yuanshi Tianzun appeared out of thin air, there was no warning whatsoever.

Unlike the Jade Cauldron Immortal's deliberate use of noise, the arrival of a sage caused the heavens and earth to naturally fall into a state of solemnity!

Birds and beasts within a hundred miles fell to the ground motionless at the same moment, the surface of the Guanjiang River ceased its ripples, and even the wind stopped.

Master Yu Ding was already waiting on the side. Upon seeing his teacher appear, he immediately bowed and paid his respects.

"teacher."

Yuanshi Tianzun did not look at him.

The sage's gaze fell upon the dilapidated courtyard—rubble, broken wood, two deep marks on the ground dragged out by suction, and the extremely faint aura of the golden crow lingering in the air.

Yuanshi Tianzun raised his right hand.

In an instant, time seemed to rewind throughout the entire Guanjiang Estuary—the rubble flew back to its original position, the broken wood was pieced back together, and even the cracks in the ground began to heal.

This is not restoration, but a sage retracing the causal clues of this place!

Time rewinds to the moment when the Chaos Bell departed.

In the scene, a golden stream of light, carrying Yang Jian and Yang Chan, tore through the void and flew away, its light dazzling.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable manipulated hand seals, attempting to trace the whereabouts of the Chaos Bell along the spatial rift.

His divine sense spread out like a vast ocean, covering the entire prehistoric continent.

Mountains and rivers, cities and villages—all things are revealed in the sage's perception with every detail!

Then—it stopped.

When the spatial rift reached a certain point, the trace suddenly disappeared, like a river suddenly disappearing into the ground without a trace.

The Celestial Venerable of Primordial Beginning remained expressionless, but changed his methods.

The workings of Heaven.

The sage communicates with the Way of Heaven, using the Chaos Bell as an anchor point to try to calculate its current location.

With the blessing of Heaven, the secrets of Heaven were peeled away layer by layer before him—

"Buzz".

An invisible shock came from the depths of the heavenly secrets, and the deductions of the Primordial Heavenly Lord were bounced back as if hitting an iron wall.

When positions are equal, the secrets of heaven are not revealed!

No matter how weak the Chaos Bell becomes, its essence remains a supreme innate treasure, on par with sages in the realm of the Heavenly Dao.

Sages can calculate all things under heaven, but they cannot calculate beings at the same level as themselves.

This is like two mirrors facing each other; they can only reflect endless illusions, and you can never see the truth behind the mirror.

Yuanshi Tianzun withdrew his magical power and stood with his hands behind his back.
