Imprints of the Mysterious Scholar Mansion's Sages

After Zhou Tong led Ye Fan, Pang Bo, and the others away, people began to cross the Void the Great from Central Plains, and the news spread throughout the entire Big Dipper in an instant.

In an instant, the Central Plains were shaken, the Northern Plains were shaken, the Eastern Wasteland was shaken, the Southern Ridge was shaken, and even the Western Desert was in turmoil. Many ancient temples were illuminated with brilliant Buddha Light.

On this day, the whole world was astonished!

The Jiu Li Diagram was resurrected, but it was taken down by one person, who even suppressed it. This was simply unbelievable; almost no one dared to believe it, and the entire Big Dipper cultivation world was shaken to its core.

Even more terrifying is that, according to an unknown powerful figure present, that being once unleashed the ultimate imperial might and confronted the unsealed Jiu Li Diagram, its aura crushing the ages.

Everyone was stunned, their hearts filled with boundless fear. Many sects that had antagonized Zhou Tong, Ye Fan, Pang Bo, and others were trembling with fear, especially the one who had declared he would visit the Holy Lands to settle their scores.

This caused even more panic among all the holy sites.

Even places like the Yaoguang Holy Land, the Jiang Family, the Ji Family, and the Great Xia, which possess Supreme Emperor Weapon, were shaken. The hostility of a suspected Quasi-Emperor was truly terrifying.

In particular, there are rumors that he is the successor of the Wu Shi the Great and is suspected of possessing the Supreme Emperor Weapon, the Wu Shi Bell!

A Quasi-Emperor wielding Imperial Weapon would be an invincible symbol, not only in this era but even in the Primordial Era. A single word from him could shake the entire Big Dipper!

The Yaoguang Holy Land was the first to publicly withdraw all arrest warrants, and at the same time, the hidden power within the Holy Land spoke out.

"This is a misunderstanding, just some minor disputes among the juniors. Some people from our Holy Land overreacted. We welcome you to Yaoguang, senior, and we will certainly offer you a gift of apology."

With this statement from the Yaoguang Holy Land, the whole world was shocked. The Yaoguang Holy Land was the first to back down and admit defeat. After being extorted for so much, they simply dismissed it as a "dispute among juniors" and completely put aside their previous grudges.

But soon someone realized that Yaoguang was using a feigned retreat as a tactic to advance!

As the successor of the Wu Shi the Great, and a powerful figure of the Supreme Great Emperor, Yao Yaoguang should have shown some kind of response in the face of such "sincere" sincerity!

This is the spirit of Great Emperor; great Great Emperor throughout history have all done similar things!

Even the Ruthless Great Emperor, who claimed to be an enemy of the entire world, once protected the common people.

Others may not know, but some ancient holy sites certainly know of the Ruthless Great Emperor's achievements.

"Brilliant! Yaoguang's move was truly brilliant. By offering an apology gift, this potential calamity has been almost completely averted. As the successor of the Wu Shi the Great, that Great Emperor is unlikely to attack Yaoguang, and might even give a sermon there."

After clarifying many causal relationships, some people secretly praised it; other holy sites were also eager to make a similar statement as the Yaoguang Holy Land.

However, something truly unexpected happened very quickly.

Ye Fan actually jumped out and shouted to Yaoguang, "The Great Emperor is looking for supreme Immortal Material to forge Imperial Weapon, and hopes that Yaoguang Holy Land can generously contribute."

Upon hearing this, the other holy sites fell silent.

They didn't know whether these words represented Ye Fan's own intentions or those of the Great Emperor, whose body was enveloped in seven-colored light. If it was the Great Emperor's intention, they would indeed have to hand over their Immortal Material.

However, to the embarrassment of all the holy lands, their reserves of Immortal Material were almost completely depleted during the last extortion attempt, leaving them with no sufficient Immortal Material to offer.

However, while all the holy lands remained silent, Zhou Tong had already brought Pang Bo and Ye Fan to the Mysterious Scholar Mansion.

Mysterious Scholar Mansion is located among the Spirit Mountain of Central Plains. Nearby, there is a silver dragon waterfall cascading down, towering Dan Cliff Strange Rocks, Immortal Divine Wood standing tall, and the fragrance of Ten-Thousand-Year Spiritual Medicine.

On the stone platform, spotless and pure, a lone Kirin beast lies, surrounded by Spiritual Grass. On the cliff face, Purple Qi rises, Zhi Lan and magnolias exude fragrance, Colorful Luan phoenixes soar and dance. The mountains are also teeming with life, with Divine Blossom blooming, Strange Tree swaying, Longevity Deer Immortal Fox appearing, and spirit birds Mysterious Crane flying about, sometimes appearing and disappearing.

This is the Source of Ten Thousand Meridians, shrouded in Auspicious Qi, with clouds rising and swirling, like Pure Land beyond the world, leaving one in awe.

The cultivators guarding the gate of the Mysterious Scholar Mansion changed their expressions drastically upon seeing Zhou Tong and his group.

The guards immediately relayed the news of Zhou Tong's arrival to the Old Mansion Lord of the Mysterious Scholar Mansion.

Upon receiving the report, the Old Mansion Lord of the Mysterious Scholar Mansion also changed his expression slightly. Standing atop a mountain peak, he looked towards the mountain gate, and his face immediately paled.

This was an Old Mansion Lord had retired long ago; his successors had all died several generations ago. He looked to be in his sixties or seventies, frail and old, with cloudy eyes and sparse, gray hair.

"Is he really a Quasi-Emperor? He doesn't have that aura, and he's completely different from Gai Jiuyou..." The Old Mansion Lord's originally cloudy eyes brightened, but at the same time, a hint of doubt appeared on his face.

"But what is he doing at our Mysterious Scholar Mansion? Does he want to travel to the starry sky via that ancient road? It seems we need to make some serious contact with him..." The Old Mansion Lord pondered for a while, then stepped away from his secluded cultivation place.

Meanwhile, inside the Mysterious Scholar Mansion.

With the arrival of Zhou Tong and his group, the people of the Mysterious Scholar Mansion dared not stop them and respectfully invited them inside.

Zhou Tong maintained his arrogant demeanor, standing with his hands behind his back, surrounded by Seven-Colored Divine Light that obscured his features, age, and expression.

Ye Fan and Pang Bo, on the other hand, were full of pride and arrogance, greeting each of the Holy Son and Saintess in the Mysterious Scholar Mansion. The Holy Son Saintess immediately turned pale, wanting to curse, but after looking at the Seven-Colored Divine Being walking at the front, they fell silent.

"Greetings, seniors!" Just then, three top experts from the Mysterious Scholar Mansion appeared.

These were the same powerful figures they had met at the Jade Pool Holy Land, who had wanted to recruit them into the Mysterious Scholar Mansion.

"May I ask what guidance you have, senior?" one of the powerful figures asked.

"I've heard that the Mysterious Scholar Mansion holds the insights of All Sages. May I have a look?" Zhou Tong used the same voice that the Big Black Dog had used to deceive the Holy Land. He was continuing the identity set by the Big Black Dog, pretending to be the successor of Wu Shi.

"Senior, please!!"

The leading expert dared not stop them and immediately led Zhou Tong into the deepest part of the Mysterious Scholar Mansion.

There, the Stele Forest stretches as far as the eye can see, like grass and trees, everywhere. Each stele exudes a mysterious and boundless aura of law, as if countless insights are imprinted within it.

"Senior, this is all the insights of our ancestors that our Mysterious Scholar Mansion has collected over the years!" an old man dressed in a golden feather robe carefully introduced.

Zhou Tong didn't say much; he walked straight into the Stele Forest steles.

"This is it! The Saint Imprint in the Mysterious Scholar Mansion are even more numerous than those in the Primordial Battlefield!" Zhou Tong was overjoyed. He had finally arrived at this place, and his Hegemonic Bell would finally yield great results.

He struck the Hegemonic Bell with his mind, and the crystal-clear, radiant bell body trembled slightly.

"Thump!"

A bell rang, its melodious sound resounding throughout the entire Stele Forest. Everyone was bathed in the sound of the bell, instantly feeling enlightened and their hearts were filled with tranquility.

At the same time, in an instant, the mountains and rivers, and countless Stele Forest, all resounded, emitting sounds like the grand bells and chimes, as if responding to this wave of sound.

All the imprints left here by the sages seem to span thousands of years, and at this moment they are all stirred up by him, resonating together, as if hundreds or thousands of bells are echoing.

"This is..."

The top experts of the Mysterious Scholar Mansion were shocked, and even the Old Mansion Lord who had rushed over couldn't help but pause and show a shocked expression.

"A single bell wave activated the imprints of all the sages... Is this really Quasi-Emperor? Is this the power of Quasi-Emperor? Is this bell wave the Wu Shi Bell?" The Old Mansion Lord was utterly shocked.

The Stele Forest in the Mysterious Scholar Mansion contains countless profound insights from sages.

Over the years, countless powerful figures have journeyed from here to the starry sky. Almost every one of them who returned left behind an inscription, imprinting their profound understanding of the Great Dao.

Not only these people, but also other sages came here to observe and comprehend the Tao, and even left their own inscriptions.

There are simply too many profound insights into the Dao here; no one can resonate with them all. Even he, who has already attained sainthood, can only connect with a small portion of the inscriptions and sense the Dao Rhyme within them.

But what I saw before me was quite unexpected.

The power of this senior before me is unimaginable and beyond comprehension!

"A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! The great Dao of the ancient sages is manifesting! Quickly summon all the geniuses of the Mysterious Scholar Mansion!" The Old Mansion Lord was very excited and immediately transmitted his voice to the top experts of the Mysterious Scholar Mansion.

Those top experts were greatly shocked and immediately left the Stele Forest. A moment later, hundreds of geniuses who had come to the Mysterious Scholar Mansion to cultivate arrived and sat down to quietly comprehend the imprints activated by Zhou Tong.

"Ye Zi, when did Little Tyrant acquire such abilities? Is this also the power contained within his Vajra Ring? Or is it the power of his replica of the Wu Shi Bell?" Pang Bo transmitted his voice to Ye Fan, asking in a low voice.

"How would I know? Zhou Tong is very mysterious. He must have his own trump cards... I can't figure out how he activated these sage imprints; it's highly likely that it's a replica of the Wu Shi Bell. He has actually been to Purple Mountain and seen the Wu Shi Bell." Ye Fan was also puzzled. "However, Zhou Tong probably wants to go to those holy lands to seek enlightenment from these countless sages!"

"That's right, Little Tyrant is definitely looking for these things. I wonder what use he has for all these insights." Pang Bo was puzzled. Logically speaking, at his current level, he should be comprehending his own Dao. Even if he were to pursue the insights of the sages, there was no need to pursue so many. He could just find a few that suited him.

Regardless of their thoughts, this was an excellent opportunity, and neither Pang Bo nor Ye Fan would let it slip by. They immediately sat down cross-legged and quietly comprehended the great Dao of the many sages in the Mysterious Scholar Mansion.
