Seeing the Wu Shi Bell Again
Ye Fan was stunned, and Zi Xia and Duan De were also dumbfounded. This Ancestor King had actually disappeared like this.
"I see. When we came in, he was already in the process of passing away and was about to die." Ye Fan suddenly realized, "So you had already seen that this Ancestor King was about to die."
"It was indeed a stroke of luck; the barrier of the Holy Domain is truly terrifying!" Zhou Tong sighed softly.
If it weren't for his three strands of Immortal Qi being able to withstand the barrier of the Saint Realm, this battle would have been even more difficult for him. But even so, Zhou Tong was constantly being suppressed by this Primordial Ancestral King.
"However... the harvest was not bad either. The last move gave me a glimmer of hope!" Zhou Tong was in a good mood. The fusion of the Thunder Emperor Treasure Technique, the True Dragon Treasure Art, and the Immortal Phoenix Treasure Art could be further improved, and traces of a brand-new secret technique could already be seen.
After the Ancestor King's death in battle, this place fell silent once more, with nothing but Jade Pavilion and Palace. When the group arrived at the Dao Platform they had seen earlier, Zhou Tong shook his head. This was not the Dao Platform of the Wu Shi the Great; he had simply mistaken it for one in his excitement.
"Is this really the deepest part of Purple Mountain?" Ye Fan asked.
Zhou Tong shook his head and said, "Purple Mountain looks small from the outside, but there is a Small World Purple Mountain inside. Moreover, this Small World was probably created by the Undying Heavenly Emperor specifically for his subordinates. I didn't come here back then."
"Most of the Heavenly Emperor Son's subordinates came from here!" Duan De added.
Zhou Tong and Duan De collaborated to continue deducing the routes within Purple Mountain.
The group continued onward, following an ancient path paved with Cyan Jade, until they arrived at an ancient site with the ruins of pavilions, as well as withered old vines and ancient trees.
Ahead, the water shimmered, revealing a pool carved from Cyan Jade, now a body of water with white mist rising from it.
"Could this be the bathing place of the Wu Shi the Great?" Ye Fan's eyes showed some surprise.
Duan De acted quickly, immediately reaching out to touch the water. He was surprised. "This water is special; it can increase cultivation speed. There must be Divine Spring upstream!"
He was so excited that he jumped up and ran upstream.
"This fat guy, when there's something good, he runs faster than anyone else!" Ye Fan, both amused and exasperated.
The group soon arrived at the end of the stream, where clouds and mist rose and swirled, Ten Colors. There was an even more magnificent spring pool, carved from five-colored jade.
"This is definitely the purification place of the Wu Shi the Great. I, the Daoist, will also enjoy it." Fatty Duan pounced in and drank several large mouthfuls of spring water.
"Sigh, Master Duan is too fast; he even drinks the dog's bathwater with such gusto!" Zhou Tong laughed helplessly.
"What do you mean?" Duan De sensed that something was very wrong.
Zhou Tong was too lazy to say more, and gestured with his eyes to a tuft of dog hair not far away.
Fatty Duan's face turned pale immediately, and he gagged violently, almost vomiting bile.
"Damn it, is there some kind of dog here? What a waste, bathing in such a sacred pool?" Duan De cursed as he vomited. "I know which bastard it is, it's that damned dog that deserves to be torn to pieces. I knew he had something to do with the Wu Shi the Great..."
Zhou Tong was somewhat surprised. It seemed that Duan De and the Big Black Dog had met again after more than ten years!
"Is it a predestined fate?" Zhou Tong wondered.
The Big Black Dog and Duan De clearly have a past relationship. Back in the Chaotic Ancient Era, the dog of the Immortal King Wuzhong also chased and bit Cao Yusheng all day long.
"A dead dog?" Ye Fan was surprised; he had never seen Big Black Dog before.
Zhou Tong: "Ye Fan, have you forgotten? Back in Central Plains, we set up a trap. You and Pang Bo were out there attracting hatred. Before I appeared, there was a Array Diagram emanating Chaos Qi, the one who claimed to Wu Shi of Wushi."
"The thing inside that Array Diagram isn't a person, it's a dog?" Ye Fan was dumbfounded.
"Yes, it was the dog raised by the Wu Shi the Great. It wanted to see the birth of the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo, so it probably wanted to save your life back then! But it obviously didn't expect that the incident was a trap we set together!" Zhou Tong also laughed, the dog had obviously miscalculated.
Moreover, Zhou Tong was certain that the dog had gone to find Ye Fan afterward. But unfortunately, Ye Fan had already gone to the Ziwei Star Domain by then, and everything the dog had done was destined to be in vain.
"So that's how it is!" Ye Fan was somewhat lost in thought. The truth about that incident back then had finally come to light.
"Wow, that god-like figure from last time was you? You can even impersonate Great Emperor? No wonder there wasn't a single trace of that person in the entire cultivation world. Hey brother, when are we going to try it out? I can be the bait outside!" Duan De looked at Zhou Tong, his eyes also burning with desire.
Zhou Tong glanced at Duan De, too lazy to say anything.
What a snobbish guy! He was calling me "senior" when we first met, but now he's calling me "brother"?
"Master Duan, is the spring water still sweet?" Ye Fan patted Duan De's shoulder shamelessly, his expression somewhat sly.
"Birdman Saint Body, don't mention this again!!" Duan De felt nauseous again.
After passing the spring, the group continued on their way.
The terrain inside Purple Mountain is very complex, with ancient paths that are deep and secluded. Dust-covered divine pearls shimmer with a dim light, illuminating the way ahead.
As they continued forward, the lid of the Heaven Swallowing Devil Pot above Duan De's head suddenly floated out involuntarily, hovering above the group and casting down wisps of dark light that enveloped them all.
"What's going on?" Ye Fan asked in surprise.
"If there's any weapon that can withstand the Wu Shi Bell Wave, then it's undoubtedly the best in the world. But we should still be careful, as mine is only half of the Heaven Swallowing Devil Pot," Duan De said, carefully observing his surroundings and looking for anything unusual.
"We're almost at the main hall, the main hall beneath the Wu Shi Bell!" Zhou Tong said, pointing to a huge hall not far away.
"The main hall beneath the Wu Shi Bell?" Ye Fan subconsciously looked up at the top of the hall and discovered that it was shaped exactly like a bell!
"The Wu Shi Bell? It was actually hidden inside the stone?" Zi Xia was also surprised.
"The Wushi Scripture is right there. Be careful, and whatever you do, don't trigger the bell's power!" Zhou Tong warned. However, he also knew that the Wu Shi Bell most likely wouldn't harm them.
He also has Ye Fan and Zi Xia by his side!
Not only will the Wu Shi Bell not act, it might even try its best to facilitate their actions. After all, the Wu Shi the Great needs the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo as a backup plan to deal with the Dark Turmoil.
Ye Fan and Zi Xia were both very excited. The square in front of them could be seen at a glance, and a huge stone book stood on the ground in the distance. That was the Wushi Scripture).
At this moment, the several pieces of Emperor Jade on Zhou Tong's body began to heat up and tremble slightly, emanating a warm power.
"The Wushi Scripture!!"
Duan De exclaimed in surprise and ran faster than a rabbit, rushing forward. Zhou Tong quickly followed. Ye Fan and Zi Xia also caught up with Xiao Nannan.
