Brother Changsheng, Do You Truly Intend to Become Enemies with the Buddha Mother?

In the Golden Crow Ancestral Land.

The Golden Crow Old Ancestor is pondering the matter of reforging the Chaos Bell.

Theoretically, he couldn't help at all in reforging the Chaos Bell, a Creation Treasure; it mainly relied on the Golden Crow True Blood.

However, the steps must be correct; what the Golden Crow Old Ancestor was thinking about was precisely the steps.

However, just as he was thinking, Lu Changsheng's voice rang out, which surprised him.

He waved his hand and opened the gate to the ancestral land.

Soon, Lu Changsheng appeared here.

"Young friend, what brings you here?"

The Golden Crow Old Ancestor spoke, somewhat puzzled, wondering why Lu Changsheng had suddenly returned.

"Senior, it's about the Imperial Artifact."

Lu Changsheng spoke, and after saying this, he prepared to take out the Emperor Artifact, while the Golden Crow Old Ancestor sighed.

"Indeed, it is a very troublesome thing for you to collect 365 imperial artifacts, but it is indispensable if you want to reforge the Chaos Bell. After all, it is Creation Treasure. Of course, if you really can't collect them, I will help you think of a way, but don't have too high hopes. I can only get you one or two imperial artifacts at most."

"It is the Golden Crow Old Ancestor who spoke."

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng's goodwill towards the Golden Crow Old Ancestor increased considerably. After all, under such circumstances, the fact that the other party was willing to help him obtain one or two imperial artifacts was already a great help.

For Lu Changsheng, imperial artifacts were as plentiful as he could ever want, but for the Golden Crow Old Ancestor, each one was extremely precious, and acquiring one or two was already his limit.

"Senior, I have obtained the Emperor Artifact I need. I have come here to give it to you. I will be going to the Demon Race in a few days, so I will not be able to return for the time being."

Lu Changsheng spoke in this way.

However, upon hearing this, the Golden Crow Old Ancestor was slightly taken aback, then smiled wryly and said, "Young friend, don't be silly, just say what you want to say."

The Golden Crow Old Ancestor subconsciously thought that Lu Changsheng was joking, so he gave a wry smile.

However, Lu Changsheng didn't say anything. Since hearing is unreliable, then seeing is believing.

Soon, one imperial artifact after another flew out from his Purple Mansion.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Each imperial artifact is a terrifyingly powerful magic Law Treasure. However, imperial artifacts are nothing to Lu Changsheng, because he has two Creation Treasure, one innate merit treasure, and nine immortal cauldrons.

Theoretically speaking, imperial artifacts were indeed of no importance to him whatsoever.

Let alone the Creation Treasure, just the treasures of innate merit can shatter 365 imperial artifacts with a mere shake.

But for the Golden Crow Old Ancestor, 365 imperial artifacts is an astronomical number. Even at his peak, he couldn't acquire 3.6 pieces. Unless he forcibly seizes someone else's imperial artifacts, normally he would never be able to obtain them.

So the Golden Crow Old Ancestor was dumbfounded.

He had lived through a great era, witnessed countless strange and unusual things, and seen all kinds of storms, but today he was dumbfounded.

And he was completely bewildered.

I don't even know what to say anymore.

Three hundred and sixty-five imperial artifacts.

Transformed into 365 enormous stars, towering in this world, each imperial artifact exuded terrifying imperial might, each imperial artifact was enough to make the stars in the sky tremble, and each imperial artifact could shatter a large domain of the immortal realm.

The appearance of 365 imperial artifacts created a powerful trend, with various Principle and orders intertwining and seemingly evolving something, which was incredibly awe-inspiring.

Clang!

However, as a bell rang, all the imperial artifacts fell silent at that moment.

All imperial power was restrained, as if no one dared to act rashly before the Golden Crow Divine Bell.

The three hundred and sixty-five imperial artifacts fell silent, but the Golden Crow Old Ancestor was still filled with shock.

After a long while, the Golden Crow Old Ancestor finally let out a slow breath.

He was truly shocked.

The three hundred and sixty-five imperial artifacts were one of them. In less than a day, Lu Changsheng had gathered three hundred and sixty-five imperial artifacts. Just what kind of existence was this?

"Did the gods give it to you?"

When the Golden Crow Old Ancestor spoke, he came back to his senses, thought for a while, and asked Lu Changsheng.

He subconsciously thought that the gods were helping Lu Changsheng, because in the whole world, there was no other race besides the gods who could have so many powerful beings with imperial artifacts.

"No." Lu Changsheng shook his head, a response that astonished the Golden Crow Old Ancestor once again.

"If not a god, then who is it?"

The Golden Crow Old Ancestor couldn't believe it. So many imperial artifacts—if they weren't given by the gods, did he just pick them up himself?

"Senior, have you ever heard of the Ten Thousand Immortal Mountains?"

Lu Changsheng asked.

"Of course I know."

The Golden Crow Old Ancestor nodded.

Lu Changsheng smiled calmly and said, "It's quite a coincidence. The old senior asked me to find 365 imperial artifacts. At first, I did find it difficult. Later, I heard that there were many treasures in the Ten Thousand Immortal Mountains, so I decided to go and try my luck."

"You know what, the Ten Thousand Immortal Mountains are indeed full of treasures. I was lucky enough to find 365 imperial artifacts, not one more and not one less."

Lu Changsheng smiled calmly. He made it sound easy, but the actual process of obtaining the treasure was even easier.

"Are there so many treasures in the Ten Thousand Immortal Mountains?"

The Golden Crow Old Ancestor clearly did not believe it.

"Yes, some people have even obtained unparalleled fortune and can directly become Immortal Emperors."

Lu Changsheng casually made up a story. Since the Golden Crow Old Ancestor didn't believe it anyway, he didn't say anything more. There was nothing he could do; he had already exaggerated it several times over. If he told the truth, the Ancestor would probably believe it even less.

"Sigh, never mind, everyone has their own secrets. The fact that you obtained so many imperial artifacts is your own good fortune and secret, so I won't ask any more questions."

The Golden Crow Old Ancestor shook his head, thinking that since Lu Changsheng was unwilling to talk about it, he would not ask any further questions. However, after saying this, he...

The Golden Crow Old Ancestor continued, "Now that the Emperor Artifact has been found, the next step is to repair the Chaos Bell. However, this process will be very long. If you are willing to wait, you can wait here. If you are not willing, you can leave the Chaos Bell behind."

"How long will it take approximately?"

Lu Changsheng asked directly.

"It will take at least two years, and at most ten years."

The Golden Crow Old Ancestor answered.

"Two years at the fastest, ten years at the slowest?"

The timing was uncertain, but reforging the Chaos Bell was something that had to be done. Lu Changsheng didn't think much about it and directly took out the Chaos Bell and handed it to the Golden Crow Old Ancestor.

He wasn't worried about the Golden Crow Old Ancestor stealing his treasures and leaving. In all the world, he was the one who took advantage of others; he had never been taken advantage of by others.

So he doesn't worry about this kind of thing, and he doesn't even think about it.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, senior."

Lu Changsheng handed the Chaos Bell to the Golden Crow Old Ancestor, who carefully accepted Chaos Bell with eyes full of respect and reverence, and continued to speak.

"The biggest problem in reforging the Chaos Bell is not repairing the damage caused by time. The 365 imperial artifacts can be used as nourishment to repair this problem. The most difficult part is the Body Integration."

"The Golden Crow Old Ancestor said earnestly."

"Body Integration?"

Lu Changsheng was somewhat puzzled.

"Yes, it's about Body Integration. Originally, the Golden Crow Divine Bell and the Chaos Bell were one, but later, due to a terrible attack, they were eventually split in two, and even their original bodies separated again. That's why the Black Bell and the Green Bell appeared. With the help of 365 imperial artifacts, the Black Bell and the Green Bell can be fused into one. It's not a big problem."

"But the fusion of the Chaos Bell and the Golden Crow Divine Bell is very troublesome. My only confidence is the Essence Blood of the Primordial Ancestor. If it succeeds, the Creation Treasure will reappear, shocking the Thirty-Three Heavens and making the Nine Nether Ghost Souls weep. But if it fails, it will be very troublesome. There is only one drop of the Primordial Ancestor's Essence Blood. It will be difficult to find a second drop."

"That's what the Golden Crow Old Ancestor said."

The most troublesome part of fusing the Chaos Bell and the Golden Crow Divine Bell is the fusion of the original body and the deity. The two have been separated since the Chaos Era. The original body of the Chaos Bell is tainted with mortal energy, so the fusion is very troublesome. It requires 365 imperial artifacts to cleanse it of the erosion of time and the energy of the mortal world.

Ultimately, the Essence Blood of the Eastern Emperor Monarch are needed to fuse the two, a process that is extremely complicated and could easily fail if not handled carefully.

"Senior, when the fusion is complete, send someone to find me. I'll be either in the Thirty-Three Heavens or in the Demon Realm. I want to witness their fusion in person."

Lu Changsheng said earnestly.

Since the fusion was so troublesome, he decided to come in person. After all, he was so lucky; if he were there, it would be a sure thing.

"Good."

The Golden Crow Old Ancestor couldn't fathom Lu Changsheng's thoughts; he simply believed that Lu Changsheng wanted to witness it firsthand.

"Then, senior, I'll take my leave now."

"Good."

Lu Changsheng nodded and prepared to get up and leave, but then he stopped.

"Senior, I have a question I'd like to ask."

Lu Changsheng stopped and looked at the Golden Crow Old Ancestor. He had a question that he felt uncomfortable not asking.

"Go ahead and ask."

The Golden Crow Old Ancestor said calmly.

"I observe that your realm seems to have reached the Immortal Emperor level, but I also find that your realm is neither the Immortal Emperor level nor the Quasi-Emperor level. Why is that, Senior?"

Lu Changsheng voiced his doubts.

However, the Golden Crow Old Ancestor remained remarkably calm upon hearing this.

"I was once an Immortal Emperor, but I should have died long ago. I owed Heaven and Earth 50 million years of karma, just to live to this era and meet the destined person who possesses the Chaos Bell. But having owed so much karma, Heaven will naturally take something away from me."

"Young friend, I see that you also owe a lot of karma. You must remember that if you can, try your best to repay the karma. Otherwise, the higher your realm, the more you will owe. Unless you can transcend the Great Dao, when you become an Immortal Emperor, these karmas will make you know what despair is."

"The Golden Crow Old Ancestor said very seriously."

The reason he is now like an immortal emperor, yet not an immortal emperor, is entirely because he owes heaven and earth karma. He has not died, but he is not allowed to go anywhere and can only stay in the ancestral land, which is no different from a living dead.

Moreover, the karmic debts owed will be repaid even after his death. For example, the Golden Crow Race will inexplicably bear part of the karmic debts.

"Understood."

After listening to what the Golden Crow Old Ancestor had to say, Lu Changsheng nodded, but he couldn't help but feel a strange mix of emotions.

Indeed, from beginning to end, I have accumulated a great deal of karmic debt. The forty-eight great vows of the Buddhist realm alone could crush ten heavenly courts.

With so much karma weighing on him, even encountering an existence like the Star Immortal Emperor wouldn't be enough to offset it.

Because the karmic debts owed are simply too many.

At first, Lu Changsheng didn't feel anything, but after owing so much, he realized that the Heavenly Dao didn't seem to care at all, which made Lu Changsheng inexplicably panic.

It's like borrowing money from loan sharks. You expect them to come and violently collect the money every day, but to your surprise, they not only don't violently collect the money, but they don't even ask a single question, as if they never borrowed from you.

How could Lu Changsheng not be a little scared?

"Could it be that they're preparing a powerful move?"

After leaving the Golden Crow Ancestral Land, Lu Changsheng flew directly towards the Thirty-Three Heavens.

He was pondering this question.

I just couldn't come up with an answer no matter how much I thought about it.

In less than half an hour, Lu Changsheng arrived at the Thirty-Three Heavens, atop the Hong Palace.

"Elder brother!"

As Lu Changsheng arrived at the Hong Clan Immortal Palace, Princess Hong Ling appeared before Lu Changsheng in an instant and affectionately took Lu Changsheng arm.

"Sister Hong Er, I've come to see you today because I need your help with something."

Upon meeting Princess Hong Ling, Lu Changsheng got straight to the point.

"Is it related to the Buddha Mother's Object of Dao Attainment?"

Princess Hong Ling asked directly.

You know?

Lu Changsheng was somewhat surprised.

"My clan's supreme leader has already told me, Brother Changsheng, this matter is far too complicated for me to handle. I don't know how to explain it to you. But Hong Er wants to ask you a question, Brother, do you really want to be an enemy of the Buddha Mother?"

Princess Hong Ling spoke, her expression serious and somber.

This was the first time Lu Changsheng had seen Princess Hong Ling with such a serious expression.

Will this matter cause you a lot of trouble? If you don't want to get involved, then I won't involve you.

Lu Changsheng did not answer, but instead asked Princess Hong Ling if it would really cause her trouble, then he would not involve Princess Hong Ling.

To be honest, Princess Hong Ling had helped him so much; if she felt troubled, Lu Changsheng wouldn't have tricked her.

"Brother Changsheng, answer me first."

However, Princess Hong Ling did not answer Lu Changsheng's question, but continued to question Lu Changsheng.

"I will definitely help this person."

Lu Changsheng nodded, giving him an unequivocal look. He didn't say anything about being an enemy of the Buddha Mother, but the meaning behind his words was quite simple.

"No matter how big the implications are, you're not afraid?"

Princess Hong Ling asked again.

"Kindness."

Lu Changsheng said with absolute certainty.

Princess Hong Ling nodded, but said nothing more.

This, however, made Lu Changsheng frown.

"Sister Hong Er, if this affects you, just say so. I won't involve you."

Lu Changsheng spoke, not understanding what this meant.

However, Brother Changsheng Princess Hong Ling shook her head and said, "Brother Changsheng, remember, I will support you no matter what. I am not afraid of being implicated in anything. But since you insist on getting involved in this matter, come with Hong Er and meet the Supreme One of my Hong Clan. He will tell you everything."

Princess Hong Ling spoke, saying this.

"Good."

Lu Changsheng became even more curious, but he didn't say anything and followed Princess Hong Ling.
