Yellow Springs Peak Master

"What a huge bell, what immense pressure!"

Fang Chen stared intently at the great bell in the sky, finding his breathing becoming difficult.

Li Yanshan also looked up at the great bell hovering above the Sky Lake and said, "This bell is the Glazed Bell, one of the three supreme treasures of our Glazed Sword Sect, second only to the Glazed Sword and the Glazed Pagoda. Although it's not completely shattered, it's severely damaged!"

Speaking of the Glazed Bell, Li Yanshan couldn't help but sigh. If the Glazed Sword Sect's Glazed Sword, Glazed Pagoda, and Glazed Bell hadn't been damaged, their strength wouldn't have declined to its current state.

"A Saint Tool?"

Fang Chen's eyes lit up slightly. He knew that Saint Tools were treasures refined by Saints, possessing immense power. He hadn't expected this large bell before him to be a legendary Saint Tool, an existence second only to Supreme Emperor Weapons.

Li Yanshan nodded slightly and said, "Yes, we must use the Glazed Bell to open the path to the trial!"

At this moment, the disciples by the Sky Lake all looked up at the Glazed Bell above the lake's surface, lost in thought. Even for disciples like Li Yanshan and Elder Yun, who had seen the Glazed Bell many times, it still held a sense of mystery. The Glazed Bell was currently emitting mysterious Great Dao laws.

Fang Chen discovered that under the special pressure emanating from the Glazed Bell, his thoughts immediately became more active.

Li Yanshan said to Fang Chen, "Fang Chen, the Dao rhythm emanating from the Glazed Bell is beneficial for our cultivation. Many people even enter a state of enlightenment. You should also experience it carefully; it will be greatly beneficial to your cultivation!"

After speaking, Li Yanshan immediately closed his eyes.

Fang Chen glanced at Elder Yun and saw that Elder Yun had also closed his eyes. Even the black dog, Little Six, by Elder Yun's side, was the same. It closed its eyes, its large ears drooping, looking profound.

Fang Chen looked around and saw that everyone else was doing the same.

At this moment, Fang Chen felt the Dao rhythm emanating from the Glazed Bell grow stronger. He also slowly closed his eyes and began to circulate the Glazed Qi Refining Art.

"Chichichi..."

As Fang Chen circulated the Glazed Qi Refining Art, the vortex of True Qi in his Dantian began to spin rapidly, and its speed was faster than when Fang Chen cultivated with all his might.

The next moment, Fang Chen felt a special spiritual energy drilling into his body from the outside. His body immediately felt warm. This spiritual energy was different from the spiritual energy Fang Chen usually absorbed from the outside world during his cultivation. Under the effect of this special spiritual energy, Fang Chen's heart rate instantly accelerated, his blood began to boil, and his muscles started to move in rhythm with the Glazed Bell's emanations.

Just then, Fang Chen felt wisps of cool airflow appearing in the palm of his right hand. They then traveled along his meridians and entered his mind.

"Buzz!"

As this cool airflow entered Fang Chen's mind, he felt a surge of energy. Immediately, everything in his vision disappeared, leaving only the Glazed Bell floating on the lake.

Under his gaze, the inscriptions on the surface of the Glazed Bell instantly emitted a dazzling blue light, and then the characters detached from the bell, flying rapidly around it.

This scene was similar to when Fang Chen had an epiphany while chopping a large rock at Dog Head Ridge.

More and more characters detached from the Glazed Bell, circling it continuously.

At the same time, Fang Chen felt the mysterious spiritual energy pouring into his body from the outside becoming stronger and stronger. The flow of his blood constantly accelerated, and the speed of his muscle movements also increased.

"Clang!"

Suddenly, the Glazed Bell let out a loud chime. The immense sound waves caused the calm lake surface below to ripple.

The characters circling the Glazed Bell instantly scattered under the effect of the chime, arranging themselves neatly in the air to form a Cultivation Method.

Fang Chen stared at the Cultivation Method in the sky, his eyes narrowing slightly. He was incredibly surprised. He hadn't expected these characters to form a Cultivation Method. This Cultivation Method was called the 'Glazed Body Refining Art.' The Glazed Body Refining Art seemed to originate from the same source as the Glazed Qi Refining Art; the Glazed Qi Refining Art focused on refining Qi, while the Glazed Body Refining Art focused on refining the body.

At this moment, Fang Chen noticed that the water in the Sky Lake was flying upwards, drop by drop, and then circling the Glazed Bell.

The Glazed Bell above the Sky Lake also began to rotate rapidly, and a special power of law descended.

"Whoosh..."

The lake water below was attracted by the mysterious power of law and immediately surged upwards. Fang Chen saw many fish, shrimp, crabs, and snails being swept into the sky along with the lake water.

"So powerful!"

Fang Chen was immediately shocked by the scene before him. When he was in his village, he had heard the scholars tell stories of gods in mythology who could move mountains and drain seas, and he had envied them.

What he was witnessing now was almost comparable to the "moving mountains and draining seas" from those mythological tales.

Soon, all the water in the Sky Lake was drawn into the sky by the Glazed Bell. The lake water rotated around the Glazed Bell in the sky, and Fang Chen and the others could see the bottom of the Sky Lake.

At the bottom of the lake, there were sand and stones, and Fang Chen and the others saw a large amount of wreckage, even some giant skeletons. However, the central area of the lake was obscured by white mist.

"Splash..."

Suddenly, a large number of colorful paper cranes flew out from the Glazed Bell and flew in all directions, then hovered in front of everyone.

Fang Chen stared at the small paper cranes emitting colorful light before him, a look of confusion on his face. He didn't know why these small paper cranes were hovering in front of them.

Li Yanshan smiled slightly and said, "These are Glazed Paper Cranes, condensed by the Sect's experts using Mana with the Glazed Bell. They have the function of storage. When we enter the trial path and find Glazed Mushrooms, just whistle at a Glazed Paper Crane, and it will open its mouth to swallow the mushroom. No one else can snatch it. The purpose of storing the Glazed Mushrooms in the Glazed Paper Cranes is to preserve their spiritual energy and prevent it from dissipating. Besides Glazed Mushrooms, they can also store other items. Once we leave the Sky Lake's barrier, the Glazed Paper Cranes will disappear within an hour!"

After speaking, Li Yanshan took out his identity token and branded an mark on the Glazed Paper Crane before him. The others did the same.

Seeing this, Fang Chen also took out his identity token and branded the Glazed Paper Crane.

After branding it, Fang Chen felt a subtle connection form between himself and the Glazed Paper Crane.

Just then, an old man in a yellow robe descended from the sky and appeared below the Glazed Bell. He had a thin face, and his hair, eyebrows, and beard were all white. His eyes gleamed with sharp light, and the cloud patterns on his collar and cuffs were golden. He exuded a powerful aura.
