Where Does the Demon Emperor Know the Chaos Bell Is?

Nuwa spoke directly, "Three Pure Ones, why take things to such extremes?"

"Taiyi acted against your elder brother without first learning the cause of the matter. He was indeed at fault, but that does not mean the three of you must go to war with the Demon Race."

"I will ask the Demon Race to provide medicinal pills to help your elder brother recover from his injuries, then compensate you with several Innate Spirit Treasures. How does that sound?"

At this moment, Dijun and Taiyi no longer dared to voice their own opinions. Nuwa had become their only lifeline.

After all, only Nuwa could quell the anger of the Three Pure Ones. As for paying out some Innate Spirit Treasures, they could only consider it a price for avoiding disaster.

In truth, the Three Pure Ones also knew that if they truly went to war with the Demon Race, Hongjun would never permit it. Even if they sided with the Witch Race, Hongjun could not possibly turn a blind eye.

But the Three Pure Ones were unwilling to let the Demon Race off so easily. They immediately began communicating in secret.

"Eldest Brother, Third Brother, although our elder brother was severely injured, his life is not in danger. We might as well use this opportunity to obtain the Chaos Bell."

"The Chaos Bell is Taiyi's companion spirit treasure. I fear he may not agree to hand it over. If we want the Chaos Bell, we brothers will have to put some pressure on the Demon Race."

"Eldest Brother, Second Brother, just tell me what to do. Your third brother will listen to you. Before that, I must first rescue our elder brother."

Tongtian then stopped paying attention to the matter and directly slashed the Azure Duckweed Sword in his hand toward the collapsed Wuyi Mountain.

Tongtian intended to split open the mountain and rescue Lu Xuan from his predicament. Yet when his sword fell, it failed to damage the collapsed peak in the slightest.

Tongtian even felt a powerful recoil that sent the Azure Duckweed Sword flying from his hand.

Tongtian immediately put away the Azure Duckweed Sword and flew toward the mountain burying Lu Xuan, intending to see what had blocked his sword.

At the same time, Laozi spoke. "Junior Sister Nuwa, do you think we Three Pure Ones lack Innate Spirit Treasures, or do we lack spirit pills and wondrous medicines?"

The moment Laozi said this, Nuwa understood. His meaning was that her offer was too little, and there was no room for negotiation.

If Laozi truly intended to wage an all-out war against the Demon Race, there would have been no need for him to say such words. He could simply have led his disciples and Lu Xuan away.

She immediately asked Laozi, "May I ask what compensation Senior Brother Laozi believes the Demon Race must offer to preserve the dignity of the three of you?"

Primordial Heavenly Venerable spoke directly. "Junior Sister Nuwa, I know you are the Sage of the Demon Race. I cannot refuse you this favor."

"How about this? We brothers will take a step back and set a ten-thousand-year term. Ten thousand years from now, we will revoke today's decision."

Primordial Heavenly Venerable's words nearly made Dijun cough up blood. If the disciples of the Sages slaughtered the Demon Race for ten thousand years, combined with Laozi's bounty, would there be any Great Luo Golden Immortals left among the Demon Race?

Dijun immediately said to Primordial Heavenly Venerable, "Sage Yuqing, my Demon Race knows that with our strength, we are not qualified to oppose the disciples of the Sages."

"Therefore, I ask the three Sages to consider Empress Nuwa's sake and give my Demon Race a chance to reform."

"My Demon Race is willing to offer one hundred Fusang Fruits, one hundred Moon Laurel Seeds, fifty Low-Grade Innate Spirit Treasures, thirty Mid-Grade Innate Spirit Treasures, and ten High-Grade Innate Spirit Treasures."

"Also, does not the elder brother of the three Sages desire Golden Crow Blood Essence? Dijun is willing to offer nine drops of blood essence as an apology."

This time, Dijun had truly paid a heavy price. Unfortunately, he never imagined that the Three Pure Ones had set their sights on the Chaos Bell.

Primordial Heavenly Venerable shook his head. "When Father God opened the world, the Pangu Axe split into three and transformed into the Taiji Diagram, the Pangu Banner, and the Chaos Bell."

"We brothers are of the Pangu Orthodox Lineage and are destined to possess the Three World-Opening Treasures. Unfortunately, the Chaos Bell's whereabouts are unknown. Does the Demon Emperor know where the Chaos Bell is?"

Did Taiyi not rename the Chaos Bell the Eastern Emperor Bell? Today, I, Primordial Heavenly Venerable, would pretend not to know they were the same thing and see how you dealt with this.

How could Dijun fail to realize that the Three Pure Ones were after the Chaos Bell? Yet he could not make this decision, so he could only turn his gaze toward Taiyi.

Naturally, Taiyi was unwilling to give up his companion spirit treasure. Leaving aside the fact that it was the foundation of his survival, if he handed over the Chaos Bell, he would be destined to become the laughingstock of the Primordial World.

Just as Taiyi hesitated, waves of golden light suddenly rose from the already collapsed Wuyi Mountain.

An Auspicious Cloud appeared above the golden light, spanning three thousand three hundred and thirty mu. Upon the flowers of the Auspicious Cloud, the Three Flowers swayed in the wind.

The Human Flower and Earth Flower had both already reached the ninth grade of blooming, with a treasure pearl floating above each flower.

The Heaven Flower began to bloom in the next moment. Within moments, it too reached the ninth grade of blooming. A crimson pearl also condensed above the Three Flowers.

Anyone with eyes could tell that Lu Xuan had broken through to the Zenith Heaven Peak Realm. Yet no one had expected this to be merely the beginning rather than the end.

In the next instant, a monkey manifested atop the Auspicious Cloud. It wielded an iron staff, swinging it with tremendous force.

The three pearls above the Three Flowers then transformed into the phantoms of three monkeys. Each held an iron staff, swinging them so densely that not even water could pass through.

In the end, the four monkeys fused into one, transforming into a demonic ape tens of thousands of zhang tall. It began frantically absorbing the power of the four spirits of earth, water, fire, and wind.

For a time, the spiritual energy within a million li surged toward Wuyi Mountain, eventually being absorbed into the demonic ape's body.

As it frantically absorbed innate spiritual energy, the demonic ape slowly opened its eyes. Its gaze fixed directly upon the heavens above.

At that moment, it slowly raised an arm and began employing the divine ability to seize the sun and moon and shrink a thousand mountains, madly absorbing the power of the stars.

Perhaps it had absorbed too quickly, or perhaps it had already exceeded its limit. In the next moment, the demonic ape's body instantly transformed into a cloud of blood mist.

For a time, heaven and earth fell utterly silent. Even time itself seemed to have stopped at that moment.

Nuwa had no idea what had happened, while Dijun and Taiyi feared that Lu Xuan had truly died. If so, there would no longer be any possibility of reconciliation between the Demon Race and the Three Pure Ones.

Yet the Three Pure Ones were incomparably excited, for they knew that the Heaven and Earth Mystical Technique had broken through to the seventh revolution and had begun reconstructing his body.

As for why everything had suddenly become calm, the reason was naturally that Lu Xuan had entered the Pangu World-Opening Map. After all, only within the Pangu World-Opening Map were there Great Dao laws.

Lu Xuan could clearly sense that during the process of breaking through to the seventh revolution and reconstructing his body, the Great Dao law merging into his body was actually the Great Dao Law of Time.

Among the three thousand laws, the most mysterious were undoubtedly time and fate. After all, among the three thousand Great Dao laws, only time and fate could evolve into rivers.
