Chapter 256 Purple Mountain Bell Rings
"God?"

"Emperor?"

"What emperor?"

Below the Wu Shi Taoist platform, the Blind Old Man Tian, ​​Ye Fan and Duan De all looked at the figure on the platform in horror, but different doubts arose in their hearts.

Because Li Zhi's words were too outrageous, they did not react immediately. Instead, they were pondering the meaning of those words.

Li Zhi, who was sitting in the vision of the Immortal King approaching the Ninth Heaven, was influenced by the Tao rhyme of the Great Emperor Wu Shi, as if he was really an emperor who came from outside the long river of time.

Under the observation of Duan De and others' divine eyes, they could clearly see a figure shrouded in a layer of sacred fairy light, sitting quietly on the Wu Shi Dao platform.

"The Great Emperor Wu Shi has resurrected, let's go." Duan De suddenly shouted in fear.

Ye Fan and Old Man Tianxia beside him also reacted and frantically input their magic power into the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Jar, as if they wanted to use the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Jar to open a safe evacuation route.

After seeing the reactions of the three of them, Li Zhi immediately realized that he had gone too far.

If people scare others, they can really scare them to death.

"Hey, don't go. I was just joking." Li Zhi hurriedly shouted at the three people who had turned around and were about to escape.

Upon hearing this, the three of them stopped immediately.

Ye Fan, who was wearing a saintly body, had the strongest defense among the three. He immediately stood up and asked, "Who are you?"

"It's me, Li Zhi." Li Zhi responded helplessly.

"What? It's you, you little brat. When did you get to the Taoist platform of Emperor Wu Shi? Do you know that you almost scared me to death just now?" Duan De angrily scolded Li Zhi on the Taoist platform.

"Haha, Uncle Duan, long time no see." Li Zhi said awkwardly, and then said to the three people below the stage: "Uncle Duan, Senior Tianxia, ​​Ye Fan, can you find a way to get me down?"

"You are trapped on this platform? How did you do it?" Duan De asked.

"It's hard to explain. I'll tell you when I go down." Li Zhi said helplessly. He didn't know how it turned out like this. Everything was fine when he came up.

Afterwards, the three people who were originally full of curiosity and respect for Wu Shi Dao Tai immediately experienced some changes in their senses.

When Ye Fan placed a snow-white and crystal skull and a crescent-shaped jade pendant on the Wu Shi Taoist platform, the chaotic waterfall covering the platform receded.

Li Zhi finally regained his freedom.

After stepping onto the Tao platform, Ye Fan sensed the powerful fluctuations of Li Zhi's magic power and asked in surprise, "Li Zhi, did you kill the Tao?"

Duan De looked Li Zhi up and down, and seeing the broken bones and remnants beside him, he said, "Little Li Zhi, how long have you been practicing here? Have you obtained the inheritance of the Great Emperor Wu Shi?"

The blind old man asked curiously, "Little friend Li, which way did you come in?"

Li Zhi did not answer them, but asked: "How did you find this place? You came just in time, otherwise I don't know how long I would be trapped here. I must go to the city of gods and treat you to one-stop service."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere on the stage instantly became harmonious.

Then, Duan De stared at Li Zhi fiercely and said, "Were you trying to scare me on purpose just now?"

Li Zhi smiled and said, "This is just a joke."

"Your joke is not funny at all. You almost scared me to death just now." Duan De said.

Afterwards, after observing the Wu Shi Dao Platform for a while, Ye Fan asked, "Li Zhi, you have been here longer than us, so do you know where the Wu Shi Emperor is?"

"He has ascended to heaven." Li Zhi pointed at the Taoist robes left on the ground after the Great Emperor Wu Shi ascended to heaven.

When Emperor Wu Shi was about to die, he must have used a method to transform into an immortal. His old body was shed and transformed directly on the Taoist platform, generating a supreme power that could connect the two worlds. Then, the immortal fetus that was transformed directly entered the strange world on the road to becoming an immortal.

Perhaps, this is also the reason why the Emperor felt the earth-shaking scene when the Great Emperor Wu Shi "passed away".

Li Zhi also deduced the "truth" based on his previous enlightenment.

Ancient Emperor Mountain is worthy of being the place chosen by the Immortal Emperor to ascend to heaven. It has allowed two supreme figures to enter that strange world with a small amount of immortal matter.

"Brat, it seems that you have figured out a lot of truths, even the life and death of Emperor Wu Shi." Duan De said.

"I'm just guessing. I'm not sure whether it's true or not." Li Zhi told the truth.

Then, they carefully observed and studied it on the Wu Shi Dao Platform.

And no "truth" was discovered about the Great Emperor Wu Shi.

Everyone walked down the Wu Shi Dao Platform directly. However, there were many medicinal kings growing around the Wu Shi Dao Platform. Duan De and the others took action one after another and picked thirteen real medicinal kings nearby. Li Zhi was amazed by this scene.

When the Fighting Saint Buddha came here with the Infinite Emperor Jade to pick the Medicine King, Gu Tianshu jumped out and fought a big battle with the monkey. After he was defeated, he allowed the Fighting Saint King to take away three Medicine Kings.

However, Duan De and his companions picked thirteen medicinal herbs here in succession, but there was no sign of Gu Tianshu.

Could it be because of the Wu Shi Emperor Jade?

Looking at the pieces of imperial jade above Ye Fan's head, Li Zhi was curious about Ye Fan's fate.

There were six pieces of the Emperor's Jade that were extremely difficult for others to collect.

It seemed as if the Great Emperor Wu Shi had already predicted the coming of the Holy Body in the future. He even calculated the time for the Taoist Embryo and the Holy Body to coexist in one lifetime.

It’s a pity that feelings are something that cannot be forced.

Ye Fan and the Saintess of Zifu did not give birth to an innate holy body that could allow the Great Emperor Wu Shi's fighting body to completely descend.

Of course, it is also possible that the Black Emperor is not very reliable and did not truly regard the words of the Emperor Wu Shi as a glorious mission to be completed.

Otherwise, with Black Emperor's moral integrity, he would most likely kidnap the Saint of Purple Mansion and drug Ye Fan, forcing them to give birth to a congenital holy body fetus.

In those days, Li Zhi also specially collected the Wu Shi Emperor Jade.

But after collecting for a long time, he didn't find any clues about the Wu Shi Emperor Jade, so he gave up.

Now it seems that the cause and effect that Ye Fan bears are indeed not the cause and effect that an ordinary holy body should have.

After the four left the area where the Wu Shi Dao Tai was located, they immediately encountered a group of ancient corpses blocking their way.

It seems like he wants to snatch the King of Medicine from them.

Fortunately, the Heaven-Devouring Demon Pot paved the way for them, allowing them to successfully return to the hall where the "Beginningless Sutra" was stored.

"You guys go ahead. I want to stay."

After entering the hall, seeing a group of ancient corpses transformed from the Immortal Emperor's subordinates rushing towards him, Ye Fan stuffed a piece of imperial jade into the stone trough on the "Beginningless Sutra", and then said to everyone with a determined look on his face.

"Ye Fan, why do you want to stay? Those old ghosts are subordinates of the Immortal Emperor. They are extremely powerful. You will surely die if you stay here. Come with us quickly." The old blind man urged worriedly.

"There is no way. The ancient tribes are about to come into the world. Without the power to intimidate them, an unprecedented dark turmoil is bound to come." Ye Fan directly stated his purpose of entering Zishan.

"What do you want to do?" Duan De asked Ye Fan curiously.

"Zishan is my first stop. I will let the Wushi Bell ring for three consecutive months to shock all the ancient races and make them doubt the life and death of Emperor Wushi." A firm look flashed in Ye Fan's eyes, as if his determination could not be changed.

“Are you crazy? Not to mention ringing for three months in a row, even if the Eternal Bell rings three times in a row, you will be turned into ashes. Even the holy shell cannot block the waves of the Eternal Bell.” The blind old man said excitedly.

"I have a way to block it, you guys hurry up." Ye Fan urged, then pressed a piece of imperial jade into the groove. The stone scripture immediately burst out a curtain of light, cutting through the void.

"Xiao Ye Zi, you really did not live up to the responsibility of the Holy Body lineage. You made the same choice as the predecessors of the Holy Body lineage and embarked on the path of fighting for all living beings. I, your brother Li, support you." Li Zhi said with emotion after seeing this scene.

Then he took out a magic talisman, handed it to Ye Fan and said, "This magic talisman can turn all attacks into invisible. Even the attack of a saint can be dispelled once. Take it for protection." "If you dare to stay, we will not have the face to leave if we don't do something." The blind old man seemed to feel Ye Fan's emotions, and was determined to keep the Heaven-Devouring Demon Pot.

Duan De, who was standing by, was annoyed by the performance of the blind old man and Li Zhi, and finally said, "Damn it, Ye boy, you better hold on. I don't want to come and dig up your grave in three months."

They even left nine of the thirteen medicinal herbs they had just dug out to Ye Fan, allowing him to use them to prolong his life.

Afterwards, there was a flash of light on the Sutra of the Beginningless, and Duan De, the Blind Old Man, and Li Zhi disappeared directly into the Purple Mountain.

After leaving Zishan, Old Man Tianxia parted ways with Duan De and Li Zhi.

Duan De and Li Zhi came to an abandoned stone fort nearby to reminisce about the past.

"Uncle Duan, I'm going to survive this disaster first, and we'll talk about the past later."

After arriving at the stone fort, Li Zhi suddenly felt as if he was being targeted by a heavenly calamity.

Then it turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the stone village.

Half a day later, after surviving a horrific thunder disaster, he returned to the stone village.

But when Li Zhi returned to Shizhai, he was dumbfounded. There was another Ye Fan next to Duan De.

Seeing that there was no fluctuation of the spirit in Ye Fan's body, Li Zhi understood that Duan De had dug out Ye Fan's body hidden outside.

I have to say that Duan De's methods are indeed extraordinary.

Li Zhi said speechlessly: "Uncle Duan, this is a bit unkind of you, isn't it? Ye Fan was fighting for his life in the Purple Mountain, but you dug out his body."

"What do you know, kid? This is called mortgaging one's body. That stinky kid named Ye has a hard time dying with the Heaven Devouring Demon Jar. Even if the Beginningless Bell is revived, he can't die as long as he hides in the Heaven Devouring Demon Jar. Don't be fooled by the kid's heroic appearance. He is actually cunning in his heart. If I don't take his body away, that kid will definitely think of embezzling the Heaven Devouring Demon Jar. This is not the first time that kid has teamed up with others to snatch my treasure."

When it comes to Ye Fan, Duan De feels a little indignant.

Afterwards, the two chatted for a while, and Li Zhi suddenly asked: "Uncle Duan, now that the ancient tribes in the Northern Territory have gradually revived, chaos is about to occur. Aren't you worried that they will start a dark turmoil?"

Duan De laughed and said, "Master Dao, I have nothing to worry about. I am not the head of a big sect, nor the sage of an ancient family, nor a respected saint. I don't need to worry about the people of the world. Only young people like Ye who are full of youthful vigor would worry about this and that. Besides, are those ancient creatures qualified to start a dark turmoil? You don't seem to be worried about the revival of those ancient races, do you know something?"

Duan Deyuan, who has been digging graves for many years, knows better than most cultivators how strong the Beidou human race is.

As long as it is not the dark turmoil launched by the Forbidden Zone of Life, the wars launched by the ancient tribes can at best be regarded as larger-scale racial wars.

Since it is a racial war, it is not something that can be reversed by one or a few people.

This requires the concerted efforts of all major human forces.

If one wants to get all the major forces of the human race to work together, it will not work if someone without a certain status and position comes forward.

No one from the younger generation is capable of taking on such an important task. At the very least, it would have to be a saint of the level of the God King Jiang Taixu.

Li Zhi naturally knew the secret behind this, so he said with a smile: "I don't need to worry about them. After all, I now have another identity, that is, the ancient prince of the Golden Dragon Emperor. When those ancient creatures see me, it is no different from seeing the ancient princes of the ancient royal family."

"There is such a thing. Tell me quickly, how did you do it?" Duan De asked curiously.

Afterwards, Li Zhi told Duan De how he transformed himself into a golden dragon and pretended to be the prince of the Golden Dragon Emperor.

Duan De laughed loudly after hearing this, and then said: "Then I will make your identity as the prince of the Golden Dragon Emperor more realistic."

Afterwards, Duan De took out an extremely ancient and even somewhat rusty ancient imperial order and gave it to Li Zhi.

"Uncle Duan, you actually have such a treasure in your hand." Li Zhi looked at the ancient imperial order with some surprise.

"It's nothing. Not long ago, I dug up a tomb from the ancient times and dug out two ancient imperial orders from it. There happens to be a dragon on this ancient imperial order. You can just use it." Duan De said very generously.

Li Zhi took the Ancient Emperor Order without any hesitation, and then said to Duan De: "Uncle Duan, please come to my dojo for tea when you have time."

Duan De shook his head and said, "Your cultivation has now caught up with me, the Taoist priest. I will not go to your place to cause trouble."

Then he said, "Next, I will let Ye show his face in front of the ancient tribes. Do you want to join us?"

Li Zhi shook his head and said, "I plan to stay here to comprehend the Purple Mountain. After the Beginningless Bell rings, the inner Dao rhyme of the Purple Mountain should be stimulated to some extent. I think as long as I can comprehend some of the Dao rhyme hidden in the Purple Mountain, it will be of great help to my practice."

Duan De said in amazement: "You have already reached the stage of learning from heaven and earth on the road of the great Dao. Work hard and strive to become a saint as soon as possible. I will not disturb your practice."

After parting with Duan De, Li Zhi returned to the foot of Zishan Mountain.

Then he sat there waiting for the sound of the Eternal Bell in the Purple Mountain.

After waiting for a whole night, Ye Fan, who stayed in Zishan, finally rang the Wushi Bell.

"when……"

After Zhong Bo rushed out of Zishan, he immediately turned into the sound of heaven and spread in all directions.

Although the sound of the bell contained supreme majesty, it did not have much killing power.

On the contrary, after listening to the sound of the bell, people feel like they want to attain enlightenment.

"when!"

"when!"

When the bells rang one after another, Li Zhi felt that the entire Zishan Mountain seemed to come alive.

Then he carefully came to the Purple Mountain and touched the mountain with his hand. After finding that there was no danger, he climbed to the top of the Purple Mountain and sat on the top to begin to attain enlightenment.

Li Zhi even temporarily merged with the "Immortal King" in the Immortal King Lin Jiutian, trying to resonate with the sound of the Beginningless Bell.

In this way, one can comprehend the path to immortality that he has cultivated.

The immortal path that has withstood the test of time is the truly immortal path.

One month, two months, and finally at the beginning of the third month, Li Zhi resonated with the heavenly sound of the Tao emitted by the Wu Shi Bell.

In an instant, the great Dao he had cultivated was almost shattered by the supreme sound of Dao.

But after exerting all his strength, Li Zhi finally persevered.

Then, the great principles he realized became more solid under the repeated baptism of the bell's vibrations.

Li Zhi, who was outside the Purple Mountain, had this kind of gain, and Ye Fan, who was ringing the bell inside the Purple Mountain, had an even greater gain.

These three months of bell-ringing career laid a solid foundation for Ye Fan to be able to reverse the Great Dao in the future.

There is the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Pot inside to protect the primordial spirit, and there is the sound of the Eternal Bell outside to cleanse the foundation of the Dao. Before the Dao is cut off, this kind of operation to consolidate the foundation of the Dao is a rare and supreme opportunity that is not even possible for the descendants of the ancient emperor.

Not to mention Ye Fan’s gains, Li Zhi’s cultivation level also improved rapidly during this process.

His cultivation level quickly improved from the early stage of the fourth level of the King to the middle stage of the fourth level of the King, and then continued to move towards the late stage.

After reaching the King level of cultivation, the time required to advance to a higher level begins to be calculated in years, and even the ancient emperor’s own children are no exception.

But now, Li Zhi seized this opportunity, which directly saved him several years of hard practice.

The moment the bell stopped ringing, Li Zhi's figure disappeared from the top of Purple Mountain.

When he reappeared, he had already returned to the dojo located on the edge of the ancient restricted area in the Southern Territory.

Then Li Zhi sat on the Taoist platform and went into seclusion.
