Chaos Dao Sheng Jue

Chapter 1494 The Holy Son and the Rules

"It is said that this Taixu Bell contains a powerful force that can reverse the universe and invert yin and yang, and is the natal magic weapon of the ancient god Kanghui Shengdi."

"Could this be the ruins of Emperor Kanghui? Then isn't this mountain the ancient Buzhou Mountain?" At this moment, another elder at the Dao Integration Realm deduced in shock.

"What? This is actually Buzhou Mountain, which has been missing for many years. It is said that after the War of the Gods, many famous immortal mountains and Daoist temples disappeared into thin air. Doesn't that mean that the jade slip containing the map of the ancient secret realm that the Youqiong clan is rumored to possess is true?" Another cultivator exclaimed in surprise.

As soon as these words were spoken, a murmur arose among the crowd. Everyone was discussing some rumors about ancient times, and considering the current situation, those rumors seemed to have been verified.

In an instant, everyone's gaze became even more intense, clearly drawn to these legends.

However, amidst the commotion, a figure suddenly spoke up:

"Everyone, I am Zeng Zhixing, the Holy Son of the Yanwu Holy Sect. Please hear me out."

His words, amplified by divine energy, were clearly heard by everyone, and upon hearing the name Yanwu Holy Sect, the crowd fell silent.

The Yanwu Holy Sect is one of the most renowned sects in the Shenwen Domain, and its status and strength are beyond doubt.

At this moment, Zeng Zhixing's voice resounded throughout the secret realm like a booming bell, drawing everyone's attention to him.

Zeng Zhixing looked around and, seeing that everyone had fallen silent, continued, "I have just done a general survey, and it seems that apart from this Taixu Bell, there are no other treasures in this secret realm."

However, with so many people here, such a treasure should logically belong to the capable.

However, if a fight breaks out, with the combined strength of the fifteen Dao Integration Realm experts present, this place certainly cannot withstand the residual force of their battle. I believe everyone is well aware of the severity of the consequences.

At this point, Zeng Zhixing deliberately paused, giving everyone time to process the information.

A murmur of discussion immediately arose at the scene. Some agreed with Zeng Zhixing's point of view, believing that unnecessary fighting should be avoided; others had doubts and were worried that their own interests would be harmed.

“Zeng Shengzi is right. The space in this secret realm is not stable. If we really start fighting, it may cause this world to collapse. At that time, it is still uncertain whether everyone can get out alive.”

We cannot allow a single treasure to destroy this land, and potentially even affect the outside world; wouldn't that be a terrible loss?

An elderly man in a blue robe spoke in a deep voice. He was an elder of the Dan Dao Sacred Sect, whose cultivation had reached the Dao Integration Realm and whose knowledge was extraordinary.

“That’s right,” another burly man chimed in. “While the Taixu Bell is a rare opportunity, it would be unwise to put everyone in danger because of the struggle for it.”

"Then what can we do? There's only one Taixu Bell. In the end, aren't you all just afraid that you won't get any benefits? And you're worried that someone else will get it."

"Now that we're here, who wouldn't want the Void Bell? Instead of discussing it here, let's see who has the stronger fist." Another cultivator said, sounding somewhat impatient.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a cultivator retorted:

“That being said, we also need to consider the actual situation. Haven’t you noticed the surrounding environment? This place is clearly already overburdened. If we start fighting here again, the entire secret realm may collapse.”

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions turned serious. Indeed, every corner of the secret realm exuded a sense of fragility, as if the slightest carelessness could lead to catastrophic consequences.

"Everyone, please be patient."

Seeing this, Zeng Zhixing seized the opportunity to offer his own suggestions:

"I believe that we can adopt a fairer approach to decide the ownership of the Taixu Bell."

Have you noticed that there are actually powerful restrictions surrounding the Taixu Bell? These restrictions are specifically designed to counter the strength of cultivators.

The higher one's cultivation level, the stronger the backlash when touching a restriction, and vice versa.

"Oh... I understand. May I ask, Holy Son Zeng, are you saying that to obtain the Tai Xu Bell, we must break the restrictions, and the safest way is for us cultivators at the Dao Cultivation Realm to go and seize it?"

In this way, there's no need to worry about anyone being harmed by the restrictions, and even if a fight breaks out, the seniors can control the situation and protect this world from being affected.

A cultivator in the Cultivation Realm among the crowd suddenly realized something and chimed in.

Zeng Zhixing wasn't annoyed at being interrupted; instead, he gave the other person an appreciative look and continued:

"This fellow Daoist is only half right. Seniors, please don't forget that the Taixu Bell is an extremely sacred artifact with a spirit inside. To obtain the Taixu Bell, you need to gain the spirit's approval."

Therefore, my suggestion is to divide the cultivators below the Transformation Realm present into groups of twenty and take turns obtaining the Taixu Bell. In this way, each group member will not only be tested by the restrictions but also be selected by the spirit of the Taixu Bell, and ultimately the most capable person will obtain it.

This would not only effectively avoid casualties but also fairly determine the ownership of the Great Void Bell.

These words immediately caused a stir in the room, with countless discussions following.

"Zeng Shengzi's idea is really good. This way I can contribute to the sect, and I believe the sect elders will definitely give me a generous reward." A cultivator at the Cultivation Realm in the crowd said eagerly.

“That’s right. If that’s the case, then as a rogue cultivator, wouldn’t I also have a chance to obtain the Tai Xu Bell?” Another rogue cultivator at the Transformation Realm said excitedly from the crowd.

But no sooner had he finished speaking than a cultivator retorted:

"What are you thinking? Even if you get the Taixu Bell, do you think those Dao Integration Realm experts will let you have your way? You might not even be alive to leave then."

So, don't get your hopes up. We're not even qualified to participate in this kind of game. Do you understand?

Upon hearing this, the latter's face turned pale instantly. He wasn't stupid and naturally understood the deeper meaning, so he shook his head helplessly.

Lu Chen looked at Zeng Zhixing and thought to himself, "This Zeng Zhixing is really something. Even I couldn't see that the restriction was targeted at a cultivator's cultivation level, but he was able to."

Could it be that he has some special advantage? Otherwise, this method, while seemingly fair, is actually rife with shady dealings. But it's fine this way; at least I have a chance to participate.

At this moment, amidst the various opinions, although some people objected, most cultivators, after weighing the pros and cons, still agreed with Zeng Zhixing's suggestion.

Seeing this, Zeng Zhixing smiled slightly and continued, "Everyone, in order to ensure fairness, two elders of my Yanwu Sect will serve as referees along with other seniors at the Dao Integration Realm to ensure the impartiality of the entire process."

Furthermore, regardless of who ultimately obtains the Great Void Bell, no one else may use force to coerce the other into handing it over; otherwise, my Yanwu Sect will be the first to object.
