Chapter 234: Ancient Bell Fragments, Critical Hit Return

Xu Yang led his men into the ancient cave. He kept his attention on Yaoyao. If there was any possible danger, he would take action immediately.

The cave was extremely spacious, with many array patterns carved around it, but they had already decayed and had lost their divine power and luster. After years of erosion, the array had long since lost its function.

Looking around, there are many boxes storing treasures, but they have become like the array patterns, dust to dust, earth to earth, turned into dust, it looks so pity!

"The array pattern here looks particularly terrifying. If it was a hundred thousand years ago, it would not be so easy to enter. If you are not careful, the array pattern will be activated and you will be wiped out by the endless killing energy!"

Xu Yang thought to himself that he had mastered the third killing formation and was well versed in formations. Therefore, even if the formation patterns on the stone wall of the cave had lost their power, he could still see how powerful they were. These patterns must have been engraved by a strong man above the Mahayana realm, because even he felt a little nervous.

"Brother Xu, I feel that this place is not simple. The person buried in this cave is very likely an Immortal Emperor!"

Tushan Xinya has a good eye, and as Tushan's chief steward, she has come into contact with many things left behind by the fox ancestors. The residual aura on these array patterns is much stronger than that of the ancestors.

In the ancient times, the Heavenly Dao had never been tainted by dust, and all flowers bloomed. Every race had strong people in the Tribulation Realm who could prove their Dao and become immortals. Unlike in recent times, the Heavenly Dao was partial and only allowed one person to break through the Tribulation Realm. Since the others could not set foot in the Tribulation Realm, the person who was lucky enough to reach the Tribulation Realm could naturally prove his Dao and become an immortal because he was the only one on the road to becoming an immortal!

She had heard a secret story that the ancestor of the Ji family was supposed to be the only one to cross the tribulation realm, but in the end, for some reason, he gave up, which allowed the person who had always been competing with him to take advantage of the opportunity...

She didn't know whether this secret was true or not, she just heard it from others!

Of course, she was skeptical about this, because no one in this world could resist the temptation of becoming an immortal!

"Xinya, you are right."

Xu Yang agreed.

Situ Qingqing and Ruan Yuer were shocked. They didn't expect that an Immortal Emperor was buried in this ancient cave. The body of the Immortal Emperor would remain unchanged for eternity. If they could obtain the body of the Immortal Emperor and hand it over to their master, and let their master refine it into a magical weapon, then their master's combat power would be greatly improved.

Thinking of this, the two said in unison:

"Master, I'll go explore the way first!"

"Go ahead."

Xu Yang placed a wisp of energy on each of his two disciples to protect them.

After getting permission, Situ Qingqing and Ruan Yuer immediately split up to search for the Immortal Emperor's body.

As the two of them left.

Only Xu Yang and Tushan Xinya were left there.

The sudden opportunity to be alone with Brother Xu made Tushan Xinya's heart beat so fast that it felt like it was about to jump out, and the blush spread to the roots of her ears.

"Yaoyao is not far ahead, let's follow her!"

Xu Yang said gently.

"Um."

Tushan Xinya nodded slightly and agreed, taking a deep breath secretly, trying not to look so shy. After all, they were just alone and not doing anything else, so there was no need to panic.

Xu Yang walked in front, and Tushan Xinya followed closely behind him. In front of Xu Yang, she no longer looked like Tushan's housekeeper, but instead looked like a willow swaying by the bank, a weak woman...

The two left not long ago.

The cave no longer showed any signs of decay, and was filled with blooming rays of light everywhere. Various spiritual creatures from heaven and earth were absorbing and exhaling spiritual energy, swaying with brilliance. There were also various strange stones inlaid on the cave walls as decorations. These strange stones were also very unusual, and some could even be used as materials for making magical weapons.

Xu Yang took away some precious and rare spiritual objects and strange stones and placed them in the system space.

Tushan Xinya behind him was also not idle. Like Xu Yang, she was taking precious spiritual objects from heaven and earth.

The two of them took the things while walking deeper into the cave.

Not long after.

A pretty figure returned from the depths of the cave.

She rushed to Xu Yang breathlessly, handed him a piece of bronze fragment, and said:

"Master, look at this thing. Yaoyao can't tell whether it is real or fake. It must be a good treasure. I'll give it to you. And these are all collected by Yaoyao!"

Tushan Yaoyao also gave Xu Yang a storage ring.

Before Xu Yang could check the bronze fragment, the system that had been silent in his mind for a long time finally made a dinging sound.

[Ding! Tushan Yaoyao gives the host a Donghuang Bell fragment*1, triggering a 10,000-fold critical hit return—the ancient treasure Donghuang Bell! ]

[Trigger additional reward: Donghuang Killing Technique*1]

Donghuang Bell: It was forged by Donghuang Taiyi, the lord of the ancient demon court. It is one of the ten greatest treasures of the demon clan. Donghuang Taiyi used this bell to kill countless powerful enemies, and it was once stained with immortal blood!

Donghuang's Killing Technique: The Lord of the Demon Court, an existence close to Taoism, the techniques he created cannot be compared with ordinary ancient techniques!

"Donghuang Bell..."

Xu Yang didn't have time to be shocked.

The jingling sound continued to be heard in my ears.

[Ding! Tushan Yaoyao gives the host the Ancient Milk of All Things*1, triggering a hundredfold critical hit return—the spiritual object of heaven and earth, the root of all things! ]

[Ding! Tushan Yaoyao gives the host a Holy Meteorite Pill*1, triggering a thousand-fold critical hit return—Seven-Colored Immortal Meteorite Pill! ]

[Ding! Tushan Yaoyao gives the host Ancient Demon Armor*1, triggering a thousand times critical hit return—Fairy Armor! ]

…

Dozens of system prompt sounds rang continuously in Xu Yang's mind, making him feel both painful and happy.

"My goodness, is this considered a gradual process?"

After a long while, the system prompt sound stopped. Xu Yang glanced at the system space. While sighing, he was surprised to find that the small tower was actually suppressing the Donghuang Bell. It was like an enemy meeting, and they were extremely jealous of each other. This surprised him greatly.

Because in his memory, the small tower and the Donghuang Bell are not from the same era. The two treasures are at least hundreds of thousands of years apart!

So why did they start fighting as soon as they met?

As the host, Xu Yang would naturally not watch the two treasures that belonged to him fighting each other, so he pulled the two treasures apart.

Because the system space is vast and boundless.

So Xu Yang placed the two treasures far away, so far that they could no longer fight.

The little tower seemed to be very angry because it could not beat its enemy. The tower was covered with chaotic energy and was devouring the treasures around it. There were creaking sounds, as if it was venting its emotions.

The Donghuang Bell was not willing to be outdone. The bell body shook and a majestic bell sounded, containing infinite power, turning all the treasures around it into dust. Rays of spirits turned into flying lights and rushed towards it. It accepted all the lights and integrated all the flying lights into itself. The originally dim bell body suddenly became bright. The patterns and ancient patterns carved on it were clearly visible and lifelike, as if they were about to fly out. It looked like it was provoking the small tower.

The small tower would naturally not retreat, and it also shone brightly, confronting the Donghuang Bell...

The Yuanci Earth's core in the corner was trembling. It couldn't afford to offend either of the two big guys, nor did it dare to offend either of them...

It is clearly just an earth-level spiritual weapon, why is it subjected to such great pressure? It feels like it is about to suffocate to death as a weapon spirit...

When Xu Yang saw this scene, he did not feel sorry for the treasures. On the contrary, he would not feel sorry even if he refined all of them. As long as these two treasures did not fight with each other, the rest was fine.

at this time.

Tushan Xinya looked at the bronze fragment in Xu Yang's hand with curiosity. Although she didn't recognize this thing, she knew that it must have an extraordinary origin. It might be the fragment of a shattered divine weapon.

Xu Yang collected his thoughts, noticed Tushan Xinya's gaze, and explained considerately:

"Xinya, this is a fragment of the Donghuang Bell. Yaoyao has really found a treasure this time!"

"Donghuang Bell?!"

Tushan Xinya's eyes sparkled, she covered her mouth and exclaimed.

The Donghuang Bell is very famous. It comes from Donghuang Taiyi, the lord of the Demon Court. Almost all demons know it, and even today, there are still many demons worshipping Donghuang Taiyi.

I didn't expect that the piece of debris that Yaoyao picked up casually was actually a fragment of the Donghuang Bell. Yaoyao is really lucky!

Is this the reason why Yaoyao got lost?

"Congratulations, Brother Xu. Back then, the leader of the demon clan, Donghuang Taiyi, collected tens of thousands of kinds of divine gold to build the Donghuang Bell. So even the fragments are priceless treasures and can be used as the main material for divine weapons. Maybe they can even bring out some of the power of the Donghuang Bell!"

Tushan Xinya said a little excitedly.

Since the collapse of the Demon Court, the Donghuang Bell disappeared along with Donghuang Taiyi, and it has been millions of years. Almost all demons believe that the Donghuang Bell was buried in a tomb by Donghuang Taiyi as a burial object. Many demons tried to find the tomb, but could not find any trace. Unexpectedly, today, fragments of the Donghuang Bell were found in this cave. So is it possible that this cave is the burial place of Donghuang Taiyi?

Tushan Xinya was speculating.

"Thank you so much, Yaoyao."

Xu Yang put the fragment into the system space, and ignored the two treasures fighting for the fragment. He looked at Tushan Xinya and said with a spring breeze:

"Hurry up, many treasures have been looted by Yaoyao, there is no point for us to stay here any longer!"

Tushan Xinya nodded and said:

"Brother Xu, that makes sense. Let's catch up with Yaoyao first!"

She was not jealous that Yaoyao gave all the treasures to her master. After all, this girl even wanted to give her to her master, saying that it would strengthen the relationship between them.

When there is no one around, she will grab Yaoyao's ears and give him a good lesson!

The two of them walked quickly and caught up with Tushan Yaoyao quickly. Situ Qingqing and Ruan Yuer, who had acted separately, also gathered together. When they saw their master catching up, they handed the treasures they had collected to Xu Yang.

[Ding! Situ Qingqing gives the host Yuelu Jade Platform*1, triggering a hundred times critical hit return - Taishan Stone Mirror! ]

[Ding! Ruan Yuer presents the host with a Phoenix Branch*1, a spiritual object of heaven and earth, triggering a thousand-fold critical hit return—Golden Feathered Scarlet Phoenix Essence Blood! ]

…

Xu Yang heard a series of system prompts, and captured several useful messages, such as the Golden-Feathered Red Phoenix Essence Blood, which could be used to practice the Nine Transformations of the Heavenly Demon. Then he unilaterally blocked the system prompts, because there were too many returned, and most of them were useless to him. He decided to wait until he returned to Ziyun Peak, then pick out these treasures and give them to his own disciple!

His cultivation level improved too quickly, and his disciples could not keep up. Now, except for the eldest disciple Xuan'er who can barely hold on, the rest of the disciples are all useless and weak. They can be said to be vulnerable to any attack, including Xiao Hongluan.
