As he was eager to try, his fighting spirit grew stronger and stronger, wishing he could fight immediately.
"No! The situation in Xiqi City is unusual, and this army is not simple!" Yuan Hong said in a deep voice.
His expression had already become solemn; the grand scene in Xiqi City had not yet dissipated, which was an unusual sign.
More importantly, this army was vastly different from the West Qi army he had seen before.
The weapons in the soldiers' hands were very unusual; with his strength, it was not difficult for him to see that they were clearly crafted Magic Treasures.
To arm a human army with Magic Treasures, even the current Great Shang could not be so extravagant.
This current army also could not have every soldier possess a Magic Treasure, but the prevalence of Magic Treasures had reached as much as half.
This was already quite terrifying; in the midst of human army battles, the role a Magic Treasure could play was simply too great.
Moreover, it was not just the magic treasures; this army itself was not simple, the aura emanating from those soldiers was too strong.
Compared to a Profound Immortal like him, those soldiers were naturally insignificant, but compared to ordinary human soldiers, they were vastly different.
In his opinion, most of the soldiers in this army were far stronger than ordinary human soldiers, and many were even just one step away from becoming Immortals.
This was somewhat terrifying; the army he commanded did not possess such strength, and in fact, was far from it.
It was no exaggeration to say that if he and Nezha were not counted, a direct confrontation between the two armies would be a one-sided slaughter.
The army he commanded would be the target of the slaughter, and it absolutely could not last for too long.
Moreover, it was obvious that since West Qi had adopted such an all-out stance, how could they not have considered him and Nezha?
It was certain that when the two armies engaged, strong individuals from West Qi would definitely step forward to block him and Nezha.
In other words, when this West Qi army appeared, his defeat was already sealed.
Retreat! Retreat quickly! Only by doing so could he preserve as much of his effective strength as possible, rather than being completely annihilated.
But he also knew very well that West Qi had been planning for a full year, and now that their intentions were revealed, how could they give him a chance to retreat?
"You quickly return to Chaoge and report the situation here to the Great King, asking him to make a decision as soon as possible!" Yuan Hong said in a deep voice.
These words were spoken to Nezha; upon realizing the current situation, he immediately sensed the danger.
Even if he died in battle, even if the entire army was annihilated, it was not the most serious matter.
West Qi suddenly possessed such an army and publicly declared to Heaven and Earth that they would launch an attack on Shang, which was the more important matter.
This undoubtedly showed that after a year of preparation, West Qi had somehow accumulated terrifying power and even had the confidence to attack Shang.
The news must be reported to the Great King as soon as possible, giving him a chance to prepare in advance, because what followed was likely to be a world-shaking event.
"I'm not leaving! The great battle is about to begin, how can I desert at this time!" Nezha said in a deep voice.
He was not truly ignorant and fearless; after hearing Yuan Hong's words just now, he had already realized the seriousness of the situation.
But precisely because of this, he knew what it meant for Yuan Hong to stay here and let him return to Great Shang.
This meant that Yuan Hong was giving him a chance to live, staying behind to cover the retreat; Yuan Hong's fate was already self-evident.
"This is not the time for impulsive actions; if the message cannot be sent back in time, you should know how serious the consequences will be!"
Yuan Hong's expression was very serious; he wasn't leaving simply because he was the army's commander, and there was no reason for a commander to abandon his army and flee.
Since the Great King trusted him so much and allowed him to lead the army, he could not betray the Great King's trust under any circumstances.
However, the various changes in West Qi and the news of that army's appearance needed to be sent back quickly, making Nezha the most suitable person.
"You don't need to waste your efforts; leaving is impossible; today, your deaths will toll the death knell for the Great Shang's demise!"
At this moment, a cold voice rang out, and Guang Chengzi and others appeared in mid-air, coldly looking at Yuan Hong and Nezha.
They had prepared for a full year, transforming West Qi into an Immortal Kingdom and cultivating an invincible army.
This all-out mobilization was to first target Yuan Hong's army and achieve a victorious start to the Investiture of the Gods.
In their view, this would be the beginning of the Great Shang and King Zhou's demise, and this battle naturally could not afford to fail.
Because of this, they had actually been watching Yuan Hong and Nezha for a long time, so how could they give Yuan Hong and Nezha a chance to escape?
This time, they intended to completely swallow Yuan Hong's army, and then, with lightning speed, directly attack Shang.
With their current strength, they would surely advance triumphantly, and by the time King Zhou reacted, it would already be too late.
If they could occupy half of the country, the Great Shang's destiny would surely weaken, and then their Opportunity would truly arrive.
At this moment, Yuan Hong and Nezha both had solemn expressions; they knew how serious the matter was.
West Qi had accumulated strength for a full year, and now that they were suddenly launching their attack, they must have planned everything thoroughly, giving them no chance whatsoever.
But to make them surrender was naturally impossible; at most, it was just death.
Their only regret, perhaps, was not being able to send the news back earlier, allowing the Great King enough time to respond to West Qi's changes.
Yuan Hong and Nezha naturally did not know that as long as it was within the Great Shang territory, nothing could actually escape King Zhou's eyes.
The Great Shang had already become his domain; not to mention knowing everything, even changing Heaven and Earth was not difficult.
King Zhou had long known what Guang Chengzi and others had been doing in West Qi for a year and what their goals were.
The reason he had remained inactive was merely to buy time for the Great Shang's development, not because he was truly indifferent to it.
And no matter what Guang Chengzi wanted to do, or what changes West Qi underwent, it actually didn't matter; it was only a matter of time.
It was simply a matter of meeting challenges as they arose; West Qi had its plans, and he had his countermeasures.
However, what Yuan Hong and Nezha did not know was that King Zhou was not in Chaoge at this time, nor even in this world.
Chapter 187: Heading to Chaos, the Lord of Heaven's Purpose!
A year ago, the Saint Lord of Heaven had personally said that if King Zhou had time a year later, he could visit Biyou Palace.
A year later, King Zhou gladly accepted the invitation, arriving alone at Biyou Palace to meet the Lord of Heaven.
"I thought you wouldn't come, but I didn't expect you to come after all!" The Lord of Heaven said with a smile.
It was currently the period of Investiture of the Gods; although West Qi had been silent for a year, everyone knew that a great battle was about to erupt.
Moreover, the Chan Sect, Western Religion, and the Heavenly Court had already joined forces; the longer they remained silent, the greater their schemes must be.
At such a critical moment, King Zhou should have been stationed in Chaoge to guard against a sudden attack from West Qi.
But King Zhou still arrived as promised; from this single action, he could discern King Zhou's confidence.
"Mere West Qi is but a minor ailment; no matter how much those petty clowns jump around, it's difficult for them to overturn the heavens!" King Zhou said with a smile.
The Lord of Heaven guessed correctly; he was indeed full of confidence and did not take the people of West Qi seriously.
In fact, given the current situation of the Great Shang, the only thing he feared was a battle between Saints, not the people in West Qi.
As he said, they were just a bunch of petty clowns; no matter how much they jumped around, it was difficult for them to stir up trouble.
Furthermore, since he dared to come to Biyou Palace for the appointment, he had naturally arranged everything beforehand and was not afraid that West Qi would suddenly attack at this time.
"Since you are so confident, I won't say much more; let's go to Chaos together!" The Lord of Heaven said.
He had long decided to stake the future fate of the Jie Sect on King Zhou, and he no longer had any doubts about King Zhou.
Moreover, judging by King Zhou's past actions, no matter who it was, they would surely be full of confidence in King Zhou.
Furthermore, compared to West Qi, the matter he was about to undertake this time was also very important, even more important than West Qi.
King Zhou did not ask much, leaving everything to the arrangement of the Saint, the Lord of Heaven, and journeyed all the way to Chaos.
The so-called Chaos was actually the world outside the Honghuang Heaven and Earth; here, there was no distinction between east, west, north, and south, a chaotic expanse, boundless and without end.
According to legend, Pangu Great God was born in Chaos, embodying the Great Dao, and only emerged after countless years of gestation.
Because Pangu Great God opened up Heaven and Earth, the Honghuang Heaven and Earth came into being, which was the only known world in Chaos.
Apart from the Honghuang Heaven and Earth, the boundless Chaos was immeasurable; even Saints did not know how vast Chaos truly was.
Traveling in Chaos was not only tedious and monotonous but also very easy to get lost, so ordinary beings rarely ventured deep into Chaos.
"Master's purpose in coming to Chaos this time is actually for the Supreme Treasure Chaos Bell!" Golden Spirit Mother said.
This time, in addition to King Zhou and the Lord of Heaven, the four inner Disciples of the Jie Sect also came to Chaos.
The four inner Disciples of the Jie Sect were Daoist Duobao, Turtle Spirit Mother, Golden Spirit Mother, and Immaculate Mother.
As they traveled through Chaos, the Lord of Heaven did not explain anything, but Golden Spirit Mother seemed to have noticed King Zhou's confusion and spoke to explain.
"The Supreme Treasure Chaos Bell? So it has entered Chaos, no wonder!" King Zhou nodded and said.
He was naturally curious about the purpose of this trip; the formation the Lord of Heaven had put together was simply too grand.
The Saint, the Lord of Heaven, personally led the team, and all four inner Disciples of the Jie Sect were present; this lineup was undeniably powerful.
There was no need to mention the Saint, the Lord of Heaven; the four inner Disciples of the Jie Sect were also extraordinary, each a top-tier powerhouse.
Daoist Duobao was the chief of the four inner Disciples under the Lord of Heaven, and he had already attained the Quasi-Saint Dao long ago.
One must know that neither the Chan Sect nor the Western Religion had even a single Quasi-Saint Disciple.
Although Turtle Spirit Mother, Golden Spirit Mother, and Immaculate Mother were not Quasi-Saints, they were all top-tier Great Luo Golden Immortals.
If they had the Opportunity, it would not be strange for these three Jie Sect inner Disciples to attain the Quasi-Saint Dao.
Coming to Chaos with such a powerful lineup, how could the Lord of Heaven's purpose be simple
However, knowing that the purpose of this trip was the chaos bell, everything now had a reasonable explanation.
As far as he knew, there were Three Pristine Ones in the world: the Taiji Diagram, the Pangu Banner, and the chaos bell.
The Taiqing Saint controlled the Prenatal Supreme Treasure Taiji Diagram, Celestial Worthy of the Primordial Beginning controlled the Prenatal Supreme Treasure Pangu Banner, and the chaos bell was masterless.
To say it was masterless was only true for now; the chaos bell once had a Master.
In ancient times, during the Witch-Demon War, the Prenatal Supreme Treasure chaos bell was controlled by Eastern Emperor Taiyi, the emperor of the Demon Clan.
Legend has it that after Pangu created the world, the Prenatal Supreme Treasure chaos bell was born alongside Eastern Emperor Taiyi in the Solar Star.
Later, the Witch-Demon War raged across the world, resulting in heavy losses for both sides, and Eastern Emperor Taiyi also perished in that battle.
After Eastern Emperor Taiyi's demise, the Prenatal Supreme Treasure chaos bell became ownerless, naturally attracting the attention of countless beings.
The Prenatal Supreme Treasure possessed infinite power and myriad wondrous uses; even a Saint could not ignore a Prenatal Supreme Treasure.
For example, the two Saints of Western Religion did not possess a Prenatal Supreme Treasure, so they naturally desired to obtain the Prenatal Supreme Treasure chaos bell.
However, after the Witch-Demon War, the Prenatal Supreme Treasure chaos bell vanished without a trace and had not reappeared since.
It now seemed that the Prenatal Supreme Treasure chaos bell had escaped into the vast Chaos, rather than falling into the hands of a certain Saint.
This was quite interesting. Could it be that even with a Saint's power, they could not subdue a Prenatal Supreme Treasure?
"Are you perhaps wondering why Master knew the chaos bell was in the Chaos, yet couldn't subdue this Prenatal Supreme Treasure?" Golden Spirit Mother asked.
She was not unfamiliar with King Zhou; in fact, one could say she was quite familiar, as she had been observing King Zhou for some time.
It was all because of the Phoenix Clan. She was originally from the Phoenix Clan, but later, by chance, she became a Disciple of a Saint.
However, she had an unbreakable connection with the Phoenix Clan, and she had once been deeply concerned about the Phoenix Clan's situation.
She had even asked her Master for help, but even a Saint like her Master was helpless regarding the Phoenix Clan's plight.
She had never expected that something even a Saint couldn't resolve would be solved by King Zhou.
He made the Phoenix Clan the Human Clan Luck Totem, causing Heaven's Dao to bestow boundless merit, thereby dispelling the Karma the Phoenix Clan had borne for endless ages.
From then on, the Phoenix Clan became one with the Human Clan, enjoying the Human Clan Luck and no longer facing the crisis of extinction.
What surprised her even more was that Yuanfeng was not dead and had been in the Undying Volcano all along, and King Zhou had rescued her.
Yuanfeng was the ancestor of the Phoenix Clan, the first Phoenix in the world, and could be said to be the ancestor of all phoenixes in existence.
King Zhou not only helped the Phoenix Clan resolve their extinction crisis but also rescued Yuanfeng, so she had to acknowledge this favor.
Therefore, as they traveled through the Chaos, she took the initiative to speak, helping King Zhou resolve the doubts in his heart.
Moreover, she had already decided that if she had the chance in the future, she would definitely repay King Zhou's kindness.
She dared not say much, but if King Zhou had any requests, she would definitely go all out without a second thought.
"Although a Prenatal Supreme Treasure is extraordinary, it shouldn't be difficult for a Saint to suppress it, right?" King Zhou said.
This was precisely where his confusion lay. No matter how infinitely powerful a Prenatal Supreme Treasure was, could it contend with a Saint?
He had initially thought that Tongtian Sect Leader had just deduced the whereabouts of the chaos bell, which was why he was so eager to come to the Chaos.
But from Golden Spirit Mother's words, it seemed the matter was not that simple, and there must be reasons he didn't know.
"In fact, Master discovered the chaos bell long ago, and he has tried to suppress it more than once, but all attempts failed!" Golden Spirit Mother said.
According to her, after the Witch-Demon War, Eastern Emperor Taiyi perished, and the Prenatal Supreme Treasure attracted widespread attention.
Tongtian Sect Leader was not the only one coveting the Prenatal Supreme Treasure chaos bell; the other five Saints also had some ideas about it.
However, the moment Eastern Emperor Taiyi fell, the Prenatal Supreme Treasure chaos bell directly escaped into the Chaos, catching everyone off guard.
The Saints didn't have time to stop it, and finding the chaos bell's trace in the vast Chaos was not an easy task.
Of course, with a Saint's power, as long as they were willing to spend time, they could still deduce the chaos bell's whereabouts and plan ahead.
Tongtian Sect Leader had planned to do just that: deduce the chaos bell's whereabouts in advance, and then wait for it to take the bait.
Before this, Tongtian Sect Leader had made three attempts, but all three attempts ended in failure.
With a Saint's almost omnipotent power, there was naturally a reason why they couldn't suppress the Prenatal Supreme Treasure chaos bell.
The most fundamental reason was that this was the Chaos, not the world they inhabited.
Saints were also known as Heavenly Dao Saints because they also controlled the rules of the Heavenly Dao, which gave them almost omnipotent means.
But in the Chaos, where the Heavenly Dao was absent and the Great Dao was not manifest, a Saint's power would be greatly diminished.
The Prenatal Supreme Treasure chaos bell, on the other hand, was born in the Chaos, and it was like a fish in water there, its power unaffected in the slightest.
This back and forth created the current awkward situation: Tongtian Sect Leader made three attempts, but all three failed.
"So that's how it is! Does Tongtian Sect Leader have full confidence this time?" King Zhou inquired.
The reason Golden Spirit Mother stated was not difficult to understand; in fact, he himself felt it deeply.
Because, in this vast Chaos, his own strength had also been greatly diminished.
Far from their world, unable to have Human Clan Luck bless him, he was merely a Golden Immortal, and there was little he could do.
He was currently just a Golden Immortal; this was his innate strength, far inferior to the four Disciples of the Jie Sect.
"Not so. It's just that Master trusts you, so he's trying again!" Golden Spirit Mother said.
This was actually also their confusion. According to their Master, suppressing the chaos bell in the Chaos was almost impossible.
Their Master had clearly given up, but because of King Zhou, their Master was actually preparing to try again.
Could it be that King Zhou could truly be omnipotent, capable of suppressing even the Prenatal Supreme Treasure chaos bell?
Chapter 188: Prenatal Supreme Treasure chaos bell!
Knowing Tongtian Sect Leader's purpose for this trip, the four inner Disciples of the Jie Sect were very confused, and King Zhou's heart was also full of questions.
From Golden Spirit Mother's words, it was clear that Tongtian Sect Leader's purpose in coming to the Chaos was precisely the Prenatal Supreme Treasure chaos bell.
For a Saint, the power of a Prenatal Supreme Treasure was secondary, as they themselves were already invincible.
Moreover, Tongtian Sect Leader, this Saint, also possessed the Zhuxian Four Swords, which no four Saints could break, so he cared even less for the chaos bell.
Tongtian Sect Leader likely wanted to subdue the Prenatal Supreme Treasure chaos bell to suppress the Jie Sect's Luck.
The Chan Sect had the Prenatal Supreme Treasure Pangu Banner to suppress its Luck, so it remained stable during the Investiture of Gods Ranking List, even able to control the Investiture of Gods Ranking List and the God Striking Whip.
Although Western Religion did not have a Prenatal Supreme Treasure, its own Luck was not strong, and suppressing its Luck with the Twelve Grade Merit Golden Lotus was sufficient.
Only the Jie Sect, which was not only powerful but also had numerous Disciples, could not have its Luck suppressed by ordinary treasures.
All things in the world are in flux, just like the rising and setting sun; there is no eternal protagonist in the world, this is determined by the Great Dao.
Although the Jie Sect was immensely powerful now, with the momentum of ten thousand immortals coming to court, if its Luck waned, all of this would instantly become a thing of the past.
If there was a Prenatal Supreme Treasure to suppress Luck, it could not only slow down the decline of Luck but even possibly avoid the great tribulation.
Because of this, Tongtian Sect Leader cared so much about the Prenatal Supreme Treasure chaos bell, even making multiple attempts to subdue it.
But in King Zhou's view, having a Prenatal Supreme Treasure or not could be said to be very important, but also not important.
For example, the Chan Sect had the Prenatal Supreme Treasure Pangu Banner to suppress its Luck, but what did it look like after the Investiture of Gods Ranking List?
But then he thought, if the Chan Sect hadn't had the Prenatal Supreme Treasure Pangu Banner to suppress its Luck, its fate would probably have been even worse, perhaps even perishing like the Jie Sect.
However, if even Tongtian Sect Leader couldn't subdue the Prenatal Supreme Treasure chaos bell, why did Tongtian Sect Leader suddenly gain confidence after he appeared?
Although he had done many incredible things, each time he had planned before acting; he wasn't truly omnipotent.
For example, regarding subduing the Prenatal Supreme Treasure chaos bell, he didn't believe he was truly some Son of Destiny, and that the chaos bell would willingly submit to him.
In this vast Chaos, without the Human Clan Luck blessing him, he was just a small Golden Immortal, and there was little he could do.
Of course, if there was an Opportunity to subdue the Prenatal Supreme Treasure chaos bell, he naturally wouldn't miss such a chance.
The Investiture of Gods Ranking List had fully erupted, and after its curtain was raised, a Saint War was inevitable.
If he had a Prenatal Supreme Treasure in hand, he would have a greater chance of victory when facing those Saints in the future.
"This is the place. You all set up your formations. I will conceal our traces and wait for the chaos bell to take the bait!" Tongtian Sect Leader said in a deep voice.
Three attempts, and three failures, for a Saint, this was somewhat humiliating.
If it were his usual temper, he wouldn't make another move, as it would be asking for trouble.
But because of King Zhou's appearance, he indeed saw hope, which was why he made this trip to the Chaos.
However, he was not entirely confident if it would succeed, but he was prepared to try one last time.
Although he had entrusted the future of the Jie Sect to King Zhou, as the Investiture of Gods Ranking List erupted, he gradually felt danger.
To be precise, King Zhou had made him realize some things, which was why he felt a huge crisis approaching in the unseen world.
The Prenatal Supreme Treasure chaos bell was an Opportunity; if it truly succeeded, it might play a huge role at a crucial moment.
With a wave of his hand, four treasured swords flew into the hands of Duobao Daoist and the other four inner Disciples of the Jie Sect.
These were the renowned Zhuxian Four Swords, now controlled by the four great inner Disciples of the Jie Sect.
Duobao Daoist and the other four Disciples each held a sword, standing in the four directions of southeast, west, and north, subtly forming a formation.
Without surprise, this should be the fiercely powerful Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, though it was currently held back and not unleashed
Once the Prenatal Supreme Treasure chaos bell appears, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation will create its own space, capable of trapping the chaos bell.
"May I ask, Tongtian Sect Leader, have you used the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation to suppress the chaos bell before?" King Zhou inquired.
Seeing how skilled the four Jie Cult disciples, including Duobao Daoist, were, it was clear that this was not their first time doing so.
If nothing unexpected happened, Tongtian Sect Leader must have used the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation in the past, and the outcome was already obvious.
"This place is far from the world created by Pangu, and the Heaven and Earth Evil Qi cannot gather here, so the power of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation will be greatly diminished!
At most, it can only trap the chaos bell for a moment. If it cannot be subdued, it can escape on its own!" Tongtian Sect Leader sighed.
The reason the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation was so fearsome was because it was the foremost killing Formation under the Heavenly Dao.
When the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation was activated, the Heaven and Earth Evil Qi would condense, dominating the Heavenly Dao's power of slaughter, which was why it possessed the power that could not be broken by anyone less than four Saints.
However, this was Chaos, where the Heavenly Dao did not exist, so dominating the Heavenly Dao's power of slaughter naturally became useless.
Moreover, the most formidable aspect of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation was its ability to condense the infinite Evil Qi between heaven and earth, thereby forming terrifying killing power.
But in the Chaos, far from their world, condensing the Heaven and Earth Evil Qi was naturally impossible.
As a result, the power of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation was instantly reduced by more than half. Forget about being unbreakable by four Saints, it couldn't even suppress a single Saint.
If not for this, with the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation at its Peak, even if it couldn't subdue the Prenatal Supreme Treasure chaos bell, it would be more than enough to suppress the chaos bell.
"It seems that to subdue the chaos bell, we can only rely on strategy, not brute force!" King Zhou said.
Since Tongtian Sect Leader had already made three attempts, he must have considered all possible methods, and he must have gone all out.
Since even that failed, it was naturally impossible to subdue the chaos bell with overwhelming power.
However, this did not mean that subduing the chaos bell was hopeless. If the method was appropriate, perhaps the chaos bell would submit on its own without any need for violence.
"Then it's up to your ability!" Tongtian Sect Leader said with a smile.
He had failed three times, yet why was he making one last attempt? It was all because of King Zhou.
He had already determined that King Zhou was the one that escaped, which allowed him to break free from the Heavenly Dao's restraints and repeatedly do incredible things.
Although he failed three times to subdue the chaos bell, he wasn't without any gains, and he had already understood some things.
In his opinion, it was likely that no Saint could subdue the Prenatal Supreme Treasure chaos bell.
The fact that the chaos bell was still without a master confirmed his guess, because it was impossible that he was the only one who had made an attempt.
Among the six Saints, Nüwa and his Eldest Senior Brother might not have made a move, but the other three Saints should have, more or less, made an attempt.
If Saints couldn't subdue the Prenatal Supreme Treasure chaos bell, then perhaps there was indeed some hope for the one that escaped.
"Here it comes!"
Just as Tongtian Sect Leader spoke, the "dong, dong, dong" of a bell rang out, and a large bell broke through the vast Chaos, appearing in King Zhou's line of sight.
"As expected of a Prenatal Supreme Treasure, it truly is extraordinary!" King Zhou murmured as he looked at the chaos bell.
When the chaos bell appeared, its chimes were vast, the Universe resplendent, heaven and earth paled, and the cosmos trembled. The power of the Prenatal Supreme Treasure was fully displayed.
Upon closer inspection, the chaos bell was enormous, appearing in a chaotic, profound yellow color, with the sun, moon, stars, earth, water, fire, and wind encircling its body.
According to Tongtian Sect Leader, the chaos bell possessed infinite profundity and endless creation, capable of confining time and suppressing space.
It could even reflect any attack and ignore the damage of all divine abilities and magic, making it both offensive and defensive. Wielded above one's head, it inherently stood in an invincible position.
The moment the chaos bell appeared, he felt the power of the Prenatal Supreme Treasure, which was incomparable even to a Quasi-Saint.
Searching the world, only Saints, who were almost omnipotent, could be compared to a Prenatal Supreme Treasure like the chaos bell.
"Tongtian, you are truly persistent. You've come to bother me in the Chaos again. This is the fourth time!"
A vast ripple of energy came, making King Zhou slightly stunned. He had never thought that a Prenatal Supreme Treasure could actually speak.
Using "speak" to describe it was actually a bit inappropriate, because it wasn't the sound of a living being speaking, but an invisible ripple.
When that invisible ripple came, one could clearly understand the meaning conveyed within the ripple.
But from this, it could be seen that the Prenatal Supreme Treasure must have a spirit, and could even think like a living being.
"If you don't want me to bother you, why don't you just submit to me? As a dignified Saint, how could I possibly disgrace you?" Tongtian Sect Leader said.
The moment he saw the chaos bell, he felt a surge of anger, and couldn't help but recall past events.
It was one thing that he couldn't subdue the chaos bell, but the key was that the chaos bell was truly infuriating; it had mocked him quite a bit in the past.
As a dignified Saint, when had he ever been mocked like this? Moreover, by a mere magical artifact.
But he simply couldn't subdue the chaos bell, and besides fuming inwardly, he had no other recourse.
"Following a Saint wouldn't disgrace me, and your temper actually suits my taste, but who told you that you are the Jie Cult Leader!
Don't you know what your Jie Cult is like? Do you still want me to suppress the Jie Cult's destiny?"
The vast ripple came again. King Zhou not only heard the chaos bell's words but also felt its excited mood.
In his opinion, the chaos bell was not a magical artifact at all, but clearly a living being, even possessing the seven emotions and six desires of a living being.
However, the chaos bell's words made him understand why it was unwilling to submit to Tongtian Sect Leader.
In fact, a Prenatal Supreme Treasure falling into the hands of a Saint was absolutely not a disgrace to the Prenatal Supreme Treasure; it could even be said to be a win-win situation.
After all, an existence at the level of a Prenatal Supreme Treasure could probably only exert its proper power in the hands of a Saint.
There should inherently be a complementary relationship between a Prenatal Supreme Treasure and a Saint, and they could even achieve mutual success.
But what the chaos bell said was also true: suppressing the Jie Cult's destiny was not an easy task.
In fact, in his opinion, to suppress the Jie Cult's destiny, one Prenatal Supreme Treasure might truly not be enough.
Thinking this way, if he wanted to subdue the chaos bell, he would probably have to approach it from another angle.
Chapter 189: The irresistible temptation of the chaos bell!
Facing the chaos bell's mockery, Tongtian Sect Leader remained expressionless and said nothing more, merely letting out a cold snort.
The next moment, the grand Formation rose, suppressing Chaos and forming its own space, as terrifying killing qi enveloped the chaos bell.
This was precisely the fearsome Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, with each of the four great Jie Cult disciples wielding one sword.
As soon as the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation appeared, even an entity as powerful as the Prenatal Supreme Treasure chaos bell was instantly suppressed within it, unable to move a single inch.
However, the chaos bell did not retaliate or even make any movement, perhaps out of disdain, or perhaps it had already anticipated this scene.
"Tongtian, you've tried this move before. What? Haven't seen you in a while, has your Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation improved?
It's not that I look down on you, but even if you're given a few more kalpas, you won't be able to suppress me. Are you really that idle?
If you ask me, you should just go back. If you stay in this Chaos for too long, your Jie Cult might cease to exist!"
It had to be said, the chaos bell was indeed very obnoxious, with every word striking at Tongtian Sect Leader's sore spots, making it hard for him not to get angry.
However, from the chaos bell's almost arrogant words, one could also discern that the chaos bell was acting with impunity.
Tongtian Sect Leader had made three attempts, and facts had already proven that he simply could not subdue the Prenatal Supreme Treasure chaos bell.
In the chaos bell's view, Tongtian Sect Leader's current attempt was no different from previous ones, and would ultimately only be a waste of time.
Since it was somewhat bored in the Chaos anyway, it might as well play along with Tongtian Sect Leader and pass some time.
At this moment, King Zhou was not observing the chaos bell, but rather carefully observing the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.
Compared to the Prenatal Supreme Treasure chaos bell, he was more interested in this fearsome Formation.
He had inherited the Legacy of Chu Heavenly Emperor, and had profound attainments in the domain of field arrays, which had many similarities with the domain of Formations.
In the current world, when it came to Formations, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation was absolutely unparalleled.
In this Chaos, although the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation's power was greatly reduced, it was precisely because of this that he had the opportunity to see the essence of this Formation.
The Zhuxian Four Swords: the first is the Immortal Slaughtering Sword, the second is the Killing Immortal Sword, the third is the Trapping Immortal Sword, and the fourth is the Termination Immortal Sword.
The Immortal Slaughtering Sword is sharp, the Killing Immortal Sword brings death, the Trapping Immortal Sword produces red light everywhere, and the Termination Immortal Sword has infinite wondrous changes, staining the robes of Great Luo Immortals with blood.
This verse fully described the individual profundities of the Zhuxian Four Swords, but this only referred to the Zhuxian Four Swords, not the true Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.
When the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation was activated, the Formation was filled with chilling Killing Intent, whistling yin winds, mysterious and unpredictable changes, infinite killing opportunities, and myriad dangers.
Even Heavenly Dao Saints would not dare to treat it lightly. If a Great Luo Golden Immortal entered the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, they would instantly turn to dust.
At this moment, King Zhou's feelings were particularly strong. He not only felt the infinite changes of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation but also saw the essence of the power of slaughter.
Of course, he also understood in his heart that this was intentionally done by Tongtian Sect Leader, which allowed him the opportunity to glimpse the true face of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.
"chaos bell, you are mistaken this time. This time, it's not me who wants to subdue you, but I have found a new master for you!" Tongtian Sect Leader said.
With the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation activated, he made no further moves. Instead, he began to converse with the chaos bell within the Formation's space.
He was actually quite helpless like this; if he hadn't used the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation to trap the chaos bell for a moment, the chaos bell would have long since broken through the Chaos and left.
Only within this Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation could he gain a little time to have a good talk with the chaos bell.
As for whether the chaos bell would agree, it depended on whether King Zhou's incredible qualities could move the chaos bell.
"Tongtian! Don't joke around, alright? You're not even worthy of my submission, so who could become my new master?" the chaos bell said disdainfully.
If it truly wanted to choose a master, the queue of living beings would probably stretch from the East Sea to the North Sea; there would be no need for Tongtian Sect Leader to help it find one.
Moreover, if it truly wanted to choose a master, it wouldn't have fled into Chaos back then, but would have chosen a master long ago
It is no exaggeration to say that even if there were six Saints, it could choose whoever it wanted, and the Saints would never refuse.
It didn't even want to bother with the Saint, Sect Master Tongtian, yet Sect Master Tongtian still found a master for it. Isn't that ridiculous?
"chaos bell, you have been out of the world for a long time. You probably know nothing about the recent events in the world!
The person I'm talking about is the current Human Emperor, who, in just a few short years, has done many things..."
Sect Master Tongtian, also annoyed, recounted how King Zhou had emerged and all the earth-shshattering deeds he had accomplished, one by one.
Seeing that the chaos bell remained motionless, a smile gradually appeared on his face, and he felt a surge of pride.
With the power of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, it could only trap the chaos bell for a moment, and that time had long since passed.
If the chaos bell wished, it could have broken through the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation and escaped into the vast Chaos by now, and he would have been helpless.
But the chaos bell did not leave; instead, it stayed obediently within the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, clearly interested in what he had said.
What if it was a Prenatal Supreme Treasure? What if it had mocked him many times? Now it still had to listen to him obediently.
Of course, he also knew in his heart that all this was because King Zhou was truly too incredible, and the things he had done had astonished even Saints.
Although the innate treasure chaos bell had been in the Chaos for a long time, it had also spent a long time in the world. What kind of beings had it not seen?
It had seen the former Ancestral Dragon, Primordial Phoenix, and Primordial Qilin, and later the Twelve Ancestral Gods and the two Human Emperors of the demon race.
But even so, King Zhou, to the innate treasure chaos bell, was still a being it had never seen before and one that made it feel shocked.
"The contemporary Human Emperor of the Human Race? He actually solved the Undying Volcano and the East Sea Eye? And even changed the general trend of the Heavenly Dao?
Tongtian, don't try to fool me. Although I am in the Chaos, it is not difficult for me to know what is happening in the world!" said the chaos bell.
After listening to Sect Master Tongtian's words, the chaos bell's first reaction was disbelief, because what Sect Master Tongtian said was indeed too incredible.
After all, every single thing that Sect Master Tongtian said that Human Race had done was extraordinary, and even Saints might not be able to accomplish them.
For example, the Undying Volcano and the East Sea Eye, these two hidden dangers of the world, had existed for countless years.
If Saints had a way, they would have solved these two hidden dangers long ago, as they represented a massive amount of merit.
But the Undying Volcano and the East Sea Eye had existed since the beginning of creation, and they still existed when it left the world.
Something that Saints were powerless to do was actually solved by a mere Human Race?
Such an incredible thing, let alone it didn't believe it, any other being would probably not believe it.
But it also knew very well that with the character of Sect Master Tongtian, a Saint, he would disdain to lie.
If what Sect Master Tongtian said was true, such a Human Race would indeed make even Saints take notice.
"The Human Race is currently the protagonist of the world, with prosperous destiny like the great sun. It is not surprising that such a Human Race was born!" said Sect Master Tongtian.
Seeing the chaos bell show interest and no sign of leaving at this moment, he, on the contrary, was no longer in a hurry.
He knew that such an incredible Human Race as King Zhou would make even Saints take notice, so how could the chaos bell not be interested?
As long as the chaos bell was interested, things would be easy. He had absolute confidence in King Zhou.
"The former demon race also had a prosperous destiny, and the witch race also dominated the earth. Why didn't these two races give birth to such a being?
You, as a Saint, use such words to fool me. Do you think you would believe yourself?" the chaos bell said with disdain.
It had already fought Sect Master Tongtian three times, and it had some understanding of this Saint, so it naturally knew Sect Master Tongtian's purpose.
Ultimately, Sect Master Tongtian's ultimate goal was still to subdue it. It would actually be a wise move for it to re-enter the Chaos at this moment.
But it was indeed somewhat interested in the Human Race that Sect Master Tongtian mentioned, and it even risked staying in the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.
If Sect Master Tongtian couldn't give a good explanation, and it truly wanted to leave, Sect Master Tongtian still wouldn't be able to keep it.
"You are right, merely being the protagonist of the Human Race is indeed not enough to make the chaos bell's heart stir, or even pique its slightest interest. But what if he is the one that escaped?" said Sect Master Tongtian.
Just the identity of the contemporary Human Emperor of the Human Race was indeed not enough to make the chaos bell's heart stir, or even pique its slightest interest.
The things King Zhou had done, each one was earth-shattering, but they could only make the chaos bell somewhat interested.
His true confidence, in fact, was because King Zhou was the one that escaped, and this was the basis of his confidence in persuading the chaos bell.
King Zhou was the one that escaped, with unlimited possibilities in the future. Even Saints would be moved, let alone the innate treasure chaos bell?
Moreover, he had long had some suspicions about the chaos bell, and he was convinced that the chaos bell would most likely not be able to refuse King Zhou.
"the one that escaped? Impossible! How could the one that escaped be a human, and a Human Emperor at that?" the chaos bell said in surprise.
Sect Master Tongtian guessed correctly. the one that escaped was indeed a temptation it could not refuse.
Moreover, Sect Master Tongtian had no idea that not only could it not refuse the one that escaped, but this was something it didn't even dare to imagine.
If it had met the one that escaped earlier, why would it need to flee into the Chaos and wander in this vast, boundless, desolate Chaos?
After all, compared to the world created by Pangu, Chaos was really not a good place.
Why could Saints deduce its whereabouts? Wasn't it because it had never strayed far from the world opened by Pangu?
Even an innate treasure, if it wandered in the Chaos indefinitely, over time, its spirituality would gradually be worn away.
Aside from falling into slumber, there was no other way, and it naturally was unwilling to sleep for endless years.
For some reason, it did not want to submit to a Saint, but if it was the one that escaped, perhaps it was indeed a good choice.
"Believe it or not, the facts are right here. If you don't believe it, just see for yourself!" Sect Master Tongtian said, pointing at King Zhou.
Chapter 190: King Zhou's talent is actually so Heaven-Defying?
With the power of the chaos bell, it had naturally discovered King Zhou long ago, but it had never paid attention to such a small human.
He was merely a Golden Immortal, and a human at that. Such beings were countless in the world.
Perhaps there was something special about being able to follow Sect Master Tongtian, a Saint, into the Chaos, but he could not be taken seriously by it.
Who was it? It was a Prenatal Supreme Treasure. Let alone a Golden Immortal, why should it care about a Quasi-Saint?
However, when Sect Master Tongtian said that this Golden Immortal was the contemporary Human Emperor of the Human Race, it couldn't remain calm.
Being able to do those earth-shattering things that even Saints had to take notice of had already piqued its interest.
If this Golden Immortal was truly the one that escaped, then it wasn't just a matter of piquing its interest.
"Are you the King Zhou that Tongtian spoke of? Are you the one that escaped?" The fluctuations from the chaos bell were full of surprise.
Saints naturally knew what the one that escaped meant, and it also knew very well.
In fact, to some extent, it knew more than Saints, which was why it attached even greater importance to it.
The Great Dao is fifty, Heavenly Dao is forty-nine. All things in the world are within the Heavenly Dao; only the one that escaped can escape the shackles of the Heavenly Dao.
Being outside the Heavenly Dao and not subject to its constraints represents a possibility, a possibility of completely transcending the Heavenly Dao.
Of course, it was only a possibility. Whether it could succeed or not, no one really knew.
After all, the one that escaped had never appeared in the world, and no one knew what the one that escaped truly was.
Even if Sect Master Tongtian was so certain, it still didn't know if this human was truly the one that escaped.
"I don't even know if I am the one that escaped, Senior can simply ignore this matter!" said King Zhou.
He himself didn't know what the one that escaped was. Perhaps even Sect Master Tongtian didn't know.
Sect Master Tongtian had only seen many incredible things in him, and because of his own Dao, he regarded him as the one that escaped.
Other Saints might also have such suspicions, but they would definitely not be as certain as Sect Master Tongtian that he was the one that escaped.
In his opinion, whether he was the one that escaped or not was no longer important.
As the contemporary Human Emperor of the Human Race, at such a crucial moment of the Investiture of the Gods, he was destined to not retreat a single step.
Whether he was the one that escaped or not, he had to face the Gods and Buddhas in the Sky. He wanted to change his own destiny and the destiny of the Human Race.
As for the innate treasure chaos bell, whether it believed him or not, it was equally unimportant.
He had already understood Sect Master Tongtian's intention: to tell the chaos bell that he was the one that escaped, and once again persuade the chaos bell to submit to him.
This might be a good method, with a high probability of success, but he, on the contrary, was not prepared to do so.
"You, young man, are quite interesting. No wonder this fellow Tongtian values you so much!" said the chaos bell.
It had originally thought that this human would readily agree and admit that he was the one that escaped, thereby making it look at him differently.
In fact, that was the case. If this human was truly the one that escaped, acknowledging him as its master was not an impossible thing.
The key was how to confirm the other party's identity. the one that escaped only existed in legends, and no one had ever seen it.
Who would have thought that although this human did not flatly deny it, he also did not admit it, which instead piqued its interest even more.
Perhaps, the one that escaped should be so unique, repeatedly acting unexpectedly, thinking what other beings could not think.
"Senior, whether I am the one that escaped or not is not important. What is important is what Senior is seeking!" said King Zhou.
He had originally thought that the chaos bell was desireless, which was why it had fled into the Chaos, not even caring about the Saints' recruitment.
But now, it seemed that this was not the case. The chaos bell also had something it sought, and what it sought was not small.
To discern this was not difficult; merely seeing that the chaos bell had not left until now was enough to know a thing or two.
If the chaos bell truly had no desires, why would it care about the one that escaped? No matter what Sect Master Tongtian said, it would only remain unmoved.
But the chaos bell stayed, seemingly interested in the other party. Why was that
It just felt that he might be the one that escaped, which is why it became interested. This should also be related to what the chaos bell seeks.
Facing the enticement of a Sage, the chaos bell remained unmoved, instead showing interest in the one that escaped. How could what the chaos bell seeks be simple?
"You boy are indeed interesting, and truly extraordinary. I'm starting to believe what the Lord of Heaven said now!
Since You know I seek something, You should know this matter isn't easy. With your current strength, You're far from enough!" the chaos bell said.
In just a few words, it became increasingly interested in this Human Clan in front of it, something that had never happened before.
Simply based on this interest, acknowledging this Human Clan in front of it as its master was not impossible.
But just as this Human Clan said, it does seek something, and what it seeks is not simple.
This also means that for it to acknowledge a master, it must achieve its wish, or at least see the hope of achieving it.
A Sage might be able to help it achieve its wish, but the Sage would absolutely not agree to what it seeks.
Because of this, even when faced with the enticement of a Sage, it chose to remain unmoved, as the two sides were destined not to reach an agreement.
As for this Human Clan in front of it, whether he is the one that escaped or not, his own strength is only at the Golden Immortal Realm. How can he help it achieve its wish?
It is not that it cannot wait, but it also clearly knows how difficult it is to Cultivate from a Golden Immortal to a level comparable to a Sage.
"As the Human Emperor, You are blessed with Human Clan Luck. Among all beings in the world, no creature below a Sage is Your opponent.
As for Sages, they are wary of Human Clan Luck and dare not easily attack You. However, You do not rely on Human Clan Luck.
Senior, You probably don't know that since You embarked on the path of cultivation, it has only been less than ten years!" King Zhou said proudly.
Human Clan Luck is not omnipotent; he had known this for a long time, and he had never placed his hopes on Human Clan Luck.
In fact, if some means were used to prevent him from gathering Human Clan Luck, it would not be impossible.
He only realized this when he came to the Chaos, because he cannot gather Human Clan Luck now.
With a Sage's methods, instantly changing the world and making one unable to gather Human Clan Luck while in the Chaos is probably not difficult.
As long as a Sage does not personally act and lets other creatures kill him, the backlash from Human Clan Luck that the Sage would suffer is probably not severe.
The reason no Sage has done this is, on one hand, because they do not want to suffer the backlash of Human Clan Luck.
A weak backlash does not mean no backlash. The Investiture of the Gods has not yet reached the decisive moment, so Sages naturally will not rush to act.
On the other hand, it is probably because of the Lord of Heaven; with this Sage standing in the way, other Sages will be even less likely to act easily.
Relying on his own strength to contend against Sages and change his own destiny, as well as the destiny of the Human Clan, is what he has always been striving for.
This matter sounds like a fantasy, and it is estimated that no creature would believe it could come true.
Not to mention Sages, even Quasi-Sages like Duobao Daoist, which one of them didn't Cultivate for countless years to achieve their current strength?
In just over twenty years, going from nothing to being able to contend with a Sage—even a fantasy isn't that exaggerated.
But cultivating from a Mortal to the Golden Immortal Realm in less than ten years is also something that other creatures would consider impossible.
But he succeeded! It was only because of his identity as the Human Emperor that no one ever noticed how exaggerated his cultivation speed was.
"Yes! In just a few years, King Zhou has cultivated to the Golden Immortal Realm. How incredible is that!" Duobao Daoist exclaimed.
Only at this moment did the four inner Disciples of the Jie Sect realize how incredible what King Zhou had just said was.
They were all Personal Disciples of Sages, but they had also cultivated for a long time to finally achieve their current cultivation.
Cultivating from nothing to the Golden Immortal Realm in just a few years?
Don't joke around! A few short years aren't even enough for one of their enlightenment sessions!
Not to mention them, even looking across the entire world, such an incredible thing has never appeared!
After all, this is a Golden Immortal, not a Mysterious Immortal. If one were to Cultivate to a Mysterious Immortal, it might indeed be possible.
A Golden Immortal is already considered having entered the inner sanctum; to break through to the Golden Immortal Realm, one shouldn't even think about it without tens of thousands of years of arduous cultivation.
Even the Lord of Heaven, at this moment, looked at King Zhou with considerable surprise; he too had not realized this point.
After all, King Zhou is the Human Emperor, blessed with Human Clan Luck, and his displayed strength is comparable to a Quasi-Sage.
Clearly, both King Zhou's identity as the current Human Emperor and the earth-shattering deeds he performed were more worthy of attention.
As for King Zhou's own strength, no one had ever paid attention to it, and even if they knew King Zhou had cultivation, no one would care.
"So, You can be considered exceptionally talented, but You are only a Golden Immortal after all. How long will it take to Cultivate to a Quasi-Sage?
And this is only a Quasi-Sage; in the current world, reaching the Realm of a Sage is almost impossible!" the chaos bell said.
To be able to Cultivate from nothing to the Golden Immortal Realm in just a few years is indeed an incredible feat.
From this, it can be seen that the cultivation talent of this Human Clan in front of it must be ridiculously high, and he might even reach a higher Realm in the future.
But for it, this is of little significance; cultivation talent does not represent everything.
Let alone a Saint, even to step into the Quasi-Sage, one must have Human Clan Luck and a Heaven-Defying Opportunity.
Although this Human Clan individual in front of him was not bad, in his opinion, being able to Cultivate to the Golden Immortal was probably the limit, let alone becoming a Saint.
"Junior, why don't I make a bet with Senior? In at most ten years, You will definitely step into the Quasi-Sage!" King Zhou said with a smile.
Chapter 191: Three Conditions!
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at King Zhou, their astonishment evident despite their attempts to conceal it.
That was the Quasi-Sage, the highest Realm below a Saint.
Aside from the six Saints, the Quasi-Sages in this world were few and far between, and every Quasi-Sage was a well-known figure.
Even among the Disciples of Saints, with the Saints' personal guidance, among so many Disciples, only Duobao Daoist, under the Sect Leader Tongtian, reached the Quasi-Sage.
It was impossible to reach the Golden Immortal in ten years from the Golden Immortal, let alone the Quasi-Sage; no matter how one thought about it, this matter seemed impossible!
"Human Emperor, do You know what the Quasi-Sage truly means? I admit that your talent in cultivating to the Golden Immortal in ten years is extraordinary.
But even with the blessing of Human Clan Luck, setting aside the difficulty of advancing to Quasi-Sage, just reaching the Golden Immortal alone would take You a long time."
Duobao Daoist spoke, though by rights he shouldn't have interjected at this moment.
He himself was once an extremely talented being, even cultivating all the way to the Peak of the Golden Immortal without any obstacles.
However, after reaching the Peak of the Golden Immortal, he remained at this Realm for tens of thousands of years before finally having the Opportunity to reach the Quasi-Sage.
In such a situation, he was also the most outstanding among the various Saint Disciples.
Taking the other inner Disciples of the Jie Sect as an example, their entry times were not far from his, and their talents were not much worse than his, yet their Realms were all stuck at the Golden Immortal and Golden Immortal.
As the only Disciple under the Three Pure Ones who crossed from Golden Immortal to Quasi-Sage, he understood the difficulty of moving from Golden Immortal to Quasi-Sage.
The improvement of Realms inherently becomes more difficult the further one progresses, and the time required increases by dozens of times.
Although the other inner Disciples did not speak, their inner thoughts were exactly the same as Duobao Daoist's; they all did not believe that King Zhou could reach the Quasi-Sage within ten years.
Even Golden Spirit Mother, who felt gratitude towards King Zhou, thought the same. She and Duobao Daoist became Disciples of Sect Leader Tongtian at nearly the same time and reached the Golden Immortal at almost the same time.
Unlike Duobao Daoist, she had been stuck at the Peak of the Golden Immortal for countless years, unable to break through.
It was only with King Zhou's help that her vexing Karma was resolved, yet she only felt that she saw an Opportunity to step into the Quasi-Sage. In this situation, she was not entirely confident that she could reach the Quasi-Sage, knowing the difficulty involved.
The chaos bell also felt that King Zhou was exaggerating, his purpose being to bring it under his command.
Even with an additional ten years, King Zhou's cultivation time would only be twenty years.
Twenty years to go from a Human Clan individual with no cultivation to a Quasi-Sage below a Saint, even with the precedent of entering the Golden Immortal in ten years, King Zhou was completely boasting!
Sect Leader Tongtian looked at King Zhou, awaiting his explanation.
Although King Zhou reaching the Golden Immortal in ten years surprised him, it was only a surprise.
He admitted that such talent was excellent compared to his Disciples, and reaching the Golden Immortal or the Peak of the Golden Immortal in the future would be no problem at all.
However, it was precisely because of his Disciples' situations that he understood that reaching the Quasi-Sage was not just about high talent; it also required opportunities and Human Clan Luck, and with the ten-year time limit, the situation became even more impossible.
Duobao Daoist's question, though somewhat overstepping, was also what he wanted to ask.
"A mere Quasi-Sage, it's not worth deceiving about; ten years means ten years, You will keep My word." King Zhou said confidently, his expression unchanged.
Reaching the Quasi-Sage in ten years did not seem exaggerated to him; on the contrary, he felt the time was quite ample.
Currently, the Human Clan Luck was as radiant as a great sun, which greatly benefited his cultivation progress.
What's more, the Great Shang's reforms were about to be completed, and the books of the Hundred Schools of Thought brought about a collision of various schools of thought, elevating the spiritual aspect of the Human Clan by an unimaginable degree.
The popularization and cultivation of dragon tooth rice further improved the physical quality and Aptitude of the Human Clan who consumed it.
The improvement in both body and mind had already brought about a transformation in the Human Clan; more and more people among the Human Clan possessed cultivation Aptitude, and their cultivation speed was also increasing.
All of these were influencing the Human Clan Luck, causing the already radiant Luck to continuously rise, and the increase in Luck further accelerated his cultivation speed.
Moreover, with the help of Houtu Goddess, he had already cultivated The Great Freedom of Transformation to the minor accomplishment level.
Within the chaos bell, mountains, rivers, and myriad races of the Great Desolation were vaguely visible; if he could enter it, it would be like his observation of the Six Paths. This would be of great help to his cultivation of The Great Freedom of Transformation, even allowing him to reach the major accomplishment level.
Besides this, there was also the help of the Hall of Valor; reaching the Quasi-Sage in ten years would be as easy as picking something out of one's pocket.
With such firm words and King Zhou's unchanging expression, everyone saw it.
Those who had completely disbelieved him now became somewhat wavering
