Bab 291 – Fragment Ancient Bell, Breaking through to the Spirit Severing Realm

Su Shi sat in awe as he stared at the black shard in his hands.

For days, he had been trying to sense the position of the next ancient bell, but to no avail. He assumed his realm was not yet strong enough, but he never expected that the fragment was actually in Yu Hongyin’s possession.

But why would she have it?

The latter was an expert, capable of concealing the resonance of the Dao that Su Shi was hunting. This added layer of complexity was further compounded by the fact that they were in an isolated world, distinct from the Nine Realms.

Luckily, his chance presence in Green Hill Plains had revealed the location of the fragment, without which he would have been at a loss forever.

“Is this all just a coincidence?” Su Shi murmured to himself, gazing at the shard in his hand.

The Netherworld Rakhasa Sect’s nine ancient bells, the Tianji Pavilion’s secret realm, the ancient emperor of Hanjiang’s inheritance, the fragments of the ancient bells of the Daoist Zhaixin — all seemingly unconnected, yet inexplicably intertwined.

In the original plot, the Profound Bells were briefly mentioned and the cultivation method for the Great Harmony of Mixed Elements of Nine Revolution of Heaven and Earth was never introduced.

Changing the plot was not as simple as one would think.

“The reincarnation of destiny is endless, and the nine realms are vast and boundless,” the system had informed him after killing Ye Xiao in the ancient emperor’s secret realm. Only now did Su Shi understand the significance of those words.

“Ye Xiao’s death was only the beginning,” Su Shi muttered. “The real ‘plot’ is far from simple.”

“If I follow the prophecy of the Daoist Zhaixin, then I should be the son of destiny. Am I really the protagonist after all this time?” Su Shi frowned.

At that moment, Yu Hongyin spoke up. “Shengzi Su, do you know what that thing is?”

Su Shi looked over and nodded. “If my guess is correct, it’s a fragment from the Nine Profound Bells.”

Yu Hongyin tried to recall what the Nine Profound Bells were, but in the end shook her head. “I’ve never heard of it… Is it useful to you?”

The fragment and Su Shi were resonating with one another, a fact that Yu Hongyin was able to sense. Su Shi confirmed her intuition, saying, “It’s very important to me. It’s closely related to the Dao I practice.”

Yu Hongyin simply handed him the fragment. Su Shi looked surprised. “What does the Old Ancestor mean?”

The fox ancestor responded nonchalantly. “Since you need it, I’ll just give it to you. No merit, no reward.”

“Thank you, ancestor,” Su Shi said gratefully, cupping his hands.

The fox ancestor had been generous to him, not only providing him with a piece of psychic jade, but also giving him this ancient bell fragment free of charge. Even though there were no conditions attached, Su Shi knew that there were certain expectations involved.

“It’s okay,” Yu Hongyin brushed it off. “You have the inheritance of Li Hanjiang. If Zhaixin has a spirit in the sky, she should hope that this fragment ends up with you. Besides, with your talent and good fortune, coupled with the support of the two supreme beings, passing the tribulation and proving yourself is almost a sure thing.”

She paused for a moment, then added, “Of course, I’ll need to keep in touch with you in the future.”

Su Shi couldn’t help but shake his head, laughing. “The ancestor’s words are really straightforward.”

Yu Hongyin shrugged. “I’m an honest person. No need for beating around the bush.”

Su Shi had to admit — the fox ancestor was a fascinating person. She didn’t bother to mask her true intentions, making her feel more genuine.

“Are you really the ancestor of the fox clan?” he asked curiously.

Yu Hongyin raised an eyebrow. “What, I don’t look like one?”

Su Shi shook his head. “It’s not that. You’re just different from what I expected.”

The individual in front of him was entirely dissimilar to his expectations.

He had always imagined this old ancestor to be an elderly figure, but what stood before him was a beautiful person with a flawless, fair-skinned melon seed face and slender, crescent moon-shaped eyes.

Yu Hongyin noticing his confusion, and said lightly: “The reason why I am called the ancestor is because I am the strongest in the fox clan, but not the oldest in the fox clan.”

“Uh…that seems to make sense.”

Su Shi focused his attention on the fragment, stopping his wild thoughts. The curved fragment had incomplete seal characters engraved on it, which seemed to have fallen off a bell wall. However, it was unlike any previous bronze bells he had seen.

The entire shard was pitch-black, resembling black iron, and its coldness pierced his bones. As he held it, he felt a blood connection and his Bell in his dantian began to tremble violently, almost excitedly.

The sound of the bell echoed through his body, and his heartbeat began to slow, matching the frequency of the ancient bell’s tremor. Suddenly, there was a roar in the void, and mysterious seal inscriptions appeared on his body, shining brightly.

With a soft hum, Su Shi’s vision darkened. When he opened his eyes, he found himself standing on a lake shore, facing a massive incomplete ancient bell. The stars and the Milky Way were circulating in the distant sky.

“Is this…my own dantian?”

Su Shi looked down, still holding the black shard in his hand, emitting a faint light.

The light and the ancient bell are intertwined.

He saw a small crack on the bell wall being gradually repaired.

Boom!

At the moment when the restoration was completed, a dazzling light suddenly bloomed between the spiritual platforms!

The soul power in the Violet Palace gradually condensed, forming a translucent phantom, and the phantom was still solidifying.

Su Shi entered a state of meditation.

It seems to have touched a layer of window paper faintly, and it can be pierced with a little force.

But it still feels a little bit worse.

Yu Hongyin looked at Su Shi blankly.

She saw that his eyes were slightly closed, and there seemed to be a flame swaying between his brows. Behind him stood a golden dharma that stood above the sky, and behind the dharma was the endless stars and the Milky Way.

“The golden body of the law? The power of the stars?”

“Also, this soul power is too strong!”

“How much good fortune is there in this person?”

Yu Hongyin couldn’t recover for a while.

Is this the atmosphere of Linlang’s number one genius?

As time passed, the flame between Su Shi’s eyebrows became more and more vigorous, and his soul power was also refined and refined.

The last trace of soul power was refined, and the white flame slowly extinguished.

Su Shi finally woke up.

He opened his eyes blankly, “What happened just now… eh?!”

The next second, his whole body was stunned.

He saw not far away, a man with his eyes closed, as if he was meditating cross-legged.

It looked very familiar.

Isn’t it me?!

Su Shi looked down.

His body is in a translucent state, illusory like a cloud, as if his soul is out of his body!

Yu Hongyin turned her head and looked at him with a complicated expression, “Congratulations to Shengzi Su for breaking through to the Spirit Severing Realm.”

Su Shi looked startled.

“Break through to Spirit Severing Realm?”
