Chapter 162: An Imperial Weapon as Dowry, The Great Sage Lu Ren and Great Sage Hun Tuo (4k)

Clang~~~~~~~~~

The Imperial Bell of Donghuang, even without being activated, maintained its autonomous revival, its sound shaking the Big Dipper and causing the sanctuaries to tremble and the ancient clans to feel a chill of dread.

No matter how you looked at it, it was a semi-immortal artifact personally refined by a Mundane Immortal. Although its primary function was to serve as a communication device, its essence made it extraordinary.

"I didn't expect you to have an imperial-grade weapon", Luo Yao said. She had been forcibly brought into the group by Ren Ran, who claimed it was to protect her.

Ren Ran had changed back into her male attire but no longer wore a disguise, revealing her delicate features and confident demeanor as she turned to look at the cold beauty. She then casually draped her arm around Luo Yao's shoulder and, with a smile, asked, "How about it, are you moved?"

"Who wouldn't be moved by an imperial-grade weapon?" Luo Yao, knowing Ren Ran's nature, responded calmly. She knew Ren Ran was just teasing, as she was actually quite pure-hearted.

Ren Ran took a deep breath. After years of cultivation, she was no longer the same person. Today, she was determined to wipe away past humiliations!

She released her hand from Luo Yao's shoulder, gently caressed her face, and then cupped her chin, leaning close to her cheek. Pretending to be calm, she said, "Actually, I am a man, a handsome young gentleman, a refined youth. I can marry you."

Hmph, she didn't believe the other party could remain calm this time.

Little Luo Yao, easily taken down!

"Sure, if you offer me an imperial-grade weapon as dowry, I agree." To Ren Ran's surprise, Luo Yao nodded.

"..."

Ren Ran's face fell. Oh no, another day of being outwitted.

"Fine, give me five hundred years, and I'll send you an imperial-grade weapon!" She quickly regained her spirit, determined and spirited. Wasn't it just a matter of achieving enlightenment? Anyone could do it with a bit of effort.

Black Sovereign, seeing the situation, hurriedly separated the two. White Tiger Sovereign also grabbed Ren Ran and pulled her away, fearing what else might be said.

"Woof, I've wronged the Emperor!" Black Sovereign howled, then glared at White Tiger Sovereign, "It's all your fault, you stupid cat! I was just out for a walk, and you led the little master astray!"

It had to be said, he was quite skilled at shifting the blame.

Black Sovereign believed that even if the Emperor found out, he wouldn't be too harsh. But the other party might really cook him up.

"Meow, I didn't know it would turn out this way."

White Tiger Sovereign let out a mournful cry. She was just a kind, cute, and innocent little tiger, not understanding the complexities of human emotions.

Regardless of what the cat and tiger were muttering, Ren Ran had made up her mind to visit the ancient clans with the Imperial Bell of Donghuang.

The bell rang softly, hanging quietly above her head.

A powerful ancestor king watched from a distance, only to be shaken out of the void. He forced himself to say, "I was just passing by, with no intention of offending!"

Despite being hundreds of miles apart, the ancient clan's ancestor king trembled, stepping back in fear, terrified that the imperial weapon would strike him.

"Hey, I recognize this aura. Were you the ones who tried to harm me?" Ren Ran smiled, her smile bright and radiant.

This was the ancestral land of the Lanmo Clan, one of the ten strongest royal clans in the Primordial Ten Thousand Clans, second only to the few imperial clans. A Great Sage had once emerged from this clan.

The current Lanmo Clan leader was just one step away from becoming a Great Sage, known as the Lanmo Heavenly King, a figure of great power.

He had attempted to attack Ren Ran, only to be suppressed by the revived Imperial Bell of Donghuang.

This was a case of old enemies meeting again.

In the depths of the Lanmo Abyss, the remaining ancestor kings turned pale, filled with unease, almost stopping their breathing. They were sages, capable of plucking stars from the sky and shattering the moon, and in a single battle, they could cause the Central Continent to sink into a vast, boundless land.

However, now, facing the overwhelming power of the revived imperial-grade weapon, they became weak and helpless, lacking the courage to fight back. The great bell hanging over the ancestral land was terrifying. Its sound alone made them tremble, leaving them with no will to resist, filled with despair.

"An elder once taught me that all things have a spirit and should not be needlessly harmed", Ren Ran said calmly.

"But she also said that we must be true to our hearts. As cultivators, we strive for clarity of mind. Therefore, you should commit suicide to atone for your sins."

"You are too arrogant, relying on an imperial-grade weapon to act without restraint. Do you want to completely destroy the Primordial Ten Thousand Clans?" the Lanmo Clan's ancestor king said.

No matter what, they wouldn't commit suicide just because someone told them to.

"Do you even deserve to speak for the ten thousand clans?" Black Sovereign stepped forward, grinning. "No one wrongs me without paying tenfold. Today, we won't hold back. If necessary, we'll sink this place, using violence to stop violence!"

He was always the most petty. Ren Ran had been attacked by the Lanmo Heavenly King, and they had a life-and-death feud. It wouldn't end with just killing him.

Moreover, the Primordial Ten Thousand Clans were arrogant and tyrannical, wreaking havoc in the Big Dipper. Using them to establish authority was perfect.

And he had his own ulterior motives, wanting to bring the imperial daughter to the forefront. As the Emperor's daughter, how could she remain so low-key? This would give him more confidence when he went out.

Ren Ran snapped her fingers, and the Imperial Bell of Donghuang descended, suppressing and killing all the Lanmo Clan's ancestor kings.

Then, the group visited other ancient imperial clans, including the Ember Kirin Cave, the Crimson Phoenix Mountain, and the Divine Silkworm Ridge.

The Imperial Bell of Donghuang absorbed the essence of heaven and earth and continuously drew on the power of faith.

A vague human figure even appeared in the chaotic mist below the bell, and everyone could feel its supreme authority, a suffocating presence.

Clearly, Ren Ran was establishing her authority and sending a warning.

"All things coexist for a reason. The return of the ancient clans is not a problem, but they must not disrupt the order of the Big Dipper. If they dare to defy, there will be a great upheaval!"

The deity within the Imperial Bell of Donghuang fully awakened, declaring these words. The clear voice sounded like that of a supreme celestial emperor, indistinguishable as male or female, and his words carried the power of law, causing the great principles of the universe to resonate.

The vibrations were like thunder in the nine heavens, echoing over the ancient clans, making them shiver with fear.

The Primordial Ten Thousand Clans were all afraid, remaining hidden and not daring to make any moves.

However, the world was boiling with excitement.

The Imperial Bell of Donghuang was almost unknown to the world, but on this day, in many human settlements in the Big Dipper, the long-venerated statues of the Donghuang Emperor resonated and glowed brightly.

The traces of the great principles left by the Donghuang Emperor in the past were reconnected, and some of the older generation recognized them, exclaiming that the Donghuang Emperor had returned, and they bowed in reverence, contributing a wave of faith.

"Is the Donghuang Emperor really still alive?"

"The Donghuang Emperor's achievements are unparalleled, having destroyed the underworld and pacified the forbidden zones, revered as the Supreme Emperor of the Great One. Now he has returned to protect the world!"

"The Donghuang Emperor must still be alive. A woman like her wouldn't die quietly. Just like when she reappeared in the era of the Void Emperor and then disappeared again, she must have achieved immortality!"

The discussions were endless. In the spirit realm behind the Veil of Realms, Ye Fan saw the Imperial Jade Codex emit a strange light, revealing the scene in the Big Dipper.

"It's the bell that's ringing, resonating with this codex, allowing me to see the Big Dipper. Perhaps, I can use this to contact the outside world", Ye Fan mused, thinking it was feasible.

He activated the Life Soil technique and used the Imperial Jade Codex to contact Ren Ran and the others.

"Are you alive or dead, and how are you still alive?" Black Sovereign's dog head immediately filled the codex, his eyes wide as copper bells.

"You're still alive, so why would I be dead?" Ye Fan's mouth twitched, then added, "Don't worry, even if you die, I won't."

After a brief exchange, Ye Fan quickly explained his situation and thoughts.

Ren Ran agreed to use the Imperial Bell of Donghuang to guide him and the Tianxuan Holy Land back.

"Six thousand years ago, the first great sanctuary of the Big Dipper returned from the heavens. I wonder what expressions those ancient clans will have when they see it. Who says humans have no sages?" A passerby named John was excited, feeling he had witnessed a major event.

Soon after, representatives from several ancient imperial clans met with human forces, and after discussions, they decided to hold a grand gathering of the ten thousand clans at the Yaochi Sanctuary.

This was a shocking announcement, closely related to Ren Ran's earlier use of the Imperial Bell of Donghuang to intimidate the ancient clans.

Just before the gathering, someone was about to do something significant.

"The Veil of Realms and the spirit realm were both created by my aunt to benefit all. However, she left hastily, leaving some small problems. Lost souls, I will guide you back."

Ren Ran activated the Imperial Bell of Donghuang, cut her wrist, and dripped her chaotic holy blood onto the bell.

At that moment, the Imperial Bell of Donghuang fully awakened, its divine light illuminating the nine heavens and ten earths. The bell's sound echoed throughout the universe, directly opening the Veil of Realms.

The great principles resonated, creating various phenomena, and a golden path extended deep into the spirit realm, leading into the abyss.

The Imperial Jade Codex resonated with the Imperial Bell of Donghuang, and the suppression in the abyss vanished. Under Ye Fan's leadership, the Tianxuan Holy Land's people walked the golden path back to the Big Dipper.

The entire Tianxuan Holy Land landed on the desolate land of the Northern Region, in the vast pit where the ancient mine once stood. The auras of several sages erupted, causing the heavens and earth to shake.

As soon as they returned, disciples began breaking through their cultivation bottlenecks, achieving breakthroughs, and the light of tribulation almost formed a continuous sheet.

Not to mention, the Tianxuan Holy Land's nearly-Great Sage ancestor, suppressed for six thousand years, finally broke through the Great Sage barrier and ascended through the Great Sage tribulation outside the realm.

This truly stunned the Primordial Ten Thousand Clans, leaving them speechless.

They hurriedly asked the human forces if this was also a show of power, and if so, it was incredibly successful.

But to their surprise, the human forces were even more stunned.

Who would have thought that the Tianxuan Holy Land, which had attacked the Path to Ascension six thousand years ago, could return intact? It was simply unbelievable!

No one knew that the Tianxuan Holy Land had a madman who wandered the spirit realm daily and a guardian named Wei Yi who was also a Great Sage.

An ancient clan's Great Sage tried to use an avatar to secretly interfere with the Tianxuan ancestor's ascension, but was dragged into the heavenly tribulation and destroyed, almost affecting his true body.

"Stealthy and cowardly!" A long howl echoed from the Five Elements Mountains in the Eastern Wasteland, and a pale golden blood aura shot into the sky, attacking the exposed ancient clan's Great Sage.

Ye Fan's heart stirred; he sensed the vibration of the Sage Body bloodline.

This was the old sage who had met the Unending Emperor.

After the Unending Emperor achieved enlightenment, he had clung to his last breath, crawling out of his grave, and begged the Unending Emperor to extend his life, reviving his Sage Body bloodline and eventually reaching the Great Sage realm, sealed away in this world to awaken.

Upon his awakening, he immediately engaged in battle with an ancient clan's Great Sage.

"Friends, the grand gathering is about to begin. Please, let's maintain peace", a hoarse voice said, arriving from the Eastern Wasteland to the outer realm, incredibly fast.

This was an old man with an ordinary appearance, more like a human than an ancient clan member, resembling a village elder, dressed in simple clothes.

"Great Sage Hun Tuo!"

Many ancient clans quickly recognized him, exclaiming in surprise.

Great Sage Hun Tuo had once been a formidable figure at the end of the Primordial Era, the only one to challenge the War Sovereign Emperor with a Great Sage identity, though he was suppressed by the Emperor's single hand, it was not shameful.

Who dared to challenge a Primordial Emperor?

Regardless of the outcome, such courage was admirable.

"You are mistaken, friend. To witness the battle between Great Sages from two clans spanning the ages is a great honor! I believe both would feel that even death would be worth it!"

Another excited voice echoed, belonging to a middle-aged man with slightly gray temples. He didn't look particularly impressive at first glance but had a unique aura.

He was also a Great Sage, and a human one at that.

"That's... Great Sage Lu Ren!"

In the Northern Region, at the Yaochi Sanctuary, many disciples recognized this Great Sage, who had witnessed the Donghuang Emperor's enlightenment in the past.

"Ancestor!" John exclaimed, kneeling and bowing repeatedly, overwhelmed with emotion.

He never expected his ancestor to still be alive.

This ancestor was said to have met the Donghuang(End of Chapter)
