Chapter 432: Arrival at the Mystic Realm, Alarm Bells Ring!
December 19, 2024
"Who exactly is this evil demon?"
At this moment, Elder Golden Bell looked truly pitiful.
His face was as pale as paper, and his entire body seemed to be broken and battered.
His body was covered in a mixture of blood and dirt.
There was not even a trace left of his previous confident and vibrant self from when he had achieved the Golden Core Realm.
As he gazed in the direction where Lu Qing had disappeared, the fear in Elder Golden Bell's eyes remained undiminished.
That was too powerful! The might of the colossal palm strike was truly terrifying!
It was as if the heavens were collapsing, withering the strong and destroying the weak, an unstoppable force that swept away everything in its path.
Even now, Elder Golden Bell couldn't help but tremble as he recalled it.
He couldn't fathom how, when the heavens had only just begun to revive, such a fearsome figure could exist.
Could it be that this evil demon was also an alien from beyond the heavens? But if so, why did they have such a deep grudge against their Hanging Mountain, seeking to exterminate them completely?
Elder Golden Bell couldn't understand this, but he knew he had to inform the Abbot immediately.
Unfortunately, in preparation for his tribulation, he had temporarily entrusted all his external items, including his communication jade talisman, to Elder Crimson Heart for safekeeping.
Now, Elder Crimson Heart's body was buried deep underground, and there was no way to retrieve it.
Thinking of Elder Crimson Heart and the others, a hint of sorrow flashed in Elder Golden Bell's eyes.
The evil demon's sinister technique was too terrifying; under such immense power, Elder Crimson Heart and the others had no chance of survival.
Even he, having achieved the Golden Core Realm and self-destructing his Lifebound Golden Bell to protect himself at the last moment, only to deceive the evil demon's senses with a fake death technique, would likely have perished by now.
With great effort, Elder Golden Bell activated the Mystic Core within his body, which was now dim and nearly dissipated.
He managed to muster a wisp of magical power, absorbing spiritual energy to heal himself.
His injuries were severe, and he needed to recover quickly.
Otherwise, not only would he be unable to open the mystic realm, but his cultivation realm might even regress.
Moreover, he had to hurry. With Elder Crimson Heart and the others dead, their soul lanterns extinguished, the temple would surely be in chaos.
If he didn't return immediately, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Under this intense sense of urgency, Elder Golden Bell's mind became more focused than ever, constantly absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy to heal himself.
The recovery ability of the Golden Core Realm was naturally formidable.
After half an hour of healing, Elder Golden Bell felt his injuries had improved significantly.
The nearly dissipated Mystic Core had stabilized once more, allowing him to utilize some magical power.
Feeling he could manage to move, Elder Golden Bell didn't dare to delay.
He immediately channeled his magical power, and his body rose into the air, flying towards a specific direction.
Finally, he stopped at a location where two peaks converged, forming a massive natural gateway.
This colossal gateway exuded an ancient and profound aura, with spiritual and earthly energies subtly converging towards it.
Elder Golden Bell hovered before the gateway, forming intricate hand seals with both hands while simultaneously resonating with the spatial energy within the gateway.
As he continuously formed the hand seals, spatial ripples soon began to emanate from the center of the gateway.
Gradually, a spatial vortex emerged and stabilized.
Once the spatial vortex was fully stabilized, Elder Golden Bell wiped the sweat from his face.
Having suffered severe injuries, he had just managed to recover some of his magical power, only to have it depleted again as he single-handedly opened the mystic realm's entrance.
Nevertheless, he had succeeded in opening it. Elder Golden Bell sighed in relief and was about to step into the spatial vortex.
But the next moment, his body stiffened as a powerful suppressing force immobilized him.
"So, this is the entrance to Hanging Mountain's secret realm, not as hidden as I thought."
A voice from behind caused Golden Bell Elder's eyes to widen in shock, as he recognized the voice of the evil demon.
Golden Bell Elder then felt a hand land on his head, an indescribably powerful magical energy invading his body and splitting into two.
His dantian, mystic core, and even the spirit orifice between his eyebrows were all completely sealed.
Even his soul power was rendered useless.
A figure appeared beside him, and Golden Bell Elder, unable to move, could only glance with his peripheral vision, only to find that it was not the evil demon.
The look of disbelief in Golden Bell Elder's eyes was not lost on Lu Qing, who smiled.
"Old Baldy, did you really think I wouldn't notice you faking your death and hiding beneath the mountain?" Lu Qing said. "I only let you live a little longer to find the entrance to your Hanging Mountain's mystic realm."
Golden Bell Elder's eyes widened again, filled with terror.
Suddenly, he understood Lu Qing's intention.
Seeing the fear in Golden Bell Elder's eyes, Lu Qing nodded, "You're right. I'm going to wipe out your Hanging Mountain and erase it from this world!"
Without waiting for Golden Bell Elder's desperate expression, Lu Qing grabbed his head and turned towards the entrance to the mystic realm.
Using his extraordinary ability, Lu Qing scanned the area and, seeing no signs of danger, stepped into the mystic realm without hesitation, holding Golden Bell Elder.
The scenery shifted and changed.
When Lu Qing's vision cleared, his soul perception immediately activated.
He found himself on a massive platform made of jade, with intricate teleportation array patterns beneath his feet and layers of rolling clouds within reach.
Below was a vast expanse of land.
At that moment, he realized he was on a colossal, majestic mountain peak suspended in mid-air.
"Could it be that the name Hanging Mountain comes from this very place?" Lu Qing wondered, his mind suddenly filled with a peculiar thought.
"Golden... Golden Bell Supreme Elder, what... what's wrong?" a stuttering voice asked from the side.
Lu Qing turned to see two middle-aged monks staring at him in fear, along with the Golden Bell Elder in his grasp.
Unfortunately, their questions went unanswered.
Golden Bell Elder's dantian, mystic core, and spirit orifice were all sealed by Lu Qing, even his entire body's meridians.
Now, he couldn't even communicate through soul transmission.
The two middle-aged monks couldn't understand the meaning behind Golden Bell Elder's desperate gaze, but they could tell he was being restrained by someone.
Combined with the distinctive ghost mask on Lu Qing's face, the two monks instantly realized that this man holding Golden Bell Elder was the ghost-faced demon that had caused such a stir in the temple not long ago.
Recalling the chaos in the temple earlier and someone shouting about the Supreme Elder's soul lantern extinguishing, the two monks immediately understood the situation.
An enemy attack!
The very demon that had forced them to hide in their mystic realm, afraid to venture out, had now directly invaded their headquarters!
One of the middle-aged monks reacted swiftly, immediately using his body technique to rush towards a massive ancient bell hanging nearby.
His blood and energy surged as he struck the bell's clapper with a powerful punch.
DONG!!!
In the next instant, a deafening bell sound rang out, echoing throughout the Hanging Mountain's mystic realm in a short time.
Golden Bell Elder, witnessing this, closed his eyes in despair.
