63: Golden Bell Anomaly

Once the discussion of the Dao began, a thousand years passed in an instant.

Given the difference in their cultivation levels, Hong Yun naturally gained some advantages.

Although the background of a Innate Sacred Being is profound, many reach the Daluo Realm upon their manifestation and birth through their own Legacy, much like the Hong Yun before them, who is already in the Daluo Realm.

However, in front of Qing Wu and Yuan Feng, he was still somewhat lacking.

Nevertheless, Qing Wu did not expect to gain any insights into cultivation from this discussion of the Dao with Hong Yun.

The primary objective was to use this discussion to gain a general understanding of the various Innate Sacred Beings.

Innate Sacred Beings could be considered the favored children of the Primordial World.

They are born in harmony with the Heavenly Dao, favored by the Luck of the Primordial World, and their path of cultivation is incredibly smooth.

Their Origin is closely linked to the Primordial World; one could even say they are a partial manifestation of the Primordial World itself.

No wonder so many Innate Sacred Beings had already been nurtured and existed since the creation of the Primordial World.

Yet they had to wait until the Awakening of the Heavenly Dao to officially step onto the stage of the Primordial World.

For the Primordial World, the existence of Innate Sacred Beings serves as both protectors and balancers.

Coexisting and prospering with the world, every Innate Sacred Being maintains the stability of the Primordial World in their own way.

Born with innate knowledge, they directly carry the brand of the Great Dao's Laws and understand the essence of the rules from birth.

From this perspective, that Hongjun, who could make many Innate Sacred Beings address him as Dao Ancestor, might truly not be a bad person.

After all, if it were just one or two, it would be one thing, but if all Innate Sacred Beings thought so, it spoke volumes.

After the discussion of the Dao ended, the few of them began to talk about this Hundred Thousand Great Mountains region.

Looking at the desolate scenery around him, Hong Yun couldn't help but sigh, "The Evil Qi here is exceptionally heavy, truly rare. I have traveled the Primordial World for many years and have never seen such a malevolent place."

Yuan Feng said indifferently, "You did not experience the Beast Calamity, so naturally you do not know the tragic state of this place."

"Beast Calamity?" A hint of curiosity flashed in Hong Yun's eyes.

He had not yet been born at that time and could not witness it with his own eyes, which was a bit of a pity.

Qing Wu briefly recounted the events of the Beast Calamity to him.

Vicious Beasts rampaging, the Primordial World in turmoil, all races uniting to fight the Vicious Beasts, the world shaking, the sun and moon losing their light... Hong Yun listened with constant amazement, "Beast Emperor Shen Ni..."

"No wonder this humble Daoist felt a deep sense of resentment and Evil Qi upon seeing the ruins of that palace!"

Hearing Hong Yun say he had seen Shen Ni's Beast God Palace, Qing Wu and Yuan Feng couldn't help but become curious.

Even during the Calamity, they had not personally witnessed the scene of the Beast Emperor Shen Ni fighting against numerous Chaos Gods and Demons.

But the two supreme treasures he held, the God-Slaying Spear and the World-Destroying Millstone, were well-known existences.

Qing Wu knew that the God-Slaying Spear was rumored to have been obtained by Luo Hou, who used it to comprehend the Great Dao of Slaughter.

However, the World-Destroying Millstone had remained missing. Could it be left within the Beast God Palace?

But after the great war ended, Hongjun and the others would surely have cleaned up the battlefield and would never have left such a supreme treasure behind.

Still, since they were already here, it wouldn't hurt to go and take a look.

"Fellow Daoist Hong Yun, did you really say you had been to the Beast God Palace just now?" Qing Wu asked.

Hong Yun thought for a moment, "Whether it was the Beast God Palace, this humble Daoist does not know."

"I only know it is a battlefield ruin where the resentment is too strong. This humble Daoist did not dare to set foot there. If the two Fellow Daoists come along, perhaps we can go in and investigate."

The two nodded, "Then we shall trouble Fellow Daoist to lead the way."

At this mention, Hong Yun perked up, "Rest assured, this humble Daoist remembers it very clearly."

The three immediately took action. Hong Yun led the way with great enthusiasm, his crimson cloud sleeves fluttering in the wind, looking particularly striking in the dim world.

Ascending the undulating mountains, the crisp sound of bones breaking came from beneath their feet from time to time.

Some of those skeletons, weathered by time, still maintained their ferocious postures from when they were alive.

This fellow Hong Yun still maintained his carefree manner, walking and looking around as if this weren't a malevolent place at all.

Regarding this, Qing Wu and Yuan Feng were too lazy to say anything to him.

As they went deeper, the surrounding Evil Qi became even more dense.

But these naturally couldn't stop them.

Qing Wu summoned the lidi firelight banner and the Profound Origin Water Control Flag.

The two banners flickered with different lusters as they circled around, completely repelling and dispersing the surrounding Evil Qi.

They spent several more centuries traveling.

Suddenly, they noticed that the Evil Qi in a certain spot ahead had become significantly thinner. Hong Yun's eyes lit up as he said excitedly, "Could it be that another Spirit Treasure is being born?"

He knew about the phenomenon when the Profound Origin Water Control Flag was born earlier.

It was precisely because he was attracted to watch the commotion that he suffered that undeserved misfortune.

The scene this time was very similar to when the Profound Origin Water Control Flag was born, which couldn't help but make Hong Yun somewhat pleasantly surprised.

Who wouldn't like a treasure being born?

Yuan Feng also sensed slightly upon hearing this, but did not perceive any aura of a treasure being born.

"No, this aura doesn't seem like a Spirit Treasure, it's more like..."

Before the words could finish, a clear and melodious sound came from ahead.

The sound was like the flowing of a clear spring, cleansing the soul, with the effect of calming the Divine Soul and eliminating fatigue.

Furthermore, under the constant echoing of the sound, the surrounding Evil Qi actually receded a bit more.

At this moment, the Golden Bell at Qing Wu's waist also reacted, emitting sounds of resonance, which made him quite pleasantly surprised.

Could it be that the Golden Bell's Karma is to be settled here?

The three followed the sound and saw a small beast standing tall on a natural stone platform.

Its four hooves were treading in mysterious steps; with every step, a circle of green ripples appeared on the ground.

With its cry, the power of the Earth Veins was slowly drawn out, purifying the surrounding Evil Qi bit by bit.

"It's actually a Lu Shu!" Hong Yun exclaimed in surprise. "Legend says the cry of this beast can repair Earth Veins and purify filth. Seeing it today, it truly lives up to its reputation."

Yuan Feng also heard the resonance of the Golden Bell caused by the Lu Shu's cry just now, so she turned her gaze toward Qing Wu.

At this time, Qing Wu was also secretly lost in thought.

"Lu Shu!" He also had some impression of it.

Although its name was Lu Shu, it had nothing to do with deer.

It looked like a horse with a white head, patterns like a tiger, and a red tail, and its voice was like a song—this described the small beast before them.

The Lu Shu noticed the arrival of the three, but did not panic; its cries only became slightly more hurried.

"This fellow has some spirituality; being born in such a malevolent place is truly rare."

Hong Yun curiously wanted to get closer, but was stopped by Qing Wu: "Don't be in a hurry, it is maintaining a Formation; it is not suitable to interrupt now."

"Let us first see what Divine Ability it possesses."

Hearing this, Hong Yun also withdrew his steps, and the three of them stood there, waiting for this exotic beast to display its Divine Ability.
