131: When the bell rings, everything surrenders!

Kunlun Mountain.

After breaking through to the Fourth Rank, Xia Fan took the opportunity to stabilize his realm, and then began refining the eastern emperor bell in Kunlun Mountain, his heart surging with excitement.

When he brought out the treasure, a misty aura, both sacred and ancient, instantly diffused from it.

The eastern emperor bell was as massive as a mountain, its body round and heavy, with a shimmering surface engraved with the creatures of heaven and earth, and the stars and seas; birds and beasts roared within, and the bell’s body was inlaid with gold and jade, with flashes of cold light sparkling throughout.

Between the bell’s swings, it was as if the Heavenly River hung inverted and the Star River flowed, a single glance revealing its extraordinary nature.

Xia Fan admired it for a moment, then immediately began refining the eastern emperor bell without delay.

As time passed, his connection with the eastern emperor bell gradually deepened until he finally mastered it.

Buzz—

Feeling a silent ripple erupt, Xia Fan clearly sensed that a close connection had been established between him and the eastern emperor bell. When he inspected it with his soul, he was startled, then filled with pleasant surprise, “Bell Spirit World!”

Upon closer inspection, Xia Fan discovered that inside the eastern emperor bell, there was a vast space, boundless and seemingly capable of evolving. “I didn’t expect that the eastern emperor bell could actually create a world within it!”

Such an extraordinary method naturally drew his continuous exclamations, as the massive space inside this bell was not just for show; it could also house countless living beings!

This was equivalent to carrying an enormous storage space with him!

Clang!

Out of curiosity, Xia Fan struck the eastern emperor bell heavily, causing its body to tremble instantly.

The bell’s sound was melodious.

The terrifying defensive power of this bell was almost invincible, practically impenetrable by anyone.

However, he also believed that he didn’t actually need to hide.

“With the eastern emperor bell in hand, and its chime bringing all things to submission, will I still need to hide then?”

“All the spirits of this world are engraved upon the bell’s body; it is a natural suppression.”

Xia Fan knew in his heart that with this item, his safety was guaranteed, and the eastern emperor bell could be used for both offense and defense. He could use it to perform spatial displacement or suppress a region of space.

After just a simple attempt, he was pleasantly surprised to find that within the suppressed space, time could barely flow. If he were an existence that could grow stronger simply by cultivating spiritual energy, he might be able to suppress himself in a realm, using the slowly flowing time within the eastern emperor bell to rapidly advance later on.

After briefly understanding all the capabilities of the eastern emperor bell, Xia Fan couldn’t help but smile, “Now, even if I face Fifth-Rank or even Sixth-Rank powerhouses, I will be fearless!”

“As expected of the eastern emperor bell, it can bring me such a terrifying boost.”

In the time that followed, Xia Fan was not in a hurry to refine Yu Mian Fox’s Banana Fan.

Judging from Yu Mian Fox’s use, the Banana Fan only generated gusts of strong wind, which could be used to restrict enemies, but it wasn’t particularly powerful. Its specific miraculous uses would only be known after further refinement and exploration.

“Little fellow, let’s go!”

Casting all other thoughts aside, Xia Fan called out to the Magic Cat, then activated the eastern emperor bell, using its spatial displacement ability to directly traverse the void and arrive at Yunxia Mountain.

“This is…”

In an instant, a large expanse of dark clouds suddenly descended. When the beasts looked up, they saw the ancient giant bell in the sky, radiating an extremely majestic aura, which immediately surprised Ta Mu, King Kong, and the other beasts. “Such an exotic treasure has descended upon Yunxia Mountain, but why have we never received any news before?”

Under the suspicious gazes of the beasts, Xia Fan and the Magic Cat appeared simultaneously. Then, Xia Fan put away the giant bell, officially appearing before the beasts.

“It’s Boss!”

Immediately, Yuan Da Li exclaimed, instantly causing the other beasts to react, then prostrate themselves, their hearts filled with awe.

The beasts in Yunxia Mountain suddenly realized that their Great King’s aura was truly terrifying, so much so that it suppressed them to the point where they dared not even breathe, and this was without Xia Fan intentionally releasing his pressure.

“Welcome back, Great King!”

After reacting, Ta Mu was the first to kowtow, shouting excitedly, “Great King’s reign is eternal, his strength greatly increased! His aura arrived before his body, truly worthy of being our Great King, making us willingly submit!”

Hearing this, Xia Fan raised an eyebrow, always feeling that this fellow’s words were strange. After some inquiry, he learned that Ta Mu had recently become addicted to mobile phones and often imitated some of the ways of speaking found there, making his speech rather odd.

“Congratulations, Great King, on your successful breakthrough and further advancement in strength.”

With Ta Mu leading the way, the other beasts also loudly praised, each eager to spout out all the phrases they had learned. “Great King must be unrivaled in the world now, right?”

“Such a powerful aura! It seems he must have broken through to the Fourth Rank. Now, I’m afraid no beast can keep up with the Great King’s speed. We truly admire him immensely.”

“When the Great King appears, won’t all four seas submit?”

“Following the Great King is the best choice for us; no one can separate us in the future…”

“Alright, alright!”

Seeing them getting more and more outlandish, Xia Fan quickly stopped them, then scanned the beasts and asked, “During my absence, have you all cultivated diligently?”

“Reporting to Great King, those who had already broken through to the Third Rank have all improved and not slacked off, and those who were in the process of breaking through to the Third Rank have now all succeeded.”

Ta Mu answered first, as he was quick-witted and spoke coherently. The other beasts quietly waited on the side.

Seeing this, Xia Fan nodded with great satisfaction, as there were now ten beasts of Third Rank and above on Yunxia Mountain.

This quality could be said to completely surpass the so-called forbidden zone of Kunlun Mountain.

If they wanted to expand outwards, no place could stop them.

“Hmm, it seems that in addition to your cultivation, you have also managed the Seven-Colored Valley very well.”

Xia Fan came to the tian yuan fruit tree, water spirit fruit tree, and other heavenly treasures, and seeing that they were already laden with fruit and there was no debris nearby, he nodded in satisfaction. He then picked these spirit fruits and distributed them one by one to the beasts, “Consider this a small reward for you all.”

“Thank you, Great King!”

“Great King’s benevolence, we have no way to repay, only to…”

The beasts were once again excited, expressing their tearful gratitude to Xia Fan, while he was already looking at the Bloodthirsty Demonic Vine.

This powerful plant’s strength was also terrifying. With its current power, it could even block the Bull Demon who had forcibly broken through to the Fourth Rank earlier.

A surge of spontaneous pride instantly filled Xia Fan’s heart, “From now on, Yunxia Mountain is impregnable!”
