139: Nine rings! The supreme monster!

"Clang!!" The fifth bell rang out.

Following that, the sixth bell toll also slowly echoed out.

Bu Guangji's expression had already turned somewhat numb; if he had been incomparably excited at the beginning, his heart was now filled with curiosity.

He was now immensely curious about just how many times the bell would ring for the Yao Beast that had appeared this time!

Six bell tolls was already the highest number to have occurred since the Beast Taming Sect was established!

At this moment, all the Disciples of the Beast Taming Sect put down what they were doing, held their breath, and waited in anticipation for the seventh bell toll!

Lu Xiaolong, of course, would not let them down.

"Clang!!!" The seventh bell toll arrived as expected, piercing through the sky of the Beast Taming Sect.

The entire Sect's Disciples instantly erupted into incredibly excited cheers.

They knew all too well what this meant!

A Yao Beast with seven bell tolls was a legendary ancient wilderness beast!

The Golden Kui Cow was of this level!

If their Beast Taming Sect could subdue such a Yao Beast, their strength would be elevated by an entire level!

"Clang!" Another bell toll interrupted the celebrating Disciples of the Beast Taming Sect.

"No... it couldn't be, right? Could there really be a ninth one??"

"Impossible, impossible. The ninth bell toll would mean that a Supreme race has appeared in Danling State! Absolutely impossible!"

"Supreme races have not been seen since the ancient era; those seen later were all their mixed-blood descendants!"

"Right, it is absolutely impossible for a true Supreme race to appear! The eighth bell toll should already be the limit."

Bu Guangji's expression changed repeatedly; he now immensely longed for the ninth bell toll to ring out.

But at the same time, he was terrified of the ninth bell toll ringing out!

If it were the eighth bell toll, it would represent a mixed-blood of a Supreme race, and if their Beast Taming Sect spared no cost and used all their hidden means...

...and called upon other Sects to help, there would be a high probability of subduing it.

But if the ninth bell toll rang out, that would mean a true Supreme race!

Such as a true Dragon, true Phoenix, Kunpeng, Qilin, and so on...

He did not have the slightest confidence in succeeding!

After all, who could understand the full circumstances of a true Supreme Demon Beast?

Nowadays, information about them has long since become incredibly fragmented.

Since they haven't appeared from the ancient era until now, the records naturally became fewer and fewer.

But if it really were a Supreme race, and his Beast Taming Sect truly succeeded in subduing it...

...then his Sect would grow to an incredibly terrifying level!

As long as the Supreme Demon Beast could grow up, he would even have the hope of unifying the Eastern Region!

Therefore, Bu Guangji's heart was incredibly conflicted at this moment!

It did not leave him conflicted for too long; the ninth bell toll suddenly rang out!

All the Disciples of the Beast Taming Sect were silent, just quietly listening to the ninth bell toll.

Bu Guangji, like the Grand Elder, stared at the sky with dull eyes, not knowing what he was thinking about.

After a very long time, Bu Guangji slowly came to his senses.

His expression was incredibly grave, and he slowly muttered to himself:

"This matter is of immense importance! It seems I must invite the Grand Elder to come out of seclusion to make a decision!"

After speaking, his figure flashed and he vanished from the spot.

Inside a secret chamber, a withered old man sat cross-legged. The old man's body was exceptionally thin and weak, as if his essence and spirit had been sucked dry.

His head was bald, without a single hair, and the wrinkles on his face were almost piled up.

At this moment, he was in a deep state of seclusion, having closed off his five senses, completely unable to perceive anything from the outside world.

He had been sitting in withered meditation for another three thousand years.

This person was the Beast Taming Sect's Grand Elder, a legend within the Beast Taming Sect!

Li Kaiyu!

Three thousand years ago, his cultivation had already reached the pinnacle, attaining the Undergoing Tribulation Great Perfection!

In order to Breakthrough to the Yuán Xū Realm, he resigned from his position as Sect Master, locked himself in a secret chamber, and began a life-or-death seclusion!

A full three thousand years!

At this moment, his cultivation was surprisingly at the first level of the Nascent Void!

A hundred years ago, at the moment when his Lifespan was about to end, he finally successfully achieved a Breakthrough to the Yuán Xū Realm!

However, because he had just broken through to the Yuán Xū Realm and his cultivation was still somewhat unstable, he had continued to stay in seclusion to stabilize his cultivation.

Furthermore, he had made up his mind not to come out of seclusion for the time being, as many people in the outside world likely thought that his Lifespan had ended and he had died.

If he hid in the shadows and suddenly revealed himself when the time came, it would surely give those who harbored ill intentions towards the Beast Taming Sect a huge surprise!

But today, his journey of seclusion was interrupted.

The secret chamber door slowly opened, and Bu Guangji walked in with hurried steps.

His appearance was as flustered as could be.

Bu Guangji directly used a spell to wake Li Kaiyu.

Sensing that someone had woken him up, Li Kaiyu no longer kept his five senses closed.

He slowly opened his eyes, which had been closed for three thousand years, looked at Bu Guangji before him, and said with an odd expression:

"Disciple, what matter has made you so flustered?"

Upon hearing the voice, Bu Guangji hurriedly knelt and said:

"Master, it's bad! Something huge has happened!"

Li Kaiyu's expression immediately became tense.

Something huge happened? What huge thing?

Thus, he directly interrupted Bu Guangji's words:

"What huge thing? Did the Wuji Palace attack? Or the Dusheng Academy?"

Bu Guangji shook his head and said:

"No, no, it's neither! Master, it's the Luotian Beast-Seeking Bell..."

"What's wrong with the Luotian Beast-Seeking Bell? Was it stolen by someone? Is it broken?"

Li Kaiyu once again interrupted Bu Guangji's words.

Bu Guangji was speechless...

His master had been in seclusion for three thousand years, but this habit of interrupting others had never changed...

Bu Guangji helplessly said:

"No, Master, listen to me... don't interrupt me again..."

Li Kaiyu's old face revealed an embarrassed smile, and he said sheepishly:

"Okay, okay..."

Being messed around by his master like this, Bu Guangji's nervous state of mind was actually relieved quite a bit.

He cleared his throat and slowly said:

"Master, it's the Luotian Beast-Seeking Bell; it just rang nine times!!!"

"What?!! Nine times?! Why didn't you say such an important thing earlier! Oh my, you're worrying me to death!"

Li Kaiyu shouted and rushed out immediately.

Bu Guangji was speechless... but still followed him.

All the Disciples of the Beast Taming Sect above the Void Refining stage had not yet gathered; they were scattered throughout Beast Taming City, and it would take some time for them to arrive.

Thus, the Beast Taming Sect held an Elder meeting inside first.

All the Elders sat neatly in their respective seats.

Li Kaiyu sat in the Sect Master's seat.

As for Bu Guangji, he had no seat for the time being, so he stood respectfully beside his master.

Li Kaiyu scanned the attendees with his gaze and couldn't help but reveal a knowing smile.

The Elders present now had cultivation levels of at least Mahayana, with over thirty of them in total.
