Chapter 723 - 505: Bearing Ten Thousand Dao, the Use of Bell Attraction
This is a transformation, an evolution, a correction and sublimation of the Dao. The benefits obtained cannot be compared to mere cultivation improvement.
Wei Fan held his breath, concentrating on the process of the Dao patterns’ sublimation.
"Boom boom..."
The fist-sized object pulsated like a heart, emitting a huge roar. With each pulse, a circle of colorful ripples would spread out, seeping into his limbs and bones.
His flesh and blood seemed to be burning, surging with various Innate Essence Qi. The True Skill Mark of Nine-Nine was activated, the Dao Celestial Sound thundered, and the Nine Heavens Kunpeng Body was also operating spontaneously.
The Scripture of the Three Emperors was wildly circulating, refining the colorful ripples. The Dao power became more mysterious, and the Dao in the Sea of Consciousness was affected, emitting a dazzling brilliance, as if it was about to transform into a real great Dao.
In Wei Fan’s ears, there were recitations of all the Divine Skills he had cultivated. However, he did not feel noisy at all; rather, there was a feeling of all Divine Skills merging into one, bringing a sense of joy.
The light spot that was nurturing the Divine Abilities was also shining at this moment, absorbing the colorful ripples and glowing like a cauldron.
"Ancient Martial Arts are truly marvelous!"
Wei Fan couldn’t help but marvel. The Martial Arts of today have created a prosperous Martial Dao, yet in terms of intricacy, they cannot compare to Ancient Martial Arts.
The greatest feature of contemporary Martial Arts is their complete system, with a low threshold for cultivation.
Ancient Martial Arts were diverse, each with its own characteristics. Many had ridiculously high thresholds. Body Refining has been passed down to this day not because of its immense power, but because of its low threshold.
The Golden Bell Shield is obviously different. This Martial Art is truly marvelous. After practicing it for so long, he finally understands why it was lost and why almost no one cultivates it anymore.
He has spent over ten million power cultivating the Golden Bell Shield, yet after the True Qi Ninth Layer, this Martial Art no longer enhances cultivation.
Even if this Martial Art can cultivate a miraculous Golden Bell, what does it matter? Even the most remarkable person won’t live long enough to see this Martial Art enhance cultivation again before becoming dust.
Additionally, the records related to the cultivation technique gradually faded with the passage of time, making it even less likely for someone to cultivate it.
As time passed and power was continually added, finally those Dao patterns stopped evolving, and Wei Fan’s body no longer produced new Dao patterns, as if everything had reached its limit, and the colorful ripples also disappeared.
"Clang!"
Finally, with a sound like a bell, a flood of golden light spread within Wei Fan, and the fist-sized object returned to its appearance of a Golden Bell.
However, when Wei Fan observed with his Heart Spirit, the appearance of the Golden Bell was no longer the same as before.
The Tiger Soul and Dragon Soul, and even the Three-legged Golden Crow, had all disappeared, along with all those phantoms. The entire Golden Bell became more restrained and returned to its original simplicity; even the Dao patterns were gone.
Though it became ordinary, when Wei Fan sensed it with his Heart Spirit, he could feel a profound and vast power that could erupt with earth-shattering might at any moment.
[Eight million years of power, your Ten Thousand Spirits Bell has evolved into the Ten Thousand Dao Bell, which carries all Daos and can harness the Power of Ten Thousand Dao.]
[Ten Thousand Dao Bell (Entry Level)]
[Ordinary Power: 1.36 million years]
[Martial Saint’s Power: 17,500 years]
"Harnessing the Power of Ten Thousand Dao!"
Wei Fan’s gaze rested on these big characters, knowing that the eight million years of power were not wasted. Despite having practiced for so long, he had only comprehended about a dozen to twenty Daos, far from comprehending ten thousand.
Converging the Power of Ten Thousand Dao into one strike, even a Martial Emperor Powerhouse would have to avoid its sharpness.
Of course, this is just speculation, as there is no Martial Emperor Powerhouse here to test it on.
Feeling confident, Wei Fan soon stopped paying attention to the state of the Ten Thousand Dao Bell and instead checked his own strength.
With the evolution of the Ten Thousand Spirits Bell, although his realm did not improve significantly, his overall strength experienced a dramatic increase.
If he were to go against Wang Tai again, he wouldn’t need to use the Nine Heavens Kunpeng Body, such a Martial Emperor’s Secret Technique, or even rely on physical strength alone; he estimated that merely with Primordial Spirit Cultivation paired with ordinary fists and kicks, he could easily overwhelm Wang Tai.
The colorful ripples had elevated him inside and out, including his Primordial Spirit and Dao, which had both been uplifted.
"Let’s try Bell Attraction again!"
Wei Fan felt a stirring in his heart. Now that the Ten Thousand Spirits Bell had evolved into the Ten Thousand Dao Bell, he wondered whether Bell Attraction was still useless.
He had speculated that Bell Attraction might be a Secret Technique to harness the Golden Bell’s strength, akin to the Martial Emperor Clan’s methods for harnessing the power of Emperor’s Soldiers.
Previously, it hadn’t been used, possibly because the Ten Thousand Spirits Bell hadn’t reached a certain level, making Bell Attraction entirely useless.
If Bell Attraction could be effective, it would be quite convenient for him. In the future, when needing to use the power of the Ten Thousand Dao Bell, there would be no need to expose the existence of the Ten Thousand Dao Bell.
This would be one advantage, and another would be controlling the output of power. Often, the use of the Golden Bell is inconvenient, not just because of fear of exposure, but also because of its uncontrollable power. The indiscriminate attacks, aimed at everyone nearby, whether friend or foe, could target anyone around him besides himself.
The wilderness is fine, but in places with people, it can’t be used at all.
In a single thought, Wei Fan activated the Bell Attraction Heart Method, and his hands traced out mysterious trajectories as his heart spirit communicated with the Ten Thousand Dao Bell within him.
The next moment, a terrifying power appeared in his hands, and just a wisp of its aura leaked out, instantly tearing a gap in the array he had set up, causing the heavens and earth to change color.
"It’s done!"
Wei Fan was overjoyed, quickly withdrawing the power of the Ten Thousand Dao Bell. In the future, if he encounters experts from the Martial Emperor Family or the Martial Emperor Clan who summon the power of Emperor’s Soldiers, he now has a secret technique to counter them.
After repairing the array, he calculated with his fingers and realized that two days had already passed.
Wei Fan didn’t continue to close off, but first made some food before resuming cultivation, essentially using up his Martial Saint’s power.
This time, however, he did not evenly distribute the seventeen thousand years of Martial Saint’s power between the Nine-Nine True Skill and the Scripture of the Three Emperors, but planned to add it all to the Scripture of the Three Emperors to enhance his primordial spirit cultivation.
He planned to retaliate against the Wang Family but did not intend to use the identity of Wei Fan. After experiencing several battles, he understood how terrifying it was to break through to Nourishing Spirit in less than three months.
If this news were to spread, the Martial Emperor Family might indeed send a powerhouse with Emperor’s Soldiers to kill him. As the saying goes, "The tallest tree in the forest is bound to be blown down by the wind," it’s better to stay low-key.
Figures like Xuanyuan Peak began hiding from their teenage years, and now, over two thousand years old, they’re still forced to hide. The situation in the Five Great Domains isn’t as simple as it seems on the surface, there’s no need to attract worldwide attention just to show off, as long as revenge is achieved.
Therefore, he plans to conceal his body ascension cultivation, construct an identity that others can’t associate with himself, and then go to Xining Continent to retaliate against the Wang Family.
The best way is to enhance his primordial spirit cultivation and then practice cultivation techniques to change his aura, making people think he’s an expert avenging Wei Fan.
Soon, the panel began to flicker, his personal Dao in the sea of consciousness began glowing, absorbing the power of the Great Path to consolidate.
At the same time, the tentacles attached to his primordial spirit gleamed, the essence of the Dao infusing into his primordial spirit, and Dao fragments flowed through his heart.
His primordial spirit swelled as if breathing, his willpower rapidly increased, the Wind and Thunder Wings spread wide, accepting the infusion of the essence of the Dao.
All at once, Wei Fan added all seventeen thousand and five hundred years of power to the Scripture of the Three Emperors, raising his Dao by five hundred and eighty feet.
"Still not at the mid-Dharma phase!"
With seventeen thousand five hundred years of power expended, his Dao was only over eighteen hundred feet tall, still more than a hundred feet short of two thousand feet.
But it was enough; his various potentials had been further released. Even if his Dao hadn’t reached two thousand feet, he was confident he wouldn’t lose to any Dharma Martial Saint. As for Great Saint powerhouses, he couldn’t yet contend with them relying solely on his strength.
"Let’s first see the outside information!"
Having been absent for a few days, Wei Fan took out the Communication Jade Token, and indeed, someone had sent him messages.
The first was from Lu Shun’an, and the content was simple, just informing him that the information he needed had been gathered, and asking whether he wanted to return to the Holy City to retrieve it, or have Lu Shun’an deliver it.
"I’ll come to retrieve it myself!"
He immediately replied to Lu Shun’an because he planned to return to the Holy City once to create a new identity, thus the previous cultivation techniques naturally couldn’t be used.
The Four Symbols Heaven-Sundering Slash and Eight Desolates and Six Harmonies Demon Suppression Fist were his trademark martial techniques and couldn’t be displayed, not to mention the Martial Arts he acquired from the Demon Hunter Organization.
So he planned to go to the Holy City to acquire some martial techniques, then go to Xining to seek revenge on the Wang Family, and since the Wang Family also ran businesses in the Holy City, he wouldn’t spare any when retaliating.
The Wang Jin Yao whom he had previously dispatched was an expert sent by the Wang Family to reside in the Holy City, so he’ll first target the Wang Family’s stronghold in the Holy City and seize their goods.
Continuing to browse, the second message was from Li Jianchen: "Be careful, Shi Yun is talking about punishing you for dereliction of duty."
"Dereliction of duty?"
Wei Fan raised his eyebrows; in just two or three days, Shi Yun already knew he had left Shuiyun City, likely because something had happened there.
He communicated with Li Jianchen, and indeed, something had happened in Shuiyun City. A Great Saint powerhouse led a demon army to Shuiyun City, demanding the human race hand over the killer of the Purple-Bearded Golden Flood Dragon and the Golden-winged Sparrow Mother, and they had already fought twice.
The Black Dragon Great Saint had managed to hold back the Great Saint of the Demon Race, but hadn’t killed the opponent. The battle was still ongoing, and the Holy City had sent a Town Territory Envoy to assist.
Since he hadn’t appeared all this time, Shi Yun intended to accuse him of dereliction of duty.
Wei Fan wasn’t particularly concerned; the Demon Hunter Organization wasn’t something Shi Yun could dictate alone, and with the Black Dragon Great Saint standing in for him, there was no substantiating dereliction of duty.
"Be careful, battles have broken out across all continents, forcing the human race to hand you over. According to Demon Hunter Organization intelligence, members of the Demon Heaven Alliance have already infiltrated human territory to find you, so make sure not to reveal yourself."
Li Jianchen also conveyed this message, the demon fiends were now focusing on him, aiming to extinguish this prodigious talent.
"Alright, you be careful too. If they can’t find me, they might come after you!"
Setting aside the Communication Jade Token with a somber expression, Wei Fan found himself besieged by both internal and external threats—human factions wanted him dead, and the demon fiends were also keen to prevent his growth.
However, as long as he didn’t reveal himself, there wasn’t much issue for the time being. First, he’d go avenge the Wang Family, using some power before handling the demon fiends.
