Chapter 127

The lair of the Demon Master Kill Kun Peng was deep within the Sea of North Darkness.

Niu Mowang Peng bringing that black-robed person here, it seems he really is going to see Kill Kun Peng.

Niu Mowang Peng and the black-robed person stopped above the ice field.

"This is the place."

Niu Mowang Peng pointed to a patch of ice below that looked completely unremarkable and spoke.

The black-robed person did not speak, but merely scanned the ice layer below with their gaze hidden beneath the hood, seemingly probing for something.

After a moment, they let out a cold laugh: "You hid it quite deeply. If not for you leading the way, who would have thought that the entrance to that place would actually be beneath this ice field?"

"That is natural; nowadays, apart from my Master, that venerable elder, no one else in the Three Realms knows of this secret realm."

"Enough, stop the chatter and hurry up and open the entrance."

The black-robed person urged.

Niu Mowang Peng nodded and said no more.

He flew down, stood upon that patch of ice, and his hands began to form seals rapidly.

Golden runes flew from his fingertips, branding themselves onto the ice layer beneath his feet, forming a profound and complex array diagram.

As the array diagram formed, the entire ice field began to tremble violently.

"Boom—!"

Accompanied by a loud noise, the ice field beneath Niu Mowang Peng's feet actually slowly split open, revealing a massive fissure.

"So that acquired spiritual treasure was actually hidden inside a secret realm!"

Su Chen felt a sudden sense of relief in his heart; it was fortunate that he had followed them.

Otherwise, even if he knew the location, he would have no way to enter the secret realm.

"But how could the Heavenly Secret Tianji Baojian give me this guidance? Could it be that the Heavenly Secret Tianji Baojian even calculated that I would run into Niu Mowang Peng on this trip?"

Su Chen knew that the guidance the Heavenly Secret Tianji Baojian gave him always operated on the premise that he could obtain the item.

Just like the previous remains of Yang Mei Daxian and the True Sun Fire.

But this time, Su Chen could not imagine how he would be able to obtain that acquired spiritual treasure right under the noses of Kill Kun Peng and that black-robed person.

However, since the Heavenly Secret Tianji Baojian had never failed, Su Chen decided to follow them in and see; perhaps there would be a turning point.

Just as Su Chen was calculating in his heart.

Niu Mowang Peng and the black-robed person ahead were already prepared to enter that secret realm.

"The entrance is open; let us go."

Niu Mowang Peng said to the black-robed person, then took the lead and leaped into that deep fissure.

The black-robed person did not hesitate either, following closely behind.

After they both entered, that massive fissure in the ice layer began to slowly close again.

Watching, the fissure was about to close completely.

In order not to be discovered, Su Chen waited for a while, and at the very last instant before the fissure closed, he rushed in.

Just as Su Chen entered the secret realm.

Above the ice field, that massive fissure also closed completely, as if it had never appeared at all.

Everything returned to calm.

After entering the ice field fissure, Su Chen only felt a powerful spatial force acting upon his body.

His senses were temporarily sealed by the spatial force.

When he recovered his senses, he discovered that he had already arrived in a completely unfamiliar world.

Here, it was a dim world, with no sun, moon, or stars overhead.

Beneath his feet was a shattered earth.

Everywhere there were massive craters and broken mountain ranges.

The air was permeated with an archaic aura, as well as a trace of unique Daoist rhyme.

"Is this the secret realm hidden beneath the ice field?"

Su Chen looked around.

The laws of this world were completely different from the outside world.

The space of this world seemed to be shrouded by an invisible force, becoming immensely solid.

The flow of time here also seemed to be different from the outside.

"Such powerful force, to be able to affect both space and time simultaneously."

Regarding things that could affect both time and space, the name of a supreme treasure flashed through Su Chen's mind.

"Chaos Bell!"

The Chaos Bell was one of the three treasures of the Creation, possessing the might to suppress the Primordial World, the power to twist the space-time of the heavens, the function to evolve the profound mysteries of the Heavenly Dao, and the ability to refine earth, water, fire, and wind.

Legend had it that at the end of the decisive battle between the Liches, Emperor Taiyi fought several Ancestral Witches, eventually detonating his Primordial Spirit to perish together with the Ancestral Witches.

And the Chaos Bell, in that earth-shattering explosion, also went missing.

Some said it had been completely destroyed, while others said it had escaped into endless space-time, waiting for a fated person.

Su Chen had never imagined that he would actually feel the supreme might of the Chaos Bell here.

"Could it be... that the Chaos Bell is here?" Su Chen guessed boldly.

But soon, Su Chen dismissed this guess.

With Kill Kun Peng's personality, if the Chaos Bell were truly here, he would absolutely not let a second person know.

"However, this place is definitely related to the Chaos Bell," Su Chen thought to himself.

Just as Su Chen was filled with doubts, he suddenly heard the voice of the black-robed person coming from afar.

He hurriedly calmed his mind and quietly crept toward the direction the voice came from.

He saw that not far away, Niu Mowang Peng and that black-robed person were hovering in mid-air, conversing.

Su Chen did not dare to get too close and could only eavesdrop from a distance.

He heard the black-robed person say excitedly in their hoarse voice:

"There really is an imprint of the Chaos Bell here. Hahaha, that old bird Kill Kun Peng really didn't lie to me! I, Daoist Mosquito, have been tortured by the divine abilities of Jie Yin for so long, and finally, I can be liberated!"

Niu Mowang Peng heard this and let out a cold snort, saying: "My Master, that venerable elder, what kind of status does he have? How could he deceive you."

"Daoist Mosquito."

Hearing this name, Su Chen's heart stirred.

Although this name had never appeared in the Journey to the West world, it was renowned in the much earlier ancient Primordial era.

Legend had it that when heaven and earth were first created, within the Netherworld Blood Sea, besides the Ancestor Ming He, the first mosquito in heaven and earth was also conceived.

This mosquito was Daoist Mosquito.

He was born with the innate divine ability to devour all things and was immensely cruel.

His most famous deed was during the Great Investiture of the Gods, when he snuck into the Western Sect and forcibly sucked away three grades of the Twelve-Grade Merit Jin Lian of the Daoist Jie Yin, causing it to drop to nine grades and resulting in a massive loss of the Western Sect's fortune.

Because of this, he was hunted by the two Western Sages for countless years, eventually going missing.

Never did he expect that this legendary fierce person was actually still alive!

And he had even colluded with the Demon Master Kill Kun Peng.

Su Chen felt his scalp go numb.

The amount of information today was simply too massive.

First the Demon Master Kill Kun Peng, and now a Daoist Mosquito has popped up...

Every single one of these was a top-tier big shot from the legends!

"What exactly are they trying to do?"

Su Chen suppressed the shock in his heart and continued to eavesdrop.

He heard that Daoist Mosquito let out a strange laugh and said: "Little bird, where is your Master? I didn't come here just to see this imprint of the Chaos Bell."

"I agreed to come here because I want him to help me use the power of the Chaos Bell's imprint here to help me suppress the three-grade golden lotus within my body, and then, completely excise it from my body!"
