Chapter 157

Master, I was wrong. Just now I saw the Great Dao Bell hiding in the void, so I secretly sent a thread of divine sense toward it—who knew the Great Dao Bell would suddenly go mad!

Hearing this, Lu Xuan furrowed his brows slightly.

Old Three really has a hundred million hands.

If it weren't for Chen Zhangsheng secretly making a move, he wouldn't have been able to detect where the Great Dao Bell was hiding!

Moreover, just now when Chen Zhangsheng secretly probed the Great Dao Bell, many Nine-Star Emperor Realm ancestors were present, yet they didn't notice either!

This guy is not simple!

Thinking of this.

Lu Xuan said with a light-hearted expression, "Old Three, I can naturally step in to settle this for you. But I think you can also stabilize the Great Dao Bell. Come on."

Chen Zhangsheng looked toward Lu Xuan.

He was slightly stunned.

The master simply had no intention of making a move!

Ah... I actually got seen through.

Looks like they're all thousand-year-old foxes who've read Liaozhai.

From now on I can't test the master anymore, or something will really happen.

Thinking this, Chen Zhangsheng even subtly changed his own thoughts.

He really feared the master knew some secret art that could peek into people's thoughts.

This is no alarmist talk; in the ancient era, there was a certain alien race that could, through its bloodline talent, perceive people's hearts.

However, this bloodline talent is too heaven-defying; that alien race has already been exterminated!

At this moment.

Lu Xuan wore an old-godly calm expression and said, "Zhangsheng, you can stay stationed at Xuan Qing Feng from now on. You also don't want the Great Dao Bell to discover your flaws, right?"

Chen Zhangsheng said, "Master, I'll give it a try."

Lu Xuan said very calmly, "Don't worry, if you can't handle it, when that time comes I will naturally step in."

Chen Zhangsheng said, "Good."

Both were just acting, seeing who could act more convincingly.

But what the master said was also correct.

Today perhaps we can take this opportunity to explore the mysteries of the Great Dao Bell.

Anyway, the master is behind him.

If something really happens, if he can't resolve it, let the master take the blame!

Thinking this, he secretly activated a mysterious power, shooting it toward the Great Dao Bell to suppress its violent aura.

No one noticed.

After several tens of breaths.

The Great Dao Bell's terrifying momentum suddenly stalled; the surging heavenly momentum on it continually weakened, gradually being controlled by the Elder Tian Yuan.

Chen Zhangsheng breathed a sigh of relief and sent a mental message to Lu Xuan: "Master, I have not disappointed your expectations. I have done it."

Lu Xuan said, "Beautiful."

The worry in his heart also settled.

He really worried that Old Three would act a trick on him, forcing him to act.

Chen Zhangsheng had a hundred thoughts; it seems he needed to remind him a bit.

If Chen Zhangsheng had been unable to handle it just now, he could only have used the Eight-Star Emperor Experience Card to forcibly suppress the Great Dao Bell.

But this also proves the terror of the third disciple!

Lu Xuan secretly wondered, what exactly has this Old Three been hiding?

In the system panel, if the question mark beside the realm is revealed, what realm exactly is Old Three?

And at this moment.

Elder Tian Yuan stood in the void, his hand seal shifting, bearing the heavens, surging around him were brilliant Great Emperor Dao patterns; the power of the Great Dao Scripture poured forth like a vast sea toward this heaven and earth, the scene extraordinary, divine radiance filling the sky; Elder Tian Yuan held up the Great Dao Bell with one hand, the firmament roared, the void trembled, appearing invincibly mighty.

Seeing this, many ancestors of other forces all felt relieved.

Just now the pressure the Great Dao Bell exerted on them was too great!

Truly worthy of being the ultimate artifact of the founding ancestor of the Great Dao Sect!

Everyone couldn't help but recall the ancient secret of Nan Huang: once, the founding ancestor of the Great Dao Sect wielded the Great Dao Bell and marched the path to supremacy, cutting down men and Buddhas alike, none could stop him.

Unfortunately, in the end, the ancestor of the Great Dao Bell himself relinquished the supreme fruit...

Not long after.

The Great Dao Bell slowly vanished above the void, and the heavens returned to a clear, azure blue.

The phenomena in the field naturally had long alarmed the many spiritual peaks of the Great Dao Sect.

Countless divine senses and divine knowledge streamed toward the Heavenly Gift Stone Tablet to investigate.

Many peak masters all sent mental messages to the sect leader, asking what had just happened.

The sect leader simply gave a brief explanation.

As for why the Great Dao Bell suddenly went berserk, he also didn't know.

In the field.

Elder Jiujun and the others all broke out in a cold sweat; the situation just now was truly extremely perilous.

The Great Dao Bell erupted with a terrifying momentum, almost as if it were charging straight at them!

Elder Yaquan, Elder Jiujun, and the others exhaled a turbid breath, gave a bitter smile, and looked toward Elder Tian Yuan, saying, "Fortunately it was just a false alarm."

Nan Chenzi wore a displeased expression, looking toward Elder Tian Yuan, "Tian Yuan, shouldn't this matter be given us an explanation? I don't believe the Great Dao Bell would break free of your control and suddenly come slaughtering us!"

Heavenly Origin Ancestor furrowed his brows slightly; he also didn't know what had just happened.

Fortunately, no battle broke out!

At this moment.

Lu Xuan looked at Nan Chenzi and said leisurely, "Could it be because the Great Dao Bell sensed the aura of the Supreme Mystery Sect on Nan Chenzi's Old Ancestor, causing it to suddenly lose control?"

His voice fell!

Everyone stared at Lu Xuan in shock.

There really is this possibility!!

Even the Heavenly Origin Ancestor's eyes lit up.

It can be explained!

After all, in the ancient era, the Great Dao Sect and the Supreme Mystery Sect fought a heaven-shaking war, vying for the Supreme Fruit Position.

The founding ancestor of the Great Dao Sect even carried the Great Dao Bell all the way, slaughtering the Supreme Mystery Sect!

The Great Dao Bell is an ancient supreme artifact, already possessing sentience; although countless ages have passed, when a Nine-Star Emperor Realm powerhouse of the Supreme Mystery Sect suddenly descended upon this Heaven's Gift Stone Tablet, it directly awakened the Great Dao Bell!

In an instant, everyone present turned their gaze to Nan Chenzi.

Nan Chenzi's face turned grim, glaring at Lu Xuan, "Lu Xuan, if you don't know, don't spout nonsense here!"

He really wanted to kick Lu Xuan away.

A mere Qi Practitioner, speaking recklessly here!

At this moment, he wanted to flick his sleeves and leave.

But the Dao Resonance of the Bronze Ancient Hall hasn't been studied yet; leaving just like that would absolutely be a laughingstock.

Nine Jun Old Ancestor saw Nan Chenzi's predicament and immediately smiled, saying, "Dao Friend Nan Chenzi, don't rush. Why the Great Dao Bell lost control, once the Heavenly Origin Ancestor investigates, he will surely give us a satisfactory answer."

Nan Chenzi snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and said, "Hope so."

Heavenly Origin Ancestor looked at the sect leader and sighed, "Send Lu Xuan and the others back to Xuan Qing Feng. It's time to study the Dao Resonance of the Bronze Ancient Hall together."

The sect leader nodded, a divine rainbow rose beneath his feet, lifting Lu Xuan, Chen Zhangsheng, and the four of them, flying toward Xuan Qing Feng.

On the way.

Chen Zhangsheng pondered deeply.

The reason the master just gave is simply flawless!

If it were him, he really wouldn't know how to explain.

As expected of the master!

Lu Xuan wore a calm expression, as if he had long forgotten the earlier turmoil.

Looking at Lu Xuan's expression, Chen Zhangsheng sent a mental message, "We still need to learn from the master."

The master himself is just so calm.

Lu Xuan saw Chen Zhangsheng's expression and lightly smiled, "When facing great matters, have a tranquil spirit; do not believe that the present lacks ancient sages. Tranquility cultivates the self; without tranquility, one cannot reach far."

His voice fell!

The sect leader blinked slightly, then laughed, "Lu Xuan, saying that from your mouth, how come it sounds so awkward?"

Lu Xuan said: "……"

But the three disciples were utterly admiring.

Especially Chen Zhangsheng, he knew the master was pointing at him.

From now on, don't cause trouble!

Although it's not exactly "startling the tiger by shaking the mountain," it also hints to him that, now being the third disciple, he should act like one.

Probing like this is no good for anyone.

Chen Zhangsheng sighed inwardly.

This time, he lost again!

Indeed, he is the third disciple; he can no longer regard himself with the mindset of a Dao Friend.

Indeed, just now he was rash; deep inside, that subtle urge of being a Dao Friend has not yet completely faded.

But how can this do?

He must change.

Moreover, Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen revere the master as a deity.

Any of his movements cannot escape the eyes of the Senior Sister and Second Senior Brother.

【94】 Lu Xuan said: "……"

"I am Chen Zhangsheng, third disciple of Lu Xuan; my Senior Sister is Ji Fuyao, and my Second Senior Brother is Ye Chen."

Chen Zhangsheng silently recited it several times in his heart.

After a moment.

Chen Zhangsheng sent a mental message to Lu Xuan, "Master, did you already anticipate that I could pacify the Great Dao Bell?"

"Naturally. I know exactly how much strength you conceal. On the surface you are a Two-Star Great Emperor, but actually…" Lu Xuan wore a look of everything under control, deliberately drawing out his voice, "Actually your true realm is…"

Before he finished, Chen Zhangsheng immediately urged nervously, "Master, please never say it out!"

Lu Xuan gave a light smile.

Hehe…

He really bluffed the third brother.

Actually, he also doesn't know Chen Zhangsheng's cultivation level.

The system, for some unknown reason, suddenly showed off its mystery.

But this also adds a bit of fun.

And at this time.

Chen Zhangsheng's reverence and awe for Lu Xuan rose again.

As expected, the master knew all his secrets.

"Forever conceal your strength!"

His indestructible golden body seemed... broken before the master.

Soon.

The sect master brought Lu Xuan and four others down onto Xuan Qing Feng.

He looked at Lu Xuan, pondering, "Lu Xuan, what you just said actually makes some sense."

Chen Zhangsheng: "..."

Lu Xuan: "..."

Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen: "..."

A moment of silence.

The sect master gently patted Chen Zhangsheng's shoulder and said earnestly.

"Zhangsheng, although your talent is mediocre, you must work hard at cultivation. Never learn from your master. Lie around, lie around, and you'll lose the will to cultivate, then you'll be ruined."

Chen Zhangsheng nodded heavily, "Sect master, I understand."

Although he said that, Chen Zhangsheng already planned to slack off immediately.

Just now the master resolved the siege; this feeling is too exhilarating!

From now on, his karma can also 'slide' to the master, and then slide onto that nonexistent titan's body.

At that moment.

The sect master showed a 'worthy of teaching' smile, "Zhangsheng, from now on learn more from Fuyao and Ye Chen."

Chen Zhangsheng said, "Yes, sir!"

Shortly after.

Beneath the sect master's feet a divine rainbow rose, he stepped into the void and left Xuan Qing Feng.

Seeing the sect master's back, Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen immediately went up to Lu Xuan, lowered their voices and asked, "Master, did you secretly summon the Great Dao Bell just now?"

Lu Xuan blinked, pointed at Chen Zhangsheng, and said, "It's your third junior brother's doing."

Chen Zhangsheng frowned slightly.

This...

How could the master sell him out?

What happened to the master taking the blame?

Ji Fuyao tilted her snow-white neck, sized up Chen Zhangsheng, wore a look of disbelief, and smiled charmingly, "Master, you're lying again."

Ye Chen also said, "Master, you're joking. How could it be the third junior brother's doing?"

Hearing that, Chen Zhangsheng's mouth corner slightly rose.

At this moment, he truly felt the pleasure of being stained with karma, while karma quietly slipped away.

Exhilarating!

As expected, the master still took the blame.

Lu Xuan wore an indifferent expression; he didn't care.

Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen exchanged a smile.

Ye Chen suddenly lowered her voice, mysteriously asking Chen Zhangsheng, "Third junior brother, do you know the master's true strength?"

Chen Zhangsheng suddenly became interested.

He was also curious just how strong Lu Xuan really is!

Chen Zhangsheng asked, "Second senior brother, how strong is the master?"

Ye Chen wore an expression of awe and reverence, "The master is invincible! Absolutely invincible!"

Chen Zhangsheng said, "Can you be more specific?"

Ye Chen's gaze was deep as she said, "Without giving birth to my master, Nan Huang would be an endless night! Who stands at the peak of the Dao? Upon seeing the master attain the Dao, it becomes void!"

Chen Zhangsheng was slightly shocked.

That is, the master now stands at the pinnacle of cultivation?!

Lu Xuan's face twitched.

What's going on?

How come Ye Chen, as soon as she shows up, starts brainwashing Chen Zhangsheng!

This this this... is great!

Chen Zhangsheng whispered, "The master said he has transcended the river of time; what we face is his avatar!"

Hearing that, Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen were both stunned.

Ji Fuyao's beautiful eyes flowed with divine light as she looked at Lu Xuan, her delicate lips slightly parting, she murmured, "Master, are you just an avatar?"

Lu Xuan's face twitched.

He was actually speechless.

Really, one speaks the truth, two dare to believe it!

Seeing the three disciples acting so seriously, he really couldn't bear to tell them the truth.

Sigh...

This is harder than him having to keep up the act.

Ye Chen firmly believed and analyzed, "Transcending the river of time, if the master says so, then it must be true. Third junior brother, never doubt the master's words."

Chen Zhangsheng put on a solemn expression and said, "I know."

At this moment.

Ji Fuyao's eyes flickered, as if she had realized something; she looked at Chen Zhangsheng, her face absolutely beautiful, her delicate lips slightly parting, and she spoke.

"Junior Brother Zhangsheng, your aptitude is mediocre; being favored by the master might truly be because the master saw your future in the river of time. That's why he took you as a disciple. You should know, our Xuan Qing Feng absolutely has no ordinary people!"

Chen Zhangsheng froze.

So that's it!

No wonder Lu Xuan personally came to White Cliff Prefecture to take him as a disciple!

Thinking of this.

Chen Zhangsheng looked at Lu Xuan and said, "Master, will I achieve longevity in the future?"

Seeing Chen Zhangsheng's determined gaze, Lu Xuan forced himself to say, "You have already transcended longevity!"

"Transcended longevity!"

Chen Zhangsheng stared dumbfounded.

Is my future self really that powerful?

The three continued to whisper.

In a moment, in their eyes Lu Xuan became the Lord of Life and Death, the Lord of Reincarnation, the First Sword of the Heavens, sole arbiter of myriad ages, completely undying and indestructible...

Lu Xuan stood frozen.

When did he become the sole arbiter of myriad ages?

"Anciently, 'three men make a tiger'; now, 'three disciples say their master is invincible.'"

It seems Xuan Qing Feng is toxic.

However, he felt Chen Zhangsheng had an element of acting...

But he also had no intention to inquire further.

Chen Zhangsheng is already his third disciple; there's no escaping.

Lu Xuan knew that Chen Zhangsheng's change of identity would not happen overnight; if he were to now "fully submit" to him, he would also feel it abnormal.

On the other side.

The three finally ended their discussion.

After some "indoctrination" from Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen, Chen Zhangsheng now holds Lu Xuan in greater reverence and awe.

"Master, invincible too!"

Suddenly, Ji Fuyao put on a solemn face and said, "Junior Brother Zhangsheng, alright, now I'll teach you the first lesson of Xuan Qing Feng."

Chen Zhangsheng immediately became interested, "Senior Sister, what is it?"

Ji Fuyao pointed at the thatched hut and said, "Cook!"

Chen Zhangsheng stared dumbfounded.

His inner self resisted!

He wanted to lie flat.

He saw, wasn't there a recliner at the door of the thatched hut?

Was that prepared for him in advance?
