Chapter 1 The Jinwu Ancestral Land

Within the Jinwu ancestral land.

The Jinwu Old Ancestor was pondering the matter of reforging the Chaos Bell.

To reforge a treasure like the Chaos Bell, a treasure of creation, he theoretically couldn't help at all; it mainly relied on the Jinwu True Blood.

However, the steps couldn't be wrong, and what the Jinwu Old Ancestor was thinking about was the steps.

However, just as he was thinking, Lu Changsheng's voice rang out, surprising him.

With a wave of his hand, he opened the ancestral land's gate.

Soon, Lu Changsheng's figure appeared there.

"What brings you here, young friend?"

The Jinwu Old Ancestor asked, somewhat puzzled, wondering why Lu Changsheng had suddenly returned.

"Senior, it's about the Emperor weapons."

Lu Changsheng said. After saying this, he prepared to take out the Emperor weapons, but the Jinwu Old Ancestor sighed and said.

"Indeed, having you gather three hundred and sixty-five Emperor weapons is a troublesome matter, but if you want to reforge the Chaos Bell, they are indispensable. After all, this is a treasure of creation. Of course, if you really can't gather them, I'll help you think of a way, but don't expect too much. At most, I can help you get one or two Emperor weapons."

The Jinwu Old Ancestor said.

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng's goodwill towards the Jinwu Old Ancestor increased a lot. After all, in such a situation, the other party was willing to help him get one or two Emperor weapons, which was already a great help.

Emperor weapons were abundant for Lu Changsheng, but for the Jinwu Old Ancestor, even one was extremely precious, and his willingness to obtain one or two was already the limit.

"Senior, I have already obtained the required Emperor weapons. I've come this time to give them to you. I'm going to the demon race in a few days, so I won't be back for a while."

Lu Changsheng said.

However, upon hearing this, the Jinwu Old Ancestor was slightly stunned, then smiled wryly and said, "Young friend, don't joke around. Just tell me what's on your mind."

The Jinwu Old Ancestor subconsciously thought Lu Changsheng was joking, so he gave a wry smile.

However, Lu Changsheng didn't say anything. Since hearing is believing, then seeing is believing.

Soon, one Emperor weapon after another flew out from his Purple Mansion.

Rumble!

Rumble!

Rumble!

Each Emperor weapon was a terrifying magic treasure. For Lu Changsheng, Emperor weapons were nothing because he had two treasures of creation, one Innate Merit Treasure, and nine Immortal Cauldrons.

Theoretically, Emperor weapons were indeed insignificant in his heart.

Not to mention the treasures of creation, just the Innate Merit Treasure alone, a casual shake could shatter three hundred and sixty-five Emperor weapons.

But for the Jinwu Old Ancestor, three hundred and sixty-five Emperor weapons were an astronomical figure. Even in his most prosperous period, he couldn't obtain even three point six of them unless he forcibly robbed them from others. Otherwise, normally, he couldn't obtain them no matter what.

So, the Jinwu Old Ancestor was dumbfounded.

He had lived through a great era, seen countless strange things, and experienced any great storm, but today he was dumbfounded.

And very dumbfounded.

He didn't even know what to say.

Three hundred and sixty-five Emperor weapons.

Transformed into three hundred and sixty-five huge stars, towering in this world, each Emperor weapon permeated with a terrifying Emperor might, each Emperor weapon was enough to make the stars in the sky tremble, and each Emperor weapon could shatter a large domain in the Immortal World.

The appearance of three hundred and sixty-five Emperor weapons even formed a great momentum, with various laws and order intertwined, as if evolving something, making people feel extremely shocked.

Clang!

However, as a bell rang, all the Emperor weapons fell silent at this moment.

All the Emperor might was restrained, as if they dared not act presumptuously in front of the Jinwu Divine Bell.

The three hundred and sixty-five Emperor weapons calmed down, but the Jinwu Old Ancestor was still full of shock.

It took a long time before the Jinwu Old Ancestor slowly exhaled.

He was truly shocked.

Three hundred and sixty-five Emperor weapons were one thing, but Lu Changsheng had gathered three hundred and sixty-five Emperor weapons in less than a day. What kind of existence was this?

"Did the God race give them to you?"

The Jinwu Old Ancestor asked. He came back to his senses, thought for a while, and then questioned Lu Changsheng.

He subconsciously believed that the God race was helping Lu Changsheng because, under the heavens, the only powerful race that could have so many Emperor weapons was the God race.

"No." Lu Changsheng shook his head. This answer surprised the Jinwu Old Ancestor even more.

"If it wasn't the God race, who was it?"

The Jinwu Old Ancestor really couldn't believe it. If these many Emperor weapons weren't given by the God race, could it be that he picked them up himself?

"Senior, have you heard of the Hundred Thousand Immortal Mountains?"

Lu Changsheng asked.

"Of course, I know."

The Jinwu Old Ancestor nodded.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng smiled calmly and said, "It's a coincidence. Senior said that I had to find three hundred and sixty-five Emperor weapons. At first, I did feel troubled, but later I heard that there were many treasures in the Hundred Thousand Immortal Mountains, so I planned to go there to try my luck."

"And you know what? The Hundred Thousand Immortal Mountains indeed have countless treasures. I was lucky and picked up three hundred and sixty-five Emperor weapons, not one more, not one less."

Lu Changsheng said with a calm smile. He spoke lightly, but in reality, the process of obtaining the treasures was even easier.

"The Hundred Thousand Immortal Mountains have so many treasures?"

The Jinwu Old Ancestor obviously didn't believe it.

"Yes, and some people have obtained supreme good fortune and can directly become Immortal Emperors."

Lu Changsheng casually made it up. Anyway, the Jinwu Old Ancestor didn't believe it, so he didn't say much. There was no way; he had already exaggerated several times. If he told the truth, he probably wouldn't believe it even more.

"Sigh, forget it, forget it. Everyone has their own secrets. It's your own good fortune and secret that you were able to obtain so many Emperor weapons, so I won't ask any more."

The Jinwu Old Ancestor shook his head, believing that since Lu Changsheng was unwilling to say, he wouldn't ask any more questions. But after saying this, the Jinwu Old Ancestor continued to speak.

"Now that the Emperor weapons have been found, the next step is to repair the Chaos Bell. However, this process is very long. If you are willing to wait, then wait aside. If you are not willing, then just leave the Chaos Bell here."

"How long will it take?"

Lu Changsheng asked directly.

"At the fastest, it will take two years. At the slowest, ten years."

The Jinwu Old Ancestor replied.

"At the fastest, two years, at the slowest, ten years?"

The time was uncertain, whether urgent or not, but reforging the Chaos Bell was a necessary thing to do. Lu Changsheng didn't think much about it. He directly took out the Chaos Bell and handed it to the Jinwu Old Ancestor.

He wasn't worried that the Jinwu Old Ancestor would steal his treasure and leave. Under the heavens, only he took advantage of others; he had never been taken advantage of.

So, he wasn't worried about this kind of thing at all.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior."

Lu Changsheng handed the Chaos Bell to the Jinwu Old Ancestor, who carefully took the Chaos Bell, his eyes filled with respect and reverence, and at the same time, he continued to speak.

"The biggest trouble in reforging the Chaos Bell is not repairing the scars of time. The three hundred and sixty-five Emperor weapons, turned into nourishment, are enough to repair this problem. The most difficult thing is the fusion."

The Jinwu Old Ancestor said seriously.

"Fusion?"

Lu Changsheng was a little puzzled.

"Yes, fusion. Originally, the Jinwu Divine Bell and the Chaos Bell were one. Later, because they were attacked by a terrible force, they were eventually split into two, and even the main body was separated again, which is why the Black Bell and the Green Bell appeared. With the help of the three hundred and sixty-five Emperor weapons, the Black Bell and the Green Bell can be fused into one. This is not a big problem."

"But the fusion of the Chaos Bell's main body and the Jinwu Divine Bell is very troublesome. My only assurance is the ancestor's blood essence. If it succeeds, the treasure of creation will reappear, shocking the Thirty-Three Heavens and causing the Nine Nether Ghosts to weep. But if it fails, it will be very troublesome. There is only one drop of the ancestor's blood essence, and it will be difficult to find a second drop."

The Jinwu Old Ancestor said.

The most troublesome part of the fusion of the Chaos Bell and the Jinwu Divine Bell was the fusion of the main body and the divine spirit. The two separated from the Chaos era. The main body of the Chaos Bell was stained with mortal air, so fusion was very troublesome. Three hundred and sixty-five Emperor weapons were needed to wash away this air of time erosion and the air of the mortal world.

Finally, the blood essence of the Eastern Emperor Monarch was needed to fuse the two together. The process was very troublesome, and a single mistake could lead to failure.

"Senior, when it's time for the true fusion, send someone to find me. I'll either be in the Thirty-Three Heavens or in the Demon World. I want to see them fuse myself."

Lu Changsheng said seriously.

Since the fusion was so troublesome, he planned to come over in person. After all, his luck was so good; if he was there, it would basically be stable, right?

"Alright."

The Jinwu Old Ancestor couldn't guess what Lu Changsheng was thinking. He just thought that Lu Changsheng wanted to witness it himself.

"Then Senior, I'll be leaving first."

"Alright."

Lu Changsheng nodded, preparing to get up and leave, but in the end, he stopped.

"Senior, I have a question I want to ask."

Lu Changsheng stopped, turning his gaze to the Jinwu Old Ancestor. He had a doubt that he wouldn't feel comfortable not asking.

"Ask."

The Jinwu Old Ancestor said very calmly.

"I see that Senior's realm seems to have reached the Immortal Emperor realm, but I also find that Senior's realm is not the Immortal Emperor realm, but it's also not the Quasi-Emperor realm. What is the reason for this, Senior?"

Lu Changsheng voiced his doubts.

Upon hearing this, the Jinwu Old Ancestor seemed very calm and said.

"I was once an Immortal Emperor, but I should have died long ago. I owe the heavens and earth fifty million years of karma, just to live to this era and meet the destined person who possesses the Chaos Bell. And for owing so much karma, the heavens will naturally take something away from me."

"Young friend, I see that you also owe a lot of karma. You must remember that if possible, try to repay the karma. Otherwise, the higher your realm, the more you will owe. Unless you can surpass the Great Dao, otherwise, when you become an Immortal Emperor, this karma will let you know what despair is."

The Jinwu Old Ancestor said very seriously.

The reason why he was now like an Immortal Emperor but not an Immortal Emperor was entirely because he owed the heavens and earth karma. He had not died, but he was not allowed to go anywhere, and could only stay in the ancestral land, no different from a living dead person.

Moreover, the karma he owed would be repaid even if he died. For example, the Jinwu race would inexplicably bear part of the karma.

"Understood."

After hearing what the Jinwu Old Ancestor said, Lu Changsheng nodded, but he couldn't help but feel a kind of unspeakable emotion.

Indeed, from beginning to end, he had been owing a large amount of karma. Just the forty-eight great vows of the Buddhist world could crush ten Heavenly Courts.

With so much karma weighing on him, even if he encountered a being like the Star Immortal Emperor again, it would be impossible to offset it.

Because he owed too much karma.

At the beginning, Lu Changsheng didn't feel anything, but after owing so much, he found that the Heavenly Dao didn't seem to care at all, which made Lu Changsheng feel a little panicked.

It was like borrowing high-interest loans, thinking that the other party would come to collect the money violently every day, but what he didn't expect was that the other party not only didn't collect the money violently, but didn't even ask a question, as if he had never borrowed it.

How could Lu Changsheng not be a little afraid?

"Could it be that they are building up for a big move?"

Leaving the Jinwu ancestral land, Lu Changsheng flew directly to the Thirty-Three Heavens.

He was thinking about this question in his heart.

But after thinking back and forth, he couldn't come up with an answer.

In the end, in less than half an hour, Lu Changsheng arrived at the Thirty-Three Heavens, above the Hong Palace.

"Brother!"

As Lu Changsheng arrived at the Hong race Immortal Palace, the Hongling Princess instantly appeared in front of Lu Changsheng, intimately holding Lu Changsheng's arm.

"Hong'er, I've come to find you today because I have something I want you to help me with."

Seeing the Hongling Princess, Lu Changsheng cut straight to the chase.

"Is it about the Buddhist Mother's item of enlightenment?"

The Hongling Princess asked directly.

"You know?"

Lu Changsheng was a little surprised.

"My race's Supreme Being has already told me. Changsheng, this matter involves too much, too much. I don't know how to tell you, but Hong'er wants to ask you, brother, do you really want to be enemies with the Buddhist Mother?"

The Hongling Princess spoke, her expression serious and heavy.

This was the first time Lu Changsheng had seen such a serious expression on the Hongling Princess' face.

"Will this matter bring you a lot of trouble? If it's not good for you to get involved, then I won't let you get involved."

Lu Changsheng didn't answer, but instead asked the Hongling Princess. If it would really bring her trouble, then he wouldn't involve the Hongling Princess.

To be honest, the Hongling Princess had helped him so much. If she felt embarrassed, Lu Changsheng wouldn't pit others.

"Changsheng, answer me first."

However, the Hongling Princess didn't answer Lu Changsheng's question, but continued to ask Lu Changsheng.

"I must help this person."

Lu Changsheng nodded, giving an extremely affirmative gaze. He didn't say that he was hostile to the Buddhist Mother, but the meaning of this sentence was very simple.

"No matter how much is involved, you're not afraid?"

The Hongling Princess asked again.

"Yes."

Lu Changsheng's tone was extremely firm.

Immediately, the Hongling Princess nodded, but didn't say anything else.

But this instead made Lu Changsheng frown.

"Hong'er, if it has any impact on you, just say it directly. I won't involve you."

Lu Changsheng spoke, he didn't understand what this meant.

However, the Hongling Princess shook her head and said, "Changsheng, remember, no matter what, I will support you. I'm not afraid of being involved in anything. But since you insist on interfering in this matter, come with Hong'er and meet my Hong race's Supreme Being. He will tell you everything."

The Hongling Princess spoke, saying this.

"Alright."

Lu Changsheng was even more curious, but he didn't say much, and instead followed the Hongling Princess.
