Chapter 1 The Beginning

“Legend has it that countless years ago, when heaven and earth were still a hazy gray, there was an unparalleled powerhouse who awoke from the primordial chaos. He was born wielding the innate treasure, the Chaos Bell, suppressing all enemies in the world."

"His name was Donghuang Taiyi, emperor of billions of demon clans. Thus, the bell is called the Donghuang Bell. When this bell rings, it can destroy the heavens and the earth. But because of the Great Calamity, Donghuang Taiyi was not allowed to be too strong, so he was forcefully killed, turning him to ashes. The bell itself was also split in two because of that immeasurable calamity."

Lu Changsheng directly used the primordial fantasy novels he had read in his previous life to fool the two of them.

Li Yang and Liu Qingfeng widened their eyes, their imaginations running wild.

"Donghuang Taiyi, that name is too domineering, truly powerful!"

"To think there would be such a powerful person in this world, ruling over billions of demon clans as their emperor. Senior Brother, has this person already become an immortal?"

Liu Qingfeng asked, displaying his limited worldview.

"He's a demon!" Lu Changsheng emphasized, then replied, "This person is no longer at the level of an immortal, but a Sage! A demi-sage. The immortals we know are like ants in his eyes. With a single thought, he could destroy the entire cultivation world, or with another thought, create countless worlds like this one."

Lu Changsheng said with utmost seriousness.

Of course, if Donghuang Taiyi really existed, then Lu Changsheng wasn't exaggerating at all.

According to the primordial world view, Donghuang Taiyi breathing out would destroy countless Xianxia worlds.

"Destroyed with a single thought? Senior Brother, isn't that an exaggeration?"

Liu Qingfeng was somewhat unconvinced.

"Exaggeration? Not at all!" However, Li Yang spoke, believing Lu Changsheng.

"There are too many things in this world that we cannot understand. In the eyes of mortals, we are high and mighty immortals, a full-force strike able to kill a million soldiers. But in the eyes of immortals, we are vulnerable, a light wave capable of killing us countless times. Yet even after ascending to the Immortal Realm, there are still all kinds of powerful figures, hidden dragons and crouching tigers. And above the Immortal Realm, there's bound to be an even higher world."

"So I believe Senior Brother Changsheng."

Li Yang said, his comprehension ability very strong.

"Well, Donghuang Taiyi established the Ancient Heavenly Court, ruling over billions of demon clans. Under him were the Ten Great Demon Gods, and under each of the Ten Great Demon Gods were three thousand demon kings. Under each of the three thousand demon kings were seven thousand two hundred great demons, and under each of the great demons were nine thousand nine hundred celestial demons."

"And just a celestial demon-level powerhouse is countless times stronger than an immortal. So tell me, how strong is Donghuang Taiyi?"

Lu Changsheng said.

Completely shocking Liu Qingfeng.

Ten Great Demon Gods, three thousand demon kings, seven thousand two hundred great demons, nine thousand nine hundred celestial demons—any single celestial demon was a heaven-destroying, earth-shattering existence.

That Donghuang Taiyi was indeed very strong.

In fact, ridiculously strong!

"Senior Brother, if this Donghuang Taiyi is so powerful, wouldn't this treasure also be invincible?"

Liu Qingfeng exclaimed, then his expression changed slightly, wanting to say something but holding back for the time being.

"Junior Brother congratulates Senior Brother Changsheng on obtaining this treasure."

Li Yang was filled with envy.

As the Yin Yang Holy Son, he had seen many treasures, but he was very envious of treasures like the Donghuang Bell.

Such things were hard to come by. But although envious, Li Yang wasn't jealous, nor did he harbor any malicious thoughts.

Because he knew very well that this object was obtained by someone with fate. If it was his, it was his. If it wasn't, forcing it would be useless.

Soon, Li Yang escorted Lu Changsheng to his residence and then left in a hurry, as he had other matters to attend to and couldn't stay here chatting.

After Li Yang left, Liu Qingfeng mysteriously closed the door, then said with a nervous expression, "Senior Brother, Senior Brother!"

Seeing Liu Qingfeng so nervous, Lu Changsheng didn't know why, but felt a strange sense of panic.

"What is it?" Lu Changsheng asked, curious.

"Senior Brother, listen to me. You obtained a treasure from the Yin Yang Holy Land, and such a treasure at that. Do you think the Yin Yang Holy Land will become greedy upon seeing it?"

Liu Qingfeng said.

Leaving Lu Changsheng speechless.

The Yin Yang Holy Land was one of the Ten Great Holy Lands of the Central Continent. Whether in terms of status or reputation, it was extremely good. How could they possibly become greedy upon seeing it?

Besides, if they really wanted to become greedy and harm him, the Da Luo Holy Land wouldn't allow it.

"You're overthinking it." Lu Changsheng shook his head, not believing the Yin Yang Holy Land would do such a thing.

"Senior Brother, it's not that I'm overthinking it. Think about it carefully. What kind of treasure is this? The Donghuang Bell! Actually, it would have been fine if you hadn't said anything at first, but you told Li Yang, and he will definitely tell the elders of the Yin Yang Holy Land. If they learn of the importance of this treasure, how could they not become greedy upon seeing it?"

"After all, we are now on their territory. It's hard to guarantee that nothing unexpected will happen."

It had to be said that Liu Qingfeng was indeed very cautious, which was good.

"Li Yang probably wouldn't talk nonsense, would he?" Lu Changsheng was somewhat hesitant.

"That's not for sure. He's not like me, keeping his mouth shut!"

"In any case, we must be careful. Senior Brother, I have a golden talisman here. Do you want me to write a letter to the sect to prepare in advance? If we really encounter any danger, at least we won't be left to fight alone!"

Liu Qingfeng said.

"That's called being isolated and helpless!"

Lu Changsheng reminded him.

"Yes, yes, yes, isolated and helpless. In short, we still have to prepare for the worst."

Liu Qingfeng displayed a rare surge of wisdom.

Lu Changsheng thought for a moment, then nodded. "Then be careful and don't get discovered. Otherwise, if people find out, we'll be laughed to death."

"Don't worry, Senior Brother. Are you not confident in my abilities?"

Liu Qingfeng patted his chest, then took out a golden talisman and began to write.

Lu Changsheng, on the other hand, began to ponder this problem.

At the same time.

Inside the Yin Yang Great Hall.

It seemed unusually quiet and solemn.

Jiang Yuanyin sat on the main seat of the hall, not saying a word.

But finally, someone broke the silence.

"Sect Leader! The divine stone stirred, giving birth to an unparalleled immortal object. This is a good thing, but Changsheng is not a disciple of our Yin Yang Holy Land. How should we handle this matter?"

The elder spoke, not hiding anything, but directly raising the issue that everyone was struggling with.

The divine stone stirred, giving birth to an unparalleled immortal object, which was a great joy.

But the problem was that the owner was not a disciple of the Yin Yang Holy Land, which made people very uncomfortable.

Although it was said that treasures were obtained by those with fate.

But since ancient times, one should keep the wealth within the family.

Letting Lu Changsheng take it away for nothing was also unwilling.

To put it bluntly, they would rather let it gather dust there than give it to outsiders.

"Sect Leader, Senior Brother, why don't we give Changsheng some benefits, and then have him leave the immortal bell behind?"

Someone suddenly spoke, making this suggestion.

In an instant, everyone fell silent again.

But soon, a voice rang out.
