Chapter 724: Chapter 393: By Chance, Acquired the Chaos Bell Body; Two Treasures Unite as One (Part 2)
Li Ming replied respectfully:
"We do not have a Golden Immortal Talisman."
"However, I have an Innate Spiritual Treasure on hand. If we seize the opportunity to launch a surprise attack, we can definitely severely wound or even kill it."
"Oh, you have an Innate Spiritual Treasure?"
Su Yu casually asked as something occurred to him:
"What type is it? Is it a pearl?"
"Uh, no, it’s an ancient bell with only part of its power unlocked. It can stabilize the elements, and when it strikes, it is extremely powerful."
"Oh!"
Upon hearing it wasn’t the Sea Stabilizing Pearl, Su Yu lost interest immediately.
If it were the Sea Stabilizing Pearl, he would have found a way to exchange for it, even at a high cost, like using two strands of Chaos Origin, ancient dragon blood, a divine peach, or even a Xuan Heaven Immortal Fruit. If unsatisfied, he might offer an external item, like granting a position in the Celestial Court.
But since it’s not the Sea Stabilizing Pearl, he’s not interested.
Nor necessary.
Being acknowledged by an Innate Spiritual Treasure indicates that Li Ming carries considerable fortune. In the past, he could have ascended to a Profound Immortal. Now, with the Human Race’s destiny significantly increased, he might even ascend to a Golden Immortal in the future.
This kind of future top expert of the Human Race, who can shoulder substantial pressure for him, obviously needs to be well protected.
After a brief thought, Su Yu flipped his hand and took out 200 strands of pure Chaos Qi, instantly grabbing their attention.
"Being acknowledged by an Innate Spiritual Treasure, you have great potential. These are my gifts to you; cultivate well, the future is yours."
With a wave of his hand, the two hundred strands of pure Chaos Qi split in two, a hundred strands flew to Li Ming, and the remaining hundred strands flew to the others, with two True Immortals getting 10 strands each, and the remaining 80 strands shared among the others.
Li Ming instinctively received the Chaos Qi to examine it, and with a joyful expression, he bowed deeply:
"Li Ming thanks the Marshal for the gift!"
"Cultivate well, and just don’t let down my trust."
Everyone bowed to express their gratitude, all extremely excited.
The pure Chaos Qi, refined by the Vast Sea, is comparable to the immortal power of a Golden Immortal. For a Celestial Immortal, just one strand can fully enhance an immensely powerful but difficult-to-improve supreme art. Each having a few strands and going into seclusion would tremendously boost their strength.
Afterwards, Su Yu stayed and engaged in a long conversation with them, mainly asking about the Human Race’s situation during his absence.
Li Ming was the first to speak:
"During the Marshal’s absence, unbeknownst to you, our Human Race’s fortune has significantly surged in recent decades, markedly accelerating the cultivation speed from ordinary cultivators to Immortals, and the success rate of tribulation crossing is several times higher than before. Many elders who previously could only stop at their realm due to lack of confidence in crossing tribulations have successfully done so these past years, greatly enhancing our overall strength."
At this point, another Celestial Immortal added from the side:
"Additionally, our overall fortune has improved, which is particularly evident in the battle spoils, where everyone can feel a tremendous increase in the experience gained from defeating monsters, and the drop rate has significantly increased as well."
"Besides that, everyone’s opportunities are far greater than before."
"For instance, in the major archipelagos, where various opportunities had been unearthed after tens of thousands of years of management, yet in these few decades, a batch of previously undiscovered Grotto Heavens have been found anew."
"But the most interesting are the various treasure opportunities. To speak of no other, just take Daoist Li Ming for example. His Spiritual Treasure was discovered long ago, but it remained hidden until one day over a decade ago when it suddenly shot out of his storage space and rang."
"Oh!"
Su Yu smiled and said:
"What a classic plot twist, like the legendary protagonist treatment."
Li Ming laughed heartily and said:
"I was just as surprised."
"What level of Innate Spiritual Treasure is your treasure? What’s its name?"
"I don’t know."
"What do you mean you don’t know? Hasn’t it recognized you as its owner?"
Li Ming scratched his head and explained awkwardly:
"I can use it right now, but it hasn’t fully recognized me as its owner. I can only unleash its basic power, all of its features are question marks, and even the treasure’s name is a question mark."
"???
"So I guess this treasure hasn’t really acknowledged me. It probably awakened due to some unknown reason when the Human Race’s fortune surged over a decade ago and has only temporarily allowed me to wield it."
"This kind of thing happens?"
His curiosity piqued, Su Yu asked:
"Would it be convenient for me to have a look?"
Li Ming laughed heartily and said:
"Of course."
With a flip of his hand, an ancient, gray-hued bell appeared in his hand and was handed over.
Su Yu took the ancient bell, and upon touching it felt a cool sensation. Yet before he had time to examine, a current-like aura integrated into his hand, coursing up his arm to his chest, and into his sea of consciousness, directly targeting his soul.
The Chaos Bell Hammer hanging in his sea of consciousness was attracted by this aura, suddenly flashed and disappeared.
In the next moment, a chaos flow of light flashed from his brow, crashing into the body of the bell in his palm.
"Dang!"
A clear bell sound echoed.
Everyone looked astonished at the treasure bell in Su Yu’s hand, which was now glowing brilliantly, as the dust on the surface fell away to reveal the sun, moon, stars, and elemental forces.
"This...."
"It seems this treasure is about to activate....."
Before the words could be completed, Su Yu suddenly sliced open a Chaos Gate with his left hand and slipped inside.
"Wait a moment."
Upon entering the Chaos Realm, resonant bell sounds reverberated, sending forth invisible ripples, and the previously turbulent chaotic qi around was smoothed out and became docile under the influence of these waves.
"Whoa!"
"This is the Chaos Bell itself!"
The Chaos Bell Hammer in his sea of consciousness had now merged with this Chaos Bell, and at its first strike, shattered all the accumulated dust on the Chaos Bell’s surface, revealing its true form.
