Chapter 490: Chapter 491: The Future of the Donghuang Bell

Playing with the Donghuang Bell in his hands, feeling the terrifying power within, Zhong Lin had a certain direction in mind for the future of the Donghuang Bell.

Refine all treasures, devour a hundred beasts.

He initially only considered devouring the essence blood of those demon beasts to enhance its power, but unexpectedly, inscriptions of birds and beasts began to form on the bell’s surface, something Zhong Lin had never anticipated, and these inscriptions even produced various unimaginable effects.

Moreover, the largest of these inscriptions was a “blade” inscription, condensed from the Demon-shattering Blade.

For others, they would naturally worry that such a collection would most likely result in an explosion, the kind that would reduce one to dust.

But Zhong Lin had the help of the system panel, and furthermore, he practiced the “Five Elements Mixed Essence Skill.”

With the Five Elements as the foundation, refining Yin and Yang, achieving unity and diversity, not only was he unafraid of chaos, but he actually felt there was less of it.

Of course, the advancement of the Donghuang Bell also had a theme, and Zhong Lin had long set the framework.

Using the Five Elements as the base, supported by Yin and Yang, to further comprehend space and time, allowing the Donghuang Bell to truly become as mythical as in legends.

Resonate through heaven and earth, life and death, with the bell’s sound echoing, day and night reversed, stars repositioned, time and space shifting.

But these are just beautiful fantasies, yet everything in the world fears a determined mind, perhaps one day it will truly be achieved!

“Congratulations, Junior Brother Zhong.”

Nan Cheng and others stepped out of the void, looking at Zhong Lin with complicated gazes.

Zhong Lin flipped his palm, withdrew the Donghuang Bell into his body, and smiled, cupping his hands, “Thank you, senior brothers, for your help. I am deeply grateful. Second Brother, I’d like to borrow your Golden Scale Peak to hold a King’s Weapon Congress, how about it?”

“Hahaha, of course. I’ll have someone prepare it right away, today we won’t leave until we’re drunk.”

Chi Zhonglin laughed heartily, waved to summon a manager, gave an order, and servants went to prepare.

Nan Cheng and his group were also thinking about how to connect with Zhong Lin, after all, he is someone who will surely be crowned king in the future, and naturally, no one wanted to miss this opportunity.

Soon, fine wine and spirit fruits were brought to the table, and the group sat on the ground, drinking heartily. As the atmosphere warmed, they talked of everything under the sun, no longer as constrained as before, but they valued Zhong Lin even more.

“I didn’t expect Junior Brother Zhong to be an Eighth-grade Alchemist as well, truly enviable. I am already a bit jealous of you, Junior Brother.”

After drinking, Bing Lei, who was usually reserved, became somewhat talkative.

“Indeed, I always thought I was a genius, but compared to Junior Brother Zhong, I’m just a natural fool. An Eighth-grade Alchemist, a nascent domain formed, you’re more than qualified to compete for the Saint Heir position.”

As Yi Leju’s words fell, the noise of the entire congress suddenly quieted, and everyone turned their eyes toward him.

Chi Zhonglin slapped his thigh excitedly and said, “Poison Horse is right, Junior Brother, you indeed have the qualifications to compete for the Saint Heir position! Then our Sword Pavilion will not only have two kings but also two saint heirs, it’s promising.”

Yi Leju’s face turned black, damn, Chi Zhonglin had given him another nickname.

Zhong Lin also put down his wine cup, showing a contemplative expression. Heavenly Sword Sacred Land had six Saint Heirs, each a true prodigy, with not only strong cultivation but also significant cultivation resources imparted by their sect, their influence second only to the Sealing King Elders.

If he really could compete for the Saint Heir position, even if he encountered something like the Undying Evil Emperor’s legacy again, the God Desolate King would have to think twice about the cost of killing him.

The Saint Heir is the facade of a Holy Land, and also its foundation. Unless they’ve committed heinous acts, no one would dare strike at them, otherwise, they must consider how to bear the wrath of a Holy Land.

“Senior Brothers, the position of Saint Heir shouldn’t be that easy to compete for, right? I am not even a True Disciple yet, what qualifications do I have to compete for the position of Saint Heir?” Zhong Lin shook his head.

“If we speak of mere cultivation, Junior Brother Zhong, you indeed aren’t enough, only those who have reached the Life and Death Realm can. In this realm, a Martial Artist’s vitality greatly increases, and the physical body is no longer as restricted as before. After all, the sect does not wish for a long-planned Saint Heir to be stunted due to bodily deficiencies.” Yun Hong’s gentle voice sounded.

Zhong Lin nodded slightly as well.

The great universe of heaven and earth, the microcosm of life for a Martial Artist, the physical body has never been just a mere vessel, but holds unlimited potential.

Meridians, Qi-Blood, acupoints…

This is the greatest gift of heaven and earth.

This is why Martial Artists do not attempt limb regrowth or flesh from bone rebirth until they can achieve it. Any deficiency in the physical body might jeopardize the future path of Martial Arts.

This is why all Saint Heirs of major Holy Lands must be at least of the Life and Death Realm. Nobody would want a newly presented Saint Heir to have their future cut down with a sword. Although there’s the possibility of reconstructing the body using Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, the cost is too big.

“But Junior Brother Zhong, you’re different; although you’re only of the Yin Yang Realm in cultivation, you’ve practiced the Undying Scripture from the Undying Evil Emperor. Your physical body’s vitality surpasses even that of a Life and Death Realm’s Undying Body.”

“I can attest to that.”

Chi Zhonglin shouted, “Junior Brother has already cultivated the Undying Scripture to the third layer, Headshot Immortal, not at all inferior to the Undying Body of the Life and Death Realm.”

Upon hearing this, Yun Hong’s eyes shone brightly, continuing, “Thus, the Holy Land’s biggest concern is resolved. Furthermore, Junior Brother Zhong, you’ve also comprehended the Spirit Domain, a nascent domain, which is the greatest obstacle to entering the King Realm. As long as you cultivate steadily, you will undoubtedly have a place among the Sealing King Strong People. Furthermore, you are also an exceptionally rare Eighth-grade Alchemist. Even the current Saint Heirs cannot compare to you, so why wouldn’t the sect agree?”

“Indeed, Yun Shimei has a point.”

“Hong Mei is right.”

Chi Zhonglin chimed in, “Junior Brother, once you become a Saint Heir, the benefits are plenty, at the very least, you’ll never have to worry about resources for cultivation again. Moreover, there are some incredibly powerful Martial Arts in the sect that only a Saint Heir is qualified to practice. Remember Master’s ’Prison Control Heart Sutra’? It is one of the sect’s Eight Great Martial Arts. Even we True Disciples cannot practice it without significant contributions, but a Saint Heir may directly choose to learn one.”

Zhong Lin’s eyes abruptly widened with surprise, “Really?”

He hadn’t forgotten his Master’s casual wave that seemed as if the Thunder God had descended, sparking a storm with a single point in the void.

If he could learn this Martial Art and use the system panel to perfect it, then his combat power would truly soar.

“Of course it’s true, how could such a matter deceive you?” Chi Zhonglin said.

“Then how does one vie for the Saint Heir position?”

The six of them exchanged glances and then, in unison, said, “Enter the Saint Realm.”

“Hmm?”

“Old Nan, you explain, you’re the only one among us who’s been through it.” Chi Zhonglin nudged his mouth towards Nan Cheng.
