Standing atop the azure waves that stretched for thousands of miles, Yu Yuan looked at Lingzhu Zi with some surprise.

Although he had long known that this Lingzhu Zi must be hiding a killing move, at this moment, he was still shocked by the Chan Sect disciple's maneuvers.

What is this?

Not enough strength, so complementing with Spiritual Treasures?

Hmm... that does seem to make some sense.

In this era of cultivation where the Primordial Spirit is prioritized over the physical body, Spiritual Treasures hold extraordinary significance.

A powerful Spiritual Treasure can help one overcome those above and achieve a counterattack across great realms!

Let alone that Lingzhu Zi has more than a dozen formidable Spiritual Treasures surrounding him!

But this is just a spar, isn't this behavior a bit too... shameless?!

"Just admit defeat quickly!"

Surrounded by numerous Spiritual Treasures, Lingzhu Zi looked at Yu Yuan with some pride and smiled, "No matter how unrivaled your physical body is, how can you withstand my Spiritual Treasures?"

Yu Yuan raised his eyebrows, smiling with a not-quite-sincere expression, "I'm not really familiar with that. Why don't you teach me how to admit defeat?"

Lingzhu Zi laughed smugly, "Isn't that simple, you just have to say 'I admi... hehe, you're trying to trick me, aren't you? I, Lingzhu Zi, am not so easily deceived!"

After a pause, he looked at Yu Yuan and smiled, "Since you refuse to admit defeat, then I will let you witness the power of the Chan Sect's Treasures!"

As he spoke, he casually waved his hand and a dark green long spear soared out, pointing straight towards the sky.

Threads of pale green lightning leaked from the long spear.

In an instant, the wind and clouds changed drastically, and dark brooding clouds rolled in.

"Crack!"

In the muffled thunder, countless pale green electrical lights brewed within the clouds, converging into a massive Thunder Pond.

Rolling thunder and lightning turned into thunderous slurry within the Thunder Pond.

"Boom——"

With a loud noise.

Just being hit by a drop of thunderous slurry overflown from the Thunder Pond, thousands of miles of ocean instantly evaporated, exposing the ugly seabed.

"What do you think, still want to continue?"

Lingzhu Zi looked triumphantly at Yu Yuan, with the Spiritual Treasures around him floating in the air, exuding a compelling majesty.

Yu Yuan shook his head, materializing the Mixed Gold Hammer in his hand, and said with a smile: "No matter how powerful the treasure, it also depends on whose hands it is in! These Spiritual Treasures, if they were in Yang Jian's hands, they might be able to compete with me. But in your hands... they will just waste these treasures."

The smile on Lingzhu Zi's face disappeared.

He looked at Yu Yuan with a cold face and a threatening expression.

So many Spiritual Treasures, just to activate them requires a massive amount of Mana.

Only he, an Immortal Golden Immortal, could sustain such Mana consumption. If it were Yang Jian... he probably wouldn't be able to activate even half of these Spiritual Treasures!

But now this Yu Yuan was actually saying that he would waste these treasures!

This guy...

Lingzhu Zi couldn't help but angrily say: "My Dao is far superior to Yang Jian's, what sense does your comment make? Oh... I get it now, you're deliberately provoking me!"

"Hehe~"

Yu Yuan chuckled twice, not responding, and directly swung the hammer towards Lingzhu Zi.

"Nice move!"

Lingzhu Zi shouted loudly, commanding the surrounding Spiritual Treasures to attack Yu Yuan.

These treasures were all full of spirit, merely awaiting an order from their "master", Lingzhu Zi, to strike the enemy on their own.

But see:

The Feather Fan gently waved, and towering flames reached ten thousand feet high.

The bell jingled, and a thousand silver snakes showed off their valor.

The cleansing bottle tilted, stirring waves that slashed through the shocking tides.

The golden rope flew about, even Daluo Immortals found no leisure in escape.

...

While the numerous Spiritual Treasures displayed their divine prowess, above Yu Yuan's head appeared a damaged great bell, with five-colored radiant light flickering and emitting a light "ding" sound.

The tangible waves of bell chime rippled in all directions, covering nearly a thousand feet in radius. Everything touched by the bell waves instantly froze in place.

And Yu Yuan disappeared in an instant.

"Huh?"

Lingzhu Zi's expression abruptly changed, his eyes revealing a cautious look, wanting to call back the Spiritual Treasures for protection.

But most of those Spiritual Treasures were already stuck in the spatial mire, unable to break free from the spatial restraints of the Chaos Bell with their own strength in a short time.

Furthermore, a tall shadow had already enveloped him.

"As I said, these treasures in your hands are a waste."

As Yu Yuan spoke, he swung the Mixed Gold Hammer in his hand without any hesitation or mercy, smashing it down fiercely.

The Mixed Gold Hammer shimmered with golden light, wrapped in splendid divine radiance, as if flames were burning.

This was the symbol of Yu Yuan's Qi-Blood and Essence burning vigorously.

Under this terrifying force, the power of the Mixed Gold Hammer tremendously increased. In an instant, it shattered Lingzhu Zi's three-headed and six-armed Primordial Spirit Dharma Form and continued unstoppably to smash down onto Lingzhu Zi's head.

Under this terrorizing force, Lingzhu Zi's entire body exploded into a mist of blood.

Seeing this scene, Guang Chengzi and the other Chan Sect disciples changed color abruptly, their faces showing disbelief.

The Jie Sect people were also utterly shocked.

"This is too powerful, isn't it?!"

Yao Shaosi finally understood why his master frequently mentioned this senior brother Yu Yuan.

Which master wouldn't like such a disciple?

At this moment, he felt not jealousy or resentment, but genuine admiration from the bottom of his heart.

The gap was too big!

Apart from amazement and admiration, he really could not harbor any other thoughts.

Not just him, but also the surrounding Jie Sect disciples were exclaiming continuously.

"That's the might of the Chaos Bell!"

"Even though it is just a damaged Chaos Bell, as long as it's used properly, those Chan Sect treasures are simply not enough to compare!"

"That's right, we worried for nothing! I forgot that our nephew Yu Yuan had the Chaos Bell!"

"Another hammer strike!"

"This junior is just too powerful! I feel like even I couldn't take that hammer blow!"

"Have some confidence... just remove 'feel like'."

"This strength is truly terrifying!"

"I've made up my mind, once I return, I will forge my physical body, cultivate my physique, and re-embrace the path of Ancient Body Cultivation!"

"Count me in!"

"..."

Amidst the bustling noise, Yuanshi Tianzun, seated on a cloud bed, gently pointed forward with his hand.

At the same time, the cloud of blood mist in front of Yu Yuan immediately gathered towards the center, rapidly condensing into a three-inch-diameter pearl, smooth and round like jade, then with a slight shake, it disappeared without a trace.

Seeing this, Yu Yuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

His hammer blow had shattered Lingzhu Zi's physical body, but it failed to annihilate his Primordial Spirit.

With Lingzhu Zi's Golden Immortal Dao, reconstructing a physical body was no difficult task.

So why was it reverting to its origin?

Could it be... dissatisfaction with Lingzhu Zi, intending to take him back for re-enlightenment?

But this had nothing to do with him.

His gaze had already fallen on those Chan Sect Spiritual Treasures.

Without their temporary master Lingzhu Zi, these Chan Sect Treasures appeared lost, some trying to flee, some still attempting to attack Yu Yuan, and some remaining stationary...

Yu Yuan's eyes flickered as he swiftly considered the consequences if he were to seize these Spiritual Treasures.

The Yuqing Saint certainly wouldn't tolerate such an act, right?

Perhaps even taking personal action to "reclaim" it.

Then what are the chances of Tongtian Sect Hierarch intervening?

However, before he had time to decide whether to act, those Chan Sect Treasures disappeared one after another.

Just like that pearl from before.

Seeing this, he hastily stuffed the Qiankun Ring and Chaos Sky Silk he was clutching into the Qiankun Ruyi Bag.

If he could seize one, it was one gained.

He didn't believe that the Saint would really have the nerve to pick his pocket, right?

At this moment, in the skies above the plaza, Yuanshi Tianzun was seated on the cloud bed, with a smooth, jade-like bright pearl in his palm, and a multitude of Spiritual Treasures floating beside him.

Sensing Yu Yuan's slight movement, Yuanshi Tianzun slightly furrowed his brows and turned to look at Tongtian Sect Hierarch beside him.

Yet Tongtian Sect Hierarch, as if not aware of his gaze, kept smiling and watching the scene unfold before him.

He had certainly noticed Yu Yuan's move and knew why his elder brother beside him was looking at him.

At this moment, his heart was filled with great delight and secret pleasure.

Just now you were indifferent towards me, but now...

Heh!

Doesn't everyone have their pride?

On the side, Saint Zhunti observed all this with keen eyes, looking at Tongtian Sect Hierarch with a smile, "Older brother, your disciple is truly extraordinary, even obtaining the Chaos Bell, a supreme treasure. His future achievements are boundless."

Tongtian Sect Hierarch paid no heed and with a gentle sweep of his hand, a Cloud Gate appeared before Yu Yuan, who was clutching the Qiankun Ruyi Bag.

"You may return to rest for now. The next is the exchange among the second-generation disciples."

Hearing this from Tongtian Sect Hierarch, Yu Yuan was not surprised.

Although he was not inferior to the second-generation disciples, there was no need to reveal all his trump cards.

Just like Lingzhu Zi, had he not exposed all his cards right from the start, but kept a few Spiritual Treasures as backup, it would not have been certain for Yu Yuan to defeat him in one move.

This was also the reason why Yu Yuan said that those treasures in the hands of Lingzhu Zi were wasted.

Although his Dao and Mana were superior to Yang Jian's and more capable of wielding the power of those treasures, he was too eager to prove himself.

Of course, this was also because he hadn't long transformed and his mind was not mature enough.

This was evident from the fact that he knew Yu Yuan was intentionally provoking him, but still couldn't help but erupt.

With such a temperament, even without the Chaos Bell's powerful weapon, Yu Yuan could resolve the situation with ease.

It would just take more time.

In that scenario, more would be exposed.

It was common knowledge that Yu Yuan possessed the Chaos Bell, so to not use such an open power and instead meet the enemy with other means would only lead to more speculation.

After passing through the Cloud Gate, Yu Yuan returned directly above the plaza.

Welcoming him were the warm cheers and admiring gazes.

Many young Jie Sect disciples also came flocking to him.

Although internal skirmishes within the Jie Sect were not uncommon, in the face of the "external enemy" of the Chan Sect, the majority of Jie Sect disciples could unite in their common resentment and share in honor and disgrace.

Yu Yuan slightly furrowed his brow, very uncomfortable with the scene.

He intended to push these people away, but the first to approach him was Huo Ling'er.

If he dared to push this Senior Sister away, she would probably start crying on the spot.

Of course, not all Jie Sect disciples were cheering and jumping for joy; a few felt deeply disappointed.

They didn't want the Jie Sect to lose but simply wanted Yu Yuan to lose!

If he could get seriously injured in the exchange, that would be even better.

Like Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal.

Initially, when Lingzhu Zi brought out those dozen or so Chan Sect Treasures, he had thought Yu Yuan was bound to lose. Yet unexpectedly, the situation flipped in an instant.

Now witnessing Yu Yuan return to the plaza, "enjoying" the adulation of the crowd, he clenched his fists tightly.

With Yu Yuan's three consecutive victories and his significant contributions to the Jie Sect, it would probably be more difficult now to use the disappearance of Lv Yue and others against him.

Just then, a gaze descended from above, landing on him, followed by the voice of Tongtian Sect Hierarch.

"Long-Ear, you shall be the next to spar."

"Hmm?"

Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal instantly tensed up.

Not far away, Yu Yuan, surrounded by a group of young disciples, also furrowed his brows.

With so many experts among the Jie Sect disciples, why would Tongtian Sect Hierarch send Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal?

Could he be planning to throw the match?
