This time, the emergence of Eastern Emperor Heaven has attracted countless Immortal Gods to come in search of treasure.

Among these Immortal Gods, if you ask whose fame resonates the loudest, at this moment, everyone would unanimously mention those two names—

Qi Zhongjun!

One Qi Immortal!

No need for anyone to amplify their reputation, since the day the Taiyang Star erupted, news that the Chaos Bell had fallen into their hands swept across Eastern Emperor Heaven like a storm.

After the Heavenly Emperor's Secret Capital was reopened, Immortal Gods emerged and rushed to Taiyin Star, combing through every corner like casting a net, even braving the risk of being frozen into ice sculptures to delve into the core of Taiyin Star, all to locate their whereabouts.

Yet, those two seemed to have vanished directly from Taiyin Star, without a trace of sound.

The only certainty is that they had indeed been on Taiyin Star.

And that there had been a magical duel on Taiyin Star.

Then the two of them vanished without a trace.

Because the remnants of the magical battle had been meticulously dealt with, it revealed not much of value.

"The aura has been wiped too cleanly; even I cannot trace back through time."

Hovering above the pockmarked frozen tundra, Randeng Daoist, mounted on a plum blossom Immortal deer, shook his head as fragments of time in his eyes slowly dissipated.

Pausing for a moment, his gaze turned to the surrounding Chan Sect disciples, "Can any of you sense the whereabouts of Yun Zhongzi?"

Chan Sect possessed a secret technique that allowed disciples to contact and sense each other's locations within a certain distance.

This secret technique had more than once helped the Twelve Golden Immortals avert danger during their travels in the Primordial Era.

Hearing his question, disciples such as Guang Chengzi from Chan Sect shook their heads one after another.

"Have not sensed anything."

"It could be because the distance is too far..."

"It's also possible that Junior Brother Yun Zhongzi has shut off the sensory connection with us."

"Alas, what a commotion this has caused."

"..."

Yu Ding Zhenren and Dao Xing Venerable's expressions changed slightly, as the surrounding brothers, though not explicitly saying so, hinted in their words that they "drove away" Yun Zhongzi.

If they could not find Yun Zhongzi in time and the Chaos Bell was snatched by others, they might become the sinners!

...

At the same time, four figures were slowly descending onto a desolate and bleak star.

They were not riding rainbows or mounts; instead, they crossed the void silently with the strength of their flesh, without drawing any attention.

These four were Lu Ya Daoist, Jiutian Xuan Nu, and the two Zhenren, Jiunan and Du E.

"Are you sure they are hiding here?"

Jiutian Xuan Nu glanced at the desolate scene with some skepticism and turned towards Lu Ya Daoist.

"It can't be wrong."

Lu Ya Daoist nodded confidently and then proposed, "There are many searching for those two right now. We should first lay down the Concealing and Concealing Formation around the perimeter of this star and then slowly capture them, so as not to attract others with the commotion."

Although Jiutian Xuan Nu didn't believe that Qi Zhongjun could cause much ruckus, she still found prudence to be a good policy.

So, she nodded and said softly, "Let's do as you suggest, Fellow Daoist."

Soon, the four of them spread out, beginning to set up the Concealing and Concealing Formation, preparing to envelop an entire star within it.

Inside this desolate and silent star was a world of magma.

The translucent amber-like molten lava gathered into a sea, emitting terrifying heat at all times, yet there stood a resplendent and magnificent Treasure Hall floating quietly on the Magma Sea, neither melting nor sinking.

Within this spacious and bright Treasure Hall, Yu Yuan was sitting cross-legged on a cushion, with the remnants of the Chaos Bell in his right hand, working overtime to refine this damaged Innate Treasure.

Perhaps the Chaos Bell was gradually adapting to him, no longer resisting his entry as strongly.

Essentially, as soon as his hand touched the top of the Chaos Bell, the latter would already open its restrictions in cooperation.

He could smoothly envelop his Primordial Spirit with mana and launch violent assaults against the restrictions of the Chaos Bell.

Each impact made the bell's restrictions ripple like ocean waves, ceaselessly trembling.

Such continuous impacts could last tens of millions of times at an extremely high frequency until his Primordial Spirit's vibrations were imprinted upon that restriction, and only then would he continue to assault the next one.

Contrary to what he initially thought about it "getting harder as he went on," as soon as he imprinted his Primordial Spirit Seal on the first restriction, the subsequent refinement became increasingly easier.

It was as if this broken bell had resigned to its fate.

After a period of effort, he had successfully branded more than forty restrictions with his Primordial Spirit Seal. Ad he was only moments away from completely refining the bell.

Meanwhile, at the other end of the Treasure Hall, Yun Zhongzi was also seated cross-legged on a cushion, with a Furnace of Eight Diagrams standing before him, three zhang six chi high, and seven zhang two chi in diameter.

Inside the furnace, the crimson Six Ding Divine Fire was burning, effortlessly melting various Immortal Gold Divine Materials together.

Next came the long process of calcining and hammering.

Removing impurities, preserving the essence.

During this process, Dao Runes had to be gradually integrated.

These Dao Runes were crucial in forming Acquired Restrictions within the Spiritual Treasure, allowing it to condense various Divine Skills.

Just like Innate Spiritual Treasures, the more Acquired Restrictions formed during the refinement of an artifact, the higher its grade and correspondingly, the stronger its power.

Yun Zhongzi was an expert in this field.

He was proficient at studying various Spiritual Treasures and deciphering the Dao Runes that made up their restrictions.

And now, to match the sheer amount of Immortal Gold Divine Material, he pulled out all the Dao Runes he had painstakingly researched throughout his life, vowing to create a powerful treasure.

Just at that moment, his heart stirred, and he said in a surprised and uncertain tone, "Dao brother, it seems someone has triggered the formations I laid out."

With a flick of his sleeve,

A water mirror materialized in front of him. Through the mirror, one could vaguely see four blurry figures landing on the surface of a star, and one of them seemed to notice his surveillance, looking back across the vast space to meet his gaze.

"Snap!"

Sensing the other party's ill intent, Yun Zhongzi immediately dissipated the water mirror and said with a shaky voice, "This is bad, disaster has struck!"

Yu Yuan had also sensed something and knew that Daoist Lu Ya had come with Jiutian Xuan Nu and two other masters he had never seen before.

He slowly opened his eyes, smiling and said, "Nephew, don't panic, it's just a matter of blocking soldiers with generals and stemming water with earth."

Yun Zhongzi did not share his optimism and, without fussing over Yu Yuan taking advantage of him again, said with a displeased expression, "Dao brother, do not take this lightly! The people who have come are no ordinary beings! They've broken through my Great Formation, and even the water mirror can't capture their figures; it's very likely they're all Daluo Golden Immortals!"

"What is there to fear from Daluo Golden Immortals?" Yu Yuan spoke calmly, "We can also call upon Daluo Golden Immortals for assistance."

"Huh?"

Yun Zhongzi was momentarily stunned, then suddenly understood.

Right, he's not truly a helpless Independent Immortal... behind him stood the Jie Sect, the primeval number one sect to rely on!

But if he were to call upon a group of Jie Sect experts, what would be his place as a disciple of the Chan Sect?

While he was caught up in his erratic thoughts, he noticed his cheap uncle getting up, stretching his neck, and walking out of the Treasure Hall.

Yu Yuan stood in the air, tilted his head upwards, and exhaled while loudly calling out:

"The One Qi Immortal is here; come over here!"

Terrifying sound waves, unimaginable in intensity, condensed and burst through the thousands of miles of rock and soil atop the Magma Sea.

A tunnel over a hundred li in diameter instantly opened above the Magma Sea!

With one bellow, he had actually shouted through the star!

And it wasn't over yet; that horrifying sound wave spread out on its own after exiting the star, transforming into countless thin sound waves wrapped in mana, shooting out like arrows into the endless starry sky.

Based on the speed of these "arrows," it was believed that in no more than an instant, over a hundred stars not far from this star, as well as the distant moon and the land below, would all hear the full-bodied shout.

Yun Zhongzi stood frozen.

So it turns out, he really relied on "shouting"!
