The vast East Sea, boundless blue waves.
Immortal Mountains stand tall, Divine Islands tower abruptly.
More than a hundred thousand miles away from Golden Turtle Island lies a small island.
The island is filled with countless treasures, radiating brilliant glow year-round, illuminating every detail on the island both day and night, brightly shining.
Because it is difficult to distinguish day from night on this island, it is also called Fixed Light Island.
This island is also the Daoist site of Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal from the Jie Sect.
At this moment, in a luxurious Treasure Hall deep within the Immortal Island, Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal looked up, tipping an Jade Pot into his mouth, his face full of gloom and frustration.
Beside him, a group of Immortals dressed in light red sheer silks never ceased their melodious talking and gentle whispers.
At a glance, it was a scene of unlimited springtime allure.
In the past, faced with such a tempting and provocative scene, Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal would have indulged in the Yin Yang Union, but now he had absolutely no interest in such matters.
"Still no one has come?"
Putting down the Jade Pot, Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal asked with red eyes.
The attendant Daoist boy shook his head, "No one has been seen ... I will go out again to look..."
"Bang!"
The Jade Pot shattered in the hall, and Jade Nectar Immortal Brew spilled all over the ground.
A rich fragrance immediately spread, blending with the original scent of makeup, creating an overwhelmingly strong aroma.
The voices of the women in the hall briefly stumbled.
It was unknown whether it was because of the intoxication from the liquor, or due to the anger accumulated in his heart, but Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal's face was somewhat pale, his eyes, however, were glaringly red.
"Bang!"
He heavily slapped the table in front of him, causing the beautifully carved multicolored inlaid table to instantly turn to dust.
The small Daoist boy was shocked with a pale face, hurriedly scolding, "No wonder master is so angry! Every time master returned to Fixed Light Island in the past, those guys would rush to curry favor."
Now that they see the master punished by the Sect Hierarch, they are nowhere to be found!
Pah! A bunch of opportunistic villains!"
Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal glanced at the Daoist boy, "They are opportunistic villains, true, but you got one thing wrong. They dare not come to Fixed Light Island not because I was punished by the Sect Hierarch, but because they do not want to get involved in the conflict between me and that Yu Yuan..."
Saying this, he felt both sides of his face burning with pain again.
The two slaps in public did not just bring him physical pain.
It was also a trampling and ravaging of his dignity, publicly smashed underfoot!
This matter cannot end like this!
If that Yu Yuan does not pay a price, then he could forget about raising his head in front of the disciples of the Jie Sect ever again!
At this moment, his heart slightly stirred, and using his power, he looked towards the outside of the hall.
He saw several lines of gray light quickly flying from the distant sky, landing in front of the island revealing their figures, all bowed in unison, the leader loudly said: "Lv Yue from Nine Dragons Island, along with several fellow Qi Refiners, specially come to pay respects to senior brother!"
"Someone has come!"
Hearing the movement, the small Daoist boy was both shocked and delighted.
"Now only they could come."
Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal spoke while waving his hand.
Those Immortals dressed in thin red silk chirped indignantly and twisted their slender waists as they stood up to leave.
The small Daoist boy also brought out a new table and cleaned the chaotic and dirty areas inside the hall.
In an instant, the great hall was as good as new.
Afterward, he went outside to greet the guests.
Moments later, Lv Yue, Zhou Xin, and a group of Qi Refiners from Nine Dragons Island entered the island, led by the small Daoist boy to the hall, bowing to the self-serving Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal.
Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal returned the salute, invited them to sit, then instructed the small Daoist boy to serve a variety of delicacies and Spirit Fruit Immortal Brew.
The group exchanged toasts and conversed with great enjoyment.
After the wine had been filled for the third round and the dishes had been changed five times, Zhou Xin was the first to angrily speak up: "That Yu Yuan is truly arrogant! Relying on his status as an Inner Sect Disciple to act tyrannically, he initially reverted me and brother Li Qi to our original forms, and even set fire to brother Lv Yue's Medicine Garden...
And now, he actually in front of so many people to you, senior brother... Alas!"
He did not continue, just heaved a heavy sigh, full of indignation, as if the slaps were on his own face.
Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal chuckled, waving his hand lightly.
A stream of blue Immortal Light bloomed, spreading outwards creating a barrier that sealed off the entire Fixed Light Island.
Only after doing all this did he calmly speak: "Some words are not meant for outsiders."
"Indeed indeed."
Lv Yue nodded repeatedly.
The atmosphere instantly became harmonious.
Lv Yue looked at Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal, speaking seriously: "Brother, you being publicly humiliated by that Yu Yuan this time is exactly as we initially were! Therefore, we can understand the frustration in brother's heart...
Thus, we came here today intending to join brother and the other several disciples who were robbed by him in Eastern Emperor Heaven, to file a complaint with the Sect Hierarch, and make sure he doesn't get away with it!"
Upon hearing this, Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal couldn't help but scoff.
"It's not that your brother looks down on you, but those little schemes of yours are simply not enough in Yu Yuan's eyes."
He looked at the somewhat unsettled faces of Lv Yue and others, "Even if Yu Yuan went to Nine Dragons Island now to give you a beating, what difference does it make?
Do you think the Sect Hierarch, the Saint, would care about these trivial matters?"
"..."
Lv Yue and the others looked at each other.
"Alas!"
Lv Yue sighed, feeling somewhat gloomy, "When elder brother was serving in Biyou Palace, Yu Yuan was still drifting somewhere unknown. Who would have thought that the Sect Hierarch would favor him so much!"
"You are mistaken."
Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal shook his head, "The Sect Hierarch isn't favoring him; instead, he was outwitted by him!"
"Hiss—"
Lv Yue, Zhou Xin, Yang Qi, and others unconsciously drew in a breath of cold air,
"The Sect Hierarch was outwitted by him?!"
Lv Yue exclaimed in shock, "How is that possible?! The Sect Hierarch is a Saint, how could he be outwitted by him?"
Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal said calmly, "That day, he took advantage of the situation and created a ruckus on Sky Termination Peak. What do you think his purpose was?"
Without hesitation, Lv Yue responded, "Naturally, he was unwilling to hand over the Chaos Bell!"
"Wrong!"
Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal shook his head, "If he was merely reluctant to hand over the Chaos Bell, he could have just said so within Biyou Palace. Could the Sect Hierarch really have snatched his treasure by force?"
"That's right!" Lv Yue and others nodded in deep agreement, "After all, the Chaos Bell could still fulfill its role in suppressing the destiny in his possession. If he didn't hand over the Chaos Bell, it would have even spared the Sect Hierarch a superior Spiritual Treasure."
"But he specifically chose to take advantage of the situation and created a disturbance…" Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal continued solemnly, "Upon revisiting the incident, I've realized that his actions weren't meant to keep his Chaos Bell, but were aimed at the Sect Hierarch's Chaos Bell Fragments!"
"He's got some nerve!"
Lv Yue said, incredulously, "He dared to scheme against a Saintly Sect Hierarch, isn't he afraid of provoking the Sect Hierarch and getting smacked to death?"
Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal shook his head, "Our Sect Hierarch has always been easy-going and unconstrained, not minding the minor details. It must have been this trait that Yu Yuan took advantage of to take the risk...
However, such scheming is ultimately disrespectful to a Saint. Even if the Sect Hierarch could tolerate him once, it will still displease him!
In my view, even if he obtained the Chaos Bell Fragments, the price he paid would far exceed his expectations."
Lv Yue also realized this and nodded in agreement, "Elder brother speaks wisely; his act of infuriating the Saintly Sect Hierarch for the sake of Chaos Bell Fragments was indeed unwise!
But after all, it's just a fragment; he really treated it as if it were an Innate Treasure!"
Zhou Xin burst into laughter nearby, "These past few days, many fellow disciples from the outer sect have been discussing this matter, all thinking that Yu Yuan is ridiculously foolish! If he had handed over the Chaos Bell, he could have exchanged it for a superior Spiritual Treasure.
But now, he only got another fragment, and putting two fragments together, it's still just a slightly larger fragment after all, how can it compare with the superior Spiritual Treasures?"
"After all, he has only cultivated for a thousand years; it's inevitable he's ambitious and prideful!"
"Give it another few thousand or ten thousand years, and he will realize that the fragment he painstakingly obtained is nothing more than scrap metal!"
"By then, he will wholly regret his previous actions!"
"That is, if he can live until then… With his actions in Eastern Emperor Heaven, he has already incurred countless karmic debts, and it's just a matter of time before he's settled!"
The immortals exchanged words one after another, filled with "wonderful" fantasies about the future.
At this moment, seeing Long-ear Ding Guang Immortal, who was sitting at the head of the table, merely smiling quietly, Lv Yue was struck by a thought and asked in a deep voice, "I wonder if elder brother has any good strategies that can allow us to properly vent this grievance?"
"This matter is both difficult and easy,"
Long-ear Ding Guang Immortal smiled, "Within the Jie Sect, he is protected by elder sister Golden Spirit, and we don't have many good methods against him. But outside... it's simply a matter of how we want to play it."
Lv Yue understood, but hesitated, "But such conduct, if it were to be known to the Saintly Sect Hierarch—"
"It doesn't matter."
Long-ear Ding Guang Immortal replied assuredly, "The Sect Hierarch has said before, as the calamity approaches and the heavenly mechanism becomes chaotic, even he can no longer see clearly. Besides, we don't need to act personally, have you not just mentioned?
He has entangled himself with so many karmic debts, it will only be a matter of time before he's settled... We are just offering some help."
Lv Yue's eyes brightened, and he joyfully said, "Elder brother speaks wisely! As long as we can vent this grievance, we will all follow elder brother's orders from here on!"
"Good, good! We will be in the same boat from now on."
…
At the same time.
Yu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, unable to hide the joy in his eyes.
Since returning from Eastern Emperor Heaven, he had stayed inside Tian Yuan Palace, not stepping out of the door.
With both fragments in hand, he immersed himself in his work.
Today, he had finally succeeded in refining the Chaos Bell.
This broken Innate Treasure finally succumbed under his forceful impact, every part of it branded with his mark.
The moment the last Primordial Spirit Seal was imprinted on the restriction, the two ancient, mottled Chaos Bell Fragments suddenly burst with light and fused together on their own, merging into a larger fragment.
Simultaneously, in the clear skies over billions of miles of the East Sea, a colossal and majestic Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud suddenly appeared, enveloping the skies above Penglai Immortal Island like a canopy.
Above Penglai Immortal Island, countless Seven-Colored Treasure Lotuses also sprung up out of nowhere, emitting billions of auspicious colorful lights.
A majestic aura swept from the center of Penglai Immortal Island in all directions.
All sentient beings in the East Sea with awakened Spiritual Wisdom were all shocked and looked towards the direction from where this majestic aura originated.
Even many beings with lower Spiritual Wisdom paused their actions and bowed in the direction of Penglai Immortal Island.
At the same time, Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal and Lv Yue, who were indulging in a lively exchange in the Treasure Hall on Long Light Island, all flashed out of the hall, looking at the sky full of colorful auspicious light with uncertain expressions.
Is this the emergence of a superior Innate Spiritual Treasure?
Or has an Innate Divine been transformed?
Why is there such a commotion!
Lv Yue, feeling the atmosphere, suddenly had a guess.
"Looking at this aura, it seems to be coming from Penglai Holy Realm... Could it be that the Chaos Bell has been refined?"
"That's impossible! It can't be!"
Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal asserted definitively, "It's just two fragments; they definitely can't cause such a big commotion! It must be something else... Yes, that must be it!"
Lv Yue glanced at him.
Somehow, he felt a sour taste in the air.
