Chapter 54 Hidden Clues: The Pretending Hunter Gets Pecking at the Eyes by the Goose
"Could it be the Golden Rules of the Golden Laws? If that's the case, no wonder this bell is destined for me. Who else in this primordial world is the most rule-abiding deity besides the Primordial Heavenly Lord? Naturally, it must be destined for the Jade Void Palace."
Guang Chengzi was quite pleased after learning the name of the golden bell.
The Golden Bell, as its name suggests, is a bell of rules and regulations, a manifestation of the rules in the unseen world.
The bell is a ritual instrument and a derivative of many rules. All things move in accordance with the sound of the bell. Even the three innate treasures that were formed from the broken Heaven-Opening Axe have the appearance of a bell, namely the Chaos Bell.
Other treasures might fall into the hands of others, but something like the bell has always been confined to the realm of order. Even the most chaotic order is better than eternal chaos. Those who are fearless in their chaos will never obtain the bell. Even if they forcibly refine it, its power will be only mediocre.
Upon seeing the Golden Ruler Bell, Guang Chengzi was able to determine that there was another object, the Jade Ruler, as always.
The Golden Bell alone ranks among the top-grade innate spiritual treasures. If it can be combined with the Jade Law, it will immediately become a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. Moreover, it is born from rules and regulations, and is most effective against those who are chaotic.
"Rules cannot be broken, for all things follow the rules. In that case, I will give you a gift."
Guang Chengzi had already grasped most of the mysteries of the Golden Bell. With just a slight change of mind, he immediately thought of how to use this treasure and how to teach this person a lesson so that he would know not to harm others again.
Three days later, Xing Tian remained hidden beneath the earth, coldly watching those so-called destined people approach this place, which he could use to continue reaping the benefits of the world's suffering.
Suddenly, Xing Tian's expression changed drastically. He immediately turned around and saw that the golden bell, which had been located in the forest, had slowly vanished like a phantom.
Upon seeing this, Xing Tian immediately understood that a destined person must have secretly hidden among them while he was relaxing, and later used an unknown method to take away the golden bell.
Only now did he realize that this feeling immediately filled him with shame and indignation, making him furious and so angry that he felt like he could vomit blood.
It was fate that Xing Tian met Jin Guizhong. If he had taken it down in time, it would have been fine. But he wanted to use it to plot against the demons, so he refused to move and let the bell call for the destined person.
His original plan was to kill two birds with one stone, gaining both people and wealth. And the result was indeed as he expected. Several demons were indeed attracted here, and that's how he got the tiger skirt and rabbit boots.
Not long after, Kim Gyu-jong began calling for a destined person again, and Xing Tian immediately hid among them, waiting for that person to walk into his trap.
To his utter surprise, he ended up being the one pecked in the eye by the geese, despite his daily hunting efforts.
The thought of losing the Golden Bell caused Xing Tian unbearable heartache. Although the Witch Clan had difficulty refining innate spiritual treasures, high-grade innate spiritual treasures were still extremely precious. Keeping them within the Witch Clan could suppress their fortune and enhance their origins. Their various wonderful uses were too numerous to list in a short time.
As a result, he lost it right under his nose. Even killing several Taiyi Golden Immortals of the demon race could not make up for such a loss!
But once something is lost, it's lost forever. No matter how much Xing Tian hated it, he couldn't get it back. In the end, he could only dejectedly decide to return to the Dijiang tribe.
Just as he set off, a tremendous, almost inaudible bell rang out, like thunder, bursting forth in all directions, booming and rolling incessantly, so loud that Xing Tian's ears went deaf and his eyes went blank, and for a moment he did not know what was happening.
It wasn't until a huge golden bell descended from the sky and enveloped Xing Tian that he realized the person who possessed the bell hadn't left yet. He had simply used some minor tricks to hide the golden bell, while actually staying in place to watch him act. Only now did he finally unleash his full power and launch a sneak attack on him.
"How dare you!"
Xing Tian's eyes flashed with cold light, and his dark face was flushed with anger. It was clear that he had a great desire to kill this arrogant person in one blow!
But these bell tolls contained a mysterious power; the rolling thunder seemed to shake the heavens and earth, and the entire Buzhou Mountain served as a support behind it, roaring in with a strong Pangu aura, directly covering Xing Tian's face.
Enveloped by the aura of Pangu, Xing Tian suddenly felt weak all over, unable to exert even a fraction of his strength. He could only watch helplessly as Jin Guizhong reappeared, followed by a handsome young man with a smile on his lips who emerged from the shadows.
Guang Chengzi looked at Xing Tian, who was pressed to the ground, panting and unable to move, and laughed: "I am Guang Chengzi. Thank you, Fellow Daoist Xing Tian, for protecting my treasure for so many years. Otherwise, I'm afraid it would have been taken by someone else long ago. Thank you again."
After speaking, Guang Chengzi actually followed suit and bowed deeply to Xing Tian several times, which made the man grit his teeth in anger. He felt a surge of anger in his chest and wished he could vomit three liters of blood, but he could only suppress it.
"Fine—you bastard, Guangcheng!" Xing Tian said tremblingly, "If you have the guts—if you have the guts, then kill me! Otherwise, one day I'll kill you first!"
Guang Chengzi laughed heartily at this, but didn't make a move at all. He flew away again, leaving only a sentence behind before disappearing without a trace.
"Fellow Daoist Xingtian, do you think I'm a fool? If I really make a move, I'm afraid I'll immediately disperse all this Pangu aura, and you'll be free to come and kill me. Besides, even if you let me kill you, I can't kill you. I'll leave now. Fellow Daoist, you carry a murderous aura. Why don't you stay here and seclude yourself for a million years to reflect on your mistakes? I'll take my leave now."
Seeing that this person wasn't buying it, Xing Tian had nothing to say. His previously shameful and indignant expression vanished instantly, replaced by a cold and aloof demeanor, as he waited for millions of years to pass.
Seeing Xing Tian sealed here, Guang Chengzi smiled and flew towards the summit of Buzhou Mountain, finding the Golden Bell extremely useful.
Jin Guizhong's greatest skill was mobilizing the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, then weaving rules into them, and commanding the many Great Daos to act according to those rules.
These rules are up to Guang Chengzi to write however he likes, but if these rules are too outrageous, even if they can be implemented, they will greatly diminish Guang Chengzi's magical power.
For example, the rule that flames cannot burn on trees, but trees can grow on flames; and that flames will not go out underwater but will spread, is something that Guang Chengzi does not have the power to achieve.
But Guang Chengzi wasn't that foolish. The rules he had just established were to transform Pangu's aura into a force to suppress the Wu tribe. The Wu tribe had always respected Pangu immensely, so they would naturally find it difficult to resist the suppression of Pangu's aura, and they would not resist it, because dispersing Pangu's aura was equivalent to dispersing Pangu himself, and the Wu tribe would naturally not do that.
Therefore, Xing Tian deliberately provoked Guang Chengzi to make a move. If the other party made a move, he would definitely disperse some of Pangu's aura, which would give him the opportunity to escape and kill the little thief with a single palm strike.
Unfortunately, Guang Chengzi wasn't that stupid. He took this opportunity to escape and instead suppressed a great witch for a million years, thus clearing the way for his three junior brothers.
