"Ahead lies the Yunlu Daoist Palace."
On the fifth day of arriving at Zhongnan University, the final area of the Yuelu Mountain Secret Realm finally appeared before Ye Qingzhou's eyes.
Yuan Zhiyi and Zeng Jixia stood at the front of the group at this time, introducing loudly the ancient building filled with Daoist charm, bathed in radiant light at dawn and dusk, and full of myriad weather phenomena.
Yunlu Daoist Palace is located on the right peak of Yuelu Mountain and is one of the seventy-two blessed lands of the Mystical Sect. It is currently managed by the people from Three Pure Ones Mountain.
"Senior Brother Wang!"
"Junior Brother Lei."
Leon saw his senior brother Wang Xuancheng from Three Pure Ones Mountain and was quite delighted: "Senior Brother Wang, why were you sent to Star City?"
Wang Xuance smiled without much explanation, bowed to Ye Qingzhou and the others, and said, "Everyone, Master Zhengyang is waiting for you in the Three Pristine Hall. Please follow me."
"Much obliged."
Xu Lan led Ye Qingzhou and the others into the Yunlu Daoist Palace to meet Master Zhengyang.
Inside the Three Pristine Hall, a middle-aged man dressed in a feather robe sat on a mat, covered in a glow of green clouds and purple smoke, full of Daoist charm.
His figure was slightly lean, not tall or particularly strong, yet he exuded an aura of solemn majesty, invoking respect and awe from anyone who approached.
Ye Qingzhou focused intently and saw that with each breath, the Daoist had lightning and thunder flowing, a deep and vast aura between inhalations and exhalations, with a spiritual realm no less than Gu Minghui's.
Three Pure Ones Mountain deserves its reputation as the leading mystical sect's elite martial arts school today, with profound heritage.
Every random secret realm base had a master-level expert.
Wang Xuancheng sought Master Zhengyang's permission and, upon receiving it, took Ye Qingzhou and the others on a tour of the Yunlu Daoist Palace.
The Daoist Palace was built on the mountain top, surrounded by beautiful scenery with pine, phoenix trees, and other trees planted around.
Of particular note, on one side of the Daoist Palace, there was a spectacular sight called the Flying Stone.
This peculiar stone, located under the ginkgo tree on Yunlu Peak, had a unique shape, seemingly flown from the heavens, hence its name.
The top of the stone was broad, about ten feet square, with a flat surface suitable for resting or taking a short break.
The Flying Stone was not only Yuelu Mountain's unique natural wonder but had also been a holy site with thriving incense offerings, enshrining the Ancestor Zhenwu's statue, with frequent visits from people seeking blessings and averting disasters.
On the ginkgo tree, there hung a large, ancient-looking bell, covered in thick moss, making it difficult to notice its existence without careful observation.
Ye Qingzhou's attention was caught by this large bell, with a vague stirring in his heart.
Seeing this, Wang Xuancheng smiled and introduced it to Ye Qingzhou, saying, "This bell and the Flying Stone 'flew' here together, initially named the Flying Bell. Because this bell bears similarity to the copper bell our Profound Sect uses for rest practices, ringing it can cleanse one's mind. Its clear, resonant sound echoes far and wide, attracting itinerant Daoists from afar, hence also called the Self-Ringing Bell."
Leon was delighted upon hearing this: "This is the Self-Ringing Bell?"
Clearly, he knew more valuable information.
As someone naturally unable to keep secrets, Leon couldn't help but boast to everyone: "I've heard of the Self-Ringing Bell's renown. It's said that this bell's sound contains an extremely advanced thunder technique."
Seeing everyone's gaze on him, Wang Xuancheng smiled and bowed, "The Thunder Skill is within the bell's sound; those with fate can grasp it."
The thunder technique of Three Pure Ones Mountain stands out in Dongji Kingdom, renowned far and wide.
However, the thunder technique is not exclusive to Three Pure Ones Mountain. The Self-Ringing Bell, in the end, belongs to Star City's property; the ownership is with the official hand. Three Pure Ones Mountain only manages it temporarily and has no right to prevent others from comprehending the Thunder Sound Secret Technique from the Self-Ringing Bell.
Thus, Wang Xuancheng generously allowed Ye Qingzhou and the others to try.
In his view, without sufficient spiritual realm, one can't grasp the Thunder Sound Secret Technique; they may not even get a chance to hear it.
"Haha, don't move, I'll go first this time!"
Leon drew his sword, Sword Qi bursting out with electric light, hitting the Self-Ringing Bell, producing a resonant ding sound.
Then, nothing happened.
Miao Yi looked disdainful: "Leon, didn't you eat? If not, step aside and watch me demonstrate the true essence of thunderous might!"
With that, Miao Blade was unsheathed, and Miao Yi leaped into the air, stepping on the ginkgo tree branches with agility and dexterity, like a monkey in the mountains.
One saw him swiftly and fiercely driving the blade, the blade following his body's turn, chopping with overwhelming force after leaping high, triggering Thunder's Inner Breath.
The Miao Blade's path, Thunderous, Roaring Tiger!
Roar~
As the blade came out, it was indeed like a tiger swallowing ten thousand miles, with earth-shattering power.
Before the blade arrived, its momentum was already imposing, surprising many in the group: "Miao Yi, who was so silent, has actually progressed so much recently?"
Clang~
The stirring bell sound echoed far and wide, clearly audible within a mile radius.
After landing, Miao Yi looked very pleased, casually twirling the blade a few times before sheathing it.
"Impossible, my slash was clearly not weak, why couldn't it activate the bell sound?"
Leon was very puzzled by this.
He first looked at Wang Xuancheng, who, unfortunately, said nothing and just smiled at him, clearly indicating that Leon should comprehend the answer himself.
Subsequently, Leon turned his gaze to Ye Qingzhou. Indeed, he couldn't solve this problem, but the living reference answer was right beside him, so why waste effort trying to figure it out himself?
