Ye Chuan broke through to the Great Principle Golden Immortal realm today, yet the bell tolls had already surpassed nine!
The moment the tenth bell toll rang out, the entire Taiyi Immortal Sect suddenly fell silent.
Lu Taixu abruptly raised his head. “Something’s wrong. Something’s wrong!”
That bell had not come from the ancient Dao-Seeking Bell of the Taiyi Immortal Sect.
Its sound seemed to originate from an extremely distant place, crossing countless miles of mountains and rivers before overlapping with the nine bell tolls that still lingered above the sect!
Dong—
The deep, resonant toll of the bell reverberated throughout heaven and earth!
The sea of clouds above the Taiyi Immortal Sect exploded outward. A golden ripple centered on Moon God Peak rapidly spread in all directions across the Eastern Wilderness.
Wherever it passed, whether over immortal sect elders cultivating in seclusion or ordinary cultivators traveling outside, everyone seemed to sense something. They instinctively raised their heads and looked toward the sky.
“This isn’t the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s bell!”
An Supreme Elder’s expression shifted slightly. His divine sense rapidly extended into the distance.
“The sound is coming from the direction of the Nine Heavens Sword Sect. That’s their ancient Sword-Seeking Bell in their ancestral grounds!”
The moment he finished speaking, the same bell toll rang out from another direction.
Then came a third, a fourth, and more!
One ancient immortal sect after another, each with a heritage stretching back countless years, began displaying the same phenomenon!
Some immortal bells trembled of their own accord. Phantom images of Imperial Weapons floated above ancestral grounds, while stone tablets that had lain dormant for millions of years slowly awakened!
Countless sect powerhouses emerged from their places of seclusion, all turning their gazes toward the Taiyi Immortal Sect!
“Who exactly broke through to cause such an enormous disturbance?”
“Has someone in the Taiyi Immortal Sect reached the Immortal King realm?”
“Impossible! The birth of an Immortal King can indeed produce a heavenly phenomenon, but it wouldn’t cause the guardian treasures of other sects to respond together!”
“This phenomenon resembles the recognition of the Heavenly Dao by an unparalleled prodigy!”
Discussion erupted throughout different regions of the Eastern Wilderness!
Deep within the ancestral grounds of the Nine Heavens Sword Sect.
Gu Changge stood on a stone platform suspended above a ten-thousand-zhang sword abyss. As he watched the ancient Sword-Seeking Bell continue to toll, an incredulous expression appeared on his face.
The day before yesterday, he had personally gone to the small town to recruit disciples.
At that time, Ye Chuan had merely been a Golden Immortal. Although his talent was unparalleled throughout the ages, Gu Changge had never imagined that in such a short time, he would have broken through from the peak of the Golden Immortal realm all the way to the peak of the Great Principle Golden Immortal realm!
What kind of joke was this?!
Two days?
Two major realms in two days?!
More importantly, the phenomenon caused by Ye Chuan’s breakthrough had actually awakened the Nine Heavens Sword Sect’s ancient Sword-Seeking Bell!
Several elders stood behind Gu Changge, their expressions solemn. One of them asked in a low voice, “Sect Master, could this phenomenon have something to do with Ye Chuan?”
Gu Changge did not answer immediately.
He raised his hand and formed a sword seal. Countless ancient characters instantly appeared around the ancient Sword-Seeking Bell.
These characters had existed for far too long, and most of them were already incomplete.
Only the section at the very center still radiated a faint golden light.
【When the Prodigy Stele appears, all ten thousand sects will resonate.】
【Whoever causes nine bells to toll may ascend to the top of the stele.】
Gu Changge stared at those lines for a moment, and his expression gradually became complicated.
“This phenomenon was caused by Ye Chuan.”
The several elders simultaneously drew in a sharp breath.
A breakthrough to the Great Principle Golden Immortal realm had actually alarmed every ancient immortal sect in the Eastern Wilderness?
What level of talent did that require?!
At the same time, the golden ripples above the Taiyi Immortal Sect finally spread to their limit.
The originally clear sky suddenly darkened.
The laws of the Great Dao manifested throughout heaven and earth. Countless golden chains extended from the depths of the void, converging toward the same destination!
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, an ancient stele ten thousand zhang tall slowly emerged.
The stele did not truly exist above the Taiyi Immortal Sect.
It was more like a projection reflected across heaven and earth. No matter where one was on the Profound Sky Continent, as long as one looked up at the sky, the writing on the stele could be seen clearly.
“The Prodigy Stele…”
Lu Taixu stared at the stele and was slightly stunned.
The ancient records of the Taiyi Immortal Sect contained information about it.
The Prodigy Stele existed within the origin of the continent’s Great Dao. It would only manifest of its own accord when someone truly capable of influencing an entire era appeared.
The last time it had appeared was already hundreds of thousands of years ago.
The person who had reached the top of the Prodigy Stele back then had eventually entered the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm, suppressing an entire era alone!
And now, the Prodigy Stele had appeared once again!
The surface of the stele was originally blank.
As golden laws continuously flowed across it, one name after another gradually emerged from within.
They were the most outstanding young cultivators of this generation on the Profound Sky Continent.
Some had already reached the Immortal Venerable realm, while others had mastered special Great Daos powerful enough to slay formidable enemies across realms.
Every one of these names was renowned throughout the outside world.
Yet at this moment, all those names began moving downward.
A brand-new name appeared at the very bottom of the stele, then began climbing upward at an incredibly domineering speed!
Ninety-seventh.
Seventy-second.
Thirty-fifth.
Eleventh!
The name continued rising without the slightest sign of slowing. Soon, it overtook the two unparalleled prodigies who had originally occupied the third and second positions!
At last, golden light came to a halt at the very top of the stele!
【First on the Prodigy Stele: Ye Chuan.】
【Affiliation: Taiyi Immortal Sect.】
【Cultivation Realm: Peak Great Principle Golden Immortal.】
【Great Dao Level: Unable to determine.】
【Foundation Potential: Unable to determine.】
After those few short lines appeared, the entire Profound Sky Continent fell into a brief silence.
Unable to determine?
The Prodigy Stele had existed for countless years and had even recorded the names of more than one Immortal Emperor during their youth!
Yet when faced with Ye Chuan, it had given two consecutive “unable to determine” evaluations?!
The disciples of the Taiyi Immortal Sect looked up at the stele, the shock on their faces impossible to conceal.
They knew Ye Chuan was powerful.
They also knew that Ye Chuan’s talent was terrifying beyond measure.
But they had never imagined that Ye Chuan’s name would appear directly in first place on the Profound Sky Continent’s Prodigy Stele!
The Prodigy Stele itself could not even determine his true potential!
Outside Moon God Peak, Ye Chuan also glanced up at the sky.
When he saw his name, there was not much excitement on his face. He was merely a little curious.
“Hmm… Does this ranking come with a reward?”
They couldn’t just give him a ranking without giving him anything, right?
Empty fame was still empty fame.
Lu Taixu: “…”
The excitement on the faces of the surrounding Supreme Elders instantly froze.
First place on the Profound Sky Continent’s Prodigy Stele!
A position countless cultivators would not even dare dream of reaching!
Yet the first thing Ye Chuan cared about was whether there was a reward.
Lan Xiaoke thought Ye Chuan’s question was perfectly reasonable. She also looked up and studied the stele for a while.
“It doesn’t seem to say anything about a reward, wo.”
“Then all that excitement was for nothing.” Ye Chuan withdrew his gaze.
Lu Taixu finally could not hold back and said, “Holy Son Ye, being first on the Prodigy Stele is itself an unparalleled honor!”
“From today onward, the entire Profound Sky Continent will know your name, and all the immortal sects will take the initiative to show goodwill toward the Taiyi Immortal Sect.”
“And whenever the Heaven’s Chosen Stele appears, it is usually accompanied by the opening of an ancient trial.”
Ye Chuan’s originally lackluster gaze brightened slightly.
“Oh? Are there rewards for the ancient trial?”
“Of course!”
Lu Taixu answered promptly. “Any trial capable of resonating with the Heaven’s Chosen Stele will leave behind, at the very least, an Immortal King-level inheritance and the origin of the Great Dao.”
Only then did Ye Chuan nod in satisfaction.
“Then this stele is at least somewhat useful.”
Just as the two were speaking, another surge of Great Dao fluctuations suddenly appeared beneath the Heaven’s Chosen Stele.
Another name slowly rose from the bottom of the stele.
Lin Fan.
His name rose far more slowly than Ye Chuan’s, but it still passed over the names of countless young prodigies from immortal sects who had already made a name for themselves thousands of years ago.
In the end, it stopped at ninth place.
[Ranked Ninth on the Heaven’s Chosen Stele: Lin Fan.]
[Affiliation: Taiyi Immortal Sect.]
[His future holds multiple possibilities and cannot yet be fully deduced.]
The disciples of the Taiyi Immortal Sect erupted into another commotion.
Before today, the vast majority of them had never even heard of Lin Fan.
Who could have imagined that, aside from Ye Chuan, the Taiyi Immortal Sect would have another young cultivator capable of entering the top ten of the Heaven’s Chosen Stele?
Two heaven’s chosen from one sect!
And one ranked first, while the other ranked ninth!
As their names finally stabilized, a resounding dragon’s roar suddenly rang out above the Taiyi Immortal Sect.
The sect’s already massive golden dragon of fortune soared into the sky from the depths of the main peak.
Vast amounts of golden fortune descended from the Heaven’s Chosen Stele and continuously merged into the dragon of fortune.
In just a few moments, its size had nearly doubled!
The immortal qi throughout the Taiyi Immortal Sect also became far denser.
Quite a few disciples who had been stuck at bottlenecks for years suddenly gained enlightenment the instant the sect’s fortune rose, breaking through to the next realm on the spot!
When Lu Taixu witnessed this scene, the smile on his face could no longer be restrained.
He, the sect master, had done absolutely nothing.
Yet the overall fortune of the Taiyi Immortal Sect had directly risen to an entirely new level!
What Ye Chuan had brought was far more than just a Holy Son.
He was clearly an ancestor capable of sending the entire sect soaring on the spot!
