The collapsing Xuanzhen Mountain turned into sludge under the pressure of the seawater, flowing downward according to the terrain.

The entire mountain transforming into a mudslide was an unimaginably majestic force.

However, the enormous black Godslaying Bell still stood, enclosing the surging mudslide within its bounds, preventing it from spreading outward.

The Godslaying Bell's triangular, eight-sided shape was also peculiar, resembling a black pyramid, completely different from a regular copper bell.

But since no one was harnessing its power, the Godslaying Bell only maintained its form for a few breaths before naturally retracting into a streak of black light and falling onto the iron token.

With no barrier, the mudslide surged unimpeded, turning the surroundings into a watery expanse in the blink of an eye.

Yuanbao and Shui Qingbo were greatly shocked upon witnessing the immense might. Such natural power was beyond the reach of any Nascent Soul powerhouse.

However, seeing that Gao Xuan was unharmed, they both rejoiced. They had been extremely worried earlier.

Gao Xuan gracefully landed next to the two women, his robes billowing, his demeanor elegant. However, the Kunyuan Divine Spear in his hand was conspicuous and didn't match his celestial demeanor.

Yuanbao didn't care about this, she rushed over and grabbed Gao Xuan's left hand, tears in her eyes, saying, "We thought something happened to you, brother, we were scared to death..."

As she spoke, she hugged Gao Xuan and began to cry loudly. Initially, she had been holding back her tears, but seeing Gao Xuan safe and sound, she felt both happy and a bit frightened and wronged, making her cry even more intensely.

Shui Qingbo, embarrassed to cry like Yuanbao, said softly, "It's good that you're okay."

Gao Xuan nodded to Shui Qingbo and affectionately patted the head of the coy Yuanbao in his arms, "The mere Xuanzhen Sect is no match at all. Hahaha..."

Shui Qingbo knew Gao Xuan was joking. This victory seemed easy, but witnessing the circumstances, she knew how perilous the battle had been.

Yuanbao took it seriously, wiped her tears, and smiled happily, "Brother is mighty, brother is awesome."

Unlike Yuanbao, Shui Qingbo was not so carefree. She asked with concern, "Brother, what was that streak of black light that fled?"

"It seemed like a token. Probably for communication use."

Gao Xuan said, "It might have been left by the ancestors of the Xuanzhen Sect. After all, Xuanzhen Sect also came from elsewhere. No need to worry. It's been thousands of years; if Xuanzhen Sect had managed to contact the outside, they would have done so long ago..."

He wasn't too concerned. After all, he didn't know the details of the matter, and caring wouldn't help.

Looking at the watery land below, Shui Qingbo sighed, "It's a pity that Xuanzhen Sect's thousands of years of accumulation all went to waste."

She truly felt regret for it. Xuanzhen Sect had dominated Penglai Province for thousands of years, amassing countless treasures through plunder.

But once washed away by the sea, all of Xuanzhen Sect's foundations were gone.

"Xuanzhen Sect's foundations are here."

Gao Xuan shook the black iron token in his hand towards Shui Qingbo, "Given the Godslaying Bell's divine nature, integrated with Xuanzhen Mountain, Xuanzhen Sect naturally placed their foundations inside the Godslaying Bell."

Shui Qingbo became somewhat delighted, "That's great."

She then turned slightly worried, "Brother, can you refine the Godslaying Bell?"

Judging from Li Xuan Ye's situation, he barely managed to control the Godslaying Bell, leading to such a dismal state. He was directly drowned by Gao Xuan's water in Xuanzhen.

"It's not that difficult."

Gao Xuan said leisurely, "I've gained some understanding from Li Xuan Ye's Yaksha King."

When the Karma Fire Red Lotus bloomed, the karmic fire surged and nearly annihilated his divine soul. During that unexpected change, Gao Xuan's divine soul was refined, gaining a fundamental enhancement in level.

The Six-winged Celestial Cicada, Undying Celestial Cicada, and Mechanical Battle Cicada also fully fused.

The most immediate feeling Gao Xuan had was the great increase in Spirituality of the Six-winged Celestial Cicada. In this world, any magic performed before him could almost be fully comprehended for its variations.

The Profound Sun Sword, Godslaying Bell, such divine artifact transformations could never escape the detection of the Six-winged Celestial Cicada.

Though Li Xuan Ye's Yaksha King was exquisite, it was merely at the Nascent Soul level. The Six-winged Celestial Cicada instantly grasped the core essence of Li Xuan Ye's mana.

Based on this insight, though Gao Xuan didn't dare say he could fully refine the Yaksha King, mimicking it to seventy or eighty percent was no problem.

Li Xuan Ye had barely managed to leave some divine sense imprint on the Godslaying Bell, far from fully refining it.

By imitating Li Xuan Ye's divine sense transformation, a ferocious and fierce Yaksha King naturally appeared behind Gao Xuan.

The Godslaying Bell, originally impervious, finally opened its outer restriction under Gao Xuan's persistent probing.

The Spirituality of the Six-winged Celestial Cicada once again played a crucial role, constantly advising Gao Xuan on adjusting his mana and divine sense changes.

Moreover, the Six-winged Celestial Cicada retained the precision of the Mechanical Battle Cicada. Its operations were like a super Light Computer, capable of simulating countless alterations with divine sense primordial Qi in an instant.

Though the power of the Godslaying Bell was immense, it was still a lifeless object. The key was that Li Xuan Ye left too simplistic a divine sense imprint, which the Six-winged Celestial Cicada easily deciphered.

Gao Xuan delved into the restrictions of the Godslaying Bell, erased all of Li Xuan Ye's divine sense imprints, and left his own unique Six-winged Celestial Cicada imprint.

Besides the Six-winged Celestial Cicada, no one else could control the Godslaying Bell.

The Godslaying Bell had a total of three hundred and sixty layers of restrictions, truly showcasing the depth and substance befitting a divine artifact.

Li Xuan Ye could barely refine the first six layers of restrictions. In Gao Xuan's hands, he unlocked thirty-six layers of restrictions on the Godslaying Bell. Although he was still far from fully controlling the Godslaying Bell, he was much stronger than Li Xuan Ye.

The second layer of restrictions on the Godslaying Bell forms an independent universe, an extremely arrogant expansive space. Placing Xuanzhen Mountain inside would not be a problem.

Inside, the ancestors of the Xuanzhen Sect constructed a massive warehouse, storing various magical artifacts, spiritual objects, and heavenly and earthly treasures. Everything a practitioner could need, including various talisman papers and cinnabar, was available.

This treasure vault is much larger than that of the Celestial Secret Sect.

Gao Xuan took a cursory glance, finding over a hundred spiritual artifacts. In the most prominent and important position at the top level, several items were solemnly placed.

The most eye-catching were three crimson stones, each the size of a fist, entirely crimson-red. They contained a Pure Yang aura.

Gao Xuan didn't know their use but could sense the high quality of these stones. Comparing them, they seemed to be divine objects at the same level as the Karma Fire Golden Lotus.

There was also a deep blue Daoist robe. The surface of the robe had no patterns or embroidery, only deep blue water-like ripples that flowed back and forth.

This robe appeared to be a divine artifact, but the water element primordial qi was too rich.

Unable to harness the water element primordial qi, putting on this divine artifact would soon lead to being assimilated by the water element primordial qi.

It would suit Shui Qingbo, after all. She possesses the Innate Five Elements Dao Body and can easily harness the Five Elements Power.

Of course, Gao Xuan could also wear it, but he believed he wouldn't stay in this world for long, and the items couldn't be taken with him, so there was no need to waste them.

Besides these, there was also a golden-red feather.

The feather looked like a bird's tail feather, emitting a pure Nanming Li Flame aura.

Is this the tail feather of the Vermilion Bird?

The Vermilion Bird is the essence of Separation Flame, the strongest divine bird controlling fire in the world.

In the Cultivation Realm, the primordial qi level is too low, and such divine birds are no longer seen.

The Vermilion Bird Ring in Gao Xuan's hand was merely refined with Vermilion Bird True Flame. In terms of power, it was far inferior to the Vermilion Bird tail feather.

After a sweep, the most precious items were these three.

Besides this, Gao Xuan also found some cultivation secret techniques and the hand notes left by the successive ancestors of the Xuanzhen Sect.

"Nine Nether Yasha King," "Extreme Night Profound Emperor Scripture," "Profound Sun Sword Technique"…

Among these secret techniques, the most crucial was undoubtedly the "Extreme Night Profound Emperor Scripture." Gao Xuan skimmed it, gaining a new understanding of the Xuanzhen Sect's secret techniques.

For Gao Xuan, the most valuable were the hand notes left by the ancestors of the Xuanzhen Sect.

Through these notes, he learned the true origins of the Xuanzhen Sect.

The ancestor of the Xuanzhen Sect turned out to be an immortal from the Immortal Realm, known as Extreme Night Immortal Monarch. For some reason, he came to this world and founded the Profound Emperor Sect.

Thousands of years ago, internal strife split the Profound Emperor Sect into several factions. At that time, the Mahayana Dao Venerable traveled far to the East Sea and eventually established the Xuanzhen Sect in Penglai Province.

Coincidentally, a Five-Colored Divine Stone fell into the East Sea then. Everyone knew this was an ultimate treasure of the Immortal Realm, sparking fierce battles among various sects to seize this treasure.

As a result, even the Mahayana Dao Venerable of the Xuanzhen Sect was severely injured and soon perished.

According to the books, several major sects were destroyed at that time, including the Five Elements Sect.

Conversely, some second- and third-tier sects like the Celestial Secret Sect miraculously survived.

After that battle, the top-tier powers of the East Sea nearly all perished. Since then, even Divinity Transformation powerhouses have been rare in the East Sea.

Only upon finishing these notes did Gao Xuan realize that the East Sea once held considerable strength.

No wonder the Xuanzhen Sect's foundation was so deep, far surpassing the Celestial Secret Sect. It was just Li Xuan Ye and company who were too incompetent.

Gao Xuan was a bit curious as to who ended up with the Five-Colored Divine Stone?

A divine object that drove even Mahayana Dao Venerables mad must be exceedingly marvelous. He really wanted to witness it. Hmm, just take a look at it…

The notes also recorded some thoughts and ideas of the successive ancestors of the Xuanzhen Sect.

As the Xuanzhen Sect gradually declined, the ancestors wanted to merge the Godslaying Bell with another divine artifact.

The body of the Godslaying Bell is said to weigh twelve billion nine hundred eighty million pounds, making it extremely heavy and difficult to wield against enemies.

If it could be combined with other divine artifacts, who in the world could rival the Xuanzhen Sect?

The three Sun Fire Essence Stones and the Vermilion Bird tail feather were meant to refine the Godslaying Bell.

However, as each generation of the Xuanzhen Sect was weaker than the last, they struggled to wield the Godslaying Bell, let alone fuse it with other divine artifacts.

Upon reading this, Gao Xuan couldn't help but laugh; the Xuanzhen Sect was too considerate, arranging everything for him!

He couldn't help but nod in approval and remark: What good people!
