Ever since successfully acquiring the Spirit Treasure - Donghuang Bell, Jiang Che and Nangong Luo had returned to Tiger King Ridge and once again went into hiding, disappearing from the external world.

At Nangong Luo's suggestion, Jiang Che began to retreat to refine the Donghuang Bell. Compared to the Heaven-Slaying Spear, the Donghuang Bell contained more and more complex restrictions, and fully refining it was not a simple task.

Moreover, Jiang Che was eager to refine the Donghuang Bell as soon as possible, for he anticipated the power of this Spirit Treasure.

Time flows like water; in the blink of an eye, half a month passed.

Peach Grove Valley.

Everything was normal. Nangong Luo closed her eyes and focused, immersed in the Cyan Stone Pool, while Spiritual Qi outside surged continuously and roiled around Nangong Luo.

Little Purple chirped a few times, bouncing around on the peach trees, leaping from one peach tree to another, enjoying itself thoroughly. Occasionally, it would cautiously approach the edge of a branch, extend its head, and lick the fragrant Spiritual Peach, showing a satisfied expression.

A moment later, in the Cyan Stone Pool, Nangong Luo guided the last converted strand of Spiritual Power within her body into the Demon Pill, then slowly opened her eyes.

"Alas, it's improving too slowly!"

Feeling her training progress, a trace of helplessness flashed in Nangong Luo's eyes, and she sighed inwardly.

Actually, compared to when she was human in her previous life, her training speed was much faster now, even surpassing many Revivers.

Yet in comparison to her elder brother and the Willow God, she was still very much inferior.

Slowly rising, Nangong Luo exited the Cyan Stone Pool, turned back to glance at the still quiet Bodhi Cave, her eyes flickering, "I wonder when elder brother will emerge; it's been half a month already."

However, upon reconsideration, she felt the situation wasn't strange. The Donghuang Bell was an exceptional Spirit Treasure of heaven and earth, and fully refining it should require a long time; half a month wasn't impossible.

"Little Purple, how many times have I told you, no eating!"

Turning her head, Nangong Luo saw Little Purple in the distant peach tree, unable to resist opening its mouth towards the Spiritual Peach, and immediately shouted loudly.

Since her elder brother went into retreat, this little creature always took advantage of her training time to secretly eat the Spiritual Peach.

It's not that Nangong Luo wouldn't let Little Purple eat, but the current effect of the Spiritual Peach wasn't as significant for her and Little Purple anymore.

As their cultivation reached a higher level, the impact of ordinary Spirit Fruit on them lessened significantly.

Thus, she and her elder brother previously decided to leave the Spiritual Peach hanging on the peach tree to continue accumulating potency, and when the time was right, they would pick it. Even if they couldn't use it, they could give it to Tiger Vanguard and the others.

In other words, a Spiritual Peach's benefit to Little Purple was minimal, and it would be a waste to let it eat.

However, this little creature of Little Purple had a greedy mouth and no patience, often clamoring to eat the Spiritual Peach. When her elder brother was around, he couldn't resist its pleas and would occasionally give it a peach.

Now with her elder brother in retreat, without his assistance, the little creature had to obtain Nangong Luo's consent to eat Spiritual Peach, and Nangong Luo naturally refused its requests.

"Chirp!"

Sneaky Little Purple was suddenly startled, seeing Nangong Luo looking over, its open mouth hurriedly closed, dejectedly jumping down from the tree.

"Chirp, chirp, Little Purple won't dare next time!"

Lowering its head and walking to Nangong Luo's feet, Little Purple rubbed its small head against Nangong Luo's leg, saying pitifully.

"Hmph, little creature, next time if I catch you again, I'll spank your little behind!"

Nangong Luo couldn't do much to the little creature and could only scare it verbally.

"Chirp!"

Hearing Nangong Luo wasn't pursuing the matter, Little Purple happily chirped.

"Oh!"

Nangong Luo shook her head helplessly, patting the creature's behind, and pushed it away.

Then, Little Purple wiggled its behind, returned to the Bodhi Holy Tree, and quickly climbed up to retrieve its previously stored fruit.

Afterward, Little Purple hid in the tree crown, holding the Spiritual Peach in its arms and munching on it, eyes smiling.

"Chirp, not eating if I can't eat; Little Purple has more."

Ignoring the little creature, Nangong Luo was about to take out her communicator to check some news.

These past few days, she was busy with training, unaware if there was any major event happening in the external world.

Unexpectedly, as Nangong Luo was about to fetch the communicator, violet light suddenly surged from Tai Chi Cave like waves from the ocean, rushing forth.

"Is this? Elder brother is going to come out?"

Nangong Luo turned to look at Tai Chi Cave, eyes full of surprise.

Within the violet light, a figure emerged.

Jiang Che walked out of Tai Chi Cave slowly, with the Donghuang Bell suspended above his head.

"Elder brother…"

Nangong Luo was just about to speak when suddenly, an earth-shattering bell tone erupted from the Donghuang Bell.

Bong!

A terrifying soundwave swept in all directions, sounding like a thunderous roar and a thousand beasts' simultaneous howl. In this moment, the entire Peach Grove Valley shook violently, and the whole Tiger King Ridge seemed on the verge of overturning.

The Bodhi Holy Tree shook continuously. Soon after, a Spiritual Peach, chewed messily, fell from the tree crown.

"Chirp!"

In an instant, a sharp scream from Little Purple echoed from the tree crown.

The earth continued to quake, large cracks appeared in the Tiger King Ridge, mountains collapsed, giant stones rolled, and many demon soldiers living in the mountains were panic-stricken, trembling in fear before the Donghuang Bell's might.

Seen in the sky above Peach Grove Valley, an ancient bell's shadow appeared, violet radiance illuminating heaven and earth, enveloping the entire Tiger King Ridge. The bell slowly rotated, each pattern seemingly containing the ultimate truth of the universe, exuding a heart-palpitating aura.

Bong!

With the second bell tone resounding, the ancient bell's shadow shook abruptly. An invisible yet vast power madly spread in all directions, where space seemed to shatter like glass, forming countless spatial cracks.

The next moment, time appeared to halt in this sky, and the spatial cracks were sealed in place, ceasing to close, while the violet light flow that flew about suddenly stopped.

Donghuang Bell possessed the ability to suppress time and space.

"The Donghuang Bell indeed is a supreme treasure; this power…"

Below, Jiang Che was also shocked by the commotion caused by the Donghuang Bell.

With this Donghuang Bell in hand, against opponents of the same realm, he would undoubtedly be inherently unbeaten.

Afraid of causing irreversible damage to Tiger King Ridge, Jiang Che moved with intent and retracted the Donghuang Bell suspended above his head back into his body.

The next moment, space above his head instantly resumed flowing, the broken space began to heal, and the previously halted violet light flow started flying again.

The trembling earth slowly calmed, the deafening sounds gradually ceased.
