"This fellow actually managed to ring it once," a man of equal peak Dao Attainment Realm status said enviously upon hearing the sound.
With the same level of strength, the man hadn't even managed one ring and could only become an outer disciple. Seeing Li Xuan ring it once now, it was natural for him to feel a bit displeased.
Dong!
But in the next instant, the second bell chime resounded once more.
Hearing this, the man looked at Li Xuan with shock, but this time he wisely kept his mouth shut. Even if Li Xuan only had two rings, his status would be higher than his own.
Dong!
Dong dong!
In the blink of an eye, the Primordial Chaos Eastern Emperor Bell had already chimed four times. Everyone was shocked by the sound; this was the fourth ring.
Even the guiding elder beside them looked at Li Xuan with anticipation. During the second trial, the guiding elder clearly remembered Li Xuan being in the first echelon of those who passed.
Dong!
Another breath later, the Primordial Chaos Eastern Emperor Bell shuddered and produced a fifth chime.
Hiss!
Instantly, everyone froze in place. Following Lan Chu Yun, another person who achieved five rings had appeared.
Upon hearing this, the guiding elder showed a wry smile. Those with five rings could become disciples of an elder, but the guiding elder had already accepted Lan Chu Yun. Li Xuan's discipleship would likely have to be yielded to other elders.
Indeed.
After the fifth chime, several figures appeared in the square. The guiding elder took a glance; these were all elders.
Dong!
Just as the guiding elder was about to stand up and announce, the Primordial Chaos Eastern Emperor Bell rang again.
At this moment, everyone present had a drastic change in expression.
Six rings meant one could become a Holy Son!
The status of a Holy Son was such that even elders could not take them as disciples.
In the next moment, Li Xuan's body slowly floated up. At this time, the Primordial Chaos Eastern Emperor Bell emitted a golden light that enveloped Li Xuan.
"The Primordial Chaos Eastern Emperor Bell has bestowed its spirit; this little fellow is undoubtedly a Holy Son," the guiding elder nodded immediately upon seeing this.
Soon, several more figures appeared on the square. The elders who had arrived earlier bowed respectfully to the newcomers.
Although there were only four newcomers, all of them were Grand Elders!
"If we count carefully, it's been hundreds of years since we last accepted a disciple," one of the Grand Elders said with a smile.
"The last time I took a disciple was four hundred years ago," another Grand Elder nodded.
"Let's see what this little fellow chooses himself."
The four nodded in agreement and then looked at Li Xuan.
As five minutes passed, the golden light around Li Xuan's body gradually thinned.
Seeing this, everyone looked at Li Xuan with curiosity, expecting the discipleship ceremony to begin.
The thought of Li Xuan being able to directly become a disciple of a Grand Elder brought envious looks to everyone's faces. It was no exaggeration to describe Li Xuan's ascent as soaring into the heavens.
Boom!
A rumbling sound emanated from within Li Xuan's body, and the next moment, his sword intent surged. In an instant, Li Xuan stepped directly into the Guiyi Realm!
Dong!
And at this very moment, the Primordial Chaos Eastern Emperor Bell shuddered again, and a chime resounded.
"This... seven rings?!"
The four Grand Elders were shocked by this, and everyone else was petrified. Seven rings, what kind of heaven-defying talent and aptitude could achieve this?
"I never thought that in my lifetime, I would witness the emergence of an unparalleled prodigy! My life is now complete," the guiding elder said excitedly, then his gaze shifted towards the void.
In the next moment, a figure slowly appeared. All the elders and Grand Elders lowered their gaze.
The newcomer was the Holy Lord.
Not only that, but several obscure divine senses shot out from the depths. The four Grand Elders chuckled wryly, realizing that even the Ancestors from the core of the Primordial Chaos had been alerted.
At this moment, Li Xuan was completely unaware of the increasing number of figures around him. As numerous images flashed through his mind, the Zhenyu Ring on his left hand, which was pressed against the Primordial Chaos Eastern Emperor Bell, subtly gleamed with a light.
Dong!
A chime resounded without warning, leaving everyone stunned.
"This... this is the eighth ring!" Even the Holy Lord swallowed hard, his eyes filled with fervent light.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
In the next instant, figures flew out from the core of the Primordial Chaos. Seeing the emerging figures, the Holy Lord could only offer a wry smile. With the appearance of the Ancestors and even the Grand Ancestors from the core of the Primordial Chaos, there would be nothing left for him to do.
"Eight rings; this little fellow is suited to be my disciple," one of the Grand Ancestors said, stroking his long beard.
"Martial Emperor, you speak incorrectly. Being able to evoke eight rings, this little fellow's talent and potential are enough to look down on all others. Becoming my disciple, Literary Emperor, would be more fitting," another Grand Ancestor immediately retorted.
The Holy Lord, the elders, and even the Grand Elders could only offer wry smiles. The Martial and Literary Emperors were the most powerful among the Grand Ancestors. Furthermore, they were close friends, and now they were actually vying for a disciple.
"This bell chime sounds rather pleasant," Xiao Bai in the Zhenyu said, looking at the Azure Dragon beside him, then pointing towards the void. In the next moment, a wisp of Primordial Purple Qi instantly vanished into the void.
Even the Martial Emperor and the Literary Emperor did not notice that a wisp of purple qi had passed through Li Xuan's palm and entered the Primordial Chaos Eastern Emperor Bell.
Dong!
The Primordial Chaos Eastern Emperor Bell glowed with increased golden light, and streaks of purple light pulsed within it. The ninth chime instantly echoed through the heavens.
In the next moment, the Primordial Chaos Eastern Emperor Bell enveloped Li Xuan. As it spun at high speed, a cultivation technique was imprinted into Li Xuan's mind.
The Martial Emperor and the Literary Emperor were both startled by this, and everyone present was frozen in place.
Nine rings, the Divine Son is established!
"The heavens bless our Primordial Chaos Sacred Land! Our Primordial Chaos Sacred Land finally has a Divine Son!" the Holy Lord was now in tears, tears of uncontainable emotion.
Crack!
At this moment, in the depths of the Primordial Chaos, two coffins instantly shattered. Divine senses, powerful enough to tear space apart, shot out and then materialized into two figures above the Primordial Chaos Eastern Emperor Bell.
"Primordial Ancestors!"
The Martial Emperor, the Literary Emperor, and the others lowered their gazes and bowed. They were not surprised by the appearance of these two.
A Divine Son was an existence of equal standing to them. It could be said that apart from the founder of the Primordial Chaos Sacred Land, the Divine Son held the highest status.
"Since the battle against the alien race in the past, our Primordial Chaos Sacred Land has suffered greatly. After so many years, I never thought our Primordial Chaos Sacred Land would produce a Divine Son. Our Primordial Chaos Sacred Land is finally about to rise!" one of the Primordial Ancestors spoke slowly.
"It remains to be seen what this little fellow will choose," another Primordial Ancestor nodded and then looked at Li Xuan with anticipation.
As time passed, the Primordial Chaos Eastern Emperor Bell slowly stopped spinning. Li Xuan's figure once again appeared in everyone's sight.
Under the gaze of everyone, golden light pulsed around Li Xuan's body. After a full quarter of an hour, the golden light finally merged into Li Xuan's body.
In the next moment, Li Xuan's eyes suddenly snapped open.
