Chapter 438: Guarding the Bell Lineage
Familiar scenes, and the unchanging vast and unpredictable atmosphere.
The chaotic and unknown land hidden in the depths of the endless dimension was a place he had visited once, the small world where the Jidao Bell was stored.
Bai Donglin stepped out of the scarlet light gate and looked upward. In the huge square above the scarlet stairs, the clock keeper Xiong was sitting cross-legged in meditation, his towering body like an iron tower, like a sculpture.
He had not noticed it before because he was too weak, but now he could sense a vast and mysterious force spreading down from the distant sky and enveloping Xiong's body. As a result, time became disordered, slow and vague.
This situation and scene will remain unchanged throughout the endless years.
"quack--"
"Hahaha, kid, long time no see!"
Bai Donglin relaxed his mind, bowed to Xiong Yaoyao, took a step forward, crossed the strange scarlet stairs, and appeared in the square.
"Greetings, Senior Xiong, Senior Li!"
"Senior Li, thank you for giving me the Supreme Dao Ancestor Order. I will always remember this favor!"
Bai Donglin bowed to Bai Ya. The mission of obtaining the Seven Absolute Grass could be successfully completed thanks to the help of the Dharma body of the ancestor of Tuojie.
"quack!"
"Boy, my junior brother said that he was able to escape from the Wugui Burial Area with the help of your Yuta coordinates. Giving you the Zuling is just a tit-for-tat."
Bai Donglin was speechless. So this was the reason. But he would still remember this favor. He said no more. He sat down cross-legged and asked:
"Senior Li, I wonder why you want me here?"
Xiong remained silent, looking Bai Donglin up and down, feeling inexplicably surprised.
This kid has such a terrifying light of the origin of life!
"Well, I won't keep you in suspense. Donglin, are you interested in joining my lineage of bell keepers?"
"Become the next generation of bell keeper?"
The smile on Bai Donglin's face froze and he blinked, but his heart was not at peace.
The Jidao Bell is the guardian jewel of the Jidao Holy Sect. Its significance and status are extraordinary and it transcends everything.
As its guardian, he holds an unspeakable status within the Holy Sect and can be said to be a hidden force that transcends all institutions.
No matter whether it is He Si, He Feng, or any other member of parliament, no matter how high your status or how strong your strength is, you have to fight hard for that seat.
As a bell keeper, the most basic benefit is that you can enjoy the supreme power of the Extreme Bell, prolong your life, suppress your slumber, and if it is not worth it in this era, you can revive again in other eras.
Not to mention him, a new congressman who has not yet broken through the realm of gods and demons, even those powerful emperors might not be able to withstand such temptation.
"Senior, why did you choose me?"
Bai Donglin suppressed his turbulent thoughts, his eyes were clear, he was not overwhelmed, because the alluring power of the Jidao Bell was useless to him, he was immortal, and had no worries about the end of his life.
"well!"
Xiong's expression darkened, he looked back at the white crow on his shoulder, and slowly began to speak: "Li and I are not actually from this era. We are from the Seventh Hun Tian Era. I won't go into details about the various reasons."
"You just need to know that we were awakened tens of millions of years ago and were appointed to be the bell keepers of this generation. We were so powerful at that time. We were still infants."
"quack--"
"The previous bell keeper met with misfortune. Before his death, no suitable successor was found. From this, you can also know that not everyone can be a bell keeper. One needs to have certain qualities..."
Xiong's tone was dim, as if he was lost in distant memories. Bai Donglin listened carefully, with a gleam of hope in his eyes. As expected, these two seniors, like Lin, had single-word names, which was a feature of the Hun Tian era.
"So, Senior, do you think I have this trait?"
“That’s right!”
He stared at Bai Donglin with fierce eyes, as if he was looking at a priceless treasure.
"There are many people who can start the Extreme Trial, but there are very few who can receive the rewards from the Extreme Bell. This is also the proof of the recognition of the Extreme Bell!"
"I started the Extreme Trial just like you and received an Origin of Rules as a reward. Of course, you are much more powerful than me and received four Origins of Rules!"
"Unheard of! Unseen!"
Bai Donglin smiled awkwardly when he heard that. He had not used his full strength at the beginning and had tried his best to hide his strength. It seemed that he still could not hide it from the terrifying Jidao Bell.
"Originally, Li also had this trait, and I had always trained him as my successor. Unfortunately, this brat Li had high aspirations! He wanted to explore the eleventh realm, and therefore suffered misfortune!"
"quack!"
"What? You're still talking back. Am I wrong? Those things are what the ancestors fought for. Why are you, a God and Demon Realm, trying to join in the fun? "
“Ga ga ga——”
Looking at the quarrel between the man and the bird, Bai Donglin sat upright and responded with an elegant and easy-going smile.
"Ahem, forget it. I can't argue with you. Boy, what do you think about it?"
With Bai Donglin's thinking, of course he figured out all the pros and cons in an instant, and asked about his concerns: "Senior Xiong, I am now in charge of the Baiyujing lineage, does that not affect my joining the Shouzhong lineage? Also, if I inherit your position, do I have to stay here like you?"
It would be a lie to say that he was not tempted by such a powerful ancient artifact as the Jidao Bell. Naturally, he also had the intention to spy on it. He thought long-term, so there was no need to prolong his life. If he could completely master the Jidao Bell...
"No problem! Our lineage is independent of all the holy sect organizations, and it does not affect your multiple duties. As for sitting here, it is not necessary. Haha, are you afraid that the Jidao Bell will be taken away by others?"
"The main responsibility of us bell keepers is to send the sleepers into the Jidao Bell, or to wake up the sleepers inside."
Bai Donglin nodded slightly. If he had to stay here forever, he naturally couldn't accept it. He needed to plunder resources to nourish himself, so he had to travel around.
"In that case, I will agree to your request, Senior!"
Bai Donglin stood up, his expression solemn, and bowed slightly.
"Hahaha! Great!"
"quack--"
The two men and the bird talked for a long time. One day later, Bai Donglin left this small world with a small bell made of gold.
…
After returning to Zizhuju, Bai Donglin played with the small clock for a while, and his thoughts poured out, so he called Bai Xiaoxiao and the other person back.
Two light gates appeared in the void, and then a purple light shot towards Bai Donglin at a high speed.
“Brother!”
Bai Xiaoxiao raised her hands slightly and stood aside with a grim expression.
"Brother - Xiao Zi misses you so much!"
Bai Donglin's brows twitched, he raised his hand and smashed Xiao Zi's head, sending him flying.
"Ouch! It hurts!"
Bai Donglin put away the golden bell, lazily lay on the rocking chair, and slowly said: "I called you back because I have something for you to do. In a few days, the name Baiyujing will be announced to all forces in the Holy Sect. Not only the various peaks and departments, but also those physical cultivation sects affiliated with our Holy Sect will come to congratulate."
"We have to prepare something or two, so as not to be laughed at by others."
Bai Xiaoxiao and Xiao Zi looked at each other and hesitated for a moment. Bai Xiaoxiao said, "Brother, are there only three of us? Doesn't this make Bai Yujing seem a little too deserted?"
"Yes, yes! Even if you use your magical powers to create a clone, it still looks too poor, right?"
Xiao Zi rubbed his red forehead, his eyes shrouded in purple light, and continued to speak: "Brother, how about we spend money to invite some disciples of the Holy Sect to fill the door? After all, you are so rich..."
Bai Donglin glared at Xiao Zi, the clever little guy, speechlessly. What's wrong with having money? Even if you have money, you can't do this, right? This is all hard-earned money!
And pay someone to do it...
How would the other peak masters and directors feel? It was embarrassing for them to think that their current or future disciples were doing odd jobs in Baiyujing to earn money.
"Alright, I have my own plan for this matter. I asked you two to come here because I have a very difficult task for you."
"When the time comes, you will stay at the foot of the mountain and help me collect the gifts. Haha, of course you have to return the gifts, you know how to do it, right?"
"Hey, brother, you are worthy of me. I understand!"
Xiao Zi smiled slyly, with purple light flashing in his eyes. Bai Xiaoxiao beside him nodded in understanding.

"Well, that's good. Use whatever magical skills you have. The louder the better. Don't weaken Bai Yujing's momentum!"
"As for the servants..."
Bai Donglin stretched his hand into the void, and dense palm prints flashed all over Yujing Mountain. All the spiritual beasts with high intelligence and various spiritual plants and flowers were captured by his palms.
He withdrew his hand and waved it lightly, and all kinds of spiritual beasts and fairy flowers floated in the void, all looking at Bai Donglin tremblingly.
They have all witnessed Bai Donglin's transformation of Yujing Mountain and know that he is the master of this place and his methods are extremely terrifying. The only reason they can continue to stay here is because of this man's tacit consent.
"Don't be afraid, little ones. I have a great fortune for you."
Bai Donglin had a gentle expression, and as he spoke, his will influenced reality. The frightened spirit beasts and immortal flowers in the void suddenly calmed down, and they felt warm in their hearts.
His expression became solemn, and as he thought, a vast will poured out. The laws of matter manifested, enveloping all the spiritual creatures in the void.
"Material reconstruction!"
Buzz——
The void trembled, and the hundreds of spiritual creatures were swept away by the vast force and disappeared in an instant, leaving only colorful spots of light in their place.
It is an aggregate of particles, including their bodies, souls, and a bit of true spirit.
"Well, since it's already been done, let's just put it away once and for all. Bai Yujing's servants and attendants can't be too untalented."
With a thought, a stream of strong strengthening energy was drawn out of the body, covering and strengthening the particles one by one. With a flip of his hand, he took out many precious materials, which were decomposed into particles by Bai Donglin and merged with the particles of those spiritual objects.
"I'm selecting some techniques for you."
As he opened and closed his mouth, characters containing endless information floated out and sank into the particle light group. These characters also contained his insights, which he could cultivate step by step.
"Almost there, together!"
Bai Donglin's eyes flashed, his vast will and terrifying speed of thinking were exerting force on him. At the same time, he manipulated endless particles. Under the influence of the laws of matter, light cocoons appeared in the void.
Snap!
The light cocoons shattered one after another, and human figures fell to the ground along with countless light fragments. For a moment, the inside and outside of Zizhuju were filled with figures lying there, and they all slowly and awkwardly climbed up.
"I, I transformed!?"
"How is this possible? How could I transform without the transformation thunder tribulation?!"
Man is the form of the Great Way.
No matter what kind of monster you are, if you want to go one step further and embark on the path of greatness, the first thing you need to do is transform.
Humans are born with the form of the Great Dao, but apart from their wisdom, their physique is weak. Aliens have strong physiques and long lifespans, but they have to go through the test of heaven and earth thunder tribulations to transform, and their mortality rate is extremely high.
There are pros and cons to each.
The monsters transformed successfully, their intelligence soared, and the inherited skills flowing through their minds made them extremely happy. They knew everything in an instant, and looked at the lazy figure on the recliner, and immediately prostrated themselves on the ground and kowtowed.
"Thank you for helping me transform!"
"Thank you for your teachings and teachings!"
Bai Donglin looked indifferent and glanced at the monsters. He had no good feelings towards the monster race. These spiritual creatures grew up on the Yujing Mountain and were every bit the grass and tree of the Jidao Holy Sect.
When a monster is born and transformed within the Holy Sect, Jidao Holy Sect will allow it to choose to stay or go. They can either leave the Holy Sect or become a slave in the Holy Sect. However, it is impossible for them to join the Holy Sect.
Of course, very few can escape the tragedy of being used as medicine and successfully transform, unless they are favored by a disciple and taken as a battle pet.
"Listen, everyone. From now on, you are considered part of Yujing Mountain. Help me with my work. I will not treat you unfairly."
"Xiao Xiao, take them down to do the work."
Bai Xiaoxiao nodded slightly, and the group of monsters followed obediently behind her, walking towards the white jade hall.
Good monsters or bad monsters, naturally they cannot hide from Bai Donglin's will and perception. These little monsters live under his nose and can't cause any trouble.
After a few days, the name Baiyujing had spread to various forces.
The Gate of Hell, deep in the inner courtyard.
Niannian and Lianxin stared at each other, one was mature and charming, the other was pure and ethereal. They were so beautiful, but they looked stunned, which was quite cute.
"Master, Master, is this Bai Donglin from Baiyujing really your junior brother?"
Lianxin twisted the hem of her skirt with both hands, her little face showing a very complicated expression, as if expecting, but also a little uneasy.
Niannian opened her little scarlet mouth and sighed in her heart. How could she not see what her good disciple was thinking?
I couldn't help but feel regretful. I shouldn't have provoked that little bastard in the first place. Who would have thought of having pity on her...
"Disciple, didn't your master tell you? Bai Donglin is a disciple of Jidao Shengzong. He is not my disciple, let alone your junior brother!"
Lian Xin's eyes darkened, and then she shook her head fiercely.
"No! Master, you don't understand. He is my disciple's junior fellow apprentice!"
"you……"
Nian Nianmei's eyes widened. She didn't expect that the weak Lian Xin would dare to refute her for that little bastard.
"Oh, forget it, whatever you want!"
Nian Nian didn't want to continue to argue, so she changed the subject and continued, "By the way, disciple, has that old guy not given up yet?"
"Well, he has been inviting me to join the Tianji Pavilion, saying that he has a great opportunity for me!"
Upon hearing this, Nian Nian frowned tightly, with a trace of worry between her brows. He Du, the sixth deputy director of the Divine Court Inspection Department and the elder of the Tianji Pavilion.
What on earth are you planning? (End of this chapter)
