Other than this effect, this bell had shown no other use.

Gradually, it was ignored by almost all the humans and was only treated as a somewhat mysterious ancient symbolic item.

Until today, when the Heavenly Dao of the human race woke up and it rushed into the Immortal Inquisition Bell…

The bell suddenly shook.

It was as though it had been sleeping for a long time, and now it finally woke up!

The totemic carvings of mountains and rivers, and all living beings on it came alive. They circulated on the surface of the bell and shone with a resplendent light. At the same time, a dense prehistoric aura rose from the Immortal Inquisition Bell.

The sky churned, vitality exploded, and heaven and earth reversed.

This aura was accompanied by an astonishing sovereign aura. It was formed by a vast will that surpassed the world. It was condensed from the endless domineering intent that suppressed the ages. It was bestowed by the Dao of the Wanggu itself.

That was… the aura of an ancient sovereign!

However, it wasn’t of the Mystic Nether that the world thought it was!

This aura was even more ancient.

Mystic Nether wasn’t the first ancient sovereign of Wanggu.

Before him, there were many ancient sovereigns in Wanggu, regardless of whether it was the Ancient Spirit Emperor or the sovereigns of other races who unified Wanggu.

At the source, in myths and legends, after the Summer Immortal left back then, he had chosen a cultivator to be the first ancient sovereign of the Wanggu!

This ancient sovereign was a human.

This bell originated from him!

Hence, when this aura appeared, the world trembled and Wanggu shook.

Jade Flowing Dust’s expression also changed and His raised footstep stopped.

At the next instant, the Immortal Inquisition Bell swayed in the air. An ancient chime rang out, echoing through the ancient times and landing in the present world.

The sound, while ancient, carried a hint of sorrow, as if calling out, asking the immortals who had left…

When will you return?

As the bell tolled, the world felt desolate; here 1 stand in the mortal realm, asking the immortals when they shall return.

Jade Flowing Dust’s expression changed drastically and His entire body trembled. Thousands of tears appeared on His blood-red robe that covered the ground.

He retracted His footstep and retreated by 100 feet.

“What is this!!”

Even the omniscience of the Divine Platform couldn’t cover the Immortal Inquisition Bell.

It was as though it was hidden in the passage of time, hidden outside cognition, only appearing at the moment the sun and moon intersected.

Not only did Jade Flowing Dust lose His voice, but the hearts of the Blazing God, the God of Night, and the Sun, Moon, and Star Gods also stirred.

The human race indeed didn’t have any foundation left.

This was because it had an even greater foundation than the Sword Holding Great Emperor. It had already hidden itself before the Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether.

Today, it woke up under the convergence of various factors.

The Empress was calm.

The Great Emperor also didn’t respond.

As for Jade Flowing Dust, almost at the instant His heart stirred, the Immortal Inquisition Bell floating in the air above the palace shook again and rang a second time.

A loud sound echoed through the world.

As time passes and all things journey on, here I stand in my homeland, asking the immortals how desolate it has become!

Jade Flowing Dust trembled intensely and the change in His expression became even more intense. The wound on His chest tore open at this instant and His old injury was actually stimulated by the chime.

He couldn’t help but take another step back. This step was a thousand feet.

The Immortal Inquisition Bell shone with boundless light, and amidst its grandeur, the sorrowful chime rang out for the third time.

It seemed to ask the immortals one last time…

The path to immortality is long, life is infinite. Here 1 stand at the pinnacle of the world, asking the immortals… where is the Dao?

Jade Flowing Dust’s soul shook and His body directly dissipated under the bell’s tolling. Although He recovered in an instant, He kept on stepping back.

His body only stabilized after He retreated 10,000 feet away. He then raised His head and stared fixedly at the bell.

The intent contained in the bell was extremely terrifying. It was the intent to find the Dao, the aspiration to find the immortals.

It was as though someone had once rang the bell to ask the immortals with his peerless cultivation and status as the peak of Wanggu!

Just three chimes were enough to make Jade Flowing Dust like this, so He knew that if there was a fourth chime, some of the injuries He had painstakingly recovered from over the countless years would completely revive.

However, He didn’t believe that there was no price for ringing such a terrifying thing.

This price must be incomparably huge.

Therefore, it was still unknown if the bell could be rung again.

However, He didn’t dare to gamble.

If He won the bet, with His current state, He wasn’t confident in facing the Sword Holding Great Emperor.

If He lost the bet, He would have even less confidence.

Hence, He fell silent.

The bell shook again in mid-air, as though it was really going to ring for the fourth time.

Seeing this, Jade Flowing Dust suddenly spoke.

“Today, 1 am only here to observe the ceremony!”

As soon as His voice rang out, the Immortal Inquisition Bell paused.

At the next instant, a cold voice rang out from the Sword Holding Palace.

“Scram!”

As soon as the word sounded out, the world seemed to collapse.

It wasn’t only targeted at Jade Flowing Dust but it echoed in the sky and rumbled in all directions, exploding the world like heavenly lightning, forming a surging wave that swept through the sky.

All of a sudden, the various divine senses that had used various methods to observe the Human Emperor’s ascension instantly disappeared.

They chose to leave.

Whether the human Sword Holding Great Emperor really had the strength of a single strike or not, they didn’t dare to gamble.

Moreover, that astonishing bell caused everyone’s hearts to palpitate.

Jade Flowing Dust looked at the Sword Holding Palace. A few breaths later, His body turned blurry and He left.

He also chose to leave.

The divine fire on the Ancient Sovereign Planet grew increasingly exuberant.

At the same time, in the Holy Wave Large Region, which was extremely far away from the Grand Imperial Capital Region, in the northern part of Fenghai County..
