Chapter 643: Chapter 404: Heavenly Saint, Donghuang Taiyi

The Donghuang Bell, as Donghuang Taiyi’s companion treasure, is connected to his divine soul and is the entity most likely to influence it.

Under the resonance of these bell sounds, Donghuang Taiyi’s divine soul began to waver.

In this situation, Donghuang Taiyi’s brows furrowed tightly, his expression filled with loathing for these ceaseless chimes.

These chimes severely disrupted his immersion in the great joy of comprehending the mysteries of heaven and earth.

This inability to immerse himself made him despise the sounds.

He averted his gaze from the central golden eyes of the Heavenly Realm Law Golden Wheel and looked down at the continuously rotating Donghuang Bell in his hand.

The chimes evoked in Donghuang Taiyi a desire to cast the Donghuang Bell away.

However, he instinctively sensed something was amiss and found himself hesitating.

The spinning Donghuang Bell reflected in Donghuang Taiyi’s golden eyes, its unending chimes striking his divine soul, shaking his inner being.

Scenes of his birth alongside the Donghuang Bell, amidst endless Taiyang Fire and the chimes, flooded his mind.

He recalled when Pangu’s Illusion, wielding the Sky-opening Divine Axe, was summoned for the first time. Together with the Donghuang Bell, he resisted, which originally transformed the innate Chaos Bell into the Donghuang Bell.

He had accompanied the Donghuang Bell for countless years, in practice, life, and battle, the image of the Donghuang Bell always present.

How could he easily give this up?

On Penglai Immortal Island, Di Jun saw Donghuang Taiyi’s hesitation, as his emotions for the Donghuang Bell clashed with his desire to immerse himself in comprehending the great mysteries of heaven and earth.

This sight gave Di Jun hope, and without hesitation, he took action.

Instantly, a vast spiritual power surged into the Donghuang Bell.

Because Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi’s powers shared a common source, and the Donghuang Bell was not unfamiliar with Di Jun’s power.

After all, Di Jun had also used the Donghuang Bell before.

Thus, the Donghuang Bell did not reject this immense spiritual power.

Dong- , Dong- , Dong- …..

The chimes of the Donghuang Bell became more urgent, its power more formidable, and most importantly, a vast spiritual power followed the bell sounds, entering Donghuang Taiyi’s divine soul.

Under this tremendous spiritual power, Donghuang Taiyi instantly awakened from his state of great joy.

With consciousness restored, he did not forget his previous state, and immediately realized what he was just now doing.

Taoization!

Had he continued to indulge in that state of exploring the mysteries of heaven and earth, he feared he would truly integrate with the Heavenly Realm.

At that point, his body and divine soul would become part of the Heavenly Realm, his consciousness forever submerged within.

The chimes of the Donghuang Bell continued, uninterrupted.

Donghuang Taiyi looked down at the Donghuang Bell in his hand, a sense of gratitude emerging in his heart: This time, I owe it to you.

Simultaneously, he also sensed that familiar power, the power of his elder brother.

He silently etched this event into his heart.

On Penglai Immortal Island, seeing this scene, Di Jun’s originally serious expression showed signs of relaxation.

Though he fully controlled the Heavenly Realm, Donghuang Taiyi’s immersion in the ultimate truths of heaven and earth was voluntary.

He naturally had the power to awaken Donghuang Taiyi, but he would also lose the chance to become a Saint.

Merging with the Heavenly Realm was not wrong, and anyone could become a Saint.

However, whether one maintained clear consciousness was the true key.

Without clear consciousness, a being could already become a Saint, but with a consciousness submerged in the ultimate truths of heaven and earth, unable to break free.

Maintaining clear consciousness is akin to an ordinary Saint, with self-control.

This time, due to the Donghuang Bell, Donghuang Taiyi experienced internal conflict, granting Di Jun the opportunity to act.

And it was not direct action but through the Donghuang Bell, he minimized his influence over Donghuang Taiyi.

This time, the test Donghuang Taiyi faced from the Heavenly Realm was so severe, partly due to Emperor Jun of the Demon Clan.

Because Di Jun sat on the Law Throne, suppressing and guiding the emanating laws from the Heavenly Dao into the Heavenly Realm, which in turn strengthened the Heavenly Realm’s power.

Even though it had not yet reached the point of birthing a second Heavenly Realm Saint position, the Heavenly Realm’s power truly had grown stronger.

For this reason, the trial before Donghuang Taiyi was exceedingly difficult.

However, if he passed the trial and truly became a Saint of the Heavenly Realm, his rewards would be abundant.

This was the result of his intrinsic power and also the feedback from the Heavenly Realm.

Heavenly Realm Space.

Donghuang Taiyi once again lifted his gaze to the Heavenly Dao Law Golden Wheel suspended in the void.

At this moment, he was but a step away from those golden eyes, though this step was exceedingly arduous.

Awakened, Donghuang Taiyi felt his primordial spirit already densely covered by countless laws, causes, and destinies, extremely burdened.

This was the result of the mystery he was just immersed in, merging with numerous laws, causes, and destinies.

Not only that, his physical body had also merged with too many laws, causes, and destinies, feeling immense constraint.
