Because of the unbelievable nightmare last night, Li Mu had been worried about his psychological problems this morning.
He had completely forgotten that The Ancestral Court of Fu Lu School, on the main peak of White Cloud Mountain, had a grudge with him.
Li Mu's grudge with the Dao Bell was purely accidental. He did not know that the bell could sense the first Dao technique that descended into this world. Then, because of the Tao Te Ching, it overreacted and a deep crack appeared on the bell.
But no matter what, the Dao Bell had cracked because of him. Now, it was hiding from him whenever it saw him.
Li Mu had obviously scared it. The last sound of the bell did not sound right.
The red-crowned cranes flying in the sky were stunned by the sound of the bell. They fell from the sky to the square, their bodies twitching non-stop. Most of the disciples in the square also fainted from the shock.
Li Mu knew that he had caused trouble. He was about to escape when the Dao Bell ran faster than him. With a whoosh, it flew into the clouds and floated there, not daring to come down.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
On the main peak, several figures rushed into the sky from the various Dao Palaces.
Seeing the mess on the square, everyone was shocked.
"What happened to the red-crowned cranes?"
"Why did so many disciples faint?"
"Why did the Dao Bell run away again? What was that sound just now? It gave me a fright. My hand even trembled. It's a pity that my Fu-lu painting was almost finished …"
…
The elders of the main peak floated above the square and looked at each other in confusion. Then, someone looked at the edge of the square and saw a figure preparing to escape.
"It's him!"
"Why is he here?"
"I see …"
"So he's Junior Sister Liu's Dao partner. I was wondering why the bell was so scared …"
…
Li Mu originally wanted to run away, but he had been recognized so quickly. He could only turn around and bite the bullet. "Well, I really didn't do it on purpose …"
A few elders descended from the sky. Some began to treat the twitching red-crowned cranes, while others began to wake up the unconscious disciples. An old man with a Creation Realm cultivation walked over and smiled at Li Mu. "It's okay. It's not the first time the Dao Bell has changed. I know you didn't mean it."
Buzz …
In the clouds above the square, the Law Bell rang again, clearly venting its displeasure.
Not long after, the red-crowned crane flew back into the clouds. However, it did not dare to stay on White Cloud Peak. It flew towards a distant mountain.
The disciples who were knocked unconscious by the sound of the bell gradually regained consciousness. Each of them had a blank expression on their faces.
"What happened?"
"Why did I suddenly faint just now?"
"The dao bell suddenly went crazy. Look, isn't that the person who made the dao bell go crazy last time? He's here again …"
…
Feeling the gazes of everyone in the square begin to gather on him, Li Mu knew in his heart that he shouldn't stay here for long. He cupped his hands towards the old man and said, "I'm sorry to have caused you trouble. I still have some matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first …"
After saying that, he quickly walked out of the square and flew towards White Cloud Peak.
Above the white clouds, the bell swayed for a moment, then slowly descended. It seemed to have sensed something, and began to circle around the spot where Li Mu had been standing.
The elders were perplexed by its strange behavior.
For thousands of years, the dao bell had been very normal. Nothing had ever happened to it. Why was it that every time that person came to the main peak, it seemed to have changed into a different bell …
White Cloud Peak.
Li Mu returned to the small building on the peak and sat cross-legged on the bed. He swore that he would never set foot on the main peak again.
Although it was the dao bell that was afraid of him, not the other way around, this dao bell had existed since the establishment of The Ancestral Court of Fu Lu School. It had been more than a thousand years since then, and it had even developed its own intelligence. This kind of magic treasure had already surpassed the Heavenly Rank. It could not even be called a magic treasure anymore, but a type of monster.
Although it could not transform, if it wanted to go against Li Mu, Li Mu might not be its match.
However, the dao bell's intelligence did not seem to be very high. It had not realized this yet.
Li Mu could not give it a chance to react.
After returning to White Cloud Peak and heaving a sigh of relief, Li Mu began to recall the feeling of killing the Illusion God's avatar that day.
That was the first time he had released the Demon Slaying Protective Curse. Based on Li Mu's understanding of this curse, the first two moves of this curse could be used by Realm Four cultivators. However, the last two moves were Realm Five Abhijna.
Among them, the third move was a defensive move. The Taiji diagram that was formed could even dissolve a Realm Six attack.
The last move seemed to specialize in attacking the Primordial Spirit. The speed of the "Sword of Wisdom" was unbelievably fast. The Illusion God's avatar did not even have time to react before his Primordial Spirit was destroyed.
Li Mu still did not understand the use of the Tao Te Ching. The Nine Syllables of Truth were mostly supportive. The Demon Slaying Protective Curse was the strongest Dao technique that Li Mu could use at the moment.
With the support of the last two moves and with Su He by his side, he was not afraid of ordinary Realm Six cultivators.
It seemed like he had only crossed half a realm. However, this half a realm was something that 99% of Realm Five cultivators could not cross.
Li Mu sat cross-legged on the bed and continued to comprehend. Suddenly, he sensed something and opened his eyes to look ahead.
Outside the window, a shadow flashed past.
Li Mu flew off the bed and came to the courtyard. However, he did not see anything.
He pretended to return to his room. However, he suddenly turned around and looked up at the sky.
A corner of the Dao Bell appeared in the clouds above his head. However, it quickly shrank back.
Li Mu was shocked. Did the Dao Bell finally understand that he was no match for him? Was it here to seek revenge?
However, it did not seem like it. Li Mu only glanced at it and it hid in the clouds. If it was here to seek revenge, it would not be so cowardly.
Li Mu turned and walked back to his room. However, he secretly stuck a paper figurine on the door.
After he entered the room, he silently observed from the paper figurine's perspective.
In the clouds, the Dao Bell's shadow appeared again. It first carefully lowered its height. When it saw that Li Mu did not come out, it quickly flew to where Li Mu was standing and slowly rotated …
Li Mu looked at it strangely. He did not know what the Dao Bell was up to.
He carefully observed the Dao Bell through the paper figurine.
The Dao Bell was about ten feet tall. Its body was so thick that it would take several people to wrap their arms around it. Li Mu had not looked at it carefully before. Now that he looked at it closely, he realized that there were complicated runes on the Dao Bell. These runes were simple and ancient, but they were also quite beautiful …
However, there was a deep crack on the Dao Bell. While it destroyed a few of the runes, it also destroyed some of the Dao Bell's beauty.
The culprit behind this crack was Li Mu.
Li Mu was actually quite aggrieved about this matter. He had only recited a few incantations. Reciting incantations was not against the law …
The Dao Bell seemed to have a function. It was to magnify the changes in the power of Heaven and Earth caused by new magical powers and Dao techniques.
When Li Mu cast a spell in Yangqiu County, the changes in the power of Heaven and Earth were not felt by the powerhouses of Mount Baiyun. However, the Dao Bell could magnify the fluctuations. Li Mu could imagine what it would be like when it tried to magnify the power of Heaven and Earth caused by the Dao De Jing.
Even someone as reckless as Li Mu would not dare to recite it casually unless it was a matter of life and death. He wished that its power would be weakened by ten times or even a hundred times …
This Dao Bell actually wanted to magnify it. It was simply seeking death more than Li Mu himself …
However, even though Dao Zhong was courting death, Li Mu still couldn't shirk his responsibility in this matter.
He carefully observed the Dao Bell's rotation on the spot. He was gradually surprised to find that as it rotated, the edge of the crack on the Dao Bell emitted an extremely weak golden light …
Li Mu was stunned. Could this Dao Bell be repairing itself?
But why did it come here to repair itself? Could it be that there was something around Li Mu that could help it repair itself?
Li Mu carefully probed and did not feel anything unusual around him.
However, the Dao Bell's spiritual sense was many times stronger than that of a human. Perhaps it could sense something that Li Mu could not.
Li Mu walked out of the room again. The Dao Bell immediately flew up and hid in the clouds again.
Li Mu stood in the courtyard and looked at the clouds in the sky. He said, "You don't have to hide anymore. I can see you."
The Dao Bell flew out from the clouds and buzzed non-stop. It was unknown what it was saying.
Although Li Mu could not understand its words, it was obvious that the Dao Bell could understand Li Mu's meaning.
Li Mu looked up at it and said, "I didn't do it on purpose last time. Come down."
The Dao Bell buzzed for a while. Not only did it not come down, but it flew even higher.
Li Mu thought for a while and said, "I swear on the Heavenly Dao that I won't do anything to you. I'll just stand here and not move …"
After the dao bell stopped in the air for a while, it seemed like it wanted to escape, but it also seemed like it couldn't bear to let go of something. After a while, it tried to descend a little, then a little more. When it saw that Li Mu didn't move, it gradually became bolder and flew to Li Mu's side. It circled around him continuously.
Li Mu noticed that there were more golden light spots on the cracks on the Dao Bell. The cracks seemed to be slowly mending at a speed that was not visible to the naked eye.
This meant that he had something that the Dao Bell needed.
However, Li Mu carefully probed and did not find anything missing.
It was not spiritual power, psyche power, or any other power within his body. After the Dao Bell spun for a while, the golden light spots on the cracks dissipated, and the cracks seemed to be mending a little …
Li Mu could not figure it out. He simply said, "I was the one who caused the cracks on your body. I have the responsibility to help you repair them. What do you need? I can help you …"
Li Mu had clearly gained some trust from the Dao Bell. The Dao Bell buzzed again. Although there were no specific syllables or words, Li Mu miraculously understood its meaning.
Li Mu asked in surprise, "You need a new mystique dao technique?"
The Dao Bell danced up and down, clearly indicating that it was nodding.
Li Mu reached out and touched the cracks on the Dao Bell. This time, the Dao Bell not only did not dodge, but it even rubbed against his hand.
However, it was huge and Li Mu was almost knocked over by it. He patted the Dao Bell and said casually, "You're so big. It's not convenient for you to be beside me. Can you shrink a little …"
The Dao Bell buzzed and shrank rapidly. Finally, it became a small bell the size of a palm. It jumped up and down and circled around Li Mu.
Li Mu looked at the scene in front of him in shock and exclaimed, "It really can …"
