"The nine Ancestor Trees nurtured the Nine Great Gods... er... there is another saying, that the Heavenly Gods were born from Chaos, and the means by which the Ancestor Trees lifted the sun, moon, stars, and endless sky were energies bestowed by the Gods to the Ancestor Trees..."

The painter gently caressed the inscriptions on the surface of the golden bell and said, "The moment the Ancestor Tree separated heaven and earth, the essence of the human world was concentrated to the ultimate, and on the trunk, a scripture appeared,

These nine scriptures, recorded in the ancient texts of Jing Country, are called the 'Ancient Tree Scripture.' In the years that followed, each of the Nine Great Gods crafted a Copper Tripod and inscribed the scripture from the Ancestor Tree upon the tripods, thus creating the 'Ancient Tree Golden Bells.'

The painter continued, "The nine golden bells divided Jing Country into nine states. The golden bells were once extraordinarily powerful, but after the fall of the Gods, the golden bells were left ownerless, sealed by the passage of time, eventually becoming mere monitoring magic artifacts, unable to recreate their former glory."

"However, although this is the case, the golden bell still has its spirit. Its luster indicates its condition; if the luster is dull, it indicates damage. If the luster is brilliant, it indicates its spiritual nature is reviving. The Ancient Tree Golden Bell hasn't been this bright in many years."

Hearing the painter's words, Zhou Xuan couldn't help but gently place his hand on the surface of the golden bell. A faint, subtle vibration clearly transmitted into Zhou Xuan's hand.

"It... seems to be laughing."

"The Ancient Tree Golden Bell of Mingjiang Prefecture nearly perished, but now, having narrowly escaped a great catastrophe, it is naturally cheerful."

"It's more than cheerful, it seems to be asking for my storyteller's Wish Power."

Zhou Xuan inexplicably had this feeling.

"Why does it need to ask?" The painter was also puzzled.

Zhou Xuanqing created the Heavenly Book, absorbing human Wish Power, all to achieve the wish of 'restoring the golden bell,' wasn't it?

If that's the case, that Wish Power, the golden bell could take as it pleases, why the need to ask?

"Right..."

Zhou Xuan seemed to have figured it out and quickly pulled out the 'Will Heavenly Book.'

The Heavenly Book, nourished by countless human Wish Power, no longer appeared so unremarkable. Each page had the texture of white jade, warm like aged jade to the touch.

Zhou Xuan opened the Heavenly Book to the first page.

The line of 'wish' on the page had a black stroke crossing it out horizontally.

The wish was crossed out—this, in Zhou Xuan's view, meant one of two possibilities: his wish was forcibly terminated by the Heavenly Book, hence the need to cross it out.

The other possibility was that the Ancient Tree Golden Bell had been fully restored, at least in the view of the Will Heavenly Book—it was fixed.

Zhou Xuan leaned towards the latter.

Restoring the Ancient Tree Golden Bell gives no reason for the Will Heavenly Book to forcibly terminate it.

"Old Hua, you just said the golden bell's luster hasn't been this bright in these years?"

"Yes."

"Then it's settled, the Ancient Tree Golden Bell is fixed."

Zhou Xuan said.

"It's already fixed?"

"Brighter than before, and since luster indicates the intensity of the golden bell's spirit, doesn't that mean it's repaired? Besides, the Heavenly Book even helped you restore more, consider it a half-buy half-free deal."

Zhou Xuan lightly patted the Ancient Tree Golden Bell.

"Buzz."

A deep, resonant hum slowly spread out within the God Traveling Department.

"The Will Heavenly Book, as expected, is a supreme method."

The painter somewhat understood why 'Bi Fang' would not hesitate to employ the Heavenly Book, blocking the cultivation path of his own Hall Disciples.

The storyteller, for three hundred years, hasn't surpassed Eight Incense Sticks, all thanks to 'Bi Fang.'

"Such a powerful Will Heavenly Book, any storyteller who ascends to Nine Incense Sticks can harness this terrifying potential, that's what 'Bi Fang' fears most about his junior disciples."

The painter said, while Zhou Xuan didn't bother thinking too much about it; he focused on the continuous influx of human Wish Power.

At this moment, he realized that the 'Will Heavenly Book,' after completing the wish and successfully restoring the golden bell, became a vast reservoir of Wish Power, storing the rapidly generating Wish Power of Mingjiang Prefecture within itself.

The book's white jade-like texture was due to its excessive accumulation of Wish Power.

"Golden bell, you are fully restored, so the Heavenly Book no longer supplies you with human Wish Power. However, not providing Wish Power doesn't mean you can't continue to absorb it, right."

Zhou Xuan asked the Ancient Tree Golden Bell.

The golden bell trembled again, this time with a noticeably more exaggerated amplitude, as if agreeing to Zhou Xuan's question.

"The golden bell still needs Wish Power. This Wish Power comes from my storytelling, not precious, just that I don't know its exact use."

Zhou Xuan's thoughts flashed like lightning, and he decided to continue sharing Wish Power with the golden bell, using it as a test subject to verify the function of 'Wish Power.'

Upon thinking this, Zhou Xuan then placed his hand on the Heavenly Book, his mind forming a solid link with those 'Wish Power.'

These Wish Power originally belonged to Zhou Xuan, and now forming this link, the once intangible and indistinct Wish Power turned into tangible, visible substances.

Zhou Xuan could freely distribute these 'Wish Power,' one hand grasping it while the other pointed to the golden bell.

After high concentration, the Wish Power, like creamy white jade, surged into the golden bell.

The golden bell's golden light again increased in brightness, dazzling like the stars in the sky. The light was so intense that Zhou Xuan and the painter, being so close, both raised their arms to shield their eyes from being scorched.

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"
