"Who knew there was such a thing!"

At the end of the Secluded Valley, within a pavilion, Yun Zhongzi's expression was one of shock, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"How could Yu Ding do such a thing?"

"Why would he do this?"

"Yes, he must have been influenced by the tribulations of the Red Dust, just like Dao Xing. He wanted to cultivate Yang Jian and became fixated, using Fairy Yun Hua as a trigger for Yang Jian... This indeed leads down a sinister path!"

"No wonder the master issued orders a while ago for all brothers to return to their cave mansions, to silently recite in the Huang Court and not to venture out... It seems that the tribulations of the Red Dust are indeed terrifying!"

...

Listening to Yun Zhongzi's murmuring, Yu Yuan did not interrupt and quietly looked around.

The mystical aura of the Grotto Heaven was dense, clouds swirled and mist spread around, pairs of Immortal Cranes soared upwards, while brocades of Koi frolicked.

Tiny ginseng spirits that had transformed, wearing grass skirts, played in groups within this blessed land; numerous plant spirits had also transformed into fairy-like figures, appearing and disappearing in the dense forest.

Yu Yuan looked on both with admiration and regret.

It was a pity that these wild fairy-like plant spirits differed greatly from those he raised in front of his door, understanding neither melody nor skilled in dance, wasting their enchanting figures.

"Fellow Daoist!"

While he was lost in thought, Yun Zhongzi suddenly stood up, bowed solemnly towards him, and said earnestly, "I must thank you, fellow Daoist, for your righteous action in Heavenly Court previously, stopping Yang Jian from causing havoc, and preventing Yu Ding from further mistakes.!"

Yu Yuan looked at the solemn Yun Zhongzi and couldn't help feeling a bit emotional.

Taught by the same master, how come there's such a big difference?

Looking at the Twelve Golden Immortals, then at Yun Zhongzi!

One must say the title Fude True Immortal is not in vain.

No wonder there's a saying, "There are only wrong names, no wrong nicknames."

This Yun Zhongzi, in his sincerity and nature, indeed deserves the words "virtue, fortune, and truth."

"It was just a minor matter, not worth mentioning."

Yu Yuan waved his hand indifferently and smiled, saying, "Although our Chan Sect and Jie Sect have many conflicts because of the Divine Enthronement, when it comes to justice, I don't care if someone is a disciple of Chan Sect, or Jie Sect, or anyone else...

If I encounter evil deeds, I naturally cannot ignore them; I must intervene!"

Yun Zhongzi nodded vigorously, his face full of admiration, "This must be the knight-errant spirit you once talked about, right? Helping the weak and joy in aiding others... Truly inspiring."

"Cough, pretty much."

Yu Yuan coughed lightly, not continuing on this topic, and turned to Yun Zhongzi, "Earlier, I asked Shengong Bao to send that Heavenly Sound Bell to you, did you receive it?"

Yun Zhongzi nodded, excitement flashing in his eyes, speaking a bit excitedly, "These days, I've been studying the Heavenly Sound Bell, trying to repair the innate restrictions inside, it's just that the bell is severely damaged, to restore its original capabilities, it requires at least a thousand years to gradually restore the innate restrictions within."

"A thousand years?" Yu Yuan frowned slightly.

"The innate restrictions inside the Heavenly Sound Bell mainly consist of rather rare musical runes, I have very little research on it, and it will take a lot of time to find useful information, a thousand years might even be an understatement," said Yun Zhongzi somewhat sheepishly.

Hearing this, Yu Yuan couldn't help feeling disappointed.

He had been rather looking forward to repairing the Heavenly Sound Bell, and the main purpose of coming to Zhongnan Mountain to find Yun Zhongzi was to retrieve this treasure.

He had strong expectations for the Heavenly Sound Bell quite some time ago.

As the methods of message transmission among the primordial Immortal Gods were limited to a few types; either use fast spiritual birds and beasts for delivery, or use communication jade scrolls, or sound transmission treasure pearls...

The first two methods are only suitable for short distances and are at risk of interception; the latter method is perfect but consumable, using up a pair once used.

The key issue is the extremely scarce production of this material, even he didn't have many, only usable in urgent situations.

Thus, Yu Yuan was indeed interested in the Heavenly Sound Bell that could transmit messages across the entire Primordial.

As long as the Heavenly Sound Bell was in hand, during this period of pervasive calamity where even the Saints could not calculate the heavenly mechanisms, he could even take the initiative in information.

If really necessary, he would have to take the Heavenly Sound Bell back to Penglai and ask his master for help.

Yu Yuan quietly pondered in his heart.

He wasn't familiar with Tongtian Hierarch before, but now he gradually felt the Saint's regard and protection for him, naturally, he could comfortably seek his help.

At this moment, Yun Zhongzi looked at him and said, "Though the Heavenly Sound Bell can't be repaired in the short term, according to your request, by studying the Heavenly Sound Bell and the innate runes within Sound Transmission Treasure Pearls, it can be deconstructed into a new type of communication spiritual treasure."

"Hmm?"

Why do you have to speak with such heavy breaths!

Yu Yuan glared at Yun Zhongzi impatiently, then curiously asked, "You dismantled the Heavenly Sound Bell? What does it look like now, bring it here and let me see!"

"This spiritual treasure is not yet officially completed, it's a good opportunity for you, fellow Daoist, to provide some suggestions."

While speaking, Yun Zhongzi reached out and took out two palm-sized bronze mirrors, handing one to Yu Yuan.

The bronze mirror was indeed a remnant of the Heavenly Sound Bell, about an inch thick, with a clear yellow hue, the front smooth and flat, while the back was engraved with numerous, complex, and mysterious runes.

Yu Yuan tried to probe into the mirror with his Divine Thought, but he could only see countless runes that made his head spin at just a glance, prompting him to curiously ask, "How should this treasure be used?"

"Just write the message you want to convey on the surface of the mirror, and the other mirror will immediately receive it..." As Yun Zhongzi spoke, he touched the bronze mirror in his hand lightly.

At the same time, Yu Yuan immediately saw a line of immortal script appearing on the bronze mirror in his hand: Can you see this?

"This..."

Seeing this scene, Yu Yuan felt as if he was experiencing a time from ages past.

This feeling is so familiar!

"How far can this bronze mirror be used?"

Yu Yuan asked the question he was most concerned about.

This was also a crucial point.

Because the Primordial is too vast.

Just one mountain range can span millions of miles, and if the mirror could only transmit messages short distances, then it would be meaningless.

"Specifically, I have not tried yet, but the runes used on this mirror were dismantled from the Heavenly Sound Bell, and I added some other runes, so it should also be able to traverse the Primordial like the Heavenly Sound Bell..."

Yun Zhongzi appeared quite confident in the treasure he had crafted, looking at Yu Yuan and saying, "There's another most important point, the dismantled Spiritual Treasure doesn't need to be used in pairs like the Sound Transmission Treasure Pearls."

Yu Yuan was slightly shaken, surprised as he asked, "What do you mean?"

Yun Zhongzi played coy, smiling and saying, "Please stretch out your hand first."

Yu Yuan didn't hesitate, and accordingly stretched out his left hand.

Yun Zhongzi made a hand gesture, muttering incantations, and then there seemed to be an invisible thread in his hand, wrapping around both his own and Yu Yuan's index fingers.

Then, he gently hooked his index finger, and Yu Yuan's finger involuntarily twitched as well.

"Do you know what this Divine Skill is?" Yun Zhongzi asked.

Yu Yuan shook his head, his eyes revealing a touch of wonder.

To think he could control his finger without his reacting, this Divine Skill was truly formidable.

"This is called 'Single Thread Connection.'"

Yun Zhongzi explained.

The Primordial Clan is numerous, and many have Innate Divine Abilities, all kinds of bizarre ones.

Single Thread Connection is also an Innate Divine Ability of an exotic species from the Primordial.

Once two creatures are bound by that invisible and intangible "thread," they can emulate the same actions through mental connection within a certain distance.

Yu Yuan then realized, the reason he made the same action just now wasn't because he was controlled, but rather he and Yun Zhongzi had developed the same sensory response; essentially, it was still him moving on his own.

That moment, Yun Zhongzi made another gesture, wrapping another invisible thread around his index and Yu Yuan's middle finger.

Then, he gently hooked his own finger again, and both Yu Yuan's index and middle fingers then made the same motion simultaneously.

"Now you know, right?"

Yun Zhongzi looked somewhat proud as he watched Yu Yuan.

"Got it," Yu Yuan nodded, "You mean it's like 'having a foot in two boats', right?"

"Huh?"

Yun Zhongzi paused for a moment, not quite understanding his meaning.

"Just a joke."

Yu Yuan laughed, waved his hand to dissolve the invisible thread, picked up the bronze mirror, and seriously asked, "So, this Spiritual Treasure you dismantled can achieve one-to-many simultaneous message transmission?"

"Correct!"

Yun Zhongzi seriously replied, "I only dismantled a piece of the Heavenly Sound Bell to study, if the whole thing is dismantled, then it should be possible to make nine such mirrors... However, the Heavenly Sound Bell is yours, so whether to dismantle it or not should be decided by you."

Although he said so, Yu Yuan could clearly perceive the expectation in Yun Zhongzi's eyes.

He considered for a moment, thinking that if he took the Heavenly Sound Bell back to Penglai to ask his mentor to fix it, he might still get a whole Heavenly Sound Bell, but then only he could use it.

But if he dismantled the Heavenly Sound Bell, he could get nine mirrors, equivalent to nine incomplete Heavenly Sound Bells, which he could share with himself and eight other people...

Had it been earlier, Yu Yuan would definitely not hesitate to choose the complete Heavenly Sound Bell, but seeing the expectation in Yun Zhongzi's eyes, he nodded and said with a smile, "It's just a broken bell anyway, let's dismantle it."

"Good!"

Yun Zhongzi joyfully replied, smiling as he said, "Please wait here, friend. In no more than three days, I will be able to deliver the nine mirrors into your hands!"

"Go ahead, go ahead."

Yu Yuan watched Yun Zhongzi leave, took out his self-crafted Leisure Chair, comfortably leaned back, and then called out to the wild floral elves in the distant dense forest.

"Do you know how to sing and dance to music?"

"Not really, come on, let me teach you..."
