"Ring the bell first! Don’t forget about revenge, but we must plan carefully."
Qin Hao’s casual words reassured many people.
It looks like the boss still plans to retaliate against that old man, so what’s there to fear? We’ll get our revenge eventually!
Afterwards, Qin Hao led everyone to the west side of the Registration Hall.
Near the cliffside, there was a Pentagonal Pavilion, with a large bell hanging in its center, thick enough to be embraced by three people, and seemingly cast from ancient bronze, golden all over, looking very imposing.
Below the large bell, there was also a stone tablet with the words "Innate Bell" engraved on it.
"Boss, only those in the Innate Realm can ring the Innate Bell and make it sound. It serves as a way for disciples to prove they have entered the Innate Realm."
Wang Tu explained beside him; he had lived the longest in the Outer Courtyard and knew many things.
Absorbing Spiritual Qi for personal use is the sign of successful entry into the Innate Realm.
However, since some people’s Spiritual Qi is unstable and very scarce after absorption, outsiders might not be able to detect it. Just now, Ren Zhengfei looked down on them being in the Innate Realm, because of this reason.
The main issue was that several people had wasted their Spiritual Qi, leaving no Spiritual Qi flowing around them, making them look like ordinary Outer Court Disciples.
Because many similar situations occurred, the sect came up with the idea of setting up the Innate Bell.
If you are in the Innate Realm and possess Spiritual Qi, you naturally can ring the bell.
If you’re not of this realm? Sorry, but you might find it difficult even to move the bell.
"Boss, would you like to go first?"
Although everyone was eager to try, the first chance was still given to Qin Hao.
Unexpectedly, Qin Hao shook his head: "You go ahead."
Once he said this, everyone didn’t dwell on it; after all, it doesn’t matter if you ring first or later.
Thus, after agreeing on the outcome, Liu Qing went first to ring the bell.
...
At the entrance of the Registration Hall.
Ren Zhengfei was lying there, trying repeatedly to fall asleep.
However, due to the events that had just happened, he was somewhat restless and couldn’t fall asleep.
"Could it be that I’ve sensed impending danger?"
Ren Zhengfei opened his eyes. Since the Innate Bell was located on the cliff, he couldn’t see the traces of Qin Hao and the others.
"Danger? It’s nothing more than that kid coming to settle the score with his elders."
Ren Zhengfei revealed a sneer: "Hey! I’m practically a pile of bones; I don’t believe those old guys will bother me over such a trivial matter. Besides, they were disrespectful first, and I have plenty of reasons on my side! There’s no need to be afraid!"
Thinking so, Ren Zhengfei resolutely closed his eyes, ready to fall asleep.
Dong!
The sound of the bell rang out from the cliffside, not loud but very heavy, as if it could hit people’s hearts.
Ren Zhengfei opened his eyes, showing a disdainful smile: "Hehe, the heir of a high-ranking figure only has this level? The loudness of this bell doesn’t compare to mine back then. Looks like that Qin Hao is good for nothing!"
Qin Hao and others didn’t know, but Ren Zhengfei was very clear.
The loudness of the Innate Bell is also related to each person’s level.
The louder the bell, the deeper the person’s Spiritual Qi foundation and the more extraordinary their potential.
Judging by the bell sound just now, Ren Zhengfei was certain that the potential of the person who rang the bell was very mediocre, perhaps stuck in the Innate Realm for life.
"What good is having the demeanor of a hero? With such limited potential, they’re destined to be a nobody!"
Ren Zhengfei mocked Qin Hao inwardly, becoming increasingly contemptuous of him.
However, the next moment.
Dong!
Another bell sounded.
What?
Ren Zhengfei was bewildered; how did it ring again? Could it be Qin Hao rang it a second time?
Soon, Ren Zhengfei dismissed this possibility.
Firstly, the Innate Realm has a special restriction; each disciple only has one opportunity to ring the bell within seven days.
If used, they can’t ring it within the seven-day period.
Secondly, ringing the bell requires full strength; if one can ring it once, they’re already spent, leaving no ability for a second ring.
So, this bell was rung by someone else?
Who could it be?
Ren Zhengfei was puzzled.
Dong!
The third bell rang, louder than the previous two, weighing heavily on people’s hearts.
"Shit!"
Ren Zhengfei stood up from his chair; after the first two rings, he could still accept it.
But what’s happening with the third ring!
Ren Zhengfei was mentally dazed, preparing to take a step forward to see for himself.
Dong!
The fourth ring sounded, as loud as the third!
"I..."
At this point, Ren Zhengfei was so shocked he couldn’t speak, remaining in place, mind blank.
Due to the extreme surprise, even after the fifth and sixth sounds rang out, he was still in a stunned state, frozen in place, his aged face written with bewilderment.
"Impossible! It can’t be like this! So many people broke through at once? Is this still the sect I know?"
"The highest concurrent advancement record for the sect is five people, and that dates back a hundred years. Today, that record was surpassed?"
Ren Zhengfei’s mind was so muddled that he even wondered if he was suffering from senile dementia.
And just then.
Dong!
The seventh bell sounded abruptly.
This sound was much richer than the previous six combined, giving a sense of helplessness like facing a tsunami in a storm.
Judging by sound alone, this was louder than those six people combined!
An absolute thunderous burst!
Especially, when this sound rang, the dazed Ren Zhengfei shuddered suddenly, actually frightened.
He took a sharp cold breath, staring incredulously in the direction of the Innate Bell.
"Who on earth is this formidable person? This spectacle rivals those renowned within the Inner Sect standing on the Bright Monument, like Ji Yue’Er! How’s this possible!"
Ren Zhengfei shook his head vigorously, face full of shock: "You must understand, Ji Yue’Er has an Innate Dao Body, one in ten thousand! Could it be, our Huashan Sect has birthed another prodigy?"
As an elder accustomed to the storms, even though the shock couldn’t be explained, Ren Zhengfei knew today’s consecutive seven rings meant something.
Seven Innate Realm disciples had been born!
This grand event is rare, even in top-notch sects!
How could those elder shut-ins remain calm?
Moreover, the last ring was truly astonishing, carrying signs of announcing the birth of another extraordinary talent to the world.
With all this combined, Ren Zhengfei knew the sect wouldn’t be calm going forward.
Just thinking about it, he saw streams of light flying across the sky, some blue, some red, a total of seven. The direction they headed was the vicinity of the Innate Bell.
"The seven related to the sect’s prestige have arrived? I must hurry, or I’ll miss out on benefits!" Ren Zhengfei’s eyelid twitched, stepping forward to head towards the Innate Bell.
