Chapter 1033: The Inverse Emperor Bell

Since all of Amalia’s formation tools had been destroyed during the Path of All Immortals incident, she used amulets to create the formation instead. In no time, the protective formation was ready.

Only then did Kenny Lin open the box. A flash of golden light shot out, streaking past them and escaping the confines of the hut.

The golden light darted into the sky like a gleaming arrow, heading straight for freedom. However, it was stopped short by the barrier surrounding the Nameless Peak.

The entire barrier began to tremble violently, more intensely than it had during the purple tribulation lightning attack.

Just when it seemed the barrier might break, it suddenly stabilized. A streak of black light emerged from the rear of the mountain, intercepting the golden light before it could flee.

"Master!" Amalia exclaimed, recognizing the figure cloaked in the black aura.

The figure, none other than her master, Tian Wuya who is descended from the sky while holding the unruly golden object in his grasp.

Hearing her disciple’s call, Tian Wuya immediately deduced who was responsible for the disturbance. She landed lightly before them.

Amalia quickly stepped forward. "Thank you, Master."

"This... is the item you retrieved from the Path of All Immortals?" Tian Wuya asked, her voice calm yet full of curiosity.

Although she had been in seclusion but she could sensed the barrier’s instability just in time.

"Yes, Master. Master Lian told us you that were in seclusion, so I dared not disturb you," Amalia replied, slightly embarrassed that her actions had drawn her out.

"No matter. I did not expect you two to come across something like this. Was it obtained in the Immortal Palace?" Her interest in the object was evident as she waved dismissively at her apology.

"We found it in the Immortal Spring. We had no idea it possessed such destructive power. The formation I set up was broken in an instant," Amalia admitted, feeling somewhat ashamed. If not for her master’s barrier, the artifact would have escaped.

"That it broke your formation is no surprise," Tian Wuya said, examining the golden artifact closely. "If I’m not mistaken, this is likely the Inverse Emperor Bell, a legendary artifact from the Immortal Realm. It’s said to rank among the top three on the Divine Artifact List."

Although she had never seen the Inverse Emperor Bell in person, the object’s appearance matched descriptions he had heard in the past.

Amalia and Kenny Lin were stunned. Amalia asked, "The Inverse Emperor Bell? Is it really that powerful?"

"In its prime, even my barrier wouldn’t be able to withstand it for half a breath. What do you think?"

Amalia took a deep breath. "If even your barrier couldn’t hold it, Master, its power must be unimaginable."

"Indeed. The Inverse Emperor Bell disappeared after the Great War of the Immortals. No one expected it to have been hidden in the Immortal Palace all this time. Over the millennia, countless people have searched for it. The Immortal Palace itself must have been turned upside down, yet in the end, you two managed to obtain it," Tian Wuya said, marveling at their extraordinary luck.

"It’s pure luck," Amalia replied humbly. "To be honest, the Inverse Emperor Bell was largely thanks to Kenny. If not for his persistence, we wouldn’t have acquired it."

"Master, what exactly is the purpose of this Inverse Emperor Bell? The moment it left the box, it tried to escape. Does it have sentience?" Kenny Lin asked curiously.

Tian Wuya examined the artifact closely. "It doesn’t have sentience. After the Great War of the Immortals, the Immortal Realm collapsed, and many artifact spirits perished. As for the Inverse Emperor Bell, I’m not sure if it originally had an artifact spirit or not. But now, it definitely does not. The bell itself is no ordinary artifact. Being confined for so long, its attempt to escape is likely a reflex. Furthermore, the Inverse Emperor Bell has the unique trait of choosing its own master."

"So it tried to escape because it doesn’t think we’re worthy to be its masters?" Kenny Lin’s expression was incredulous.

Tian Wuya glanced at him and said with deliberate indifference, "Perhaps."

Kenny Lin was already making plans—no matter what, he was determined to claim the Inverse Emperor Bell as his own.

It was already in their possession, yet the artifact still refused to choose either him or Amalia. He was intent on forcing it to recognize him.

"What is going on in that head of yours?" Amalia asked, seeing through his thoughts instantly. Her master’s earlier remark had clearly been a joke, but Kenny Lin seemed to be taking it seriously.

Kenny Lin shrugged his shoulder, unbothered.

"Master, is it possible to refine this Inverse Emperor Bell?" Amalia ignored him and turned directly to Tian Wuya.

"You can try. But with an artifact of this level, even I have never attempted such a thing."

Tian Wuya couldn’t provide a definitive answer. She and Lian Qinglan had participated in the Path of All Immortals over 9,000 years ago, but they had not encountered any Immortal Spring. That mysterious domain had only appeared in later years.

"Myself and Lian Qinglan once speculated that the Immortal Spring might have been a grand scheme laid out by the master of the Immortal Palace before their death. Otherwise, treasures like these would never have been gathered in such a place."

"In the Immortal Palace, the wandering spirits mentioned that some immortal presence still exists there. Those spirits are unable to act freely, supposedly because they are restrained by this immortal," Amalia added.

Tian Wuya paused to consider. "What is the current strength of these wandering spirits in the Immortal Palace?"

"The strongest ones are at the Body Integration stage, but there aren’t many of them," Amalia replied.

"If an immortal truly exists there, it’s likely no more than a fragmented remnant of their spirit. Otherwise, no matter how many Body Integration stage wandering spirits there are, they wouldn’t stand a chance against even a single true immortal."
