Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 745 - : 745

Chapter 745: 745

The value of the Chaos Pearl definitely exceeds that of the Upper Clear Qiankun Mirror.

At least, the damaged Upper Clear Qiankun Mirror is absolutely incomparable; a one-for-one exchange is without a doubt a great bargain for Wang Chen.

Thus, Hu Jiaojiao’s mother flying into a rage is quite understandable.

You should know, aside from comprehending the Great Dao, the Chaos Pearl is also a treasure for refining a True Immortal Cave Heaven.

The palace-dressed beauty giving the Chaos Pearl to Hu Jiaojiao is both a reward and an expectation.

Wang Chen opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

...

He couldn’t possibly act cute after getting a bargain, could he?

He would be slapped to death!

“Originally, I wanted to slap you to death and be done with it,”

the palace-dressed beauty said coldly, “but I was afraid Jiaojiao would hold a lifelong grievance against me. So, how about this…”

“You help me complete a task, and I’ll pretend I didn’t see you two flirting here. You can also take the Chaos Pearl with you. How about that?”

Not good at all!

Wang Chen’s head wasn’t kicked by a donkey; how could he not see her bad intentions?

Such leniency indicated that the task was probably more difficult than ascending to heaven, and it might even cost him his life.

He asked with a bitter face, “Senior, may I refuse?”

“Of course you can.”

The palace-dressed beauty nodded, “Leave the Chaos Pearl and your Divine Soul behind, and you are free to go.”

Leave the Divine Soul behind?

That would leave nothing but a walking corpse!

Wang Chen noticed that Hu Jiaojiao’s eyes were filled with guilt and sadness at this moment.

She shouldn’t have asked Wang Chen to come to Green Hill.

Ultimately, it was because Hu Jiaojiao temporarily couldn’t leave Green Hill and was afraid of delaying Wang Chen’s Solidifying Pill opportunity, resulting in a big mistake!

Wang Chen took a deep breath and bowed, “Junior is willing to serve Senior, please instruct me.”

“That’s right.”

The palace-dressed beauty was very satisfied, “I am not unreasonable, and I won’t deliberately send you to your death. Observing that you carry a great Fate, perhaps you are the very person our Fox Tribe has been waiting for to untie the bell!”

No sooner had she finished speaking than a fist-sized bell instantaneously appeared in front of Wang Chen.

This bell was dark gold in color, and upon careful observation, one could see it was engraved with countless intricate characters both inside and outside, resembling twisted tadpoles.

Wang Chen was shocked.

His eyesight was excellent, so he could see the characters on the bell clearly.

But he recognized none of them!

The issue was, Wang Chen felt a sense of familiarity with these characters.

Then he remembered the ancient tome he had previously unsealed from the jade—it had the same characters!

“This is the Questioning World Bell, our Fox Tribe’s ancestral Holy Object…”

According to what the palace-dressed beauty said, this treasure was a key, a key that could open up a small world.

And the world connected to this Questioning World Bell had not yet been thoroughly explored to this day; the Fox Tribe had owned it for over a thousand years but had very limited information about it.

Only cultivators below Divinity Transformation—that is, Monster Race individuals below the rank of Monster Monarch—were able to activate the power of the Questioning World Bell,

transporting them into the small world it was connected to.

Over the past thousand years, in order to explore and truly claim this small world, the Fox Tribe had already lost three Demon Kings and nine Great Monsters!

As for how many Spirit Monsters, equivalent to those in the Purple Mansion stage, have been lost, although the palace-dressed beauty did not say, Wang Chen guessed it must be many more.

Even though the Fox Tribe was powerful, ranking within the top five of the Monster Race,

they could not endure such large-scale losses over a long period!

Hearing this, Wang Chen couldn’t help but ask, “So, none have returned alive?”

“Some have.”

The palace-dressed beauty replied, “My master came out alive after entering, but she only said one sentence before falling.”

Wang Chen was speechless.

He gave a bitter smile and said, “Then what would Senior like me to do?”

Surely he wasn’t expected to find the origin of the world, right?

The origin of the world is the foundation of a small world; to conquer and possess this small world, one must find and obtain its origin, otherwise, it cannot be considered truly under control.

“It’s simple.”

The lady in the palace garb said, “Although my master has returned, the Mysterious Fox Order he held was lost within. As long as you go in and retrieve this item, I will no longer interfere with your affairs with Jiaojiao in the future!”

“Of course, you may take the Chaos Pearl with you, and my Green Hill Fox Tribe will also consider you a friend.”

Wang Chen fell silent for a moment, then nodded and said, “Alright.”

In truth, he had no other choices; his silence was merely his final stubbornness and resistance.

And it was just a little bit of that.

“Don’t say that I, myself, am uncompassionate.”

The figure of the palace-dressed beauty gradually became ethereal, but her voice still clearly entered Wang Chen’s ears, “You have one ‘shichen’ to prepare. If there is anything you need to instruct, you can tell Jiaojiao.”

The next moment, celestial music faded away, leaving only the Questioning World Bell quietly suspended in midair.

And the restraints on Hu Jiaojiao’s body were lifted as well.

“I’m sorry.”

The eyes of the Fox Tribe beauty brimmed with crystal tears, and the moment she regained her freedom, she threw herself into Wang Chen’s arms.

“It doesn’t matter.”

Embracing the warm and soft beauty, any trace of Wang Chen’s grievance also vanished completely.

Because he felt the guilt and sadness in the woman in his arms genuinely; it wasn’t a deceitful act.

Wang Chen comforted her, “It’s okay, I’ve always been very lucky!”

Hu Jiaojiao lifted her head and suddenly leaned in to give him a peck on the lips.

The next moment, she abruptly stepped back and reached out to draw the Questioning World Bell into her hand.

Wang Chen was immediately shocked and exclaimed, “Don’t!”

He saw the resolute expression on Hu Jiaojiao’s pretty face and immediately realized what she intended to do.

However, Wang Chen’s attempt to stop her was far too late. At this time, Hu Jiaojiao had already activated the Questioning World Bell in her hand, which burst into a dazzling light encapsulating her.

In the blink of an eye, Hu Jiaojiao’s figure disappeared, leaving only the Questioning World Bell still hanging in midair.

Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Chen grabbed the holy object of the Fox Tribe.

A strong suction force emanated from within the bell.

Wang Chen did not resist.

His figure also vanished in an instant!

Almost at the same time, a graceful figure appeared beside the Questioning World Bell.

She bore at least a seven-point resemblance to Hu Jiaojiao, but with a maturity and charm that Hu Jiaojiao could not match; her beauty was beyond words!

The palace-dressed beauty gazed at the Questioning World Bell whose light was gradually dimming.

“Foolish child.”

She let out a light sigh, a hint of confusion visible in her otherwise crystal-clear eyes.

For a powerful being like the lady in palace garb, such an emotion was extremely rare.

Yet, she saw a reflection of her younger self in Hu Jiaojiao’s selfless actions, and it momentarily threw her off balance.

The palace-dressed beauty even felt regret.

She should not have pressured her beloved daughter so much, nor should she have severely underestimated Wang Chen’s significance in her daughter’s eyes.

But now it was too late for regret. Once the Questioning World Bell was activated, unless one entered at the first opportunity, it would take another ten years before it could be activated again.

For now, all she could do was quietly await the outcome.
