Chapter 186: Chapter 93: The Third Trait: Chang’s World

’Is that Bloodstained Battle Banner also a Divine Power Seed, just like my Eternal Golden Bell?’

After that fierce battle, Jiang Xuan had come to truly understand that Cultivators with Divine Power Seeds and those without were in completely different leagues.

At the same Realm, a battle between the former and the latter was nothing short of a higher-dimensional beatdown.

Fortunately, Jiang Xuan was also one of those who had awakened a Divine Power Seed.

Furthermore, the awakening of a Divine Power Seed wasn’t about superficial appearances. It was intrinsically linked to a Cultivator’s Spirit Root quality, the foundation built through arduous cultivation, their innate Talent and opportunities, their cultivation fortune, and so on.

And Jiang Xuan—who had cultivated arduously for a month and received a little help from the Profession System—was no weakling.

’If I hadn’t completed the profession change to Scripture Profound Daoist and used that clever method to stabilize the Righteous Level Nether Abyss Dharma Eye, the Divine Power Seed I awakened would indeed be a notch below Chen Qianjun’s.’

’After all, as a direct descendant of the Chen Family, he has been baptized in all sorts of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures since childhood, including rare items like the Blood of the Flood Dragon. Moreover, he possesses an Earth Level Top Grade Spirit Root, perhaps even a Celestial Level one... In terms of innate foundation, I was indeed far inferior to him before.’

’But there are no ’ifs’. I completed the profession change for both, and after that, Scripture Profound Daoist and Nether Abyss Dharma Eye became part of my foundation. And that is what made my awakened Divine Seed of the Eternal Golden Bell stronger than his Bloodstained Battle Banner!’

As for why Jiang Xuan believed his Eternal Golden Bell was stronger than the Bloodstained Battle Banner despite its seemingly inferior performance, it was because he had only ever used two of the Golden Bell’s three great Traits: Impermeable and Constant Meditation. The third and most powerful Trait, he had never activated.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan sighed.

’Sigh... I originally thought I wouldn’t need to use this trump card during the trial. It seems I underestimated the Chen Family... But it makes sense. If they weren’t absolutely confident of victory, they wouldn’t have been willing to bring out Treasure Level Treasures to empower Chen Qianjun!’

...

"Kill!"

As these thoughts raced through Jiang Xuan’s mind, Chen Qianjun, burning with battle intent and blood qi, had already broken through multiple barriers and was closing in on him.

Without a shred of hesitation, he furiously swung the Red Flame Giant Sword in his hand straight down at Jiang Xuan’s head!

He acted with such decisiveness, not even wasting time on a single word. This was partly because Chen Qianjun couldn’t maintain his current state for long and had to end the fight quickly.

But it was also because he was extremely wary of Jiang Xuan.

Throughout this battle, Jiang Xuan had unleashed one ability after another, his strength continuously soaring, which made Chen Qianjun’s scalp tingle with dread.

Worried that any delay might bring unexpected complications, he made his move with unparalleled ferocity.

Unfortunately, as fast as he was, the unexpected still happened.

Or rather, as he closed to a certain distance, Jiang Xuan unleashed the third Trait of his Divine Seed of the Eternal Golden Bell.

Its name—Eternal Dominion!

BZZZT!

As Jiang Xuan poured all his power into activating this ability, a phantasmal Golden Bell suddenly shot out from his body.

The bell was magnificent and immense, carrying a faint, concealed meaning of something that seemed eternal and imperishable.

This phantasmal Golden Bell first merged with the Spiritual Energy Shield formed by Jiang Xuan’s Circulation of Heaven and Earth. Then, Jiang Xuan began burning his Magical Power to fuel it at full speed, while his Nether Abyss Dharma Eye activated in sync, frantically devouring Spiritual Qi from all eight directions and pouring it in ceaselessly.

VMMMM—!

Amidst the trembling hum, the Golden Bell’s form expanded wildly. It ultimately swelled to over ten meters in height, becoming a colossal bell that completely enveloped both Jiang Xuan and Chen Qianjun within.

At that moment, Chen Qianjun’s Red Flame Giant Sword was just a hair’s breadth from Jiang Xuan’s forehead. If he could have moved just one step further, Jiang Xuan would have been cleaved in two.

But alas, for the current Chen Qianjun, that short distance had become as vast as the ends of the earth, an impossible gap to cross.

"Seal Spirit!"

"Freeze Space!"

DONG! DONG!

As the phantasmal Golden Bell enveloped the two of them, and following Jiang Xuan’s two Imperial Decrees, two magnificent peals rang out from within the bell.

This was not the serene, distant toll of an ancient temple bell at dusk, but the supreme resonance of a great dynastic cauldron, the foremost of ceremonial instruments, possessing a unique and inherent majesty.

Jiang Xuan’s voice merged with this magnificent, immense ringing, making his commands sound like decrees from Heaven itself.

DONG!

When the first peal sounded, the power Chen Qianjun had gained from burning his battle intent and blood qi was suddenly sealed away.

With a single "Seal Spirit," Jiang Xuan forced him back to the Spirit Core Initial Stage.

But that wasn’t all. When the "Freeze Space" decree rang out, everything within the bell was instantly frozen solid, like a specimen preserved in amber.

Chen Qianjun, his unstoppable figure, was frozen mid-air just like a mosquito in amber, unable to move a muscle.

"?!?!"

This scene made Chen Qianjun’s pupils shrink. His Divine Soul trembled violently as monstrous waves of shock crashed through his heart.

He never imagined that Jiang Xuan could immobilize him while he was wearing the Prison-Suppressing Armor.

What horrified him even more was the way Jiang Xuan had done it—at that moment, he felt as if the entire world had turned against him.

Jiang Xuan, who had accomplished all this with a single word, seemed like the very Dominator of Heaven.

While he stood there in horror, Jiang Xuan looked at the scene before him with a sigh of wonder, unable to help but recall the astonishment and ecstasy on his face when he first learned of the Eternal Golden Bell’s third ability.

’I never thought the Eternal Golden Bell would awaken such an ability.’

—The awakening of a Divine Power Seed is never a coincidence; it is intrinsically linked to a Cultivator’s cultivation and potential.
