The Eastern Emperor of all Heavens did not wish to become a Buddha.

Chapter 31 Natal Weapon
This is another advantage of the Heaven-Covering Technique: it allows one to refine a Great Dao artifact that grows alongside oneself.

For example, many imperial weapons in the world of Shrouding the Heavens are essentially continuations of the Dao of those great emperors, and their power is earth-shattering.

According to the records in the Daoist scriptures, divine patterns will be born in the four minor realms of the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm: the Sea of ​​Bitterness, the Spring of Life, the Divine Bridge, and the Other Shore. Each minor realm can be used to refine a kind of artifact.

However, according to the explanation of the Martian Holy Body, as the vessel that carries one's own Great Dao, it is not better to have more natal artifacts. Apart from a complete set of natal artifacts like the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation of the Spirit Treasure Celestial Venerable, most top experts will melt all the divine runes together to refine the strongest natal artifact.

Now, Zhong Xu has opened up the Sea of ​​Bitterness and entered the Realm of the Spring of Life, and can now refine his own natal weapon.

He naturally chose to refine the strongest artifact, embarking on a path where one artifact can overcome all laws.

He hadn't originally decided what type of natal artifact he wanted to refine.

But now, looking at the fragments of the Eastern Emperor Bell floating in the Sea of ​​Bitterness, he had an idea.

Now that he understood that this world of Zhuxian was a small world ruled by a supreme being, Zhong Xu naturally understood the origin of this fragment of the Eastern Emperor Bell.

It is likely a core fragment of the Donghuang Bell, the peerless treasure of the other shore once possessed by the ancient emperor Donghuang Taiyi.

With this peerless fragment from the other shore as a reference, Zhong Xu was able to refine a natal artifact far beyond the imagination of ordinary cultivators.

In the future, as his cultivation level increases, he might even be able to integrate this fragment of the Eastern Emperor Bell into his own natal weapon, forging a supreme imperial weapon unique to him.

'Eastern Emperor Bell'

Looking at the ancient and weathered fragment of the Eastern Emperor Bell and sensing the unfathomable energy contained within it, Zhong Xu made up his mind.

With the Eastern Emperor Bell as its natal item, both the art style and the overall sophistication are absolutely top-notch.

With this in mind, Zhong Xu no longer hesitated and began to control the divine runes that appeared in the Sea of ​​Bitterness after it was opened.

These divine runes swirled above the Sea of ​​Bitterness, like divine chains, formed entirely from his own essence, energy, and spirit, perfectly matching him.

Of course, truly refining the primordial divine runes within the Sea of ​​Bitterness into a weapon is not so easy.

First, Zhong Xu needs to determine the form of his natal weapon and firmly imprint it in his heart, refining it little by little without any flaws.

With fragments of the Eastern Emperor Bell and its illusory form as sources of comprehension, this was naturally no challenge for him.

Consciousness merged with the golden Buddha and Bodhi seeds in the ocean of the mind, the light of wisdom flowed, and Zhong Xu's mind entered a state of clarity.

Then, he looked at the illusory ancient bronze bell formed with the fragments of the Eastern Emperor Bell as its core, and engraved the patterns on it into his mind little by little.

For him, this was also a process of self-cultivation.

After all, a complete Eastern Emperor Bell can be a peerless treasure from the other shore, and even if only fragments remain, they still contain the profound insights of the other shore level.

For Zhong Xu now, even just grasping a tiny bit of the basics is an incredible stroke of luck.

If he didn't possess a more powerful and complete Eastern Emperor Bell, and had a deep causal connection with this fragment of the Eastern Emperor Bell, under normal circumstances, let alone comprehend the residual Daoist essence within it, he would probably have directly transformed into the Dao just by glancing at it.

Observing and imprinting again and again, Zhong Xu's mind was completely immersed in the illusory ancient bell formed from the fragments of the Eastern Emperor Bell, and many different insights arose in his heart.

During this process, his aura underwent subtle adjustments and transformations, his newly broken-through cultivation level quickly stabilized, and his realm gradually improved without him even realizing it.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhong Xu felt he had reached his limit and had completely imprinted the form of the Eastern Emperor Bell in his mind before withdrawing his consciousness from the illusory bronze bell. Then, he merged his mind with the primordial divine runes within the Sea of ​​Bitterness, beginning to control these runes, allowing them to recombine and change according to his will.

Buzz

Above the Sea of ​​Bitterness, divine runes danced continuously, like chains of divine order, constantly shifting and intertwining, eventually coalescing into a small bronze bell the size of a fist according to Zhong Xu's will.

Although the bronze bell looks small, it is engraved with various intricate and mysterious patterns, exuding a profound aura, and is clearly a powerful artifact.

If ordinary cultivators in the world of Shrouding the Heavens were to see this, they would probably immediately be tempted to snatch it.

However, looking at this small bronze bell, Zhong Xu always felt that it was not quite perfect, as if it only had an outer shell and lacked spirit.

Shen Yun!

A flash of inspiration struck Zhong Xu, and he immediately focused his mind on the fragments of the Eastern Emperor Bell, trying to comprehend the Daoist essence of this artifact from the other shore.

Boom!
The ethereal and melodious sound of the bell rang out, echoing in Zhong Xu's heart and also reverberating above the Sea of ​​Bitterness.

Zhong Xu's mind was shaken, and the form of the Eastern Emperor Bell engraved in his mind underwent a subtle adjustment, carrying a trace of perfect perfection and an immortal Daoist charm.

At the same time, the patterns on the bronze coffin that he had once recorded in his mind began to change continuously, gradually merging into the bell wall of the Eastern Emperor Bell, constantly intersecting with the Dao patterns on it, making the form of the Eastern Emperor Bell engraved in his mind increasingly ancient and mysterious.

'So that's how it is! This is the real Eastern Emperor Bell!'

Countless insights surfaced in his mind, and following the intuition in his heart, Zhong Xu began to refine his natal weapon anew.

The bronze bell transformed back into primordial divine runes, which then intertwined once again according to Zhong Xu's will to form a new bronze bell.

The new bronze bell did not change much in appearance or shape, but the moment it was formed, Zhong Xu immediately sensed a sense of harmony and nature from it, as if it were a naturally formed object, filled with profound and mysterious Daoist charm.

'That's it!'

Looking at the newly formed bronze bell, Zhong Xu was deeply moved, as if he were seeing a part of himself in it.

Although it is only in its initial stages, and can even be considered a prototype, this bronze bell, as an artifact forged with the reference of the peerless beauty of the other shore, has already shown some divine power.

In the future, as long as he finds powerful divine metals and materials, Zhong Xu will be able to truly refine a powerful natal artifact, a natal object that carries his own Great Dao and grows with him.

As Zhong Xu envisioned himself achieving great cultivation in the future, wielding his natal treasure, the Eastern Emperor Bell, and suppressing his cheap master, the Demon Buddha Ananda, with a mere wave of his hand, a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

After a long while, he suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind and continued to comprehend the Daoist essence contained in the fragments of the Eastern Emperor Bell, adjusting his natal artifact little by little.

This natal artifact is currently only in its embryonic form and requires continuous refinement to become complete. This is a long process, and Zhong Xu is not in a hurry.

Moreover, for him, the process of comprehending the Daoist principles contained within the fragments of the Eastern Emperor Bell and refining his own natal artifact is also a process of continuously enhancing his understanding of the Great Dao and constantly refining his cultivation.

The night was peaceful, and the bright moon hung high in the sky.

In the quiet and simple meditation room, Zhong Xu's aura was slowly changing and strengthening, gradually transforming, waiting for the day he would finally transform into a dragon.
