The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

Chi Miao slightly raised her eyelids, then stared at the Judgment Bell for a long while before finally saying, "Oh."

insensitive.

Trial Bell: "???!"

"You're going to die."

Chi Miao: "Oh."

Trial Bell: "I told you you're going to die!"

Chi Miao: "I said yes!"

Trial Bell: "..."

Speechless.

I told you you were going to die, and this is all the feedback you get? This is the least you can do?!

Could you please not be so cold? That's your life! Your own life!

Chi Miao said, "I've heard similar words no less than five times from last year to this year, and I believe I will hear them no less than five times every year in the future, but I will still hear them every year."

"You get numb to all this talk about dying and dying after hearing it so much."

Judge Zhong: "...Okay...Alright."

That makes sense.

The things about Chi Miao weren't exactly big secrets, and based on what it knew about her, she was someone who was very good at courting disaster.

Especially in this life, he is extremely skilled at... He dared to kill a Tribulation Transcending stage cultivator in this way right after breaking through to the Golden Core stage, not only without any loss, but also by giving his sect a comprehensive upgrade.

No one else would have dared to do that.

Yes, that's very Chi Miao, very much like that woman.

Chi Miao: "Tell me, what's the reason for this time?"

Judgment Bell: "The Yama Curse is expected to erupt in less than six months."

Chi Miao: "?"

Chi Miao: "Wasn't the Yama Curse supposed to be suppressed until I'm at least twenty years old?!"

Judge Zhong: "Theoretically, that's true, but... you should know better than me one thing: you have... something you shouldn't have."

Chi Miao squinted, pondering what riddle the Judgment Bell was trying to solve.

Something she shouldn't have?

Wait, could it be?!

"Demonic energy." The Judgment Bell gave the answer the instant she thought of it.

"The demonic bloodline in your body will hasten your demise under the Yama Curse."

Upon hearing this, Chi Miao tensed up immediately, clenched his fists, and prepared to face the judgment bell in front of him at any moment.

She was well aware of the gap between them, but... she wasn't the kind of person who would give up and wait to die.

The Judgment Bell symbolizes absolute fairness and justice for humanity. Wenren Yin's collusion with the demon race is enough to warrant a death sentence, yet she, despite possessing demon blood, lives and walks in human form.

In some ways, this is even more dangerous than Wenrenyin.

She couldn't exactly explain that she didn't originally have this bloodline, but that she had a system that assigned her one, could she?

Does this make sense? It's utterly absurd!

It's like after being married for many years, you discover that your husband is secretly having sex with you, and he tells you that he wasn't originally a bottom, but only developed this habit after being pampered by men after marriage.

Is that acceptable?

Obviously not!

It was at this moment that the Judgment Bell let out that "clang clang clang" of indulgent laughter again.

"Don't be nervous. No matter what bloodline you have, what sins you have, or what you are that is beyond the understanding of ordinary people, I can accept it and gladly accept it, because your existence... is the most special."

I won't hurt you.

Chi Miao: "Then swear! If you say you hurt me, you're a dog!"

Judge Zhong: "...That's enough."

Chi Miao went berserk: "I don't care! They don't care! If you don't tell, it's a fight to the death!"

She's not so easily fooled!

Judge Zhong: "...Under normal circumstances, my existence would not be punished, and even if I spoke out, it would be useless."

Chi Miao: "This isn't about sanctions! This is a matter of principle! I @#$@#$"

Chi Miao's barrage of words nearly drove Judge Zhong to his breaking point, finally prompting him to back down.

"Alright, alright, I'll tell you, I'll tell you. If I hurt you, I'll be a little dog! Are you satisfied now?"

Chi Miao was pleased: "Satisfied."

From now on, when you brag, just say that you made the divine weapon submit and willingly became its puppy.

Trial Bell: "..."

Oh shit.

So abstract.

It was just a bell, and it rarely felt so helpless or wanted to cry for help.

Now that she was certain the Judgment Bell wouldn't harm her because of her demonic bloodline, she felt reassured and boldly began to ask:

"Why does the demon bloodline accelerate the Yama's Curse?"

Judgment Bell: "This matter is rather complicated, related to demonic energy and even the origin of the demon race. You only need to know... this power belongs to you, and it doesn't belong to you."

Chi Miao acted like he was the boss: "What kind of riddle are you giving? Just get straight to the point, I don't understand."

Trial Bell: "..."

Hold back! Hold back! You can't hit him! If you do, you'll turn into a puppy!

So this is how you act after you've confirmed it won't beat you up!

"If you say too much, you'll probably die right now."

Chi Miao asked curiously, "Why?"

Judge Zhong: "There are some things you can't know at this stage. You just need to understand that heaven is watching what people do... but you can't be seen by heaven."

"From the moment we are born, each person is defined by a pair of eyes—the Way of Heaven, which controls life and death, destiny, and everything else..."

"But in each of your countless reincarnations, someone will place a restriction on your birth, causing you to avoid the gaze of the Heavenly Dao under normal circumstances."

"Because once your growth is discovered by the Heavenly Dao... you will surely be destroyed by it."

"And once something is spoken, it will use that as a medium to quickly find you."

Chi Miao gasped, "Then...then why did I receive a blessing from the Heavenly Dao when I established my foundation, yet I'm still standing here perfectly fine?"

The sound of the judgment bell suddenly took on a profound meaning: "Who told you that all these years... there has only been one Heavenly Dao?"

"The blessing of Heaven is a rule set for this world. It appears naturally when the conditions are met, rather than being bestowed by Heaven itself."

"But if you come a few more times, even a fool would be able to find you."

Chi Miao suddenly felt a chill run down her spine as she thought about it, and the word "ah" kept popping into her head.

No, there can't be just one Heavenly Dao, can there?!

Chi Miao became curious again: "I understand that through countless reincarnations, I've defied fate to change what kind of lowly life I've been given, but what is my status and position that would make the Heavenly Dao hunt me down?"

Is she more powerful than the Heavenly Dao?

How could someone as powerful as her be cursed with the Yama Curse?

Even if it was a mistake, this mistake is too big.

The judgment bell did not answer the question, but instead said: "When it is your turn to know, you will know."

"If you truly wish to investigate all of this... perhaps you should enter the Heavenly Sorrow Cave sooner?"

"The Heavenly Sorrow Cave might answer some of the questions you want to know. At the very least... you will know how Heavenly Sorrow slaughtered the cultivation world back then, and how he managed to ascend to immortality even when the path to immortality collapsed."

"Even... if you were smarter, you might know why the demon race exists!"

"Time is running out... You'd better watch your feet."

Chi Miao: "The soles of my feet??"

Why did we suddenly start talking about her feet?

What's on the soles of her feet?

Jade feet?

She looked down.

She was stunned when she saw it!
