After I Became the Holy Son of the Blissful Sect, the Female Leads Begged Me to Spare Them - Chapter 7:

Chapter 7: The Archaic Bell

At the same time…

After leaving the Holy Son’s main hall, Su Qianqian didn’t rush off to find Lin Yan like she usually would. Instead, she walked slowly, feeling the surging power within her body…

Even now, she could hardly believe it.

She had really… broken through to the 1st stage Spirit Sea Realm!

Before this, she had been stuck at the peak of the Spirit Gathering Realm for several months… and now, just after dual cultivating with Ye Mu twice, she had managed to shatter the bottleneck and break through!

This made her involuntarily recall Ye Mu’s words…

Dual cultivating with Ye Mu was her blessing…

“Even if that’s true… two hours is still way too long…” Su Qianqian whispered.

Though it might’ve been because it wasn’t her first time, or perhaps Ye Mu had more experience, this time wasn’t as painful as the last. In fact… though she didn’t want to admit it, it actually… felt somewhat good.

Especially when the yin and yang energies merged and her cultivation level rose…

“Junior Sister Su! What are you talking about?! What was too long?!”

Suddenly, Lin Yan’s voice rang out!

Su Qianqian was startled. She looked up and realized that she had unknowingly walked all the way back to the cave residence entrance!

And Lin Yan… was standing right there! His brows were slightly furrowed, and his gaze toward her was full of suspicion!

Panic rose in Su Qianqian’s chest for no reason.

“N-Nothing! Brother Lin must have misheard!”

“…”

Lin Yan’s frown deepened, but in the end, he said nothing more. He simply walked into the cave with Su Qianqian and sat down on a chair before asking, “Junior Sister, where did you go today? Why are you back so late?”

“I went to ask for another sacred medicine for you. As for why I came back late… I ran into some things along the way…”

Su Qianqian spoke while pulling the sacred medicine from her storage ring and handed it to Lin Yan.

Staring at the sacred medicine before him, which radiated a strong medicinal scent, Lin Yan was stunned at first, then filled with emotion and guilt.

“So Junior Sister Su got up early this morning!! Just to ask for sacred medicine for me!!”

After all, just a moment ago… he had been doubting Su Qianqian. And what he was suspicious about… naturally involved that kind of thing between men and women.

After all, this was the Blissful Sacred Land, where cultivators were very open.

Even though he didn’t believe Junior Sister Su was like the other ordinary women of the sect, seeing her like that, he couldn’t help but suspect a little!!

“Junior Sister Su, you just got one sacred medicine yesterday! And today you went again! Did Ye Mu give you a hard time?”

After the touching moment passed, Lin Yan asked again.

Su Qianqian’s expression tightened, and she quickly shook her head. “O-Of course not!”

Lin Yan didn’t doubt her and simply laughed, “Hahaha! I was overthinking it! Ye Mu’s just a bootlicker! Junior Sister only needs to curl a finger and he’ll hand the sacred medicine over! Why would he make things difficult for you!”

With that, he stood up and walked straight to the bedroom. “Junior Sister, I’m going to absorb the sacred medicine now!!”

…

As soon as he entered the room, Lin Yan couldn’t wait to summon Gu Xiyu and said excitedly, “Hahaha! Master! I didn’t expect that fool Ye Mu to give Qianqian another sacred medicine! At this rate, I’ll be able to break through to the Nirvana Realm in just half a month!!”

Gu Xiyu frowned slightly. “I feel there’s something off about this. This sacred medicine… could it have been tampered with?”

Lin Yan waved it off. “How could that be!! The aura of this sacred medicine is genuine! Alright, Master, protect me! I’m going to absorb it now!!”

Gu Xiyu looked at the sacred medicine… and indeed, just as Lin Yan said, its aura was genuine. She couldn’t say anything more and began to protect him.

Lin Yan quickly finished absorbing the sacred medicine.

His realm broke through to the 7th stage Life and Death Realm!!

Though a faint pain came from his dantian, Lin Yan didn’t care at all. He assumed it was due to the potency of the medicine.

“Master!! With my current strength!! I should be able to strike the Archaic Bell nine times!! I’m heading to the martial arena right now. What do you think!!”

In ancient times, there was a supreme sacred weapon that descended upon the Archaic Dao Domain. It was obtained by the Blissful Holy Lord at the time and named the Archaic Bell. It was placed at the martial arena!!

Any disciple below the Nirvana Realm could strike the bell to test their strength!

It was said that those who could strike it nine times would be recognized by the bell and become its new master!!

But in the last thousand years, no one had ever struck it nine times!!

Although Lin Yan had never attempted it before, with his current strength, he had full confidence in himself. This confidence didn’t come solely from power—it also stemmed from his intuition.

Since he was young, there had been a strange feeling deep inside him. Whenever he acted based on that feeling, things always worked out!

Like now! That feeling inside told him… with his current strength, he would definitely strike nine times and subdue the Archaic Bell!

“If you really manage to strike nine times and gain control of the Archaic Bell, it’ll be a huge help on your path to becoming an Emperor!!” Gu Xiyu said.

The corners of Lin Yan’s lips lifted. “Once I become an Emperor, I’ll help Master rebuild your body first!”

He paused, licked his lips, and silently added in his heart, “Then… become Dao companions with Master…”

Gu Xiyu chuckled. “Don’t aim too high! First focus on subduing the Archaic Bell, then obtain the Flame Inheritance. Only then can we talk about the future!”

Lin Yan nodded solemnly. “Master, you’re right!”

With that, he left the bedroom and headed toward the martial arena…

…

Meanwhile!!

Ye Mu had already arrived at the martial arena. The moment he appeared, countless disciples around began whispering.

“Is that… Ye Mu? What’s he doing at the martial arena instead of staying in the Holy Son’s main hall?”

“Are you crazy? Calling the Holy Son by name is taboo! You think you’re Su Qianqian and can do whatever you want?”

“Hehe, he’s so handsome, I wanna–”

Ye Mu didn’t have a great reputation in the sect.

Understandably so.

He was a cultivator with only mid-grade talent, yet because of his mother’s status, he became the Holy Son—a position all disciples dreamed of.

On top of that, the previous Ye Mu had constantly chased after Su Qianqian.

Such behavior would earn scorn from anyone!

Of course… except for those lustful female disciples. Not only did they want to curse him a few times, they also wanted to * him a few times—after all, Ye Mu really was incredibly good-looking.

“Holy Son, is there something you need at the martial arena?”

At this moment, a female elder stepped up to Ye Mu with a smile—though many mocked him behind his back, they still treated him respectfully on the surface.

Ye Mu’s voice was calm.

“I had a breakthrough recently. I want to test my strength using the Archaic Bell.”

“Hmm?”

The female elder raised an eyebrow, clearly surprised.

After all, everyone knew that in recent years, Ye Mu had neglected cultivation to pursue Su Qianqian.

“In that case, follow me.”

The elder didn’t press further. Soon, she led Ye Mu to the Archaic Bell.

“Before you strike the bell, allow me to remind you… The Archaic Bell doesn’t only test strength—it also tests talent. I possess high-grade talent, and even in my youth, I only managed two strikes. If you want to test your strength, sparring with other disciples is more accurate.”

The elder warned him.

Clearly… she didn’t want Ye Mu to ring the bell. With Ye Mu’s strength, he might not even produce a single sound!

If that happened, in less than three days, the whole Archaic Dao Domain would be flooded with rumors that the Blissful Sacred Land’s Holy Son couldn’t even ring the Archaic Bell once!

That wouldn’t just embarrass Ye Mu alone—it would shame the entire Blissful Sacred Land!

“No need. I’ll test with the Archaic Bell.” Ye Mu declined flatly.

Hearing this, the female elder sighed inwardly… it seemed their sect’s face was destined to be lost today.

So be it…

It didn’t have much to do with her anyway.

If they were going to be embarrassed, so be it.

“In that case, I’ll say no more.”

The elder stepped back slowly, leaving Ye Mu alone on the platform.

The surrounding crowd immediately erupted in a flurry of discussion…
