Martial Peak

Qi Hai added, “Which of the Great Emperor’s artifacts aren’t sentient? The Mountains and Rivers Bell is the Natal Emperor Artifact of Yuan Ding Great Emperor, it has its own consciousness! If it is willing to choose you as its master, you don’t even need to refine it! It will take the initiative to run into your arms, but if it doesn’t find you worthy, even if you are a peak Emperor, you won’t be able to touch it.”

The young man’s eyes lit up when he heard this and he anxiously asked, “Brother Qi, you mean to say if there is an opportunity, even I can become the master of this Mountains and Rivers Bell?”

Qi Hai stated with a frosty look on his face, “Everyone has an equal opportunity!”

The young man broke into happy laughter as he proudly proclaimed, “This Zhang isn’t confident in other things, but he is quite confident in his own luck. Since the Mountains and Rivers Bell is sentient, it might choose this Zhang as Yuan Ding Great Emperor’s successor and pass me the mantle of Great Emperor!”

He broke into a burst of frantic laughter. While speaking, he actually turned around and started walking towards the Mountains and Rivers Bell.

Everyone was startled at the sight of this and they all realized that this guy surnamed Zhang was going to try to make the Mountains and Rivers Bell choose him as its master! For a moment, everyone curiously looked at him, wondering what the final result would be.

Many of them had a change in their expression, also seeming eager to try; however, they suppressed their urges and patiently waited to see what was going to happen.

Qi Hai stared at the young man’s back and sneered, seemingly mocking his overconfidence.

In front of everyone’s eyes, the young man advanced unopposed, briskly making his way towards the bell-shaped mountain. Perhaps because of how smoothly he was advancing, his confidence increased and he quickened his pace with ecstasy.

Very soon, he was only fifty metres away from the mountain, and still inching closer and closer to it.

At this moment, all the onlooking cultivators were on the edge, weighing the pros and cons of this situation. Everyone was worried; if this man really got lucky and obtained the Yuan Ding Great Emperor’s Natal Emperor Artifact, wouldn’t he be the next Yuan Ding Great Emperor?

After another ten breaths, the young man walked up to the mountain without encountering any obstacles or danger along the way. Everyone was a little taken aback by the fact that he hadn’t encountered any troubles. At the sight of this, even the originally sneering Qi Hai became a lot gloomier all of a sudden.

Everyone thought, [Is this guy really destined to be its master by the Heavens themselves!?]

The young man couldn’t help but break into riotous laughter, “I have kept you waiting for far too long. Today, this Zhang will take you away, so you may, once more, proudly walk the Star Boundary. The brilliance of Sir Yuan Ding should not be covered in dust!”

While speaking this, he reached out his hand and tried to touch the bell.

Immediately, a flash of light pulsated from the mountain, as if it was reacting to the young man’s words.

This greatly increased the confidence of the young man surnamed Zhang and without any more delay, he pressed his palm onto the mountain peak and spread his Divine Sense, trying to connect with the Artifact Spirit of the Mountains and Rivers Bell.

But right then, something strange happened.

The bell-shaped peak shook ever so slightly as a loud hum reverberated from within. In an instant, the mountain collapsed as rocks and sand flew in every direction.
