Chapter 1095
Where Does It Come From?
When the group arrived at Bell Spirit Valley, they saw a huge bronze bell floating in mid-air, its surface covered with ancient runes and incantations. The melodious sound of the bell emanated from this very bell.
"This bronze bell... seems to contain extremely powerful spiritual energy!" Feng Wu exclaimed in surprise, her fiery wings fluttering gently as if trying to sense the power contained within the bronze bell.
"Moreover, this bronze bell also has some mysterious connection with the Heavenly Stele." Yang Ling stared at the bronze bell, his eyes gleaming with contemplation. "Perhaps we can use this bronze bell to further uncover the secrets of the Heavenly Stele."
"Then what should we do?" Yunmeng asked, her eyes filled with anticipation and curiosity.
“We need to gather everyone’s strength to activate this bronze bell together,” Yang Ling said in a deep voice. “Only in this way can we further explore the secrets of the Heavenly Stele and find out where this ancient and mysterious aura comes from.”
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. They formed a circle, each circulating their internal energy and channeling their immortal power into the bronze bell. As the five elements merged, the runes on the bell began to flicker, emitting a dazzling light.
"Open!" Yang Ling commanded, and the bronze bell trembled violently, a beam of light shooting into the sky. At the same time, a melodious chime emanated from the bell, a sound that seemed to transcend the boundaries of time and space, drawing everyone's hearts into a mysterious world.
In that world, they witnessed the origin of the Heavenly Stele, the vicissitudes of the cultivation world, and the rise and fall of countless powerful figures... and that ancient and mysterious aura came from a sleeping ancient being.
"That's... a sleeping Immortal King!" Yang Ling exclaimed, his eyes filled with shock and awe. "The activation of the Heavenly Stele has actually disturbed the slumber of this Immortal King!"
"A Celestial King..." Upon hearing this, everyone gasped. They knew that Celestial Kings were the strongest beings in the cultivation world, possessing world-destroying power. And now, a sleeping Celestial King had awakened due to the activation of the Heavenly Stele, which was undoubtedly a tremendous challenge.
"We must be prepared to meet the challenge of this Celestial King," Yang Ling said in a deep voice. "At the same time, we must continue to explore the secrets of the Heavenly Stele and find the power to fight against this Celestial King."
“Yes, we can’t just sit here and wait to die.” Long Xuan also stepped forward. “We must take action and seek all possible assistance.”
“That’s right, we also need to strengthen the defenses of the valley,” Feng Wu added, “in case the subordinates sent by this Celestial King attack us.”
“Feng Wu is right. We can’t just focus on the Heavenly Stele and the Immortal King. Defense is just as important.” Yun Meng nodded in agreement, her gaze sweeping over the group. “I suggest we split up. One group will continue to study the Heavenly Stele and the Bronze Bell, trying to find more clues about the Immortal King and ways to fight him; the other group will be responsible for strengthening the valley’s defenses to ensure our safety.”
“I agree with Yunmeng’s plan,” Li Qing said, expressing his support. “I can take charge of the defense. I have some knowledge of formations and might be able to set up some traps and mazes to delay the Immortal King’s attack.”
“Then Long Xuan and I will continue to explore the secrets of the Heavenly Stele,” Yang Ling said after a moment of contemplation. “Feng Wu, your Flame Wings have a unique advantage in reconnaissance and message transmission. How about you take charge of relaying information between the two sides?”
“No problem, leave it to me.” Feng Wu readily agreed, her fiery wings fluttering gently, as if she couldn’t wait to throw herself into the new mission. “Then let’s get started. Time is of the essence, we must prepare as soon as possible.” Yun Meng waved her hand, and everyone responded, dispersing to begin their work.
Yang Ling and Long Xuan arrived before the bronze bell, gazing intently at the runes and incantations on its surface, attempting to find more clues. Meanwhile, Li Qing led a group of people to set up arrays around the valley. Their movements were swift and orderly, quickly constructing a complex defensive network.
Feng Wu circled in the sky, her eyes sharp as a hawk's, constantly alert to any movement around her. Meanwhile, Yun Meng led another group to continue studying the Heavenly Stele. They tried various methods to activate the runes and incantations on the stele, hoping to find a way to fight against the Celestial King.
The atmosphere in the valley grew increasingly tense and heavy. Yang Ling and Long Xuan stood before the bronze bell, their gazes filled with determination and unwavering resolve, as if they wanted to see through all the mysteries of this ancient bell.
“Longxuan, look at the runes on this bell. They seem to echo the patterns on the Heavenly Stele.” Yang Ling said, pointing to the runes flowing on the surface of the bronze bell. His fingertips gently traced the engravings, as if trying to comprehend their mysteries.
After listening, Long Xuan focused his attention and frowned slightly: "Indeed, there seems to be some kind of connection between these runes. Perhaps we can use the bronze bell to establish a deeper communication with the Heavenly Stele."
After speaking, Long Xuan formed a hand seal, and his immortal power surged within him, transforming into a stream of light that flowed into the bronze bell. The bronze bell immediately emitted a melodious ringing sound, a sound like heavenly music that soothed and delighted the soul.
At the same time, Yang Ling also circulated his cultivation technique, merging his immortal power with Long Xuan's, and together they activated the bronze bell. The runes on the bronze bell began to flicker, bursting forth with dazzling light, as if to reveal all the secrets of the world.
"Open!" Yang Ling and Long Xuan shouted in unison, their voices like thunder echoing through the valley. The bronze bell trembled violently, and a beam of light shot into the sky, illuminating the heavens.
After the beam of light dissipated, an ancient and mysterious sound emanated from the bronze bell. The sound seemed to transcend the boundaries of time and space, drawing Yang Ling and Long Xuan's minds into a mystical world.
In that world, they witnessed the origin of the Heavenly Stele, the rise and fall of the cultivation world, and the rise and fall of countless powerful figures. And that ancient and mysterious aura came from a slumbering, ancient being—the Immortal King.
"The secret of the Heavenly Stele is actually related to the Immortal King!" Yang Ling exclaimed in surprise, his eyes filled with shock and awe.
“It seems our exploration has only just begun,” Long Xuan said in a deep voice, his eyes revealing determination and resolve. “No matter how many dangers lie ahead, we must uncover the secrets of the Heavenly Stele and find the power to fight against the Immortal King.”
Meanwhile, on the other side of the valley, Yunmeng was leading a group of people to study the Heavenly Stele. They were busy working before the stele, trying various methods to activate the runes and incantations on it. (End of Chapter)
