The Driftsnow City had always been an extremely mysterious city. Its strength originated from a very long time ago.
Once, the Driftsnow City was constructed by a supreme existence. He transformed the entire city into a divine weapon, and this city itself was a supremely powerful divine weapon that possessed unfathomable might.
In fact, there were even rumors that the Driftsnow City had a weapon spirit.
After that, after the master of the Driftsnow City died, the Driftsnow City gradually fell into silence. Until many years later, the weapon spirit would only manifest itself occasionally. Most of the time, it remained silent. But every time it manifested, it would be the period when the Driftsnow City summoned its master.
The Nine Immortality Bells were the protectors of the Driftsnow City. From ancient times until now, they had always been located within the Driftsnow City and had an incomparably long history. Every time the weapon spirit manifested itself, it would be a sign of the Nine Immortality Bells appearing.
The Nine Immortality Bells were originally nine divine weapons. There were also people who said that it was a complete divine weapon that was divided into nine parts, becoming a type of test for the Driftsnow City. As long as one could communicate with the Nine Immortality Bells, they would have a chance to unravel the secrets of the Driftsnow City.
Hence, every time the Nine Immortality Bells of the Driftsnow City appeared, experts from all over the Cloud Prefecture would gather here. This was especially so for those powerful weaponsmiths. It was said that only weaponsmiths could truly communicate with the Nine Immortality Bells and obtain its recognition.
But even after countless years, no one had truly unraveled the secrets of the Driftsnow City. However, the crowd had never given up. They continued to try and in the process of every attempt, there would always be someone who gained a deep comprehension when communicating with the Nine Immortality Bells, becoming a grandmaster-level character.
The Nine Immortality Bells, don't ask immortals.
The Nine Immortality Bells wouldn't react to immortal-foundation experts. Only those below the immortal-foundation realm would have a chance to communicate with the Nine Immortality Bells.
Naturally, a long time ago, there was another line behind this sentence.
It was the Nine Immortality Bells, the path of immortal ascension, becoming an immortal in a single step.
No one knew the exact meaning of this line. Nobody had ever unraveled the secrets of the Nine Immortality Bells before. Hence, no one knew the exact meaning behind this line. But generation after generation, all of them worked hard.
More and more people gathered here. Other than the experts from the Jiang Clan, the Purple Flame Sect, Nine Coldpeak and other major powers, there were even experts from the other major powers of the Cloud Prefecture. As for the people of the Driftsnow City, they were all paying close attention to the Nine Immortality Bells. Countless people gathered in this area, their gazes never once left the bells.
It's said that every time the Nine Immortality Bells manifested, there would always be geniuses who were able to communicate with the bells, gaining a deep level of comprehension and undergoing a transformation. It was unknown which outstanding characters would appear this time around.
"That man is Jiang Yan from the Jiang Clan, a genius weaponsmith of the younger generation. Not only that, his combat prowess is also extremely high. Right now, he's only in his fifties and has already broken through to the eighth-level of Celestial Phenomenon. He's one of the elites among the younger generations of the Jiang Clan, with outstanding talent. This time around, among those from the Jiang Clan, Jiang Yan is one of them." From afar, there was someone who paid close attention to the situation here.
"This Jiang Yan is from the Jiang Clan, a weaponsmithing genius of the younger generation. Not only that, his combat prowess is also extremely high. He's only in his fifties but his cultivation base is already at the eighth-level of Celestial Phenomenon. He's one of the elites among the younger generation of the Jiang Clan with outstanding talent."
"This Jiang Yan is so powerful. Not long after he stepped into the vicinity of the Nine Immortality Bells, runic light started to revolve around him. He seems to be forming a connection with several runic inscriptions, wanting to form a resonance with the Nine Immortality Bells." The eyes of the spectators flickered as they stared at Jiang Yan.
Other than Jiang Yan, the disciples from the Nine Frost Peak and the Purple Flame Sect were all attempting as well. This included the young man from the Purple Flame Sect and the unkind young woman who looked at Qin Wentian with disdain.
Qin Wentian didn't bother about the disdain of the other party. He stood below the ancient bell, basking in the boundless runic light as he quietly comprehended.
To him, each and every rune wasn't something hard to decipher. The difficult part was how to use these runes to communicate with the Nine Immortality Bells. Most probably, he wouldn't be able to do it if he simply tried to decipher them.
"Runes are the source of energy, able to draw upon the law energy of Heaven and Earth. As long as I can find the law energy of these runes, I would be able to communicate with the Nine Immortality Bells." Qin Wentian silently mused. He actually walked to the side of the Nine Immortality Bells and sat down, closing his eyes as he quietly contemplated.
In the surroundings, boundless runic light flashed, boundless like the sea, unfathomably deep. It was as though he had no idea where to start.
And just like that, he sat there for several days.
The Nine Immortality Bells had existed for countless years in the Driftsnow City and there had never been anyone who could unravel the profoundness within. How could it be so easy to communicate with one of the ancient bells?
During these few days, the number of experts gathering around the Nine Immortality Bells grew more and more. The number of geniuses attempting to communicate with the Nine Immortality Bells also increased. With a single glance, there were already tens of thousands of people. However, in the face of this terrifying ancient bell, even ten million people didn't seem like a lot.
Back then in the teahouse Qin Wentian met, the young miss, had also arrived. She stood at the side, her beautiful eyes flickering as her gaze landed on a young man slightly older than her.
"Crown Prince's attainments in the dao of divine inscriptions are extremely high. I wonder if there's a chance for him to communicate with the Nine Immortality Bells." An immortal-foundation expert beside her spoke as he stared at the young man.
So it turned out that this young man was none other than the crown prince of the Jiangling King Manor, Pei Xiao.
As for this young miss, she was none other than a daughter of the Jiangling King Manor, named Pei Yu. The two of them were cousins, with Pei Xiao being slightly older.
"He should be able to do it, but I don't know to what extent." Pei Yu spoke in a low voice. And at this moment, the countless runes ahead converged into a river of runic light, slamming into the gigantic Nine Immortality Bells. A moment later, a light chime rang out from the Nine Immortality Bells, but there wasn't much of a reaction.
"It's Jiang Yan, as expected of someone from the Jiang Clan. He managed to cause the Nine Immortality Bells to chime so quickly. He should have a chance to communicate with it."
"Direct attack?" Qin Wentian mumbled. With an intention of his will, numerous runic lights flickered, but they seemed to be hidden within the boundless runic light. They didn't take form, but they continued squirming unceasingly, containing a tyrannical might within. However, when this surge of energy neared the Nine Immortality Bells, it halted. With an intention of his will, all the fluctuations dissipated into nothingness.
"If it's just an attack, I can easily use multiple types of energy to attack the Nine Immortality Bells. But if it's just an attack, it's basically impossible for it to shake the Nine Immortality Bells. Could it be that I only need to cause the Nine Immortality Bells to chime, and from there, find a connection point?" Qin Wentian mused silently. His eyes were still closed as the boundless runic light cascaded downwards, enveloping his entire body. These runic lights seemed to be a part of the Nine Immortality Bells.
"There should be a type of law energy that can allow humans and divine inscriptions to resonate." Qin Wentian silently mused. Runic inscriptions were able to activate law energy.
What he needed to do was to find out where this type of energy came from.
However, this seemed to be extremely difficult.
For the next few days, more and more experts tried to cause the Nine Immortality Bell to chime. However, they still chose to stay and didn't leave, continuing to attempt. Right now, they could only sense a faint trace of the Nine Immortality Bell's immortal spirit.
"The crown prince has succeeded. Although he has no way to completely communicate with the Nine Immortality Bells, as long as he can cause the bell to resonate with him, the Nine Immortality Bells would pay attention to him. As long as the crown prince can forge a powerful divine weapon, he would still have a chance to gain the recognition of the Nine Immortality Bells." Many experts from the King Manor gathered together as they discussed the current situation.
At this moment, a tyrannical energy frenziedly squirmed, transforming into a ferocious beast that coiled around the Nine Immortality Bells. After which, rumbling sounds rang out unceasingly, exuding a majestic aura.
"Awesome, as expected of a genius of the Jiang Clan." An expert from the King Manor praised as he stared at the experts from the Jiang Clan. Jiang Yan was truly very powerful, he was at the forefront of the ten million participants. If there was someone who could communicate with the Nine Immortality Bells, that person would definitely be him, Jiang Yan.
"BOOM!" Another series of chimes rang out. However, the commotion caused by this chime was much smaller compared to Jiang Yan. However, it still caused the disciple from the Purple Flame Sect who had disdain for Qin Wentian to have a complacent expression on his face. He could sense a pair of formless eyes staring at him. That must be the immortal spirit of the Nine Immortality Bells.
"I still need to work harder." That person clenched his fists tightly, feeling somewhat agitated as he continued his attempts. His gaze inadvertently glanced at Qin Wentian who was sitting not far away from him. This fellow was truly too senseless, sitting there from the start. What a waste of time.
"BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!" At this moment, an incomparably loud chime reverberated through the heavens and earth. In the air, the reverberations of the chimes rang out unceasingly, ringing into the ears of the crowd.
"Not here." The gazes of the crowd abruptly froze as they stared into the horizons.
There were a total of nine Nine Immortality Bells, and the one here was only one of them. Not only were there experts attempting to communicate with the Nine Immortality Bells, there were also geniuses from other locations attempting to do so as well.
"BOOM, BOOM!" The chimes continued reverberating through the air. After which, a voice boomed out, "Haha, Jiang Yan, seems like you can't do it. It's been so long but I can't hear any sounds coming from your side."
This voice penetrated through the clouds, containing an intense provocation within. Jiang Yan inclined his head, his eyes gleaming with sharpness.
"Who is it? He actually dares to provoke the genius of the Jiang Clan, Jiang Yan?" A puzzled expression appeared on the faces of those in the crowd.
"Cheron." Jiang Yan's eyes gleamed with sharpness as he spoke, his words causing the hearts of many to tremble. This was especially so for those from the Jiangking Manor. Their countenances all turned sharp. Cheron was an extremely legendary young genius. In the world of weaponsmithing, he could be considered a legendary character of the younger generation and was extremely powerful. He came from another supreme sacred ground of the Cloud Prefecture, the Wondergate Immortal Manor.
This power had nurtured many outstanding Divine Inscriptionists, slowly eroding the influence and status of the Jiang Clan in the Cloud Prefecture!
