In the region of the Nine Immortality Bells, blazing flames soared as all sorts of weaponsmithing cauldrons appeared, floating in the air, shining with resplendent light.
Naturally, there were also geniuses who weren't weaponsmiths. They were proficient in divine inscriptions and could sense the runic light emanating from the Nine Immortality Bells, forming a connection with them. Hence, they quietly sat before the Nine Immortality Bells, attempting to form a connection with them.
Among these people, there were many who originated from the major powers of the Cloud Prefecture.
"What powerful flames, many of them are exceedingly rare flames. In fact, there are even some that were refined by experts using immortal flames." In the air, resplendent immortal light flashed. The immortal-foundation experts all had immortal halos around them. Their eyes gleamed with sharpness as they stared at the geniuses forging weapons.
Pei Tianyuan, Ji Kong, the Driftsnow Master and the others stood together. Beside them, there were experts from the major powers of the Cloud Prefecture.
"This time around, the Jiang Clan seems to place more importance on this compared to the Wondergate Immortal Manor. The number of people from the Jiang Clan is even greater." Pei Tianyuan glanced to the side. The experts from the Jiang Clan formed a group. Their gazes landed on Jiang Yan and the other experts. At this moment, the flames Jiang Yan controlled shimmered with a treasured light, exuding a hint of coldness. This type of flame was known as the Netherfrost Flame, and its destructive power was extremely strong. Just being touched by it would cause injuries.
"A few disciples from the Wondergate Immortal Manor came, as well as a few elders. Their numbers are far inferior compared to the Jiang Clan."
Pei Tianyuan turned his gaze to Cheron. Cheron's flames were golden in color, and his eyes also gleamed with a hint of gold. The flames enveloped the forging materials, resembling a terrifying golden lotus. As it opened and closed, a fiery heat gushed forth.
"Their control is so precise. Seems like the weaponsmithing techniques of these geniuses are extraordinary." Ji Kong mumbled. Other than the disciples from the Jiang Clan and the Wondergate Immortal Manor, there were also many other outstanding weaponsmiths.
Qin Wentian was still in front of the eighth ancient bell with his eyes closed. The runic light in the air flowed about in the darkness, hidden in formlessness, converging into a mysterious energy that revolved around the Nine Immortality Bell, transforming into law energy that directly seeped into the ancient bell. In an instant, Qin Wentian's will seeped in and another city appeared before him.
This time around, Qin Wentian saw the Driftsnow Inn. The Driftsnow Inn of the past was even more beautiful compared to the Driftsnow Inn today. Although the mountain range and buildings were roughly the same, the loneliness and emptiness of the mountain made it seem like a paradise on earth. Snowflakes drifted about, the Driftsnow Inn was filled with desolation, causing one to feel a sense of desolation and loneliness. What was even more shocking was that in the middle of the Driftsnow Inn, a beautiful silhouette could be seen quietly lying there. She was clad in a beautiful long dress, resembling a fresh flower in full bloom.
Amidst the boundless white snow, she exuded a poignant beauty. As the snowflakes landed on her body, they swiftly melted away. The eyes of that beautiful silhouette were still open, with a poignant smile on her face. On the mountain rampart beside her, a row of graceful words could be seen.
"Refining One City to spend the rest of my life, the lord is unwilling, I can only do it personally. Unfortunately, the heavens do not grant my wish. In the place of love, in the Driftsnow Inn, the lord shall take one last look at the beauty."
The graceful words contained a sense of desolation. At this moment, the mountain range trembled, the air trembled, the snowflakes stopped drifting down, and time seemed to have stopped.
On the stairway leading to the Driftsnow Inn, the silhouette of a handsome young man was trembling as he walked step by step towards the withered body of the beauty. Both his hands and legs were trembling, a look of terror could be seen on his handsome face, as though he was currently enduring an extreme agony.
Finally, he arrived at the side of the beauty. With a thud, both his legs couldn't stand stably as he fell to the ground. His hands trembled, wanting to stretch out his arms, yet he didn't dare to do so. The corners of his eyes were red as blood flowed out. Such pain, to him, was simply too cruel.
"Immortal Jade, why? Why are you so cruel?" The voice of the handsome young man trembled. As the sound of his voice faded, the snowflakes in the air shattered as the mountain range trembled.
"I said I wanted to refine a city, I would accompany you to traverse thousands of rivers and rivers, refining this city for you. I even wanted to bring you to roam the world, admiring the beautiful sceneries of the world. But why are you so stubborn, unwilling to roam the world with me?" As the young man spoke, blood flowed from the corners of his eyes, as though he was in extreme agony. "It was just a small dispute, why must you punish me like this?"
The Driftsnow Master stretched out his trembling hands, gently caressing the face of the beauty. But at this moment, at the instant the Driftsnow Master touched her, the body of the beauty actually transformed into a beam of white light, becoming illusory.
The countenance of the young man trembled as his body trembled even more violently. The beautiful eyes of the illusory beauty stared at the Driftsnow Master as a gentle smile appeared on her face. That smile seemed to contain all the love in her life. After which, her illusory body transformed into smoke, dissipating into the air.
The young man stretched his hands out, yet he had no way to grab hold of anything. His countenance turned even paler, without the slightest hint of blood.
"ARGHHHH!" The young man howled in agony, the snowflakes frenziedly crumbled, the space around him seemed to be on the verge of shattering.
"Using your body to refine a city? Do you really want to refine a city for the rest of your life? Why must you be so cruel to me?" The young man, the Driftsnow Master, howled in agony, enduring the boundless agony. His gaze stared ahead, there was a city that he and Immortal Jade had created.
The cold wind danced as the snowflakes drifted down once more. The hair of the Driftsnow Master turned white, he stood there alone, staring at the city. Over there, the woman he loved was buried.
The scene dissipated, gradually turning blurry. In the external world, Qin Wentian opened his eyes, feeling a sense of disappointment and frustration in his heart.
"Seems like the legends recorded in the ancient records are slightly different from the events that happened back then." Qin Wentian mumbled. Immortal Jade used her life to refine a city, it wasn't because she had a deep obsession with weaponsmithing. Rather, it was because her love for the Driftsnow Master was so deep that it was engraved into her bones. She hoped to spend the rest of her life in this city, and wasn't willing to follow the Driftsnow Master to roam the world.
The ideals of the two of them clashed, resulting in a conflict. Only then did Immortal Jade use her body to refine the city. The Driftsnow Master only cast a final glance at her before he vanished into thin air.
Within the Nine Immortality Bells, the scenes played out one by one. Within these ancient bells, the story of the Driftsnow Master and Immortal Jade was recorded.
"There's only one more bell left." Qin Wentian silently mused. He stood up and moved towards the direction of the final bell.
At the same time, the geniuses had already entered a state of concentration. Resplendent light flashed in the air, and the divine weapons of many experts were already taking shape. These weaponsmiths had already separated themselves from the embryonic form of the weapon. Low-level weaponsmiths could only use the embryonic form, but once they reached a certain level, they would have to separate themselves from the embryonic form.
"To refine a divine weapon, the Nine Immortality Bells have to manifest its spirit. One has to borrow the power of the runic inscriptions and infuse the spirit of the Nine Immortality Bells into the weapon." An expert in the air spoke, reminding the geniuses below that they shouldn't just immerse themselves in forging weapons. This time around, by forging divine weapons in front of the Nine Immortality Bells, they would be able to truly comprehend the secrets within. If not, if they simply wanted to forge divine weapons, why would they need to come here? Wouldn't it be better to do it in the sect?
Blazing flames soared up into the sky, as the resplendent flames burned even more intensely. Resplendent light illuminated this entire space, causing the spectators from afar to exclaim in admiration.
"Jiang Yan and Cheron are truly impressive. The divine weapons they forged should be close to the level of immortal-ranked divine weapons." The spectators commented as they stared at their forging.
"There are also experts from the Jiang Clan, Wondergate Immortal Manor, Battle Heavens Immortal Manor, Myriad Sage Academy and Nine-Peak Immortal Court. All of them are extremely powerful." The gazes of the crowd turned to the others. These people were all extraordinary in terms of weaponsmithing, extremely terrifying.
However, Qin Wentian didn't have the time to care about all these. At this moment, he came to the final Nine Immortality Bells and sat there quietly, as though he had entered a state of oblivion. He started to form a connection with the runic inscriptions within, trying to comprehend the marvelous law energy contained within.
The countless runic inscriptions, in the eyes of Qin Wentian, weren't independent existences. They were a complete entity.
The runic light shone resplendently as the runic inscriptions on the Nine Immortality Bells started to flow. It was as though the runic inscriptions on the ancient bells were wriggling as they flowed together with the runic inscriptions. Under the guidance of this law energy, Qin Wentian's will entered the final Nine Immortality Bells.
The Driftsnow Master was still sitting in the Driftsnow Inn. After a long time, he stared at the city before him as though he was in a daze, sinking into boundless guilt and pain.
"Since you are so stubborn, I shall accompany you until you grow old." The Driftsnow Master stared at the snowflakes that filled the sky as he spoke in a low voice. "I originally roamed the world, pursuing a supreme existence. Yet because of the punishment you gave me, I have to bury my bones here. A thousand years later, would there still be people who would know of me, the Driftsnow Master?"
After speaking, the Driftsnow Master's body abruptly expanded, transforming into a primordial giant that was tens of thousands of meters tall. It was as though even the ancient city before him wasn't much bigger than him.
"Immortal Jade, since you are willing to bury your bones here, I shall accompany you, using my body to refine this city." The Driftsnow Master spoke in a melancholic voice. He stretched out his hand, allowing the snowflakes in the air to land on his palm.
"ROAR!" With a howl of rage, the Driftsnow Master's body expanded once again, growing even larger, as though he was about to reach the heavens.
"Immortal Jade, why must you do this? Punish us?" The Driftsnow Master howled in rage. His body continued to expand explosively, reaching a height of 100,000 meters, his head truly towered over the heavens. Every drop of his tears flowed like rivers, merging into the air, transforming into mist, transforming into snowflakes, drifting down with the wind.
"I will use my body of flesh and blood to refine this city." The Driftsnow Master's body circulated with terrifying runic light, it was as though his body had transformed into a weapon. Divine light flashed, incomparably resplendent. His body expanded once again, and with a thunderous boom, he transformed into a rain of blood and flesh, falling down from the sky. Every drop of blood and flesh merged into the ancient city below, permeating into the earth. The runic light was still as bright as ever, illuminating the entire land.
"Go!" The Driftsnow Master took out the Nine Immortality Bells and tossed them into the nine directions. He then spoke, "This bell chime shall guard this city. When I think of you, the bell chimes will ring out."
As the sound of his voice faded, the soul of the Driftsnow Master wanted to drill into the Nine Immortality Bells. The entire city was trembling, runic light flashed as every corner of the city radiated boundless resplendent light!
