"The Driftsnow Master used his body to refine the city." Qin Wentian's heart trembled, he personally witnessed how the Driftsnow Master Refine City was destroyed. That 100,000 meter tall body of the Driftsnow Master was akin to an ancient fiendgod. His entire body shone with resplendent light, as though his body was a divine weapon forged from the heavens. However, the Driftsnow Master Refine City had actually destroyed his entire body, fusing it into the city.
At this instant, the entire city was illuminated by runic light, as though it was undergoing the refinement of the Driftsnow Master. This entire city was about to become a creature of flesh and blood.
The Nine Immortality Bells were the spirits of this city because the Driftsnow Master's soul had been infused into them.
The Nine Immortality Bells would often manifest its spirit, and every time it did so, it meant that the Driftsnow Master was thinking of Immortal Jade.
The Driftsnow Master was willing to give up his life for Immortal Jade. From this, one could very well imagine how deep his love for her was. Immortal Jade was the same as well. She wasn't willing to follow the Driftsnow Master to roam the world, and only wished to spend the rest of her life in Smelting City, accompanying the Driftsnow Master. It couldn't be said that she didn't love the Driftsnow Master. It was just that their methods of love were different, and their ideals were different.
This kind of divergence actually resulted in a tragedy, one couldn't help but to sigh.
They were both lovers, yet they chose to walk the path of sorrow. A single wrong thought could cause them to be unable to spend the rest of their lives together. Sometimes, a slight difference in ideals could result in such terrifying consequences. It could be sung, it could be moved to tears, yet it was also lamentable.
"The world is boundlessly vast, yet I'm not fated to walk down this path. I, the Driftsnow Master, have pursued this path my entire life, yet I'm bound by love. I'll spend the rest of my life here, accompanying Immortal Jade in this city that we used our lives to refine." The voice of the Driftsnow Master reverberated through the air, it was unknown who he was speaking to.
"After my death, this city would surely be coveted by others. In order to prevent those who are too powerful from coming here, I shall use the chimes of the bells as a guide, allowing the Nine Immortality Bells to lead the way." The voice of the Driftsnow Master drifted through the air, filled with helplessness. "The Nine Immortality Bells don't question immortals. If one day, there's someone who can connect to immortality through weapon forging, he would be able to obtain this city. At that time, you can be considered half a disciple of mine, help me protect this city from destruction."
As this voice rang out, the ancient city below began to shine even brighter. It was as if it was an incomparably large treasure.
"Dong …" The sound of a bell suddenly rang out, reverberating in the empty ancient city for a long time.
When the bell chimes rang out, it was the moment when the Driftsnow Master missed Immortal Jade. He had just sacrificed his life to refine the city, but he already started to miss Immortal Jade. He would accompany Immortal Jade by her side, protecting this city. The two of them sacrificed their lives to refine this city.
"BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!" The nine bells rang out one after another, as though there was no end to it. It was so loud that it could shatter the souls of those who heard it. But when Qin Wentian heard the never-ending chimes, he only felt an ache in his heart, as though the emotions in his heart were stirred up.
Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump …
The bell chimes seemed to never be extinguished. The longing of the Driftsnow Master was boundless.
Boom!
In the external world, the chime of a bell suddenly rang out, startling Qin Wentian awake. He opened his eyes and sat there as he sighed in sorrow.
"The bell chimes are ringing." Qin Wentian mumbled. He inclined his head only to see the nine bells resonating at this moment. Beams of resplendent light flashed as they linked together, causing boundless runic light to circulate as the nine bells merged into one.
The weaponsmiths' eyes gleamed with sharpness as their spirits soared. They frenziedly drew the energy from the Nine Immortality Bells to refine their divine weapons. The divine weapons they forged all began to glow with resplendent light, and there were even terrifying beams of light shooting up into the air.
However at this moment, Qin Wentian wasn't in the mood to admire it. He only casually glanced at the weaponsmiths in the air, his countenance calm.
So it turned out that the Driftsnow Master had long predicted that there would be experts spying on him after his death. Hence, there was a rumor that the Nine Immortality Bells didn't question immortals. At the same time, he allowed those true geniuses of the younger generations to gain some insights from this place. And because of this, those stronger existences would treat this place as a tempering ground and wouldn't forcefully destroy it.
Naturally, this city itself should have an extremely powerful defense. If one wasn't a supreme expert, they wouldn't be able to shake it at all. In the past, it must have experienced the baptism of wind and rain.
The Driftsnow City today was evidently no longer the city created by the Driftsnow Master and Immortal Jade. Right now, there was no one in the Driftsnow City who could unravel the secrets of this ancient city. In fact, no one in the entire Jiangling Country would be able to do so.
As for those immortal kings and immortal emperors, they most probably had no time to investigate this so-called legend.
For those who could forge weapons to connect with immortality, they could obtain this city and become half a disciple of the Driftsnow Master. Ultimately, one still had to rely on weapon forging. Most probably, the Driftsnow Master was choosing a successor for this city. This successor would be half a disciple and would naturally do his best to protect this city.
"Forging weapons?"
Qin Wentian mumbled in a low voice. His gaze gradually focused, staring at the geniuses in the air who were forging their weapons. At this moment, a terrifying beam of light flashed as a fearsome flame appeared in the air. That flame was actually a fiery red long spear. The tip of the long spear was blazing red in color, exuding a fearsome destructive might. It was as though a single strike from the spear would be able to penetrate through people and kill them.
"Middle-grade fifth-ranked divine weapon, I've forged a mid-grade fifth-ranked divine weapon." The person who created the fiery long spear was a weaponsmithing genius from the Purple Flame Sect. At this moment, his eyes flickered with excitement, as though he was extremely satisfied with the spear he created.
He would often forge divine weapons in the Purple Flame Sect, but ever since he started forging, this divine weapon was the one he was most proud of. It was forged by borrowing the energy from the runic inscriptions of the Nine Immortality Bells.
The Nine Immortality Bells truly contained boundless mysteries. And earlier, he actually received a hint of guidance from the ancient bells, causing him to be extremely excited.
He knew that today, there were countless geniuses gathered here. Although he came here to temper himself, it was impossible for him to unravel the secret within the Nine Immortality Bells. Being able to obtain some benefits was already enough for him to be overjoyed, he didn't dare to ask for too much.
"This person's cultivation base isn't high, yet he was able to forge a mid-grade fifth-ranked divine weapon. Not bad. Most probably, those powerful characters would be able to forge even higher ranked divine weapons." In the air, the Jiangling King, Pei Tianyuan, spoke. Ji Kong, who was beside him, nodded his head, "Those from the Jiang Clan and the Wondergate Immortal Manor would definitely be there. There are also a few other geniuses who are extremely powerful, and the divine weapons they forged are already starting to take shape. Most probably, they would all be top-tier fifth-ranked divine weapons."
"The weaponsmithing proficiency of these people is already extremely high. Now that they're in front of the Nine Immortality Bells, they can borrow the might of the Nine Immortality Bells to forge even stronger divine weapons. Sadly, although the distance between immortal and mortal is only a single step, it's extremely difficult to cross it." Pei Tianyuan sighed. If one could forge immortal-ranked weapons, wouldn't it be the same as ascending to immortality in a single step?
"That might not be the case. Right now, the Nine Immortality Bells seem to have been stimulated, resonating with each other. The runic light from the bells grew even stronger, and the amount of power one could borrow from them would also increase. This is a stroke of good fortune, there's a high possibility that the secret of the Nine Immortality Bells would be unraveled."
In the air, the immortals all stared at the geniuses below as their countenances gleamed with sharpness.
Those from the Jiang Clan were paying attention to their disciples, while those from the Wondergate Immortal Manor were paying attention to those from the Wondergate Immortal Manor.
"Another divine weapon has been forged. It's a battle axe forged by a weaponsmith from the Battle Heavens Immortal Manor. Although this weaponsmith's age is on the older side, he can be considered extremely powerful, being able to forge a top-tier fifth-ranked divine weapon. The battle intent of this battle axe towered up the heavens, exuding boundless might. Most probably, a single chop from this axe would be able to easily slay anyone below the seventh-level of Celestial Phenomenon."
"Not bad." Zurius from the Battle Heavens Immortal Manor glanced at the old man who forged the divine weapon as he praised. He himself wasn't a weaponsmith, it was just that he had an extremely high combat talent. He didn't forge a weapon and was only trying to gain insights from the Nine Immortality Bells. Sadly, he wasn't able to comprehend much.
"Jiang Yan."
The gazes of the experts from the Jiang Clan all focused on Jiang Yan. At this moment, Jiang Yan was forging a pagoda.
Treasured pagodas were one of the most difficult divine weapons to forge. The forging method was exceedingly complex and the failure rate was simply too high. The requirements for the weaponsmith were extremely harsh, their control had to be extremely precise, and the slightest mistake would result in failure.
But this time around, Jiang Yan was actually forging a treasured pagoda. Not only that, the pagoda was already starting to take shape, shining with resplendent light as golden flames revolved around it. There was also a layer of frost qi permeating the air, containing a terrifying destructive might within.
"Jiang Yan wants to break through his limits, communicating with the Nine Immortality Bells and forging a pagoda to see if he can gain the recognition of the Nine Immortality Bells." An elder from the Jiang Clan spoke. This time around, Jiang Yan had caused him to have a whole new level of respect for him. He wanted to personally witness Jiang Yan breaking through his limits and forging a powerful divine weapon.
"Bzzz …" The Nine Immortality Bells resonated with the pagoda as streams of runic light flowed into it. A moment later, the light from the pagoda grew even more resplendent as it trembled unceasingly. Jiang Yan occasionally blasted out ancient imprints, causing the pagoda to revolve unceasingly. Finally, the runic light in the air flowed together, causing a beam of light to shoot up into the clouds as a terrifying aura erupted forth from within.
"Success!" Jiang Yan roared. The pagoda soared through the air, radiating a terrifying might as the Nine Immortality Bells chimed, as though acknowledging the existence of the pagoda.
"Top-grade." Jiang Yan's eyes gleamed with a terrifying sharpness. This pagoda was a peak-grade fifth-ranked divine weapon, and this was the strongest he could unleash. The Nine Immortality Bells truly lived up to their name. Sadly, even so, the secrets of the Nine Immortality Bells weren't revealed to him. How hateful.
Jiang Yan's gaze abruptly turned over, staring in the direction of the Nine Immortality Bells where Cheron was at. Upon seeing Cheron concentrating on the forging process, his eyes flickered with coldness.
After which, Jiang Yan's silhouette flickered as he soared through the air. An instant later, he appeared before Cheron as he spoke, "Cheron, the divine weapon you forged is inferior to mine. Just a mere long spear, how can it surpass the pagoda I forged? Why don't you just give up?"
Cheron furrowed his brows, glancing at Jiang Yan while controlling himself not to be distracted.
"Jiang Yan." In the air, an elder from the Wondergate Immortal Manor coldly called out. Jiang Yan inclined his head as he coldly laughed, "Before this, your disciple Cheron was extremely arrogant in front of me. Now, I'm merely returning the favor. Don't worry, I won't stop him, I'll allow him to continue forging."
After speaking, Jiang Yan's gaze turned to Qin Wentian in another direction. His eyes flashed with killing intent as he rushed out with the pagoda.
