Yiqing continued to guard the three Dao Steles while Bei Li led Ning Fan to the Second Step of Mortal Severing.
While walking through the sea of clouds and mist, Bei Li asked Ning Fan some trivial questions about the Lower World from time to time, trying to find out more about him.
As the third lady of the Lost World Palace, she naturally wanted to recruit such a talented person.
However, Ning Fan was still indifferent when facing Bei Li's questions. He only answered with a few words and was not willing to talk about it. When Bei Li asked about the Lost World Palace in the Rain Immortal World, Ning Fan showed a blank expression, as if he did not know Bei Xiaoman at all.
Ning Fan's eyes were as calm as water and as deep as a pool. He did not look at Bei Li even though her beautiful face and elegant figure were enough to attract any man's attention.
Bei Li's eyes moved and she was secretly surprised.
From the beginning to the end, Ning Fan was not swayed by her beauty at all. It was enough to show that his determination was far beyond ordinary people.
Even though she was a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm expert, she could not see through him. It was enough to show how shrewd he was and how much he hid. This young man didn't hide his cultivation base. What he hid must be shocking …
"I didn't expect that there would be such a person in the Lower World … Young Master Ning came from the Rain Immortal World. He shouldn't be a nobody in this world … Why didn't Sister Xiaoman recruit him?"
Bei Li was puzzled. If Bei Xiaoman had recruited Ning Fan on behalf of the Lost World Palace, she should have already given him a 'quota'.
"Could it be that Young Master Ning was recruited by the 'demoness' of the Eastern Sea Heaven? Sister Xiaoman doesn't like cultivation. She cultivated the Gui Vein but it was difficult for her to 'slay the red dragon'. That was why she came to the Lower World on behalf of 'Sister Shi' and 'Sister Qing Han'. With Sister Xiaoman's Half-Step Divine Transformation Realm cultivation base, she is indeed not a match for that Void Fragmentation Realm demoness … However, it seems that Young Master Ning doesn't have a quota of the Godly Void Pavilion in his body … "
Bei Li was even more confused.
A person who could turn back on the Ten Steps Bridge was not chosen by any forces. Why was that?
Of course, Bei Li did not know that when the demoness met Ning Fan, he was just a Harmonious Spirit Realm cultivator. His Yin Yang Devil Vein did not show any shocking potential. At that time, Ning Fan only relied on calculating the formation eye of the Mortal Void Grand Formation to attract the demoness's attention, but that was all. At that time, Ning Fan had just started cultivating not long ago. It would be ridiculous if he was given the opportunity to ascend to the Nine Worlds.
What Bei Li did not know was that Bei Xiaoman would never recruit Ning Fan. She could not wait to tie him to a tree and whip him! She really did not want to recruit Ning Fan. Besides, she had already been 'counter-recruited' by Ning Fan … Her Yuan Yao Jade had been snatched away and Bei Xiaoman herself was already half a step into Ning Fan's harem. Her chastity was really worrying …
Ning Fan would not be stupid enough to tell Bei Li about all of these. It would only bring him trouble for nothing.
On the other side of the sea of clouds, a golden bell stood amidst the mist. It was as huge as the heavens and earth.
Looking at the bell from afar, Ning Fan felt a wave of immortal might sweeping towards him, preventing him from flying away. He could only walk towards the bell step by step as if he was on a pilgrimage.
"Young Master, take a look. This golden bell is the Bell of Reincarnation … It was also set up by the Immortal Emperor. It is said that before the Primordial Age, there would be a chance to 'listen to the Dao' every 129,600 years. The Immortals would ring the Bell of Reincarnation to wake up the Immortal Emperor. They would climb the Lotus Platform and wait for the Immortal Emperor's Primordial Spirit to descend and preach the Dao to the one billion worlds …"
"Another Immortal Sovereign …"
Ning Fan approached the golden bell step by step. His eyes were filled with astonishment again.
It was rare for him to be so moved.
He discovered that this gigantic bell that stood towering over the heavens and earth and controlled the cycle of reincarnation was too similar to the Eastern Ocean Bell …
However, there were also differences. Although they looked similar, if they were placed together, the Eastern Ocean Bell was too small. Moreover, it was just a Supreme Grade Magical Treasure, an Ancient Demon Sacrificial Artifact and a vessel that inherited the Heaven Sealing Technique.
As for the gigantic bell in front of him, it gave people a direct feeling that its weight had reached a shocking level. This gigantic bell was heavier than the entire Four Heavens Immortal World. No one could move it … That was why it was still in a deep slumber. No expert had taken it away.
After engraving the Demon Codex, Ning Fan had already memorized the Might Raising Technique of the Eastern Ocean Bell.
He discovered that when he used the Might Raising Technique, he could faintly sense a strange connection with this gigantic bell. He could even absorb a trace of immortal might to slowly increase his own aura.
"This bell was built by the Immortal Sovereign … The Eastern Ocean Bell is the inheritance of the Demon Ancestor … The Immortal Sovereign cultivated the purple qi while the Demon Ancestor cultivated the golden light. The two of them shouldn't be the same person. However, their bells are so similar. I'm afraid the two of them have a deep relationship with each other …"
The history before the Immemorial Era had long become empty. Ning Fan could only deduce some information based on the two golden bells.
The moment his eyes flickered, it was caught by Bei Li. A faint smile appeared on her cold face.
"Young Master, do you find this bell familiar? Have you heard of another golden bell that is similar to this one? "
"No …"
Ning Fan wouldn't tell her about the Eastern Ocean Bell.
"Young Master, you don't have to deny it. Isn't the Heaven Suppressing Treasure of the Eastern Ocean Heaven a golden bell? I suppose Young Master has heard a lot about it in the lower world … It's a relic left behind by the Eastern Ocean Ancestral Emperor. When you ring the gigantic bell, you won't get the sound of reincarnation. Instead, you will get the sound of killing.
"Heaven Suppressing Bell …" Ning Fan's expression didn't change but he remembered Bei Li's words.
Bei Li stopped three zhang * (3.33m per zhang) away from the bell. She could no longer get closer to the bell.
She pointed at the jade shelf beside her. On the shelf, there was a golden hammer that was three zhang * (3.33m per zhang) long.
"The Bell of Reincarnation has the might of an Immortal Sovereign. Other than those who have become immortals, even Void Fragmentation Realm experts can't get within three zhang * (3.33m per zhang) of the gigantic bell … Therefore, there is a golden hammer here. You can use the hammer to ring the bell and the sound of the bell to cleanse your heart of mortal thoughts. Then, you can complete the Second Step of Mortal Severing. Bei Li has already said before that an ordinary great cultivator who has broken through to the Divine Transformation Realm can only ring the Bell of Samsara three times at most. However, Bei Li has already rung the Bell of Samsara eleven times … Young Master, if you ring the bell less than eleven times, Bei Li will make fun of you … "
Bei Li's eyes flickered. Of course, she was just joking. She didn't mean any harm.
It was because she had a faint feeling that Ning Fan wouldn't just ring the bell 11 times.
Besides, she also didn't want Ning Fan to hold back. She wanted to see how deep this young man who had a cultivation base that was far lower than hers could hide.
"Young Master, please ring the Bell of Reincarnation!"
Bei Li cupped her fists and slowly retreated, leaving the stage to Ning Fan.
Ning Fan didn't ring the bell immediately. He just stared at the golden bell indifferently with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
"The Bell of Reincarnation … This bell has a power that I can't understand … I don't know the methods of the Immortal Sovereign. Is this the expert who stands at the top of all the True Immortals? My master isn't weak. Immortal Emperor Luan Gu isn't weak either. However, in front of the Immortal Sovereign, only Dao Kong is superior … How many times can I ring this bell …?"
With a flick of his sleeve, the golden hammer appeared in his hand!
The confusion in Ning Fan's eyes gradually faded away, turning into determination.
The Immortal Sovereign was Luan Gu's teacher!
Luan Gu could be considered as half of his teacher!
"Today, I didn't ring the bell to slay mortals! I just wanted to use this bell to remember the martyrs of the immemorial era! In the future, I want to stand at the peak of all the immortals! "
* Dong *
The golden hammer fell. The huge bell vibrated slightly, releasing a purple-golden sound wave that seemed to have substance.
That sound wave was like a halo. When the bell was rung, the halo expanded until it stretched to one thousand li * (500m per li).
When that halo approached him, Ning Fan's eyes turned cold. He realized that the sound of the purple-golden bell had improved his mental state by a level!
The profoundness of this bell made Ning Fan unable to understand it. That was why he admired the Immortal Sovereign's methods even more.
That admiration turned into a trace of fighting spirit. He made up his mind to walk the path of Luan Gu and the Immortal Sovereign, galloping across the heavens and earth!
"The second ring! The third ring! The fourth ring! "He said in a deep voice and swung the golden hammer!
* Dong * * Dong * * Dong *
The three rings of the bell seemed to have merged into one, turning into an even more dazzling purple-golden halo that extended to four thousand li * (500m per li)!
With every ring, the sound of the bell could travel further and further until the Immortal Sovereign in the past heard it!
However, one billion years had passed. The Immortal Sovereign in the past was no longer around. The Immortal Sovereign who listened to the Dao had also turned into dust, leaving behind only the inheritance of the Fiendgod …
Vicissitudes! A trace of vicissitudes rose in Ning Fan's heart. And within that trace of vicissitudes, there was the true meaning of reincarnation!
* Dong *
He rung the bell for the fifth time and it spread to five thousand li * (500m per li)!
It was done in one go!
Bei Li's beautiful eyes were moved. She had never heard of anyone who could ring the Bell of Reincarnation five times consecutively!
Her eyes looked at Ning Fan's back in disbelief!
Ning Fan's back gradually became more and more ancient. With every ring of the bell, his qi changed, as if he had become one with the sound of the bell!
Even though he was thin and weak, his back gave Bei Li a feeling that she could only look up to him.
It was as if the person standing in front of her was no longer Ning Fan but … the Immortal Sovereign!
Five rings were completed in one go but Ning Fan still did not stop!
Five consecutive rings was his limit. After pausing for a while, according to his estimation, it would not be difficult for him to ring the bell 11 times, barely ring the bell 14 times and ring the bell 19 times would be his limit …
Five rings of the bell would clear up his state of mind. He had increased his state of mind cultivation by at least five hundred years!
Ringing the Bell of Reincarnation was not only for severing mortals, but also for the remembrance of Ancient Chaos and the Immortal Sovereign. It was also an excellent method to improve his state of mind!
"Sovereign's Shadow, appear!"
A golden shadow slowly emerged behind Ning Fan. The moment this shadow appeared, Ning Fan's qi rose sharply. A trace of monarch's aura rose in his eyes. Then, he rang the bell for the sixth time!
* Dong *
This sound did not stop. Almost at the same time, another five rings of the bell sounded at the same time!
11 rings! In a single breath, Ning Fan rang the bell 11 times!
However, he did not ring the bell for the 12th time. At this moment, his state of mind had broken through to the Mid Spirit Severing Realm!
At this moment, he suddenly saw a trace of an ancient scene from the Bell of Reincarnation …
That scene was the reincarnation cycle, but it disappeared in a flash …
In that scene, he caught a glimpse of a woman. Her face was blurred, like a paper crane.
Before the woman disappeared, the purple star in Ning Fan's left eye flashed. He saw the woman's face clearly, but it was not a paper crane. It was Mu Weiliang!
She was sitting on a green rock, embroidering an embroidery in the herb garden of the Celestial Emperor.
In the embroidery, there was a pair of butterflies flying together …
Beside her, the shadow of a butterfly was dancing …
When the scene disappeared, Ning Fan's eyes narrowed.
"What is that scene?! It's obviously a paper crane, but why is it Weiliang in the end … "
…
In the sea of clouds, there were the Three Steps of Severing Mortals and the Heavenly Dao Tablet. This sea of clouds was a small chiliocosm created by the Tablet Wielding Immortal Emperor.
This world was connected to the Void World. In the Void World, on the Black Tortoise Planet, a bald and slightly chubby old man with white eyebrows was teaching the cultivators of the Black Tortoise Planet.
His eyes were slightly displeased because one of his most valued female disciples did not report to him when she received a message. Instead, she went straight to the Cloud Sea on her sword …
One should know that the main reason why he came out of seclusion today was to teach the female disciple how to break through the bottleneck of the Void Refinement Realm.
"Li Er, you are really going to piss me off … You have failed to live up to my expectations …"
Bei Li was not only the third young lady of the Lost World Palace but also the most valued disciple of the Tablet Wielding Immortal Emperor, Meng Xuanzi.
Meng Xuanzi's expression turned ugly. However, he heard a clear explanation from the guard of the Dao Tablet. He said that there was a Spirit Severing Realm cultivator in the lower world and he saw his luck. That was why he asked Bei Li to guide that cultivator's luck.
After hearing this news, Meng Xuanzi felt slightly better. If there was such a reason, it was reasonable for Bei Li to go to the Cloud Sea.
With a calm expression, he began to teach the cultivators again.
But at a certain moment, Meng Xuanzi's eyes widened with a hint of surprise.
"Second Step of Mortal Severing? Someone saw Samsara in front of the Bell of Samsara?! "
"No, no, it's just a coincidence. What this person saw should be the remnant image of Samsara …"
"But this person's qi seems a little familiar. Where have I seen it before …"
There was a hint of doubt in Meng Xuanzi's eyes.
He did not remember that there was once a Harmonious Spirit Realm cultivator in the lower world who accidentally entered the Void World … Meng Xuanzi was the one who saved him.
However, he still could not remember … It could not be helped. There were too many things to be done by an Immortal Emperor. Every time he taught the Dao, he would have to face millions of unfamiliar faces. It would be difficult for him to remember everyone.
"This old man should have seen this person before. He should have left a good impression on me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have remembered his qi … But, where have I seen it before?" Meng Xuanzi hesitated. (To be continued.)
