Chapter 1724 The Rise of the Eastern Emperor’s Bell
Clang—!
Clang—!!
Clang—!!!
The resounding bell echoed from the Qilian Mountains, instantly sweeping across the boundless earth, reverberating throughout the entire planet!
The Donghuang Bell tolls!
“It’s the Donghuang Bell!”
“The Donghuang Bell has appeared in the world again?”
“The bell sound originates from within Da Xia’s borders… If that’s the case, why haven’t we detected it all these years?”
“And now, who is ringing the bell?!”
Several divine shadows darted out from the Celestial Court, swiftly crossing the sky, following the bell sound. Ranges of mountains rapidly expanded in their vision.
“What place is this?”
“The Qilian Mountains.”
“Qilian Mountains… What’s special about this place?”
“Nothing. We’ve never sensed any divine power here, and even humans rarely set foot in this area.”
As the Golden Immortals discussed, their gaze instantly locked onto the peak where the Donghuang Bell was located. Above the pristine white snow, an ancient and mysterious giant bell was already suspended in mid-air!
At the same time, amidst the swirling snow, a figure wearing a mud-stained kasaya slowly emerged from behind the bell.
“Who are you? Why do you have the Donghuang Bell?!”
“Wait… that face…”
“Lin Qiye?”
“How are you here?”
“No… you’re not Lin Qiye. Who exactly are you?”
The Golden Immortals had seen Lin Qiye before. Although the monk before them looked identical to him, his aura was completely different.
The Destiny Monk pressed his palms together in prayer, showing no intention of responding to them. Instead, he slowly extended his hand, pointing to the sky above, “Rather than me… you should be more concerned about what’s up there.”
The Golden Immortals all turned to look, and saw a burning moon shadow clearly visible in the firmament!
“Not good! It’s the Moon Seal!”
Taiyi Zhenren’s expression changed drastically. Without time to think further, he immediately transformed into a streak of light shooting toward space, with the other Golden Immortals following closely behind!
As the many Golden Immortals departed, the Destiny Monk slowly closed his eyes.
“The game… has begun.”
…
In the fog, at sea.
An exploration ship was continuously advancing through the churning waters, with sounds of vomiting and groaning coming from aboard.
Clang—Clang—Clang!!
The deep bell sound echoed through the clouds. Almost simultaneously, the brilliant light of [Holy Covenant] lit up at the bow, enveloping the figures of Lin Qiye and Wu Quan.
Shen Qingzhu’s expression changed as powerful divine energy surged forth. But before he could find the enemy, the soaring white light gradually dissipated, leaving nothing in the silent fog.
“Lin Qiye?! Wu Quan!!”
Upon discovering the two had disappeared, Shen Qingzhu quickly spread six massive gray wings from his back. The gale rose, lifting him into the air to search carefully.
What was that white light?!
The moment the white light appeared, Shen Qingzhu sensed an unprecedented space-time fluctuation… He guessed that Lin Qiye and the others were likely no longer here, but even so, whoever activated that white light must be nearby, right?
After flying around in the air, Shen Qingzhu still found no clues, his expression extremely grim.
Just then, as if sensing something, he abruptly looked up toward the sky.
The gray fog shrouded the sky, making it difficult to see clearly, but a burning cyan glow still appeared in Shen Qingzhu’s eyes…
The moment he clearly saw that burning cyan pattern, his pupils suddenly contracted!
“Qiye?!”
Shen Qingzhu certainly recognized this pattern unique to [Nightfall]. At Takamagahara, they had gathered because of this and annihilated the entire [Pure Land] in one stroke.
Could Lin Qiye and Wu Quan have been directly teleported to the moon by that white light?
The moment this thought surfaced in Shen Qingzhu’s mind, he turned to the exploration ship below and said:
“The exploration ship has recorded Da Xia’s position. You go there first, I have something to attend to!”
Under the bewildered gaze of the knights, Shen Qingzhu vigorously flapped his wings, transforming into a streak of light rapidly disappearing into the sky above.
…
“Bell sound?”
In the fog, An Qingyu frowned, looking puzzled toward the direction of the Donghuang Bell sound.
Suddenly, a sharp pain came from his chest. He reached in and pulled out a white chess piece, examined it carefully for a moment, then his expression changed drastically. He crushed it into powder, scattering it into the sea.
He gazed at the thread of causality gradually dissipating into nothingness, his expression extremely gloomy, lost in thought.
“Hmm?”
A faint cyan light ignited in the sky, attracting An Qingyu’s attention.
“That is…” he narrowed his eyes, the burning giant shadow on the moon’s surface clearly reflected in his gray eyes. His pupils contracted slightly. “The moon… why is it there?”
Thud—!
A muffled knocking sound came from behind him. In the void, the shadow of a doorway was quickly outlined.
An Qingyu frowned deeply and turned to look. Under the illumination of the burning cyan moon, knocking sounds continuously emanated from within the Door of Truth, as if some terrifying entity wanted to break through.
“Go back!” An Qingyu growled.
In the hazy fog, the shadow of the doorway gradually dissipated without a trace…
An Qingyu raised his head, taking a deep look at the cyan pattern. After hesitating for a moment, he silently put on his hood and disappeared into the fog without a sound.
…
In the dead silence of darkness, a Celestial Court traversed the void, speeding toward the burning moon!
“Is it Left Blue?”
On the highest palace of the Celestial Court, Lingbao Tianzun gazed at the burning cyan pattern, his expression extremely solemn. “The moon… something major is about to happen.”
“Where is Michael? Why is there no movement at all?”
“I don’t know, but this poor Daoist guesses… He might have met with misfortune.” Yuanshi Tianzun sighed deeply.
“In this world, only [Chaos] could kill Michael… but how did It perfectly conceal Its aura, completely preventing us from detecting It?” Daode Tianzun’s face was full of confusion.
The three Tianzuns simultaneously fell into contemplation.
“Tianzun!” A streak of light hurriedly rushed over from the distance.
“What is it?”
Lingbao Tianzun turned to look. It was the Goddess of the Future, Skadi, whom they had brought back from Asgard.
“She’s awake!” Skadi exclaimed excitedly, “That sister is awake!!”
Lingbao Tianzun was stunned at first, then his pupils suddenly contracted as he turned sharply to look at a certain place in the Celestial Court!
Celestial Court, Spirit Spring.
A deep blue figure slowly rose from the clear spring water.
She was barefoot as she stepped out of the spring. Fine water droplets fell from her hair like a black waterfall, and with every movement, she emanated a faint aura of divine power…
“Where is this?” Her voice was full of confusion.
A moment later, as if sensing something, she raised her head to look at the cyan pattern gradually approaching in deep space.
Her eyes quickly lit up as she murmured:
“The Donghuang Bell has rung… Qiye, will you come?”
