Ancient Godly Monarch - Chapter 779

Chapter 779

This towering figure was undoubtedly the Driftsnow Master .

His body was over 30,000 meters in size and was a character of the legends . One could only speculate at how terrifying his cultivation base was .

Before this, Qin Wentian had already heard Pei Yu talking about the legends of the Driftsnow Master . Although he believed that one’s love could reached such a depth in this world, and he also believe in the obsession of Immortal Jade . Still he harbored some doubts when he learned about the Driftsnow Master using his flesh and blood to construct the city and infusing his soul into the Nine Bells of Immortality . However right now in a scene within the Nine Immortality Bells, all his doubts were dispelled when he saw the towering figure of the Driftsnow Master . The cultivation base of the Driftsnow Master might be exceedingly high, above the immortal-foundation level . It was only normal if an expert on the level of the Driftsnow Master would be able to do things that one felt it was impossible .

Qin Wentian’s eyes slowly opened in reality . His gaze was still staring at the Nine Immortality Bell ahead in a daze . Resplendent runic lights radiated from the bell, and there should be a certain kind of law energy within that could activate the bell and probe the secret within . But regardless of the types of law energy, something still felt missing .

"Tianwen . " At this moment Cheron walked up . He stared at Qin Wentian as he asked, "What have you seen this time around?"

Qin Wentian looked at Cheron, shaking his head while he replied, "The scene only got clearer . I saw a towering man, the Driftsnow Master sitting there silently as though waiting for death . That should be the scene after Immortal Jade had passed on . The Driftsnow Master was in a daze, deep in contemplation . Although the obsession of Immortal Jade towards weaponsmithing surpassed the depth of her love for him, the Driftsnow Master was a man of utmost passion .

Based on the Driftsnow Master’s strength and looks, if he wanted women, it was unknown how many women would be willing to deliver themselves into his embrace . Yet, he chose to sacrifice his life to accomplish Immortal Jade’s dream .

"The Driftsnow Master . . . How I wish I could seen him personally . " Pei Yu murmured, somewhat envying Qin Wentian . This fellow had seen the Driftsnow Master, a character of the legends . She couldn’t help but wonder what he looked like .

"The Driftsnow Master is a character of legends, I naturally hope that the people in the Driftsnow City would be able to personally witness his magnificence . " Qin Wentian spoke . If the Driftsnow Master appeared now, it would undoubtedly cause the name of the Driftsnow City to resound through the Cloud Prefecture, making it even more popular than the largest main city of the Jiangling Country - the King City .

Currently, an extreme amount of experts had already gathered and were all respectively attempting to communicate with the bell . Although there were many who managed to form a faint sense of connection, none has caused the bells to chime as loudly as did Qin Wentian . As to whether there are any who witnessed the scene within the ancient bells, nobody knew anything regarding that .

And at this moment, several beams of immortal light flashed through the skies, causing many to turn their heads upwards, as awe appeared on their faces .

"They are immortal-foundation experts, all of them are immortals! Seems like the immortal-foundation experts of the various major powers have finally arrived . " The crowd silently speculated . Before this, the number of experts who came were only a portion . Now, the characters of the major powers should have all arrived .

"Spread the King’s order . Three days later, the location of the ancient bells shall be forbidden for casual access . Only people from the major powers will be able to remain . For those who could not form a connection, no one is to remain behind, they can only continue spectating outside the set boundaries . " At this moment, a booming voice echoed through the region .

"Are the geniuses and chosen from the various powers about to start their weapon forging process?" Pei Yu mumbled . Qin Wentian stared at her and ask, "Why must they forge a weapon in front of the bell?"

"This has something to do with the legends circulated . The soul of the Driftsnow Master is infused into the bells . Maybe, it was because of his and Immortal Jade’s obsession with regards to weapon forging . Hence, when the weapon spirit manifests, if one could connect with the bells, they might be able to obtain a strand of immortality spirit . Using that, they could form a better connection with the bell to better unravel the secret with . From the past, generations of weaponsmiths have acquired powerful weapon forging techniques and arts before from the Nine Immortality Bells . "

Pei Yu slowly explained, "As the saying goes ‘the Nine Immortality Bells don’t question the immortals . And for mortals, once they achieve a connection with all nine bells through weapon forging, they would have an opportunity to ascend to immortality with a single step . ’ This rumor has been around for ages, but has never been unravelled by anyone before . "

"Ascending to immortality with a single step?" Qin Wentian shook his head . Cultivation was something that you built upon step by step, a canal would be formed only when enough droplets of water were collected . When one’s cultivation base was sufficient, they would naturally be able to breakthrough . But before that, it was impossible . This was a rule set by heavens and earth, an unbreakable rule .

Hence, Qin Wentian didn’t believe in that rumor .

However, since this rumor started somehow, there would surely not be smoke without fire . There might be a hidden meaning in it, just that nobody knew yet and hence it was misunderstood by the masses .

"There are three more days . In that case, I shall go and connect with the next Immortality Bell . " After speaking, Qin Wentian stood and left together with Cheron and Mu Yan . These few days, they had been by Qin Wentian’s side . Firstly, it was to prevent others from making a move to act against Qin Wentian while secondly, they wanted to see how far Qin Wentian can travel, whether he would be able to connect with all nine of the ancient bells .

If the secret within the Nine Immortality Bells could be unravelled, the identity of the unraveller would be none other than Qin Wentian .

As time flowed, more and more people from the major powers arrived . Immortals could be seen everywhere and the corona of immortal light surrounding them was incomparably dazzling .

The time span of three days seemed to pass by very swiftly .

In the center of the Nine Immortality Bell was a vast public square . The Jiangling King, his subordinates and a regiment of immortal foundation experts stood over there . Each exuding a terrifying might which caused people in the surroundings to feel a sense of suppression .

"Everyone, the Nine Immortality Bell’s spirit manifesting is clearer this time than ever before . We would have to depend on the efforts of all geniuses here today to see if we have a chance of unravelling the secret within the bells . " Pei Tianyuan stood in the air, his sonorous voice echoing through all eight directions .

"For those who have no business being here, you can retreat and stand at the boundaries set up if you wish to spectate . " Pei Tianyuan continued . After that, many people reluctantly departed the area .

At the same time, for each location of the immortality bells, elites from peak-tier major powers could be seen . For the immortal-foundation experts, they stood in the air space above the central region of the Driftsnow City . With their sharp senses, they could stand anywhere in the Driftsnow City and still would be able to see the events transpiring clearly .

Right now, Qin Wentian was already in front of the eighth Immortality Bell . He lifted his head and stared at the sky as sharpness flashed within his eyes . He could sense a gaze of coldness shooting back at him, emanating an intense killing intent .

This person was none other than Zurius of the Battle Heavens Immortal Manor . Earlier, he left with a strong reluctance and today, he returned with many more experts from his sect and appeared even more extraordinary than ever .

Beside Zurius, there was a man who similarly stared in the direction of Qin Wentian . He then asked, "This man is able to borrow power from the runic inscriptions and defeat the whole lot of you in combat?"

Zurius’ brows twitched . Feeling some unhappiness in his heart, he coldly replied, "That’s him alright . His attainments in divine inscriptions are exceedingly high, and his combat prowess is inconceivable when he borrows the power of the runic inscriptions .

"Okay, in that case let’s head over to the ancient bell where he’s at . " The person spoke, his words causing Zurius to stiffen as he shook his head . "If we go there, the opportunity for us will be even more minute . It isn’t suitable . "

"If you don’t go, I’ll go . " That person continued and moved towards the ancient bell where Qin Wentian was at . The other experts from the Battle Heavens Immortal Manor stared at Zurius and an elder among them asked, "Zurius what’s going on? Why do I feel your personality seems to have toned down a notch and you are much more cautious than before . You even feel trepidation in your heart when going up against a third-level ascendant?"

"Uncle-master just continue watching, that man would surely cause a commotion . It’s better to have him in our sights . If he is truly the one that can unravel the bell’s secret, we better be the first sect that has him in our control . " Zurius warned but many from his sect didn’t feel that this was important .

In the end, Zurius could only head on alone, moving towards another ancient bell .

Not only for Zurius, the other participants in the hunt for Qin Wentian before this, all returned with experts from their sects .

"Nion, I heard that there’s someone who injured you previously . Who is he? Shall we kill him for you?" In the direction of the Seven Sword Sect, the experts from there were similarly as numerous as the clouds . The person who spoke to Nion was an immortal-foundation ranked expert .

"No need, I can handle my own matters . Even if he is to die, I shall kill him with my own hands . " Nion rejected, her gaze turned to Qin Wentian as a cold killing intent flickered within .

She naturally could ask for the aid from experts of her sect . But, if she did so, word would spread that she even needed help from her sect merely to kill a third-level ascendant . In the future within the sect, everyone would despise her existence and speak of her like a joke . So, to avoid that, even if she couldn’t kill Qin Wentian with her own power, she would never request experts from her sect to help her with that .

The experts from the Wondergate Immortal Manor also arrived . They stood in the air, and several among them had their gazes on Cheron as they asked, "Cheron, are you ready?"

"Mhm, I shall do my best . " Cheron replied while staring at the members of his sect .

"Great, we are anticipating your success at unravelling the secret within the immortality bells . This time around, although your master didn’t come with us, he is still extremely concerned about you . Work hard, don’t cause him disappointment . " That person stated . Although the more powerful experts of the various major powers arrived, it was impossible for too powerful characters to spare the time to come . After all, the Nine Immortality Bells had been here since ages past, and the secrets contained within wouldn’t be too great as to attract those truly powerful existences .

But even so, the strength of the experts gathered here was now enough to startle people . Just a single glance would be able to see numerous immortal-ranked experts in the air .

At the same time, in front of each Nine Immortality Bell, heaven chosen and geniuses of each power were already gathered there . They steadied their minds and spirits, all preparing to forge a weapon in front of the Nine Immortality Bells, hoping to use the weaponsmithing process as a method to connect to them, to unravel the secret within .

For the Nine Immortality Bell which Qin Wentian was in front of, there were similarly many experts . They stood in the air, preparing to forge a weapon . Only Qin Wentian remained in the same position where he was, not bothering with what the others were doing, as though he was just an on-looker .

"Everyone, the time starts now . " From the air, the voice of the Jiangling King echoed out . He stood high up and cast his gaze onto the experts below . There were roughly ten million geniuses gathered in the airspace above the ancient bells but despite so, Pei Tianyuan didn’t have too much hope . After all, it has been so many years yet the secret has never been unravelled . Although these people came here with their lofty ambitions and wills, they were ultimately destined to return disappointed . He had seen too many of such cases . . .

From afar, spectators watched on, their gazes all focused on the various geniuses of the major powers . This time around, would there be someone capable of creating history, solving the riddle behind the ancient bells which has been a mystery since ages past!
