Chapter 1624 – The First Holy Covenant
Meanwhile.
Thousands of miles away from the exploration ship.
Bell – bell – bell!!!
The sound of a loud bell echoed between heaven and earth, and the red-haired girl clad in a white velvet tunic suddenly stopped in her tracks.
Chloe turned her head to look in the direction where the bell sound came from, a strong divine power fluctuation exploded from within her body, she looked down to the back of her hand, a mark identical to Lin Qiye’s chest was crazily devouring her power, emitting a faint shimmering light.
”The Eastern Emperor Bell rises, the [Holy Covenant] answers the time, karma is heavily reversed, and the realm of the dead is reborn.” Chloe muttered.
”After two thousand one hundred and forty one years, the first [Holy Covenant], has it finally activated?……”
This violent devouring power lasted for tens of seconds, and when the last ray of light flashed by, she stifled a grunt and violently sprayed out a mouthful of blood, her face pale.
The pillar of light that had risen in the distance finally gradually dispersed, and Chloe wiped away the blood at the corner of her mouth, a smirk appearing on her face:
”Our first holy covenant, has already been fulfilled, whether we can revert this karma depends on you …… Lin Qiye.”
Great Xia, National Fortune Sea Island.
Bell – bell – bell!
The sound of a bell from the distance resounded through the heavens and earth, and the figures in all parts of the sea island stopped their hands at the same time, looking suspiciously in the direction from which the sound came.
”Bell sound? What kind of bell sound is this?” Li Clang stood at the top of the cliff, looking out over the endless sea in the distance, murmuring in puzzlement.
Behind him, a woman in a lamb’s wool sweater slowly walked out.
”Is this the …… East Emperor Bell?” Wang Qing spoke with some uncertainty.
”The Eastern Emperor Clock? What is that thing?”
”It was a supreme artifact of the Heavenly Court ages ago.” Tang Yusheng stepped on the waves and flew to the side of the two of them, “However, the East Emperor Bell was lost more than two thousand years ago before it was …… not in the Heavenly Court today.”
”A supreme artifact that is not in the Heavenly Court? Then now, who is ringing it?” Li Clang’s expression grew more and more puzzled.
”…… don’t know.”
As the commander-in-chief of the Night’s Watch through the generations, the information that the few of them possessed was extremely large, but even so, they still couldn’t guess the identity of this mysterious bell ringer ……Listening to the sound of the bell, its main body was bound to be in the territory of Da Xia, but besides the Night’s Watch and the Heavenly Court in Da Xia, who else could unknowingly take control of the East Emperor’s Bell and ring it?
Just as the Commanders were pondering, deep within the underground of the sea island, above the rushing torrent of national fortune, a figure clad in tattered armor slowly raised its head.
”Marquis, the Eastern Emperor Bell has rung.” Gong Yang Wan stood at the edge of the National Flood and spoke softly.
”Hm, I heard it.”
A flash of remembrance surfaced in the eyes of Huo Zaiwei on the National Flood of Fortune.
He looked down, his scarred palm slowly opened, and a white chess piece was lying quietly in the center of his palm.
”He rang the Eastern Emperor Bell …… That means that the First [Holy Covenant] has been activated.”
”Yes.” Gong Yang Wan gently took off her hairpin, her waterfall-like black hair falling down her shoulders, she looked at the chess piece in the center of the hairpin that looked like white jade, complexity rose in her gaze, and
”The ancient oath has reappeared in the world, after thousands of years of layout, this game of man and god …… is time to usher in a ray of life.”
”Bells?”
In the mist, hundreds of miles away from the strait, An Qingyu suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He looked back in the direction of Daxia, his brows slightly furrowed, “Where did the sound of bells come from that can spread to every corner of the earth? Could it be that on the Great Xia side, there has been another change?”
An Qingyu pondered for a long time in the same place, but did not have any clue, when the three bells dissipated, the world once again returned to a dead silence, as if the sound of the bells just now was just an illusion.
An Qingyu shook his head and continued walking towards the strait.
Just then, his chest inexplicably ached, and his entire body coughed violently!
He covered his chest with one hand, only to feel that something was about to drill through his flesh and blood, and a sharp pain filled his mind!
An Qingyu frowned tightly as a scalpel slid down to his palm, he directly cut open the flesh and blood of his chest, probing his palm into his body as if he was searching for something.
A moment later, his palm slowly pulled out from his chest, and the broken flesh and blood quickly repaired itself.
An Qingyu looked at the blood drenched palm and spread it out a little, seeing the object in the center of his palm, the puzzled look in his eyes intensified.
It was a white chess piece that was dyed red with blood.
This thing, was it what Chloe had just punched into her body? This was her so-called gift?
In An Qingyu’s gray pupil, a faint aura flashed through, and he began to analyze the composition of this chess piece, but the chess piece, which was the size of a thumbnail cap, rapidly enlarged in his pupil, and even the texture of the surface molecules gradually became clearer.
”This is ……” An Qingyu’s pupils slightly contracted.
Without thinking, he directly crushed this chess piece, turning it into a fine powder that floated away in the sea.
He looked at the pieces of the chess piece that gradually dissipated into the sea, his eyes slightly narrowed, not knowing what he was pondering ……
After a long time, he turned around in silence and disappeared between the reflections of the strait.
Da Xia, Heavenly Court.
”It’s the East Emperor Bell!” When Jiang Ziya heard the sound of that bell, a flash of shock flashed across his eyes, “The Eastern Emperor Bell has appeared again?”
”The source of the bell’s sound is within the territory of the Grand Xia …… Since this is the case, why have we not realized it for so many years?”
”Now, who is it that is ringing the bell?!”
A few Golden Immortals looked at each other and simultaneously rushed up into the sky, seeking the direction from which the bell sounded and sped out!
Even though the Eastern Emperor Bell only rang three times, to the Great Xia Gods, just one sound was enough to locate its position, and several streams of light crossed the sky one after another, from different directions, approaching somewhere in Great Xia.
The chimes of the Eastern Emperor Bell gradually dissipated, and a continuous mountain range appeared in the sight of the gods.
”What is this place?”
”The Qilian Mountains.”
”Qilian Mountain …… This place, what is so special about it?”
”Not really, we’ve never sensed any divine aura here, and even humans rarely set foot here.”
Several Golden Immortals discussing the time, they have sought the sound of the bell, found the source of the sound, that is a certain peak of the Qilian Mountain, snow-capped, an ancient magnificent bronze bell, is slowly stopping between the wind and snow.
That, was the Heavenly Court’s supreme artifact that was lost thousands of years ago, the Eastern Emperor Bell.
”There’s no mistaking that it’s it.” Tai Yi Zhen Zhen spoke, “But the aura here is all obscured by some sort of existence, if it hadn’t taken the initiative to show itself, we might not have been able to detect it even if we were this close.”
The crowd of Golden Immortals flew down in front of the Eastern Emperor Clock, and just then, a figure slowly walked out from the back of the Eastern Emperor Clock ……
