C120 Nine Echoes and Nine Lanterns
Meng Xuan stood there without moving. His eyes were ice-cold as he looked at the girls who had turned into smoke and stuck close to his body. A wisp of smoke turned into Su Qian's appearance. He was only wearing a thin veil, and his beautiful body was faintly discernible as it stuck to his chest. Her eyes were filled with love and happiness.
"Scram." Meng Xuan shouted. It was an old demon that had lived for an unknown amount of time. If they were so easily shaken, it would be impossible for them to all transform into Immortal Kings.
Those illusions were completely unable to shake his Dao heart and under his cold shout, they all exploded. After which, he punched out a few more times. As the dragon drum reverberated in the air, it produced a sixth sound.
The sound of the drum was like thunder as it transmitted to the outside world and resonated through the skies of the entire Underworld's 16 prefectures. The sound of the drum seemed boundless and ancient, as if it had traveled through the ages to materialize in this world.
"Six chimes! It's not far from Huangfu Zhi back then. " The Great Elder revealed a shocked expression, "I just don't know who did it."
"This person must be someone from the 16 prefectures of the Nether Realm. When you enter the original world later, all of you have to see who it is that is most likely!" Jiang Yifan said with a trembling body. The Conch Divine Nest was truly too important. Back then, Huangfu Zhi only entered for ten breaths of time before bringing out many supreme treasures.
Ye Chanji was a tall, golden-haired middle-aged man. Appreciation gradually appeared in his eyes. The Three Revolution Palace must be a great opportunity for someone with great perseverance to challenge it. Most of them did not even have the chance to sense the presence of the Three Ji Hall. Over the past eight hundred years, there had been many people who had entered the Hall of Three Machines, but only two of them had managed to do so.
One was Huangfu Zhi from eight hundred years ago, the other was Meng Xuan from today!
In one of the ten great sects of the Immortal Dao, the Ancient Sect of Mighty Heaven, Huangfu Zhi suddenly opened his eyes. When he heard the sound of the dragon drum, his eyes were filled with the vicissitudes of life. Occasionally, one could see the illusory and destructive realm of the stars in his eyes.
He mumbled to himself, and then a smile appeared on his face, "The dragon drum..." I am not alone in my path. "
One of the top ten sects of the Immortal Dao, the Ancient Cult of Heaven Splitting Faction. Yao Qingcheng stood up and stared fixedly in the direction of the Three Machine Hall. "This person is definitely capable of becoming a seeded contestant of one of the top ten sects of the Immortal Dao. Eight hundred years from now, it will be the next Huangfu Zhi! "
The High Priestess of the Hades Ancient Sect opened her eyes and looked in the direction of the empty city, "If you find this person, kill him without mercy. Do not let the Cracking Sky Ancient Sect or Ancient Sky Sect obtain this person."
The sound of the drum shook the world.
At this moment, Meng Xuan punched out the seventh time, and an illusion appeared in front of him. He was in a sea of flames and sabers, and even the pain was real. He felt as though his soul was about to shatter. However, he did not stop there. He punched out another eight times, then a ninth time!
In an instant, the gold-plated lamp was lit!
A huge bronze lamp floated up to the clouds like a mountain. The light was too bright, illuminating the empty city. There was no place for darkness to hide. As everyone bathed in the sunlight, they felt their bodies warming up.
Meng Xuan placed his hand on the surface of the drum, channeling the power of his fleshly body into the dragon drum and into the gold-plated lamp.
The second light once again floated into the sky like a sun. Everyone felt that it was too dazzling. Some cultivators with lower cultivations even started crying.
Next was a third lamp, and then a fourth!
Next was the fifth light!
An aura from the Vast Expanse filled the skies and covered the earth, pressing down on everyone. This was the aura of the dragon drum and the gold-plated lamp!
Both Bei Hong Ji and Meng Tian's eyes were filled with excitement. Such talent was truly rare. Even Huangfu Zhi from back then was far inferior to him!
Meng Xuan's eyes were closed as his muscles trembled. Waves after waves of unparalleled power poured into the gold-plated lamp, unending.
The golden lamp began to shine brightly, and after that, a lamp flew out from its body and floated into the air, illuminating the heavens.
Seventh lamp!
Next was the eighth lamp, then the ninth!
With the nine echoes of the lanterns complete, the world began to change and a phenomenon began to appear.
"Oh my god, what is that?" When the people outside the empty city saw this, their pupils suddenly dilated.
"Phenomenon!"
"What kind of phenomenon is this? It's so shocking!"
Immortal flowers were falling down from the top of the empty city. Each flower was about the size of a bowl. They would absorb the essence energy of heaven and earth before releasing scarlet multicolored light. It was densely packed, covering the entire sky. The nine lanterns hung in the air, illuminating everything.2
Golden lotuses appeared on the ground, all of them in full bloom, turning the sky city into a paradise on earth.
The myriad of flowers fell, and golden lotuses surged in the earth. This was the phenomenon of the nine echoes and nine lanterns!
The Great Elder, Jiang Yifan and Chen Junfeng looked at each other and saw the astonishment in each other's eyes.
"The nine echoes and the nine lanterns are even more terrifying than Huangfu Zhi in the past!" The Great Elder's face flushed red. "We must find out who this person is!"
"I must find him. This talent is too terrifying!" Jiang Yifan was also very much in favor of this idea, "If we can pull this kind of expert into the Martial Saint Mansion, then we will be able to open the conch nest! After you guys enter, you must rope this person in. Tell him, if he is willing, we can let him sit at the position of the Eighth Elder in the Sovereign's Estate! "
The geniuses in the pavilion were all horrified. The eighth elder of the supreme palace, although he didn't have much respect for this position, there were definitely benefits without any harm. After all these years since the establishment of the Martial House, only seven elders had been accepted into it.
"Little Goldfish, go to the empty city and take a look. Find the person who beat the drum and bring them back safely." Yao Qingcheng was extremely graceful, elegant and noble. She wore a phoenix robe, giving her the appearance of a female emperor looking down on the world.
"Yes, Vice Sect Leader." A black shadow flashed and disappeared into the sky, heading towards the empty city.
Meng Tian stared at Meng Xuan, as a look of gratification appeared in his eyes. "Very good."
Ye Chanji also nodded his head: "Young man, practice hard. Your talent is even better than Huangfu Zhi's. But you have to keep it a secret. Before you grow up, you can't let anyone know that you're the one who sounded the dragon drum. After Huangfu Zhi rang the bell a hundred times back then, he met with a hundred assaults and finally survived. "
Bei Hong Ji patted Meng Xuan on the shoulder, "You're about to open the door to the original world. "If you have the chance in the future, come find me at the White Emperor Palace."
"Of course." Meng Xuan wasn't overly polite. Instead, he turned his gaze onto Meng Tian.
"Father, how did you comprehend the Great Dream of the Natural Art?" Meng Xuan didn't understand. The Great Dream Art was a supreme scripture that had the potential to affect his Manifestation Scripture. With Meng Tianji's cultivation base and latent talent, it was very difficult to come into contact with him.
"I don't remember, but someone whispered in my ear." Meng Tianji said.
"Alright, cut the crap. Open the world of origin!" The three great protectors all shouted in unison. Their hands began to form seals as they opened up a great gate in the air. The gate was bright and resplendent, making it seem as if it were sparkling and translucent.
It was the original world!
