Chapter 73: 700 Years of Dancing at the Grave

In the beginning, Feng Xia could not tell the origin of the eight small bells.

There was a lot of content in the Floating Dream Three Lives Technique. However, for Feng Xia, other than the main chapter regarding the cultivation technique, the remaining stuff were more like supplementary study materials.

If he had marked it meant he had seen it, and if he had seen it meant he had learned it.

It was like thinking one knew how to use the knowledge at first glance, but feeling crippled the moment the knowledge was applied.

It was precisely because of this that he discovered by accident that the essence of the eight small spiritual light bells was eight divine powers. Only then did he manage to find some clues about the origin of the small spiritual light bells from the patterns on the side of the big bell.

Eight Notes of the Celestial Dragon!

Even in the era when Patriarch Chenhai was active, the Eight Notes of the Celestial Dragon could be considered a top-notch divine power. It was a secret of the Ten Thousand Dragon Cave in the East Sea. There were even various rumors that indicated that this might be a divine-level grand divine power!

If the eight small bells represented the Eight Notes of the Celestial Dragon, then it was not too surprising that the first Sect Master of the Thousand Autumn Valley, Chao Haisheng, would give up on passing down sword skills and the Ways of the Sword and choose the eight small bells to be the inheritance instead.

Even so, there were still some questions that could not be answered.

That was why Feng Xia came here again to confirm the true origin of the eight small bells.

As everyone saw…

Everything that happened earlier was quite normal. It was basically exactly what Feng Xia had expected—until the sudden “woof” sound.

Feng Xia: “?”

Zhu Youniang was stunned for a moment before she waved at Feng Xia curiously. “…Woof?”

“… I know. I don’t need you to imitate it again.”

The annoyed Feng Xia could not help but cover his forehead.

Thinking about it carefully, before he transmigrated, all kinds of unlikely things were already everywhere on Earth.

Therefore, after he transmigrated to the alternate world, there was no reason for him to expect everyone to be normal in this supernatural world with strange power and unnatural phenomena.

From the looks of it, since it was supposed common sense that Four Heavenly Kings equated to five people, then by using the same logic, it was very likely that the Eight Notes of the Celestial Dragon would have a ninth sound…

It was reasonable.

…Not!

“Could it be that these eight bells don’t represent the Eight Notes of the Celestial Dragon?”

Looking at the eight small spiritual light bells that had gone silent, Feng Xia crossed his arms in front of his chest and became entangled in his thoughts. “If they’re not the Eight Notes of the Celestial Dragon, what the hell are they…”

And the last “woof” sounded like a dog barking no matter how one looked at it.

If you were to tell him that the Dragon Clan had developed a grand divine power that barked like a dog… Sorry, he really could not continue imagining it.

“Could it be that my activation posture is wrong?”

Feng Xia ruffled his hair and suddenly raised his hand. His magical power surged and struck the eight small bells at the same time.

Swoosh—

The eight small bells lit up again.

At the same time, a deafening bell chime sounded and transformed into an invisible wave that spread out. In an instant, it swept through the huge Thousand Autumn Valley.

Woof!

Woof woof woof woof woof woof woof!

Feng Xia continued, “?”

There were still the Eight Notes of the Celestial Dragon just now. How did it become the Eight Notes of the Celestial Dog in the blink of an eye?

On the other hand, Zhu Youniang became really excited. The girl clenched one fist by her cheek and shook it at Feng Xia. She imitated the sounds excitedly. “Xia, listen. Woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof~”

Hey, hey, hey!

Miss, please remember that your true form is a spider!

You are a spider, not a dog!

Even so, Feng Xia was still stunned by the scene in front of him. For a moment, he thought of many indescribable scenes.

Uh, there were no strange creatures of the world that he did not know about!

“This is really what the hell. At first, I thought that the inheritance left behind by the first Sect Master, Chao Haisheng, was actually these eight small bells. And that the so-called inheritance is actually the Eight Notes of the Celestial Dragon divine power on the small bells.”

After coming back to his senses, Feng Xia could not help but click his tongue. “Now it seems that I’ve probably thought wrongly… What is this!”

At this moment, an earth-shattering tremor spread out from the depths of the earth, shaking all the plants around. The buildings in the valley all rocked as cracks of various sizes started spreading out on the ground.

“What’s going on?”

“Who’s causing trouble outside?”

Lei Shao and Liu Chuanyuan, who were the first to sense the abnormality, rushed out one after another. The two of them activated their cultivation and looked around warily, afraid that a powerful enemy would suddenly attack at this moment.

Then, they noticed that the source of the tremor did not come from outside the Thousand Autumn Valley, but from the ground beneath their feet!

“It’s the ground shaking?”

“Something seems to be coming out!”

Lei Shao could not help but roar. He twisted his body to avoid a crack under his feet, and his expression became even more solemn.

He could clearly see that there was a strange light flickering in the depths of the ground under the crack, as if a huge creature was awakening and would break out of the ground at any moment!

After being in the Thousand Autumn Valley for so many years, this was the first time he knew that there was such an abnormal existence… located in the ground under his sect!

“What is it?”

Suddenly, Lei Shao’s expression changed drastically. He suddenly turned around and shouted, “Sissy, run—”

Liu Chuanyuan seemed to have also realized something. Without a word, he nodded his head vigorously. Then, he unleashed all his cultivation and retreated like a streak of lightning.

During this period, the two of them even managed to grab a few dazed disciples and removed them from the dangerous area.

Almost at the next moment.

Kaboom—

A dull rocking sound spread in all directions. A crack that was tens of kilometers long cut through the Thousand Autumn Valley and extended into the depths of Mount Canglan!

Immediately after that, ancient dilapidated pavilions that were suffused with the aura of decay rose from the rift valley one after another and settled down on both sides of the rift valley!

“Oh my… heavens!”

As he ran, Lei Shao turned around and his jaw dropped “What the heck is this?”

Liu Chuanyuan subconsciously turned around and was also stunned.

From afar, it looked like a long, bustling street. There was no beginning and no end. There were terraces, pavilions, buildings, towers and verandas. Even though many places were already dilapidated or even greatly damaged, they still gave off a sense of inexplicable sacredness.

When all the shaking had stopped, the surroundings fell silent again.

Only the faint sunlight shone down, coating the mysterious buildings with a layer of gold.

“What… exactly is hidden under our Thousand Autumn Valley?” Lei Shao could not help but mutter.

“What… what the hell!”

At the same time, Feng Xia, who was deep inside the Thousand Autumn Valley, was also at a loss for words. It took him a long time to squeeze out those few words.

He did not expect that activating the eight small spiritual light bells at the same time would trigger such a huge change. An ancient street had suddenly risen from the depths of the Thousand Autumn Valley!

“As expected… this world always manages to surprise me.”

After a long time, Feng Xia shook his head forcefully and sighed.
