C20 Sword Force
When the seventh sound of the bell-drums rang out, the Cloud Sea Sect was completely silent. Only that holy sound could be heard for a very long time.
People in the Cloud Sea Sect even had a strange feeling that as though the only thing that remained in this world was the soul-shaking sound of the bell-drums. This sound was akin to the might of heaven and earth, enveloping the entire Cloud Sea Sect.
Nangong Ling stood with his hands behind his back and looked towards the direction of the Heavenly Chasm Cliff. His robe was fluttering in the wind, and around him, Mo Canglan, Mo Ye, the disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect, and even Chu Zhanpeng and Lin Qian were all looking in that direction, giving people a kind of dreamy feeling. It seemed that they were going on pilgrimage.
At the Isolated Peak Cave of the Heavenly Chasm Cliff, the Black-Robed Old Man stood there. He raised his head and looked upwards and his eyes were filled with a sense of solemnity.
The black-robed old man guarded the Heavenly Chasm Cliff. In the Cloud Sea Sect, very few people knew of his existence. However, even the Sect Master, Nangong Ling, had to politely call him Elder Kong when he saw him.
He found that Lin Feng’s cultivation was only at the Eighth Level of Qi Martial Stage and his Martial Soul also seemed to be very weak. As a result, he let him enter the hardest trial, the cliff with the bell-drums. He just hoped Lin Feng could retreat after knowing the difficulty of the challenge, but Elder Kong never would have thought that just with his weak cultivation, Lin Feng would ring the bell-drums of the cliff.
What caused Elder Kong to be even more shocked was that the sound of the bell-drums rang out one after the other in a long and long manner, enveloping the entire Cloud Sea Sect. At this moment, the seventh sound had already rung out.
In the thousand-year history of the Cloud Sea Sect, no one had ever created such a miracle.
Elder Kong moved his feet as he stepped into the passage leading to the cliff of the bell-drums. He walked up the stairs and his solemn expression made it seem as if he was waiting for the eighth sound of the bell-drums.
At this moment, in the cliff, the sword Qi was still crisscrossing the cliff. However, the sword Qi was no longer wantonly wreaking havoc. Instead, it was moving along with the long sword in Lin Feng's hand. Wherever the sword went, the sword Qi would sweep away all obstacles.
"Force, wherever the sword force goes, everything will be annihilated." There was a faint smile on Lin Feng's face. The eight bell-drums were extremely mysterious, as if only by destroying their aura and by using a powerful attack that could overwhelm the rebounded force of the bell-drums, one would be able to ring the bell-drums. Just like Lin Feng right now, only by using the force of the sword and attacking them with a force stronger than the rebounded force, would he be able to ring the bell-drums.
"Right now, I have already sounded the seventh bell-drum. In addition to the last one, there are eight chimes in unison. It should be considered as having passed the test perfectly." Lin Feng muttered to himself. Even now, he still thought that this was the simplest test of the Heavenly Chasm Cliff.
The long sword moved, and the deadly sword qi merged into one, releasing a cold light on the long sword.
"Ring for me." With a loud shout, the sword qi turned into a bright ray of light and exploded towards the last bell-drum.
"Clang!" The prolonged eighth bell-drum sound reverberated above the Cloud Sea Sect. After a long time, the martial soul behind Lin Feng disappeared and he sat down on the ground, then lay on the ground.
"This way, I can obtain the pill and treat Han Man's injuries." After exhausting all of his strength, Lin Feng revealed a brilliant smile.
A rumbling sound could be heard. The stone wall opened, and a man walked out. It was none other than the black-robed old man.
Seeing the black-robed old man, Lin Feng stood up again. He turned to the old man and asked: "Senior, can I be considered to have passed the test? Can I obtain the pill I need?"
When Elder Kong saw the clean smile in Lin Feng's eyes, he was stunned for a moment, then a strange feeling appeared in his heart. He had never had any emotions for a long time. Perhaps Lin Feng himself did not realize what he had done since what he wanted was not the unprecedented honor, but merely a pill used to treat his friend's injuries.
"Of course." The Black-Robed Old Man nodded his head, took out a bottle of pills and tossed it over to Lin Feng: "There are some pills that can cure the wound and one is enough to heal your friend's injuries. As for the rest, you can keep them, perhaps you need to use them in the future."
"Thank you, senior." Lin Feng was somewhat surprised. Judged by what the black-robed old man had said just now, a single pill was enough to treat Han Man's injuries. The pills were obviously very rare. But he gave him a bottle of the pills. Lin Feng did not doubt him. With his status and strength, there was no need for him to use such a trick to deceive him.
"This is what you deserve after passing the test. However, you must remember that you must not mention the fact that you have passed the test of the cliff to anyone else." Elder Kong exhorted him. Lin Feng was able to ring the eight bell-drums while his cultivation was only at the Eighth Level of Qi Martial Stage. No matter how Lin Feng had done it, Lin Feng's talent was unquestionable as he had broken the history of the Cloud Sea Sect. Elder Kong did not want anyone to set their eyes on Lin Feng.
In the Snow Moon Kingdom, there seemed to be quite a number of incidents where various large sects were secretly killing outstanding disciples from other sects who had outstanding talents but had yet to mature. However, Lin Feng today had rung the bell-drums that represented the rise of the Cloud Sea Sect, which would undoubtedly make him the first target for some sects to hunt.
"Alright." Even though Lin Feng didn’t know why the black-robed old man asked him to do this, he still nodded his head.
The black-robed old man lifted his head and spoke to the distance, "Elder Bei, bring him back."
Lin Feng was stunned. Here were steep precipices and cliffs, all that could be seen were cliffs, but the Black-Robed Old Man was evidently not speaking to the air.
"Alright, old man, you can go back now." A voice drifted over from the cliff. Lin Feng raised his head and saw a black dot coming down from heaven. This black dot had a pair of gigantic wings, snow-white illusory wings. They were actually the wings of a crane.
"Experts at Martial Tao are able to traverse the skies. I have never thought that the Cloud Sea Sect would have such a powerful expert." Lin Feng's heart raced with excitement, but soon after, he felt a strong gust of wind sweeping towards him, causing him to almost lose his footing.
As sand flew in clouds, the figure of the crane landed on the precipice, causing Lin Feng to be slightly shocked. It was him!
Lin Feng recognized him. He was the guardian of the Star Pavilion. At this moment, he no longer had any signs of laziness. His eyes twinkled, exhibiting a spirit of swallowing dragon and snake.
"The people guarding the Star Pavilion is indeed extraordinary." At this point, Lin Feng was even more certain of his guess.
"Brat, let me introduce you. This old man is one of the guardians of the Cloud Sea Sect. You can call him Elder Kong. As for me, I'm also a guardian of the sect like him. You can call me Elder Bei." The old man seemed to be in an exceptionally good mood. The guardian of the sect had an extraordinary status within the sect. Even the sect master would have to be polite when he saw them.
For those who could become the guardians of the sect, their loyalty to the sect could not be compared with others. The only thing that was important to them was the sect. Since Lin Feng was able to ring the eight bell-drums, how could Elder Bei not be happy?
"Elder Bei, Elder Kong." Lin Feng lightly smiled at the two of them. The two sect guardians should be the peak existences within the sect.
Elder Kong silently nodded his head before turning around and walking towards the stone wall. A moment later, the stone wall opened and Elder Kong vanished into the darkness.
"This old man spends every day in that damn cave. It's rare for him to say a single word for several days, but he has already become accustomed to being indifferent." Elder Bei shook his head, pulled Lin Feng and said: "Let's leave too."
The phantom of the Crane Martial Soul appeared once again, creating a hurricane. Lin Feng felt himself rising into the air. Looking at the void below his feet, Lin Feng had a dreamy feeling. In his previous life, who would dare to imagine themselves soaring into the sky without the aid of a flying object?
However, in the Nine Empyreans Continent, the strong power actually allowed martial artists to look down on the heavens and the earth.
