Chapter 694 - 511: Inheritance That Stirs the Heart
Spirit Realm, Three Extremes Domain.
In the vast sea of stars, amidst billions of stellar rays, the palace stretches endlessly; it is the Antarctic Immortal Mansion!
"Buzz——!"
A low, trembling Dao Rhyme swept out from deep within the Immortal Mansion, instantly spreading across the entire mansion and even the surrounding firmament.
The originally quiet, suspended billions of stars suddenly erupted with dazzling brilliance.
Starlight cascaded down like a waterfall, interwoven into a vast celestial net, enveloping the Antarctic Immortal Mansion.
Followed closely by.
"Dong——!"
A deep and sonorous bell rang out, ancient and far-reaching, penetrating the void, resonating in all directions.
The lingering reverberation of the bell drew out, each tremor resonating with the Heaven and Earth Laws.
The Dao Pattern within the Immortal Mansion lit up completely, responding to the vast starlight and transforming into a terrifying anomaly, sweeping across all directions like a tidal wave.
Inside the Immortal Mansion, countless cultivators hurriedly stopped their cultivation and discussions, looking up towards the sky in shock, with debates rising continuously, filled with confusion and unease.
"What kind of phenomenon is this?!"
"Billions of stars all shining, along with this profound bell tolling; I have cultivated in the Immortal Mansion for thirty thousand years, never seen nor heard anything like this!"
"I don’t know, never heard this kind of bell, nor seen such celestial disturbance to this extent!"
The crowd debated fervently, their expressions varied, some fearful, some puzzled, some curious, yet no one could elucidate the reason.
At this moment, a powerful and ancient aura suddenly burst forth from the crowd, surging towards the heavens.
It was indeed a Void Refining Ninth Tribulation Great Power, with a flicker of shock and seriousness in his eyes.
"Everyone, remain calm! I know the origin of this bell!"
As the words fell, the crowd instantly quieted down, turning their heads towards the elder, afraid of missing crucial information.
The elder took a deep breath, suppressing the waves in his heart, speaking gravely and slowly:
"This is the highest level of summoning signal, aimed at recalling all Dharma Masters and Daoist Monarchs outside, to gather at the Antarctic Immortal Palace."
"What?! Summoning all Dharma Masters and Daoist Monarchs?!"
Upon hearing this, the audience was astounded, their faces showing even greater shock as they gasped in disbelief.
The Immortal Mansion’s Dharma Masters and Daoist Monarchs are the pillars of the mansion; regular matters don’t require such a great mobilization.
The elder slowly nodded, his expression growing more solemn:
"The last time the mansion rang such a summoning bell was during the two-domain war fifty million years ago!"
"Back then, the Three Great Immortal Mansions united against the enemy, with countless Great Powers falling; it was a time of devastation..."
"Two-domain war?!"
The crowd’s eyes were filled with horror—the horrors of the two-domain war still circulated in the Immortal Mansion, even after millions of years.
"What major event has occurred?!"
"Summoning all Dharma Masters and Daoist Monarchs once more—could it mean another war is about to break out?"
"The summoning bell has rung; this surely isn’t an ordinary event, perhaps even more dangerous than the two-domain war back then!"
Meanwhile, within Pan Wu Hall.
The palace stood grandly, with chaotic airflows calmly rising and falling, faintly resonating with the Dao sounds of creation.
On the central throne, a figure sat quietly.
"Swish——!"
Chen Sheng slowly opened his eyes, a flash of divine light passed:
"The summoning bell of the Antarctic Immortal Mansion, ringing at this moment... is it due to Celestial Radiance Mountain?"
"Celestial Radiance Mountain suddenly opening... and the Antarctic Immortal Mansion now gathering all Dharma Masters and Daoist Monarchs, is certainly no coincidence.
"Celestial Radiance True Immortal... a True Immortal surpassing Mahayana?"
Chen Sheng’s incarnation slightly nodded, a flicker of resolution in his eyes:
"Perhaps some Daoist Monarchs know something. They hold secrets of the Immortal Mansion, maybe they know the origin of Celestial Radiance Mountain."
Thinking thus, his figure slightly moved.
With a step forward, crossing the void, he instantly tore through the barriers of space-time, racing towards the direction of the Antarctic Immortal Palace.
...
Antarctic Immortal Palace, standing atop the Immortal Mansion, is the supreme place for discussion.
The hall was vast and boundless, seemingly able to contain all things in heaven and earth.
Above the high platform, three majestic purple-gold thrones hovered in mid-air, carved with dragon, phoenix, and qilin phantom images, radiating intimidating pressure.
Below the high platform, seventy-seven seats were arranged on both sides, forming a Seven Star surrounding a moon configuration.
Each seat corresponded to a registered Dharma Master of the Immortal Mansion.
"Buzz——!"
The void slightly twisted, Chen Sheng’s figure slowly appeared, draped in a Profound Daoist Robe, as he looked around the hall:
"Oh? So many have arrived already?"
At this time, the hall was already gathering numerous figures of Dharma Masters, each seated in their respective thrones, either meditating with eyes closed or engaging in quiet conversation.
"Fellow Daoist Pan Wu!"
A hearty voice rang first, from the left a throne where a Nine Refining Dharma Master raised his hand in greeting, dressed in a red Magic Robe.
"Fellow Daoist is here!"
The other Dharma Masters also turned to look and greeted with raised hands.
Over the years, Chen Sheng had attended countless Dao Assemblies, engaging in discourse and debates with the Immortal Mansion’s Dharma Masters, gradually becoming acquainted.
With the perfection of the second step of Integration in strength, he was held in high regard among the many Dharma Masters.
Chen Sheng slightly nodded, raising his hand in return:
"Greetings to all fellow Daoists."
His figure slightly moved, slowly settled onto his respective throne.
At this moment.
A Dharma Master dressed in a green robe, surrounded by the aura of grass and trees, spoke solemnly, a flicker of seriousness in his eyes:
"This sudden summons from the Immortal Mansion must certainly be for the matter concerning Source Sea!"
"Celestial Radiance Mountain opening, True Immortal Dao sounds, such a grand commotion, the Immortal Mansion surely cannot remain indifferent!"
"Indeed! True Immortal!"
"Mahayana cultivators have all ascended to the Immortal Realm, yet unexpected there’s True Immortal heritage left in our Spirit Realm,"
...
Listening to the discussion, Chen Sheng slowly nodded, not surprised at all.
The Integration Dharma Masters mostly had incarnations traveling in Source Sea, gathering the essence...
