Chapter 245 2 (1/2)
Having Mid Spirit Severing Realm aura force, Ning Fan would surely be able to climb up to the tenth floor and demolish the Ming Yu Building, if he had not brought Mu Xiao Huan with him!
Internally, Lu Sheng had already tacitly accepted his lost on his bet against Ning Fan.
At the same time, Lu Sheng also noticed that the Baleful Qi which appeared suddenly had already been used up, making it impossible for Ning Fan’s aura force to grow anymore.
However, Ning Fan’s actions which were always exceeding all expectations made Lu Sheng think that he actually still had several means to reach the tenth floor while bringing along the little girl!
It might be unreasonable but it was exactly how Lu Sheng felt.
“Is he going to continue climbing the stairs?”
With Xiao Huan by his side, the ninth floor was his limitation.
Without that girl, the tenth floor would be his limitation instead.
After arriving at the ninth floor, Ning Fan stopped. This time, the ringing of the bell did not cease.
The dull noise emitted by the bell still continued to echo within his mind. However, Ning Fan gradually discerned a human voice within the ringing sound.
It was as if someone was saying something in the bell, but the contents were unclear…
“Who is speaking?” Ning Fan hesitated.
Judging by the current situation, he also knew that it would be extremely difficult for him to ascend to the tenth floor, unless he activates the Yin Yang Locket and mount the next flight of stairs depending on the prestige of the Ancient Chaos Emperor.
But if he chooses the easy way out by using the Yin Yang Locket, it would then contradict with his original intention.
“The ninth floor. I’ve already done enough to obtain fifty thousand battle points. It has also proved that I am capable of climbing up to the tenth floor without bringing anyone else with me. So there is no need for me to deliberately use the Yin Yang Locket which will in turn expose the fact that I have no fear for any aura force below the Void Fragmentation Realm…”
Without uttering a single word, he held Xiao Huan’s hands and turned to his back, planning to go down.
Just as he made his first step to go back, the bell loudly rang within his mind.
This time, he was able to hear the faint voice which was mixed within the ringing of the bell.
“I am the Demon Ancestor. This technique is the Heaven Sealing Art. This is the Secret Art of Prestige which is a part of the Secret Art of Prestige and Aura! The epigraph records the verbal spell while what you will hear next is the mental spell. It will only be told once. However, if the ringing of the bell stops, the mental spell will cease to be told!”
When that voice resounded in his mind, Ning Fan paused!
Demon Ancestor?!
Although a mere Supreme Grade Magical Treasure like this Eastern Ocean Bell was not worth mentioning, as an Offering Vessel for the Ancient Demon, it actually hid the inheritance of the Demon Ancestor’s Secret Arts?!
From the words of the Demon Ancestor, Ning Fan had gained lots of information.
The Heaven Sealing Art was divided into two parts. The ability of the Eastern Ocean Bell as well as the Body Sealing Technique which Ning Fan derived from the bell belonging to the first part of the Heaven Sealing Art – the Secret Art of Prestige. As for the second part of the Heaven Sealing Art – the Secret Art of Aura, it was not mentioned at all by the voice he heard…
The Secret Art of Prestige was also split into two parts, which were the verbal spell and the mental spell.
The unfamiliar epigraph on the bell should be the verbal spell but Ning Fan could only assess it after deciphering it.
As for the ringing of the bell which incessantly reverberated in his mind, it was the mental spell. Apparently, this spell would only be inherited once. After that, even if Ning Fan could not get it, the sound of the bell would be destroyed and the mental spell would vanish forever!
Ning Fan had no idea how powerful the Heaven Sealing Art could be. But from the astonishment that Stone Warrior felt back then, this technique seemed to be one of the top Immortal Arts in the Four Heavens Immortal World. Today, by coincidence, he obtained half of the inheritance of the Heaven Sealing Art. He had even activated the Eastern Ocean Bell by accident which granted him the chance to gain access to the mental spell!
If Ning Fan were to retreat now, the sound of the bell would instantly stop and he would never be able to obtain the mental spell again!
“Cannot retreat! There are no other choices! I must obtain the mental spell before the sound of the bell ceases! This is the only chance!”
Ning Fan cleared his thoughts and brought Mu Xiao Huan back to the stairs which led them to the tenth floor.
“He does want to ascend to the tenth floor!” Lu Sheng guessed correctly what Ning Fan would try to do next. However, he could not figure out what Ning Fan would use to withstand the aura force of the tenth floor.
On the flight of stairs to the tenth floor, Ning Fan could feel the immense aura force which was equal to the level of Late Spirit Severing Realm rushing to his mind in every step he took.
This feeling was akin to what he felt when he saw the Late Spirit Severing Realm Demon General, Wang Xiao, for the first time before entering the Second World.
Even though Wang Xiao was in his soul form after losing his physical body, Ning Fan only had a 10% chance of escaping alive.
That aura force he was experiencing now was comparable to that of Wang Xiao’s. Perhaps even the Cloud General of the Luo Yun Tribe would not be able to withstand this!
Should I activate the Yin Yang Locket?
No!
Ning Fan wanted to rely on his own to withstand the aura force. It was in that manner where he could listen to the sound of the bell.
One step later, his immortal veins nearly crumbled.
Ten steps later, his silver bones almost snapped.
A hundred steps later, his Nascent Soul was on the verge of collapsing.
Ning Fan’s face was deathly pale. But he proceeded without hesitation.
All of a sudden, the mental spell gradually echoed in his ears.
He seemed to notice a golden-robed young man standing on top of a star in the boundless Void Realm, gazing down on the common people.
The eyes of the golden-robed young man had a type of prestige! A prestige that was sufficient to freeze heaven and earth!
