Chapter 407 - Shao Hao Bell (1/2)

"This…."

Zhong Yue and Bai Shuyue were stunned. They stared vacantly at the godly herb's remains. They felt like crying and said, "Isn't the Luminant Sun Gold much stronger than we thought it should be?"

"BRAT!!"

Xin Huo raged in Zhong Yue's psyche ocean, "A godly herb, do you even know what it means!? And you've just burned it, burned it!"

All of a sudden, Bai Shuyue then smiled and said, "It was never ours in the first place. There is really no need to dwell on it. Senior Martial Brother Zhong, shall we continue?"

Zhong Yue then let it the issue go in his mind and replied with a smile, "Senior martial sister is really tolerant. I am really in awe. Let's go then!"

"Brat Yue, this little girl from the Bai Zhe Clan is also an extravagant lady. Thankfully, you didn't marry her, else, prepare to have everything you have lost in days!"

Xin Huo was vigilant as he said, "She needs to be left a distance away from your treasures, only those you give to her can she use at will. Just that it'll be a headache if she starts rolling on the floor for more treasures…."

Zhong Yue then tried to melt another clump of ice in which another magnate's soul weapon was frozen. But, in line with their expectations, the Luminant Sun Gold burned the soul weapon into ash as it did with the godly herb.

The fire of Luminant Sun Gold was the sunfire from the sun's core. Not even the demon sunfire could compete against it, being able to burn a magnate's soul weapon into ash easily!

Zhong Yue and Bai Shuyue looked at one another and laughed, "So, seems like only the godly treasures can withstand the godly fire's power. Fine, fine, let's leave these treasures behind for the other Qi Practitioners that can reach here."

The two of them then gave up and continued walking forward. For the next hundreds of miles, they encountered fewer magnate ice sculptures before they finally traversed past the ice sea.

Zhong Yue turned back, and the ice sea then disappeared. There was only an ice mirror hovering in mid-air, one which they seemingly just walked out of.

"This ice mirror is also Lord Xia's soul weapon, what a pity that we can't take it away."

This ice mirror and that picture scroll were both incredible divine weapons, only a fine line away from the saint weapons. However, these two weapons were part of Lord Xia's seals, and they were embedded in the array formation. To take them away would require extraordinary power, something that neither Zhong Yue nor Bai Shuyue currently had.

The two then continued along their path. Suddenly, Bai Shuyue's beautiful countenance turned pallid, and she mumbled, "The late clan master…."

Zhong Yue's body shuddered as he became at a loss for words.

In front of them was a world filled with icy fire. In the midst of the fire was an ice sculpture that was a ten thousand feet tall Bai Zhe beast. Behind it were also many other similarly sized Bai Zhe beasts!

The Imminent Deity Bai Zhe beasts were also frozen in this sea of blue fire.

"It seems like all the previous clan master were here for Lord Bai's heritage."

Bai Shuyue mumbled, "But the flame is too strong, even they couldn't withstand it. Senior Martial Brother Zhong, can you really get past this?"

Zhong Yue then activated his divine third eye - the totem patterns in the ice flame were incredibly abstruse, allowing these ice flames to change into a multitude of forms that ranged from swords to boats to buildings and many more.

"Xin Huo, do you think we can do it?" Zhong Yue asked.

Xin Huo was also looking at the ice flames through Zhong Yue's eyes, and he said, "It's possible, but it'll be incredibly dangerous. I can bring you alone, but with that little girl along, you may not be able to ensure your own safety. Furthermore, Lord Bai's arrangements don't really felt like he is testing the Bai Zhe descendants so that they can obtain his heritage. This looks more like a sealing array that is for the sole purpose of locking something away. It may not be entirely wise to proceed any further."

Zhong Yue pondered, and he said, "We've got to this stage already, I think we deserve to know what is in there!"

Xin Huo then stopped, he mulled for a few seconds and said, "With your defensive skills at the moment, it is impossible for you to withstand the totem patterns that form the ice flames. These totem patterns can bring the ice flames into different forms, and with each form, comes different powers. Those attacks most probably killed these Bai Zhe Clan clan masters. In order for you to get past this, you need a stronger defensive skill! Do you still remember the bell I used against Sha Qishan and the Xia Clan Martial Heavenly Masters?"

Xin Huo formed a translucent bell with the totem patterns during the battle, and it was strong enough to fend off the attacks of two Martial Heavenly Masters and one Imminent Deity Qi Practitioners and come out of it unscathed!

"That bell has a name, and it's called the Shao Hao Bell. And it was the soul weapon of the sixth Fuxi Earthly Sovereign, Shao Hao."

"The totem patterns on the Shao Hao Bell resemble a skill in and of themselves. Master them, and you can then form the [Shao Hao Bell] yourself to form the same all-encompassing defense around yourself. However, it is still not enough. You need to establish a link with the real Shao Hao Bell and borrow its power to get past through the ice flames."

"Shao Hao Bell, the sixth Earthly Sovereign's soul weapon?"

Zhong Yue was shouted in shock, "Fuxi Shao Hao's soul weapon is still here in this world!? But … can I even use an ounce of its power?"

"Of course, you can."

Xin Huo smiled and said, "Shao Hao's tomb is in Ancestral Star. The Shao Hao Bell will surely be with him, guarding the imperial tomb. And … you are also a Fuxi, of course, you can establish a link with Shao Hao Bell and request for some of its power. Even if you can't, there's still me."

The little flame boasted proudly, "That bell will surely lend me it's power if all else fails!"
