Chapter 617: Ringing The Bell

“By a stroke of good fortune...” Zeras replied to the man who looked at him dubiously, before turning to the remaining two arts.

“I’m guessing since you have managed to cultivate the Nine Star Hegemony art, you should be able to cultivate the Nine Stars Fist art, right?” he asked as Zeras nodded.

“Also, that too is incomplete. There are only the Heart of Hegemony and the Fist of an Angered God. The others are all missing...” Zeras mused out loud as the man nodded before turning to the last one.

“And this one?”

“The Star Sword Manual is an Astral-based technique with a total of five techniques. The first is the Melody of Sweet Dreams, the second is Tempest of the Star Form, the third is the Pillar of Sprinkling Dust, the fourth is Cage of Starlight, but I have yet to practice the fifth. I don’t have enough time...” Zeras said as the elder nodded.

“It’s already commendable you can reach the fourth stage in a year. Then, you can take this back with you and bring it back to me in two months. That should give you enough time to fully practice the technique then...” the man said as he returned one of the manuals back to him, and a big smile bloomed on Zeras’ face.

“The later stages of the Nine Star Manual are only on the higher floors. You can’t touch those places unless you are an inner sect member...” the elder said as Zeras’ eyes furrowed before he nodded.

At least he knew the other manuals are just on the higher floors. If they had been in the Cangu Universe, then it would have been a headache and his cultivation might get stalled. All he needed to do was take the test and become an inner sect member. Then he would come back and retrieve the other manuals of the techniques...

“Thank you for the techniques, old man. I’ll be returning soon to check the higher manuals...” Zeras said as he gave a small bow before immediately moving towards the exit.

“You plan on ringing the bell to get in, don’t you?” the old man suddenly said as Zeras paused just a step away from exiting the Martial God Hall.

“Yes. That’s my only chance...” Zeras replied.

Standing just an inch before the bell, he could see the various runes that ran across its surface, brimming with an ancient aura, and immediately Zeras held the rope tightly, runes flashing over his skin, before he violently pulled down.

RRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING

A loud sound of ringing, followed by a magnificent ripple of golden energy, flared throughout the entire inner sect top, and once more...

RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING

Another pulse of energy rippled outwards, going beyond the inner sect area and reaching the farthest area of the outer sect.

And one last time...

RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING

Zeras pulled as the ripple this time managed to cover the entirety of the sect, followed by a pillar of golden energy emanating from the bell and tearing through the sky.

“What’s happening....”

“Someone rang the bell!!!”

Various murmurs of inner sect and outer sect disciples rang out as they looked at the golden streaks present in the sky, but the same couldn’t be said for the elders’ area as various auras shot into the sky and the elders covered the sky like seas, their eyes looking at the golden ripples in the sky.

“He has finally come to take what belongs to him...”
