Chapter 38: The Funeral Bell_i

Chapter 38: The Funeral Bell_i

Zi Ling had just entered the small courtyard when the sound of a flute began to resound.

In the courtyard, Li Fan, holding a jade flute, started to play.

The jade flute, crafted from some kind of exquisite jade, was crystal clear and flawless, seemingly like the on clouds in the sky. On the flute, there were two ancient characters that stood out:

“Divine Melody”.

The clear and remote sound of the flute continued to rise.

Li Fan intended to make the other party back off by understanding the difficulty, so the tune he played resembled the surging of great rivers and seas!

Nan Feng was extremely shocked as she stared blankly at Li Fan, comprehending the sound of his flute.

Music is connected, and the sound of a flute can likewise inspire her zither music.

At this moment, she clearly felt like a lone boat being propelled by endless rivers, ascending and plummeting, with towering waves surging to the sky, and the rivers roaring!

The great river flows eastward, waves washing away the heroes of ages past!

Waves pounding the shore, rolling up a thousand piles of snow!

The grand and majestic scene rendered her utterly spellbound.

Inside the courtyard, fish became still while earth chickens lay dormant. On the Pantao Tree, big and red Pan Peaches radiated dazzling brilliance, and with the sound of the flute, every leaf in the vegetable patch pulsated!

A single note sounded, and all living things harmonized!

Outside the courtyard.

Tie Ming was disoriented and dumbfounded, as if his soul had been seized by some entity. His iron flute clanged to the ground.

"The Ultimate Sound, the Ultimate Sound...”

Muttering to himself, Tie Ming clearly felt that this flute music depicted a world where the vast sea surged, the mighty ocean roared, and he was no more than the most insignificant wave.

The music within the courtyard suddenly shifted, with waves risen by the fierce wind, crashing down heavily. In an instant, the world fell silent, just like the calm surface of a lake after a storm.

Every wave vanished.

And at that moment, Tie Ming’s body suddenly began to fade away!

He disappeared gradually from foot to head, with no sign of where he had gone.

All that was left in his place was his iron flute, whistling in the wind.

Li Fan had stopped playing the flute.

"No... no, Master, Master!”

Zhu Xin trembled as she stood there in disbelief at the scene, calling out to Supreme Tie Ming, but there was no response.

"Senior brother, what happened? What on earth happened?”

Zhu Xin looked at Ao Ming in terror.

Ao Ming’s lips were dry, his whole body trembling faintly, he said, ” Supreme Tie Ming... has become one with the Tao, he has become one with the Tao!”

Become one with the Tao!

Zhu Xin was stupefied.

Becoming one with the Tao... meant completely vanishing from this world.Th.ê most uptodate novels are published on n(0)velbj)n(.)co/m

But wasn’t that something that occurred only when a Supreme being reached the end of their life and could break through no further? Supreme Tie Ming was in the prime of his life, with a clear path ahead, even considered as one of the Three Absolutes Holy Land’s likely candidates for becoming an Immortal-

Now he had become one with the Tao, merely from an unknown existence’s melody within the small courtyard.

"What kind of person is hidden here, causing two Supremes of the Holy Land to end up, one mad, the other becoming one with the Tao...”

Ao Ming murmured, then turned and left.

Without a moment’s hesitation!

"Quick, run for it!”

He only said that much before he started to flee at full speed!

"Senior brother, wait for me, wait for me...”

Zhu Xin was also frightened, hurrying to follow him, not daring to even pick up Tie Ming’s iron flute...

Since this small mountain village happened to avoid the affected area, it would be best to take risks here.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of Nan Feng and Zi Ling became even more complex.

Even Senior Li said it was chaotic... What exactly would happen within the Cangli Mountain Range?

At this moment.

Ao Ming and Zhu Xin fled all the way and finally stopped after they had long since passed the mountain village.

"What should we do, what can we do now...”

Zhu Xin frantically asked in alarm.

Two Supremes, one gone mad, the other transcended...

If this news got back, the Three Absolutes Holy Land would surely be in upheaval...

"Nevermind, now we must tell the Holy Land!”

"Let the Holy Land bring the Immortal Artifact here. I refuse to believe that Zi Ling and Nan Feng, those two wretched people, will have anyone left to protect them!”

Ao Ming spoke with a grim face and immediately crushed a Jade Talisman!

The Jade Talisman that connects to the Three Absolutes Holy Land!

In front of the two of them, a light screen suddenly appeared, and in the light screen, a vague figure could be seen.

"What’s the matter?”

An authoritative voice sounded.

"Reporting to the Supreme Elder, Nan Feng and Zi Ling, two rebellious disciples, have left the Sect Gate and pledged allegiance to another, and they have also caused the Supreme Tie Ming to transcend, while the whereabouts of Supreme Shi Tai remain unknown!”

"I implore the Supreme Elder to provide immediate support and execute the traitors to avenge this great enmity!”

Ao Ming’s voice was heavy.

On the other side of the light screen, the imposing figure seemed stunned for a moment, then vanished as if nothing had happened.

"Brother, this...” Zhu Xin was somewhat puzzled.

"Two Supremes have emerged, the Sect Gate will definitely need to deliberate! Just wait!”

Ao Ming spoke darkly.

At this moment.

Central Province.

In a Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands.

Majestic mountains and extraordinary aura, the disciples of this holy site were all highly talented.

Someone was painting on the mountain top, and as he painted, the wind seemed to follow the brush.

Someone was playing music by the lakeside, and when they played, the waterfowl danced along.

There was even a group of Sword Cultivators who were respectfully watching a middle-aged man write; as his strokes fell, Sword Qi burst forth!

A picture of tranquility and peace, it truly was a sacred site for cultivation.

But at this moment, urgent and grand bell tolls suddenly rang out, echoing throughout the entire Three Absolutes Holy Land.

Instantly, all the cultivators there changed their expressions!

"What’s going on... what is that sound?”

"Death knell... The death knell... It’s the death knell of the Supreme!”

"What!? Our Three Absolutes Holy Land... A Supreme has fallen?! How is this possible? What happened?”

In an instant, the scholar painting on the mountain peak watched as his paper tore apart.

The strings of the instrument being played lakeside suddenly snapped, and a few dancing waterbirds explosively turned into mist of blood.

In the woods, the final stroke of the middle-aged man’s calligraphy could not be completed, as the pen broke outright.

For a time, everyone in the Three Absolutes Holy Land was shocked, staring dumbfoundedly towards the main hall’s location!

Everyone knew... something big had happened!
