C18 Taiji Bell
After which, Meng Xuan walked over to the second monolith, which had Fuxi Lock on it. Meng Xuan had long since figured it out. He glanced at it before walking away. Then a third... The fourth piece.
After reading all nine of them, the runes in Meng Xuan's mind were as majestic as an ocean. In the end, they reassembled into nine profound runes.
After looking at the nine monoliths, he had a deeper understanding of the Order Lock. And then, without wasting any more time, he walked towards the entrance of the first floor.
He pointed to the sky and the mark appeared. The nine boulders began to shine as they emitted nine rays of light that poured into his right hand. Then, he suddenly punched the glowing door.
"Ka Cha." The light screen shattered with a 'bang', and Meng Xuan directly stepped into it.
Everyone was shocked.
"So fast, it hasn't even been a quarter of an hour."
"There's nothing to be surprised about. Maybe he knew these Order Locks in the past?"
"That makes sense."
The second level was even more spacious than the first level. Eighteen enormous monuments towered in the missing areas. They were purplish-gold in color, and occasionally, a dark light flowed about.
At this moment, Chen Zulu was already standing in front of the fifteenth monument. With three more pieces, he would be able to enter the third floor! Before, he had been concealing something from Pouring Ink. It seemed that he had grasped more than twenty of the order locks.
When he saw Meng Xuan enter, Chen Zulu's eyes lit up. "How did you arrive so quickly?"
"Just like that." Meng Xuan replied before turning his attention to the first monolith.
It recorded an Order Lock called Withering Bloom Lock, and it was even more complex than the previous nine locks. Although Fuxi was ranked 72nd in the Three Thousand Order Lock, it only recorded the simple version. The order of the locks here, whether it was the runes or the way it was structured, were far beyond the first level.
"Heh, I'm about to finish comprehending it. As for the second layer, you've only just started. You can't surpass me." Chen Zulu sneered.
Meng Xuan looked at the Ku Rong Lock as a contemplative look appeared in his eyes. He then shook his head and muttered to himself, "The Ku Rong Lock doesn't seem to be suitable for saving Father's illness."
However, he would not give up on comprehending the Withering Bloom Lock. What he needed to do now was to prepare to completely comprehend all six hundred types of Order Lock. When you see it, regroup with each other and find the safest way.
It had taken Meng Xuan a full quarter of an hour to comprehend the Withering Bloom Lock.
Then, Bu Yuchan and the others also followed him down. Seeing the gap between Meng Xuan and Chen Zulu, all of them revealed smiles on their faces. Only Chunyu and Meng Qiu had a hint of worry in their eyes, but it was hidden very well and no one could discover it.
"Look, the gap is widening. Chen Zulu is already walking towards the sixteenth piece."
"Meng Xuan is only at the second piece. At this rate, it will take him until tonight to enter the third layer!"
"The two of them are on completely different levels. Meng Xuan only got lucky after passing the test."
Chunyu Meng Qiu swept his gaze over them. He realized that the one who was speaking was none other than the person called Li Fan.
The second level of the Order Lock was a little difficult for Meng Xuan, but it was still far from enough. He had only comprehended the second monolith for a quarter of an hour. He continued on to the third block. This time, it was even faster. It only took him thirty breaths of time.
"Holy shit, what's going on?"
"Impossible, right? Why is it happening faster and faster?"
"I deliberately tried to mystify things, but I didn't manage to comprehend the first two. It's something else entirely." Chen Zhui's voice was deep.
When everyone heard this, they felt that it made sense. Even Pure Jade Meng Qiu felt that Meng Xuan was trying to be brave.
As for Meng Xuan, he turned a deaf ear to all these as his speed became faster and faster. In next to no time, he'd arrived at the fifteenth stone tablet. There was an Order Lock on it.
"Soul imprisoning lock is able to trap the soul. If it is used as a divine ability attack, it can trap the soul of an opponent for three breaths of time! If one was powerful, they would be able to forever trap the soul. But there are also disadvantages to this. If one does not comprehend it well, the moment the soul is trapped, the other party's soul will shatter and die! " The words written on it made Meng Xuan's breathing quicken as if he had been struck by lightning.
Although the Soul-Trapping Lock was unable to completely free Meng Tianji, it was absolutely able to stabilize his soul and prevent it from slowly dissipating.
To him, this was the most important Order Lock.
Therefore, he carefully tried to comprehend it, not wanting to miss even the slightest detail as he repeatedly tried to comprehend it. This meditation session lasted for six hours. At this moment, Chen Zulu had already reached the eighteenth stone tablet.
A smile appeared in Chen Zulu's eyes. "Meng Xuan, let's see how you're going to fight me now. I only need two hours to comprehend and enter the third level!"
Meng Xuan didn't even bother to pay attention to Chen Zulu. All of his thoughts were on the Soul-Trapping Lock.
An hour passed and Meng Xuan still hadn't left. Unconsciously, his hands began to form seals. He continued to simulate.
The smile on Chen Zulu's face grew wider and wider. The jeers from the crowd grew louder and louder.
"Look, you've encountered a bottleneck, right?"
"I'm stuck, I'm at the end of my wits."
"He's only at this level, yet he's still challenging Chen Zulu. He's simply courting death."
Meng Qiu clenched her beautiful hands, feeling nervous. She discovered that her thoughts had changed. She realized that she cared a lot about Meng Xuan.
What's wrong with me? Chunyu Mengqiu slapped his face, a little angry with himself for doing this.
After another quarter of an hour passed, Meng Xuan opened his eyes. A bright light flashed across his eyes as he spat out a mouthful of foul air. He strode towards the sixteenth stone monument, paused for twenty breaths, and then walked away.
The seventeenth piece, twenty breaths.
Chen Zulu was stunned. Bu YuChan was stunned. Li Fan was stunned as well.
So fast?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Cold sweat appeared on Chen Zulu's forehead. He himself had been stuck in a bottleneck and was unable to advance for a long time.
Meng Xuan stood shoulder to shoulder with him as he glanced at Qin Wentian, "Is that alright?"
Chen Zulu's expression was grim. "Meng Xuan, I refuse to believe that you've comprehended all of the order locks on these monuments. It was merely deliberately mystifying."
Meng Xuan smiled but didn't say anything. He glanced at the 18th stone monument and instantly understood what was going on. Then he walked to the entrance to the third floor.
This entrance was also a light barrier, but it was even larger.
Meng Xuan raised his right hand. The first stone tablet began to glow, then the second. It was as if there was a chain reaction. The eighteen stone tablets erupted with a shocking brilliance as they poured into his right hand.
He raised his hand to the sky, turning it into a bright sun. It was bright and resplendent to the extreme. Standing there, he was slender and thin, but his body was like a towering mountain, impassable! An aura that was difficult to come by rose from his body, as if he was the king of this world!
Boom!
He punched out with the most domineering force he could muster, shattering the entrance and stepping into the third floor!
The scene turned silent, and then an earth-shattering explosion followed: "How is this possible!"
"Meng Xuan actually did it!"
"Is he a monster? How can he be so fast?"
Meng Qiu looked at Meng Xuan's departing back, his eyes shining with an indescribable light.
Chen Zulu's face was ashen, his face incomparably pale.
He didn't think that he would be defeated so thoroughly by Meng Xuan. He had no strength to fight back.
"Meng Xuan! I will definitely kill you! " Chen Zulu growled and lowered his head, the killing intent in his eyes thick to the extreme.
He no longer had the face to continue staying here. The 18th piece had already reached a bottleneck and he was unable to comprehend it. He was ready to go away as he thought of this.
However, just as he took a step forward, a clear shout rang out: "Wait!"
Chunyu Mengqiu looked at Chen Zulu with a calm expression, "You're prepared to leave just like that? The bet you promised him has yet to be fulfilled. "
"Hmph, I didn't say I was leaving. I'm just waiting here for him." Chen Zulu felt even more displeased. To be angry at Meng Qiu, he definitely did not have the guts to do so.
Many people couldn't even enter the third level, so they could only wait on the second level until Meng Xuan came out.
From their point of view, Meng Xuan should be out soon. However, two hours had passed and he still hadn't come out yet.
Li Fan pondered for a moment before speaking with a hint of fear, "This Meng Xuan … Could he be breaking through the third floor? "
"Impossible! Even if it's an inner court disciple, it's impossible to break through the third floor in one day!"
"That's right, there are thirty-six kinds of order locks on display. Even if it's the inner sect disciples, they would need three months to completely comprehend them, or maybe even longer."
This wait took another half a day. Fortunately, everyone here was a cultivator and they had enough patience.
Bu Yuchan also wanted to see what kind of level Meng Xuan could reach.
Just as everyone was in a daze, a huge explosion resounded throughout the entire Martial House! It was like a thunder god standing tall in the clouds, erupting with monstrous rage and destroying the world!
"What is that sound?" Chen Zulu was shocked, but in the next breath, his expression changed greatly!
This was because a deafening sound once again rang across the sky.
Dong, dong, dong!
It was a terrifying ringing sound, and every sound contained a power that could split the heavens and split the earth! An illusory dark green bell appeared in the skies above the Martial Saint's Mansion. It was simply too enormous, enveloping the entire space and crushing the entire sky. As the bell's sound rang out, the golden ripples spread out in all directions. It was boundless as it shattered the clouds in the sky!
The huge bell cut across the sky, cutting off the heavens and earth, as if it wanted to split apart heaven and earth. Countless beams of grandmist light broke through the heavens, pouring into the river of stars.
Jiang Yifan suddenly stood up, and when he saw this, his eyes were filled with shock. "The fourth level. Someone has entered the fourth level, and is attacking the Primal Beginning Golden Bell!"
"The Primal Beginning Golden Bell! Who is this? Who dares to attack the Primal Beginning Golden Bell!"
"I wonder which academy's gorgeous disciple this is, to actually want to contact me about the Talisman of the Primal Beginning Golden Bell!" Yan Su looked at the giant golden bell above and envy appeared in his eyes.
The shock and awe in Chen Zulu's eyes did not dissipate as he said, "Jin Zhong, with your courage, even my brother was only able to strike once and was seriously injured! Who exactly is it? "
