Chapter 405: Water Mansion Immortal Official (I)
Azure Pond Sect.
Azure Pond Peak was enveloped in swirling clouds and mist. Within the cave dwelling on the mountain, a dark golden bell with intricate patterns hung in the center. It was only rung upon the death of a Daoist Master or the ascension of a sect master.
Chi Zhiyun landed on the peak hurriedly, followed by a group of Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators. As soon as he landed, a tall young man approached, cupping his fist in greeting.
"Sect Master!"
"Hejing."
Chi Zhiyun waved his hand urgently, not stopping, and stepped into the stone cave, asking, "How is it?"
"The flame is dim and turned bright white… The lamp oil is rising, the nine lines are flickering. This has never happened before." Ning Hejing's voice was grave.
Chi Zhiyun's expression grew increasingly grim as he muttered, "Bright white…? How could that be?!"
He dismissed the others and quickly stepped deeper into the cave dwelling. Several soul lamps rested on lotus seats carved from wood, burning quietly.
