Bell

The man who was flying in the sky suddenly disappeared and, in less than a second, reappeared in his hall.

Then a small amount of Qi emerged on one of his fingers.

He pointed towards the large gate of the hall and shot.

The concentrated Qi energy was released at an extreme speed, the large gate opened while the energy continued straight.

The concentrated Qi in just one second, left the giant majestic castle, and headed towards the top of the mountain, which was only second in height to where the castle was.

In another second, the Qi finally reached its goal, at the top of the enormous mountain was a completely gigantic bell. It would take thousands and thousands of people holding hands to be able to surround the bell.

Then…

'Bleeimmmm'

An extremely loud sound echoed from the mountain and traveled throughout the sacred land.

Those cultivating instantly stopped and looked at the mountain.

Then, just a few moments after the bell rang, dozens of lights passed in the sky at an extremely high speed towards the main castle.

"What's happening? Are we being attacked?" A boy spoke extremely fearfully to a crowd that was watching the bell ring.

Many people were discussing, and many had no idea what was happening.

Then a woman who was sitting on a nearby rock answered.

"This is the sect's emergency bell; it is only rung when the continent is under some threat. Judging by the strength of the sound just now, it's a rank 5 emergency, the highest there is."

"So, all the elders quickly flew to meet the leader of the sacred land; a rank 5 emergency doesn't happen in hundreds, no, thousands of years," she said with a somewhat calm expression.

But at that moment, calmness in the castle hall was nonexistent on anyone's face.

******************

"What happened? Are we being attacked by another of the Ten Forces?" An elder asked worriedly.

"Master, what do we do? Give your orders; we have to act quickly."

There were some elders talking non-stop, while others were waiting for their leader's words.

"Tsk, be quiet, I'll explain when you let me," the man sitting on the throne said, slightly annoyed.

"Sorry, leader."

The elders apologized and fell silent quickly.

"So, can I start now? Elder Zhang, who was in charge of protecting our disciples in the frozen abyss, sent me a message using his thunder eagle."

"In his letter, he said there were strange movements in the frozen abyss, a sound was echoing from the central area, and even from the internal area, they could hear it."

"The sound is like a beating heart, and he says it's extremely terrifying..."

When he was about to continue, he felt something coming at high speed again.

Everyone in the hall felt it shortly after the leader did.

This time, he waited, and soon the new thunder eagle appeared in the hall.

Then a red sheet of paper came out of the eagle, and a voice identical to Elder Xu's came from the paper.

"I am reporting to the leader; we canceled the tests for the disciples, and everyone is fine. The sound from the central area continues to spread, and it can already be heard from the entire external area of the frozen abyss."

"But most importantly, the beasts from the inner area are leaving their habitat because of the sound. They will reach outside the frozen abyss in a few days. I ask that the leader send reinforcements; probably an immense tide of beasts will assail the continent in a few days."

The voice then stopped, the red card turned white, and the leader of the sacred land pulled the paper with his Qi, and soon all the information was sent more detailed to his brain.

Everyone in the hall had a solemn expression; this news was not good at all.

"Listen, half of the elders follow me quickly to the frozen abyss. I'm not very concerned about the beasts; we'll just kill them if they come out of the abyss."

"The most important thing is to find out what's happening in the center of that place."

"The rest will stay here, protecting the sacred land, and don't let chaos spread. You can convey this news to your branches and disciples."

"Those who want to help or come for training will be free to do so. We will meet in two hours in the great sacred square," the man sitting on the throne said seriously.

"Yes, leader."

The elders responded and quickly left the hall to prepare.

…

When that little consciousness that knew nothing was released from its prison.

It began to explore everything around it; that is, the consciousness that emerged in that small being now roamed the entire ice mountain.

It was no longer just confined to its little body, and all the ice was like a small part of it.

The consciousness wandered through the gigantic mountain; below the ice mountain, it found many frozen animals that had been there for who knows how long.

A frozen forest was buried under that enormous ice mountain.

The small consciousness did not know what those things it was seeing were, but its curiosity led it to search the entire mountain for any traces it found interesting.

This went on for hundreds and hundreds of years until that consciousness, after exploring the entire ice mountain, became bored again.

In the entire gigantic mountain, there was nothing that would make it curious anymore, so it decided to go further…
