Chronicles of Primordial Wars

Gongjia Heng went inside the mountain while Shao Xuan left. He sat on a rock that had been shaped into a bench near the bell, thinking about what just happened.

Heng thought Shao Xuan had done it on purpose but Shao Xuan didn’t even know this was going to happen. The flames on the ornament came out on their own, Shao Xuan did not control them. It was more like an instinct from the clashes between different shamanic energies. When a threat was detected, it would automatically unleash a protective power, helping Shao Xuan block off the strong threat.

Perhaps this was what the ancestors meant by the protection of the ancestors.

Or, the flames on the ornaments were related to the Xia people’s shaman. The ornaments had such a response only because there was shamanic energy here.

The Xia people had left behind things related to their craft, likely inside that mountain. To stop outsiders from entering,  they set up many traps. The first obstacle was the peculiar eighteen statues.

However, compared to the Xia people’s shamanic arts, Shao Xuan was more curious about the powers within the bone ornaments left behind by his ancestor.s In the past, he only knew that the fire giant would appear during rituals. Just like in the fire pit. However, right now it looked like the giant didn’t just appear in the pit. The ancestors’ power was more powerful than he could imagine, it was obvious from how it blocked the force as threatening as knives exuding from the statues.

It was a battle between shamanic energies. Shao Xuan knew that if he stuck out till the end, he would be on the winning side. However, the consequences of forcing it would definitely be bad for everyone.

However, most of its power was still coaxed by Shao Xuan so it was not very strong yet.

However, if this situation continued, Shao Xuan would lose control over it again.

At least he had proven a point. There was no need to continue.

He slowly retracted his power of inheritance and the ornaments were no longer fed with power. The energies were retracted, while the flame giant turned into a ball of flames and disappeared into his bone ornaments.

The cloud patterns around him disappeared back into the walls.

Everything was calm once again.

On the other side, Heng was reading ancestral records after entering Gongjia Mountain. He was so overwhelmed by emotion that he cried, his eyes burning with admiration. However, he heard something. Was it the sound of the bell ringing?

The soundproofing here was good so he wasn’t sure if he heard something.

When he stopped to listen again, there was nothing.

Gongjia Heng wondered if he had made a mistake. It must have been Shao Xuan. But didn’t his elders say that outsiders could not make the bell ring? Or was that a misunderstanding?

Shaking his head, Gongjia Heng continued reading.

Then, he felt the ground shake.

Unless…

Did the kid force himself into the mountain?!
