Chapter 425 Sky Bow

The elders were a little surprised. They had guarded the tower for nearly a hundred years and had never been allowed to go up, but now, because of other people, they were allowed to go up.

The elders felt a pang of regret, but none of them refused, as this was a rare opportunity to see the imperial treasure up close.

Led by the dean and vice dean, the group went up to the ninth floor. The tower door on the ninth floor was tightly closed, without a single crack, making it impossible to see inside from the outside.

The dean stepped forward, took out a round token, placed it into the recess of the tower gate, first turned it counterclockwise once, then clockwise once, and finally took out a porcelain bottle and poured a few drops of blood into the recess.

After all this was done, power emerged from the recess, flowing out from the circular depression and passing over the door. Only after the power disappeared did the door slowly open.

As the nine-story tower gate opened, everyone could clearly see the scene inside.

Although the ninth floor is closed year-round, it is not as dark as other closed places. Many precious pearls are embedded in the walls of the nine-story tower, and the shimmering light of those pearls illuminates the nine floors. However, upon entering the ninth floor, everyone saw something even more magnificent and dazzling than the pearls.

In the middle of the nine-story building, a longbow floats. The bow is white and carved with patterns. Upon closer inspection, the patterns are vines, which are lifelike and connected to the bowstrings at both ends. It is impossible to see where the bowstrings are bound or intertwined, as if they were a natural whole.

At this moment, the longbow trembled, releasing waves of spiritual energy. The spiritual light covered it, making it even brighter and more dazzling. Not to mention the elders who were seeing it for the first time, even Ye Qingshuang, who had seen many treasures, couldn't help but praise, "What a beautiful bow!"

The dean and vice dean smiled when they heard Ye Qingshuang's praise.

The vice dean smiled and introduced the bow to Ye Qingshuang: "The material of this bow is unknown, but its body is as white as the moon. Everyone who sees it is amazed by its beauty. Therefore, the ancestors of the empire named it 'Jingyue' (惊月). Jingyue is exquisite and beautiful, but it is not just an empty object that can be looked at. It is a treasure that is difficult to control."

The vice dean proudly said, "Since the founding of the Holy Yuan Empire, many experts from the empire and other empires have come to challenge and try to pull Jingyue, but those people couldn't even touch Jingyue, let alone pull it away."

"The Shocking Moon not only attracts powerful figures from Haizhou, but it is also rumored to have attracted the descendants of the gods. However, after the descendants of the gods saw the Shocking Moon, they saw that we valued it and did not take it away. Later, after the Guangyao Academy was completed, the royal family discussed and placed the Shocking Moon in the tower. Every ten years, the Shocking Moon will be sent out once so that students can see it and be inspired to cultivate."

"The Divine Descendants came to see it?" Ye Qingshuang originally just thought the bow was beautiful, but after hearing what the vice dean said, she had a guess in her mind: "Could it be that the Divine Descendants discovered the Spirit-Eating Insects when they came, but the Divine Descendants also had difficulty dealing with the Spirit-Eating Insects, so they did not take them away."

After Ye Qingshuang finished speaking, she looked at Ji Changrong and asked, "Am I right?"

After the Taiyuan Secret Realm, Ye Qingshuang learned Ji Changrong's identity. Although Lin Chengtian and Bai Jiu did not know that Ji Changrong was the divine son Bai Qingjue, they knew that he was a descendant of the gods. Upon hearing Ye Qingshuang's words, they all looked at Bai Qingjue.

Bai Qingjue nodded without changing his expression: "Indeed."

This bow is made of a special material; even he couldn't tell what it was. If those divine descendants saw it, they would never let it go. The only reason they didn't take it is because, as Ye Qingshuang said, this bow contains something they can't deal with.

If Bai Qingjue, as a divine child, said so, Ye Qingshuang felt even more certain that he was right. However, what they said caused the dean, vice dean, and others to change their expressions.

“Young lady,” the vice dean said, looking at Ye Qingshuang with displeasure, “the descendants of gods are extremely noble beings, so please refrain from speaking nonsense.”

"Huh?" Ye Qingshuang found it ironic and looked at the vice dean: "Is the reputation of the divine descendants really that good?"

The vice dean was unconvinced and wanted to refute, but before he could speak, he heard Ye Qingshuang say, "Whether it is or not, we'll know once we examine Jingyue."

"Heavenly Bow." After Ye Qingshuang finished speaking, Ling Yi said something.

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingshuang looked at Ling Yi, her tone puzzled: "What Heavenly Bow?"

Ling Yi looked at the bow in front of him and slightly raised his chin: "It."

"Huh?" Ye Qingshuang was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, but quickly realized what he meant and looked at Ling Yidao: "You mean it's called the Heavenly Bow?"

Ling Yi responded, "Mm."

Ye Qingshuang fell silent. Actually, she thought the name 'Tian Gong' was not as nice as 'Jing Yue'.

Although the name "Heavenly Bow" wasn't as pleasant as "Surprising Moon," it was more domineering—a simple and direct kind of domineering. Speaking of simple and direct, Ye Qing Shuang looked at Ling Yi thoughtfully…

This name sounds a lot like Ling Yi's style.

Could it really be that Ling and I were together?

If this is the case……

Ye Qingshuang clapped her hands: "I always thought the name Jingyue was bad. If it were called Tiangong, it would feel right, so powerful!"

Ling Yi looked at her with a half-smile: "Is that so?"

Ye Qingshuang nodded vigorously: "Yes."

Ling Yi: "Then why did you hesitate just now?"

Ye Qingshuang said seriously, "The name 'Heavenly Bow' is too domineering. I was just stunned."

The others: "..." When it comes to telling lies, no one can compare to her.

Ling Yi chuckled lightly, said nothing more, and turned to look at the Heavenly Bow.

The dean and the others then realized what they had just said and couldn't help but retort, "It's called 'Surprising Moon,' not 'Heavenly Bow.'"

Ling Yi and the others remained silent upon hearing this, leaving the dean and vice-dean somewhat embarrassed. Seeing this, the elders of the tower stepped in to ease the tension: "Gentlemen, you have already seen 'Jingyue,' and now you know whether Jingyue has any problems or not, right?"

"Hmm." Ling nodded and looked at Ye Qingshuang and the others: "Step back."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingshuang and the others immediately retreated obediently until they exited the ninth floor. They closed the two doors, leaving only a crack, and stood outside looking through the crack into the door.

Ling Yi glanced at the four heads sticking out from behind the crack in the door, and her lips twitched. She had told them to back up, but not that far.

Since things had already come to this, Ling Yi didn't intend to say anything more. He turned to look at the Heavenly Bow, and under Ling Yi's gaze, the Heavenly Bow unleashed even stronger power. As the power spread out layer by layer, a dark mouth appeared at both ends of the bow.

Everyone at Radiant Academy was shocked to see this.

Looking at the pitch-black mouth, a sense of foreboding rose in everyone's hearts. The vice dean quickly looked at Ling Yi: "What is that?"

The vice dean's tone was panicked. As the vice dean of the Imperial Academy, he was always able to keep his composure in the face of trouble. After all, if he couldn't keep things in order, wouldn't the people below be even more chaotic?

But now that it concerns the empire's most precious treasure, and is also related to the spirit-eating worms that they had never even heard of before, the vice dean could no longer remain calm.

"What's the panic?" the dean said to the vice dean, then looked at Ling Yi: "Miss Ling, can you handle this?"
