The bell tolls outside Changchun Hall, eighteen times for the departing soul within the cloud of dreams.
The so-called morning bell and evening drum usually holds no evil omen, but should the night bell toll, it speaks of impending doom.
Eighteen evening bell tolls within Changchun Sect signify a high-ranking elder's funeral, an event of the utmost importance. The eighteen tolls are believed to help the departed soul evade the eighteen layers of hell, dispatching it directly into the fairyland of cloud dreams, to enjoy eternal life.
Of course, this is merely a beautiful wish, a custom borrowed from the Longevity Sect. However, even for the Longevity Sect, it's impossible for any mortal mortal to evade the eighteen layers of hell and land directly in the fairyland of cloud dreams.
Arriving together with He Yingyu at the main peak's Changchun Hall, Chen Dengming spotted familiar faces like Li Yue and Liang Yunsheng already gathered.
