Chapter 175 The Six Gatekeepers of Floating Cloud Tower (Add to Vote)
Shu Yan pushed open the door of the Heart of Kindness, and everyone went inside together.
Behind the Gate of Kindness lies the interior of a towering pavilion, with rows upon rows of bookshelves lining all the walls, stretching as far as the eye can see, making it quite a magnificent sight.
The bookshelves were filled with a dazzling array of books, arranged in an orderly fashion, but the current Ye Luoli warriors had no idea what these books actually represented.
"My goodness, so many books..." Chen Sisi exclaimed, "They seem to stretch all the way to the sky."
"What exactly is Floating Cloud Tower?" Wang Mo asked, looking around curiously.
Shu Yan noticed the huge book placed in the center of the hall: "Perhaps asking it will give me the answer."
"Who?" Chen Sisi didn't understand Shu Yan's meaning, but following Shu Yan's gaze, she also noticed the huge book that was gleaming with golden light: "Such a big book?"
"It looks a lot like our contract," Zhuo Yan said thoughtfully.
"A message requesting the summoning of Fairy Xinling."
Shu Yan stepped forward and gently touched the large pink heart-shaped gem on the book cover. The next moment, the book emitted a dazzling light and then began to turn the pages.
“Each compartment holds a secret. Some secrets should be buried forever, some should be made public, and some should be returned to their owners…” As the familiar voice rang out, Xin Ling, still the size of a doll, descended from the sky, though she still looked lifeless.
"Manager!"
"Fairy Xinling!"
Upon seeing Xinling, the Ye Luoli warriors finally felt relieved.
“This is the Fairy Bank, Floating Cloud Tower,” Xin Ling continued, finishing her sentence.
"What? A bank?" The Ye Luoli warriors were all a little confused. "Is it a place where everyone stores their things?"
"When you enter this place, it will be the moment I disappear."
"There's no need to be sad. This was all my own choice." Xin Ling used her fairy power to conjure the key she had left behind. She gently stroked the key and said, "I have always used this key to guard all the secrets of the Fairy Bank and to keep the oath of the gatekeeper. But since I came to the human world, this place has been sealed for a long time. Now that I am gone, it is time for this place to be restarted."
Xinling raised her arms, and six beams of light landed on the hands of the six fairies, conjuring their magic staffs: "Besides inheriting my identity, you also need to use your power to revive this place."
"Because of my weakness, I can only use the sealing spell I cast at that time to divide my key into six and pass them on to you."
"You will inherit this place, become the gatekeepers of Floating Cloud Tower and Fairy Bank, master the secrets and magic left over from thousands of years, and keep your oath."
"Can we become gatekeepers?" The fairies looked at each other, knowing that being a gatekeeper for Floating Cloud Tower was an extremely important and significant responsibility.
"The Fairy Bank is of utmost importance. You must not be selfish and seize the Floating Cloud Tower for yourselves," Xin Ling instructed.
"Personally... can we trust Hei Xiangling and An Ling?" Liang Cai hesitated.
"Don't worry, I will definitely not tell the Queen the secret." Hei Xiangling was the first to speak up: "I am also very sad that Fairy Xinling's primordial spirit dissipated."
"I will also keep the secret and won't tell Mandora," An Ling echoed. Anyway, they weren't on Mandora's side, so it wasn't exactly a lie.
“Alright, then let’s follow Fairy Xinling’s will for now and trust you.” Shu Yan nodded.
"Every time the gates of Floating Cloud Tower are opened, all six keys must be used together. This is my last wish. Please repeat with me the oath of the gatekeeper of the Floating Cloud Tower Wonderland Bank."
Several fairies held hands and formed a circle, reciting the gatekeeper's oath together: "Ye Luoli magic, we voluntarily inherit the will of Fairy Xinling."
"Ye Luoli magic, life's affairs, the origin of all things, heaven and earth, spatial dimensions, space is infinite, emotions are finite."
"I, Zhuo Yan/Blue Peacock/Jasmine/Bright Color/Black Fragrant Ling/Dark Silk, inherit Xin Ling's will and become the gatekeeper of the Fairy Bank," the six fairies said with firm expressions.
"The magic of Ye Luoli is bounded by a square and a circle, passed down through blood sacrifice. The gate of kindness has a new key! Recite the oath of the Floating Cloud Tower with me."
After Xinling finished speaking, a miniature version of the Kindness Gate appeared behind her.
"We will never go against the wishes of those who store the data!"
"We will never go against the wishes of those who store the data!"
"The secret comes with me, and it will be sealed away with me!"
"The secret comes with me, and it will be sealed away with me!"
"Ye Luoli's magic!"
As the six fairies recited their vows, each of them emitted a burst of celestial power. The six streams of celestial power swirled together and entered the opened Gate of Kindness.
"The Gate of Kindness has received your kindness and will open for you!" The Gate of Kindness slowly closed and then disappeared.
As Shu Yan watched the ceremony performed by the six fairies and looked at the countless books all around, she still had this question: "What exactly is hidden in the Fairy Bank?"
