The Great Wall

Led by Zhao Youde, the three of them soon arrived at the Badaling Great Wall.

Looking at the Great Wall, which seemed to connect heaven and earth, and feeling the immense power it contained, not only Shanna, but even Bell was so shocked that he was speechless for a long time.

Although Bell had been to the Great Wall in his previous life, that Great Wall was not covered with dense arrays of magic.

To be honest, Bell was a little scared at this moment. Feeling the seemingly world-destroying power emanating from the Great Wall before him, Bell hesitated; he dared not go up!

The last time I had this feeling was when Bell held the Philosopher's Stone.

However, the Philosopher's Stone is merely a magic conversion device. Although the magic within it is immense, it is far less awe-inspiring than the Great Wall before one's eyes.

Looking at the brother and sister standing there dumbfounded, Zhao Youde revealed a wicked smile.

Ever since he met the Bell family, Bell had always appeared calm and composed in his eyes. Even when he was unexpectedly attacked by the Thunderclap Talisman, Bell's expression didn't change at all.

This sometimes makes Zhao Youde even forget Bell's age and treat him as a peer.

Now, seeing Bell's shocked expression, Zhao Youde felt a strange sense of satisfaction.

"Haha, let's go, I'll take you to visit the Great Wall. This is the masterpiece that our China Cultivator are most proud of. You can't come to China without climbing the Great Wall at least once."

As he spoke, Zhao Youde grabbed Bell's arm and prepared to lead him forward.

"Etc!"

Bell stopped Zhao Youde's actions.

"Are you sure we can really get up there? Are you sure we won't be instantly reduced to ashes once we get up there?"

Bell asked nervously.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Can't you see how many tourists are up there?"

Zhao Youde rolled his eyes speechlessly.

While the Great Wall is indeed a bit... well, very dangerous, it doesn't mean it will attack people indiscriminately.

"But those people don't have any spiritual energy!"

Although the Crisis Perception Earring did not warn him, Bell's instincts were screaming for him to get away from the Great Wall immediately.

Judging from his younger sister's tight grip on his little hand and her inexplicable silence since earlier, it was clear that Shanna shared the same feelings as him.

Zhao Youde glanced at the Bell siblings strangely. He noticed that their reaction seemed a bit extreme. Both of them were frighteningly pale.

Zhao Youde thought for a moment, then asked Bell, "After your entry application was approved, you should have received a token, right? Someone should have told you that you had to wear that token with you at all times while on the plane, right?"

Bell and Shanna nodded in unison.

When Shanna received that token, she played with it curiously for a long time.

Bell also examined it with curiosity. However, fearing he might break it, he didn't take it apart, and naturally didn't figure anything out. In the end, he could only remark that the Cultivator in China were quite old-fashioned.

"Where's that token? Didn't you bring it with you?"

Zhao Youde continued to ask.

"Um, I put it away after entering the country because I was afraid of losing it."

"Could there be some hidden meaning behind that token? I don't see anything special about it."

Bell was puzzled.

He had indeed considered that the token might be more than just proof of identity. However, after failing to sense any magical fluctuations from it, he abandoned that idea.

"Take it out and put it on quickly."

Zhao Youde urged.

"That token is the pass to the Nine Provinces Guardian Array. Without that token, you will be attacked by the Nine Provinces Guardian Array."

"..."

Bell rarely agreed with his father's point of view. The Cultivator ' hospitality was just too poor!

So when you hand over the token, couldn't you have spent a little more time explaining its purpose? One wrong move and someone could die!

And why didn't my own parents remind me?! Am I even their biological child?!

Bell began to assess the possibility that "he and Shanna were actually picked up from a trash can by their parents."

Actually, Bell misunderstood William and Elena.

Unlike the Bell siblings, the couple didn't have a guide like Zhao Youde when they traveled. Furthermore, they knew absolutely nothing about the Great Wall. So, after sensing an ominous aura from afar, they didn't even approach the Great Wall.

"Brother Youde, so do Cultivator in your China usually carry such tokens with them? Don't you find it inconvenient?"

Bell took two tokens out of his suitcase. To be honest, the tokens were quite large; Bell felt they wouldn't be very convenient to wear, and he hadn't seen any similar tokens on Zhao Youde.

After putting one on Shanna, Bell picked up the other one and examined it closely.

"Hmm... I still can't see anything special about it."

No matter how Bell looked at it, it was just an ordinary wooden token. Only the text written in red ink on the front gave it an air of mystery. But that was all.

Bell, who had no knowledge of ancient China characters, didn't know what they were. He wasn't even sure if they were a writing system at all.

"No, we don't need to wear these tokens."

Zhao Youde explained proudly.

"Any Cultivator born within the Nine Provinces Guardian Array will have their spiritual power sensed and registered by the array at birth. Afterward, as long as they do not recklessly attack the array, they will not be attacked by it."

Bell nodded knowingly.

The moment he took out the token, the unease he felt vanished. Surprisingly, even though Bell was staring intently at the token in his hand, he couldn't detect anything amiss.

The Nine Provinces Guardian Array truly lives up to its name!

Meanwhile, Bell pondered for a moment why the Crisis Perception Earring hadn't given him any warning. He figured it might be because he hadn't actually encountered any danger.

Because if he doesn't actively approach the Great Wall, the formation won't actively harm him.

Perhaps the earrings will warn him the moment he steps onto the Great Wall? But by then it will be too late.

After this not-so-small incident, Bell and Shanna's trip went smoothly without any further setbacks.

After visiting famous historical sites such as Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven Badaling Great Wall, the Temple of Heaven, the Summer Palace, the Old Summer Palace Ruins, and the Ming Tombs, Bell took his sister to various famous restaurants and food streets in Beijing to enjoy authentic Hua Country Cuisine.

Before we knew it, another week had passed, and this enjoyable trip to China had come to an end.
