Golden Light Mirror

Back in the manor, the sky was still dark. Yuan Tiangang sat in Chu Xuanao's courtyard, waiting for His Highness to wake up. This matter required early planning. He had calculated too much tonight, necessitating many changes to his future strategies.

Considering Great Feng's invasion and the battle for Youzhou alone, the Youzhou situation could not wait until the end of the year. Arrangements had to be made as soon as possible. The arrival of this war was less than half a year away, and Great Feng's invasion was by no means a simple matter of thousands or tens of thousands of troops.

To secure the greatest benefits in this situation would be no less than snatching chestnuts from the fire.

Even with the yet-to-be-acquired Imperial Guards added, His Highness's forces numbered less than five thousand.

It was completely like throwing an egg against a rock.

He needed to go to the fiefdom as soon as possible. Hanshan Prefecture, a single prefecture, needed to be brought under control quickly. The prefecture's soldiers were also His Highness's overt main force.

Most importantly, he had to take down Shenying Marquis Manor, which was entrenched in Youzhou, as soon as possible. The forty thousand troops in the Youzhou Grand Camp were all under its command, stationed on the Youzhou border.

They were the main force of this war and could not be absent.

Besides Great Feng's invasion, the next concern was the malevolent stars. The Emperor Star, in this particular matter, could be set aside for now.

The major principal stars had not moved. The Ziwei Emperor Star had not even shown its face. If not for Yuan Tiangang's meticulous observation and repeated calculations, he might not have even known of this Ziwei.

Even the Tianji Star, which guarded the Ziwei, was hiding behind the scenes, not daring to reveal itself, sending only a pawn.

The one who appeared this time was merely a chess piece, a preliminary probe, and could not yet control the overall situation.

That Emperor Star was still waiting, waiting for the signs of chaos, waiting for the winds and clouds to change, waiting for the opportune moment to rise.

This hidden dragon would not act easily without certainty.

There was no opportunity to draw the dragon into the game this time. To make this fellow appear and enter the fray would require a heavy price, such as the original celestial phenomena of Youzhou. If Youzhou fell, Great Feng would enter Gan from the north, chaos would manifest, and all parties would move.

But would that work?

If His Highness's fiefdom were Taizhou, or some other prefecture, Yuan Tiangang might still be able to do something like that.

But the fiefdom was Youzhou, His Highness's fundamental base, and it absolutely could not be thrown into disarray.

Therefore, there was no chance to "play around" with this Ziwei this time. He had to use thunderous methods to stabilize Youzhou first.

After this war ended and Youzhou was brought into his grasp, occupying a region and gaining momentum, then he could consider how to capture this dragon. The path had to be taken one step at a time, with solid footing.

Otherwise, it would all be theoretical discussion, castles in the air, like a tree without roots.

Yuan Tiangang's sole concern from beginning to end was the Ziwei Emperor Star. This Emperor Star was extraordinary, secretly gathering power. It now had the eight principal stars accompanying it, and its dragon-like aura had formed. It was all happening stealthily, and no one knew.

It was lurking at the bottom of the abyss, extremely patient, hiding too well, with too deep a scheme.

Yes, this child must not be kept alive.

Once the Youzhou matter was resolved, the first person to deal with would be this fellow.

By the time dawn broke and the maids in the courtyard were busy preparing, Yuan Tiangang was still sitting in the courtyard, contemplating how to best handle the Youzhou situation to achieve the greatest benefit with the least cost.

He occasionally used his right hand to count on his fingers, calculating, presumably deducing something.

The maids passing by saw no sign of him. Yuan Tiangang concealed himself with the power of heaven and earth. Below the Heavenly Being Realm, no one could detect him.

Chu Xuanao woke up in the morning. After bathing and changing, he began to pray to the heavens.

"I hope all the gods and Buddhas will grant me some face."

Looking at the new month's lottery draw in the System, he silently thought, "System, draw."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for a successful lottery draw, obtaining a set of Divine Weapon Golden Light Mirrors."

A Divine Weapon, awesome.

Seeing that he had drawn a Divine Weapon, Chu Xuanao was overjoyed. The treasure of Mount Bingwu, famous throughout the martial arts world, only had one Divine Weapon. He now had two, making him richer than Mount Bingwu.

When weapons reached the Divine Weapon category, their value was immeasurable. At least one Divine Weapon was worth far more than his Prince of Qin manor.

A weapon possessing the might of heaven and earth was the power of a Celestial Phenomenon Realm expert. In the martial arts world, the Ascension Realm was the peak of power. The Celestial Phenomenon Realm were living fossils, ancestors. Even within the Imperial Clan, Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts were considered ancestors.

The Imperial Clan certainly had Divine Weapons, but one could count them on their fingers.

He had struck gold. He knew this lottery draw was the most profitable.

Once a month, punctually.

No cost, long-term profit.

Guaranteed profit, definitely no loss.

If one was lucky, they could double their gains.

But why was it a set?

Did it need to be assembled to count as a Divine Weapon?

[Set of Golden Light Mirrors, main mirror Golden Light Mirror (ranked as a Divine Weapon).

Golden all over, like a golden sun, hence the name Golden Light Mirror.

Belonging to the Metal element, it possesses immense offensive power, its attacks incomparably sharp, like clashing spears and horses. In combat, it primarily uses golden light, mirror images, and the sharpness of metal to attack, making it difficult to fathom.

It is also the core of this set. (Note: No responsibility will be taken for loss.)

It can also communicate with the auxiliary mirrors via the main mirror, connecting to various mirror images to achieve long-distance video calls.

There are ten auxiliary mirrors, which can be called Small Golden Light Mirrors, ranked as Famous Weapons. (Note: These items are relatively fragile, please protect them carefully.)]

It only connects the main mirror to other auxiliary mirrors, enabling effective long-distance communication between all parties. It is merely a medium and has no offensive or defensive capabilities.

Usage: Activate with True Qi.

After reading, Chu Xuanao understood. The Divine Weapon Golden Light Mirror only had one main unit capable of attack, but it could connect to auxiliary mirrors for communication, essentially acting as a video conferencing device and relay station.

The main mirror could communicate with all auxiliary mirrors, while other auxiliary mirrors could only communicate with the main mirror. For auxiliary mirrors to communicate with each other, they had to go through the main mirror first, similar to some landline telephones.

'I am Gao Yuliang from the Provincial Party Committee, connect me to the Luzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau.'

Once activated by him, it would be like:

'I am Yuan Tiangang from Heaven Beyond Heaven, connect me to Zhu Wushi of Dragon Guard Manor.'

However, this was also good. The summoned individuals could be trusted, but there were only two summonings per year.

This item could not be exclusively kept for the summoned person; it would also be given to the talented individuals recruited in the future.

With this item, he would know if the auxiliary mirrors communicated with each other, and he could also sense their locations through the main mirror.

As for the auxiliary mirrors, the so-called Small Golden Light Mirrors, they could only communicate. In fact, if they couldn't serve as a medium for video calls, they might just be ordinary mirrors.

They had no other function, could only communicate, and were quite fragile. They needed to be carefully protected, like a piece of fragile glass.

The main mirror could be given to the Ghost Servant to handle daily communications. For others, several auxiliary mirrors would need to be distributed to ensure the earliest possible awareness of major intelligence from all parties.

The reason for giving it to the Ghost Servant instead of keeping it himself was that this item had cultivation requirements. Even the Small Golden Light Mirror required at least the Transcendent Realm, a cultivation level achieved after undergoing body refinement, to be able to activate it for communication.

The main mirror, the Golden Light Mirror, was even more of a Divine Weapon, requiring at least an Ascension Realm expert to unleash its power.

In any case, he couldn't use any of them.

As Chu Xuanao's personal bodyguard, the Ghost Servant was always by his side, making him the most suitable person to entrust with this item.

Suddenly, Chu Xuanao's face showed shock. After a moment, he recovered and shouted.

"Xiao Dezi, summon Zhu Wushi and my maternal grandfather here."

Zhu Wushi and the others had already returned to the manor last night. With such a large batch of resources, the resource pressure on Dragon Guard Manor would be significantly reduced.

Those top-tier items were crucial for future development, expansion, and recruitment. Zhu Wushi should have been busy arranging these items in the manor these past few days.

Afterward, Chu Xuanao's expression turned solemn as he stood up and strode out. Qiuyue Shuangxue followed quietly by his side, not saying a word.

They also didn't understand what was happening with Their Highness this morning. One moment he was beaming, and the next he was surprised and solemn.
