Heaven-Observing Mirror
On the Hongyuan Continent, the war between the three races intensified over time.
Initially, the three tribes were merely vying for territory, but this eventually escalated into a full-blown war among them over control of land.
In an instant, war broke out across the Hongyuan Continent. In order to survive, the hundred races had no choice but to join the struggle between the three races, becoming their vassals and beginning to fight each other.
As Demon God from all three sides continued to fall in the battle, the three powerful figures— the Dragon Ancestor, the Phoenix Ancestor, and the Ancestor of the Qilin— also began to engage in combat.
When the Three Ancestors made their move, the entire Hongyuan Continent was devastated and its inhabitants were shattered.
Even Chu Feng, far away at the Dao Dao-Seeking Sect, felt the lingering power of the Three Ancestors' clash and thought to himself: These three guys aren't as strong as the rumors say. If I were to make a move, I would definitely be able to suppress them despite being above my level.
Upon sensing the power of the Three Ancestors, the three little ones, Lu Ming, Chu Yan, and Xian He, immediately found Chu Feng and respectfully bowed, saying, "We pay our respects to Master."
"Why are you three here to find me instead of cultivating?"
Looking at his three disciples' trembling appearance, Chu Feng felt an urge to beat them up. As his disciples, they were actually frightened by the residual power of someone else's battle. If word got out, wouldn't they completely lose face for him, Chu Feng?
Chu Yan asked, "Father, will the Three Ancestors come after us?"
"So what if they attack? Didn't I tell you that even if they come, I can suppress them?"
Chu Feng's face immediately darkened as he said this.
Chu Yan quickly explained, "Father, you did say that, but I'm worried that if we don't do something, after the Three Ancestors finish fighting, most of the living beings on the entire Hongyuan Continent will be gone, and our Dao-Seeking Sect won't be able to recruit any disciples and will be unable to grow stronger."
Chu Feng asked with great interest, "You're really not scared, but worried that we won't be able to recruit any disciples?"
"Absolutely."
Chu Yan dared not admit that he was frightened.
Chu Feng smiled and said, "What you said makes sense. However, our Dao-Seeking Sect has always only recruited geniuses. If they can't survive the Great War, then they can't be called geniuses. Perhaps after the war is over, our Dao-Seeking Sect will be able to grow stronger again."
"Father, you are right. I was just worrying too much."
Chu Yan said with a smile.
Chu Feng rolled his eyes at the boy. "Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? Alright, I have a treasure here that allows you to observe the world. If you're worried, you can stay by that treasure every day and watch this momentous, unprecedented battle."
"Godfather, you still have such a treasure?"
Chu Yan looked at Chu Feng with a face full of astonishment and asked.
"Look at you, so pathetic. It's just a Heaven-Observing Mirror, nothing special."
As Chu Feng spoke, he waved his hand, and a bronze mirror, five feet wide and nine feet high, appeared in front of Chu Yan.
This Heaven-Observing Mirror is a sacred artifact that Chu Feng brought out from the Holy Institute. It can see every corner of the Hongyuan Continent in order to better find the prodigies.
However, Chu Feng always preferred to go with the flow, so he had never used this mirror before. Today, it finally came in handy.
Before leaving, he seemed to remember something and said, "When you observe the world, if you see anything shocking, don't forget to tell me."
"Godfather, rest assured, I will not overlook a single detail," Chu Yan assured him, gesturing to his heart.
"There's no need for such trouble. If the Three Ancestors fight too fiercely, or if they get too close to our Dao-Seeking Sect, just let me know."
After Chu Feng finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving the three little ones standing there, their eyes fixed on the bronze mirror, but unfortunately, there was nothing in it.
After a long while, Chu Yan suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "Oh no, I forgot to ask Father how to use this bronze mirror!"
Xian He: "..."
Qing Song: "..."
Just then, Ji Jiuwu's voice came from afar. "Junior brothers, what are you looking at?"
Upon hearing the voice, the three turned around and said in unison, "Senior Brother Ji, you've arrived. Master gave us a mirror, saying it can show the entire Hongyuan Continent, but we can't activate it."
Upon hearing this, Ji Jiuwu smiled and said, "Fellow junior brothers, since Master bestowed this treasure upon me, we naturally use spiritual power to activate it. Let me show you first."
"Please, senior brother."
The three quickly made way for them.
Ji Jiuwu walked to the Heaven-Observing Mirror and then activated his spiritual power. Soon, the scene around the Heaven-Observing Mirror appeared on the Dao-Seeking Sect Mirror. He then changed his mind and the scene of the Long River Tribe appeared in the Heaven-Observing Mirror.
"You were right, senior brother."
Chu Yan said excitedly.
Ji Jiuwu withdrew his spiritual power and said, "With my Spirit-Nurturing Realm, Third Layer, I can only activate this Heaven-Observing Mirror for a moment. If we want to observe the world, all of us disciples must take turns injecting spiritual power into it."
"I'll give it a try too."
As Chu Yan spoke, he poured his spiritual energy into the Heaven-Observing Mirror. Soon, the scene of the Water God Tribe appeared in the Heaven-Observing Mirror. Looking at the tribe, he murmured, "The aura here feels off. I'd better go somewhere else to take a look."
A short while later, the image of the Fire God Tribe appeared on the Heaven-Observing Mirror, and then it shifted to the Heavenly Fire Tribe.
"Huh... why is my Heavenly Fire Tribe appearing in the bronze mirror?"
Jiang Yan's voice suddenly reached the ears of everyone present, and upon hearing it, they immediately explained the situation to Jiang Yan.
"Master actually possesses such a treasure. This way, we can keep an eye on our tribe from the mountains," Jiang Yan murmured after hearing this.
"Good."
Ji Jiuwu said, "Master's power is truly beyond our reach. How about we cultivate here beside the Heaven-Observing Mirror and then take turns observing the world?"
"Can."
Jiang Yan agreed without hesitation. He was also worried that something might happen to his family, but now that he had the Heaven-Observing Mirror, he didn't have to worry about his family all the time.
For the next few days, after finishing their morning cultivation, everyone would come to the Heaven-Observing Mirror to observe the world's affairs.
"The Fire God Tribe was actually wiped out by the Black Dragon God."
Jiang Yan saw the Fire God fall through the Heaven-Observing Mirror and felt extremely fortunate to have become a disciple of his master; otherwise, he would probably have died in battle along with the Fire God Tribe.
But his expression quickly changed. The Black Dragon God appeared above the Heavenly Fire Tribe, and Jiang Yan's expression changed drastically.
Seeing this, Ji Jiuwu quickly comforted him, "A-Yan, there's no need to worry. With Master's statue here, the Black Dragon God can't harm the Heavenly Fire Tribe."
At the same time, in the Heavenly Fire Tribe, all the Human Race cultivators felt that the end of the world was coming when they saw the Black Dragon God and a group of dragons circling in the sky.
The chieftain and the high priest were utterly disheartened by what they saw. Just a few days earlier, after learning of the destruction of the Fire God Tribe, they had already begun arranging for people to move away from this place.
But before they could even begin their relocation, the Black Dragon God, along with a host of dragons, surrounded and besieged their Heavenly Fire Tribe.
The high priest asked, "Have the children of the tribe been relocated?"
"It's been arranged, but whether they can escape the encirclement of these Dragon Clan is another matter," the clan leader said with a grave expression.
"In any case, we can only do our best and leave the rest to Heaven's Mandate. Let's go, let's make one last stand."
The high priest had barely finished speaking when the voice of the Black Dragon God echoed from the sky, "Why aren't you all coming out to face your deaths? Do you expect me to do it myself?"
As soon as he finished speaking, countless Human Race emerged from their homes, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing repeatedly, crying out, "Dragon God, spare our lives! Dragon God, spare our lives!"
"Snort!"
The Black Dragon God sneered, "I have conquered all corners of the world, and only your small Heavenly Fire Tribe dared to kill one of my dragons! You deserve to die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he spat out a stream of Hei Yan that fell towards the Heavenly Fire Tribe.
Human Race on earth who witnessed this scene showed fear and unease on their faces. The same thought flashed through their minds: It's over, we're all doomed this time!
Just as the Hei Yan were about to fall, a beam of celestial light appeared, and a majestic figure emerged from it. He casually pointed at the Black Dragon God in the sky and shouted, "Slash!"
Words became law, Dao Sword shot from the figure's fingertips.
Wherever the sword light touched, the Hei Yan dissipated.
Upon witnessing this scene, the Black Dragon God's face revealed a look of fear. This aura, this level of power, reminded it of the Three Ancestors.
"Impossible, why would someone as powerful as the Three Ancestors be here..."
Before the Black Dragon God could finish uttering the last two words, his body was pierced by the sword light, his soul perished, and he plummeted rapidly towards the ground.
Rumble!
With a deafening roar, the corpse of the Black Dragon God smashed a massive crater into the earth, and for a moment, all was silent for miles around...
