Chapter 886: Ancient Mirror

The bronze ancient sword, originally thought to be an antique, turned out to be a heavy artifact after its mysterious veil was lifted, leaving him somewhat astonished.

This item was extremely rare. Throughout the entire Tianyang Continent, since ancient times, no deity had appeared for hundreds of thousands of years. It could be said that heavy artifacts interwoven with rules had long been worn away by time, yet this one still existed.

If this ancient sword were to be auctioned off in the Tianyang Continent, it would cause the sacred lands to fight over it. Although its rules were nearly dissipated, a supreme figure could still restore it, albeit requiring time.

Yang Tian never expected to discover a heavy artifact in such a place. It surprised him, and his mind could not calm down for a long time.

At this moment, his eyes fell on other items. He quickly searched and finally locked onto a bronze mirror, also cracked, with fissures on its surface.

Yang Tian flicked his finger, and a beam of golden light shot into it. The ancient mirror instantly revived, and a terrifying aura burst forth, causing the entire castle to shake as if on the verge of collapse.

The Red-robed Archbishop was scared half to death, his soul nearly exploding, feeling that the ancient mirror could sink the Earth!

The ancient mirror floated in the sky, exuding a terrifying aura, emitting waves like a mountain torrent. The heavens and earth trembled in fear. The mirror seemed to possess a kind of magic, as if it could swallow the heavens and the earth!

Yang Tian took a deep breath, then coughed and spat out a mouthful of blood. The use of his physical energy just now had caused the two energies that had calmed down inside him to seem on the verge of colliding, inflicting physical trauma.

“Brother Yang Tian, what’s wrong?” Qing Xiaoyue was startled and hurried over, her face full of anxiety.

“It’s nothing. My injuries haven’t healed yet.” Yang Tian shook his head slightly, but inwardly he was very shocked. Another one, even more terrifying than the last.

His gaze turned inward again, and he finally found a jade cup, shocking him to the extreme. What kind of terrifying figure was this, to have nurtured even a jade cup to such a dreadful level? It was just a drinking vessel.

The Red-robed Archbishop was completely convinced. This young man, after just a few glances, had discovered three terrifying treasures. Compared to the Book of Life and Death, these items were absolutely dreadful.

Yang Tian directly put away the three items and asked, “How did all these things come about?”

Although he had seen some memories earlier, they were incomplete. The Red-robed Archbishop had forgotten many things, but Yang Tian was extremely interested in them.

“Great god, most of these were sent by others, and a small part I bought at auctions,” the Red-robed Archbishop said devoutly, not daring to hide anything from the god, and also indicated that he knew many people who collected such items.

“Great deity, I am willing to repent and wash away all my sins,” the Red-robed Archbishop said with deep remorse, appearing to have achieved great enlightenment.

“Hmph, you’ll have to atone for your own sins. You know how many people you’ve killed,” Yang Tian snorted lightly.

“Hmph, you old bastard! Many of these things belong to our country, and you’ve looted them all!” Qing Xiaoyue showed him no kindness, snorting coldly.

“Great Chinese deity, this sinner wants none of these things. I return them all, every one,” the Red-robed Archbishop said regretfully.

“Alright then, take us to find the others. That way, you can wash away a little of your sin and suffer less punishment!” Qing Xiaoyue said fiercely.

“No problem, absolutely no problem. This sinner will lead the way immediately,” the Red-robed Archbishop said with a face full of regret.

Outside the castle, some of the Red-robed Archbishop’s servants were panicked. They had sensed something happening inside, filling them with fear, but they dared not enter, as doing so would surely result in death.

The servants stood cautiously. When they saw the Red-robed Archbishop come out, they were all astonished. The archbishop had been inside all along and rarely came out; today he actually emerged.

“Oh, what’s going on? Why is the archbishop so polite to two Chinese people?”

“I don’t know. I haven’t seen the archbishop so polite in years, personally seeing them off.”

“I’ve never seen them before. How did these two get in? Strange.”

Amid the strange comments around them, the archbishop tremblingly led them away. These were deities, deities forgiving his sins—how could he be negligent?

Yang Tian vaguely felt that in this place, in a very distant era, there had existed an unknown world. Wars raged, shaking heaven and earth, with the universe emerging to suppress everything.

It seemed like the Tianyang Continent: the splendor of ancient times, the unknown of the mythological era, terrifying to the extreme. From ancient to archaic to the present, the world could not produce deities.

Some great figures had once calculated that this world was perhaps undergoing a great era, one that might completely bury the cultivation world, leaving everyone unable to cultivate, the world failing.

Yet the White-clothed Supreme had astonishing ambition, plotting something unknown, suppressing all realms, draining and sealing away the energy of all realms, only now beginning to open it, slowly reviving, as if to recreate the world!

Supreme was a terrifying term. It was said they were the most fearsome beings in the world, rivaling the heavens, controlling all realms, unrivaled!

But to recreate and evolve the great universe was an immense difficulty. Whether the Supreme could succeed was unknown.

This place might be even more ancient, possibly tracing back to the mythological era. It might have been glorious to the extreme, but after great rise and fall, no one knew what had happened. Matters of the cultivation world were erased, leaving only some mysterious records, hard to verify.

Yet these remaining artifacts indicated the level of cultivation here, terrifying to the extreme. Ancient strong ones had refined artifacts, imitating the rules of heaven and earth, and they had not disappeared.

This was certainly a piece of ancient history, completely smoothed over, but the heavy artifacts left behind indicated a peak of glory. Then he acquired three, all very terrifying, with potential to evolve to the level of divine objects.

In the end, Yang Tian understood too little. What kind of figure was the Heavenly Emperor? Overlooking endless mountains and rivers, controlling all realms, the world was his. Could he compare with the Supreme?

In short, the world was changing. That Yang Tian could discover this place might be a fateful encounter. He felt as if he were about to touch a lost ancient history, drawing closer and closer. This might also be his place of enlightenment.

In a certain country, inside a sealed laboratory, three figures stared gloomily at the Red-robed Archbishop leading them away from the castle.

“This is impossible. They were clearly in China. How could they have come here, and be treated as honored guests by the Red-robed Archbishop?”

“Damn it! What is the Red-robed Archbishop up to? Is he rebelling?”

The three were furious. Yang Tian’s existence thoroughly threatened their positions. They felt this person possessed incredibly terrifying power.

“I’m going to use nuclear material to destroy them!”

“Are you crazy? That would wipe out the entire city, and over three hundred thousand people would die with them!”

“I’m not crazy. Him swaggering through the streets like this is an insult to us. They must die!”

“I agree. He has thoroughly threatened our nation’s security. Secretly activating nuclear material—no one will find out.”

“I disagree. This is a heinous crime. I disagree!” someone protested.

“Your disagreement doesn’t matter. I’ve already used the highest authority to launch the nuclear material. Then they, along with the Red-robed Archbishop, will disappear from here, turning to ashes with the entire city!” This person seemed mad, his face twisted.

“Damn you! You will face retribution! You will face retribution! God will not forgive you!”
