The fierce tiger forged from Pure Yang True Fire around Tang Xiaotang’s body thrust its claws into the summit of Biyou Immortal Mountain, yet did not inflict destruction upon the mountain as a whole.
As threads of golden flas flowed, in that mont, they seed to transform from the utmost strength and Yang into utter softness and Yin, seeping into the mountain rock.
Though Celestial Master Tang always went all out and bold in her duels of magic with foes, that did not an her supernatural powers and mana lacked a refined aspect entirely.
Whether she acted with abandon or precision all depended on how much she cared personally.
At that mont, the claws of the giant tiger of blazing golden light slid into the mountain rock like flowing water.
Later, the enormous fire tiger began to retract its claws, moving gently, not as swift and fierce as when it struck.
Yet the motion was deft, bringing forth a flickering, shadowy mist as the claws withdrew from the rock of Biyou Immortal Mountain.
The giant fire tiger unfolded its paw, revealing at its center an object lying quietly, which appeared outwardly to be a round mirror.
Ancient, unadorned patterns marked the fra encircling the mirror’s surface.
Lei Jun and Tang Xiaotang imdiately found it familiar at a glance.
Those archaic patterns inherited one vein with the Tao Containnt Talismans passed down the Mount Longhu Lineage.
Yet there were still so differences.
Despite its deep antique charm, the structure was fundantally distinct.
Though their traditions shared a common source, they had birthed divergent paths and growth.
Lei Jun recalled the myriad ancient tos he had browsed in the Edict Hall, and a flash of insight dawned in his heart,*This magic artifact... it’s very old. Although it too cos from our sect’s heritage, I’m afraid it was from back when...*
Tang Xiaotang glanced with interest at the ancient mirror atop her Yang Fire Tiger’s paw, and said cheerfully,"It’s certainly ancient, and the Tao Containnt Talismans differ greatly from ours nowadays. Could it be as Master ntioned, a magic artifact born before our Taoist Talisman Sect split for the first ti?"
In recent years, the Longhu Mountain Celestial Master Mansion suffered repeated internal upheavals, with countless casualties and the Mansion’s vitality severely damaged.
Yet long before, in history, the Mount Longhu Celestial Master Mansion’s lineage also once erupted in a fierce internal conflict—one that was now a distant past.
That sharp clash and ensuing civil war and division stemd from the Taoist Talisman Sect’s Rite of Reformation and return to its heritage.
Since that age was now truly remote, few spoke of it nowadays.
The Taoist Scriptures and Talismans before the Rite of Reformation were now long lost.
Fortunately, Lei Jun and Tang Xiaotang had both achieved remarkable cultivation and possessed high comprehension.
So, upon observing and pondering the ancient mirror, they instantly recalled the historical era.
If this mirror did indeed originate from before the Taoist Talisman Sect’s Rite of Reformation, then the artifact itself had already existed for thousands of years.
"The scattering and loss of the Celestial Master’s Three Treasures happened just within the last century or so. Before all three treasures were lost, no one ever drew out such hidden artifacts from Biyou Immortal Mountain."
Tang Xiaotang laughed, saying,"Was it caused by the recent shifts in the global spiritual energy veins at Mount Longhu, affecting the Supre Pure Thunder Mansion Cave Heaven and resulting in our current situation?"
She grew interested, dispersing the golden flas and studying the magic artifact attentively.
Lei Jun also stepped forward to study the treasure mirror.
He recalled the words that had appeared in the ti-globe when he drew lots,*Those words: ’Ti flows on, carrying the legacy of ancient and present.’ They lingered in my mind.*
With further scrutiny of the ancient mirror, a na surfaced in Lei Jun’s thoughts,
[Mysterious Void Mirror]
Lei Jun pondered for a mont in contemplation,*So that’s what it is.*
Beside him, Tang Xiaotang quickly lost interest,"I don’t like the function of this artifact."
Lei Jun replied,"Mm~~~ Actually, it’s pretty decent..."
"It’s yours, do as you wish." Tang Xiaotang said with so disdain, waving her hand.
Lei Jun beckoned, and the magic artifact shaped like an ancient mirror floated over to him.
As the ancient mirror flipped over, it revealed itself to be double-sided.
One side of the mirror was dim and shadowed.
The other side shone bright.
The dark side could aid cultivators in masking their forms.
The bright side, by contrast, was used for investigation and exploration.
Mysterious Void—one could shroud oneself in mystery, or probe the mysteries all around.
Aside from the Celestial Master’s Three Treasures that marked her identity, Tang Xiaotang rarely used magical treasures or magic artifacts.
*The artistic conception and function of this Mysterious Void Mirror just didn’t suit her taste at all.*
For Lei Jun, however, this artifact was quite appealing.
Whether used to scout opponents or conceal oneself, its quality was truly outstanding.
After reaching the Upper Three Heavens phase, Lei Jun had advanced the ’Night Wind’ Wind-Thunder Talisman into the transformation of ’Shadow Movent’ within the Heavenly Travel Talisman.
The Teng Snake Bone he often relied upon before had beco sowhat useless.
For Upper Three Heavens cultivators, unless one was at great distance, the Teng Snake Bone’s stealth would prove extrely limited.
Lei Jun decided not to wield the Teng Snake Bone for now, preserving it for slow refinent in the future, hoping it might yet be improved.
At present, Lei Jun needed new and suitable thods to further perfect his stealth, so that even a multitude of Eighth Heavenly Layer cultivators would struggle to detect his presence.
The Mysterious Void Mirror fit the bill perfectly.
"Only, it’s sowhat worn," Lei Jun observed the blurry treasure mirror,"After being buried and ward in the Supre Pure Thunder Mansion Cave Heaven so long, it’s still lacking."
Tang Xiaotang offhandedly said,"I guess you’ll need to seek out so unique heavenly materials and earthly treasures to restore it."
Lei Jun nodded.
He then began to use his own mana, attempting to nurture the treasure.
Yet, under contact with his mana, Lei Jun sensed certain ancient Tao Containnt within the Mysterious Void Mirror, faint signs of self-transformation erging.
*Handled properly, there would be no trouble in the future...* Suddenly, Lei Jun recalled the phrase inscribed in his best lot.
*It truly was the best lot, but from the words themselves, if I paid heed, then I’d walk a fate of supre luck free not only from present risks but future misfortune as well.*
