Chapter 647 Heaven Watching Mirror
On the Hongyuan Continent, the warfare among the three races grew increasingly intense as time passed.
Initially, the three races merely seized territories separately, but it evolved into the three races fighting fiercely to contend for territory.
For a time, beacon fires rose on all sides across the Hongyuan Continent. To survive, the hundred races had no choice but to join the conflict of the three races, becoming their vassals and beginning to campaign against one another.
As Demon Gods from all three sides continuously fell in battle, the three great experts—the Dragon Ancestor, Phoenix Ancestor, and Qilin Ancestor—also began to enter the fray and clash.
Once the three ancestors made their move, the entire Hongyuan Continent was struck until the heavens collapsed and the earth split.
Even Chu Feng, who was far away in the Wendao Sect, felt the residual might of the three ancestors clashing. He thought to himself: These three fellows are not as strong as the rumors claim; if I were to make a move, I could certainly suppress them across cultivation realms.
After sensing the power of the three ancestors, Lu Ming, Chu Yan, and Xian He—the three little fellows—immediately sought out Chu Feng. They bowed respectfully and said: "We pay respects to Master."
"Why have the three of you come to find me instead of cultivating?"
Looking at the trembling appearance of these three disciples, Chu Feng felt an impulse to give them a beating. As my disciples, they were actually frightened by the residual might of others' battle; if this were to spread, would it not completely disgrace Chu Feng's name?
Chu Yan said: "Father, those three ancestors will not fight their way here, will they?"
"So what if they fight their way here? Have I not told you that even if they come, I can suppress them?"
As Chu Feng spoke to this point, his face suddenly darkened.
Chu Yan hurriedly explained: "Father, you did say that, but I am worried that if we do not do something, by the time the three ancestors finish fighting, the living beings on the entire Hongyuan Continent will be reduced by more than half. Our Wendao Sect will then be unable to recruit disciples and cannot grow."
Chu Feng asked with great interest: "Are you really not afraid, kid, but worried that we will not recruit disciples?"
"Absolutely."
Chu Yan dared not say that he was frightened.
Chu Feng smiled and said: "What you say is not without reason, but our Wendao Sect has always only recruited prodigies. If one cannot survive the struggle of this great era, then one cannot claim the title of prodigy. Perhaps when the great war is over, our Wendao Sect will be able to grow once more."
"Father, your words are reasonable; it was I who worried too much."
Chu Yan said with a smile.
Chu Feng rolled his eyes at this kid: "Do you think I do not know what you are thinking? Fine, I have a treasure here that can observe the world. If you are worried, you can guard beside this treasure every day and watch this spectacular, world-shaking war."
"Father, you have such a treasure in your hand?"
Chu Yan looked at Chu Feng with a face full of astonishment and asked.
"Look at your unpromising appearance; it is just a Heaven Watching Mirror, not something significant."
As Chu Feng spoke, he waved his hand, and a bronze mirror five feet wide and nine feet tall appeared before Chu Yan.
This Heaven Watching Mirror was a holy artifact Chu Feng brought out from the Holy Court; it can view every corner of the Hongyuan Continent to better locate prodigies.
However, Chu Feng had always preferred to let things take their course, so he had never used this mirror; today, it finally served its purpose.
Before he left, he seemed to think of something and said: "When you observe the world, if you see anything shocking, do not forget to tell me."
"Father, rest assured, I will absolutely not miss a single detail." Chu Yan patted his chest and guaranteed.
"There is no need for such trouble; if the three ancestors fight too fiercely or approach our Wendao Sect, just let me know."
After speaking, Chu Feng turned and left, leaving the three little ones standing there, casting their gazes toward the bronze mirror. Unfortunately, there was nothing inside the bronze mirror.
After a good while, Chu Yan suddenly slapped his head 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 the distance: "Three junior brothers, what are you looking at?"
Hearing the voice, the three immediately turned their heads and said in unison: "Senior Brother Ji, you have come. Master gave us a mirror and said it can view the entire Hongyuan Continent, but we cannot activate this mirror."
Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Ji Jiuwu's face: "Junior brothers, for the treasures Master bestows, we naturally use spiritual power to activate them. Let me broaden your horizons first."
"Senior Brother, please."
The three hurriedly made way.
Ji Jiuwu walked before the Heaven Watching Mirror and immediately activated his spiritual power. Before long, the scenery around the Wendao Sect appeared on the Heaven Watching Mirror. He then shifted his thought, and the scene of the Long River Tribe appeared in the Heaven Watching Mirror.
"Senior Brother, you were right."
Chu Yan said with a face full of excitement.
Ji Jiuwu withdrew his spiritual power and said: "With my cultivation at the third layer of the Spirit Nurturing Realm, I can only activate this Heaven Watching Mirror for a moment. If we wish to observe the world, a group of fellow disciples must take turns injecting spiritual power."
"Let me try as well."
As Chu Yan spoke, he immediately injected spiritual power into the Heaven Watching Mirror. Before long, the scene of the Water God Tribe emerged in the Heaven Watching Mirror. Looking at this tribe, he murmured: "The aura here feels wrong to me; I had better switch to another place to look."
Before long, the scene of the Fire God Tribe appeared on the Heaven Watching Mirror, and then it shifted to the Sky Fire Tribe.
"Eh... why does my Sky Fire Tribe appear in the bronze mirror?"
Jiang Yan's voice suddenly reached the ears of everyone present. When everyone heard this voice, they immediately explained the situation to Jiang Yan.
"Master actually possesses such a treasure; this way, we can pay attention to our tribe while in the mountains." Jiang Yan murmured after listening.
"Indeed."
Ji Jiuwu said: "Master's strength is truly not something we can reach. In the future, let us cultivate beside this Heaven Watching Mirror and take turns observing the world; how about it?"
"Agreed."
Jiang Yan agreed without hesitation; he was also worried that something might happen at home. Now that he had the Heaven Watching Mirror, he would not need to constantly worry about his home.
For the next few days, after finishing their cultivation every morning, everyone would come to the Heaven Watching Mirror to observe the general situation of the world.
"The Fire God Tribe was actually destroyed by the Black Dragon God."
Seeing the Fire God fall from within the Heaven Watching Mirror, Jiang Yan felt incredibly fortunate to have become a disciple under Master. Otherwise, he would probably have died in battle along with the destruction of the Fire God Tribe.
But soon, his expression changed; the Black Dragon God appeared in the sky above the Sky Fire Tribe, and Jiang Yan's face changed abruptly.
Seeing this scene, Ji Jiuwu, who was at the side, quickly comforted him: "A-Yan, there is no need to worry. With Master's divine statue present, the Black Dragon God cannot harm the Sky Fire Tribe."
At the same time, within the Sky Fire Tribe, all the human cultivators saw the Black Dragon God hovering in the sky along with a host of flood dragons. One by one, they felt as if the end of the world had arrived.
When the Clan Leader and the Grand Priest saw this scene, their hearts turned completely cold. Just a few days ago, after learning the news of the Fire God Tribe's destruction, they had already begun arranging personnel to prepare to move away from this place.
But before they could start the relocation, the Black Dragon God brought a host of flood dragons to besiege their Sky Fire Tribe.
The Grand Priest asked: "Have the children in the clan been arranged for transfer?"
"It has been arranged, but whether they can escape the encirclement of these dragon races is unknown." The Clan Leader said with a grave expression.
"Regardless, we can only do our best and leave the rest to fate. Let us go; we two old bones shall now make a final struggle."
The Grand Priest's voice had just fallen when the Black Dragon God's voice came from the sky: "Why do you not come out quickly to accept death? Do you intend for this god to act personally?"
As the words fell, countless humans emerged from their homes, kneeling on the ground and continuously kowtowing: "Dragon God, please spare our lives, Dragon God, please spare our lives!"
"Hmph!"
The Black Dragon God snorted coldly: "This god conquers in all directions, yet only your tiny Sky Fire Tribe dared to kill the flood dragons under this god's command; you deserve death!"
As the words fell, he spat out a stream of black flame from his mouth, descending toward the Sky Fire Tribe.
Seeing this scene, all the humans on the ground revealed expressions of fear and unease on their faces. The same thought emerged in all their minds: it is over, we are all finished this time!
Just as the black flame was about to fall, a ray of immortal light appeared. A towering figure walked out from the immortal light, casually pointed a finger at the Black Dragon God in the sky, and shouted: "Slash!"
As the words were spoken, the law followed, and a sword light shot forth from that figure's fingertip.
Wherever the sword light passed, the black flame retreated and scattered.
Seeing this scene, a terrified expression appeared on the Black Dragon God's face. This aura and this level of strength reminded him of the three ancestors.
"Impossible, why would there be someone as powerful as the three ancestors here..."
Before the Black Dragon God could finish the last two words, his body was pierced by the sword light, his divine soul perished, and he plummeted rapidly toward the ground.
Rumble!
Accompanied by a loud noise, the Black Dragon God's corpse smashed a massive pit into the earth. For a time, within a radius of a hundred miles, all was silent...
