214: The Kunlun Mirror is actually a pool!

Clack, clack, clack, clack!

The massive, heavy bronze door slowly opened.

Through the gap, Qin Yang saw the scene inside the secret chamber.

Mysterious symbols adorned the surrounding stone walls.

In the center of the secret chamber was a clear pool of water.

The water's surface was as still as a mirror, and the watery reflections cast dreamlike images on the stone walls and ceiling.

Before this pool, a Holy Knight knelt, clad in silver-white armor.

His armor was carved with religious patterns symbolizing Holy Light.

Under the illumination of the rippling water, it emitted a soft glow.

The Knight's hands were clasped, his eyes gently closed.

His expression was serene and devout, like a statue.

The scene before him was dreamlike and holy.

Yet, Qin Yang smelled the stench of a corpse.

He swept his gaze, and the Knight's identity immediately appeared before him.

【Name】: Brun Rodrigues (Deceased).

【Race】: Human.

【Rank】: Level 151.

【Profession】: Crusader... The Holy Temple Knight Order Captain in the secret chamber had already become a corpse.

Qin Yang instantly became vigilant, covering the entire secret chamber with his Mental Energy to detect any potential dangers.

At this moment, Tina also smelled the stench of a corpse.

She turned to look at the secret chamber, and her whole body trembled violently, almost causing her to faint.

“Captain!”

John, standing nearby, let out a cry of grief.

The Holy Temple Knight Order Captain, the strongest Monarch Tier Professional.

He had died silently in the secret chamber!

The two Holy Knights were plunged into immense grief and bewilderment, standing still like wooden statues.

After a long silence, John finally roared in anger, “Damn it! Did the Pope do this!?”

“It shouldn’t be...”

Tina suppressed her tears and shook her head, saying, “The Pope doesn’t have permission to open the barrier. If he were to enter the secret chamber, I would definitely be present. The only one who could harm the Captain inside the secret chamber is me.”

“Then who was it...” John looked bewildered. He naturally wouldn’t suspect Tina and asked, “Did Captain Brun die by himself?”

Died by himself?

This question enlightened Qin Yang.

He looked at John and asked, “You said earlier that your Captain was in seclusion in the secret chamber, hoping to Breakthrough to the Emperor Tier?”

“Yes.”

The one who answered was Tina.

“The last person the Captain saw before going into seclusion was me. I personally watched the Captain enter the secret chamber and then close the door.”

“And from the fact that the barrier hasn’t been damaged, no one should have invaded the secret chamber.”

Qin Yang nodded silently and said, “Your Captain has already Broken through to Level 151, ascending to the Emperor Rank.”

“What!?”

Tina and John were stunned simultaneously.

Qin Yang didn’t explain his abilities and continued, “Unfortunately, an accident occurred during his Breakthrough.”

Qin Yang learned from Lin Xuan.

After Professionals advance to Monarch Tier,

most rely on meditation to gain experience.

Because at this Rank, there aren't as many monsters for them to farm.

And during the stage of Monarch Breakthrough to Emperor Rank,

they cannot rely on breakthrough orbs to advance.

They can only Breakthrough themselves through a sudden enlightenment, somewhat similar to cultivation and comprehending the Dao.

Just like Lin Xiaoer, who is currently traveling, exploring mountains and rivers, running all over the world, seeking to comprehend her “Sword Heart” to a higher level.

And according to what John said,

this Captain Brun wanted to obtain the guidance of Holy Light, which is why he went into seclusion in the secret chamber.

Now it seems that Holy Light should have given him guidance, but something went wrong in the process.

Qin Yang didn't intend to delve deeper into this.

At this moment, his eyes were fixed on only one thing: the pool of water in front of Brun.

He felt that the kunlun mirror was in the pool.

After confirming there was no danger in the secret chamber, Qin Yang and Tina walked in together.

Tina immediately went to Brun's side, wanting to understand his true cause of death.

Qin Yang, on the other hand, slowly walked to the side of the pool.

The water's surface was as still as a mirror, reflecting the faint candlelight.

Within it, an ancient aura emanated.

As if beneath the pool, countless worlds were connected.

Out of curiosity, Qin Yang reached out to touch the water's surface.

Instantly, ripples spread across the water.

Each ripple that spread out revealed a scene.

In it, Qin Yang saw the spirited young Qin Chuan, riding a horse and singing wildly, and the young Lin Xiaoer, who ran away from home because she didn't want to practice swordsmanship.

The scenes before him were all Transmissions through time and space, displayed before his eyes.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Qin Yang's mind.

The kunlun mirror contains endless Wisdom and power.

It can illuminate everything in the world, communicate with all things regardless of space.

Qin Yang realized.

This pool of water before him was the transformed kunlun mirror!

Qin Yang gazed at the water's surface again.

The images flickered, displaying fragments of the past and future.

The changing of ages, the rise and fall of civilizations, the birth and demise of heroes.

At this moment, he felt like a silent observer, witnessing everything in the long river of time.

“How marvelous!”

Qin Yang praised in his heart.

The ability of the kunlun mirror was similar to the Star Gazing Platform, but even more powerful.

The Star Gazing Platform could inquire about all matters under Heaven.

The kunlun mirror, however, could illuminate everything.

Even Transmit through time and space.

If Qin Yang wished, he could even see his sons.

This ability was definitely a Heavenly Eye!

Thinking this, Qin Yang began to ponder what excuse he should invent to take the kunlun mirror for himself.

Just then, the water's surface, which had been as still as a mirror, began to ripple again.

As if something was stirring beneath the water.

Instantly, an ominous premonition enveloped Qin Yang's heart.

As the water's undulations became increasingly violent,

a blurry image gradually emerged from beneath the water.

Qin Yang held his breath, staring intently at the pool, trying to discern the true Nature of the image.

When the image gradually became clear, Qin Yang's brow furrowed.

It was an indescribable object, an existence beyond human cognition and imagination.

The surface of the object was covered with countless eyeballs, large and small, dense like myriad peeping windows.

These eyeballs covered the entire object, some as large as plates, others as small as pinpricks.

Each eyeball rolled around, emitting an eerie glow, as if scrutinizing Qin Yang, looking through his body, directly into his Soul.

In addition, the object also had countless tentacles, like the arms of an octopus.

These tentacles were also covered with eyes, constantly wriggling, as if they could extend out of the water at any moment and grab Qin Yang.

Qin Yang felt a dizzying sensation.

His sanity was rapidly collapsing, and his Mental Energy attribute sharply decreased.

He wanted to avert his gaze, yet he was irresistibly drawn by those eyes, involuntarily looking deeper and deeper.

Just as Qin Yang was unable to extricate himself, the Divine Power within him quietly circulated, firmly stabilizing his collapsing sanity.

“I was actually controlled!”

“This is... the power of authority?”

The awakened Qin Yang immediately realized that the object before him was very likely the evil god the Pope wanted to summon!

“How audacious!”

Qin Yang roared inwardly, activating his skill, Six Paths Spirit Eyes!
