595: Lu Xueqi (72)
The Old Witch scrutinized the three, his gaze lingering on Su Han for a moment.
"You carry the aura of the reincarnation mirror. It seems you are the person spoken of in the prophecy."
Su Han's heart stirred: "What prophecy?"
The Old Witch slowly said, "An ancient prophecy states that the day the reincarnation mirror is reunited is the time when the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth begins. The holder of the reincarnation mirror fragment will be the one who faces the tribulation."
Su Han recalled the words of the Ghost Eye Demon Lord and Wang Shouren. It seemed the reincarnation mirror was indeed of great importance.
"Senior, my friend has been poisoned with a potent toxin. Could you please help?"
The Old Witch looked at Bi Yao, pointed a finger, and a white light entered her body.
Bi Yao let out a soft moan, spat out a mouthful of black blood, and her complexion returned to a healthy rosy color.
"The poison is gone, but her Black Witch Clan Bloodline has been activated. She needs time to adjust."
Su Han was overjoyed: "Thank you, Senior!"
The Old Witch waved his hand: "No need to thank me. This is your Opportunity. Since you have come here, you are fated individuals and may accept the Black Witch Clan Legacy."
He pointed to the surrounding murals: "These murals record the ancient secret arts of the Black Witch Clan. You have three days to comprehend them. After three days, the Divine Palace will seal itself again until the next three thousand years."
Su Han was shocked, never expecting such an Opportunity.
Lu Xueqi suddenly said, "Senior, our friends and enemies are still outside"
The Old Witch replied, "The Divine Palace has its own rules: the fated enter, the unfated leave. Your friends have been teleported to a safe location, and your enemies have been driven out of the mountain."
Su Han breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed Senior Wang Shouren should be safe.
"Begin comprehending. Time is precious."
The Old Witch's figure slowly dissipated.
Su Han and the two others exchanged glances, seeing surprise in each other's eyes.
The ancient secret arts of the Black Witch Clan—this was a heaven-sent Opportunity!
They wasted no more time, each finding a wall to begin comprehension.
The mural before Su Han described a Cultivation Technique called the "Reincarnation Life Sutra," which was profoundly mysterious.
He immersed himself in it, unconsciously entering a state of forgetting both self and object.
The spiritual power within his body circulated autonomously, resonating with the patterns in the mural.
The reincarnation mirror fragment in his embrace emitted a soft light, echoing the other fragment.
Su Han felt his Divine Sense constantly growing stronger, and his perception of the world became increasingly clear.
Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, Foundation Establishment Late Stage.
His cultivation was actually increasing rapidly!
What Lu Xueqi comprehended was a sword manual called the "Bright Moon Sword Canon," which was highly compatible with the Cultivation Technique she practiced.
Bi Yao, meanwhile, awakened a portion of her Black Witch Clan Bloodline Legacy and obtained a secret art called the "Hundred Gu True Scripture."
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
When Su Han opened his eyes, the divine light within them was contained, and his aura was as deep as the sea.
He had actually achieved a Breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage in one go!
Lu Xueqi and Bi Yao also gained immense benefits, and their cultivation advanced greatly.
The Old Witch's figure reappeared.
"Time is up. It is time to leave."
With a wave of his hand, a gate of light appeared in the center of the hall.
"Pass through this gate, and you can return to the foot of Black Witch Mountain. Remember, the reincarnation mirror concerns the common people of Heaven and Earth. Conduct yourselves well."
Su Han bowed solemnly: "Thank you, Senior. Junior will certainly live up to your expectations."
The three stepped into the gate of light, again experiencing the sensation of the world spinning.
When they stabilized themselves, they realized they had returned to the foot of Black Witch Mountain.
It was already morning, and the rising sun plated the mountains with a layer of gold.
Grand Elder Moyuan and Wang Shouren had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing the three appear, they hurried forward to greet them.
"It's wonderful that you are all safe!" Grand Elder Moyuan sighed in relief.
Wang Shouren scrutinized the three, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"After only three days, you have made such progress. It seems your gains in the Divine Palace were substantial."
Su Han briefly recounted their experiences in the Divine Palace but concealed the specific details regarding the reincarnation mirror.
Wang Shouren nodded after listening: "The Ghost Eye Demon Lord has been repelled by me, but this person will certainly not let the matter rest. You must be careful in the future."
Grand Elder Moyuan said, "Let's return to the tribe first."
Returning to the Black Witch Clan tribe, everyone rested for several days.
Su Han took out the newly acquired reincarnation mirror fragment and placed it next to the original fragment.
The two fragments resonated, and their edges showed a tendency toward Fusion, but they still lacked a crucial part.
Wang Shouren observed and said, "There should be more fragments of the reincarnation mirror scattered throughout the world. The Ghost Eye Demon Lord is also collecting fragments, and his goal is likely not simple."
Su Han asked, "Senior, do you know the true purpose of the reincarnation mirror?"
Wang Shouren mused, "Ancient records state that the reincarnation mirror possesses the ability to travel through time and space and reverse Reincarnation. But exactly how to use it has long been lost."
Just then, a Black Witch Clan warrior rushed in.
"Grand Elder, we received urgent news! Incense Valley is gathering the major Schools, claiming they want to punish our clan and seize the Divine Palace Treasure Trove!"
Grand Elder Moyuan slammed the table and stood up: "That Incense Valley! How dare they cry foul first!"
Wang Shouren frowned: "This matter is not simple. There must be a mastermind behind the scenes."
Su Han pondered for a moment: "It's likely the Ghost Eye Demon Lord is manipulating things from behind, intending to stir up chaos so he can seize the Opportunity to collect the fragments of the reincarnation mirror."
Lu Xueqi said coldly, "If the troops come, we will block them; if the floods come, we will cover them with earth."
Bi Yao laughed: "This is a perfect chance to try out the newly learned Witchcraft."
Su Han looked into the distance, his gaze firm.
No matter how many hardships and obstacles lay ahead, he had to gather all the reincarnation mirror fragments and uncover the truth behind them.
This concerned not only personal grievances but also the fate of the common people of Heaven and Earth.
A new journey was about to begin.
Meanwhile, inside Incense Valley, Protector Bai was kneeling in front of a secret chamber, trembling.
"Master, your subordinate failed in his duties. Please punish me."
A cold voice came from the secret chamber: "Since the reincarnation mirror fragment has already appeared, there is no need to rush. However, that Su Han is somewhat interesting."
Protector Bai cautiously asked, "The major Schools have responded to our call. Should we proceed according to plan?"
"Of course. This play has only just begun."
The voice carried a hint of amusement, as if everything was under control.
Inside the secret chamber, a pair of eyes, black as ink, slowly opened in the darkness, flashing with an eerie light. (End of Chapter)
