I was just making up techniques… how did all of you become Emperors? Chapter 647 647 Heaven Watching Mirror
Previously on I was just making up techniques… how did all of you become Emperors?...
As days turned into weeks on the Hongyuan Continent, the battles between the three races escalated in ferocity.
What started as separate grabs for land by the three races soon turned into brutal clashes as they vied for control over territories.
Suddenly, war flames blazed everywhere across the Hongyuan Continent. In order to endure, the hundred races were forced to align with the three races as subordinates, launching attacks on each other.
With Demon Gods from each of the three sides dropping one after another in combat, the mighty trio—the Dragon Ancestor, Phoenix Ancestor, and Qilin Ancestor—finally stepped into the chaos and started battling.
The moment these three ancestors unleashed their power, the whole Hongyuan Continent shook violently, as if the sky was crumbling and the ground was tearing apart.
Even Chu Feng, located far off in the Wendao Sect, could sense the lingering force from the three ancestors' confrontation. He mused inwardly: These three aren't as formidable as the tales suggest; if I intervened, I'd definitely overpower them despite any cultivation gap.
Having felt the might of the three ancestors, Lu Ming, Chu Yan, and Xian He—the three young disciples—rushed straight to Chu Feng. They bowed deeply and declared: "We pay respects to Master."
"Why are you three seeking me out instead of focusing on your cultivation?"
Gazing at the shaky demeanor of his three students, Chu Feng had a sudden urge to discipline them. As his own disciples, they were rattled by mere echoes of someone else's fight; if word got out, wouldn't it utterly tarnish Chu Feng's reputation?
Chu Yan spoke up: "Father, those three ancestors won't battle all the way to us, right?"
"And if they do charge here? Haven't I already assured you that I could handle them even then?"
At these words from Chu Feng, his expression abruptly grew stern.
Chu Yan quickly clarified: "Father, you did mention that, but I'm concerned that without our intervention, by the end of the three ancestors' clash, more than half the creatures on the Hongyuan Continent might perish. Then, our Wendao Sect wouldn't be able to gather new disciples and expand."
Chu Feng inquired curiously: "Are you truly not scared, little one, but just fretting over disciple recruitment?"
"Yes, absolutely."
Chu Yan wouldn't admit to being afraid.
Chu Feng grinned and replied: "Your point holds some merit, yet our Wendao Sect has always selected only geniuses. Anyone who can't weather this era's turmoil doesn't deserve the prodigy label. Maybe after the massive war concludes, our Wendao Sect can flourish anew."
"Father, that makes sense; I was overthinking it."
Chu Yan responded with a grin.
Chu Feng gave the boy an eye roll: "Do you believe I can't see through your thoughts? Alright, I've got a treasure here that lets you survey the world. If you're anxious, you can stay by it daily and witness this epic, earth-shattering conflict."
"Father, you hold such a treasure?"
Chu Yan stared at Chu Feng in sheer surprise and questioned.
"Look at that timid look on your face; it's merely a Heaven Watching Mirror, nothing extraordinary."
While saying this, Chu Feng flicked his hand, summoning a bronze mirror that measured five feet across and nine feet high right in front of Chu Yan.
This Heaven Watching Mirror was a sacred item Chu Feng had obtained from the Holy Court; it allowed glimpses into every part of the Hongyuan Continent, ideal for spotting talents.
That said, Chu Feng always favored going with the flow, so he'd never bothered with this mirror before; now, it was finally getting some use.
Before departing, he paused as if recalling something and added: "While scanning the world, if you spot anything astonishing, remember to inform me."
"Father, don't worry, I won't overlook even the tiniest thing." Chu Yan thumped his chest in promise.
"No need for all that fuss; just alert me if the three ancestors battle too savagely or get close to our Wendao Sect."
With that, Chu Feng departed, leaving the three youngsters there, their eyes fixed on the bronze mirror. Regrettably, the mirror showed nothing at all.
After quite some time, Chu Yan smacked his forehead and exclaimed: "Oh shoot, I forgot to ask Father how to operate this bronze mirror!"
Xian He: "..."
Qing Song: "..."
Right at that moment, Ji Jiuwu's voice echoed from afar: "Three junior brothers, what are you staring at?"
Upon hearing the sound, the three whipped around and chorused: "Senior Brother Ji, you've arrived. Master handed us a mirror that can scan the whole Hongyuan Continent, but we can't get it working."
At this, Ji Jiuwu's face lit up with a grin: "Junior brothers, for treasures from Master, we activate them with spiritual power, of course. Allow me to show you how it's done."
"Senior Brother, go ahead."
The three stepped aside promptly.
Ji Jiuwu approached the Heaven Watching Mirror and channeled his spiritual power without delay. Soon, the views around the Wendao Sect displayed on the Heaven Watching Mirror. With a mental shift, the image jumped to the Long River Tribe within the mirror.
"Senior Brother, you were spot on."
Chu Yan beamed with thrill.
Ji Jiuwu pulled back his spiritual power and explained: "At my level in the third layer of the Spirit Nurturing Realm, I can only power this Heaven Watching Mirror briefly. To keep watching the world, we'll need our fellow disciples to rotate in supplying spiritual power."
"Let me give it a go too."
Chu Yan declared as he poured spiritual power into the Heaven Watching Mirror right away. Moments later, the Water God Tribe's scene filled the Heaven Watching Mirror. Observing it, he muttered: "Something feels off about the energy here; better to check elsewhere."
Quickly, the Heaven Watching Mirror switched to the Fire God Tribe, then over to the Sky Fire Tribe.
"Huh... why is my Sky Fire Tribe showing up in the bronze mirror?"
Jiang Yan's voice abruptly sounded in everyone's ears. Once they heard him, they all briefed Jiang Yan on what was happening.
"Master actually has such an item; now we can keep tabs on our tribe even from these mountains." Jiang Yan whispered after hearing the details.
"Exactly."
Ji Jiuwu nodded: "Master's power is beyond what we can imagine. Going forward, why not cultivate near this Heaven Watching Mirror and rotate shifts to monitor the world?"
"Sounds good."
Jiang Yan consented right away; he too had been anxious about his home. With the Heaven Watching Mirror available, he could finally relax on that front.
In the days that followed, once their morning cultivation sessions wrapped up, the group would gather at the Heaven Watching Mirror to check the world's overall state.
"The Fire God Tribe got wiped out by the Black Dragon God."
Watching the Fire God perish through the Heaven Watching Mirror, Jiang Yan felt profoundly grateful for becoming Master's disciple. Without that, he'd likely have fallen with his tribe's downfall.
Yet his face soon twisted; the Black Dragon God loomed over the Sky Fire Tribe in the sky, and Jiang Yan's expression shifted in alarm.
Noticing this, Ji Jiuwu beside him hastened to reassure: "A-Yan, stay calm. Master's divine statue is there, so the Black Dragon God can't touch the Sky Fire Tribe."
Meanwhile, in the Sky Fire Tribe itself, every human cultivator spotted the Black Dragon God circling overhead with swarms of flood dragons. One after another, they sensed the apocalypse descending.
The Clan Leader and Grand Priest, upon witnessing this, felt their hearts sink into despair. Only days earlier, after hearing of the Fire God Tribe's annihilation, they'd started organizing folks to evacuate the area.
But prior to launching the move, the Black Dragon God arrived with his flood dragon horde to surround their Sky Fire Tribe.
The Grand Priest inquired: "Are the clan's children set for evacuation?"
"Arrangements are made, though escaping this dragon race blockade is uncertain." The Clan Leader replied solemnly.
"No matter what, we'll give it our all and trust fate for the outcome. Come on; it's time for us old folks to make one last stand."
The Grand Priest's words had barely ended when the Black Dragon God's roar boomed from above: "Why don't you hurry out to meet your doom? Must this god strike personally?"
With those words, throngs of humans poured from their dwellings, dropping to their knees and bowing repeatedly: "Dragon God, mercy on us, Dragon God, please spare us!"
"Hmph!"
The Black Dragon God sneered: "This god sweeps through all lands, yet your puny Sky Fire Tribe alone dared slay the flood dragons in my service; death is your fate!"
As he finished, a jet of black flame erupted from his maw, plunging toward the Sky Fire Tribe.
At this sight, terror and dread etched across every human face below. A single notion gripped them all: it's done for, we're all doomed now!
Right as the black flame neared impact, a beam of celestial light burst forth. From it emerged a colossal form who, with effortless poise, aimed a finger at the sky's Black Dragon God and commanded: "Slash!"
The command rang out, and reality obeyed, unleashing a blade of light from the figure's finger.
The sword light's path cleared the black flame, forcing it to dissipate and flee.
Beholding this, horror seized the Black Dragon God's features. That presence and that might evoked memories of the three ancestors.
"Impossible, how could a being on par with the three ancestors be here..."
Before the Black Dragon God uttered the final words, the sword light speared through his form, extinguishing his divine soul as he tumbled swiftly to the earth.
Rumble!
A thunderous crash followed as the Black Dragon God's body cratered the ground deeply. In an instant, silence blanketed a hundred-mile stretch...
