Chapter 828: Donghuang Mirror, the demon-controlling talisman!

Zhenhai True Lord’s Nascent Soul Spirit Body wore a bitter expression, unsure how to begin.

This matter, let alone Old Ancestor Zhenhai, even he, the person involved, still felt somewhat dazed and unreal.

It was simply too outrageous!

He and others had merely gone to hunt a Fourth-Order Demon King and ambush a lucky individual who had obtained a great Opportunity.

Unexpectedly, they inexplicably provoked such a malevolent star.

Who could they even complain to about this!

Who Lu Changsheng was, his situation, his origin—he had no idea.

The lucky individual Pinghai spoke of? A Cultivator who had undergone Reincarnation and re-Cultivation but had not yet fully grown?

But how could a Golden Core Realm Cultivator, at most one who had just broken through to Nascent Soul, possess such strength?

Was a top-tier Nascent Soul cultivator disguised as a Core Formation cultivator to fish for targets?

Such things shouldn’t only happen in fictional stories, should they?

Where did such a leisurely Nascent Soul Great Cultivator come from, and why did they just happen to run into him and his group?

“Old Ancestor, I’m not sure about this matter either. Before, Pinghai… ”

Zhenhai True Lord gave a concise account, stating that he and his group had finished hunting the Dragon Whale early, using it as bait to wait for the fish to bite.

Then, Pinghai True Lord, Overturning Ocean True Lord, Swallowing Sea True Lord, and Situ Mo went outside the Immortal City to set up an ambush.

Who knew that they suddenly received a distress call from Swallowing Sea True Lord?

When they rushed to rescue him, they saw Swallowing Sea True Lord with only his Nascent Soul Spirit Body remaining, even before reaching halfway.

“This person should not be a Nascent Soul Late Stage Great Cultivator; he is a Nascent Soul middle stage.”

Under the circumstances at the time, Zhenhai True Lord had not discerned Lu Changsheng’s Cultivation Realm.

Through their brief encounter, he guessed that Lu Changsheng was a top-tier Cultivator at the Nascent Soul middle stage, not a giant at the Nascent Soul Late Stage!

The reason he killed them into a rout was primarily due to a Supreme Treasure.

Thinking of the power of the Sun Moon Two-Phases Profound Light Mirror, he was still in a daze and trance.

With such a Supreme Treasure, how could the opponent, only at the Nascent Soul middle stage, unleash such terrifying power?

One must know that their Zhenhai Sect also possessed top-tier secret treasures and Supreme Treasures.

However, under normal circumstances, such Supreme Treasures were extremely difficult to activate.

They had to rely on the Sect’s grand formation, the Dao Soldier’s grand formation, or the combined efforts of multiple Nascent Soul cultivators from the Seven Sects to activate them.

Therefore, this was very perplexing.

However, ever since Lu Changsheng appeared, his situation had been perplexing and could not be measured by common sense.

“Nascent Soul middle stage? Three Fourth-Order Spirit Pets? A Supreme Treasure… a mirror that emits Sun Divine Light?”

Old Ancestor Zhenhai’s brows furrowed tightly.

He had a clear understanding of the strength of Zhenhai True Lord, Rage Ocean True Lord, and the others.

With four Nascent Soul cultivators, five hundred water-attribute Dao Soldiers, and twelve Core Formation cultivators, even a top-tier Nascent Soul cultivator would not be able to cause such devastation in a short amount of time.

They could have stalled until he arrived.

The only issue was the Supreme Treasure mirror that emitted Sun Divine Light!

Old Ancestor Zhenhai’s profound, abyss-like eyes showed a contemplative look as he continued to inquire about the details.

“This divine light is incomparably scorching and overbearing, capable of destroying all laws. Our Lifebound Treasures couldn’t even withstand it for a moment before directly shattering.”

Zhenhai True Lord recalled the power of the Sun Divine Light, saying with lingering fear, “This is very likely a heavenly spiritual treasure!”

Although he couldn’t understand how the other party activated such a heavenly spiritual treasure.

But as a Nascent Soul True Lord, through its power and Qi, he knew that it had already surpassed ordinary Spirit Treasures.

It definitely belonged to the quasi-heavenly spiritual treasure category, or even a true heavenly spiritual treasure.

“heavenly spiritual treasure!”

Old Ancestor Zhenhai took a deep breath, his expression incredibly solemn.

He then instructed Zhenhai True Lord to use the Water Mirror Technique to meticulously project the previous scene for him to observe.

Such a method was naturally effortless for a Nascent Soul True Lord.

Even though Zhenhai True Lord’s Physical Body was shattered, leaving only his Nascent Soul Spirit Body, it did not affect him at all.

It was just difficult to completely restore and simulate the power and Qi.

Watching the water mirror image, Old Ancestor Zhenhai frowned deeply, remaining silent.

Although the mirror before him differed slightly in appearance from the Eastern Emperor Mirror, the inherited Supreme Treasure of the Sun Moon Star Palace.

However, based on Zhenhai True Lord’s description and the power and effect of the mirror before him, he believed it was indeed the Eastern Emperor Mirror!

Firstly, for such a Supreme Treasure, it was not difficult to conceal its divine radiance or alter its appearance.

Secondly, as far as he knew, although the Sun Moon Star Palace had been destroyed.

However, as a former top power in the East Sea Cultivation World, the Sun Moon Star Palace would never be easily destroyed, nor would its Legacy be severed.

It was highly possible that someone had escaped with its relics and Legacy!

As a former member of the East Sea Cultivation World who came to the Star Constellation Sea, he knew that during the great upheaval in the East Sea Cultivation World, many Human Race Cultivators had fled to the Star Constellation Sea.

Perhaps the Eastern Emperor lineage was among them.

After this thought emerged, the more Old Ancestor Zhenhai pondered, the more he felt that Lu Changsheng resembled the Eastern Emperor!

The Sun Moon Star Palace’s inherited Supreme Treasure — the Eastern Emperor Mirror!

As a Nascent Soul cultivator, yet living incognito, disguised as a minor Cultivator, lurking in such a remote place!

A Nascent Soul middle stage Cultivation could activate a heavenly spiritual treasure to such an extent, only if the Cultivation Technique and Supreme Treasure were perfectly compatible, or even with the aid of a tool spirit!

As a Nascent Soul cultivator, yet possessing multiple Fourth-Order Spirit Pets with True Spirit-level Bloodlines!

Although among the few Spirit Pets, there was no pure-blood True Spirit like the Great Sun Golden Crow of the Sun Moon Star Palace or the Eastern Emperor lineage.

But from all the above, it indicated that this person was not some lucky individual who had obtained a top-tier Opportunity, or an ordinary Cultivator who had undergone Reincarnation and re-Cultivation!

“Old Ancestor, what should we do?”

Zhenhai True Lord asked his Old Ancestor, his face bitter.

Their Town Sea Seven Sects had a total of eight Nascent Soul cultivators.

Now, three had perished, and three had their physical bodies shattered, leaving only their Nascent Soul Spirit Bodies.

Once such a matter spread, the entire Star Constellation Sea would experience a massive earthquake, leading to a re-division of power.

After all, the current Town Sea Seven Sects no longer had the strength to occupy such a large territory.

Although their Town Sea Seven Sects possessed abundant foundations and could Cultivate one or two Nascent Soul cultivators in the shortest time.

Their combat strength, however, was far from comparable to before!

Moreover, Lu Changsheng’s matter weighed on his heart like a great mountain, making it difficult to breathe.

Old Ancestor Zhenhai remained silent.

He, too, could not easily make a decision on such a matter.

If the other party truly was, as he speculated, a successor of the Sun Moon Star Palace and the Eastern Emperor lineage, then it was far from as simple as it appeared, and not someone he could easily provoke.

However, through Zhenhai’s words, the other party had just forcefully unleashed heavenly Divine Might, and must now be in a weakened state.

If he found him, he could not only take revenge and eliminate future troubles, but also seize the Supreme Treasure and the Eastern Emperor Legacy!

“First, go to the Overturning Sea Sect and have someone divine the situation!”

Old Ancestor Zhenhai said.

As a top power in the Star Constellation Sea, their Town Sea Seven Sects naturally had multiple diviners stationed there.

In such a situation, it was time to consult a diviner!

However, he did not return to the Zhenhai Sect.

Instead, he headed to the nearest Overturning Sea Sect, hoping to have the diviner there perform a divination.

And he immediately sent a message to Swallowing Sea True Lord and Mings Sea True Lord, telling them that he was at the Overturning Sea Sect.

The situation was urgent, so Old Ancestor Zhenhai activated his Evasion Spirit Treasure, swiftly traversing the Void Realm with Zhenhai True Lord, arriving at the Overturning Sea Sect, and immediately summoned the resident diviner to meet him.

The Town Sea Seven Sects were united as one.

Wherever he, the Old Ancestor, went within any of the Sects, there was no need to report, and he was respectfully welcomed.

“What!? A True Lord has fallen?”

A moment later, the resident diviner of the Overturning Sea Sect arrived. Hearing that Overturning Ocean True Lord had fallen and being asked to divine the situation, he was shocked, his expression drastically changing.

Although he had a vague premonition that an unknown variable had appeared in the Overturning Sea Sect’s heavenly Karma, he did not know what was happening.

Only now did he realize that Overturning Ocean True Lord had fallen!

A month ago, Overturning Ocean True Lord had even asked him to perform a divination.

But he was only a Third-Order diviner, making it difficult to divine the situation of a Nascent Soul True Lord.

Even by expending Lifespan, he felt that the heavenly Karma and fate were chaotic and full of unknowns.

He never expected that Overturning Ocean True Lord would actually fall outside!

“Yes, Old Ancestor!”

Under Old Ancestor Zhenhai’s gaze, the diviner took Overturning Ocean True Lord’s Soul Lantern as a medium, threw out his divination tool, and attempted to divine the situation of the culprit.

But no matter how he divined, he felt that the heavenly Karma before him was shrouded in a misty haze, impossible to shake!

“Pfft!” He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, expending essence blood and Lifespan, wanting to clear the mist, but he simply couldn’t.

Seeing Old Ancestor Zhenhai’s profound, abyss-like eyes, his heart bled, and he could only further shorten his Lifespan to divine.

However, after losing more than ten years of Lifespan, his entire face was pale and weak, yet he still hadn’t obtained any information.

Even the mist before him hadn’t budged an inch.

“Old Ancestor, it’s not that I’m unwilling to divine, but the other party’s heavenly Karma is chaotic, like the heavens, earth, Sun, and Moon, unshakeable in the slightest.”

The diviner’s voice and face were bitter, and he spoke weakly.

If he had divined any information or news, he could have received good rewards.

To pay such a high price and divine nothing was a complete loss.

“Unshakeable in the slightest?”

Old Ancestor Zhenhai’s face was calm, betraying no anger.

He had already guessed that it would be difficult to divine any clues.

But under such great Karma, using Overturning Ocean True Lord’s Soul Lantern as a medium, yet being unable to shake the heavenly Karma in the slightest—this was enough to illustrate the seriousness of the problem.

Just as he had guessed, the other party possessed a top-tier Supreme Treasure to suppress the heavenly Karma!

It could not only conceal the heavenly Karma but also interfere with and make the heavenly Karma chaotic, affecting fate!

Otherwise, with such a major event occurring in the Town Sea Seven Sects, he, the Old Ancestor, would not have had no sudden premonition, no vague sense of ill omen!

It was only after Overturning Ocean was killed and he received Swallowing Sea True Lord’s message that he felt a vague premonition!

And as far as he knew, the Eastern Emperor Mirror, as the inherited Supreme Treasure of the Sun Moon Star Palace, seemed to possess the characteristic of shielding and influencing heavenly Karma and fate!

“Yes, Old Ancestor, the opponent’s heavenly secrets are profound; they either possess a supreme treasure to suppress the heavenly secrets, or they have the help of a top-tier divination grandmaster to conceal them.”

This diviner bowed with a weak voice.

Such a deduction, which depleted his essence blood and Lifespan, not only consumed his mental energy but also left his body feeling hollow and extremely weak.

“Good, you may rest. This matter must not be spread outside.”

Zhenhai Old Ancestor handed over a bottle of Medicinal Pill from his storage ring, speaking in a calm voice.

However, this diviner felt immense pressure and immediately responded respectfully, “Thank you, Old Ancestor. Please rest assured, Old Ancestor.”

After the diviner left, Zhenhai Old Ancestor’s eyes deepened as he fell into contemplation.

If it truly didn’t work, he could only summon his main body.

However, he would not do so unless absolutely necessary.

After much thought, he decided to wait for Mings Sea True Lord and Swallowing Sea True Lord to return, then proactively investigate the situation himself.

Otherwise, simply waiting like this was too passive.

Although the opponent was formidable, as the stabilizing force and living fossil of the Town Sea Seven Sects, he was not someone who could be casually slaughtered.

Even if he couldn’t defeat them, he could still retreat unscathed.

Moreover, after activating such a supreme treasure, the opponent would surely be weak for a long time.

“Or… I’ll make a trip to Star Moon Hall and Six Paths Palace!”

Zhenhai Old Ancestor took a deep breath, looking in the direction of Star Moon Hall.

Under such great Karma, his own diviner found it difficult to shake the heavenly secrets in the slightest. To forcibly divine and calculate, only the Star King and Moon Lord of Star Moon Hall could do it!

Both of them were not only exceptional in the Dao of divination.

He also knew a secret.

Star Moon Hall was most likely founded by the inheritors of the Star and Moon lineages from the former Sun Moon Star Palace.

In this situation, Star Moon Hall would certainly be very interested in Lu Changsheng, the Eastern Emperor.

And according to what Zhenhai True Lord said, Peace Ocean True Lord had gone to Star Moon Hall years ago to ask the Star King and Moon Lord to divine the opponent’s situation.

Within this, there might even be a scheme by Star Moon Hall!

Now that things had reached this point, he, as the Old Ancestor of the Town Sea Seven Sects, naturally had to go to Star Moon Hall for an explanation!

As for Six Paths Palace, it was to invite the Six Paths Devil Lord for cooperation.

This person could be considered the number one in the Star Constellation Sea.

Not only was he amazingly talented and incredibly powerful, but he also had immense ambition, always wanting to unify the Star Constellation Sea.

Presumably, he would be very interested in the Eastern Emperor Legacy.

As for spreading the information about the Eastern Emperor Legacy, truthfully, that was the last resort.

After all, spreading such a matter would be meaningless.

It would only alert the enemy, making them wary and further enraging them.

It was far better to seek cooperation with the Star King, Moon Lord, the Goddess Palace Master, or the top-tier Demon King of the Forbidden Sea!

However, what he most wanted to know now was the attitude of Star Moon Hall!

If Star Moon Hall could cooperate with him, then that would naturally be for the best.

If Star Moon Hall was unwilling to cooperate, or even considered the relationship between the Sun Moon Star Palace, the Star and Moon lineage, and the Eastern Emperor lineage, then he could only temporarily swallow this hatred, ask them for help, resolve the grievances, and wait for his main body to achieve a Breakthrough.

Not long after, Mings Sea True Lord and Swallowing Sea True Lord arrived at Overturning Sea Sect.

Zhenhai Old Ancestor looked at the two of them.

Mings Sea True Lord’s condition was still fine; she had merely expended too much by performing a blood-burning secret art and would recover after a year or so of recuperation.

Swallowing Sea True Lord’s Nascent Soul Spirit Body was already extremely weak.

Even if he underwent Nascent Soul Possession and returned to the Nascent Soul Realm, his Dao path would be almost crippled, making it difficult for him to advance further in the future, belonging to the worst kind of Human Race Nascent Soul.

Seeing Swallowing Sea True Lord’s condition, and remembering that Overturning Ocean True Lord, Peace Ocean True Lord, and Rage Ocean True Lord had all perished, Zhenhai Old Ancestor’s heart boiled with rage!

But besides rage, there was also a sense of fear!

With such strength, he was definitely no match!

“Swallowing Sea True Lord, what was the situation at that time?”

Zhenhai Old Ancestor looked at Swallowing Sea True Lord and asked him.

At that time, he, Peace Ocean True Lord, and Overturning Ocean True Lord had gone to ambush outside Great Dream Immortal City, so they should know more details.

“Old Ancestor…”

Swallowing Sea True Lord immediately recounted how Overturning Ocean True Lord was instantly killed by a single sword strike and how Peace Ocean True Lord was intercepted.

“Two Nascent Soul True Lords?”

Regarding the matters of Great Dream Immortal City, Zhenhai True Lord and the others naturally knew.

If not for Peace Ocean True Lord’s guarantee, and after going to investigate, they indeed found a Fourth-Order Dragon Whale with an extraordinary Bloodline, they would not have acted so rashly.

But they never expected there to be two Nascent Soul cultivators?

One Nascent Soul True Lord was already so terrifying, and there was a second one?

“The Spirit Treasure that Nascent Soul cultivator used at the time was the same Spirit Treasure as this person’s Incarnation before. I’m not sure what the situation is!”

Swallowing Sea True Lord continued.

Although the Sanbao Avatar was difficult to distinguish as real or fake.

However, as Nascent Soul True Lords, they still had a certain degree of discernment.

Seeing the Sanbao Avatar fly out from Lu Changsheng’s glabella, they naturally saw that it was an Incarnation formed with the help of some treasure.

As for the Yin Yang Dao Body, he was not clear and could not distinguish its authenticity.

“Is it an Incarnation?”

Zhenhai Old Ancestor spoke.

Lifebound Treasure, apart from an Incarnation or cultivating the same Cultivation Technique, generally could not be shared and would be difficult to unleash its full power.

Therefore, based on the information, he first guessed it was an Incarnation.

Although such a Divine Ability was difficult to Cultivate.

But if the opponent was indeed the Eastern Emperor, as he suspected, then cultivating an Incarnation wasn’t that normal?

“Incarnation.”

Upon hearing this, Zhenhai True Lord and Swallowing Sea True Lord showed a hint of envy in their eyes.

The Incarnation Divine Ability also had another benefit: if the Physical Body was shattered, it could serve as the best Physical Body container.

However, such a Divine Ability was not easy to Cultivate, and the conditions were harsh. The Heaven And Earth Treasure generally suitable for an Incarnation body were also extremely rare.

With their Physical Bodies shattered now, they naturally hoped for a superior Physical Body.

“It’s possible, but the situation was urgent at the time, and I couldn’t examine it carefully.”

Swallowing Sea True Lord said weakly.

At that time, Overturning Ocean True Lord and Situ Mo were killed by Lu Changsheng and the Yin Yang Dao Body. He immediately chose to flee, having no time to observe carefully.

“Zhenhai, Mings Sea True Lord, you two try sending messages to Peace Ocean True Lord, Overturning Ocean True Lord, and Swallowing Sea True Lord’s tokens.”

At this moment, Zhenhai Old Ancestor suddenly spoke, wanting to see if they could contact Lu Changsheng.

If Lu Changsheng had not destroyed these tokens and responded, it would indicate that the matter could be discussed, and there would be no need to rush over to ascertain the truth.

If a discussion was not possible, or the conditions were too excessive, he could first stabilize the opponent, then go to see the attitudes of Star Moon Hall and Six Paths Palace.

At this moment.

In the Great Dream Marsh, at the Sea Eye.

Lu Changsheng sat cross-legged, rapidly recovering his magical power state through the Spiritual Qi of the Sea Eye, the Spirit Eye Spring, and the millennial spirit milk.

Suddenly, a faint surge of vital Qi entered Lu Changsheng’s body, accompanied by a System prompt.

“Congratulations to the Host! Five of your descendants have broken through to Third-Order Body Refining, granting you one rare lottery Opportunity!”

“Hmm?”

Lu Changsheng was a little surprised; he hadn’t expected five of his children to break through to Third-Order Body Refining at home.

Although the System interface didn’t display Body Refining Cultivation, he guessed that either his son Lu Lingxiao had broken through to Third-Order Body Refining, or his son Lu Qingshan had.

After all, his son Lu Ping’an had already broken through to Third-Order Body Refining much earlier.

Years ago, when one of his children broke through to Third-Order Body Refining, Lu Changsheng later observed and guessed it should be his daughter, Nangong Yaoyao.

She broke through to Core Formation very early and was in a top-tier Sect like Immortal Lotus Sect, so it was normal for her to have the resources to dual-Cultivate Third-Order Body Refining.

The others were his son Quanzhen, born from the Kunpeng cub and the demonic embryo, and his daughter Wangshu, whom he had helped reach Third-Order Body Refining a few years ago.

After all, his daughter Wangshu and son Lu Lingxiao had already been cultivating the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique through Magic Treasure and AFK training since childhood.

Although this Cultivation Technique was generally not cost-effective and consumed more resources than ordinary Body Refining.

However, if used to nurture a Genius, it could save him a lot of time.

Otherwise, normal Cultivation, even without a lack of resources, would be extremely time and energy-consuming.

So, it was normal for his son Lu Lingxiao to break through to Third-Order Body Refining at this time.

Although his son Lu Qingshan started dual-cultivating Body Refining a bit late, he only gave the latter one Magic Treasure.

But in these years, the other party had killed many Core Formation enemy Cultivators in Yue Country, so he probably had quite a few Magic Treasures in hand.

Moreover, when he returned from Yue Country previously, he gave his son Lu Qingshan many resources. After the other party completed his Core Formation Middle Stage Breakthrough, it was very likely he would further enhance his combat power and battlefield survival through dual-cultivating Body Refining!

“I can give them a few more Spirit Treasures later for Cultivation.”

Although this method of Cultivation was wasteful, Lu Changsheng found it quite worthwhile.

First, his children wouldn’t have to spend time dual-cultivating Body Refining to improve their combat power!

Second, when his children achieved a Body Refining Breakthrough, he would receive feedback, equivalent to a Spirit Treasure, a double gain!

Third, when his children achieved a Body Refining Breakthrough, he could also receive a System dividend!

For example, now, with a rare lottery, if he got another heavenly spiritual treasure, what were a few Magic Treasures or Spirit Treasures?

“System, lottery!”

Lu Changsheng immediately used this lottery with anticipation, wanting to see what reward he would get.

After all, out of so many rare lotteries, none had disappointed him except for the True Spirit Nine Transformations Cultivation Technique.

The rare grand roulette appeared and began to spin slowly, the golden light stopping on “Heaven And Earth Treasure.”

“Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a Demon Subjugation Talisman!”

“Reward has been issued to the System space. The Host can view it at any time.”

A Talisman pattern emerged from the grand roulette, accompanied by a System prompt.
