Chapter 2640: Chapter 2632: Yi Jue’s Question

The Yin Spirit Bigwig felt very wronged, so Feng Jun felt embarrassed to ask further.

Go or not? Of course, he had to go. The bigwig had helped him a lot when he was weak, and Feng Jun prided himself on being honorable, so he would certainly not forget such favors.

As for when to go? When the Xuanyuan Family disciples were here for testing, it would be the most suitable time to go... At least he could leave new footprints without worrying about being discovered by the Xuanyuan Family’s cultivators.

Before leaving, Feng Jun definitely had to say something to Yi Jue, and as a result, she unhesitatingly stated, "I want to go too."

Feng Jun asked the bigwig, and the bigwig permitted him to appropriately disclose some information—now Mountain Master Feng had already grown up; although his cultivation level was still low, he already had some ability to protect himself.

Moreover, it also knew that Yi Jue was now basically following Feng Jun’s every word and probably wouldn’t betray him.

So Feng Jun told Yi Jue: he was entrusted by a senior to retrieve some hidden treasures there.

Yi Jue’s eyes lit up as she listened. Although she was a homebody, it seemed the more of a homebody she was, the more interested she was in treasure hunting— perhaps she was just not good at communication. "What’s in the hidden treasures?"

"Whatever’s there isn’t ours," Feng Jun replied with a bitter smile, "It’s for that senior."

Yi Jue blinked curiously and asked, "Is that senior still alive?"

"WTF! %$#@&" The Yin Spirit Bigwig couldn’t take it anymore and input a bunch of garbled text into Feng Jun’s mind.

"Not only alive," Feng Jun responded with mixed feelings, "that senior is counting on the hidden treasures to recover their cultivation level."

Yi Jue’s eyes darted around, "Is it the senior in that mirror?"

"The senior in the mirror... that’s another story," Feng Jun responded with a wry smile, "But if you want to know, I can tell you a bit, and I owe you an apology."

"Apology..." Yi Jue pondered for a moment, "Let’s talk about it on the way."

Feng Jun intended to leave with Yi Jue, but Qian Zhong noticed them, "Where are you two going?"

"Senior, could you watch the place for me?" This time, Feng Jun definitely wouldn’t take her along; with a sway of his body, he disappeared with Yi Jue.

"Watch the place for you... does this really need me to worry about?" Qian Zhong’s expression was strange. Then she lifted her hand to calculate quickly, and her expression became even stranger, "They actually went there again, what does this mean?"

Feng Jun brought Yi Jue to the secondary plane, and Yi Jue only then spoke up, "Here... Qian Zhong might deduce it."

"No matter," Feng Jun responded casually, why would he care about Qian Zhong’s reaction? "As long as she can’t teleport there instantly, how could she know where we are going?"

Yi Jue pursed her lips and asked seriously, "So now... where are we going?"

Feng Jun waited for a while before receiving the bigwig’s instructions, then pointed with his hand, "First take me flying in that direction."

If not using footprints to travel, Yi Jue’s speed was at least ten times faster than his.

Yi Jue didn’t hesitate either, her horsetail whisk wrapped around his waist, and they flew off at an incredible speed.

Her speed was very fast, probably exceeding 200,000 kilometers per hour. However, this space was just too vast. In the cold expanse of space, there wasn’t much scenery, and there were few reference points, so the view didn’t change much at first.

So she initiated the conversation, "Tell me about that mirror, why do you owe an apology?"

Feng Jun thought for a moment and then stated the result, "The senior had their eyes set on the Sun-Mirroring Glass, and I agreed to it."

"That’s no problem," Yi Jue replied without hesitation. She was quite generous, not at all like a traditional female cultivator, "The demonstration of the Swallowed Star Demon a while ago brought some good benefits to the sect. The Absolute Spirit Microorganisms you brought were also very useful, beyond my expectations."

Feng Jun couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly, "You’re so generous that it makes me feel troubled; do we really need to keep track of everything between us?"

"As far as sect matters are concerned, of course, we need to keep track," Yi Jue had her own way of thinking, "The Sun-Mirroring Glass is a matter of personal relationships between you and me; we don’t need to be so precise about it."

"This is really..." The Yin Spirit Bigwig hidden in the Spirit Beast Bag couldn’t help but quip, "What about the dignity of a Nascent Soul?"

Feng Jun heard and dryly coughed, not wanting to rely on her too much, "I’ve prepared an Ancient Artifact Shard, let’s see if it’s of any use."

"Ancient Artifact Shard?" The bigwig was quick to respond, "What type?"

Feng Jun directly ignored it and first wanted to see if Yi Jue needed it.

However, Yi Jue’s reaction was quite odd, as she was more concerned with, "That senior... what exactly is your relationship with them? I see that you have a hard time explaining, yet you’re willing to give them the Sun-Mirroring Glass?"

Feng Jun could only deliberate and speak, "You should be able to think of it, that senior in the mirror is just a wisp of Divine Spirit."

"Absolutely a Divine Spirit," Yi Jue replied with certainty, "Where is its original body? Why would it have the interest to interact with us minor cultivators?"

"It was originally a naturally born elf from an ancient artifact," Feng Jun answered solemnly, "And that ancient artifact was a mirror. Later, its body was destroyed during a tribulation, forcing it to reside elsewhere. Now, it has drawn a wisp of Divine Spirit into that Dust-Free Magical Treasure."

"A naturally born elf," Yi Jue nodded thoughtfully, "But why did it enter a Dust-Free Magical Treasure instead of a higher-level Precious Treasure or True Artifact? Just because it is also a mirror?"

Feng Jun shook his head, "It wasn’t. That Dust-Free Magical Treasure was originally a replica of its original body, with almost identical rules."

"I see," Yi Jue finally understood why the choice seemed so peculiar to the other party, "You’ve been in contact with quite a lot of ancient artifacts, truly a deep heritage."

"Not that many," Feng Jun replied modestly, then continued to explain, "The Sun-Mirroring Glass might be from the same source as it."

"Understood," Yi Jue, being a researcher, concluded, "It wants to refine the Sun-Mirroring Glass to grow again into the elf of an ancient artifact, but operating like this... it’s not easy. Even if they are twin ancient artifacts, the rules might be unrelated."

"The idea for the operation is already there," Feng Jun didn’t elaborate too much, as it involved Jing Ling’s privacy, "You can imagine that its original body could actually lead people to create replicas; it’s truly extraordinary."

"I can imagine that," Yi Jue was very clear on this point, "If a Magical Treasure is useful, it might lead to mass production, but for an ancient artifact that can give birth to a naturally born elf to have replicas, that’s deeply ingrained in people’s hearts."

So she couldn’t help but ask again, "That mirror... what were the original rules of the senior? Evolving all beings?"

Feng Jun thought for a moment, feeling there was no need to keep it from these two, "Mastering Yin Yang and controlling life and death."

The Yin Spirit Bigwig and Yi Jue exclaimed in unison, "Yin-Yang Mirror?"

Damn... Feng Jun’s mouth twitched, "Is it that famous?"

"The Yin-Yang Mirror is not an ancient artifact," Yi Jue affirmed with confidence, "That’s a Dao Artifact. Although it’s lost now, it’s definitely a Dao Artifact of the life and death rules. Did you get it wrong?"

"She’s wrong," the Yin Spirit Bigwig held an opposing opinion, it whispered quietly, "Dao Artifacts are dead; how could one capable of birthing a naturally born elf be a Dao Artifact? This ancient artifact has a grand origin, maybe the Dao Artifact Yin-Yang Mirrors are all replicas."

All Dao Artifacts are replicas? Feng Jun felt a bit dizzy and could only remark, "It only seals the soul, not obliterates it."

"That is the true Yin-Yang Mirror!" Yi Jue answered without hesitation, "Only obliterating souls is the Murdering Mirror; being able to control life and death is the Yin-Yang Mirror... Actually, it’s very difficult to obliterate many souls, so emphasizing sealing is correct."

"Okay, I don’t want to talk much about this matter," Feng Jun considered that he had no say in this aspect, "But this one carries a lot of weight, and many seniors recognize it, thinking it shouldn’t perish and is worth saving."

"Many seniors..." The Yin Spirit Bigwig was quite sensitive to these four words, knowing you have many powerful beings supporting you, no need to emphasize it.

Yi Jue’s focus was elsewhere; she noted, "This kind of naturally born elf that coexists with an ancient artifact is truly precious. Once it perishes, it’s difficult to give birth to another, but... how can it change the rules of the Sun-Mirroring Glass?"

Feng Jun also didn’t quite understand this, as they continued on their journey with nothing better to do, "It says it can change them, but it needs gradual and subtle influence, which cannot be achieved in the short term... Actually, I’m curious too."

After a moment of pondering, Yi Jue inquired, "What was the level of this ancient artifact when it was in use?"

Feng Jun shook his head straightforwardly, "I don’t know. When I came into contact with it, it didn’t dare to claim it could kill even a Body Integration Realm cultivator... In my thinking, at its peak, it should at least have been at the Tribulation Transcending Stage level, right?"

Not being able to kill a Body Integration Realm... this statement really makes one want to curse, but the Yin Spirit Bigwig remarked, "At the very least, it was at the peak of the Tribulation Transcending Stage, as life and death rules can allow it to cross levels and counter Mahayana cultivators."

"It should be the Mahayana Realm," Yi Jue was unaware there was a Yin Spirit evaluating; she simply analyzed based on her own knowledge, "Dare to call itself an ancient artifact without reaching Mahayana?"

"How can the Tribulation Transcending Stage not be an ancient artifact?" The Yin Spirit was very dissatisfied with this, even though it didn’t dare let Yi Jue discover its presence, but it wanted to express its opinion, "Ancient artifacts aren’t necessarily linked to cultivation level; Transcending Tribulation ancient artifacts can counter Mahayana stage."

Feng Jun didn’t know how to persuade them, he could only say, "My ancient artifact shard requires at least Mahayana Realm to wield."

"Ancient artifact shard, what attributes does it have?" Yi Jue finally showed a bit of interest, "Can it temper will?"

"It can," Feng Jun nodded with certainty, "A slaughter ancient artifact with very strong slaughter rules, I couldn’t withstand it; it was that senior Jing Ling who helped seal it... at least Nascent Soul High Stage to withstand it."

"The Jing Ling helped you seal it," the Yin Spirit immediately reacted, "No wonder, you owe it a favor." ℯℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"I used Spirit Stones to buy it, alright?" Feng Jun was a bit displeased, "Originally, I didn’t need to use Spirit Stones!"

"Don’t take it out; I can’t withstand the slaughtering aura," the Yin Spirit Bigwig stated on its own, "If you want to give it to Yi Jue, you two discuss it later... turn right."

Upon receiving Feng Jun’s instruction, Yi Jue was suddenly stunned, "Turn right... that’s the lava anomaly, are you sure?"
