Immortal of the Nine Realms

When the two returned to the Cloud Platform, the female cultivators from the Immortal Giant Sect approached Jiang Tian’ai, urging her to return and focus on her cultivation. They mentioned that Profound Immortal Xiu Yue wanted her to prepare for a trip to the Ancient Immortal Road.

Jiang Tian’ai pondered for a moment before turning to Fang Chen and asking, ”Young Master Fang, do you have a Heaven Profound Mirror?”

A Heaven Profound Mirror?

Fang Chen shook his head slightly.

Now that she mentioned it, he actually needed to eventually get a Heaven Profound Mirror to see if it would be useful to him.

Jiang Tian’ai was somewhat disappointed. Since she only had a Heaven Profound Mirror and no Transmission Talismans, she could only repeatedly ask Fang Chen to visit the Immortal Giant Sect when he had time.

By the time Jiang Tian’ai boarded the Immortal Boat and left, only a few people remained on the Cloud Platform. The remaining leaders of the clans were still discussing matters with Langya Xing Zhou.

Seeing Fang Chen return, Langya Xing Zhou dismissed the other leaders and approached him with Langya Wenqiu.

”Friend Fang, did Langya Baitian offend Young Master Gai Hong?” Langya Xing Zhou asked directly.

Langya Wenqiu looked quite hesitant, but she chimed in as well. ”Senior Brother Fang, Senior Baitian is only in the Enlightenment Realm. Normally, he shouldn’t have anything to do with Young Master Gai.”

Fang Chen smiled. ”You need not worry too much. Langya Baitian is a cultivator of the Spirit Blood Sect.”

The Spirit Blood Sect?

Langya Wenqiu was immediately stunned.

Langya Xing Zhou seemed to recall something and muttered to himself, ”He is the ancestor of Langya Yu’s lineage. If he is a cultivator of the Spirit Blood Sect, then it all falls into place.”

Langya Wenqiu took several moments to process the news. Upon realizing that even high-ranking ancestors of the clans had been recruited by the Spirit Blood Sect, a look of deep resentment appeared in her eyes.

”Junior Sister Wenqiu, I’d like to ask you about the Heaven Profound Mirror,” Fang Chen said casually.

Langya Wenqiu was a bit surprised, ”Heaven Profound Mirror? Senior brother, do you not have one?”

”Heaven Profound Mirrors are mostly used in the Central Continent Empire. Not all cultivators use them,” Langya Xing Zhou said with a smile.

With that, he thought for a moment before taking out a copper mirror from his storage ring and handing it to Fang Chen. ”Friend Fang, this Heaven Profound Mirror hasn’t been used before. It’s a mid-grade, profound-rank treasure with two Dao Imprints. Higher grade Heaven Profound Mirrors consume less energy and can reveal more information, with a range of about one prefecture.”

One prefecture?

Fang Chen was a bit surprised. Although the range seemed small, the territory of one prefecture in the Central Continent Empire was vast, perhaps even bigger than a second-tier empire’s territory.

So the Heaven Profound Mirror is also a type of artifact, and it comes in different grades....

”Friend Fang, after you refine it, take some time to familiarize yourself with it. The Heaven Profound Mirror is not difficult to use. I’ll go talk to those leaders first,” Langya Xing Zhou said, smiling and turning to leave without taking Langya Wenqiu.

Langya Wenqiu wore a cheerful smile. ”Senior Brother Fang, you don’t yet understand the wonders of the Heaven Profound Mirror. After you refine it, I’ll teach you how to use it.”

***

The two returned to the Immortal Boat. After Fang Chen refined the Heaven Profound Mirror, Langya Wenqiu excitedly began to teach Fang Chen how to use it.

“Senior brother, look, as long as we gently touch the Heaven Profound Mirror, you’ll see a new light spot appear in your mirror, right? This light spot represents me. In the future, when we’re far apart, we can use the Heaven Profound Mirror to communicate.”

“However, your Heaven Profound Mirror is of a higher grade than mine. Since my mirror’s grade is too low, sometimes you’ll be able to find me, but I won’t be able to reply to you.

“Also, the higher the grade of the Heaven Profound Mirror, the more light spots it can store. My mirror is only top-grade, yellow-rank, so it can store ten light spots. I just deleted one, so the brightest one now is yours!”

“Why is it the brightest?”

“Because we’re very close. This is also one of the wonders of the Heaven Profound Mirror. Therefore, unless you trust someone a lot, it’s best not to store their light spots to avoid revealing your location.”

“What about the usage conditions? I heard in the Immortal Dynasty Manor that it requires spirit stones. Can’t I use spiritual energy?” Fang Chen asked casually.

“To send messages indiscriminately using the Heaven Profound Mirror, spirit stones are required. The spiritual energy of spirit stones is slightly different from the spiritual energy we have in our bodies. It’s like how mid-grade spirit stones can help cultivators breakthrough, but low-grade spirit stones can’t for cultivators of the same level.”

“The more spirit stones you inject, the purer the spiritual energy, and the wider the broadcast range. But you don’t have to worry about wasting spirit stones, Senior Brother Fang. The Heaven Profound Mirror will stop absorbing once it has had enough spirit stones.”

Fang Chen pondered. For now, he didn’t need the broadcasting function, but he would test its limits when necessary.

At that moment, the Heaven Profound Mirror suddenly gathered spiritual energy before forming characters and images intermittently.

People from the Hundred Corpse Dao Sect, listen up! From now on, I will kill you every time I see you. Let’s see if you dare to stay in the Azure Dao Manor!

That was one of the messages.

The spiritual energy gathered again, forming an image of celestial mountains and clouds. An old man, appearing profound and inscrutable.

The Kumu Dao Sect’s hundred-year mountain closure has ended. Today we officially reopen the mountain and will select one hundred disciples.

Langya Wenqiu leaned in to take a look, chuckling. “The Kumu Dao Sect is finally opening its doors to the world. I heard they had to close the mountain for a hundred years because they offended someone powerful. It seems the misunderstanding with that person has been resolved.

“As for the Hundred Corpse Dao Sect, they must have offended a powerful figure. This person is making their intentions clear to drive them away.”

“Interesting,” Fang Chen said with a smile, nodding.

Messages like these, which were passively received, didn’t require him to inject spirit stones or spiritual energy.

He suddenly thought of the Killing Spiritual Division’s token. It was somewhat similar to the Heaven Profound Mirror but lacked some features. The Killing Spiritual Division’s token could only send voice messages and could not transmit images. It was likely a similar product made by imitating the Heaven Profound Mirror.

Why doesn’t the Killing Spiritual Division use the Heaven Profound Mirror? Are there some hidden risks that could compromise the safety of the Killing Spiritual Division members? Fang Chen wondered.

“Senior Brother, several of my senior brothers and sisters from the Extreme Sword Peak said that the trouble has been resolved. They will arrive at the Cloud Platform in a few days. When they get here, we can meet and then return to the Void Immortal Sword Sect together, alright?” Langya Wenqiu said

Fang Chen nodded. “Alright.”

After Langya Wenqiu left, Fang Chen returned to his room to organize his storage ring.

Currently, his storage ring contained 1,267 mid-grade spirit stones, and three low-grade, profound-rank spiritual treasures: one obtained from Xue Lingjun of the Parting Fiery Dao Sect, and two given by Langya Xing Zhou. There were also 12 Feather Spirit Pills.

These were valuable items. Even though Fang Chen’s cultivation method was somewhat unique, the Feather Spirit Pills would still be highly beneficial for his advancement. When he last used the Feather Spirit Pills, he was at the Foundation Building Realm and couldn’t fully utilize their effects. Now that he was at the Golden Core Realm, the pills should have an even greater impact.

Fang Chen called Li Daoye over and handed him 67 mid-grade spirit stones.

“Gasp... Are these mid-grade spirit stones?” Li Daoyue exclaimed in shock.

“Keep 30 of them for yourself and give the remaining 37 to Pei Qingfeng. These spirit stones will be sufficient for quite some time,” Fang Chen said, nodding. ℴ

Li Daoyue was overjoyed. This was truly his opportunity! He had indeed come to the right place! Even just 30 mid-grade spirit stones were incredibly valuable. Each mid-grade spirit stone could be easily exchanged for a staggering amount of spirit stones.

However, he wouldn’t be so foolish as to exchange them. These spirit stones were used even by mid-stage Golden Core Realm cultivators. if he used one or two when he reached the peak of the Foundation Building Realm, he might easily break through the bottleneck!

After Li Daoye left, Fang Chen took out 500 mid-grade spirit stones and infused them into the Stone Bead, entering the Three Thousand Dao Realm once again.
