Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 1725: Third Rank Seven Profound Treasures: Mirror of Eternity

After their conversation, Wang Yusheng decided to explore the Yin-Yang Immortal Valley himself, leaving Zhang Fei [5] and Wang Jingzhi behind.

”If I’m not mistaken, you’re the owner of the Mirror of Eternity, right?” Wang Jingzhi frowned, but Zhang Fei [5] quickly explained. ”I didn’t mean to snatch the mirror from you because I also possess one of the Seven Profound Treasures, the Sealed World Pearl.”

”Huh?” Wang Jingzhi did not expect that Zhang Fei [5] would possess one of the Seven Profound Treasures. ”If I remember correctly, the Sealed World Pearl is a rank seven treasure, right?”

”That’s right.” Zhang Fei [5] gave her a light nod. ”Unlike the Mirror of Eternity, the Sealed World Pearl has already fused with me, so I can’t show it to you.”

”Fused with your body?” Wang Jingzhi was confused by that, but Zhang Fei [5] touched his forehead, and the symbol of the Sealed World Pearl appeared there. ”I know the name of every artifact of the Seven Profound Treasures, but I have no information about the others except for my mirror.”

”Can you take out the mirror?”

Wang Jingzhi was hesitant to do that, but she remembered that Zhang Fei [5] had already ensured the safety of her Wang Clan, so she immediately summoned the Mirror of Eternity.

As soon as the Mirror of Eternity appeared, it vibrated strongly as if detecting something, followed by a ray of light shooting out from Zhang Fei [5]’s forehead.

The Mirror of Eternity appeared ancient and beyond comprehension. Its surface resembled still water mixed with a galaxy of floating stars, while faint ripples of silver light rippled across it. It radiated a vast, cold, and eternal aura.

”Same reaction.”

”What do you mean by the same reaction?”

”Many years ago, one of my wives obtained the Sky-Severing Sword from a cultivator from the Ancient Realm; the sword and the pearl inside my body gave off the same reaction as if they were connected to each other.”

Wang Jingzhi tried to recall a few things. ”Did your wife get the Sky-Severing Sword in the Forbidden Land the last time it opened?”

”You’re right about that, and Senior Puyang gave the sword to my wife after it chose her to be its master.”

”I see.” Wang Jingzhi nodded in understanding. ”The last time the portal opened, I also wanted to go to the Forbidden Land, but the situation in my clan wasn’t conducive at the time, so I canceled my plans. As for the Mirror of Eternity, I obtained it on the third floor of the Tower of Eternity several decades ago, and it’s been with me ever since.”

”Have you unlocked all the functions of the Mirror of Eternity?”

”Not yet.” Wang Jingzhi looked disappointed. ”The mirror has been with me for decades, but only two of its main functions have been unlocked, and the rest are still sealed. Even so, I can use some of its minor functions, and they are very helpful to me.”

”What are those two main functions?”

”The first function relates to illusions, and the second to the soul. Overall, the mirror has seven functions in total, but I haven’t been able to unlock the others.”

Zhang Fei [5] could more or less guess the first function of the Mirror of Eternity, but he was curious about the second function. ”What do you mean by soul function?”

”I can’t explain it in words, but I know it’s related to the soul, including soul strength, soul repair, and others.” Zhang Fei [5] asked Feng Yao about it through his real body, but she said that it couldn’t be used by anyone else, and only Wang Jingzhi could use it. ”What about your Sealed World Pearl? Have you fully unlocked that artifact?”

”I’ll take you in there so you can see for yourself.”

”Alright.”

Wang Jingzhi was amazed by the situation inside the Sealed World Pearl because it was like a secondary world separated from the real world, and she could see so many types of herbs in the first area. She remembered that Zhang Fei [5] was a god-rank alchemist, so she was no longer surprised to see those herbs.

Wang Jingzhi looked at the second area, finding so many beasts roaming there. Moreover, those beasts weren’t weak, and most of them had already reached the Five Celestial Realm.

”This artifact has five other areas besides this farm area, but I can only open the second area, which is the area where those beasts live.” Zhang Fei [5] suddenly had another idea, but he decided to put it off for now, and he would do it when he had spare time.

”The world inside the Sealed World Pearl is truly impressive, but it still small because not all areas have been opened yet.” Wang Jingzhi returned his gaze to those herbs. ”How did you grow them? I’m not an alchemist, but most of these herbs are quite rare in the outside world, and some of them are exorbitant prices.”

”Did you forget that I have many members of the Dryad Race by my side?”

”Oh.” Wang Jingzhi nodded. ”I don’t know much about the abilities of members of the Dryad Race, but I’ve heard that they can grow all kinds of plants quickly. Since you’re an alchemist, you’re truly fortunate to have them by your side, and you won’t have to worry about running out of herbs.”

”Haha,” Zhang Fei [5] chuckled. ”Besides those Dryads, one of my wives is an azure dragon, and her wood element helps me a lot.”

”An azure dragon, huh?” Wang Jingzhi muttered to herself. ”I remember you’re a nine-tailed fox, and you have a good relationship with Emperor Long, so it’s no wonder you could persuade a female dragon to become your wife.”

”You seem to have extensive knowledge of all the powerful cultivators in this Paradise Realm.” Wang Jingzhi turned sad, confusing Zhang Fei [5]. ”Why is your reaction so strange?”

Wang Jingzhi shook her head slightly. ”My late parents were explorers in the past, and they have been to almost all domains, except those demon domains. They often recounted all their adventures since I was little, including those in the Divine Origin Main Domain in the past. They once met Emperor Long, Senior Tianshi, Senior Xukong, and many others.”

”Why don’t you follow in your late parents’ footsteps and go to those domains?”

Wang Jingzhi smiled bitterly. ”I don’t have the courage of my late parents, and my Wang Clan has been in decline since the deaths of many of our core members. As a younger generation, I focused on my cultivation, and I dreamed of restoring my clan to its former glory. Regretfully, my clan’s decline persisted year after year despite my best efforts.”

”I see.” Zhang Fei [5] remembered Feng Yao’s stories about the disaster that befell the Wang Clan in the past, and he also remembered the cause of Wang Jingzhi’s parents’ death. ”Your clan has settled into my domain now, and I will support it from now on.”

Wang Jingzhi looked at Zhang Fei [5] with a complicated gaze, still confused about his reasons for helping her clan, as they had not known each other before the Tower of Eternity. ”Why are you willing to help us? What do you want from us?”

”Would you believe me if I said I don’t want anything from your clan?”

”No,” Wang Jingzhi shook her head in disbelief. ”There’s no such thing as a free lunch, so I don’t believe you have any ulterior motives for helping us.”

”Haha,” Zhang Fei [5] laughed. ”Do you think your Wang Clan has everything I need with your conditions like that?”

”My Wang Clan is too poor for you.”

”You said that yourself.” Wang Jingzhi just smiled in response to Zhang Fei [5]. ”In fact, I already have almost everything I need, so I don’t need your Wang Clan’s help, and I helped you because I like your brother’s character.”

”Is that all your reason for helping us?”

”Believe it or not, that is my sole reason.” Wang Jingzhi fell silent, still not believing Zhang Fei [5]. ”I have nine alchemy gods, two supreme-rank blacksmiths, two supreme-rank artifact crafters, two rank ten array masters, and several others by my side. With their presence, I dare say that my sect is far superior to the Divine Samsara Sect.”

Wang Jingzhi did not deny that the Moonlit Passion Sect was superior to the Divine Samsara Sect now, and that was her main reason for deciding to accept Zhang Fei [5]’s offer two months ago. Furthermore, he was Empress Huo’s husband, and he also has a close relationship with those powerful cultivators, such as Emperor Long and others. Thus, she firmly believed that her Wang Clan would be able to prosper again if she followed him.

Wang Jingzhi took a deep breath, looked at Zhang Fei [5] intensely, and asked him, ”What can I do to repay your kindness to my clan? As long as you are willing to help my clan prosper like in the past, I will fulfill whatever you want.”

”Sigh!” Zhang Fei [5] sighed and patted Wang Jingzhi’s head. ”I understand your hope for your clan to prosper again, but you don’t have to sacrifice yourself for it. Besides, I haven’t done anything for your clan yet, so you don’t have to think about repaying me now. If your clan has prospered again, we’ll talk about this matter then.”

”Alright.” Wang Jinzhi nodded in agreement. ”I don’t have anything valuable to repay you with now, but I will definitely repay you when my Wang Clan is prosperous again in the future, and you can ask me for anything at that time.”

”Let’s get out.”

”Yes.”
