Chapter 714: Chapter 710: Light

Chu Zhiyuan’s sarcastic intention grew stronger at the corners of his mouth, sneering coldly: ”Father lives up to being a Father indeed!”

”Cough, cough.” Chu Hongming also felt that the Emperor’s actions were overly utilitarian.

Clearly, it was a reward, yet the reward was such a ”treasure.”

Calling it a treasure, it’s actually just a piece of junk, nearly decaying in the Imperial Treasury.

It’s said to be passed down from ancient times, but no one knows its authenticity.

Who has truly seen treasures passed down from ancient times?

Besides, even if it’s passed down from ancient times, after such a long period, it might have already decayed.

There is no eternal existence in the world, heaven and earth can decay, human bodies can decay.

All treasures have a day when they perish.

The reason why I didn’t object is that I held onto a sliver of hope.

Chu Liezhao always gives people a sense of surprise, a sense of peculiar hope.

What others cannot accomplish, he might be able to; treasures that others cannot utilize, he might be able to.

The Great Demon Suppressing Seal is one example, the Moon Silkworm Frost Robe is another.

I wonder if this Haoyang Demon-suppressing Mirror will become another instance.

If the Great Demon Suppressing Seal can be combined with the Haoyang Demon-suppressing Mirror, it will surely unleash even more astonishing power.

Of course, what exactly the power of this Haoyang Demon-suppressing Mirror is, and how powerful it is, remains unknown.

There is only one record about the Haoyang Demon-suppressing Mirror: the Ancient Haoyang Divine Sovereign used it to destroy a Grotto Heaven.

This record’s Haoyang Demon-suppressing Mirror is hard to associate with the dilapidated copper mirror before us.

Moreover, the record cannot be compared with the present.

Ancient times are ancient, modern times are modern, and it’s impossible to have such potent treasures again.

Therefore, it’s hard to clarify whether this Haoyang Demon-suppressing Mirror can still be used, if it’s completely decayed, or what power it can exert if usable.

Using such a treasure to reward the meritorious Chu Liezhao is somewhat unprincipled of Elder Brother.

”What nonsense of a treasure!”

Chu Zhiyuan reached out to grab the copper mirror covered in verdigris and hurled it to the ground.

”Bang!” A small pit formed on the floor, and the copper mirror flew far away.

”Ninth Elder!” Chu Hongming was shocked, exclaiming.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at Chu Hongming: ”Fifth Uncle, I can’t bear this treasure!”

”Reckless!” Chu Hongming hurriedly said: ”This has been treasured in the Imperial Treasury for countless years!”

Chu Zhiyuan stomped on the copper mirror vigorously, saying angrily: ”Might as well destroy it, save space in the Imperial Treasury!”

”Ninth Elder!” Chu Hongming hurriedly stepped forward and pushed him aside, bending down to pick up the copper mirror.

He held it in his hand, examining it closely, and sighed in relief.

Fortunately, the copper mirror wasn’t destroyed.

Despite such violent treatment, it only had a few broken pieces of verdigris, leaving no other traces.

This alone indicates it is not an ordinary copper item.

Chu Zhiyuan smirked coldly: ”Fifth Uncle, if you like it, take it, I’ll gift it to you.”

”Elder Brother gifted it to you; keep it well!” Chu Hongming replied irritably: ”Don’t vent your temper on it, it is truly a treasure!”

”Humph, treasure!?” Chu Zhiyuan sneered sarcastically.

He had already discovered the unusual material of the copper mirror, it wasn’t ordinary copper.

Upon testing it, indeed it wasn’t mundane copper.

Under Super Sensing Illumination, he clearly saw divine inscriptions engraved inside the copper mirror.

The exterior didn’t show these inscriptions, they were engraved inside the copper mirror.

The crafting of this copper mirror was exceedingly delicate, layer upon layer, with each having more than ten divine inscriptions, totaling eleven layers.

Except for the top and bottom layers, which appear ordinary with no peculiarities.

The remaining nine layers were all inscribed with divine inscriptions.

Ant-sized divine scripts, with more than ten on each layer, forming an extraordinary mnemonic.

He silently recited this mnemonic in his heart, pondering its mysteries.

Divine inscriptions were profound; he couldn’t fully understand them in such a short time and needed meticulous study.

The craftsmanship of this copper mirror was extremely marvelous; despite having eleven layers, it appeared slim and seamless, without any flaws.

Even though it wasn’t mundane, he didn’t want to show any fondness, instead displaying disdain.

This way, he would make the Emperor feel indebted and compensate with the next reward.

This act was for others to see, pressuring the Emperor to amend the deficiency.

If the Emperor wants to demonstrate fairness, he can’t continue to neglect me.

If unfairness persists, then I cannot be blamed for future actions against the Jade Dynasty.

This ensured a stance of readiness to act or withdraw.

If being in the Phoenix Dynasty is truly unpleasant, then I will just leave, which would be understandable.

With the Emperor constantly shortchanging me, should I still serve loyally as a hostage?

Chu Hongming said: ”Since Elder Brother gifted it, you should keep it well, don’t go overboard and truly anger Elder Brother.”

While speaking, he handed the copper mirror back to Chu Zhiyuan, patting him on the shoulder.

”... All right, listening to Fifth Uncle.” Chu Zhiyuan reluctantly accepted the copper mirror, tucking it into his sleeve.

Chu Hongming smiled: ”Then I’ll be leaving; regarding the ambush setup, you can pause it.”

Chu Zhiyuan frowned: ”The Demon Clan actually held back.”

”This time is somewhat strange.” Chu Hongming slowly said: ”Since they didn’t fall for it, there’s no need to continue wasting time.”

Chu Zhiyuan said: ”It’s not a waste of time, relaxing is also good, continuous cultivation leads to numbness.”

Alternating tension and relaxation is the way of cultivation.

Continuous arduous training instead decreases efficiency; one must maintain a lucid Mental State and spiritual agility.

This requires adequate stimulation.

Watching beautiful dances at night is a great relaxation and enjoyment, able to inspire and enhance understanding.

”Nonsense.” Chu Hongming shook his head.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed: ”Fifth Uncle, you are too tense.”

”With your Transformation Realm.” Chu Hongming laughed, waved, and departed briskly.

He had no desire to get involved in the chaotic affairs between Elder Brother and Chu Liezhao, a mess with endless troubles.

—

Chu Zhiyuan compared and comprehended the Light Ode with the divine inscriptions within the Haoyang Demon-suppressing Mirror.

The Light Ode wasn’t written in divine script but in the present language of the Jade Dynasty.

It was penned by the ancestors.

As he comprehended it, he always had a sense of déjà vu, yet couldn’t quite perceive it.

It was as if veiled by a layer of gauze, mysterious and ambiguous, igniting his curiosity.

After integrating the Miao Ling Pearl, he became exceedingly brilliant, with inspiration flowing like clouds.

Almost anything, he comprehended effortlessly, rarely encountering such a situation.

Now, seeing some of the divine inscriptions within the Haoyang Demon-suppressing Mirror, he suddenly understood.

The entire Light Ode corresponds to two words in the divine inscriptions.

Light.

Having received divine script inheritance, it was engraved in the deepest parts of his soul.

However, lacking both external and internal forces to support the use of divine inscriptions.

Thus, it remained hidden and latent.

After seeing these divine inscriptions, they re-emerged deep in his mind.

Suddenly, he grasped the true meaning of the Light Ode, which was simply two words of light in divine script.

Chu Zhiyuan couldn’t help but ponder that the ancestor might have seen the divine inscriptions.

Not recognizing the divine inscriptions, yet possessing exceptional insight, vaguely touching a trace of the essence.

Profound literary skills combined with innate inspiration crafted the Light Ode.

This Light Ode indeed touched upon the wondrous essence of light in divine script.

Although it didn’t fully convey the essence of the two words of light in divine script, it fell short in some areas.

Suddenly, he felt an impulse.

A White Jade Token appeared in his left hand, and the Autumn Water Divine Blade emerged in his right, its tip gently slicing.

As soon as an odd pattern began to appear, the White Jade Token exploded into powder with a ”bang.”

His face turned pale as paper, and he shook his head helplessly.
