Chapter 278 - 279: Entering the Secret Realm
Every Vice Chancellor of the Immortal Ancient Academy establishes a contract with this small cauldron, which is why the cauldron can recognize their blood. If other Martial Saints were to come here, they’d likely be turned into ashes by the cauldron immediately.
The blood of a Martial Saint, every drop is incredibly precious. Just like Mu Can, who just became a Martial Saint, his body didn’t yet contain any Martial Saint’s blood. For the five Vice Chancellors, having just lost a drop, made their complexions exhibit a slight change.
"Line up and enter through the main gates, placing your hands on the Jade Mirror in front of you beforehand," Xuanyuan Mingkong casually declared, conjuring a gigantic jade mirror before the entrance.
"Miraculous Ancient and Modern Mirror," exclaimed an excited young man who looked to be in his twenties and, from his attire, appeared to be a student of the Immortal Ancient Academy.
"The Ancient and Modern Mirror, master’s treasure. I didn’t expect it would be useful here," thought Mu Can.
As Xuanyuan Mingkong’s most admired disciple, how could Mu Can not recognize his master’s treasured item? He had often taken this mirror out to play with it.
The Ancient and Modern Mirror looked just like an ordinary mirror except that its entire structure was made of jade. The dark green jade, incapable of reflecting physical forms, surprisingly took the shape of a mirror.
That’s because this mirror reflects not the face, but the soul.
Anyone who stands before this mirror and touches it will have their soul’s nature reflected upon it. While it might not sound particularly remarkable, this verification process is most appropriate under these circumstances.
The Immortal Ancient Secret Realm is matters of great importance and cannot afford any oversights. Xuanyuan Mingkong’s actions aimed to eliminate those with malintent.
Anyone from the Demon World or Immortal World, daring to touch this mirror, would inevitably show their true form, with no chance of entering the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm.
