The Heavenly Observation Mirror was broken.
This news shocked Great Emperor Mie Yu. As an expert from the same era as Xing Weng, he knew what the Heavenly Observation Mirror meant.
That was a legendary Primal Chaos Treasure that could allow one to find the opportunity to become an Utmost Paragon.
"What's going on?"
Emperor Mie Yu frowned in confusion.
Xing Weng walked to a green rock and sat down. "I'm old now. I can't sit like I used to. Please forgive me, Great Emperor Mie Yu."
Great Emperor Mie Yu shook his head. If he was at his peak and had a bad temper, he might have thought that Xing Weng was disrespecting him. However, after being in a deep slumber for so long, there were very few people who were still alive in the same generation as them.
He didn't care about this. He only wanted to save Leng Xian in the Soul River.
"Back then, everyone knew that I had obtained the Heaven Observation Mirror. Furthermore, they ganged up on me and forced me to hand over the Heaven Observation Mirror. However, who would've known that the Heaven Observation Mirror that I had obtained was not real at all?"
"What?"
Great Emperor Mie Yu exclaimed. This news was too shocking.
He vaguely remembered that eighty percent of the world's experts had moved out to snatch the Heavenly Observation Mirror. They had used all kinds of methods. The battle was earth-shattering. Even the heavens and earth had almost collapsed.
But now, Xing Weng was telling him that the Heavenly Observation Mirror was fake?
How could he accept this?
To be honest, Great Emperor Mie Yu had also secretly participated in the battle for the Heavenly Observation Mirror. Many experts had died in his hands.
But in the end, he didn't get the Heavenly Observation Mirror.
Great Emperor Mie Yu's face was filled with shock.
"Fake?
How is that possible? "
Xing Weng sighed. That incident was a painful memory. Every time he thought of the Heavenly Observation Mirror, he would think of that incident.
"If it wasn't for the Heavenly Observation Mirror, I wouldn't have fallen to this state."
Xing Weng said casually. "When I got the Heavenly Observation Mirror, I also thought that it was real and could help me find the Heavenly Observation Mirror."
"In that great war that engulfed the entire world, I relied on the Heaven Observation Mirror to deceive everyone and survive. It was also at that time that I learned that what I had was not the real Heaven Observation Mirror, but a replica."
Xing Weng seemed to have aged when he recalled this.
"Replica?
What about the real Sky Observation Mirror? "Great Emperor Mie Yu asked.
"The real Heavensight Mirror was acquired by a Paragon long ago. The replica I got was the handiwork of one of the Paragons, all for the sake of causing a great war …." At this point, Star-Wight fell silent.
Even though it was a replica, it still gave him a lot of benefits. In fact, it was much more powerful than ordinary Chaos Supreme Treasures.
However, replicas were still replicas after all. As time passed, flaws would appear.
After the world-shaking war ended, Xing Weng also disappeared without a trace. Everyone believed that Xing Weng had died in the war and that the Sky Observatory Mirror had been obtained by some expert.
The search for the Sky Observation Mirror continued.
However, no one would have thought that Xing Weng would trigger the Sky Observation Mirror replica, causing him to be heavily injured and trapped inside the Sky Observation Mirror.
For countless years, he had been fighting against the Heaven Observation Mirror every single day.
Until one day.
He had discovered that the Heavenly Observation Mirror had been shattered, and he had successfully escaped from danger. After that, he had been sleeping under this land for many years. He had witnessed the battle of the gods at the Cliff of Death with his own eyes. He had also witnessed the rapid development of the Devouring Demons.
He even knew who had shattered the Sky Observation Mirror replica.
"How could this be?"
Emperor Mie Yu couldn't accept this fact.
The Sky Observation Mirror that he had been longing for was actually a replica and had been shattered by someone.
"The existence of the Sky Observation Mirror affects the operation of the Heavenly Dao in the Origin World and absorbs the Heavenly Dao's Providence. That's why the Devouring Demon Patriarch shattered it and completely refined it."
Xing Weng recalled that the Devouring Demon Patriarch was the most powerful existence he had ever seen. He was a supreme expert who had the potential to become a Primal Chaos Controller.
Back then, the Devouring Demon Patriarch had shattered the Sky Observation Mirror replica with a casual wave of his hand. He hadn't cared about Xing Weng, who had been trapped inside the Sky Observation Mirror.
"Then who has the real Sky Observation Mirror?" Emperor Mie Yu asked.
"Fan Hu Prime," Xing Weng said.
Star Weng said, "Back then, when Autarch Fan Hu obtained the Sky Observatory Mirror, he wanted to become a Primal Chaos Controller. The reason he created the replica was to cause a great war and absorb the life force and Primordial Spirit fragments of the experts who died in battle.
Unfortunately, the result hadn't been as he had wished.
Becoming a Primal Chaos Controller was too difficult.
"Fan Hu Prime?"
Emperor Mie Yu's pupils shrank as his body trembled. "Is he still alive?"
Fan Hu Prime had been publicly acknowledged as a top expert in their era. Was he still alive after obtaining the Sky Observation Mirror?
Xing Weng shook his head. "I don't know."
Everyone who hadn't become a Prime was an ant.
They didn't know anything about Primal Chaos Sovereigns, and they would never be able to reach that level unless they personally stepped into the Primal Chaos Realm.
"The mysteries of heaven and earth are unparalleled. Even though we once stood at the peak, we still couldn't see the true face of the world. Only by stepping into the Primal Chaos Realm do we have the right to pursue the illusory legends," Xing Weng said.
"It's not easy for us to survive from the most ancient era until now. Let's treasure it."
Xing Weng then dragged his hunched body back to the thatched hut.
Emperor Mie Yu stood on the ground in a daze. He'd always thought that he was only a step away from becoming a Prime, but after hearing Xing Weng's words, his heart was in chaos.
The Sky Observation Mirror that he'd risked everything and almost lost his life for back then was just a replica refined by Fan Hu Prime.
"Ridiculous, really ridiculous."
Suddenly, Emperor Mie Yu revealed a self-deprecating smile and left.
In the thatched hut, Xing Weng sighed and closed his eyes in pain.
…
Not long after, Fang Chen and Princess Huang arrived at a mountain range. As soon as they entered the mountain range, they felt a gloomy and terrifying feeling.
"This mountain range isn't simple. Be careful."
The closer they were to the place where the Ghost Artifact appeared, the more dangerous it was.
Fang Chen looked around vigilantly. Princess Huang's fair hand held the token given by her master, ready to activate it at any time.
Buzz!
Intermittent wails could be heard in the air.
Fang Chen frowned and listened carefully. "Is this a resentment that hasn't dissipated since ancient times?"
No wonder the yin qi in this mountain range was so heavy. It turned out that there was a resentment that hadn't dissipated since ancient times.
"Let's go and take a look."
Following the resentment, Fang Chen and Princess Huang rushed over. Countless bones were buried by the wind and sand under their feet. Squeaking sounds could be heard when their feet stepped on them.
The cold wind rustled, and the resentment that hadn't dissipated since ancient times wailed in the wind.
The Divine Beast bloodline in Fang Chen's body showed signs of abnormality.
