Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar-Chapter 242 - 232: Master Heavenly River’s High Regard
At the moment the Great Moon Virtual Mirror completely stabilized, Hong Yuan stretched out his large hand, and the Great Moon Virtual Mirror above his head flew towards it.
During its descent, the True Dragon Phantom, the Immortal Qi of Ten Cave Heavens, the boundless starlight, and other astonishing phenomena surrounding the Great Moon Virtual Mirror receded.
The Great Moon Virtual Mirror gradually became inconspicuous, revealing its outermost appearance: a plain Bronze Mirror, round in shape, engraved with a Bird Flying Fish Swimming Picture.
With the turn of Hong Yuan’s will, it could even change its shape and the engraved images.
Simple and unadorned, yet there’s a feeling of bloodline connection, Hong Yuan thought as he firmly grasped it, touching the bronze veins of the Great Moon Virtual Mirror.
It was a very peculiar sensation, as if the Great Moon Virtual Mirror were his third hand.
"Senior Brother, you’re so amazing! You arrived later than I did, yet you finished forging your Life Tao Seed before me," Kun Rong exclaimed.
Then, her face lit up with excitement. "Quick, show us what it does!"
Hong Yuan glanced at Master Heavenly River, who gave a slight nod, also curious about the functions of the Great Moon Virtual Mirror.
Seeing this, Hong Yuan focused his mind.
He released his tight grip on the Great Moon Virtual Mirror, letting it hover in the air before him.
"Tenfold seals, open!" Hong Yuan chanted. The Demon Essence within him suddenly erupted, forming a blue column of light that surged madly towards the Great Moon Virtual Mirror.
The restraints on the Great Moon Virtual Mirror were unlocked one by one, and powerful waves emanated from it.
Soon, the Great Moon Virtual Mirror shot out a white light, which expanded to form a gateway.
The Holy Array and Divine Power are both successfully activated, not bad at all. It has a touch of a Holy Artifact’s grace. I just wonder how good its concealment is... Master Heavenly River nodded inwardly, satisfied.
Hong Yuan stepped forward, flying into the gateway and directly reaching the innermost layer of the Great Moon Virtual Mirror.
The innermost layer of the Great Moon Virtual Mirror was not large. It was a barren and empty expanse, with only a few strands of Great Moon starlight flowing.
"Conceal!"
Inside the inner layer, Hong Yuan formed a Tao Seal, changing the technique.
In an instant, the Great Moon Virtual Mirror retracted all its brilliance, once again becoming a simple bronze mirror. It fell to the ground without causing any ripples.
Kun Rong was clearly watching the Great Moon Virtual Mirror, yet she couldn’t feel Hong Yuan’s presence at all, nor even the essence of the Great Moon Virtual Mirror itself! It was as if what lay before her was truly and genuinely just a Bronze Mirror.
"This, this..." Kun Rong rubbed her eyes, finding it hard to believe.
Master Heavenly River’s eyebrows rose. How surprising! he thought. I can’t sense his Demon Essence, can’t capture any traces, and his fortunes are completely concealed... Deceiving a sixth-tier Demon Saint won’t be a problem, and even some seventh-tier Demon Saints with inferior perceptual abilities might be fooled.
Observing the Bronze Mirror, Master Heavenly River’s eyes gradually brightened. Hong Yuan’s Life Tao Seed is even stronger than I imagined!
"If the Great Moon Virtual Mirror advances to become a Holy Artifact, then it can thoroughly shield heavenly fate, deceiving those undying old fiends without a doubt," Master Heavenly River then whispered admiringly.
In that moment, Master Heavenly River couldn’t help but compare Hong Yuan with Tianli, Shui Lang, and other demons. To my astonishment, this disciple of mine might indeed outlive Tianli and start anew! he realized.
For a while, numerous thoughts flashed through Master Heavenly River’s mind. He lifted his head, gazing at the Star River above. The Star River remained as resplendent and colorful as ever, dreamlike and picturesque, as if eternally unchanging. He, however, was growing old, his Life Span approaching its end.
Glancing at Kun Rong, Master Heavenly River sighed inwardly. Rong’er is talented, but still falls far short of Jiuning, he thought.
Soon, he made a decision. He took out a yellow, earth-colored token, its reverse side containing the water essence of the Huangqu River. This was the Deputy Water Order of Huangqu River. Refining it would make one the second most influential figure in the Huangqu River, receiving the favor of its will!
CRACKLE!
Not long after, the Bronze Mirror once again emitted a beam of white light.
The white light formed a gate, from which Hong Yuan stepped out with ease.
Seeing his master and junior sister again, Hong Yuan felt that Master Heavenly River had become much kinder to him.
"Jiuning, very good. You can withstand loneliness; outlasting Tianli will not be a problem," Master Heavenly River said. "This is the Deputy Water Order of the Huangqu River. Refining it will grant you control over most of the river’s water channels. After I am gone, the Huangqu River Water Tribe and Rong’er will depend on you to take good care of them." He then handed over the yellow, earth-colored token, smiling as he patted Hong Yuan on the head, as if entrusting his final affairs.
"Don’t say such things! Master isn’t going anywhere," Kun Rong said hastily, clapping her hands as if to dispel the ominous words.
"Master, rest assured, I will do my utmost," Hong Yuan said solemnly as he received the yellow, earth-colored token.
He was no ignorant fledgling. Although the Huangqu River could not compare to Heaven Earth Secret Realms like Book Mountain or Reverse River, it was still a top-tier body of water. Possessing this Deputy Water Order meant his status within the Huangqu River’s domain would be greatly elevated, and his comprehension of water-type techniques would become much clearer! Indeed, his status in the Huangqu River would be second only to Master Heavenly River.
"Mm," Master Heavenly River nodded.
Master Heavenly River looked towards Kun Rong. A gust of starry wind blew past, and Kun Rong’s head grew heavy; soon, she fell into a deep sleep. Kun Rong slowly floated before Master Heavenly River, and a mass of starlight and water drifted down from above, washing over her head.
"Don’t worry, I am simply erasing Rong’er’s recent memories," Master Heavenly River said with a kind and compassionate expression.
Hong Yuan nodded. This was also why I glanced at Kun Rong earlier, he thought. As for worrying that Master Heavenly River might be sanctimonious? I’m not afraid of anyone challenging my attainments in the Soul Tao. My Grandmaster Level mastery is not for show!
「Heavenly River Blessed Land.」
「Nine Palace.」
Bo Qing held a scroll, examining the secret transmissions recorded on it. The scroll not only contained the blueprints of the Great Moon Virtual Mirror but also detailed the construction of the Deputy Water Order of the Huangqu River.
Ever since becoming a Sword Saint, Hong Yuan had handed over all matters such as collecting resources and constructing Instruments to Bo Qing. The conveniences of a Saint? One would be a fool not to use them, Hong Yuan reasoned.
"The method of Tao Species, an ancient cultivation technique," Bo Qing murmured, looking down at the scroll.
As he contemplated, the Sword Qi within the palace rose into the air, swirling freely, layer upon layer, like a great river of Sword Qi surging forth.
This was the might of a Saint; a single thought could change the color of heaven and earth.
The Great Moon Virtual Mirror, though not yet a Holy Artifact, already possessed the ability to hide from Demon Saints. It had truly been worth all the effort Hong Yuan had poured into it.
"Ah, so that’s how it is!" Bo Qing realized with sudden enlightenment.
He immediately took out a Communicating Sky Bug from his Beast Control Bag, consumed Immortal Nuance, and connected his will to the Treasured Yellow Heaven.
Within the Treasured Yellow Heaven, treasures shone brilliantly. The wills of several Martial Saints were there conducting trade, and even Demon Saint wills were present.
"Intelligence on Book Mountain appearances..."
"Sale of White-eyed Wolf Exotic Beast Swarm..."
"Seeking to purchase a fifth-rank Earth Tao True Transmission..."
Bo Qing’s will occupied a space, and he then began selling the Reverse Sword Butterfly Monster Clan, as well as posting information to buy Starlight Stones.
Thus, Hong Yuan had already begun to actualize a part of the legacy from the Bloodline Dream Realm of the Cold Moon Dragon.
