Chapter 10 The Birth of the Haotian Mirror
Unaware of his surroundings, Chang Hao proceeded according to his plan. When he reached a low-lying area shrouded in mist and water, a beam of light rushed towards him and stopped directly in front of him.
Judging from the dazzling light emanating from this object, it must be of the innate spiritual treasure grade. Chang Hao raised his hand, about to put away this opportunity that had fallen from the sky.
Unexpectedly, when the light dissipated, the two characters 'Haotian' appeared on the mirror. Chang Hao's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back, hoping that the smoke would dissipate. Haotian, it's Haotian again. It seems that the two characters Haotian have chosen him and will not give up until they achieve their goal.
This was the second time. Chang Hao's suspicions rose. After thinking it over, he realized that if those who had grudges against him knew that he was the "him" in the chaos, they would have already laid out their plans and settled things in a thorough and decisive battle. After much thought, the only thing left was the "curse" left by the unknown monster that he had tricked to death.
The association of the name 'Haotian' with a curse makes the Haotian Mirror a hot potato for Chang Hao, something he can neither touch nor handle.
The appearance of a treasure will inevitably attract those who covet it, and Chang Hao sincerely hoped that someone would appear to intercept it.
But the Haotian Mirror was fixated on Chang Hao. It advanced when Chang Hao retreated, moved left when Chang Hao moved right, and followed him like a shadow, firmly blocking his path. Even when Chang Hao knocked it away, the Haotian Mirror still relentlessly kept moving closer to him.
Chang Hao extended two fingers, placed them on a clean white handkerchief, intending to seal the Haotian Mirror before throwing it far away.
"Fellow Daoist, please wait." The voice came from afar, and two figures arrived one after the other.
Yuanshi, hidden in the shadows, stared at the two Western visitors with ill intent. They dared to bully the Three Pure Ones; did they have a death wish?
The Taoist priest, whose face was filled with sorrow and whose eyes held a deep compassion, said urgently, "This item is destined for my fellow disciples. I hope you will understand."
"How do you know?" Chang Hao asked curiously. Now that the mirror was in front of him, no matter how he looked at it, it should have a stronger connection with him.
"The mirror is malevolent, heading straight for you, fellow Daoist. If you receive it, the malevolent energy will enter your body, and you will face great calamity in the future." Jieyin glanced at the casually made-up words and said, "It's better to abandon me."
Chang Hao's expression changed slightly. Were these two really capable, or were they just making things up?
"Senior brother, why say so much? A mere Taiyi Golden Immortal is no problem to kill." The voice of the Zhunti Daoist, who was imbued with the aura of Geng metal, reached my ears. Although his face was round, one could still see a sense of poverty and destitution.
Chang Hao noticed something amiss from the subtle expressions on the faces of the two uninvited guests. He glanced down at the Haotian Mirror he was holding in his hand through a handkerchief, weighed the pros and cons, and was about to toss it to the other side. Of course, it wasn't because of the threat posed by the two Great Luo Golden Immortals, but rather because he was eager to get rid of the Haotian Mirror.
“In that case, I will give it to you, fellow Daoist.” After saying this, Chang Hao threw the Haotian Mirror toward Jieyin Zhunti.
"Wait!" Yuanshi couldn't hold back any longer. He emerged from the shadows and questioned Jieyin and Zhunti aggressively, "Treasures have spirits and choose their own masters. You two clearly took advantage of my third brother's isolation and powerlessness to forcibly take him away. Please return him immediately."
Then, he glared at Chang Hao with a look of disappointment and said, "Third brother, although I always scold you for being ruthless and aggressive, and often cause trouble, and often tell you to restrain yourself, I don't mean for you to be a sucker."
He began his usual reprimand, only satisfied when Chang Hao did not refute him.
Chang Hao was completely bewildered. Third brother? When did he gain two older brothers? No, has this fellow cultivator gone mad? Who randomly recognizes brothers?
Zhunti gripped the struggling Haotian Mirror, staring intently at the hostile Yuanshi. Although the newcomer's strength and realm surpassed his, he and his fellow Daoist were not without a fighting chance. "This item is destined for me..."
Yuanshi took out a jade ruyi and threw it at them, saying, "Whether we are destined to be together or not, let's have a fight first."
Zhunti had to control the Haotian Mirror while also dealing with Yuanshi's fierce attacks, leaving him looking disheveled and defeated.
Jieyin took out a wooden fish, intending to fight two against one, but was stopped by Chang Hao.
Although Chang Hao did not know Yuan Shi, he would not stand idly by and watch Yuan Shi, who had clearly come to help him, be bullied right under his nose.
He took out the peach wood sword that the peach tree had voluntarily given him and that he had made himself, and thrust it directly at the attacker. The sword light was cold and the sword energy was chilling, and he actually withstood the attack of the attacker who was of a higher level.
The Haotian Mirror shone brightly, breaking free from Zhunti's control as he was unable to withstand Yuanshi's fierce attack. Zhunti immediately struck the Haotian Mirror towards Jieyin's location, saying, "Senior brother, catch this."
But Haotian Mirror had its own ideas. It changed its angle halfway and rushed straight at Chang Hao.
Oh no! Chang Hao was alarmed. This scoundrel had come back again. Without thinking, he dodged behind the guide.
The guide, seeing that Heaven was helping him, quickly reached out to take the Haotian Mirror. However, the Haotian Mirror was on guard and shone brightly again, actually backing away as if it were extremely disgusted.
Jieyin was stunned. How could he be so unappealing to the treasure?
Zhunti was filled with grief and indignation. It was one thing that the West was not as blessed with outstanding people and resources as the East, but even innate spiritual treasures avoided them.
During this delay, Yuanshi had already positioned himself in front of Chang Hao, with the Jade Ruyi in hand and the auspicious clouds of the heavens protecting him. He could easily fight the two of them, showing a ruthless determination to kill them both on the spot.
Seeing that things were hopeless, Jieyin bowed to Yuanshi and said, "It was my brother and I who were impolite. This thing has come all the way here, so it is naturally more destined to be with you, Daoist. May I ask your name, Daoist?"
While they were at it, they held Zhunti back. The two of them had just broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and their cultivation was unstable. Even if they joined forces, they couldn't defeat a master who had been a Great Luo Golden Immortal for a long time. Why make trouble and embarrass themselves?
"Of the Three Pure Ones of Kunlun Mountain, I am Yuqing Yuanshi. Do you remember me clearly?" Yuanshi announced his identity directly, his pride unyielding, looking down at the two down-on-their-luck Taoists.
The name of the Three Pure Ones of Kunlun is as famous as thunder. Jieyin and Zhunti suddenly felt dizzy. Just now, Yuanshi said that his third brother was Shangqing Tongtian.
Unfortunately, the brothers immediately tried to deceive the Three Pure Ones, which offended them greatly.
Zhunti glanced at the person he had just tried to bully and thought to himself, "They're blind! What looks weak isn't necessarily weak; it could be an illusion."
Shangqing Tongtian, I've seen him once before, and he didn't look like this?
Zhunti learned another lesson: one should not judge a book by its cover. He went back and wrote it down. From now on, he would observe people's aura and see how they would bully others.
After Jieyin and Zhunti fled, Chang Hao, having just learned a technique called "Fate," handed the Haotian Mirror he was holding to Yuanshi, saying, "I see that this item seems to have a connection with you, so I'm giving it to you, fellow Daoist, and also to thank you for your help."
Chang Hao had no guilty conscience about scheming against others. He believed it was better to sacrifice a friend than himself. After all, they had only met by chance, and now that they were parting ways, who would remember whom?
As for the third brother and such, who wouldn't covet innate spiritual treasures? Chang Hao thought that Yuanshi was just making up a reason to take action and didn't investigate further.
Yuanshi almost laughed in anger. He changed his appearance and concealed his cultivation, and even he was almost fooled. Did he really think he could deceive everyone? Why didn't you know to conceal the rich Shangqing Qi around you?
