I'm already a Great Luo Golden Immortal, how come you're only Martial Saints?

The air inside the secret vault seemed to have long since stopped, and the items all carried the cold aura of time, like silent old men watching Ning Chen, the intruder.

Ning Chen's gaze swept over the heavily guarded treasures, and several items caught his attention.

A section of lightning-struck wood, charred black but glowing red from within.

A dim crystal with what appears to be a swirling nebula inside.

An antique scroll made of unknown leather, exuding an air of vicissitude.

There is another ancient bronze mirror, covered in thick dust, with Bagua and Four Symbols patterns around its frame.

He closed his eyes, no longer relying on sight, and instead activated the Purple Heaven Profound True Enlightenment Technique, drawing out his pure magical power from his dantian and spreading it outwards like ripples.

Try to use your magic to establish a connection with these dormant things.

Extraordinary opportunities on Earth have been cut off for a long time. If these items can truly be controlled by magic, there should be some reaction.

At first, the secret vault remained completely silent.

But soon, the glass case containing these treasures began to tremble violently.

The items within were also subject to numerous strange phenomena.

The charred, lightning-struck piece of wood emitted a strong, intense heat.

The nebula within the dim crystal spun faster, emitting faint glows.

The ancient scroll turned on its own without any wind, and a silent sound echoed in the room.

However, the most violent reaction came from that seemingly inconspicuous bronze mirror with the Four Symbols and Eight Trigrams!

hum!

A clear, resonant tremor suddenly rang out, echoing directly within Ning Chen's sea of ​​consciousness.

At the same time, the Sun and Moon Pearl, which was floating in his dantian and quietly emitting Daoist charm, suddenly trembled, and its golden and white colors flowed on their own, creating a strong resonance with the bronze mirror!

Click!

The tempered glass cover that sealed the bronze mirror developed fine cracks on its surface, and then, with a loud bang, it shattered instantly.

The bronze mirror transformed into a dazzling stream of azure light, flying directly to Ning Chen and hovering silently.

Dust settled on the mirror's surface, revealing a mirror with a restrained luster and faint electric sparks.

Ning Chen opened his eyes and reached out to grasp the ancient mirror that had come to him.

It felt warm and slightly tingling to the touch, as if I were holding a solid bolt of lightning.

At the same time, the divine prompt message appeared directly in my mind.

[Magic Item: Golden Mirror]

Golden Mirror!

Ning Chen couldn't help but widen his eyes. Knowing about the War of the Gods, he naturally knew that this treasure was originally one of twenty-one!

It is the treasure of the Golden Light Holy Mother, one of the Ten Heavenly Kings of the Jie Sect. There are a total of twenty-one precious mirrors, and the twenty-one mirrors can be arranged into a golden light array.

This array can emit golden light, dazzling and captivating, containing the essence of lightning, and possessing boundless power.

During the Investiture of the Gods, the Golden Light Holy Mother used this formation to kill Xiao Zhen, a disciple of the Jade Void Palace.

The formation was later broken by Guang Chengzi, a Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect, with the Fan Tian Seal. Nineteen of the twenty-one treasure mirrors were completely destroyed and annihilated.

This mirror is one of only two remaining mirrors. It has been lost for countless ages, its spiritual essence obscured until it sensed the presence of the Sun and Moon Pearls, at which point it took flight on its own.

[Status: Minor damage, initial spiritual recovery.]

[Effects: Releases golden light to ward off evil and intimidate the enemy's soul; can draw upon the essence of lightning within the mirror to attack demons; when paired with a supremely yang treasure, they can mutually nourish each other, enhancing each other's quality; with long-term nourishment, the holder's magic power will possess pure yang lightning characteristics.]

The Golden Light Mirror, also known as the Lightning Mirror!

Ning Chen was shaken. Looking at the ancient mirror in his hand, and then at the Sun and Moon Pearl in his dantian that faintly matched the Daoist aura of the Golden Light Mirror, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"I really have a connection with the Jie Sect. I relied on the Sun and Moon Pearl of the Turtle Spirit Mother to establish my foundation, and now I have obtained the Golden Light Mirror of the Golden Light Mother. The pearl and the mirror, the sun and moon shine together, and lightning and thunder complement each other perfectly."

You are the one!

Without further hesitation, he immediately channeled his magic power, opening his mouth to exhale breaths of vital energy onto the mirror surface.

The Golden Mirror trembled slightly, its surface shone brightly, and tiny golden electric snakes darted about, emitting a soft crackling sound!

Ning Chen exhaled a full eighty-one breaths of vital energy!

The Golden Mirror then transformed into a stream of light and entered Ning Chen's body.

It did not enter the middle dantian to compete with the Sun and Moon Pearl for position, but instead sank directly into the lower dantian, where it slowly rotated around the source of the swirling magical power.

Strands of pure lightning power overflowed from the mirror and merged into Ning Chen's magic power.

The process subtly tempered Ning Chen's magical power, giving his originally balanced and peaceful Zixiao magical power a hint of supreme yang and strength, and the thunderous power to destroy evil and vanquish demons.

Luo Zhantian, who was outside the door, had been closely watching the situation inside the secret room. When he saw it, he saw the bronze mirror that had been lying dormant in the secret vault for countless years, which countless experts had tried to activate but failed.

As soon as Ning Chen stepped into the secret vault, it broke the seal and flew out, and was refined and absorbed into Ning Chen's body.

Even with his vast experience, he couldn't help but gasp, his eyes filled with disbelief and astonishment.

"This kid is really something. It seems only true cultivators can awaken these treasures? This kid keeps surprising us!"

Ning Chen felt the Sun and Moon Pearl and the Golden Mirror moving up and down within his body, their Daoist energies converging, continuously stabilizing his Dao foundation.

His magical power became increasingly refined, and he felt even more confident about the upcoming trip to Shuangcha Ridge.

As far as he knew, the Golden Mirror was a spiritual treasure acquired by the Ten Heavenly Kings of the Jie Sect.

It is used to deal with bloodthirsty demons, and its power is countless times stronger than the Five Thunderbolts Talisman bestowed by the Great Immortal Yangli.

Over the next few days, Ning Chen tried every morning to cultivate the Purple Cloud Profound True Enlightenment Technique on the top of the tower of Beijing University, but found that the effect was minimal and he could hardly feel the presence of the Purple Cloud Qi.

He immediately realized that the spiritual energy in this world had long been exhausted and dissipated, which was why there was no extraordinary power. If he wanted to become an immortal, he had to go to the Journey to the West Divine Realm to have even a slight chance.

Fortunately, techniques like Yi Jin Jing, which tap into one's potential, strengthen the body, and stimulate qi and blood, remain unaffected.

Ning Chen practiced diligently every day, either meditating or practicing the Golden Bell Cover and Ape Strike Technique, honing his physique while adapting to the characteristics of magical lightning.

Chen Feng initially harbored the idea of ​​competing with Ning Chen, so he would get up earlier and go to bed later than Ning Chen every day.

But after witnessing Ning Chen practice the Ape Strike Technique several times, his ghostly figure completely convinced him.

With Ning Chen's speed, it wouldn't even take a second to kill him; the two are simply not on the same level.

In the blink of an eye, the seven-day period has arrived.

On the playground of Kyoto University.

Ning Chen, Chen Feng, Tang Hao, Sun Rongrong, and more than a dozen other Divine Realm Travelers who had returned to Blue Star from the first level had all arrived.

In addition, standing beside Luo Zhantian were seven middle-aged and elderly martial artists with deep auras, bulging temples, and restrained eyes.

They stood behind Luo Zhantian with their hands behind their backs, in perfect unison.

Although these martial artists showed no signs of spiritual energy, they possessed vigorous blood and qi, strong bones and muscles, and stood upright like pine trees.

These seven martial arts masters were carefully selected by the National Divine Realm Action Department to participate in this high-risk mission.

They will be an important part of the tactics, entering the Divine Realm together with Ning Chen and the others.

Luo Zhantian checked the tactical arrangements and precautions one last time, then gave Ning Chen a deep look, the meaning of which was complex.

If possible, he still hopes that everyone present can come back alive.

But he also knew that this was clearly wishful thinking.

If we can save Ning Chen, we will have succeeded.

In fact, in the past, Blue Star's method of clearing the second level of the Journey to the West Divine Realm was to use the strategy of sacrificing pawns to save the king.

Ning Chen nodded slightly, indicating to Lao Luo that he should be able to bring everyone back safely if he was not mistaken.

"Gentlemen!"

Luo Zhantian's voice was deep and powerful.

"For the sake of Earth, let's set off!"

The teleportation array shone brightly once more, enveloping everyone present.

After a brief period of weightlessness and a sense of time distortion, everyone's feet landed on a completely unfamiliar black land.

A slightly fishy mountain breeze swept over me, and before me stretched a vast, undulating primeval forest, so densely vegetated that it appeared eerie and terrifying.

Not far away, there are jagged rocks and ancient trees reaching for the sky.

This is the second level of the Journey to the West Divine Realm, Twin Fork Ridge!

Hey!

A deep tiger's roar rang out, and everyone's faces turned ashen!
