The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 1138 - 438: Divination Holy Mirror_2

"Yes..."

Mantis Dagger Demon, despite its irritation, had to lower its head at this moment.

The countenance of the Qilin War Armor Demon was unpredictable, and it stood woodenly for several seconds before gritting out a few words through clenched teeth:

"Lady Fula, allow me to make an additional request..."

"The Divination Holy Mirror is the greatest hero of my Land of Lust, and it is dying, beyond the help of any beast. If possible, I wish to beseech you to save its life!"

"What a hassle."

Aegifura smirked and signaled with her eyes to Ye Hanjun.

Ye Hanjun nodded. The path of fate was one of the most supreme principles of this world.

As one who dabbles in the realm of the Soldier’s Holy Spirit, he was quite eager to meet it.

Half an hour later, at the True Dragon Plays with Phoenix Hall.

This palace was incredibly primitive, devoid of murals or sculptures, its ground covered with a thick layer of dust as if it had never been cleaned.

"Lord of the Divination Holy Mirror prefers solitude."

The Qilin War Armor Demon, halved in size, hesitated with a rugged face at the entrance for a while.

Explaining, it then carefully pushed open the doors to the inner chamber, attempting to tread as lightly as possible.

"Swish..."

A cold wind blew in, carrying with it the scent of dying life, causing GuaGua on its shoulder to wrinkle its nose.

"Cough... Cough cough cough..."

"Do we have visitors? Please forgive my lack of strength to greet you, come in..."

An old and hoarse spiritual fluctuation spread like mist.

Ye Hanjun’s mind stirred, and he followed the Qilin War Armor Demon deeper into the hall.

Shortly after, the entirety of the inner chamber came into view.

There were no vessels that humans could use, no beds or furnishings, just a large, silvery cauldron.

The cauldron, seemingly forged from metal, had fire blazing beneath it, but the semi-transparent liquid inside showed no signs of boiling, remaining as still and cold as an icy pool.

In such an environment, there was a shattered mirror, barely cobbled together and floating on the water surface like duckweed.

"Oh, it’s the armor, you’ve come to visit grandpa again..."

"Even Mogo has followed along? I am deeply touched, but unfortunately, I cannot rise to pay respects. Please do not take offense..."

The mirror pieces, large and small, began to outline a phantom eye among them, about the size of a palm.

It looked at the Qilin War Armor Demon, eyes showing contentment.

It turned its gaze to Aegi Mogo, eyes showing surprise.

When it beheld Aegifura, the normally open eyelids suddenly widened.

Upon glimpsing only a corner of Ye Hanjun’s outline, the eye burst apart, shattering the largest mirror piece into powder along with it.

"Crack—crack! Crack! Crack!"

The continuous sound of breakage alarmed the Qilin War Armor Demon, its heart leaping to its throat.

It couldn’t understand what was happening, wanting to intervene.

Yet, seeing the shard-like state of the Divination Holy Mirror, it dared not let its claws truly touch, for fear of causing more harm.

"Holy Mirror grandpa, don’t scare me..."

"I specifically found someone who might be able to save you, how come upon meeting them, you nearly lost the last breath you had?"

The Qilin War Armor Demon was in a state of panic.

The Mantis Dagger Demon, not as concerned, also felt its fur stand on end, sensing a severe threat to its spirit.

"Cough... Cough cough cough..."

The spiritual fluctuation from the Divination Holy Mirror carried a series of coughing sounds as if in great torment.

After a while, it no longer sketched organs like eyes, and when it finally managed to speak again, its tone could not have been more grave:

"I have seen the esteemed descendant of the Ghost Lamp."

"Eh, you actually know about the Ghost Lamp?"

GuaGua curiously asked. Wasn’t the Realm of Desire isolated in nature? How did grandpa mirror come to know about it?

"I am not sure how the Ghost Lamp is faring, but I can recognize your origin."

The Divination Holy Mirror sighed profoundly, speaking in an exceedingly reverent tone, marveling:

"I finally understand why just glimpsing the birth of the Primordial Enchanting Demon nearly resulted in my death by backlash."

"It turns out, Lady Fula’s side is accompanied by such a figure."

"From you, I see a supreme divine light, not just one, but infinite lights!"

"In the grand scheme, there seem to be numerous unparalleled figures behind you; their majesty is like the heavens, a glance from one is enough to shatter the world’s insignificant creatures..."

The Divination Holy Mirror trembled violently, its voice becoming even more chilling:

"Such beings, all casting their gaze upon you, causing your fate to be intricately complex, forever impossible to unravel..."

"I have overstepped my bounds; a Holy Spirit that cultivates the path of fate has no right to meddle with your future. Hence, I bear the consequence, a disaster of my own making..."

"Holy Mirror grandpa?!"

The Qilin War Armor Demon was so alarmed it was tongue-tied, not knowing how to respond.

Its previous look at Ye Hanjun had been one of wariness, with no stark contrasts.

But with the Divination Holy Mirror’s words, it completely discarded any wishful thinking, its cheeks filled with complexities and astonishment.

"Armor, you are a good child."

"Dagger, you have a penchant for killing, but heed my advice, do not provoke the mighty undeservedly."

The Divination Holy Mirror took a breath, then turned to warn Aegi Mogo:

"Mogo, you have been kind to me, but I cannot repay your kindness."

"After today, I will fall, and with that, the lineage of the Divination Holy Mirror will come to an end."

"Hmm?"

Aegi Mogo frowned:

"Mirror grandpa, what nonsense are you spouting?"

"Can’t this person save you? Why have you suddenly become so resolute?"

"Cough cough..."

The Divination Holy Mirror weakly replied:

"All my life I have been cautious, but in the end, I couldn’t escape an unexpected calamity."

"However, if my death can bring prosperity to the Land of Lust, or even the supreme height of the entire Realm of Desire, then I will have no regrets."
