Fang Yang, you wait for me too!

Chapter 124 Fang Yang, you wait for me too!

Mo Zheng followed the gaze of the five-clawed golden dragon and looked at the golden chair.

Unfortunately, just like before, it was completely empty, and I couldn't see anything.

"Where is the Haotian Mirror?"

Mo Zheng couldn't help but say to the five-clawed golden dragon, "There's clearly nothing on that golden chair!"

"Oh? I almost forgot, you little guy aren't a born being yet, you haven't opened your third eye."

The five-clawed golden dragon blinked and waved its claws in front of Mo Zheng. Instantly, endless spiritual energy from heaven and earth rushed into Mo Zheng's body.

This power was concentrated on Mo Zheng's eyes, and he felt as if something near his eyes had been opened.

When that power disappeared, he opened his eyes again and found that his eyesight had improved a lot. He could see more subtle things. For example, the patterns on each scale of the five-clawed golden dragon were faintly condensing into mysterious runes. And on the golden chair, there was a mirror, a light golden mirror.

"There really is a mirror, my eyes—"

Mo Zheng blinked in disbelief. There was nothing there just now, so how did a mirror suddenly appear?

Moreover, that mirror was about twenty feet in diameter, extremely tall and conspicuous, and a faint golden flame appeared around it from time to time, which anyone could see.

"Don't blink. The Haotian Mirror is a treasure of the Heavenly Palace, containing the laws of space. Unless you are willing to manifest it, ordinary mortal beings cannot see this mirror at all."

Seeing Mo Zheng's surprised expression, the five-clawed golden dragon couldn't help but laugh and said, "This time I will help you open your Heavenly Eye. When you open the five realms of the mortal world, this eye will save you a lot of effort."

Above the internal organs is the opening of the orifices, which is the martial saint.

According to the records of the Wind and Fire Qi Sword, the cultivation at the Martial Saint level mainly involves opening acupoints and connecting with heaven and earth.

However, Mo Zheng is only at the minor completion stage of the Visceral Realm, and is still far from becoming a Martial Saint, not to mention the cultivation after becoming a Martial Saint. Therefore, upon hearing the words of the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, he was not too happy. Instead, he carefully examined the treasure called the Haotian Mirror.

On this mirror, one could see tiny cracks, from which sparks occasionally leaked out. Those wisps of fire seemed to contain a terrifying power that made Mo Zheng tremble with fear.

The mirror body is like it was cast in gold, with many patterns engraved on it, and you can vaguely see an unidentified bird on it. There is also a lot of damage on it.

Overall, it gives people a sense of superiority and domineering arrogance, as if it were the master of heaven and earth.

In the myths and legends of the past, there was also the Haotian Mirror, which was a treasure of the Heavenly Emperor. I wonder if this mirror has any connection with it.

"The Haotian Mirror is incredibly powerful, capable of easily destroying a fragment of a world. The true fire of the sun contained within it can not only burn matter but also destroy space and burn souls. It once literally burned a great being who controlled the Middle Thousand Worlds to death, which is terrifying."

"It's a pity you're too weak. Without my help, you can't even see the Haotian Mirror, let alone refine it."

"Work hard in your cultivation. When you reach the fifth level of the mortal realm, you'll be able to barely get it to recognize you as its master."

As Mo Zheng listened to the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon's explanation, he couldn't help but marvel at the power of the mirror.

A great being who controlled the Middle Thousand Worlds was burned to death alive!

According to the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, if extremely powerful innate beings can be born in the Lesser Thousand Worlds, how powerful must the rulers of the Middle Thousand Worlds be?

Such beings all died beneath this mirror!

Mo Zheng couldn't imagine how powerful this mirror truly was, but now he had the chance to become the owner of this incredibly powerful treasure.

"I've told you everything I need to say. Now put the talisman away. When you reach the fifth realm of mortal life, you can crush it and return to this Haotian Secret Realm."

Mo Zheng obeyed and put away the token hanging in front of him. On the pale gold token was engraved an ancient and mysterious character:

day!

Just like all the characters he had seen while exploring the outer realm, he didn't recognize them, but the content automatically appeared in his mind.

However, this character "天" is different from the others, giving people a sense of temporal and spatial dislocation.

"Alright, you've received the token, and I've told you everything you wanted to know. You can leave now," said the five-clawed golden dragon. "I'll see you out now."

Upon hearing this, Mo Zheng urgently said, "Stop!"

"What's wrong?"

The five-clawed golden dragon asked, puzzled, "Don't you want to go out? A few months ago, when you were practicing the Seven Forms of Refining the Spirit, didn't you really want to go out?"

"Are you just letting me go like this? The rewards for the first and second levels were so generous, and after I passed the third level and the special level, all I got was a token? They said I was the owner of the Haotian Mirror, but I can't use it at all now." Mo Zheng couldn't help but ask.

No matter how powerful the Haotian Mirror is, it has nothing to do with him now.

He truly faced life and death in the third and fourth levels, but he was asked to leave without any reward. This is so out of character for the Haotian Secret Realm.

If he really leaves like this, wouldn't all those two trials have been for nothing?

The five-clawed golden dragon blinked helplessly: "Didn't I tell you? The reward for the third level was to join the Heavenly Palace, but the Heavenly Palace has been destroyed for 100,000 years, so joining wouldn't help. And the reward for the special level is the Haotian Mirror. What can I do if you can't take it?"

"What about the Sunfire Fruit? And the chance to possess martial arts? Nothing else, can't you reward me with more of these two?"

The effects of the Sunfire Fruit and the possession to comprehend martial arts were both incredibly good. Just one Sunfire Fruit allowed Mo Zheng to break through to the Internal Organs Realm and even awaken his bloodline talent. The Sunfire Fruit directly enabled Mo Zheng to go from a novice in the Blazing Fire Sword Intent to comprehending a trace of the Blazing Fire Intent. Of course, Mo Zheng wanted to have more.

"I can't give it to you. When the Haotian Secret Realm was established, it was stipulated that a reward would be given for each level cleared. Even I cannot violate this rule. Hmm, let me think of something else."

The five-clawed golden dragon frowned in thought, then suddenly laughed and said, "I've got it! You're quite lucky, little guy. The Heavenly Palace disciple who guarded this Haotian Secret Realm left behind a spiritual weapon after he passed away, which you can use right now."

After saying that, it reached out with its claws and pulled out two orbs of light from the vast clouds.

Within the ball of light was a soft armor, entirely silver-white, radiating a faint silver glow.

"This is the standard armor of my Heavenly Palace disciples, called the Silver Spirit Armor. It is a low-grade spiritual weapon."

"A spirit weapon?" Mo Zheng couldn't help but ask, "What is a spirit weapon? How does it compare to the divine weapon in my hand?"

The five-clawed golden dragon glanced at the Crimson Flame Divine Sword in Mo Zheng's hand and said contemptuously, "It's just a trinket of mortal life. How dare you call it a divine weapon? How can it compare to the spiritual weapons of my Heavenly Palace? You really are a frog in a well. You should know that spiritual weapons are weapons that even innate life forms yearn for."

They certainly have a big mouth.

Mo Zheng had personally experienced the power of the Crimson Flame Divine Weapon, which was truly incomparably powerful, yet it became a mere trifle in the mouth of this five-clawed golden dragon.

Mo Zheng's face showed a hint of resentment.

"Don't be unconvinced. This Silver Spirit Armor not only has strong defensive capabilities, but it also has the ability to change size at will. Although it's not considered a top-tier spirit weapon, its protective power is so strong that no one in this fragment of your world can break through it, not even those few innate beings. If you don't believe me, try cutting it with this weapon after you've done the blood oath ceremony, and you'll know."

It blew a breath, and the silver soft armor appeared in front of Mo Zheng.

In this world, no one can break through it?

Mo Zheng gazed at the silver spirit armor, wanting to test it out, so he immediately cut his finger and dripped a drop of blood onto it.

Instantly, the silver soft armor transformed into a beam of silver light, enveloping Mo Zheng's entire body. Once the silver light disappeared, it spontaneously donned his body, quickly conforming to his size and feeling warm, smooth, and extremely comfortable to the touch.

A sense of dependence and closeness emanated from the silver soft armor, which startled Mo Zheng.

"This...this armor is alive?"

Mo Zheng was very surprised; he could feel the Silver Spirit Armor transmitting information to him.

"You've sensed the Silver Spirit Armor's consciousness?"

The five-clawed golden dragon laughed and said, "Since it's a spirit weapon, it naturally has sentience. This is still a low-grade spirit weapon; there are three levels above it: Heaven Rank, Earth Rank, and Human Rank. Spirit weapons above the Human Rank have such strong sentience that they can communicate with their masters and even fight enemies spontaneously without the master's command. They are far superior to your ordinary weapons."

Isn't that similar to the intelligent AI of the previous life?

Mo Zheng stared at the five-clawed golden dragon before him. It claimed to be the spirit of the Haotian Secret Realm, yet it was almost indistinguishable from a living person. It was likely that the Haotian Secret Realm was also a spiritual weapon, but it was unclear which of the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man it mentioned. Perhaps it was the Heaven realm, who knows?

However, seeing him once again belittle the Crimson Flame Sword—

Mo Zheng raised the Crimson Flame Divine Weapon and slashed it fiercely at the Silver Spirit Armor on his body!

In an instant, the Silver Spirit Armor trembled, and a soft yet powerful resistance came from it, forcefully repelling the Crimson Flame Divine Sword. The dark red heavenly fire did not leave a single burn mark on the silver soft armor, nor even a scratch.

this----

Mo Zheng's pupils contracted. The Crimson Flame Divine Sword was an exclusive divine weapon for Martial Saints, and its sharpness was unparalleled. Yet it couldn't even cut through the Silver Spirit Armor!

The heavenly fire attached to it, according to the sect leader, can even burn the body of the Beast King!

Somewhat skeptical, he poured in his inner energy, and the dark red flames on the Crimson Flame Divine Sword immediately intensified, its sharp aura spreading in all directions, sending chills down one's spine.

call out!

The dark red sword blade transformed into a bolt of lightning, striking the soft armor fiercely. However, it could not penetrate the defense at all. Mo Zheng only felt a very weak force coming from where the Crimson Flame Divine Sword struck. He swayed slightly and easily dissipated the force. When he looked closely again, the silver soft armor was still intact.

"What a strong defense!" he kept exclaiming in praise.

You must know that he used half of his strength to wield this divine weapon with that sword strike. Its power was so great that it could cleave a martial artist at the peak of the Bone and Tendon Realm wearing second-tier armor in two.

However, the Silver Spirit Armor not only blocked all the sword blades, but also greatly reduced the force of the impact when it struck his body. This defensive power was far beyond his imagination.

As expected of a spiritual weapon used by innate beings, no wonder the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon looked down on the Crimson Flame Sword.

"Are you satisfied?" the five-clawed golden dragon asked with a smile in its eyes.

Mo Zheng nodded repeatedly, of course he was satisfied. This armor could even defend against divine weapons, its protective effect was too terrifying. It was probably just as the other party said, that even innate beings could not break through its defense.

"With the protection of this Silver Spirit Armor, plus the Seven Refining Spirit Techniques you've learned, you're invincible at the fourth level of the mortal realm. Once you unleash the final move of the Seven Refining Spirit Techniques, the God-Shattering Cone, even a martial artist at the fifth level of the mortal realm would likely suffer. Little guy, your strength has increased significantly since you came to the Haotian Secret Realm this time."

"However, you mustn't be arrogant. You are still a very, very long way from becoming the strongest being in this fragment of the world. As the last disciple of the Heavenly Palace, even though the Heavenly Palace has been destroyed, I still hope that you will become the strongest life form in this world."

"Alright, little guy, keep up the good work and strive to become a Primordial Life form as soon as possible. This tiny fragment of the world is not your stage. If you're lucky, you might have a sliver of hope of becoming a powerful Primordial Life form," said the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon.

Mo Zheng nodded vigorously. Although he had faced life and death during his adventure in the Haotian Secret Realm, as the other party had said, he had gained unimaginable benefits and his strength had been greatly improved.

Once these gains are fully digested, it's hard to say whether one can become a Primordial Life Form, but breaking through to Martial Saint is absolutely a certainty.

"Go, little one, good luck. I have opened the palace gates. Go back up the heavenly ladder and silently say 'exit'."

After saying this, the five-clawed golden dragon's figure gradually became illusory.

Mo Zheng hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you very much, senior."

"I will be waiting for your return in the Secret Realm of Haotian."

The five-clawed golden dragon's body shattered with a crash, transforming into countless streams of light that shot out in all directions.

Silence returned to the entire hall.

"Finally out!"

Mo Zheng snapped out of his daze and looked at the passage behind him where the white mist had dissipated. He no longer felt the fear he had felt during the previous four months of arduous training; instead, he felt a surge of excitement.

We're finally going out.

He had been trapped in this secret realm for far too long.

Recalling what the five-clawed golden dragon said about mortal life, innate life, world fragments, the Lesser Thousand, Middle Thousand, and Greater Thousand Worlds, as well as the Origin Continent, and the concepts of Heaven, Earth, Man, and low-ranking spiritual weapons, Mo Zheng always felt that these concepts were somewhat unreal.

However, the rewards—the awakened bloodline, the Seven Refining Techniques, and the silver spirit armor I'm wearing—are real.

"Sister-in-law, Qiu'er, Big Brother, Xiao Tian—wait for me—"

Mo Zheng strode into the white mist passage, his thoughts filled with his family outside. After several months apart, he wondered how his sister-in-law and Qiu'er were doing.

Of course, there's also Fang Yang, who knocked him off the heavenly ladder.

A chilling killing intent flashed in his eyes as he thought to himself, "Fang Yang, you just wait and see!"
