Chapter 2689: Mirror of Gods

On the martial arts platform, blood energy surged, and the fighting was spectacular. Jiang Anan was one of the not-quite-the-same spectators. The audience was waiting for the outcome, but her gaze was elsewhere, standing in the empty star room after Xiong Wen left, as if in deep thought.

The next moment in the viewing area, Bo Wang Hou lifted his eyes to look over, caught her gaze, and gently shook his head.

Jiang Anan blinked, then drew back.

Brother Win is really formidable.

How does he know every little thought that crosses my mind?

Brother’s relationship with Qi country has always been close. Our Old Jiang family and the Chong Xuan family are even more like one family.

Chong Xuan Yu is still Brother’s godson. Counting it up, she is also Xiao Yu’s aunt.

Of course, she had a fleeting thought of challenging Bao Xuan Jing, but it was only a wild idea after seeing many heavenly prides and realizing her own strength was insufficient. Thinking if she could get a good bargain... actually, from any angle, she wouldn't do it.

Ji country is a Dao vassal state, and all Dao vassal states under heaven take Jing country as their suzerain.

Xiong Wen, originating from Ji country, with great difficulty reached this step, yet boldly violated the competition rules, opened his mouth to challenge Bao Xuan Jing, and provoked Qi country’s dignity.

This will undoubtedly be seen as Jing country’s challenge to Qi country—

Regardless of whether the facts are like this.

Qi country will certainly respond.

But for this session of the Yellow River Meeting, Qi country was not prepared to make a big fuss. Sending Chong Xuan Sheng as the leader was to show support for Jiang Wang’s arrival.

They sent three national heavenly prides, prepared fully for battle, competed fairly for victory... that’s all.

Unlike Jing country, which had both Wan country’s Xu Zhi Yi and Ji country’s Xiong Wen—now it seems they deliberately placed many pieces, aiming to stir something up.

In Jiang Anan’s view, Brother Win has no cards left to play; a clever woman cannot cook without rice.

The Old Jiang family has a tradition of repaying favors and avenging wrongs. She must support Brother Win a little.

So, she was planning to wait a while and re-enact Xiong Wen’s story, open her mouth to challenge Xie Yuan Chu...

Although she definitely couldn’t win, she had to give the Jing country fellows a taste of their own medicine, make them know that with Chong Xuan Sheng big brother leading the Qi country team, they weren't so easy to bully.

But this idea had just formed, and she only subconsciously looked towards the star room. Brother Win immediately detected it and negated her idea!

How does his brain work?

She, Jiang Anan, could fool even a smart person like Zhen He Zhen Jun. How is it that when it comes to Brother Win, it seems her skull cap is lifted open, and all the ideas in her heart are laid bare in front of him?

But no matter what, listening to Brother Win is absolutely right. So, seeing that fat head shake over there, Jiang Anan immediately gave up the idea of seeking a beating. She changed the target she had practiced with in the dream order, to Jian Zi Du, who had small snakes swimming in his ear holes in East Wang Valley and looked just scary.

Among the three targets formulated by the "Yellow River Think Tank," she least wanted to face this one.

Those strange and bizarre poisonous insects really made one's scalp numb, with no way to start.

But now that there was no other choice, she could only face it.

That blood energy dragon just flew up at this moment.

The transparent mirror wall offered no obstruction at all. Rising in front of Jiang Anan was a pair of lantern-sized cold and cruel blood-colored vertical pupils. Among them were mottled starlight points, as if from the original owner's unwillingness.

But the blood energy was already unified.

Jiang Anan's snow pupils saw clearly.

The blood energy that once belonged to Xiong Wen was forged into Bao Xuan Jing's cold knife, as if after thousands of hammerings and refinements.

Even more indifferent than these double dragon pupils was the boy Shuo Fang Bo standing on the dragon head.

His eyes were so cold, sweeping over the countless subtle changes on the martial arts field, as if adding a thin layer of frost. He declared the end, not allowing new changes to occur. He gazed at the muscle-bound, blood energy majestic Xiong Wen, as if looking at a corpse that had already cooled.

But inside this "corpse," the heart was thundering!

The blood energy giant bear gathered by secret methods was being easily destroyed and plundered at this moment. Xiong Wen raised his head and howled.

His face was covered with a layer of red light, and within the red light, there was a faint black gas.

A human face has mountains and rivers.

The nose is like Zhong Yue, the forehead is like Nan Yue, the lowest point where the two mountains intersect... is called the "mountain root"!

At this moment, just at this "mountain root," rolling black fog rose like wolf smoke.

Instantly on the martial arts platform, ghosts cried and wolves howled, as if heaven was grieving!

As the only person from Ji country since its founding who had reached Guan He Tai, the "most genius" in history, no matter how cautious the rulers of Ji country were, they couldn't possibly chill the heart of this native genius and hide things from him.

The inheritance of the "Yin Shan Sect," methods of controlling ghosts and walking corpses, was delivered to him early—besides these, there was nothing else they could give.

Ji country’s rulers broke the bloodline prohibition, boldly transmitted the law, and the country boy diligently studied and practiced, finally shining brightly... This should have been a good story. Now, it is possibly the Ji country emperor’s nightmare.

These methods of the "Yin Shan Sect," almost extinct in the present world, bloomed on Guan He Tai for the first time in many years.

So-called "Ancient universe exists, yin yang mountains and rivers exist."

The black fog rushing out of Xiong Wen's mountain root seemed to penetrate a mysterious space. All kinds of strange beast roars spread along with the black fog's undulations.

As if the sky covered the moon, it was exactly ghosts descending the mountain.

"Aowoo!"

Leaping out of the black fog was a wolf soul as strong as a steed, its long hair undulating, ghost fire illuminating its pupils. In an instant, a howl summoned thousands of shadows.

Thousands of ghost wolves formed an army array, each with a target, biting towards the blood dragon like moths to a flame. Among them, the existence as the head wolf opened its wolf mouth as if spitting out a bright moon—more wolf teeth were dense like swords, aiming a bite directly at Bao Xuan Jing’s head.

And there were bear roars, tiger growls, mountains and forests shaking, the sounds of ten thousand beasts, all rising from the mountain root.

In an era where the ghost path was not prosperous and luck was almost exclusively occupied by Dou Zhao, Xiong Wen stood out, not controlling human ghosts, but beast souls!

His body, already one zhang tall, violently increased again. Muscles bulged, bone spurs protruded, and he grinned: "Today I am the king of ten thousand beasts, the lord of ten thousand ghosts!"

On the martial arts field, it was as if night had already fallen. A black haze surged like cloud cover. The low roars rising and falling seemed to indicate countless ghosts and beasts... being born in the darkness.

Bao Xuan Jing, standing on the dragon head, only slightly lifted his eyes. His eyes were arrows of light, lifting them then launching ten thousand arrows.

That group of "bright moons" was being disassembled in front of him. The flowing light after the ghost soul head wolf was just like that, nailed and killed in the air.

And his eyes seemed to turn into profound ice-carved mirrors. In the mirrors, his indifference and aloofness were like a god!

He raised his hand, five fingers shaking and pressing down from above, towards Xiong Wen's heavenly spirit—

"This is divine ability... God Mirror!"

So, it was not eyes of light, but mirror light.

Countless mirror lights controlled everything, tearing the night curtain, piercing all the ghost wolves.

The blood dragon beneath Bao Xuan Jing’s feet opened up thousands of cracks at this moment. All the cracks were destinations for the light—from this extending dyed-blood mirror light, exactly like birds entering a forest, poured onto Xiong Wen’s body without reservation.

Those mirror lights seemed to turn into blood vessels. Xiong Wen’s body’s blood energy, through these mirror lights, was inversely plundered by the blood dragon.

He used Xiong Wen's blood energy, swallowing Xiong Wen's blood energy!

More terrifying things were still to come—

Xiong Wen’s ferocious flesh body, which had already expanded to three zhang high, became transparent at this moment.

His internal organs, blood, Dao Yuan, everything had no place to hide!

Even the spectators far away could clearly see that at Xiong Wen's mountain root, black fog rolled like waves. Inside Xiong Wen's torso, his five organs were emitting red light!

"I was wondering how your ghost control technique could summon such powerful ghost beasts...原來is the blessing of the five organs lords." Bao Xuan Jing's words were filled with surprise and sudden realization, but his voice was indifferent and emotionless. Obviously, he had already entered a different battle state than usual.

As his voice fell, five especially bright and thick mirror lights, then like heavenly punishment lightning, pierced Xiong Wen's five organs.

Divine decree realized, divine intent penetrated!

Among Inner Mansion cultivators, divine ability inner mansion is one in a thousand. But battling on Guan He Tai, which one is not selected from tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands?

Who doesn't possess divine ability?

Xiong Wen had not yet truly displayed this divine ability, which is called Five Organs Lords.

This is a relatively common divine ability that has been developed very completely throughout history.

Its various development directions have almost already been fully interpreted by successive owners.

This divine ability takes building "five organs temples" as the initial seed of the divine ability. After the divine ability is greatly accomplished, it will enshrine a god lord in each of the five organs temples.

The five organs god lords can both strengthen "spirit, soul, intent, po, and will" and strengthen the flesh body and enrich the physique. They can fix human emotions and will and can also influence lifespan. Even at the Dong Zhen realm, they can still assist the primordial spirit.

Its application is so wide that in "Zhao Cang Wu" it says "organ worries each have differences, a thousand people different gods."

Only unfortunately, Xiong Wen seemed to have not yet had time to truly urge it to explode. The five organs temples had already been pierced by mirror light, and the five organs lords had already been fixed dead by mirror light!

Xiong Wen's shell had completely lost the meaning of covering. He was like an insect in amber for people to appreciate. His transparent Dao body was more fragile than an insect. Everyone could see that his internal order was already out of control, that strong five organs struggled like furious beasts... but the god's gaze fixed everything dead.

Bao Xuan Jing's virtually pressed five fingers closed one by one—

Little finger closed to palm, Xiong Wen's kidney then exploded!

At this "breach dike" moment, water and urine rushed into the blood in reverse, quickly polluting the entire flesh body.

Xiong Wen's pair of ears also at this time flowed out foul-smelling blood.

"Kidney opens orifices at ears," kidney closed orifices then ear knowledge collapses!

Ring finger closed to palm, Xiong Wen's lung then exploded.

The "lung lord" was fundamentally unable to resist this heavy pressure and collapsed on the spot along with the organs. Rolling gray smoke and waste gas rampaged in the body like poisonous snakes. Xiong Wen's body, already heavily injured, quickly withered again.

His nose orifices also suddenly bled non-stop, a filthy mixed flow, only out, no longer in.

Bao Xuan Jing was almost abusing and killing Xiong Wen!

But the host of this match, Ju Kui, said nothing, did not declare the end of this match.

Then at such a moment, the swallow moon head wolf suspended in front of Bao Xuan Jing, fixed dead and swallowed by him, its ghost fire extinguished eyes, suddenly burst into blood color, its fangs violently grew three feet, abruptly broke free from the mirror light's lock, and fiercely bit and swallowed him!

Exclamations filled the viewing seats.

The most unique aspect of controlling ghosts and walking corpses methods is that these things are originally dead things and cannot die again. They still have the possibility of fighting at any time.

Xiong Wen's mind in battle was undoubtedly deep, able to endure until this time to explode.

But the next moment, this head swallow moon wolf was then pierced by countless mirror lights from the inside out, shattering into only a wisp of black smoke that rose. Even this wisp of black smoke was again divided and erased by several mirror lights during its floating process.

And Bao Xuan Jing, standing in his original place, only lifted another hand, slowly lifting it high, making people see that he held up the blood-dripping wolf's heart.

The twelve-year-old boy's hand was not wide, like a child single-handedly holding a watermelon.

It is said that Wan Xian Palace’s Wan Xian Come to Court immortal technique was inspired by this divine ability of Five Organs Lords.

In the Dao gate, there are also Dao methods derived from this kind of divine ability, called "five organs hide gods."

In the Shen Dao era, there were also beliefs like "five organs gods" born.

It is visible that the influence of this divine ability of Five Organs Lords is so widespread and its development so thorough.

But with Xiong Wen, he had a new direction—he used the Five Organs Lords to strengthen his ghost beasts, to give his ghost beasts five organs, greatly increasing their ferocity!

Thus, there was this swallow moon head wolf that once intended to counterattack.

But all this could not escape Bao Xuan Jing's eyes, all reflected in the divine ability named God Mirror.

His right hand, which had been pointing at Xiong Wen from beginning to end, had unknowingly closed into a fist—

The five organs temples collapsed, the five organs lords fell.

Xiong Wen's body emitted its last explosion. His seven orifices were already wasted, his five senses no longer existed, and his Dao body was broken beyond repair. His huge body fell down like a mountain.

Finally, it was held up by a ray of clear light.

Ju Kui's voice then rang out: "Match over, Xiong Wen's challenge failed."

The Ji country people in the viewing seats, who were still foaming at the mouth, could finally faint peacefully.

Bao Xuan Jing's eyes still had mirror light that had not dissipated. The applause and cheers from all directions could not dissolve his indifference under the divine ability state.

"Then, does anyone still want to challenge me?"

He stood in the center of the martial arts platform, lifted his eyes to look towards the star room: "This person is really not special."

He was looking not only at the two people inside the star room but also at all the stirring movements before the competition.

Jiang Anan secretly clicked her tongue, "Good formidable child." On her face, she only wore a harmless smile. "Absolutely no such intention, absolutely no such intention. My brother even hugged you when you were young."

Qiu Chu Fu even slightly smiled and made a sincere gesture of worship.

In the moon room, Chu Yao's expression was serious. This twelve-year-old child also took his master as an idol. But his talent was too much stronger than his own... and he was also better at flattering...

The translucent bird flying horizontally in the air spoke for the first time in today's match, saying a sentence unrelated to the match: "Xuan Jing, this divine ability of yours is indeed unprecedented."

Even in the indifferent state of the divine ability, Bao Xuan Jing was respectful towards this knowledgeable bird representing Zhen He Zhen Jun: "This divine ability has indeed been hidden for a long time. Only His Majesty knew it before the competition."

He solemnly bowed to this bird, then continued: "When I was born, my grandfather named me, saying 'Xuan Mirror alone appraises, god clear,' hence the name Xuan Mirror. I forever lost him, but I never want to disappoint him. Perhaps it is this feeling that led to the awakening of this divine ability. I am not a wise person, but... I was born as a god!"

He said "born as a god," but the mirror light in his eyes retreated from this point. His eyes regained their youthful state, full of spirit and brightness, also showing respect for Zhen He Zhen Jun and confidence in himself.

"Born as a god, act as a human"... this is his self-confession. Using his first appearance on Guan He Tai to announce the birth of the human race's "most heavenly pride," and that wisp of human path light, is the crown he must get.

Hasn't Bao Yi, who lived a strong life, weathered half his life, sunk in the turbulent waves of the East Sea, and looked up at the sky, sought exactly this moment?

The Chong Xuan family has a noble son, and the Bao clan is not inferior to anyone.

Jiang Wang fourteen years ago, Bao Xuan Jing fourteen years later. Just like that!

After the divine ability state dissipated, his eyes were refreshed. A tear flowed from the corner of young Shuo Fang Bo's eye. On his young jade-like face, it rolled down like an ice bead. But it was only this one drop.

Young people don't show their joy on their faces, nor do they force their sorrow.

Everyone understands that he is missing his grandfather. But he doesn't allow himself to miss him excessively.

In the Bao clan, which has "no strong men," the twelve-year-old young man must strongly shoulder everything.
