Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 664 Tianji Sect Disciple

"To be able to see through me using the Heavenly Secrets, it seems you do indeed possess some skill," Qinchuan nodded indifferently, but his tone shifted immediately, "However, the matter I wish to inquire about, I fear you don't have the answer to it here."

"Young Master, simply place your hand upon this Heavenly Secrets Disk to find out," said the elder.

On the table before the old man, a Bagua Bronze Mirror shone with golden light. Chaos filled the mirror, and mysterious runes carved upon its surface emitted an ancient Dao Rhymes aura.

"Are you certain?"

Qinchuan fixed his gaze on the elder, eyes brimming with a profound light, as he sought confirmation once again.

"The matter I wish to ask about is too astonishing, and I'm worried that this Heavenly Secrets Disk might not be able to withstand it. If this valuable Heavenly Secrets Disk is damaged, Young Master will not be held responsible."

"Young Master can rest assured. This Heavenly Secrets Disk has been forged from Ancient Immortal Gold and the Crystal Stones of Jade Mirror Mountain, exceedingly sturdy. Even should the Heavenly Dao backlash, it can bear it!" so the elderly man cheerfully claimed.

Seeing his insistence, Qinchuan did not say any more and extended his hand, pressing it against the archaic mirror.

As soon as Qinchuan's palm touched it, suddenly, a dazzling divine radiance shone from the smooth mirror surface.

White light streamed out from between Qinchuan's fingers, bright as though a star had emerged within the mirror, instantly illuminating the entire street.

The commotion was not small, immediately attracting the attention of many cultivators nearby.

Many cultivators looked over curiously.

"Another unlucky fool has been tricked!" remarked a cultivator who had set up a stall there repeatedly, accustomed to such sights, he shrugged and commented.

The light from the bronze mirror was striking, and at that moment, its countless runes seemed as though they had come to life, flowing ceaselessly. The light fully enveloped Qinchuan.

"Haha, Qinchuan, you have finally been caught by me!" At this moment, the elder, who had seemed serene and otherworldly, changed dramatically, his face revealing an excited expression.

"How audacious, what have you done?" Noticing something was amiss, Li Kaitian shouted sternly, stepping forward to position himself between Qinchuan and the elder.

"Kaitian, step back," enveloped by the brilliance of the bronze mirror, Qinchuan remained calm and composed as he spoke.

This was Li Kaitian's first time following Qinchuan, and facing a crisis, he lacked experience, unlike Ji Huo'er who had full confidence in Qinchuan, showing no panic whatsoever.

"Young Master, this…" Li Kaitian began to say something, but upon seeing Qinchuan's self-assured gaze, he immediately retreated a step.

"Do you really think I haven't seen through your little trick?" A hint of mockery appeared on Qinchuan's face as he looked at the old Daoist with teasing interest.

It turned out.

This old Daoist hailed from the Upper Realm. From the aura about him and the Magic Artifacts he employed, Qinchuan knew this man to be a disciple of the Tianji Sect.

The Tianji Sect cultivates the Heavenly Secrets Dao, skilled at divination and fate calculation, and capable of unfathomable insights into the Heavenly Dao. Even predicting the future and foretelling destiny are possible when practiced to perfection.

Ye Xuanji's practised Heavenly Mystery Divine Pupil was derived from this sect's teachings.

As for the mirror, it was not any Heavenly Secrets Disk but a Magic Artifact known as the Soul Imprisoning Mirror, capable of binding and imprisoning the True Spirit of those who touched it.

This Soul Imprisoning Mirror required the touch of a True Spirit and was thus seldom used in battle. It was mostly employed when a cultivator was near death or already deceased, temporarily restraining the soul from being drawn away to the Reincarnation Land.

The Tianji Sect's disciple had plotted against Qinchuan here, and the purpose was self-evident; obviously, it was for the two Spiritual Pearls in his possession.

"Hmph, how could I not have heard of Young Master Qin's reputation? Within the Great Formation that seals the heavens and eradicates the earth, you've slain over a hundred disciples from many powers such as the Jiang Family, Liu Family, and Ji Family. Without full confidence, how would I dare trouble Young Master Qin?" the old Daoist said with a cold laugh, isolating this space.

"However, even if Young Master Qin is strong, now that your True Spirit is locked by the Soul Imprisoning Mirror, no matter how capable you are, you cannot escape from the palm of this old cultivator."

The Tianji old cultivator's gaze was deep as he spoke, "Rest assured, I do not revel in killing. Just hand over the Spiritual Pearl, and I will immediately withdraw the Spirit Arrest Art."

"What if I don't hand it over?" Qinchuan said with a smile, appearing extremely calm, not showing the slightest sign of panic.

"If you don't hand it over, then I will have to take action personally!" the old cultivator said as he extended his palm toward Qinchuan's chest. He was not looking to strike a deadly blow, but rather to take the Storage Space from Qinchuan's body.

It was clear that he indeed harbored no intent to kill.

"You can't trap me," Qinchuan shook his head, brimming with confidence.

As he finished speaking, a change occurred. The bronze mirror shone again with a blinding golden light, illuminating everyone like the sun.

The golden divine light grew more and more resplendent and dazzling as time passed.

The light from the surface of the bronze mirror reached its peak.

At the same time, a crisp "crack" sounded; the bronze mirror split down the middle, its divine radiance instantly fading, and the runes flowing around it came to an abrupt halt.

The Soul Imprisoning Mirror had broken!

"Pfft!"

The rupture of the Soul Imprisoning Mirror severed the connection between the old cultivator and his Magic Artifact forcefully. He was struck by a terrifying blow of Divine Soul Energy, spouting a mouthful of fresh blood and staggering back several steps.

"What's going on?!"

The old cultivator raised an eyebrow, aghast, his look toward Qinchuan now filled with a bit more wariness, he asked incredulously, "Why did my Soul Imprisoning Mirror shatter?"

"I've already warned you, the Soul Imprisoning Mirror cannot trap me," Qinchuan replied, his voice filled with disdain.

Earlier, Qinchuan had indeed subtly warned the old cultivator that if he persisted in opposing him, he would suffer backlash.

Fortunately, the old cultivator had not shown murderous intent from the start, merely aiming to restrain Qinchuan's True Spirit and take the Spiritual Pearl; otherwise, he would have already met his demise.

Continuing in a grave tone, Qinchuan said, "Since you've been able to forge a Magic Artifact like the Soul Imprisoning Mirror, you must surely know who was the first to forge this item, right?"

The Tianji Sect had been in the Upper Realm for millions of years, but the Soul Imprisoning Mirror had only appeared as a Magic Artifact in the last few hundred thousand years, so of course, the old cultivator knew about it.

"Eight hundred thousand years ago, the ancestor Mo Tianji was the first to forge the Soul Imprisoning Mirror and passed down the method of forging it, but what does that have to do with anything!" he asked, puzzled.

"But you don't know that back then, Mo Tianji was also guided by someone else, which enabled him to forge this Magic Artifact," Qinchuan said.

"What... what do you mean! Are you saying that when the ancestor forged the Soul Imprisoning Mirror, there was a master guiding him, and this Magic Artifact also has another method of breaking it passed down?!"

The old cultivator was shocked.

His first thought was that Qinchuan had obtained the breaking method for the Soul Imprisoning Mirror and never considered that Qinchuan was the powerful individual who had guided his sect's ancestor back then.

Qinchuan couldn't be bothered to explain.

Qinchuan, not wishing to waste words with him, saw that he reached out and took the dazzling golden divine banner fluttering before him.

"Seeing that you've provided information and in consideration of the Tianji Sect disciples, I will spare your life for now. I'll take this divine banner as a punishment. Should you dare target me again in the future, I will not be so forgiving," Qinchuan said.

With that, Qinchuan and the others disappeared at the end of the street, leaving the old cultivator alone, his soul still shaking.
