Chapter 1223: Chapter 1219: Copper Mirror Fusion

Even though she had never met the High Priest, just seeing these arrangements left by him, Yun Ran felt a sense of conversing with someone across time and space.

This feeling was very mysterious, as if the High Priest had known of her early on and left these ’words’.

Yun Ran’s eyes suddenly brightened as she looked at the elder beside her.

"Elder, do you think that High Priest must be quite cunning?"

Elder Qing Yangzi knew what Yun Ran intended to say as soon as she started. Wasn’t it just that he had mentioned Yun Ran having a calculating nature in his words before?

However, since Yun Ran was one of their own, comments about being cunning were somewhat tinted with bias when referring to others.

But when it comes to one’s own child, describing them as having a mind sharp is more appropriate.

Elder Qing Yangzi continued to look at Yun Ran with a kindly gaze: "Whether or not he was cunning is insignificant. What’s significant is, with his ability to predict events a thousand years hence and lay out plans,

it is evident that at the time he must have already possessed Divine Status, yet he gave it up for this world within the space rift."

Having Divine Status and yet giving it up is akin to finding a great treasure and ultimately abandoning it.

Probably, only Elder Qing Yangzi himself knew best the immense courage required to accomplish this.

Not to mention how slim the chances are of achieving immortality; some people can’t even touch the threshold.

Moreover, some would resort to any unsavory means just to achieve immortality.

Creating a pile of filthy deeds and then emerging as a savior is not uncommon. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

The mess they are facing now is precisely because some individuals were aiming to seize that chance of achieving immortality, causing all these troubles.

It is utterly impossible to count how many innocent lives have been killed or injured in the process.

With such a comparison, the fact that the High Priest shattered his own Divine Status, painstakingly planned, just to give this world within the space rift a fighting chance, is exceedingly commendable.

Though Elder Qing Yangzi has now achieved immortality, being able to foretell events a thousand years in the future with precision is still beyond reach.

If not for these tribulations, had the High Priest successfully achieved immortality, his power would undoubtedly surpass all the immortals of Qingfeng Temple.

If Yun Ran got involved in these matters partly due to her desire for self-rescue and partly due to destiny’s entanglements.

Then, the willingness of Elder Qing Yangzi and his group to intervene in this cause and effect was largely out of admiration for the High Priest who had shattered his own Divine Status.

At this moment, the light emitted from the copper mirror was no longer scattered and shattered.

The sounds of wails and cries also gradually weakened.

The sightlines of Elder Qing Yangzi and Yun Ran were directly drawn toward it.

The copper mirror, which was initially in pieces, gradually fused together without leaving a trace of its prior state.

"Has it really fused back together?"

Yun Ran curiously stepped forward to take a closer look. On the surface of the copper mirror, countless dismembered limbs and bones still desperately struggled, trying to escape confinement.

But the re-fused copper mirror was far more powerful than its original form.

It was not as simple as one plus one equals two; the effect was completely geometrically increased.

In just a few seconds, the eerie sounds were suppressed, and the light of the copper mirror gradually diminished.

A faint ’crack’ was heard.

Yun Ran instinctively looked in the direction of the sound and saw a tiny crack appear in what was supposed to be her strongest defensive array.

Yun Ran: ...

It seems she had previously underestimated the power of this copper mirror; such a solid defense was still shattered by the mirror’s released power.

Yun Ran raised her hand and scattered a pile of talisman paper, and the tiny crack slowly repaired.

However, just as she breathed a sigh of relief, Elder Qing Yangzi’s avatar started to slowly grow transparent.

Yun Ran suddenly felt her scalp tingle.

The copper mirror had just fused, and there were many things yet to be clarified; was the elder leaving already?

Yun Ran hurriedly called out, "Elder!"

Before completely disappearing, Elder Qing Yangzi’s avatar left Yun Ran with words.

"The purpose of this avatar was to assist you in merging the copper mirror. Now that the task is complete, it will naturally dissipate..."

If anyone else were here at this moment, they would surely say that the people of Qingfeng Temple seemed to share a common trait.

Once the main task is completed, they leave, leaving the remaining matters to others to deal with.

It used to be Yun Ran doing this, and now it was Elder Qing Yangzi.

But only those who don’t stay behind to deal with the aftermath realize how maddening the remaining matters can be.

Elder Qing Yangzi left with grace.

Looking at the copper mirror and then at the place where Elder Qing Yangzi had stood, Yun Ran suddenly felt an urge to cry but couldn’t shed tears.

At this moment, she truly missed her master and Junior Master. With them around, she could afford to be lazy.

"Sigh~"

With a sigh, Yun Ran slowly approached the copper mirror, now almost two meters tall.

Before even getting close, she could feel the oppressive aura it radiated.

The Little Paperman had already scurried far away.

Whether it was because of a contract with the copper mirror or Elder Qing Yangzi’s previous protective curse on Yun Ran,

the copper mirror did not emit light to attack Yun Ran despite her approach.

"Ha! So this fusion indeed makes it different; it can even reflect the form of my soul!"

The copper mirror, now calmed, looked like an ordinary mirror, but what it reflected was the true form of whatever was being mirrored.

Yun Ran hadn’t seen her original appearance for a long time, and seeing her soul’s form now, it felt somewhat unfamiliar.

"Hmm, what’s this?"

Yun Ran suddenly noticed a black mass hovering above her head.

She hadn’t looked closely earlier, but now the more she looked, the eerier she felt about the black mass atop her head.

She had merely spoken to herself in surprise, not expecting the copper mirror to assume she was asking it.

It immediately presented several words: [This is the manifestation of your Qi Fortune!]

Yun Ran: ...

So, the fused copper mirror still remained influenced by the copper mirror she had contracted with?

If that’s the case, Yun Ran suddenly felt that the upcoming troubles might just be significantly reduced!
