Chapter 881: Chapter 548: Heavenly Mirror (Part 6) Chu Zheng responded, his tone calm, as if he were talking about something trivial: “I have a secret technique that allows me to sneak into the Ancestral Land of the Star Moon Ancient Clan, find their treasury, and quietly steal the Heavenly Mirror.” This was his most straightforward plan, simple and brutal, yet extremely dangerous. “Just… just the three of us?” Jun Huang glanced at Chu Zheng and Yun Tianji, looking around the desolate starry sky, always feeling uneasy about this outrageous plan: “Stealing the Supreme Treasure of one of the Ten Great Ancient Clans’ Ancestral Land? Isn’t this a bit too far-fetched?” That was once one of the top three powerful clans among the Ten Great Ancient Clans, with profound heritage, and their Ancestral Land would undoubtedly be a dragon’s den, heavily guarded and teeming with powerful figures. Going there to steal treasure seemed like courting death. “Our goal is merely to take the treasure, not to wage war with the Star Moon Ancient Clan, nor to take lives.” Yun Tianji shook his head slightly, comforting: “Even if by chance we get discovered, given your status as a disciple directly passed down from the Martial Ancestor, I reckon the Star Moon Ancient Clan wouldn’t dare to trouble you too much, as they have to consider the reputation of the Martial Pavilion and your master’s reaction. There’s still some degree of safety assurance.” Jun Huang frowned deeply, his reason telling him this was too insane, continually feeling something was amiss. If the Heavenly Mirror really had such marvelous utility, capable of probing the past of the Heaven Burial Palace, perhaps he could try beseeching his master, the Martial Ancestor, to negotiate borrowing it from the Star Moon Ancient Clan, albeit dimly hopeful, it would be far more prudent than taking such a risky theft. But over the years, his master had long been dissatisfied due to his constant effort on this matter, and if he troubled him further because of this, it might lead to greater disappointment from his master. For a moment, Jun Huang hesitated, unable to decide, whether Yun Tianji and Zheng Chu were telling the truth. Uncertain whether his sister had fallen to the hands of one among these two, aiding them might indeed be assisting the enemy. He remained silent for a moment, then slowly said, “The Heavenly Mirror may not be an Ancestor Weapon, but to the Star Moon Ancient Clan, it’s of extraordinary significance, a symbol witnessing the rise of their clan, existing before the Star Moon Ancestors entered the Ancestral Realm, protecting the Star Moon Ancient Clan for countless years…” His implication was that both the difficulty and risk of this matter were too great, his resolve was shaken. “If Daoist Jun Huang feels it’s not safe, then let’s forget it. We don’t insist on pulling you in; it was only out of respect for the Martial Ancestor, even if things get exposed, we could leverage the Martial Ancestor to mediate and prevent any catastrophe.” Seeing this, Yun Tianji’s eyes flickered with a trace of light, and his tone turned cold as he laid out the facts: “But if the Heavenly Mirror is taken away by Zheng Chu and me together, then don’t blame us for not helping you, after all no camaraderie exists between us. I was previously inclined to help you only because I appreciate your concern for blood relations, hoping to alleviate your concerns.” At this point, Yun Tianji’s eyes dimmed slightly, and he shook his head, his expression somewhat disappointed. This was retreating to advance, pressuring Jun Huang into a decision. Jun Huang’s body trembled slightly, his fists instinctively clenched. He had heard much about Yun Tianji’s case; Yun Tianji betrayed the Yun Family, and now the whole Yun Family wanted him dead. Clearly, kinship was a rare thing for him, and his words held some truth. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⁂𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱 The whereabouts of his sister indeed knotted and obsessed him, and this seemed like an opportunity. Moreover, it’s just theft; as long as no lives are taken, even if it fails, one could apologize and compensate, it should pass. No matter what, there was still his master to fall back on… Under the starry sky, the three fell into brief silence. Jun Huang fell into an extended silence, the void nearly frozen. He lowered his eyelids, his gaze fell on his tightly clenched fists, his knuckles slightly whitening from exertion. After a while, he took a deep breath of the icy, bone-piercing cold of the universe, silently apologized to his master in his heart, then slowly raised his head, his gaze turning sharp as he spoke solemnly: “This matter, I’ll do it, when do we set off?” Chu Zheng’s eyes flickered slightly, not surprised by Jun Huang’s decision, and nodded: “Tomorrow, I still need to make some preparations.” Seeing this, Yun Tianji quietly sighed in relief, though his face remained impassive: “Alright, I shall wait for you two here.” He did not leave, instead casually finding a relatively flat spot on this meteor, sitting cross-legged to meditate. Chu Zheng wasted no time, taking the always-silent Zheng Ping by his side, tearing the void again to return to the Great Realm they previously came from, and found Xue Qing who was still waiting for news in the Quiet Room. In the Quiet Room, blue smoke curled from the incense burner. When Chu Zheng calmly laid out his plan, including roping in Jun Huang to join them in stealing the Heavenly Mirror from the Star Moon Ancient Clan, a clear furrow appeared on Xue Qing’s usually serene and calm face: “Why take such a risk?” She wore a clear disapproval and confusion on her face: “With your talent and root bone, you only need to cultivate steadily, entering the Ancient Myth Domain would be effortless for you, merely a matter of time.” She stood up, walking up to Chu Zheng, gazing straight at him, her eyes icy: “Now, with the universe in chaos and situations unpredictable, it is precisely the time to observe changes and accumulate strength patiently, while I acquire the Heavenly Luck Inheritance. Then, when chaos arises, I can cut down the Ancestors and claim fortune for you, allowing you to smoothly become Chengzu, isn’t that the better path?” In her view, even as powerful as the Heavenly Mirror might be, it was but equivalent to a strong Emperor Weapon, possibly with some special uses, but risking one’s life for it, venturing into a den of dragons, was truly not worth it.
