Chapter 307: Chapter 168: The Power of the Grandmaster (2/3)Mingguang Dust arrived beside An Jing, his body already a Dharma Body of Divine Skills. With a single touch to An Jing’s forehead, the entire illusory figure of the Dharma Body transformed into a brilliant ray of light, condensing into Liuguang, surging with Six Yang Qi, and pouring into the center of An Jing’s brow. A dazzling pale gold pattern of light ignited, spreading from his forehead to his entire body. [Now I don’t have much strength left to help you.] Mingguang Dust’s voice rose in An Jing’s heart: [Within this Mirror Self Technique of mine, there lies the complete power of five major Divine Abnormalities, connected to form the ’Six Yang Formation’, comparable to an ordinary Grandmaster, but not on par with those in the latter stages of the Martial Meridian from the Great Sects.] [However, if you add your own strength, perhaps you can also exchange blows with those high-ranking sect masters for a while, buying time.] In the center of the Illusionary Light Formation, the Great Void Ritual Altar had already been activated. The silver-blue halo converged, with Heaven Star in motion, and within the illusory constellation map, a straight line of silver light extended towards the direction of the Northern Border. [You don’t need to defeat those people, An Jing. Just hold on until the Great Void Ritual Altar finishes accumulating power and stabilizes its targeting, then you can directly transfer to Hanbei—and the Great Void Ritual Altar will self-destruct, leaving no clues behind.] "This power..." At this moment, An Jing felt a gentle force in motion inside him. It hadn’t flowed into his flesh and blood, but rather seemed to independently condense into a set of Divine Abnormality power that An Jing could control, entrusting him with its manipulation. ’Pupil Fire,’ ’Bright Mirror Heart,’ ’Frost Mercury Blood,’ ’Circulatory Organs,’ and ’Sharp Divine Intention’... were indeed the Divine Abnormalities that Mingguang Dust himself had cultivated! [This is why I am the ’Mirror Self’—the very reason for the Divine Skill of the Path of the Bright Mirror in my sect.] Mingguang Dust’s voice carried a smile: [I can temporarily bestow the strength of ’myself’ from a certain time period to you for you to experience, whether it be Divine Abnormalities or skills.] [In other words, so long as there is the Mirror Self, our Bright Mirror Sect will never lose any of its unique skills.] [Of course, merely transferring techniques, I can’t really help you evolve your own inner heaven and earth, hence it is just a superficial illusion. I can only aid in passing down techniques, not truly create a powerful being.] [Moreover, except for the most critical moments when the sect is in peril, this technique is forbidden... because experiencing too powerful a force prematurely limits a martial artist’s journey on their own path. They will inadvertently imitate the system of the ’Mirror Self original body’, completely losing their potential, becoming just vessels for inheritance, echoes of the original.] [But I believe that you will definitely not be like that.] "Good timing, Master." And as An Jing felt the sudden emergence of power within him, Subdue Evil also leaped in excitement, committing the sensation of all five Divine Abnormalities to memory. He clenched his fist with gusto and laughed loudly, "With your demonstration, I will surely be even stronger than you!" [Good!] Hearing An Jing’s words, which others might label as ’arrogant’, Mingguang Dust was not the least bit surprised. He agreed, [Now, your master must go and fight my battle.] [Take care of yourself!] With those final words, Mingguang Dust’s voice gradually faded, and the power of the Mirror Self Divine Skill he left behind was fully grasped by An Jing. With a grunt, the moment Mingguang Dust withdrew his control, An Jing felt an explosive burst of strength within him, like a volcanic eruption. If not for his high mastery of the Taibai Luminous Godly Ban and adjustment by the Son of Heaven Method, this surge of power would likely have caused some internal injuries. Of course, even with internal injuries, they would be quickly healed by this power... but the upcoming battle he faced was harsh. If he could conserve a bit of energy, he would do so. "So this is Pupil Fire..." Standing in place at that moment, An Jing began to tame the power, while carefully sensing every detail within: "The Pupil Fire of the Bright Mirror Sect, its essence is [Illumination]! With divine intention penetrating Qi, shining upon the thousands of things in the world, this is the true intent learned by the Visible Empty Ancestral Master from the Great Dao Instrument [Haotian Mirror]!" Besides Pupil Fire, what An Jing cared about most was the Bright Mirror Heart: "And the Bright Mirror Heart, with its myriad meanings, is different for everyone. The essence my master realized is [Return]!" The Bright Mirror Heart, as the core Divine Abnormality of the Bright Mirror Sect, has an essence that varies with each person and is unique to all. In Mingguang Dust’s view, the Path of the Bright Mirror is about [Return]! Return, meaning a cycle of recurrence. His Bright Mirror Heart is a Divine Abnormality that can continuously resonate in cycles, layering and refining the Spirit Qi. It is like two opposite mirrors creating an endless corridor, where the dim light of Six Yang was initially inconsequential, much like a blind child’s heart fire in a world of Sun and Moon Without Light. And the heart fire, through repeated folding and returning a thousand times, gradually transformed into the Six Yang Great Sun! Compared to this, what are Frost Mercury Blood and Circulatory Organs but mere systems for circulating Spirit Qi, while Sharp Divine Intention is the ’key point’ of the formation that wields the light of Six Yang within the heart to shatter all shadows and darkness! Sharp Divine Intention serves as the key point, Bright Mirror Heart as the main core, with the rest as support—this is the [Six Yang Mirror Fundamental Formation Map]constructed out of the five Divine Abnormalities. This is the Path of the Bright Mirror of Mingguang Dust! "Although it’s not my path, for now... it will suffice!" In a breath’s time, he had completely understood the essence of the Great Dao and the direction chosen by Mingguang Dust, and An Jing fully realized why the Bright Mirror Sect could pass down its legacy from generation to generation, starting from a minor sect with only one Manifesting Holy True Lord and gradually becoming the strongest middle gate sect, second only to the Upper Sect. Because the way to the heavens is clearly visible, just like a mirror reflecting a person, one only needs to step forward and walk! At the entrance of the large courtyard, leaning against the Great Void Ritual Altar, An Jing closed his eyes and meditated, regulating his own vital energies. He was waiting. Waiting for the arrival of the enemy. Meanwhile. As the citizens of Kanming City evacuated. In the ruins of Youde Garden. The group from Youde Garden had sensed something was wrong when An Jing left, and they quickly took their remaining treasures and some food supplies, leaving Kanming City long before, while the residents of the surrounding quarters had understood the meaning of the ’evacuation order’ and had left even earlier. In the empty streets, two figures were observing. Just moments ago, as effortlessly as wiping dust from a table, they had swept away all the stone beams and wooden planks from the ruins of Youde Garden, exposing the numerous mangled corpses beneath. Such effortless manipulation of nature’s spiritual energy, obeying their own will—a martial arts skill undoubtedly belonging only to a Martial Meridian Grandmaster! Among the two figures, the thin and lean one with strange blue tattoos had a dark complexion, yet it wasn’t rough like that of a mountain villager but smooth like black jade, void of any pores—an inorganic black. He was now meticulously examining each of the tragic corpses, then reaching out to touch their foreheads, closing his eyes, sensing something. On the other side, the burly Great Han was carefully examining the spot where the bald Martial Artist of Huangyang Sect had exploded, inspecting every trace of flesh and blood, stirring a piece of cadaver fragment and causing a golden and white Thunder Light to leap up, attempting to slice his finger. But this Thunder Light was drowned by a trace of moist vapor, silently absorbed and dissipated, turning invisible. "Interesting, an Exotic Thunder Method... This is certainly not a technique from the Bright Mirror Sect." The burly Great Han rubbed his forefinger and thumb together, nodding thoughtfully, "It seems True Master Mysterious Mirror has found a good disciple with talents to apprentice—his luck is truly good. A good opportunity, a good disciple, everything favors him." "And a very strong approach to Horizontal Training." The thin man had also stopped sensing the Heart Soul Echo from the corpses, his voice as placid as a still well, seemingly without any emotional ripples: "With just one blow, he used brute force to break our sect’s Thousand Heart Divine Falcon Formation... Since when did the Bright Mirror Sect practice Body Refinement? If it weren’t for the unmistakable presence of Yang energy, I’d suspect they got the wrong person." "So what’s the plan?" The burly Great Han, a Martial Meridian Grandmaster of Huangyang Sect, known as [Tyrant Sea Blade] Bo Zongshan asked, "Do we first look for clues about the Young Miss of Great Han, or do we kill the junior true successor of the Bright Mirror Sect first?" "Let’s search for the Young Miss first." The Martial Meridian Grandmaster of Zuohuan Sect, known as [Heart Sword] Fu Zheng’an, narrowed his eyes that glimmered with different colors of Liuguang: "After True Master Mysterious Mirror dies, his disciple can be dealt with as we please, but we can’t let him die too easily..."
