Chapter 1380: Kun Peng (1/2)
In the end, he finished observing one monolith after another and came to the end of the square. There was a high platform with a mirror on top. Perhaps it was more accurate to describe this mirror as a large block of white jade. This was because the surface of the mirror was very coa.r.s.e, as if the maker wasn’t meticulous enough and left these imperfections behind.
However, it was placed on this platform. From a distance, it looked just like a bright moon hanging in the sky. It attracted Li Qiye’s attention like a great beauty or a kingdom-toppling lover.
After a long time, he withdrew his gaze and spoke with a tinge of emotion: “What a shame that the yellow bell from the Gu Clan isn’t here, this ancient treasury would be mine by now.”
The bell he was referring to was the one back in the store named Ancient Intent Fasting of the Gu Clan. Back in the Ancient Sky City, he had brought Li Shuangyan there and saw the bell.
Of course, he could have used many different methods to obtain it if he truly wanted to. However, he didn’t need the items inside, so he decided not to scheme for it.
That particular bell might have been in the Gu’s possession, but it wasn’t created by their ancestor. Its origin was something much more incredible. In fact, their clan couldn’t see through its true mysteries either, so the clan continued to look for the nine languages of the early inhabitants.
While standing before this ordinary mirror that resembled the moon, he chanted a mantra: “My descendant’s yellow bell, one cry will shake the heavens…”
He performed mudras in the middle of this chant. Each seal was constantly speeding up the already rapid pace. Eventually, no one could see his actions anymore, only the s.h.i.+fting mudras could be seen.
If Li Shuangyan’s group or the members of the Gu Clan were here, they would be completely astonished. These mantras were part of the early languages he gave to the Gu Clan!
With his continuous mudras, the initially empty mirror now showed a monstrous reflection of Li Qiye as if he was a giant.
“Buzz!” The mirror exuded a bright radiance. The coa.r.s.e surface seemed to turn transparent like water. However, Li Qiye’s reflection disappeared.
A great sky appeared instead with a vast amount of stars as well as a sun and moon. This was a full cosmos. Having a sense of awe and powerlessness was inevitable for any existence upon witnessing this scene, even the largest ones were no exceptions. This sea of stars could support countless lives. Even the nine worlds seemed trivial in comparison.
“Splas.h.!.+” The splas.h.i.+ng of water shook the entire sea of stars with the appearance of a huge monster.
This was an immeasurable Kun Peng swimming in the stars. It dove and leaped or just floated there motionlessly. Anyone lucky enough to see this incredible scene would be shocked.
It devoured and released the celestials as if it was the sole ruler of this boundless cosmos.
“Boom!” With a loud blast, this gigantic Kun Peng turned into a huge bird that flew through the sea of stars with supreme speed. Nothing in this world was faster than it. It became faster and faster and eventually, time seemed to have reversed. The ebb and flow of the reincarnation cycle stopped.
Everything disappeared when it spread its wings and soared. In this place, time and myriad existences all returned to nothingness! Everything pa.s.sed into eternity and, in the end, even the Kun Peng itself disappeared, leaving behind an emptiness in the mirror.
