Chapter 644 (2/2)

…

Over the next ten days, Mu Chen remained quietly in the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy awaiting the return of the Northern Sea Dragon.

Upon receiving news of the Northern Sea Dragon’s return, Mu Chen rushed to the main hall immediately. He saw a smile etched on the Northern Sea Dragon’s ancient features.

Seeing his smile, Mu Chen heaved a sigh of relief.

“As expected, among the Chiefs of the Five Great Academies, Chief Tian Sheng of the Saint Spiritual Academy—that old humbug—didn’t agree to it. Thankfully, the three other Chiefs did agree, so that fellow couldn’t say anything.” The Northern Sea Dragon looked at Mu Chen as he smiled.

At this moment, even with Mu Chen’s usual calm focus, his heart was filled with excitement.

“When would you want to access the Mirror of Judgment?”

“Can I do it now?” Mu Chen asked, as he couldn’t restrain his excitement.

“Alright. Now, then.”

The Northern Sea Dragon nodded with a smile. He was not surprised by Mu Chen’s urgency. With a wave of his palm, the void in front of him tore apart as a spatial crack appeared. He then stepped forward.

“Follow me.”

Mu Chen nodded and immediately followed. Nine Nether also followed behind him.

As Mu Chen stepped into the spatial crack, changes immediately emerged before his eyes. The space seemed to be small, but it was a mass of chaos. Within this small space, a huge ancient bronze mirror approximately 1,000 feet tall was suspended quietly in the air. An indescribably terrifying wave rippled subtly, so that the space was in constant shock and motion.

There was a stone staircase in the space extending all the way out until it reached the ancient bronze mirror. The Northern Sea Dragon led Mu Chen and Nine Nether to this point, and then handed a copper seal to Mu Chen.

“Trigger this item, and you will be able to access the Mirror of Judgment. However, you are unable to use it to attack, as you are incapable of activating this Divine Artifact with your current ability. If you were to misuse it, you would get severely injured with the backlash.”

Mu Chen nodded as he received the copper seal.

“I will take my leave first then.”

The Northern Sea Dragon smiled as he vanished. He did not insist on staying, although he was curious why Mu Chen had asked to borrow the Mirror of Judgment. However, he did not probe. After all, everyone had their own secrets.

With the Northern Sea Dragon’s departure, the space became silent. Mu Chen lifted his head to look at the massive Mirror of Judgement as his spiritual energy surged into the copper seal in his hand.

A faint beam of light shot out of his palm and directly into the dusky surface of the Mirror of Judgment.

Buzz.

Tiny ripples moved across the mirror, and the Mirror of Judgment gradually became clear. However, the surface of the mirror had a fathomless depth, as if it were the night sky, and emitted a mysterious aura.

Mu Chen took a deep breath as he spread out his hand. Amid the flickering lights, a page of the mysterious Immortal Pages appeared in a flash.

With a snap of his fingers, the page from the Immortal Pages fluttered out, finally stopping in mid-air in front of the Mirror of Judgment.

Buzz.

As the surface rippled, streams of light flickered and transformed into a beam of light. It surged out, enveloping and entering a page of the Immortal Pages.

Buzz.

As the light engulfed it, the Mirror of Judgment suddenly quivered violently, and the ripples on its surface showed signs of losing control.

Mu Chen and Nine Nether looked on anxiously. The Immortal Catalog was indeed terrifying, even though they had used a page of the Immortal Pages as a priming source, the Mirror of Judgment nearly lost control.

Their eyes were fixed on the surface of the Mirror of Judgment, but minutes passed and there was still only darkness.

Seeing this, Mu Chen’s eyebrows knitted together tightly.

“Is the Immortal Catalog that formidable, that even the Mirror of Judgment is unable to detect its trace…”

Nine Nether sighed. Indeed, it was worthy of being the legendary Primitive Celestial Body.

Mu Chen remained silent, but he stared at the scene unblinkingly.

A few more minutes passed as the disappointment in Mu Chen’s eyes grew. Nine Nether could only pat his shoulder lightly in consolation.

However, just as Mu Chen and Nine Nether thought that all hope was lost, the surface of the mirror, which had remained still all the while, finally rippled violently as a blurry picture began to appear on the dark surface.

Mu Chen and Nine Nether brightened in surprise as ecstasy surged in their eyes. Had the mirror finally detected something?
