"Cousin, wait a moment,"
Xia Yanze and two other martial artists from the Xia Yan family were also preparing to head to Dead Corpse Country for hunting when Xia Yanyi called out to him.
Xia Yanze looked at him with some confusion.
"Take these Crystal Cores, we’ve harvested some extras,"
Quietly, Xia Yanyi also took out Crystal Cores from his Storage Treasure and handed them to Xia Yanze and the others.
Previously, Xia Yanyi had consulted Su Changkong and others’ opinions. These extra Crystal Cores were of no use, and with the permission of Su Changkong and Hong Zhenxiang, Xia Yanyi decided to give the extra Crystal Cores to Xia Yanze and his group.
"This..."
Xia Yanze was somewhat astonished. In just one day, had Su Changkong and his group harvested so many Crystal Cores?
"Yes, thank you. I hope you can go further," Xia Yanze accepted them, expressed his gratitude, and offered his blessings at the same time.
Xia Yanze knew in his heart that in this Mirror Heaven and Earth, they had no ability to compete for the Great Divine Seed and could only hope to travel further, gain more experiences and benefits.
Previously, the man in the blood robe as well as teams from the millennium families like the Mu Family and Shi Family had all moved on to the next challenge early, while they had spent more than ten days and were still a large number of Crystal Cores short of the 100,000 required. The gap was immense!
Su Changkong and his two companions did not hesitate. After resting, they walked into the chaotic darkness, pulling out the Crystal Cores they had collected from those decaying bodies and throwing them into the darkness.
As they threw the sufficient amount of Crystal Cores, mirror-like portals appeared in front of each of them, which they stepped through one after another.
What appeared before them was a dark space.
And in this dark space, a blurred figure stood silently.
"Congratulations on passing the ’Night God Country’ test. You will receive rewards given by the ’Mirror Master’. You can choose to continue forward, or you can choose to stop here and leave Mirror Heaven and Earth,"
The blurred figure looked at Su Changkong and his companions, his voice devoid of any emotional fluctuations; despite sounding congratulatory, there was no hint of joy.
"Night God Country? Mirror Master?"
Su Changkong speculated in his mind that the Night God Country mentioned by the blurred figure was probably the previous ’Dead Corpse Country,’ and as for the Mirror Master, it was likely the fallen Great Divine Power Martial Saint!
"Who are you?"
Xia Yanyi then asked sternly, suspecting the blurred figure was akin to some sort of puppet.
"I am the Mirror Being, responsible for managing Mirror Heaven and Earth," the blurred figure spoke calmly, like a mechanical puppet, referring to himself as the Mirror Being.
"So, the Mirror Master who left behind Mirror Heaven and Earth has died? Is it true that he wants to choose a successor to pass on the Great Divine Seed?"
Hong Zhenxiang asked curiously.
The Mirror Being remained calm, "The Mirror Master has fallen, leaving the Great Divine Seed to those who come after. However, to obtain the Great Divine Seed, one must be more monstrous and superior than the Mirror Master, and... must fulfill his last wish."
"More monstrous and superior than the Mirror Master?"
This made the three of them look at each other.
The Mirror Master, a Martial Saint who had achieved Great Divine Power, was considered a top-level figure in the history of the Ancient Holy Country. To be more superior and monstrous than the Mirror Master? How many such supremely monstrous beings could there be?
And even if one passed the tests set by the Mirror Master, to obtain the Great Divine Seed, one would still need to complete his last wish. A last wish left by a Great Divine Power Martial Saint was surely not simple!
"What is his last wish? Did the Mirror Master Die while Meditating naturally?" Xia Yanyi immediately pressed for further information, eager to know more.
"You’ll be eligible to know only after passing the test," the Mirror Being spoke in a mechanical, cold voice, revealing nothing further.
"Achieving the Great Divine Seed is truly not easy," Su Changkong muttered resignedly.
Despite the numerous gifted individuals currently inside, including many reincarnations of Martial Saints, it was not certain that they would meet the Mirror Master’s standards!
Perhaps only with arrivals from Ancient Holy Country might there be a chance for someone to pass the challenging tests left by the Mirror Master, fulfill his last wish, and obtain the Great Divine Seed.
"Rewards? What rewards can we get?" Hong Zhenxiang didn’t dwell on the possibility of obtaining the Great Divine Seed; he was quite interested in the rewards for passing the ’Night God Country’ test.
"You can choose any reward—Cultivation Techniques, Spirit Pills, weapons, Divine Seeds, Spirit Crystals, Spiritual Liquid... The Mirror Master has left quite a treasure; of course, it’s limited to the rewards scope for passing the ’Night God Country’ test. To qualify for Divine Seed-level rewards, you must pass the third challenge,"
said the Mirror Being.
This brightened the eyes of Su Changkong and his companions. The Mirror Master, as a Great Divine Power Martial Saint, had accumulated treasures and wealth beyond ordinary imagination!
Even Divine Seeds, the Mirror Master had quite a few!
And the rewards for passing the second challenge, ’Night God Country,’ were limited to below the Divine Seed level!
