Mortal Mirror

#400 - Chapter 400: Jade Dew Listening to Cicadas, Nine Mysterious Holy Body

It could be said that Zhu Zhu was a clever girl, because from a young age, she understood many things.

The fate of children from large families is never in their own hands. The stories in books are all lies. There are no stories of heroes saving beauties.

There are no immortals descending to elope with poor young men; these are just beautiful ideas.

Her mother told her from a young age that the family gave her everything she wanted, so she had to dedicate herself. What about princes and nobles?

The children of princes and nobles are even less free, because each of them is a brick of the family, and they must contribute to the family.

Either they make great achievements or become extraordinary, letting the world know how powerful you are.

Or, they become the threads connecting the family with other powerful forces. How many daughters of princes and nobles are indispensable tools for winning people's hearts?

Zhu Zhu understood too well that everything she possessed would eventually become a tomb to bury her, but she didn't want to think about those messy things.

At least not now. Maybe one day, she would achieve something extraordinary and be able to control her own life, but that was ultimately a difficult dream to realize.

However, this World's First Martial Arts Tournament was quite attractive to her. If she achieved something extraordinary, it might be one of her few bargaining chips.

At this moment, she couldn't help but think of that guy. She wondered what Li Ergou was like and if he was still in Tiangou Town. Perhaps, the two of them ultimately belonged to two different worlds.

Alas, perhaps everything was just a beautiful memory.

Great Xia Imperial City, Dadu.

In a corner of the endless and magnificent imperial palace, there was an equally gorgeous courtyard. At this moment, a white-browed, beardless eunuch in the courtyard nodded incessantly.

Looking at the bright-eyed girl in front of him, he said, "Well, not bad, not bad. As expected of someone with the Nine Profound Holy Body. It's only been a short time, and you're already in the late stage of the Golden Core realm. This cultivation speed is truly unimaginable. It's just a pity that you haven't refined your natal flying sword yet.

However, that's because you don't often go out to fight. After all, many sword intents require not only your understanding of the sword but also better comprehension through battle.

It's just strange. I don't know what's sealed in your sea of consciousness. Even I don't dare to peek into it."

The girl blinked her watery eyes and said, "Master, if you don't know, how could I possibly know? I only know that the World's First Martial Arts Tournament is about to begin. Should I go out and try it out? Maybe I can win a title."

The old eunuch chuckled and said, "Sining, I know what you're thinking. Well, it's time for you to go out. I heard that the Nineteenth Prince will also be there. You haven't seen each other for several years. This is a good opportunity to meet."

Sining's eyes lit up, and she said happily, "Really? That's great. I'll let him see how powerful I am now."

It turned out that this girl was Sining. When Murong Shijiu was sent to the Cloud Heaven Palace, she was left in the imperial palace by the old eunuch to be taught. After all, Sining's body was special, and she was a remarkable talent.

Sining never told the old eunuch that she had secretly cultivated the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra. This technique was created by heaven and earth and was extremely powerful, even more powerful than the old eunuch's divine skills.

Unfortunately, she was afraid that if the old eunuch found out, he would cause some trouble, so she always cultivated secretly without letting him know. Most importantly, her body was special, and there was a strange seal in her sea of consciousness.

Anyone who tried to explore her body would be met with a huge backlash, so even the old eunuch couldn't explore her true cultivation and techniques.

If she didn't tell him, he wouldn't be able to know.

In fact, Sining was also very puzzled and didn't know why this was the case. Most importantly, she was like this when the eunuch bought her back.

She even suspected that this might be related to her parents. Unfortunately, the eunuch told her that the person who sold her said that her parents were all dead.

Alas, everything was a mystery. However, she vaguely remembered having an older brother, but she was too young at the time, and her brother's appearance was too blurry.

The old eunuch, seeing Sining absent-minded, couldn't help but say, "This time, work hard. When the time comes, your master will definitely come forward and personally recommend you to the Emperor, so that you can also get a job."

Sining quickly refused, "Master, I still want to be free for a few years. Please let me be carefree."

The old eunuch said, "Alas, foolish child, while your master still has some power in his hands, how can I not help you? Don't worry, your master has his own plans."

Sining was helpless. Her master was just a stubborn donkey, and she couldn't argue with him. Whatever.

Baojing Prefecture, Jade Cicada Mountain. This mountain is a rare blessed land, but it is deep and sealed by a huge force, making it impossible for outsiders to set foot here.

White clouds floated on the mountain, cranes danced, and spirit beasts roamed everywhere, truly a blessed land.

On the top of the mountain, there was a middle-aged man standing there. From afar, for some reason, his back gave people a feeling like mountains and rivers.

Yes, that was the aura he involuntarily exuded. Without seeing his face, people knew that he must be an unparalleled master.

He was wearing brown clothes, and his face had an indescribable power of majesty. In front of him, there was a little girl, looking sixteen or seventeen years old, kneeling on the ground, tears constantly falling from her eyes.

She whispered, "Father, I hope you have a good journey. In the next life, I will still be your daughter."

In front of the girl, there was a grave mound as tall as a person, with fresh soil, indicating that it had just been dug. There was a stone tablet in front of the grave mound, with the words 'Grave of Benevolent Father Fuwa' written on it.

If Li Ergou were here at this moment, he would be surprised by this name. That's right, this was the father and daughter he helped at the steamed bun shop in Tiangou Town.

Fuwa and the little girl. Unfortunately, for some reason, Fuwa had died. Alas, Fuwa, Fuwa, after all, he didn't have the fate to be blessed, even though he was named Fuwa.

The middle-aged man with a majestic face looked at the little girl and said, "Yulu, the dead cannot be brought back to life. Your father's time was up, and your master did his best."

At this moment, the little girl who had no name also had a nice name.

She looked at the man and said, "Master, I know, but my father suffered too much. I'm really sad, so sad."

"Alas, everything is fate, and nothing is up to us. It's a pity that I arrived one step late. Although your master has elixirs, I can't bring an ordinary person back to life. After all, I'm powerless.

Yulu, you have a natural sword body and are a rare candidate for supreme sword cultivation. I had already closed the mountain, but this time, I'm making an exception to open the mountain again for you, hoping that you can inherit my mantle."

"Master, are you very powerful? What's your name?"

"Hehe, name? That's just a code name. My name is Yu Tongtian. Some people used to call me the Peerless Sword...尊 (Zun - a respectful title)."

If Li Ergou were here, he would be dumbfounded. Peerless Sword Zun. He remembered that Shenlongyu Li Hongyu said that she, Qicaiyu, and a black dragon fish were all defeated by the Peerless Sword Zun.

The Peerless Sword Zun also took away the black dragon fish. This was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that this happened ten thousand years ago. In that case, wouldn't this Peerless Sword Zun have lived for ten thousand years? Ten thousand years, so how high would his cultivation be?

Terrible indeed, but that's how it is.

Yulu nodded. At this moment, she didn't know how terrifying this Peerless Sword Zun was. She sobbed twice and said, "Master, don't worry, disciple will be obedient and cultivate well with you, and also become a peerless sword cultivator."

The man nodded, and said very gratified, "Good, girl, let's go. Although you are young, you have tasted all the hardships of the world, which is commendable.

It's just that my sword is a sword of the mortal world. If you want to cultivate this sword, you still need to continue walking in the world. I will take you down the mountain now. We will cultivate while walking, and your master will go all out to help you achieve the Golden Core realm."

Yucheng, in the space of the underground world, a turtle with a blue head emerged from the pond.
