#1012 - Chapter 1012 Origin
Lin Yaoyao and the others returned with a full load, cautiously making their way back to逍遥 Peak, afraid that Ye Kong would return before them and be disturbed.
The thatched hut of Ye Kong was still lit.
Ye Kong was currently meditating with his eyes closed, his divine sense perceiving the movements within逍遥 Peak. His thick eyelashes trembled like butterfly wings, and then he opened his eyes.
Ye Kong knew that his disciples had returned, but he didn't say much.
Ye Kong stood up and walked to the table beside him.
The Heavenly Radiance Lamp, the Defiled Mystery Mirror, the Blood Jade Pendant, the Mask, and the Soul Extinguishing Bowl were neatly placed on the table. Ye Kong's trip to Ancient Abyss City had been quite fruitful.
Following the system's instructions, Ye Kong twirled his fingers, and crimson golden flames emerged from his fingertips.
Ye Kong touched the wick, and the wick of the Heavenly Radiance Lamp visibly grew larger. With each increase, the light became brighter and covered a wider area.
"Ding~ Beneath the lamp's light, impurities are cleansed, turbidity is removed, and all living beings thrive; those with good intentions who hold it can cross the sea of suffering, connect Yin and Yang, and traverse to the other shore," the system explained to Ye Kong.
After listening to the system's explanation, Ye Kong ignored the Heavenly Radiance Lamp.
"I'm not a ferryman, this lamp is useless."
System……
Ye Kong picked up the Defiled Mystery Mirror, and the bright copper surface reflected Ye Kong's handsome face.
"The Treasure Pavilion's Master said that this Defiled Mystery Mirror has a seal."
Ye Kong put down the Defiled Mystery Mirror and performed hand seals, intending to break the mirror's seal.
The Defiled Mystery Mirror slowly floated up, its entire body surrounded by black mist.
Ye Kong discovered that the seal on the Defiled Mystery Mirror was unusually difficult to break. Even his spiritual energy couldn't break through it.
Ye Kong turned around, his palms moving, and the true essence within his body stirred, like streams flowing directly into the Defiled Mystery Mirror. Ye Kong wanted to use his own true essence to clear the turbid black energy of the Defiled Mystery Mirror, thereby breaking its seal.
Just as the turbid black energy of the Defiled Mystery Mirror was being gradually eliminated by Ye Kong, the Heavenly Radiance Lamp around Ye Kong seemed to sense something.
The Heavenly Radiance Lamp flew up and hovered above the Defiled Mystery Mirror, the flame within still burning.
The area illuminated by the lamp was particularly bright.
When the light of the Heavenly Radiance Lamp shone on the Defiled Mystery Mirror, the turbid black energy surrounding it dissipated at a visible rate.
Seeing this, Ye Kong didn't expect this little lamp to be so effective, clearing the turbid black energy of the Defiled Mystery Mirror so quickly.
Ye Kong seized the opportunity and cast a spell again, easily breaking the seal on the Defiled Mystery Mirror.
Ye Kong picked up the Defiled Mystery Mirror again and examined it carefully.
The mirror surface revealed an ancient demon beast with scarlet fur, resembling a leopard, with five tails, and a single horn on its head.
Ye Kong recognized it as the ancient ferocious beast, 狰 (Zheng)!
Legend has it that in ancient times, 狰 brought disaster to the world. Its mouth was huge, capable of swallowing an entire head with a single bite, making it extremely terrifying. Besides eating people, tigers and lions were also its prey. Later, 狰 was jointly destroyed by the twelve shamans of the Witch Clan.
Ye Kong didn't expect that 狰 was actually sealed within the Defiled Mystery Mirror.
The 狰 within the Defiled Mystery Mirror revealed two green night-shining pearls. Seeing Ye Kong, 狰's pupils slightly contracted unconsciously, and a sharp light flashed in the depths of its eyes.
Ye Kong also sensed 狰's fiery gaze. For safety's sake, Ye Kong cast a spell to add his own seal to the Defiled Mystery Mirror.
狰 glared at Ye Kong fiercely, as if it would open its mouth and swallow Ye Kong in one gulp in the next second.
Ye Kong remembered something, and with a stretch of his right hand, the Heavenly Radiance Lamp flew over, and Ye Kong steadily grabbed it.
Ye Kong brought the mirror surface of the Defiled Mystery Mirror close to the wick of the Heavenly Radiance Lamp, allowing the light of the Heavenly Radiance Lamp to shine on 狰.
Sure enough, this method was still feasible. After being illuminated by the light of the Heavenly Radiance Lamp, the ferocity in 狰's eyes disappeared, becoming unusually docile.
Ye Kong instantly felt that this Heavenly Radiance Lamp was too useful.
With a wave of his small hand, Ye Kong briefly removed the seal on the Defiled Mystery Mirror, allowing the 狰 inside to escape from the confines of the Defiled Mystery Mirror.
The tamed 狰, like a docile puppy, rubbed against Ye Kong's legs.
狰, where is your ancient ferocious beast aura?
Ye Kong squatted down and touched 狰's furry head.
"Having been sealed for hundreds of years, you must be very hungry."
With a wave of his hand, various delicacies immediately appeared on the ground, and 狰 directly lowered its head and devoured them.
Ye Kong got up again and picked up the Blood Jade Pendant.
The jade pendant had a purplish-red color, as bright as mutton fat, with exquisite carvings, and the jade pendant exuded a bloody spiritual aura.
Ye Kong held the Blood Jade Pendant tightly in his palm, then closed his eyes and used his divine sense to perceive the origin of the Blood Jade Pendant.
On a huge altar, a person slowly walked up.
"Rumble~" The surface of the altar opened, revealing countless people inside.
Ye Kong felt something was wrong when he saw this scene and frowned.
The person always had their back to Ye Kong, and Ye Kong couldn't see their true face.
The people imprisoned under the altar knelt down and begged for mercy, but the person didn't hesitate at all, just cast a spell, and the imprisoned people were instantly drained of their blood.
All the imprisoned people turned pale and fell to the ground.
The person condensed all the blood and refined it into the final Blood Jade Pendant.
Ye Kong suddenly opened his eyes, looking at the Blood Jade Pendant in his hand, and seeing the hundreds of people who had just been drained of their blood, he also knew why he could sense a powerful force from that wealthy man. Now everything made sense.
Ye Kong knew that this Blood Jade Pendant was not a good thing, so he directly added the strongest magic seal to the Blood Jade Pendant.
"Ding~ Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Heavenly Radiance Lamp and the Defiled Mystery Mirror, you will receive a reward, the Purple Stabilizing Feather."
A purple feather appeared and floated in front of Ye Kong. Ye Kong reached out and took it.
Looking closely at this Purple Stabilizing Feather, it had a captivating brilliance, but in Ye Kong's eyes, it was just an exceptionally dazzling color.
"Ding~ With the Purple Stabilizing Feather, Foundation Establishment is guaranteed!"
Hearing the system say this, then this is definitely a Foundation Establishment item. As long as he gives this item to his little disciple Xing Chenlan tomorrow, then his Foundation Establishment will be no problem.
Ye Kong put away the Purple Stabilizing Feather, preparing to give it to Xing Chenlan tomorrow.
Then Ye Kong picked up the mask that he had been wearing for a night.
When Ye Kong saw the mask in the market, he felt that this thing was not simple, so he brought it back to逍遥 Peak.
But Ye Kong couldn't see any reason with his naked eyes, so he could only ask the system for help.
"System, what is different about this thing?"
"Ding~ Forged from pure Purple Nether Ice, it is truly rare."
The system only gave Ye Kong these few words and did not give any other explanation.
