chapter-2098
There were various types of Dao talismans with many uses in the Dao Martial Saint Land. The Mirror Image Talisman was one of them. Moreover, there were two types of Mirror Image Talisman. They were ordinary Mirror Image Talismans and Minor Major Mirror Image Talismans.
An ordinary Mirror Image Talisman could be used to record scenes that occurred within a certain period of time in the form of motion pictures. When it was torn up, it would replay the scene it had recorded.
The effect was similar to a video camera on earth where Duan Ling Tian was from in his past life. The only difference was it did not record sounds.
Previously, when Duan Ling Tian was in the Moon Illumination Sect, someone from the Mountainshade Black Market’s branch had plotted against him by using an ordinary Mirror Image Talisman.
That person from the Mountainshade Black Market’s branch used the ordinary Mirror Image Talisman and recorded Duan Ling Tian and broadcasted it through a Sky Screen Mirror Image in the sky above Moon Illumination Sect. It had shocked the Moon Illumination Sect and caused Duan Ling Tian to leave the Moon Illumination Sect!A Minor Major Mirror Image Talisman was not one but two talismans. They came in a set of two. A Minor Major Mirror Image Talisman had one Minor Mirror Image Talisman and one Major Mirror Image Talisman. The Minor Mirror Image Talisman would be carried around by a person and would constantly record whatever the person saw. If the person carrying the Minor Mirror Image Talisman was killed, the Minor Mirror Image Talisman would retain the final scene of the person that was killed and would transmit the scene back to the person holding the Major Mirror Image Talisman. Once the Major Mirror Image Talisman was torn up, one would be able to view the scenes recorded by the Minor Mirror Image Talisman.
The Leader of the Ground Ax Alliance’s expression was extremely grim when he watched the scene transmitted by the Major Mirror Image Talisman and saw the handsome and elegant purple-clad young man. “Who’s that?!”
The Leader of the Ground Ax Alliance was called Yao Bu Ji. He was a middle-aged man with a medium built. He had an ordinary appearance. He would not have stood out in a crowd of people. However, this seemingly ordinary middle-aged man was a leader of an alliance in Sin City! Apart from that, Yao Bu Ji was also one of the stronger powerhouses at the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. He was ranked in the top 300 on the Supreme Saint Ranking.
When Yao Bu Ji witnessed two of his men being killed by a young man through the Major Mirror Image Talisman, he was obviously upset. However, it was not the death of the two men that caused the loss of his composure. He had lost his composure because he had sent the two men to snatch the Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword! The Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword was stored in the Spatial Ring that the Ground Ax Alliance members obtained from the old man before they were killed by the purple-clad young man.
Yao Bu Ji did not want to attract people’s attention. That was why he did not personally make a move or sent elite powerhouses out. Moreover, since the old man was not much of a threat, he had sent two men who were only at the peak of the Quintessential Saint Stage out to snatch the old man’s Spatial Ring that contained a Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword! He certainly did not expect his plans would be ruined by the purple-clad young man.
“That two idiots… Must they offend him?” Although Yao Bu Ji could only watch what happened and could not hear what they were saying, he could easily guess what had transpired from the movements of their lips. He knew the purple-clad young man had killed the two men from the Ground Ax Alliance because they had looked for trouble with him first.
‘Fortunately, I gave that two idiots a Minor Mirror Image Talisman each before they left. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know who currently possesses the Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword!’ Yao Bu Ji thought to himself, feeling lucky.However, Yao Bu Ji still found it somewhat wasteful. Ordinary Mirror Talismans might not be very valuable, but Minor Major Mirror Image Talismans were extremely expensive. Even as the Leader of the Ground Ax Alliance, he only possessed a few of the talismans. This time, he had lost two of them at once!
‘As long as I can find the purple-clad young man, I’ll be able to get the Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword… The loss of the two Minor Major Mirror Image Talismans is not such a waste after all!’ Yao Bu Ji consoled himself inwardly.
Naturally, the purple-clad young man whom Yao Bu Ji saw was none other than Duan Ling Tian who had just recently arrived in Sin City.
Duan Ling Tian was, naturally, unaware that the old man who was killed by the two men from the Ground Ax Alliance outside of Sin City possessed something as precious as a Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword! Moreover, the Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword was currently in his possession. To be more precise, it was in the old man’s Spatial Ring that was kept in one of the Ground Ax Alliance’s member’s Spatial Ring, and currently, it was kept in Duan Ling Tian’s Spatial Ring.
Duan Ling Tian had no time to look at the rewards he reaped today so he was unaware that he had unwittingly obtained a Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword.
Currently, Duan Ling Tian was in a restaurant in Sin City. This restaurant was one of the busiest restaurants in the center of Sin City. He had been in the restaurant for quite some time so he had a better understanding of Sin City now.
‘No wonder so many sectless cultivators settle down in Sin City. As it turns out, there are powerhouses at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage and above in Sin City who would occasionally give things to them by literally throwing them around!’
Duan Ling Tian learned about this from the conversation in his surroundings. He had chosen to sit by a window in the restaurant.
In Sin City, there were a few sectless cultivators above the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage who were not in any alliance. They had a high status in the city and was widely respected. Occasionally, they would throw out some items that ordinary cultivators considered as treasures. The sectless cultivators would fight and kill over it.
These items ranged from celestial-grade Saint Stones to high-grade Martial Tactics, Dao Talismans, and Hundred Inscriptions Saint Weapons.
‘These strong powerhouses are treating the other sectless cultivators as a form of entertainment!’ Duan Ling Tian shook his head when he thought about this.
Based on the sectless cultivators’ conversations, Duan Ling Tian learned the powerhouses above the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage would throw the items around, leading to a bloodbath in Sin City. Many sectless cultivators had died in an attempt to obtain the items.
Humans were greedy after all.
The items that the powerhouses above the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage casually threw out might not be worth much to them, but to ordinary sectless cultivators, those items were treasures that were worth risking their lives for.
‘Those unfortunate souls would have to fight for the treasure when it’s thrown out in a street of people. The ones who are luckier might find the items being thrown in a place where there are no people,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.
The sectless cultivators gathered in Sin City in hopes of one day getting their hands on the treasures if luck was on their side
‘This is just like buying lottery on earth. They all clearly know the chances of hitting the jackpot are low, yet it doesn’t stop countless people from buying it. After all, if one hit the jackpot, the monetary reward numbered in the millions! To be fair, compared to hitting the jackpot, their chances are higher when it comes to obtaining the treasures these powerhouses casually throw out,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.
Soon after, Duan Ling Tian learned about another attraction in Sin City. ‘There’s a treasure vault that was left behind by a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage after he passed the Heavenly Tribulation and ascended?’
Every once in a while, news would circulate in Sin City about the treasure left behind by a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.
Everybody knew that once one entered the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, they would have to face the Heavenly Tribulation before ascending to the Devata Realm. This applied to Martial Cultivators, Dao Cultivators, Devil Cultivators alike.
The Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage was also known as the Celestial Ascension Form! They would only be able to ascend if they passed the Heavenly Tribulation. They had the option of ascending immediately or wait before they decide to ascend. Naturally, there was a time limit to how long they could wait.
Generally, people who passed the Heavenly Tribulation could not remain in the mundane realm for long. After a period of time, they would be forced to ascend to the Devata Realm by the celestial ascension force.
Naturally, it was not a guarantee that all powerhouses at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage would pass the Heavenly Tribulation.
The Heavenly Tribulation was extremely terrifying. Many powerhouses at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage had died after being turned to ashes by the Heavenly Tribulation!
Powerhouses at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage from major forces would usually keep Saint Weapons and Dao Talismans that would strengthen them the most. The rest of their belongings would be kept in a Spatial Ring and left behind in the force they belonged to.
The Heavenly Tribulations were capable of destroying Spatial Rings after all. Even if they passed the Heavenly Tribulation, they would not be able to bring anything with them when they ascended. This was because the celestial ascension force would repel everything, including 10,000 Inscriptions Saint Weapons.
