We’re all family, why act so distant? Just like that battle in Kanming City, if Mingguang Dust had been willing to call, he could have arrived instantly. How could he allow others to besiege like that? Couldn’t the two True Lords of Dawn Brightness Peak advance and retreat together?
Fortunately, my junior brother didn’t die and instead, thanks to misfortune, became a True Lord and even took on a highly talented disciple-nephew. It’s indeed a double blessing.
I heard recently that my disciple-nephew is returning to the sect. As an elder, what gift should I prepare? Should I also consider accepting a disciple? That Little Clam Demon from earlier wasn’t bad. Though undoubtedly not as impressive as my disciple-nephew, it’s sufficient. As long as he’s diligent in cultivation in the future, at the very least, the True Person title is assured.
While flying, he received a message from his master.
[Heguang, return quickly, your disciple-nephew is returning to the sect, everyone at Dawn Brightness Peak must be present!]
"Understood, Master."
Ming Heguang laughed heartily, accelerated instantly, transforming into a stream of profound light, and disappeared.
Soon, he returned to the Bright Mirror Sect.
For a Divine Treasure True Man, if they focused solely on traveling and didn’t observe the surroundings, their speed would be incredible—tens of thousands of miles would be covered in just a few hours.
When he returned to the sect, the first thing Master Xuanyu saw was a well-arranged pile of square skulls at the sect’s entrance.
The bodies had been removed, but the skulls were neatly arranged, with a traitor sign of Bright Mirror Sect hanging beside them, detailing the crimes of each skull.
With a half-opened eye on the left, Ming Heguang took a sip of wine. Thinking of the recent rumors about Red Tower City, he had a suspicion: "Could it be, my great disciple-nephew’s handiwork?"
"Entering the sect by killing to show power, with overwhelming dominance, that’s the character of someone aiming for greatness, not someone easily dealt with—interesting. After all these years of boredom and entanglement within the sect, it’s about to get intriguing."
In the past, Ming Heguang evidently didn’t like the sect’s internal affairs, which is why he was always out on missions.
But now, with his great disciple-nephew, the Bright Mirror Sect certainly wouldn’t be dull!
After entering the sect, releasing everyone from Youfeng Cave, and planning to find his master Chenyinzi and his good disciple-nephew An Jing, he found that he couldn’t reach Chenyinzi. He was surprised: "What’s going on? Wasn’t he in the sect earlier? How did I lose contact all of a sudden?"
He looked up thoughtfully towards the main peak of Bright Mirror Mountain, encircled by the other peaks like supporting hands.
Sure enough, phenomena arose.
By coincidence, as Ming Heguang looked up towards the top of Bright Mirror Mountain’s ancestral peak, a beam of void Mirror Light soared into the sky, piercing through the scattered clouds and the infinite sky, revealing a pitch-black void like a wound, the vast Taiyu starry sky emerging!
Under the mirror light, the stars above the firmament appeared from the dark void, continuously flickering and swaying. At the same time, a part of the Void Divine Mirror also faintly revealed its brilliance, making the entire Bright Mirror Sect’s disciples bend over, even kneel in reverence!
Because that was the shadow of the sect’s supreme treasure, the Heavenly Mirror Fragment!
"Unbelievable, the last time this happened was when Guangchen Suran’s generation of five all became Divine Treasures, right? But this time, it’s only one person..."
Staring at the turbulent void of the Heavenly Mirror, Ming Heguang also bowed, then took a large swig of wine and said with great emotion: "Just like Guangchen... but more powerful, more extreme."
"My good disciple-nephew... really caused a big commotion!"
