Chapter 1093 - 246: Human at Heart, Wu at Soul for Divine Artifact
Nobody would have thought that Ji Ru Mo was the Heavenly Destiny Mirror they had been searching for all along.
Nor would anyone have guessed, at the final moment, Ji Ru Mo would choose to block Hei Yao’s attack with his true form.
Everyone was silent as a grave.
Only Yun Sheng lowered her head to look at that mirror.
On the mirror, the red liquid flowing out was not just tears, but blood.
Yun Sheng’s eyes were somewhat moist.
At this moment, her mind was filled with countless thoughts, yet she didn’t know how to express them.
Golden Qilin Ye Beiming also stood at a distance, knowing that this was not the time to disturb Yun Sheng.
The cracked mirror could no longer clearly reflect a person’s face, but it could refract an amber light.
That light was very much like Ji Ru Mo’s eyes, equally gentle, equally heart-stirring.
Yun Sheng gently rubbed the irreparable cracks on the mirror with her fingers, and as they scraped her skin, there was a faint pain.
Her ears still echoed with Ji Ru Mo’s final words.
She slowly closed her eyes.
In her mind flashed the beam of Light Power that Ji Ru Mo shot into her forehead.
Within it, was a piece of Ji Ru Mo’s memory, a secret deep within Ji Ru Mo that nobody knew.
Ji Ru Mo’s memory spread out like the rising tide.
There are many kinds of love in the world, some are passionate like a blazing sun, others are reserved like trickling streams.
And then there is a kind that is silent waiting.
Whether Xia Wenxu or Ji Ru Mo, his love was very reserved.
That love was so reserved that Yun Sheng only knew it at the moment of his death.
Ji Ru Mo was the Heavenly Destiny Mirror, always has been.
The Eight Desolate Divine Artifacts are all sentient, and after the successive deaths and retreats of the Eight Desolate Strong People, each artifact met a different fate.
Among the Eight Great Divine Artifacts, the Heavenly Destiny Mirror did not have the same renowned reputation as the others, and its true purpose has long been misunderstood by outsiders.
The Heavenly Destiny Mirror was always thought to be merely a mirror that could foresee the future.
But in fact, the true Heavenly Destiny Mirror’s function is far more extensive.
The Heavenly Destiny Mirror can perceive a person’s soul and foresee their future.
But its greatest feature is its ability to reflect everything, be it magic or combat skills.
Yet that is only the case during battle; most of the time, the Heavenly Destiny Mirror acts like an ordinary mirror, merely reflecting what belongs to others.
After the Eight Great Masters fell, the Heavenly Destiny Mirror ended up with ordinary folks.
Because no one discovered the true function of the Heavenly Destiny Mirror, it was always mistaken as an ordinary mirror due to its exquisite appearance.
It circulated like a common item, passing through the hands of different people.
Having experienced many hosts and witnessed countless human emotions and desires, it surprisingly began to form its own consciousness.
Eventually, it ended up with the wife of a Penglai merchant, who became deeply fond of it.
But as she grew older, her beauty faded, and with her husband’s infidelity, she could not face the reality of her aging appearance. In anger, she hurled the Heavenly Destiny Mirror into the Penglai Sea.
Thus, the Heavenly Destiny Mirror, one of the Eight Desolate Divine Artifacts, lay buried at the sea bottom for hundreds of years, unnoticed.
In the cleansing of the Penglai Sea Water, absorbing abundant spiritual energy from both the heavens and the sea, the consciousness within the Heavenly Destiny Mirror grew clearer.
Finally, with its own divine power and curiosity about human emotions, it transformed into a male infant.
By chance, the infant Ye Xia Wenxu washed ashore on the Penglai beach and was adopted by the Red Robe Summoning Emperor.
Upon taking human form, Ji Ru Mo continued to learn diligently, learning how to be human, yet he could never master human emotions.
He treated others kindly because he didn’t care for anyone.
He bore no hatred and felt no joy, for in his eyes, all beings were equal.
Until one day, as Xia Wenxu, he met Yun Sheng.
Initially, Ji Ru Mo was curious, because Yun Sheng was the first person, as the Heavenly Destiny Mirror, he couldn’t see clearly with his Heavenly Vision.
But Ji Ru Mo didn’t know that this curiosity would one day evolve into a special emotion he could not control.
The second time Ji Ru Mo met Yun Sheng was in Yujing.
That time, he witnessed her magical talent and exceptional medical skills.
He tried to gather all kinds of information about Yun Sheng, gradually developing an intense interest in her.
He infiltrated the Little Ci’en Hall, for the first time, disguising his identity just to observe Yun Sheng closely.
The more he observed, the more he felt irresistibly drawn toward Yun Sheng, and by the time he realized his unusual feelings, it was already too late.
Reversing destiny, saving Yun Bahe, using a part of his divine power to help Yun Sheng escape a mortal peril; all of this was merely because he couldn’t bear for Yun Sheng to be harmed.
With a heart, one becomes human; without a heart, one remains a divine artifact.
A divine artifact is still a divine artifact, even after being human for many years, it inevitably reverts to its artifact form.
Ji Ru Mo probably had known the outcome long ago, yet he still chose to sacrifice himself.
This emotion of Ji Ru Mo, she fears she will never have a chance to repay in this life.
"Everything is destiny, Ru Mo, why must you be so foolish?" Chang Siming had lost his brother Ji Fang, and now his beloved disciple Ji Ru Mo, and in sorrow, tears streamed down his aging face.
"Bo Bo, this is no time for sorrow! Master, quick, look at the entrance to the Blood Realm!" Bo Bo sheep agitatedly.
The entrance to the Blood Realm was forcibly opened by Hei Yao using his own power. Although Hei Yao was repelled, the entrance hasn’t vanished; instead, due to the fierce battle between Ji Ru Mo and Hei Qilin King, the tear in the sky above the Dutian Blood Realm widened.
Though Hei Yao and Bashen Chi Mugu have been driven away, if the entrance to the Blood Realm isn’t completely sealed, the Beast God Altar and other clans of the Bahuang Tribe will still have opportunities to invade again.
"Chang... Chang Siming, let’s complete the final step, let the Blood Seal return to Wuji Continent, and permanently drive out those damned Eight Desolate Beast Clan!" Perhaps influenced by Ji Ru Mo, Gu Feng sounded resolute, his voice filled with the spirit of a valiant man.
Ji Ru Mo was a Light Mage; he used his life to repel Hei Yao.
He, Gu Feng, is also a Light Mage; he too can spare no effort to protect Wuji Continent.
"Indeed, we absolutely cannot let Ru Mo die in vain. Everyone, please leave the Dutian Blood Seal. The old me and Gu Feng will use Light Power to reconstruct the Dutian Blood Seal!" Chang Siming, after his grief, regained his composure.
