"Kunlun, you have finally arrived."
As the sigh echoed, the crystal-diamond walls of the palace grew even brighter, as if all the energies of the entire relic had been activated at once.
Outside, the light-shield stirred gently, nearly destroying the hard-won passageway.
All the crystal-diamond tunnels trembled; the Netherfiends and Law-Realm experts inside were startled and bewildered, feeling as if the entire relic had truly awakened.
But it came quickly, and left just as fast.
It lasted only two or three seconds before the tremors vanished... The Law-Realm guardians and Netherfiend giants all grew vigilant, guarding against a relic riot or the triggering of crisis mechanisms.
Only Andrew Han knew the real truth.
Kunlun?
Andrew narrowed his eyes, watching the changes in the palace, secretly pondering.
"I've investigated the origins of the Kunlun Mirror before."
Back then, when that ancient immortal obtained the Kunlun Mirror, he heard the words 'Kunlun' ring in his ears as he used the artifact—thus he named it the Kunlun Mirror.
Know this: before the Kunlun Mirror, there was no 'Kunlun.'
Simply put, the pronunciation of 'Kunlun' originated roughly in the Pangu–Nüwa Era—because of the peculiar sound from the Kunlun Mirror, 'Kunlun' was born, later signifying the most important divine mountain in ancient Sinoveran myth.
So then.
Kunlun, you have come... But here, does 'you' refer to the silver-white bead Kunlun Mirror, or to the Kunlun Mirror Master who named it in ages past?
Huff, huff.
Andrew could almost hear the faint sound of his own breathing.
In a flash, his thoughts were razor-sharp.
His mind spun rapidly; he was always cautious and meticulous. Coupled with his earlier suspicions, the answer was already clear in his heart.
The Kunlun Mirror Master!
It must be the Kunlun Mirror Master!
No wonder the silver-white bead Kunlun Mirror contained no Graywhite Aura—most likely, it harbored the residual consciousness of the Kunlun Mirror Master within, making the Kunlun Mirror a living entity. Even if Graywhite Aura existed, it could not be detected, let alone absorbed.
Terrifying!
Absurd!
Utterly preposterous... After all these ages, the Kunlun Mirror truly harbored something abnormal. Andrew nearly broke out in a cold sweat—thankfully, his crystal-diamond Inspiration could grind away all impurities.
If it had been any other Law-Realm expert...
They would likely have been invaded by the Kunlun Mirror Master's consciousness; if they could withstand it, they would live, and if not, they would die—replaced by that ancient Kunlun from ages past.
"Damn."
Could the other artifacts also harbor similar dangers? And something feels off—why was that ancient immortal who wielded the Kunlun Mirror unharmed? Or... did he in fact become Kunlun!!!
At this thought, Andrew's expression changed drastically.
