When he walked into the underground palace, Hong Ling still turned to look at the black ball of light that was bound by chains in the hall. On the chains, countless fiery red scars were constantly flickering. From time to time, they would emit a scorching heat that would scorch the ball of light until it trembled. Hong Ling could not understand how this thing could end up here, and from the looks of it, it seemed to be even stronger than before. This black fog was the evil spirit that the ghost had spat out back in the Ancient Tomb of Everlast's secret plane. But, after the Ghost Soul was killed by Hong Ling and the rest, didn't this mean that the evil ghost should have already died?

Inside the enormous underground palace, the stairs seemed endless. A dim yellow torch was inserted on both sides of the stairs. It was burning continuously, but not a single wisp of smoke appeared. It also emitted a faint fragrance. Hong Ling scratched his nose, looking at the torches curiously.

"Master Hong Ling, you seem to be very interested in the torches my Witch Clan can make with human fish paste?" Mo You turned around and said to Hong Ling with a smile.

Hong Ling rubbed his nose in embarrassment. He was indeed very curious about the torches, the rest of the torches were made from bronze, from top to bottom. When the youth heard Mo You say that the burning object on his head was human fish paste, he was greatly shocked. It was rumored that in the ancient times, the Human Emperor had ordered his subordinates to take a big ship out to sea. On the way, they were met with the obstruction of the Siren and Mermaid, who ultimately returned with treasures like the Deep Sea Night Pearl and Mermaid Ointment. It was said that if the mermaid paste was used as oil to burn lights, it could last for tens of thousands of years. He never thought that there would be so many torches made of mermaid paste in the depths of the Witch Clan.

They didn't follow the stairs to enter the underground palace. Mo You would occasionally knock on the stone wall and a new passage would immediately appear. After repeating this for dozens of times, the four of them finally arrived in front of a magnificent underground palace. Rather than calling it a palace, it would be more accurate to call it an enormous altar. Hong Ling looked over and realized that the dome above the altar was not a thick layer of rock. Instead, it was an ethereal starry sky, with countless stars twinkling and extinguishing.

A circular fiery red copper mirror was quietly floating above the altar, filled with cracks. Mo You and Mo Yue walked to the front of the copper mirror and knelt down with one knee facing it.

"Lord Sorcerer, I have already been ordered to bring the Holy Son and Sir Hong Ling here. There was a trace of fear in Mo You's voice, or rather, a chill.

Crack! Crack! Crack! Blood slowly flowed out from the innumerable cracks on the copper mirror. As they landed on the altar, they slowly turned into a human figure. When the figure completely formed, Hong Ling was stunned.

"Lu You!" How could it be you! " Hong Ling stared fixedly at the person in front of him, it was one of the four Qi Refinement into Spirit cultivators who had opened the Ancient Desolate Heavenly Secret Realm, Lu You. However, the current Lu You looked even younger. He only looked like a teenager, but his face couldn't be mistaken. It was as if he had returned to his prime. His aura was unfathomable, even above that of Mo You.

"Long time no see, Brother Hong Ling!" Lu You smiled, "Are you surprised to see that I'm still alive?"

"You're actually a Divine Magus from the Witch Clan!" Hong Ling stared at him, "According to what I know, you have not stepped out of the Heavenly Desolate Ancient Tomb after it closed.

"It's very simple. Because I'm the supreme Sorcerer God of Witch Clan, I have the power to transcend the heavens and earth. As for that insignificant Ancient Tomb of Eternity, how can it trap me?" Lu You smiled slightly, "Brother Hong Ling, you should be very curious, what is the reason I brought you here!"

"So what? Can it be that you will tell me?" Hong Ling looked at him, a bad feeling suddenly appearing in his heart for some reason. Ever since he had broken through the tenth level of World Barrier and swallowed fated star above the thirty-three heavens, his sixth sense had always been very accurate. In the dark, he seemed to be able to grasp the direction of the future. However, when he looked at Lu You now, he felt a strong sense of crisis.

"So what if I tell you?" Lu You smiled, "Brother Hong, do you know where this bronze mirror behind me comes from? As for me, my true identity, who am I? "

"There's no need to keep me in the dark. If you don't want to say it, then forget it!" Hong Ling said coldly.

"Hehe, Brother Hong is actually angry. However, I can tell you that this bronze mirror has a very ancient name. In ancient times, people called it Yan Huang! "Now, why don't you guys guess who my identity is?!" Lu You's face was full of smiles, but Hong Ling could feel that he was extremely impatient, as though an extremely strong desire was growing in his body.

"Yanhuang Mirror!" The little fatty's expression changed, "Legend has it that it's the nation protecting Imperial Equipment of the Da Xia Empire! How could it be it? Didn't it disappear for tens of thousands of years? "

Hearing that, Hong Ling's face changed. If the broken copper mirror was really the Imperial Equipment's, then who exactly was Lu You? Who was it that could appear from the ancient mirror? Logically speaking, this ancient mirror should have almost been shattered by now. It should no longer possess any kind of power anymore. However, this mirror gave off an incomparably strong feeling. It was even stronger than Mo You, who had already stepped into the fifth level of Heaven Man.

Artifact Spirit! Hong Ling thought. As an artificer himself, he was not unfamiliar with the Artifact Spirit. Inside his Sorrow Spirit, there was a sword spirit sleeping soundly. He compared Lu You and the sword spirit of his Sorrow Spirit and found that the auras between the two were almost exactly the same. Compared to humans and other living beings with flesh and blood, the Artifact Spirit was slightly less lively. Because they were not born from nature, but were nurtured from the essence of nature, they had a less harmonious feeling when compared to other creatures.

"Hong Ling, he's the Artifact Spirit, the Artifact Spirit of the Yanhuang Mirror!" The little fatty said in fear, "Only the master of the Artifact Spirit and magic tools can casually enter the Yanhuang Mirror like him. However, the Human Emperor of the Da Xia Empire had long since died in the calamities of the Primordial Era. This means that he is the Artifact Spirit of the remaining Yanhuang Mirror! "

"No, Brother Sun, you guessed wrong, he is not Artifact Spirit. Or it could be said that he was not the Artifact Spirit of the Yanhuang Mirror's true body. He was a vengeful spirit that had occupied the Yanhuang Mirror and eroded it before replacing the Artifact Spirit. The real Artifact Spirit s of the Yanhuang Mirror had probably disappeared long ago. Moreover, his main body is not human! " Hong Ling looked at Lu You, who was currently floating in mid air, with a serious expression.

"Impossible, Yanhuang Mirror are the nation protecting Imperial Equipment of the Da Xia Empire. The Da Xia Empire is a nation founded based on the virtue of fire, so the Yanhuang Mirror itself is the most powerful Yang Imperial Equipment. The vengeful spirit is a ghost, so how can it withstand the Yanhuang Mirror's yang energy?! " The little fatty had an expression of disbelief.

"If it was any ordinary ghost, it would indeed be difficult to accomplish, but Brother Sun, don't you forget, the rumours say that it was not Human Clan that caused the calamity in the Da Xia Empire. In the ancient annals of history, the ones who destroyed the Grand Xia were the demi-humans and the non-humans. Amongst the non-humankind, there were quite a few that could resist the Yang energy. Furthermore, the royal family of the Cloud Golden Winged Peng is able to accomplish this even after death! " Hong Ling stared at Lu You, "If I haven't guessed wrongly, Brother Lu's main body should be the Great Peng!"

Clap clap clap. Lu You clapped with eyes full of admiration. The gaze he used to look at Hong Ling was filled with admiration and his eyes burned with passion.

"As expected of a person who obtained the inheritance of the Heavenly Desolate Earth Palace. It is likely that the reason why Brother Hong is so knowledgeable about the matters of the ancient era is because he obtained some information about the ancient era from the Heavenly Desolate Earth Palace!" Lu You looked at Hong Ling, "Furthermore, as far as I know, even though Shiwan Mountain's Heavenly Desolate Earth Palace is just a memorial grave, the descendant of the Desolate King still left some useful things inside! Among them, there are methods to refine artifacts and to cultivate in the ancient times! "

Lu You paused before continuing, "I entered some of the palaces in the Heavenly Desolate Land and found some good things, but I didn't manage to find the two most important things. The first was the method of refining the Sacred Flame of Eternity. The second was related to the fated star's fusion technique! But now, I am sure that these two things are on you, Brother Hong Ling. How about we make a deal? "

"Brother Hong Ling, if you give these two items to me, I can guarantee that I won't hurt you. I can even send you out of this underground palace!" Lu You's face was full of smiles, but everyone knew that the moment Hong Ling dared to say no, what awaited him was a miserable ending.

Hong Ling stared at him, her eyes filled with fear. To be able to corrode a broken Yanhuang Mirror after death, Lu You had no idea how strong he was when he was still alive. Maybe it was the Monarch Stage from the legends. If he made a deal with such a person, he was afraid that he would be bitten so hard that not even his bones would remain.

"Do I have a choice?" Hong Ling spread his hands and said shamelessly. He took out two faint yellow ancient scrolls from his interspatial ring and threw them towards the tourist. However, at this moment, a fiery light shot out from the originally motionless Flaming Light Ancient Mirror and instantly incinerated the two ancient scrolls.

"That damned Ancient Flaming Mirror, how dare it resist my Artifact Spirit!" Lu You stared blankly at the two ancient scrolls turning into ashes with a flustered and exasperated look on his face.

Hong Ling looked at the broken Flaming Light Ancient Mirror and then looked at Lu You, who was currently flustered and exasperated, and a tinge of joy flashed across his heart. Could it be that the spirit in the mirror hasn't completely dissipated? Because of this sudden change, no one could react. Even High Priest Mo You and Holy Maiden Mo Yue were inexplicably shocked. They had always thought that this Sorcerer was actually the god who had led them to the revival of their Witch Clan. However, he was actually the vengeful spirit of a golden-winged great roc. This caused their minds to waver.

In this world, Human Clan held a very strong sense of belonging to this race, but they were very against foreign races. Even for an underworld clan like Witch Clan, they were no exception. However, the Sorcerer that they were worshipping right now was actually a Golden-winged Roc, which made Mo You and Mo Yue feel a little aghast.
