Chapter 996: Chapter 264 Ancient Treasure Mirror (2200)

The ripples arising from the Ancient Immortal Ruins and the Void Star Dust Dragon are spreading throughout the Tianyuan Realm.

The four major groups, the Guiyi Army, the Pure Land People, the Demon Spirits, and the external Demon Men, along with the Wilderness Monstrous Evils... all forces, powerful beings, have cast their gaze upon this.

Before taking formal actions, each has their own chess pieces to arrange in advance, preparing for the real conflict to come.

Previously, An Jing could only hide under the Luofu Group and Xuanye City, appearing as a mere pawn. But now, with the Old Ancestor and the Candle Dragon Battle Armor by his side, he can undoubtedly be called a chess player.

The only regret is that An Jing’s foundation in this realm is still too shallow, even with ample confidence, it’s unlike in Embracing the Void, where he has the Children of Calamity as close allies and the entire Bright Mirror Sect as his subordinates and backup.

Huo Qing and Nian Quan have separate tasks and are currently under close surveillance, unable to act freely, while Steel Skeleton and Qu Tong have already taken charge of one aspect. Given this, if An Jing wishes to explore the secrets beyond the Initial Cave, he must think of other ways.

In any case, he now holds Divine Intention in hand, with the Old Ancestor by his side, finding a fortunate friend to help in exploration is not difficult.

Safe zone, Chonggang Town.

Soothing guzheng music played from speakers, and screens on both sides displayed news broadcasts as the Peace Grocery Store welcomed a young visitor.

[.....The abandoned fortress exploration point in Tianju has revealed a Purple Mansion Level Kun Demon, with casualties exceeding 2,300, making it the deadliest incident since the ’Smoke Torch Gathering Place’ relic puppet attack... The Conscript Bureau has dispatched three True Persons to the disaster site.....]

Upon seeing this news, Ye Yunsheng was preparing to purchase some talismans and Fasting Pills from Peace Grocery Store, which he had run out of during his last exploration.

As an independent adventurer, he always made thorough preparations for each action, primarily using the Spirit Qi of the Ancient Immortal Ruins to cultivate and consolidate his Foundation Establishment Realm. Even during exploration, he only lingered at the edges of unknown areas, never venturing too deep,.

However, this time, he planned to delve a bit deeper. View the correct content at om

Thanks to the Ancient Immortal Ruins, many cultivators at the Peak of Qi Refining in Xuanye City and even in the Four Great Spiritual Vein Cities had the opportunity to break through to Foundation Establishment, though less than one in ten succeeded. The number of Peak of Qi Refining cultivators prior to that? The official count might not even know.

Ye Yunsheng had once been a teacher in a dark cultivation training industry. His niche in this field was quite low-end: producing illegal pirated cultivation technique jade slips and crudely manufactured Art of Magic chips, which quickly taught students who had no time for cultivation techniques, allowing them to save time and focus more on cultivation, and equip them for practical skill exams.

This line of work was profitable, but it required considerable Soul and Spirit and formation techniques. The practitioner’s ability to operate with precision was also crucial; otherwise, there was a chance of turning a student into a fool. Though treatable, it would cost a huge sum of money, not to mention ruin one’s reputation.

Though Ye Yunsheng never made a mistake, over a decade, several of his colleagues gradually ruined their reputations, landing them in jail. One even failed in indoctrination and was caught by the victim’s parents, transformed into a ghost cultivator, and forced to sign a contract, becoming a contract slave chip for fifteen years before gaining freedom.

Seeing this, Ye Yunsheng realized that if he still had any sense, the wisest choice was to withdraw while ahead—he had amassed considerable wealth and it was time to find a way to buy some high-quality Pure Spirit Stones to attempt Foundation Establishment.

In fact, everyone had money for Spirit Stones. The issue lay in how to purchase them, and even when obtained, success in breakthrough wasn’t guaranteed. Unlike advancing to high-level Qi Refining, breaking through to Foundation Establishment required around ten ordinary Spirit Stones, which cost upwards of 200,000 to 300,000 Good Deeds, with higher-quality ones offering a better success rate but at greater expense!

Fortunately, while Ye Yunsheng pondered whether to risk all his savings on expensive Spirit Stones, the passageway to the Ancient Immortal Ruins opened.

Furthermore, he found a channel for Spirit Stones!

The pure Spirit Qi from the Ancient Immortal Ruins could greatly reduce Spirit Stone expenditure, and this channel was none other than the ’Peace Grocery Store’!

Back then, Ye Yunsheng was just an ordinary customer buying adventure supplies in Chonggang Town. After acquiring all his gear, a clerk, noting his intent to enter the ruins, covertly asked, "Need a Foundation Establishment special Spirit Gathering Array? Guaranteed breakthrough!"

Foundation Establishment special Spirit Gathering Array.

Saying such is laughable. If breaking through Foundation Establishment was as easy as buying a Spirit Gathering Array, then Xuanye City wouldn’t just have everyone at Foundation Establishment, at least 30% would be!

Ye Yunsheng initially thought this a scam and paid no mind, but his curiosity or some instinct led him to ask for a demonstration of the Spirit Gathering Array package.

Then, he saw it — ten high-quality Spirit Stones arranged neatly in a Jade Box, stored in the formation of a Spirit Gathering Array!

"We only sell you the Spirit Gathering Array; don’t misunderstand."

The clerk spoke mysteriously, muttering something else, but Ye Yunsheng wasn’t listening: "Now, you damn well take my money and get me a second set!"

Though scolded, the clerk didn’t mind, and Ye Yunsheng promptly took his two ’Foundation Establishment Guaranteed Breakthrough Spirit Gathering Arrays’ to the Ancient Immortal Ruins. After a month and a half in seclusion in a secluded spot, he successfully broke through to Foundation Establishment! Correct content is on

Becoming Foundation Establishment is considerable—despite the recent surge in Foundation Establishment numbers, it’s still rare, and Ye Yunsheng’s ambition grew.

Having exhausted his savings on the Spirit Gathering Array package, he planned not just to cultivate in the Ancient Immortal Ruins but also to explore some regions on his own, seeking more resources.

"The owner behind Peace Grocery Store... certainly extraordinary!"

Having obtained breakthrough resources here, with the store selling forbidden items not being sealed by the Sky Surveillance Bureau and even thriving, Ye Yunsheng knew he mustn’t overlook this place if he wished to advance further.

Thus, each time he needed supplies, he’d return to stock up and subtly ask the clerks if they had any good items like before.

Sometimes, they’d offer rare Spiritual Material Amulets or special Magic Artifacts, although these weren’t as beneficial as the Foundation Establishment package. More often, the clerks would shake their heads: "Not much stock, brother. I only say this because you used our package for Foundation Establishment... Come back later."

This time, Ye Yunsheng followed routine, inquiring quietly after purchasing and paying.

Expecting the new, unfamiliar clerk to brush him off with "nothing available," he was surprised.

"We have it, brother, we have it."

Saying so, he led Ye Yunsheng to a back room, presenting a Divine Abnormality Magic Artifact.

It was a mirror.

A mirror capable of identifying magic artifacts and treasures, pointing towards the objective—the ’Ancient Treasure Mirror’!
