Martial Peak

Chapter 2236, Sword from the West

“The birth of Artifact Spirits has much more to do with fate and coincidence than with the grade of the artifact itself. Of course, some say that the higher the grade of the artifact, the higher the chance of an Artifact Spirit emerging from it. Perhaps it is true; after all, it takes a long time for an Artifact Spirit to appear, possibly even tens of thousands of years, so if an artifact’s grade is too low, it cannot survive that long…” Yang Kai did not say a word as Grandma You went on, listening intently.

“And, this Divine Ascension Mirror… possesses its own Artifact Spirit!” When she said this, Grandma You stared deeply at Yang Kai.

“Is that the Mirror Soul that you speak of, Granny?” Yang Kai raised a brow.

“Indeed!” Grandma You nodded lightly, “This Queen has been studying the Divine Ascension Mirror for thousands of years since discovering it, but this Queen has never been able to refine it and use it for herself. But once, long ago, I chanced upon the will of this world, the Mirror Soul! Without subduing the Mirror Soul, it is simply impossible to refine this world, but how easy can it be to subdue such an entity? Even this Queen with her Soul Avatar cultivated to this level is unable to achieve such a feat. Forcibly collecting this Mirror Soul will only destroy my own Soul since the strength of the Mirror Soul… is something that even a Great Emperor level cultivator might not be able to accommodate.”

Yang Kai couldn’t help but feel roused and said, surprised, “So, you thought of using something else to carry the will of this world?”

Grandma You coldly snorted, “Is there any other way? But the requirements for this idea are also too harsh. Just how many divine objects are able to achieve this?” Speaking up to here, she suddenly gazed hotly at Yang Kai and said, “The Soul Warming Lotus you possess, however, is one such item.”

“So, that’s how it is!” Yang Kai nodded his head, enlightened.

“As long as this Queen can obtain the Soul Warming Lotus, this Queen will be able to use it as a carrier for this precious treasure. Together with the Mirror Soul of this Divine Ascension Mirror, this Queen can completely refine this world, and when that time comes, this Queen’s Soul will be able to soar up to the level of a Great Emperor. As for a petty little Wen Zi Shan…” She grinned from ear to ear and shrieked, “He would be worth nothing!”

“Grandma You, you have… quite a deep resentment towards Temple Master Wen,” Yang Kai said, exasperated.

“Don’t mention that bastard to me!” Grandma You suddenly burst out into a rage, “If it weren’t for him, this Queen would have been able to study this Divine Ascension Mirror quietly, and then this divine treasure would be mine in the end! But eight hundred years ago, he suddenly came to Azure Sun Mountain Range, beat this Queen, then demanded I hand over this treasure! This Queen couldn’t stand it!”

“Is that so…” Yang Kai said casually.

Grandma You glanced at him, gradually restraining the fury on her face. Her tone also began to soften as she said, “Boy, this Queen has told you everything you need to know, so the time has come for you to pass the Soul Warming Lotus to this Queen. Rest assured, this Queen only wishes to deal with Wen Zi Shan. After this wish is fulfilled, you may do whatever you wish.”

“Many thanks, Grandma You,” Yang Kai smirked before saying, “But this… is quite a difficult situation.”

Grandma You’s face turned cold as she watched Yang Kai grimly, gloomily snapping, “You mean to go back on your word, boy?”

“No no no…” Yang Kai denied immediately, “Only, even if I agree to this… Temple Master Wen would not. Isn’t that right, Temple Master Wen!”

At the last sentence, he suddenly turned his eyes towards a certain spot in the corner.

“What?” When Grandma You heard this, her face changed and shouted while looking around her, “Wen Zi Shan is here?”

She was like a mouse that had seen a cat, seemingly terrified of meeting Wen Zi Shan.

But in the next instant, she realized she had fallen for Yang Kai’s trick. There was no Wen Zi Shan standing anywhere and instead, Yang Kai had darted out while she was caught in a moment of panic.
