I, a prison guard in the Heavenly Prison, secretly became invincible thanks to the system.

Chapter 966 The Blood Cauldron of the Desolate Dragon, The Mystery of the Fierce Steed

Yes, it's like a mirror image, everything is exactly the same as the outside world, but it's all upside down, with the sky below and the earth above.

Ye Kang thought he had been turned upside down and tried to twist his body, but he was surprised to find that no matter how he moved his body, his perspective did not change.

No matter which direction you look at it from, it's always upside down.

This extremely surprising situation made him feel a chill run down his spine.

So weird.

And there is another difference: in this upside-down world, there is no Fierce Jun tribe; there are only upside-down grasslands and lakes.

Ye Kang leaned closer and looked up at the lake above. The water was right on his nose, but it wouldn't fall in. There were reflections in the lake. Ye Kang tried to move, and there was no misalignment at all; it looked perfectly normal.

He landed at a sufficient distance, looked up and took in the entire lake. At this moment, the clouds moved, and the reflections moved with them, so there was no longer any sense of dislocation.

"This is normal now, which means this is the normal representation of a reflection..."

Ye Kang's eyes lit up, and he suddenly had a bold guess.

"Could it be that the existence of this world of reflections blocks the view of the real world, forcing all the reflections of the real world to appear here first, and then be transmitted to reality through here, so that all the reflections of the real world are a step behind?"

"It's not because of a ghost, but because a middleman made a profit!"

Ye Kang's eyes widened, and he revealed the secret in one sentence.

But the system didn't react at all, and Ye Kang frowned again.

"Is it because I guessed wrong? Or is it that I haven't uncovered the real secret?"

The mission was called "The Mystery of the Fierce Steed" instead of "The Mystery of the Reflection," so Ye Kang wasn't disappointed and instead looked up at the grassland above.

Everything here is the same as the outside world, except that there are no people. The aquatic plants are still lush and the lakes are still everywhere.

But why?

Why insist on cramming a reflection world here?

Ye Kang didn't believe that this was a true meaning that had been born out of thin air, just like the Phantom Forest of the Night Maiden Clan. Although the true meaning of speed there had become a blessed land, Ye Kang didn't think it was innate. It was more likely that it was left behind by some powerful person by accident.

Because true intent can only be formed by martial artists, and martial artists need to rely on true intent to communicate with the true traces of the Dao in order for this product to appear. Martial artists are the cause, and true intent is the effect.

Then it should be the same here.

"To create such a mirrored world between heaven and earth, yet without any harmful power, is clearly not a trap. The only possibility is that something is being hidden there."

Ye Kang's heart stirred, and he immediately activated his primordial spirit with all his might, covering the surroundings with his divine sense and bringing everything into his perception range.

He quickly detected a surging aura.

It was in a lake, deep at the bottom, beneath the silt, and it sounded like a heart was beating violently.

"Got you."

Ye Kang smirked and immediately plunged into the lake, heading straight to the bottom. He used earth magic to enter the silt, and beneath layers of mud, a corner of a large cauldron covered in blood-red patterns was revealed.

"This is! The Desolate Dragon Blood Cauldron!"

Ye Kang's heart trembled violently. Then, the Blood Cauldron seemed to sense the presence of a living person and instantly released countless amounts of blood energy, attempting to pull Ye Kang inside.

However, Ye Kang is now a strong person with a stable Yang Realm, so he naturally cannot be absorbed by the ownerless cauldron. He roused his true energy and blocked the pressure of the cauldron.

At this moment, streams of blood energy surged forth, gradually coalescing into a single voice.

"You're not from Leizhou? How did you find this place?"

It was an extremely domineering male voice, like that of a king looking down on the world, despising everything.

Even though Ye Kang's cultivation level was not low, he was still startled.

"You are... Emperor Wu?"

"It is I. You are not male, and you come from which broken land? Why have you infiltrated my lineage?"

Ye Kang opened his mouth slightly, his eyes showing astonishment.

Are you kidding me? How did this guy see through my secret so quickly?

Is it possible to tell from incomplete positive results at a glance?

Wait a minute, wasn't Emperor Wu already dead?

Ye Kang's heart trembled violently, but on the surface he still respectfully replied, "Although I am not from Leizhou, I am already a Demon Suppression General of the Martial Dynasty, and I have long regarded myself as a true member of the Martial Dynasty. This place is also where I received the inheritance from your... corpse..."

Ye Kang felt something was off; it was really strange to talk about his corpse in front of others.

However, Emperor Wu's voice showed no doubt. He simply said, "I see. Since you have received my inheritance, it means you are no ordinary person. There is no need to be nervous. I am just a wisp of soul. I only have the power of Emperor Huai to maintain my strength. My purpose is only to protect this place and maintain the stability of this mirror world. Since you have come, take the Desolate Dragon Blood Cauldron."

Emperor Wu's voice sounded very carefree, as if he didn't care at all how his physical body had died.

Ye Kang asked doubtfully, "May I ask, senior, may I take the Desolate Dragon Blood Cauldron?"

"Of course, it's just an inanimate object. You can do with it as you please. But I must remind you, although the bloodline of the ancient race was very powerful, the ancient race was eventually wiped out, with not a single one left. If the ancient race was like this, what can we do with their bloodline?"

"what do you mean……"

"The bloodline of the ancient race is not omnipotent, and may even bring you death, but it does increase your strength in a real way. You can decide for yourself which is more important. Oh, by the way, I also put a precious pearl inside to maintain the Desolate Dragon Blood Cauldron. Take it with you."

After saying that, the voice disappeared, and Ye Kang finally understood everything.

It turns out that this reflected world was the work of Emperor Wu, with the purpose of protecting the Desolate Dragon Blood Cauldron.

No wonder we can't find anything outside. Who would have thought there was a mirror world here?

And the precious pearl that Emperor Wu mentioned, is it even a question? It must be the Fire-Stabilizing Pearl!

This thing does exist, but it was put into the Desolate Dragon Blood Cauldron by Emperor Wu long ago.

Ye Kang understood this crucial point, and then the system notification sounded.

【Ding】

[Congratulations, host, on completing the mission: The Mystery of the Fierce Steed]

[Host receives the following rewards: 6000000 Comprehension Points, 1 chance to evolve a supernatural ability]

Upon receiving the reward, Ye Kang was overjoyed and immediately moved the Desolate Dragon Blood Cauldron into the Ink Jade Realm.

At this moment, the mirror world began to collapse, revealing countless spatial rifts.

Ye Kang seized the opportunity and slipped out from the direction he had come from.

As space completely collapsed, the mirror world vanished.

In the real world, the people of the Liejun tribe suddenly felt the sky shake.

They looked up blankly, only to see Ye Kang appear in the air, and nothing else changed.

The carp god looked at its reflection in the lake and exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, the reflection is fixed!"
