All Heavenly destiny reduced to ashes-Chapter 783 - 117: Alas, Subdue Evil, Alas

An Jing actually believes that perfection doesn’t exist.

How could perfection possibly exist in this world? Every self of the next second is stronger than the current self. The future self, with broader knowledge, facing some problems, will be able to find even better answers than the ones that the current self can offer.

As long as time progresses and wisdom accumulates, as long as power is refined and steadily amassed, the current self will never be considered perfect.

However.

An Jing believes that, although perfection might not exist, the pursuit of perfection is, in itself, a perfect state.

Just like the current self.

The current An Jing has abandoned all fixed concepts from his past life, blending wisdom from two realms or even multiple realms to enhance his Martial Arts cultivation. He learns from Subdue Evil, Mingguang Dust, Chenyinzi, and the Heavenly Dao, learns from his companions like Nian Quan, Cang Linzu, Huo Qing, and others — even his enemies are no exception. Anyone that stands against him becomes nourishment for his growth.

Relentlessly striving, seeking wisdom like thirst — this is his Dao, his path.

At the same time, his Dao Heart becomes ever firmer: "Damn this dogshit world, watch me become strong enough to smash this heaven and earth into pieces."

With cultivation growing daily and Dao Heart becoming increasingly solid, An Jing knows that he hasn’t yet achieved his perfect state. For instance, his Seven Luminaries Heavenly Destiny and Dao Becoming Flesh are still unaccomplished. Yet without a doubt, he is heading towards that goal — even the Haotian Mirror, what could it teach him?

Not as much as Subdue Evil!

Indeed, this is true.

The main body of the Haotian Mirror Fragment is not the Void Divine Mirror in front of An Jing, but rather an essence of the Great Dao reflecting all things in the deepest part of the Great Void.

It cannot arbitrarily deduce An Jing’s "perfect future" — not even the Heavenly Dao can, because the Heavenly Dao itself is just a part of a cosmos, a Heavenly Dao of one great world. An Jing, able to traverse multiple realms, still possesses multi-realm Heavenly Mandates, how could it possibly predict him?

All it can do is [reflect].

If one wants to become a stronger version of themselves, they can only rely on their own heart to make that determination.

However, despite saying this, An Jing actually has a few questions he wants to ask the Haotian Mirror Fragment.

"Divine Mirror Lord, can you see my Fate Pattern?"

[!]

Light flows in the mirror, flashing with difficulty before finally condensing into a seven-star shape. The light radiates with a rainbow-colored flame, incredibly splendid and noble at a glance.

An Jing nodded knowingly. As expected, the Heavenly Mandate cannot be hidden. Last time, that Jinyuan Sky Swordsman from Shangxuan Sect possessed an artifact capable of discerning his Heavenly Mandate, although that artifact should be quite valuable, relics of Lingxiao Fragment level would certainly be able to see his Heavenly Mandate.

"Can you perceive my inheritance?"

[!]

This task is harder; the Void Divine Mirror rotates for a moment, its colors converging into platinum, then it tries to condense into the Seven Luminaries colors, ultimately stabilizing at Taibai Luminous Godly Ban.

An Jing continued to nod. As he thought, the Haotian Mirror itself is not omniscient and omnipotent, and even less so its fragments. At most, it knows cultivation techniques like Taibai Luminous Godly Ban, which are broadly recognized Five Emperors Skills, beyond that, it knows little more.

With that settled, onwards with the questions.

"Divine Mirror Lord, can you teach me the content of the ’Taibai Luminous Godly Ban Reversion Chapter’?"

[...]

The mirror trembled for a moment, then calmed down.

"Seems like it’s not possible... Can you tell me how to enhance my Heavenly Destiny?"

[...]

The mirror twisted a bit, seeming to respond slightly, but eventually went calm.

"Divine Mirror Lord, I’m not trying to make things difficult for you, can you help me glimpse my new path after achieving Seven Luminaries Divine Abnormality Perfection and Dao Becoming Flesh?"

[...]

The mirror shivered violently, as if trying to coalesce a vague form of a Primordial Person, but ultimately failed and dissipated regrettably.

"Alas, looks like none of it is feasible... Can you then guide me on how to gather Subdue Evil, and reforge the Heavenly Sword?"

[Subdue Evil!]

Unlike before, as if a big red activation button had been pressed, in an instant before An Jing could react, the heavens suddenly transformed!

Bright Mirror Sect, Bright Mirror Mountain, as Chenyinzi wondered why An Jing hadn’t emerged yet and as Ming Heguang arrived at Bright Mirror Sect.

Near sunset, vast dark clouds, resembling ink spilling and spreading, suddenly extended across the gray-blue heavenly dome. These clouds were ominous, their nature like lead and mercury, wild winds surged, heavenly light darted, creating multiple shadows of all things for everyone, as the earth shook like a dragon turning over!

A massive, resplendent mirror materialized from the void, tearing the Great Void, ripping open an appalling crack tens of thousands of miles long at Bright Mirror Sect’s pinnacle. In this crack, the mirror light beamed like daylight, resembling an eye of the Heavenly God with the void as its pupil and the Great Sun as its iris, sweeping across the ten directions, illuminating the Netherworld!

In the Netherworld, a small team of Taiming Sect martial artists planning some secret endeavor was instantly turned to ash by the mirror light of the Haotian Mirror.

Taiming Sect, several True Lords abruptly opened their eyes, uncertain and rose to look towards Bright Mirror Sect.

"What, what’s happening?"

"Is Bright Mirror Sect declaring war on us?"

"Are they attacking us? Proactively striking, dragging us down while they still have strength left?"

"Wouldn’t that benefit Huangyang Sect and Da Chen? No way, quickly summon the Three-Life Divine Mirror!"

While Taiming Sect was facing this imminent threat, Bright Mirror Sect was equally bewildered.

"What’s going on?!"

Not just Ming Heguang, even Chenyinzi and other Bright Mirror Sect True Lords were dumbfounded — they knew An Jing had gone to visit the true foundation of Bright Mirror Sect, the Haotian Mirror, but they couldn’t understand why this anomaly occurred.

Not even An Jing knew!

No, he knew.

Alas, Subdue Evil, alas.

"Subdue Evil! What did you do! Why is everywhere you go filled with your enemies!"

"I don’t know!"

Subdue Evil was equally perplexed: "I don’t remember ever shattering a mirror — no, the Haotian Mirror definitely wasn’t broken by me, it’s nothing to do with me, I’m innocent!"

"You might be innocent, but are other Subdue Evil innocent?"

An Jing speculated differently. The Subdue Evil with him might not relate to the intense reaction of the Haotian Mirror, but other Subdue Evil might!

The current issue isn’t that, though—it’s how to calm the Haotian Mirror!

Moreover, An Jing noticed something.

Despite him mentioning Subdue Evil and being the one carrying it, the Haotian Mirror wasn’t targeting him—instead, it seemed to react to hearing about a highly confidential matter, instinctively attempting to eliminate all potential ’outsiders’ aware of the issue.

Strangely enough, as the storm’s center, An Jing was shielded by the fragment’s power, drawn to the core of Bright Mirror Sect’s Cave Heaven!

In that case... An Jing decided to take a gamble.

"Subdue Evil, do you dare gamble?"

Subdue Evil also seemed to realize something. After pondering briefly, it replied, "Try! If the Haotian Mirror were complete, it would certainly hinder me, but since it’s only a fragment now, we can definitely escape if needed!"

"Alright, let’s give it a try!"

Man and sword united, An Jing took out the hilt of Subdue Evil from his Divine Sea, along with the repaired blade and tip.

A silver, pristine longsword appeared before the Haotian Mirror.

At that moment.

The monitor light sweeping the ten directions halted.

The torn Great Void contracted, the brilliant eye closed its iris, the mirror’s radiance recoiled back into the Cave Heaven.

Finally, with its true will, it gazed at An Jing.

Gazed at ’Subdue Evil’.

[Why have you returned...]

An androgynous, clear, ethereal voice echoed, filled with profound confusion: [Why have you come back... Subdue Evil ... you shouldn’t have come back]

"Do you recognize me, Haotian Mirror!"

Subdue Evil detached from An Jing’s hand, the shattered sword facing the mirror fragment in the deepest part of Great Void Dongtian, urgently asked: "Do you know which Subdue Evil I am? Do you know my past?!"

"Why shouldn’t I return, why did I come back... Haotian Mirror, can you tell me everything you know?!"
