I was just making up techniques… how did all of you become Emperors? Chapter 647 647 Heaven Watching Mirror

As time marched on across the Hongyuan Continent, the conflicts between the three races intensified more and more.

At the start, the three races simply grabbed lands on their own, but soon it turned into brutal clashes as they battled over control of those territories.

For a period, war flames blazed everywhere on the Hongyuan Continent. In order to endure, the various clans had little option but to side with one of the three races, serving as their subordinates and launching attacks against each other.

With Demon Gods from each of the three factions dropping one after another in combat, the mighty trio—the Dragon Ancestor, Phoenix Ancestor, and Qilin Ancestor—finally stepped into the fight and collided head-on.

The moment these three ancestors unleashed their power, the whole Hongyuan Continent shook violently, as if the sky was crumbling and the ground was tearing apart.

Even Chu Feng, located far off in the Wendao Sect, could sense the lingering force from the ancestors' confrontation. He mused inwardly: These three guys aren't as formidable as the tales suggest; if I stepped in, I'd definitely overpower them even from a lower cultivation level.

After feeling the might of the three ancestors, Lu Ming, Chu Yan, and Xian He—the three young disciples—rushed straight to Chu Feng. They bowed deeply with respect and declared: "We pay respects to Master."

"Why are you three seeking me out instead of focusing on your cultivation?"

Gazing at the shaky demeanor of his three pupils, Chu Feng had a sudden urge to discipline them. As his students, they were actually quaking from the leftover power of someone else's clash; if word got out, wouldn't it utterly tarnish Chu Feng's reputation?

Chu Yan spoke up: "Father, those three ancestors won't battle their way over here, right?"

"And if they do charge here? Haven't I already assured you that I could handle and suppress them even if they show up?"

While Chu Feng said this, his expression abruptly turned stern.

Chu Yan quickly clarified: "Father, you did mention that, but I'm concerned that without any action from us, once the three ancestors wrap up their fight, more than half the creatures on the entire Hongyuan Continent might perish. Then our Wendao Sect wouldn't be able to take in new disciples and expand."

Chu Feng inquired curiously: "So you're truly not scared, little one, but just fretting over disciple recruitment?"

"Yes, definitely."

Chu Yan wouldn't admit to being afraid.

Chu Feng grinned and replied: "Your point holds some merit, but the Wendao Sect has always selected only geniuses. If someone can't endure the chaos of this era, they hardly qualify as a genius. Maybe after the massive war concludes, our Wendao Sect can flourish anew."

"Father, that makes sense; I was overthinking it."

Chu Yan responded with a grin.

Chu Feng gave the boy an eye roll: "Do you believe I can't see through your thoughts? Alright, I've got a treasure here that lets you survey the world. If you're anxious, you can stay by this treasure daily and witness this epic, earth-shattering conflict."

"Father, do you really hold such a treasure?"

Chu Yan stared at Chu Feng in sheer surprise and questioned.

"Look at how timid you seem; it's merely a Heaven Watching Mirror, nothing extraordinary."

With those words, Chu Feng flicked his hand, summoning a bronze mirror that stood five feet across and nine feet high right in front of Chu Yan.

This Heaven Watching Mirror was a sacred relic Chu Feng had obtained from the Holy Court; it allowed glimpses into every part of the Hongyuan Continent, ideal for spotting talents.

Yet Chu Feng had favored going with the flow, so he'd never bothered with this mirror before; now, at last, it found a use.

Before departing, he paused as if recalling something and added: "While you're scanning the world, if you spot anything astonishing, make sure to inform me."

"Father, don't worry, I won't overlook even the tiniest thing." Chu Yan thumped his chest confidently.

"No need for all that hassle; just alert me if the three ancestors battle too viciously or get close to our Wendao Sect."

Having said that, Chu Feng departed, leaving the three youngsters there as they directed their eyes to the bronze mirror. Regrettably, the mirror showed nothing at all.

After quite some time, Chu Yan smacked his forehead abruptly and exclaimed: "Oh dear, I completely forgot to ask Father how to operate this bronze mirror!"

Xian He: "..."

Qing Song: "..."

Right at that moment, Ji Jiuwu's voice echoed from afar: "Three junior brothers, what are you staring at?"

Upon hearing the sound, the trio whipped around and chorused: "Senior Brother Ji, you've arrived. Master handed us a mirror that can show the whole Hongyuan Continent, but we can't get this mirror working."

At those words, Ji Jiuwu's face lit up with a grin: "Junior brothers, for treasures from Master, we activate them with spiritual power, of course. Allow me to demonstrate and expand your views first."

"Senior Brother, go ahead."

The three stepped aside promptly.

Ji Jiuwu approached the Heaven Watching Mirror and channeled his spiritual power right away. Soon enough, the views around the Wendao Sect displayed on the Heaven Watching Mirror. With a mental shift, the image jumped to the Long River Tribe within the mirror.

"Senior Brother, you were spot on."

Chu Yan beamed with thrill.

Ji Jiuwu pulled back his spiritual power and explained: "At my level in the third layer of the Spirit Nurturing Realm, I can only power this Heaven Watching Mirror briefly. To keep watching the world, we'll need our fellow disciples to rotate and pour in spiritual power."

"Let me give it a go too."

Chu Yan declared as he promptly infused spiritual power into the Heaven Watching Mirror. In no time, the Water God Tribe's scene filled the mirror. Observing the tribe, he muttered: "Something feels off about the energy here; better to check elsewhere."

Quickly, the Heaven Watching Mirror switched to the Fire God Tribe, then moved on to the Sky Fire Tribe.

"Huh... how come my Sky Fire Tribe shows up in the bronze mirror?"

Jiang Yan's voice abruptly sounded in everyone's ears. Once they heard it, the group hastily filled Jiang Yan in on what was happening.

"Master truly has such an item; now we can keep an eye on our tribe even from these mountains." Jiang Yan whispered after hearing the details.

"Exactly."

Ji Jiuwu added: "Master's power is beyond what we can imagine. Moving forward, why not cultivate near this Heaven Watching Mirror and alternate shifts to monitor the world?"

"Sounds good."

Jiang Yan nodded eagerly; he too had been anxious about his homeland. With the Heaven Watching Mirror available, he could finally relax about home.

In the days that followed, once their morning cultivation sessions ended, the group would gather at the Heaven Watching Mirror to check the overall state of the world.

"The Fire God Tribe got wiped out by the Black Dragon God."

Watching the Fire God perish through the Heaven Watching Mirror, Jiang Yan felt immense relief at becoming Master's disciple. Without that, he'd likely have fallen with his tribe's downfall.

But moments later, his face twisted; the Black Dragon God loomed over the Sky Fire Tribe's skies, and Jiang Yan's expression shifted in alarm.

Noticing this, Ji Jiuwu beside him reassured quickly: "A-Yan, stay calm. Master's divine statue protects us, so the Black Dragon God can't touch the Sky Fire Tribe."

Meanwhile, in the Sky Fire Tribe itself, every human cultivator spotted the Black Dragon God circling overhead with swarms of flood dragons. One after another, they sensed the apocalypse descending.

The Clan Leader and Grand Priest, upon witnessing this, felt their hearts freeze solid. Only days earlier, after hearing of the Fire God Tribe's annihilation, they'd started organizing people for evacuation.

Yet before relocation could begin, the Black Dragon God arrived with his flood dragon horde to surround the Sky Fire Tribe.

The Grand Priest inquired: "Are the young ones in the clan set for evacuation?"

"Arrangements are made, but escaping the dragon races' blockade is uncertain." The Clan Leader replied solemnly.

"No matter what, we'll give it our all and trust fate for the rest. Come on; these old bodies of ours will make one last stand now."

The Grand Priest's words had barely ended when the Black Dragon God's roar boomed from above: "Why don't you scurry out to meet your doom? Must this god strike personally?"

With that, throngs of humans poured from their dwellings, dropping to their knees and kowtowing nonstop: "Dragon God, mercy on our lives, Dragon God, please spare us!"

"Hmph!"

The Black Dragon God sneered: "This god sweeps through all lands, but your puny Sky Fire Tribe alone dared slay the flood dragons serving under me; death is your fate!"

As he finished, a torrent of black flames erupted from his maw, plunging down toward the Sky Fire Tribe.

At this sight, every human below wore masks of terror and dread. The same desperate idea flashed through their heads: it's done for, we're all doomed now!

Right as the black flames neared impact, a beam of celestial glow burst forth. From it emerged a colossal form who, with effortless poise, jabbed a finger skyward at the Black Dragon God and bellowed: "Slash!"

The command rang out, and reality bent to it, unleashing a blade of light from the figure's finger.

The sword beam carved its path, forcing the black flames to withdraw and disperse.

Upon this display, horror etched across the Black Dragon God's features. That presence and that might evoked memories of the three ancestors.

"Impossible, how could a being rivaling the three ancestors appear here..."

Before the Black Dragon God uttered the final words, the sword light speared through his form, extinguishing his divine soul as he tumbled swiftly earthward.

Rumble!

With a thunderous crash, the Black Dragon God's body cratered the ground deeply. In an instant, silence blanketed the area for a hundred miles around...
