Destiny is ashes

Chapter 979 Unusual Movements from All Sides, Ancestor's Support
Although the Scale Realm is isolated from all outside observation, the Four Seasons Dragon God is ultimately the master of the Ancestral Dragon Palace. Having controlled the Ancestral Dragon Scale for hundreds of thousands of years, he has his own methods to perceive the interior.

Not to mention, the otherworldly power of the Great Wilderness Realm has also opened a gap, and they can see some fragments of time, to say the least.

[Truly worthy of being the chosen one of this era; such splendor is truly unbelievable.]

The ancient dragon god sighed, although he hadn't seen it clearly, he had sensed how easily An Jing had dealt with the three alien dragons.

The voice of the Pure Wind Celestial Venerable from the Longevity Sect also rang out: "If it weren't for the provocation of those otherworldly dragons, I don't think the Natural Master would have insisted on killing them. He would have certainly spared them, educated them, and won them over with virtue... Unfortunately, these barbaric dragons from otherworldly realms are ignorant of morality, unlearnable, and utterly unruly. In the end, they could only turn to ashes."

Although the other celestial beings did not speak, they all clearly saw some of the fragments.

From their perspective, when An Jing clashed with the aura of the Golden Sun, the other party yielded and was subdued. However, when the dragon from the other world clashed with An Jing, it refused to yield and knelt down, resulting in its aura being directly erased from the Zhaolin Realm.

Its speed was so fast that even the Celestial Venerable found it somewhat unbelievable.

—How on earth did he do that? Could it be... that An Jing had been hiding his strength in Tianhai Longting before? That can't be right, he was already outrageously strong, how could he be even stronger?

In an instant, the Celestial Venerables of various forces also secretly conveyed their highest orders to their own people who entered the Radiant Scale Realm.

"Remember, An Jing is the biggest variable. If there's an opportunity, cooperate with him; if you become enemies, you must use swift and decisive measures!"

"I'm allowing you to form an alliance with... but Anjing is probably not a place where you alone can defeat it!"

"Go all out and seize every opportunity. If you encounter peace, you are allowed to retreat."

The undercurrents in the entire Zhaolin Realm began to accelerate because of An Jing's presence.

Meanwhile, hidden in the shadows, an unnamed celestial being was also making secret contacts.

Within the realm of illumination.

On the body of Dapeng.

An Jing was having an exciting conversation with You Ruhui about the details of the new Cave Heaven Technique that You Ruhui had just comprehended when suddenly a bolt of lightning flashed before his eyes.

"Which Celestial Venerable?"

He looked up at the sky, a vague premonition creeping in: "Wait, this feeling..."

Pure, clear, like a mirror, reflecting one's own heart...

The voice rang out, "It's me," but it was somewhat muffled.

"Ancestor Haotian Mirror!"

Upon hearing the voice, An Jing immediately understood and felt somewhat gratified: "As expected, you were among the seventeen Celestial Venerables just now... Were you here for me?"

[This is obvious, but who could have known that your evasion of the Great Chen's Heavenly Sea Formation would lead to a confrontation between more than a dozen Celestial Venerables?]

Haotian Mirror's tone was somewhat frustrated, which was not surprising. Not long ago, he was still confronting the Four Saints of Tianyuan, the Nine Great Saints of Tianmo, and the Holy Demon in Tianyuan Realm. Although the Nine Great Saints were somewhat overrated, the Four Saints of Tianyuan and the Holy Demon were all beings that he dared not claim victory over. It was an absolutely high-level contest.

Such high-level battles are rarely fought, even in Huai Xu, and are seen only once every few thousand years. Who knew that as soon as An Jing arrived at Tianhai Dragon Court, such a scene would immediately occur again: [They really can't stay idle. The Four Seasons Dragon Gods, including my seventeen Heavenly Venerables, add up to twenty-one Heavenly Venerables in combat power. Add Jing Feng's Pure Bottle, Hui Xing's Inscription Brush, and the Sword Madman's lover, along with three Lingxiao Emperor Weapons, and there are actually twenty-four Heavenly Venerables in combat power.]

If a real fight breaks out, An Jing, I really can't protect you. Even if I bring over the Heaven-Burning Divine Weapons from the Northern Heaven Cave, it probably won't be of much use.

—Of course, those twenty-odd Celestial Venerables are nothing more than Heavenly Burning Divine Soldiers; they can easily push them back!

"Ancestor, so what's the situation outside?" An Jing asked curiously, while Haotian Mirror replied regretfully, "[I don't understand either. Everyone seems to be waiting for something, as if they already knew, except for me.]"

Although I did only wake up before the New Year, I shouldn't be this confused, right? I don't understand Huai Xu anymore either.

[But it doesn't matter, An Jing. Just now, all the Celestial Venerables noticed your performance. You did very well.]

At this point, the Ancestor Haotian Mirror solemnly warned: "But precisely because of this, you have become the focus of attention for all forces—whether it's those within our Huaixu Realm or those in the Great Wilderness Realm, they will all regard you as their greatest adversary."

I've noticed that all parties have been prepared and have their own methods to bless those younger generations.

【I can do that too. If necessary, Anjing, I can give you a blessing.】

An Jing was somewhat pleased. He knew very well that for the Haotian Mirror to overcome the unprecedentedly powerful barrier of the Zhaolin Realm and empower itself, it would definitely require an extremely large amount of power.

This kindness and expectation would be an insurmountable mountain for others, but for An Jing, it was nothing more than a gentle breeze of joy. So he simply smiled and declined, saying, "No need, Ancestor, let them come."

He raised his hand, watching it clench into a fist and then unfold into a palm, feeling only a sense of ease, joy, and anticipation: "Let them...give me a surprise."

"After all... if I can't be invincible in this world, then who can?"

Haotian Mirror remained silent.

He cannot say 'arrogance'.

He cannot be called 'arrogant'.

He couldn't even get Anjing to be 'humble'.

Because he had experienced the Nirvana War and the Holy Demon War, Haotian Mirror believed more than anyone else that An Jing was the true invincible of this generation.

In His memory, the phantoms of the invincible Heavenly Emperors of all ages rotated, but if one were to say who was similar to An Jing... there was none.

【Could it be that……】

He thought to himself: "Is it this time, our Huaixu, that a new Celestial Emperor will emerge?"

But before the lingering feeling of this sentiment could fade, it was broken by An Jing's words.

"I have a feeling that I am about to break through to the Divine Realm."

【…】

Upon hearing this, Haotian Mirror's will froze for a moment, and then it fell silent.

Yes, He forgot that An Jing's martial arts were still at the peak of the martial vein, and he didn't have the Divine Treasure yet. The Nine Tribulations Ascension to Heaven could break through to the middle or even high level in one go, but it should be about time now, right?
But Haotian Mirror wouldn't rely on its seniority to instruct Anjing on what to do—on the contrary, it completely trusted Anjing's own judgment: "[You decide for yourself... However, since you don't need it, I will use my power to help others.]"

"There are other people?" An Jing asked, somewhat surprised.

He thought that it was just him and You Ruhui on the Mingjing Sect's side.

But then he thought about it again and didn't find it strange at all—so many sects from Huaixu Realm had sent people over just now, and Mingjing Sect had also sent a few, so it was really nothing out of the ordinary.

“Alright.” An Jing said nonchalantly, “Then please go and take care of that side, Ancestor. I don’t need it here at all.”

Haha, I thought so too... but you'll probably need this little bit of help.

The sound of Haotian Mirror faded into the distance, and An Jing, sensing something, also noticed that several mirrors had appeared in his mind.

The mirrors can communicate, send messages, locate each other, and even reflect each other, just like a video call. This is clearly a legacy of the power of the Haotian Mirror Ancestor—it is obviously meant for teammates to communicate.

This is exactly what stability needs!

"Thank you so much, Ancestor!"

An Jing smiled and turned around, his spirit returning to the roc.

"Here you go, Ru Hui. You can use it to locate and contact each other."

He turned his head and handed a mirror to You Ruhui. You Ruhui closed his eyes and accepted it for a moment, then smiled and nodded, saying, "As expected of the Haotian Mirror Ancestor, with the Emperor's Blood, our communication will be much smoother."

"Yes."

An Jing also laughed and said, "In the future, Ye Qi, Qing Han, and I can communicate more often, instead of always relying on the resonance of our destiny stars, or even being unable to speak to each other."

"Sigh, why didn't I think of that? I should have asked the ancestor for a blessing long ago."

Upon hearing An Jing's words, You Ruhui's smile calmed down. After a while, she pointed downwards and said, "Ah, it's right there."

At the edge of the desolate desert, on the edge of the Gobi, lies the skeleton of a dragon-man.

"Here we are."
