The Great Overlord: Simulating the Future, Dominating Speedrunning

Chapter 37: Judgment Realm, the Whereabouts of the Golden Crystal

A few days later,
The main hall of Beicang Spiritual Academy.

Taicang handed Lu Chen a crimson jade bottle and a mustard seed bracelet.

"My friend, inside this jade bottle is the Flowing Fire Heavenly Flame. This thing has an extremely high temperature, and even the most powerful ones dare not touch it lightly. Please use it with caution."

"Inside the mustard seed bracelet is 20,000 Supreme Spirit Liquids as payment to you, my friend."

Lu Chen nodded, took the jade bottle and the mustard seed bracelet, and put the mustard seed bracelet away after just a glance.

When the jade bottle was opened, a sticky liquid was revealed inside, as red as blood, like flowing lava. It had a restrained luster and was crystal clear. It looked inconspicuous, but the temperature it emitted was terrifying.

Just by taking a look, Lu Chen felt a palpitation in his heart. Obviously, this thing was not as simple as it seemed.

"As for the Mirror of Judgment, I have already discussed it with those people. You can borrow it at any time."

Dean Taicang said with a smile.

"Then now."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen spoke impatiently.

Dean Taicang was not surprised by Lu Chen's urgency. He smiled and nodded. Then he waved his hand, and a space crack was torn in the void in front of him, and then he stepped in.

"follow me."

Lu Chen nodded and followed immediately.

When Lu Chen stepped into the space crack, his eyes suddenly changed. It seemed to be a small space. The space was not big, just a chaos.

At this moment, a huge ancient bronze mirror thousands of feet long was quietly suspended in this space. The area around the bronze mirror was covered with extremely mysterious inscriptions, which were ancient and obscure.

The mirror surface appeared gray, as if covered by dust and could not be seen through, but it gave people a magical feeling as if it could illuminate the world.

Mirror of Judgment!

There is a stone staircase in the space, extending all the way to the ancient bronze mirror. Dean Taicang brought Lu Chen here and handed a bronze seal to Lu Chen.

"If you activate this, you will be able to use the Mirror of Judgment. However, your authority is limited. You can only use it to find objects and people, and cannot use it to attack."

Lu Chen took the bronze seal and nodded.

Then he held the copper seal in his hand and poured spiritual power into it.

A faint ray of light shot out from his hand and finally shot directly into the gray surface of the Mirror of Judgment.

Buzz!

Tiny ripples spread out on the mirror surface, and then the Mirror of Judgment gradually became clearer, but the mirror surface seemed extremely deep, like the night sky, revealing a sense of mystery.

When Lu Chen saw this scene, he took a deep breath, spread out his palm, and a red scroll with a pattern of the Great Sun Golden Crystal floated in front of the Mirror of Judgment.

Buzz!

The mirror surface was fluctuating, and suddenly there were wisps of light flowing, and finally these streams of light turned directly into a ray of light and shot out, covering the red scroll.

Then, enveloped by the light, the Mirror of Judgment began to vibrate violently. Violent ripples appeared on the mirror surface, and blurry images began to appear on the dark mirror surface.

Lu Chen's expression brightened, and ecstasy welled up in his eyes. Is there finally a clue?
Ripples appeared on the ancient bronze mirror, and the originally deep and mysterious black color faded away like the tide, and the blurry image began to gradually become clear.

However, the Mirror of Judgment suddenly trembled, and the originally clear picture became hazy again. Finally, between the continuous flickering, another picture emerged, and finally gradually became clear, forming the map of a continent.

It was a desolate land, vast and endless, with no end in sight. However, the land was covered with bottomless abysses. These abysses cut the continent into pieces of different sizes, like a piece of porcelain full of cracks.

Looking at the map of this continent, Lu Chen was about to take out the spiritual map to look it up, but Dean Taicang shook his head and said its name with a smile.

"So this is the Ruins Continent. There's a chance you can find what you're looking for there..."

"Ruins Continent?"

Lu Chen raised an eyebrow, as if the name sounded familiar. At this moment, Dean Taicang slowly explained, "In ancient times, the Relic Continent was once one of the most vast continents in the universe. However, due to the ancient catastrophe, it was shattered into pieces, forming fragmented continents of varying sizes."

"This kind of fragmented continent is considered a treasure land in the vast universe, because it contains countless ancient relics. If someone is blessed with great fortune, they may be able to obtain ancient treasures and ancient heritage."

Hearing this, Lu Chen suddenly understood.

Isn’t this the continent where the five major academies held competitions in my past life memories?

According to his understanding, the Nine Yang Ganoderma Lucidum, one of the three main materials used by Muchen to forge the Great Sun Immortal Body in his previous life, was found there.

However, Taicang looked at the Mirror of Judgment in front of him with his eyes slightly narrowed. An ancient bronze seal appeared in his hand and spiritual power was injected into it.

The Mirror of Judgment shone with endless spiritual light, and the scene of the Ruins Continent changed. Light condensed again, and it seemed to have transformed into a mountain range with no end in sight. Above the mountain, a huge sun was suspended, and the light seemed to cover an entire vast continent.

And above the highest mountain peak, if you look closely, you can see an extremely huge cloud ladder emerging in the light. The cloud ladder is divided into nine levels and is suspended in the sky.

Looking at the towering mountain, Taicang's face showed a touch of emotion, and he said in shock: "Holy Spirit Mountain, how could it be here..."

"Holy Spirit Mountain?"

"Then it's in the Northern Cang Continent?"

Lu Chen was also surprised when he heard this, and said with some surprise.

"Yes, that place is not easy to enter. No wonder I just noticed something was wrong with the Mirror of Judgment. I felt like it was deliberately ignoring something."

"So what you're looking for is actually there. That's where the Supreme Lord of Heaven passed away..."

Taicang stroked his beard, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.

"Is it difficult to enter? Hasn't that always been the trial ground for the younger generation of the Northern Cang Continent?"

"Could it be that the top forces in Northern Cang have agreed that no unexpected Supreme Being will enter?"

Lu Chen frowned and spoke slowly.

It now seems that the Mirror of Judgment has found two places where the Great Sun Golden Crystal is hidden, one is the Ruins Continent, and the other is the Holy Spirit Mountains.

Although he didn't know why the Holy Spirit Mountain, which was closer to them, was ignored by the Mirror of Judgment at the first time, since it could save time, he would definitely go to the Holy Spirit Mountain to try.

"That's not the case, my friend..."

"No one, whether they are local or foreign supreme beings, can approach that area as long as they have reached the supreme level."

"Because there is a residual pressure there. I think it should be left behind by the ancient Heavenly Supreme when he passed away. That kind of pressure cannot be felt unless you have entered the Supreme Realm. You can approach it at will. On the contrary, Supreme Powers like us cannot get close to it."

Dean Taicang said with some sigh, his tone full of regret.

"The remaining pressure from a Heavenly Supreme actually prevents ordinary Supremes from approaching?"

Lu Chen frowned and immediately felt the difficulty of the matter.

"My friend, in a month, the Holy Spirit Mountain will be opened. If you don't mind the trouble, why don't you wait another month? After a month, I will send students from the Northern Cang Mountains to the Holy Spirit Mountain to search for you."

"If you are in a hurry, you can also set off for the Ruins Continent now. My Beicang Spiritual Academy's teleportation array also happens to lead there."

Seeing that Lu Chen was in a difficult situation, Taicang smiled and gave his own solution.

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said gratefully, "Then I'll trouble you, Dean. I'll go to the Ruins Continent to search first. If I find nothing, I'll come back to ask for help in a month."

"good."

Taicang stroked his beard, smiled and nodded.
