Chapter 150: Refining the Ancient Residence

Li Heng could not help but be surprised.

Because the style of this Bronze Ancient Mirror was exactly the same as the Bronze Ancient Mirror taken out by the owner of the Ancient Residence on Grave Mountain earlier, at most it was just a few times larger.

After pondering slightly for a moment, he walked into this house.

Suddenly, the house moved without wind, and with a *snap*, it closed directly, trapping Li Heng inside the room. His expression remained as usual, and he did not feel surprised; this was already within his expectations.

At this moment, an anomaly suddenly appeared within the Bronze Ancient Mirror.

The Li Heng inside the mirror began to move out of sync with Li Heng, and then Li Heng felt an invisible force restricting him, making him synchronize with the self inside the mirror.

Interesting. Li Heng smiled slightly.

He did not resist, but instead followed this force to synchronize; gradually, his figure moved closer and closer to that Bronze Ancient Mirror, and finally, he touched the mirror surface with one hand.

Immediately following, there was a trance in his surroundings.

He then saw another self standing before his eyes. The appearance was exactly the same as his own, only the temperament looked evil; at this time, this self was looking at Li Heng wildly.

Li Heng sensed his situation slightly and smiled faintly.

So that was it; he had entered into the mirror, and the Li Heng inside the mirror, this so-called self, had come to Reality.

"You ignorant fool, you actually didn't even resist."

The mirror Li Heng in Reality laughed loudly.

"You are indeed very strong; you even punched and exploded my power avatar earlier, but you have no way of imagining who left this Bronze Ancient Mirror behind. Now you should be able to feel that the Ancient Mirror has cut off your connection to Reality."

"You will be trapped here for all eternity!"

The mirror Li Heng who had run into Reality said gleefully.

"And I shall take your identity! Let me see what is in your memories; if you have a wife, that would be wonderful. Rest assured, I will take care of your wife for you, no need to worry."

As he spoke, he was just about to check Li Heng's memories, but he was suddenly stunned, his face instantly showing shock. "What is going on? Why can't I check your memories? Why is everything just a blur!"

Inside the mirror, Li Heng shook his head, somewhat disappointed.

"You really are useless."

He stretched out his hand, actually ignoring the seal of the Ancient Mirror; his arm reached directly out of the Bronze Ancient Mirror, grabbed the somewhat shocked and bewildered mirror Li Heng by the neck, and then lifted him up.

Immediately following, Li Heng walked slowly out of the Ancient Mirror.

The mirror Li Heng watched this scene, incomparably shocked, struggling with all his might; the Yin energy around his body surged like a tide, crashing into Li Heng, wanting to make him let go. But before the Yin energy could even invade Li Heng's body, it had already dissipated, completely useless.

He was dumbfounded; how could this be possible?

Why could this person before him ignore the seal of the Bronze Ancient Mirror? One must know that this mirror was left behind by that person; unless one possessed the corresponding authority, how could it be possible to come out!

"Speak, who exactly are you?"

Li Heng spoke faintly and flicked his hand, throwing the mirror Li Heng against the wall. Afterward, he used the Earth Divine Intent to suppress the mirror Li Heng, preventing him from using any Weird abilities to escape.

"Cough, cough, I should be the one asking you, who exactly are you!"

That mirror Li Heng gasped for air, feeling that he was suppressed by some kind of force and was completely unable to move; knowing that he had no hope of escape, he could only ask in confusion.

"As a Weird demon, you must be polite, understand?"

Li Heng smiled slightly, and a ball of Sun True Fire had already flown in front of the mirror Li Heng, inches away, making him feel the Terror-inducing heat and that power capable of destroying everything.

With the Great Terror before him, cold sweat poured down the mirror Li Heng.

"I'll talk, I'll talk, I count as a mirror demon now!" This mirror demon shouted in a hurry, and then revealed his true form, turning into a crystal-clear humanoid figure that seemed to be composed of crystal.

A mirror demon? Li Heng pondered slightly, then that was no wonder...

Books have said that mirrors have weirdness and harm human lives. If there is a mirror demon within, and a person looks into this demon mirror, they will surely enter the mirror and be trapped within forever, while the mirror demon can exit the mirror and replace this person.

"Then who is the true owner of this Ancient Residence?"

Li Heng said faintly.

"This... I cannot say."

"My lord, it is not that I do not want to say, but when she headed to that place, she cast a Secret Technique on her name. Those of us who know, if we speak the name without her permission, we will die suddenly."

The mirror demon explained in a hurry, fearing that Li Heng would kill him with a single slap.

She? Li Heng was slightly surprised.

"You have two choices now: one is to say her name, the other is not to say it and be beaten to death by me. Choose; I will give you the time it takes for one stick of incense to consider."

He would not believe the one-sided words of this so-called mirror demon.

The mirror demon's expression froze instantly; wasn't this asking him to die! "My lord, spare this little one; this little one truly cannot say. This little one offended you, and I had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai; I beg you to spare me!"

This mirror demon had a mournful face, begging bitterly.

"Crying, crying also counts as time, you know."

Li Heng smiled slightly.

The mirror demon's crying stopped immediately, and he gritted his teeth. "My lord, this little one can speak, but please let me return to the Bronze Ancient Mirror first; the Ancient Mirror might be able to avoid the Ancient Residence owner's Secret Technique."

Li Heng nodded and threw him back into the Ancient Mirror.

But as soon as this mirror demon returned to the mirror, his expression suddenly became wild, and he laughed loudly. "You fool, you actually really let me back in. Now that I won't say it, what can you do to me?"

He knew that for the Bronze Ancient Mirror originally left behind by the Ancient Residence owner, coming out was difficult, but going in was even harder. That this person could ignore the Bronze Ancient Mirror just now was likely because he had invited a wolf into the house.

Now, as long as he refused to let this person in.

This person could do nothing to him!

He had confidence in the Ancient Mirror left behind by the original Ancient Residence owner, and besides, this was his only path to survival. After all, he was not a fool; even if he really said it, this person before him might not necessarily spare him, as this person hadn't even guaranteed anything to him just now.

Li Heng's expression remained as usual, just as he had expected.

But why do these demons and Weirds all like to court death?

He shook his head; that solid mirror surface was like a water surface to him. He reached one hand directly into the Bronze Ancient Mirror, causing ripples to stir, and once again simply and easily grabbed the mirror demon by the neck.

Then the Sun True Fire ignited, burning the mirror demon.

In an instant, he turned into flying ash; Source Power plus two hundred.

"If you don't want to say it, then don't," Li Heng said faintly.

Removing the mirror demon, Li Heng discovered that this room was still resisting him, making it difficult to refine. Clearly, the true culprit was not the mirror demon, but this Bronze Ancient Mirror itself.

However, since the target was locked on, that resistance was of no use.

His thoughts settled, and he erupted with powerful Earth Divine Intent, wrapping the entire Bronze Ancient Mirror, and then, with Sun True Fire, erupted with a scorching intent and refining power to refine it.

During the refining process.

Li Heng felt the Bronze Ancient Mirror resisting instinctively, but this instinctive resistance was like a mere formality to the extremely high-essence Earth Divine Intent and Sun True Fire, and it was soon refined.

The function of the Bronze Ancient Mirror also surfaced in his mind.

Its main function is sealing?

Li Heng's expression was strange; who was it trying to fool? Even his own Earth Divine Intent could extend into it; could this even be called sealing?

Forget it, better to use an Appraisal Technique on it first.

He opened the Data Panel and used the Identification Function.

【Bronze Ancient Mirror: Originally just an unremarkable mirror, it was a vanity mirror belonging to a certain woman. Later, after being sublimated by a Secret Technique, it gained the ability to seal, capable of sealing living beings within the mirror to be driven by its owner. Hidden information: There exists a passage inside the mirror, which can allow the first owner to return through the passage.】

As he expected, there was a hidden trapdoor inside!

He sneered and scanned the interior of the mirror for a long time, finally discovering something unusual. In one inconspicuous corner, there was an altar hidden, faintly emitting spatial fluctuations.

A passage, you say? I'll shut you down first!

Li Heng directly used his Earth Divine Intent and Great Sun Divine Intent to wrap this altar in layer upon layer, sealing it up. That so-called first owner wants to return? They'll have to get his permission first!

After finishing all this, he returned to the main hall.

He used his Earth Divine Intent to scan the Ancient Residence again to ensure there were no omissions, then Li Heng performed the final refinement, imprinting his own mark onto this Ancient Residence, and soon finished refining it.

The information about the Ancient Residence also surfaced in his mind.

The first thing was to make corpses move; as long as they had the support of the darkness within the Ancient Residence, these corpses would possess fifty percent of the strength they had in life, to be driven by Li Heng.

Another thing was that it could emit an Ominous Curse, consuming a certain amount of power, and could even curse others across extremely far distances.

Furthermore, this Ancient Residence possessed the characteristics of both a Yinzhai and a Yangzhai, capable of freely appearing in the Yin World or the Present World, and by consuming a certain power, it could even shift between the Present World and the Yin World.

The reason the Ancient Residence could manifest in the Present World so quickly.

Was all thanks to this characteristic!

Li Heng's face showed joy; he didn't care much for the other two functions, but this function of shifting between the Yin World and the Present World was quite good, as it could allow him to possess a freely moving cave dwelling.

The first function was also worth developing.

For example, by using some method to make those dead corpses move, and then killing them, he could obtain Source Power again; he could repeatedly farm Source Power using this method.

Of course, this should be very difficult.

After all, the corpses being able to move all relied on the darkness of the Ancient Residence; once the darkness was expelled, they would turn back into corpses, just like before, and killing them would yield no Source Power.

With a thought, a mass of darkness appeared in his hand.

He looked at this mass of darkness, frowning; what on earth was this thing? It didn't look like Yin energy at all, and upon continuing to sense it, he felt as if there was nothing in his hand.

Could it be some kind of rule?

Various guesses flashed through his heart, then settled and were buried deep within. His cultivation realm was still too low to recognize its essence; considering it now was merely being overly ambitious, so he would wait until his strength was greater in the future.

Thinking this, he stepped out and arrived outside the Ancient Residence.

"Let's go."

He spoke indifferently, calling out to Kong Que, who was still afraid.

At this moment, in a place of inexplicable gloom.

A pair of eyes lit up from the endless darkness, revealing confusion; why could it no longer sense its home?
