Chapter 255: Chapter 228: The Observatory Director’s Astonishment! Lu Xuan Is Far Too Monstrous

All around the observatory’s tower, the security was tight, and no idle people were allowed to approach. Within a radius of a thousand meters, a large number of guards patrolled.

The topmost part of the observatory tower, thousands of feet high, was submerged within thick clouds.

The overlapping clouds billowed and clustered closely, enveloping the top of the observatory’s tower tightly, making it impossible for anyone to see clearly.

Inside the top of the observatory’s tower was a dark and deep scene.

Within the tower’s loft, only a few touches of golden bright candlelight flickered in the profound darkness.

They were like faint yet mysteriously profound stars in the night.

At the corners of the surrounding walls, there were also some strange and exquisite crystal stones placed.

These crystal stones, roughly the size of pebbles, quietly emitted a soft glow, interwoven with the candlelight.

In this dim space, they outlined an illusory and charming silhouette, faintly exuding an extremely mysterious and ancient feeling.

The very center of the loft, which was the brightest area.

There were several figures in gray long robes and cloaks, sitting quietly around there.

The fabric of the gray robes was fine and soft, but it bore an aged luster, with layers of folds, like patterns carved by long years.

Under the deep hoods of the wide gray cloaks, their faces were completely hidden in shadow, making it impossible to glimpse them.

These people sat close to each other, yet maintained an appropriate silence.

Only occasionally, when a breeze swept through, would it lift their garments slightly, revealing their presence.

In the position around which they sat, there were two round objects like mirrors placed prominently.

One of these mirrors appeared quite large, while the other was very small.

At the same time, the edges of these two mirrors fit tightly together, as if they were naturally one.

The large mirror stood about the height of an adult, floating quietly in mid-air.

Around the rim of the large mirror was tightly wrapped in a layer of crimson crystals.

These crimson crystals seemed like solidified flames, radiating a searing heat.

However, the mirror’s surface had a cyan bronze luster, inscribed with countless mysterious patterns that twisted and meandered.

These patterns looked ordinary, like an ancient well without a ripple. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

By the side of the large mirror, the small mirror was only about one-third the size of the large mirror.

The rim of it was inlaid with dark crystals, with a subdued tone yet faintly flowing with a cool moonlit glow.

This was the most important object of the entire observatory.

Heaven, Earth, Sun, and Moon Mirror!

Level Nine Moon-Sacrificing Artifact!

Even within the entire Great Xia, it was one of the most precious artifacts aside from the Sun-Sacrificing Artifacts.

The Heaven, Earth, Sun, and Moon Mirror was the sacred treasure bestowed by the Holy Ancestor of Great Xia to the observatory.

The large mirror was named the Sun Mirror, used to survey the world, reflecting all hidden forces.

The small mirror was the Moon Mirror, capturing the aura of all creatures, leaving them nowhere to hide.

The two tightly fitting Heaven, Earth, Sun, and Moon Mirrors suddenly underwent subtle changes without any warning.

The Heaven, Earth, Sun, and Moon Mirror abruptly trembled, causing the surrounding air to gently shake.

Then, around the mirror’s body, ripples quietly arose, as if a stone was thrown into a calm lake.

These ripples were not swaying in water, but rather on the serene mirror surface.

On the mirror surface filled with mysterious patterns, each ripple emitted a faint and mystical glow.

This magical change naturally drew the attention of the people in front of the Heaven, Earth, Sun, and Moon Mirror.

The figures under the gray robes and cloaks were slightly startled at the same time.

Their downcast eyes opened instantly, sharp light shooting from them, tightly fixing on the Heaven, Earth, Sun, and Moon Mirror.

The man in the lead was an elder, with deep ravines etched into his face, his grizzled beard quivering slightly with his rapid breathing.

From the depths of the elder’s eyes, terrifying brilliance shot forth, like two tangible blades, causing the distant candle flames to flicker continuously.

Simultaneously, an invisible and immense power emanated abruptly from the elder as its center.

The surrounding air seemed to be violently stirred by an invisible giant hand, emitting a low whistling sound.

Inside the loft, the previous dead silence was instantly broken, a ghostly voice suddenly reverberating.

"The Heaven, Earth, Sun, and Moon Mirror is showing signs of change again?"

"Within just a day, not only the aura of the Pure World White Lotus Sect demons appeared, but also the power of Celestial Demon Realm beasts."

On the antiqued bronze mirror surface of the Heaven, Earth, Sun, and Moon Mirror, tinged with cyan glow.

The previously calm-as-abyss mirror surface began to ripple like water waves, slowly revealing two faintly discernible still images.

The figures in the images were the shadow of the Primordial Spirit of the old woman from the Pure World White Lotus Sect, and the shadow of the Lion Monarch’s Primordial Spirit.

"Hmm?"

"Is it in that place in the Southern Domain Nether State Feihua Prefecture?"

"I remember, didn’t that young fellow Li Chengxing personally go over there?"

"Moreover, the old undying demon Bai Gu, even willing to release his Primordial Spirit shadow, showing up in the Ming State Feihua Prefecture."

The elder’s gaze locked onto the Primordial Spirit shadow of the old woman like a hawk, a storm seeming to churn in his eyes.
