Chapter 215
Not long after, Fan Tong was summoned by the Jiuyan Old Ancestor into the Sect Master’s hall.
Inside the vast hall, there was only the Jiuyan Old Ancestor, who was holding a palm-sized treasure mirror with a yellow-brown frame and a light blue surface.
This object was the divine-grade spiritual instrument of the once Billowing Clouds Sect, the Memory Reflecting Mirror.
“Can this object really project memories?” the Jiuyan Old Ancestor inquired.
“Replying to the senior, indeed it can. The Memory Reflecting Mirror can project the true memories of cultivators and can be used to gather intelligence on enemies. However, unless voluntarily, it is only effective on cultivators below the upper four realms,” Fan Tong replied with a bow.
Hearing this, the Jiuyan Old Ancestor nodded.
No wonder such a mediocre divine-grade spiritual instrument was in the possession of the declining Billowing Clouds Sect with no one trying to seize it.
“How large is the range of memories this object can project?” the Jiuyan Old Ancestor asked again.
“The memory screen it projects is twelve zhang wide and six zhang high,” Fan Tong replied.
“That small?”The Jiuyan Old Ancestor was dissatisfied.
His intention was to project his memories of the nine cycles of reincarnation through this treasure mirror, allowing others to feel his pain.
But with such a small range, if one wanted to see it clearly and immerse themselves in it, at most only a dozen people could watch at a time.
“Senior, to be honest…” Fan Tong confessed.
“Although the Memory Reflecting Mirror is a divine-grade spiritual instrument, it is merely a fragment of a spiritual treasure from the Upper Domain, hence its limited function.”
“Oh?” The Jiuyan Old Ancestor raised an eyebrow.
“You mean to say, if all the fragments are gathered, this object could become a spiritual treasure?”
A spiritual treasure, both in rank and power, far surpasses a spiritual instrument and is exclusive to the Upper Domain.
It is said that high-level spiritual treasures can even cover an entire domain.
“I’m not sure about the specifics, but that is indeed what the ancient records of the sect say,” Fan Tong said.
The Jiuyan Old Ancestor nodded.
Although he appeared calm on the surface, he was actually extremely excited inside.
He couldn’t help but think that if one day he could gather all the fragments and assemble the complete “Memory Reflecting Mirror,” wouldn’t it mean that with just a thought, everyone in the entire domain would have to watch the nine cycles of reincarnation just like him?
Such a thought was simply happiness!
“Is it possible to project a specific memory?” the Jiuyan Old Ancestor asked again.
“Yes!” Fan Tong replied without hesitation.
“You just need a keyword to project a specific memory. Moreover, it also has functions like loop projection, acceleration, slow motion, and so on. Of course, the prerequisite is the person’s willingness.”
Perfect! Absolutely perfect!
The Jiuyan Old Ancestor was overjoyed in his heart.
“Ahem…”
After a light cough to cover his embarrassment, he immediately summoned all twelve Supreme Elders of the Jiuyan Sect.
He planned to first let this group of Supreme Elders experience his pain.
They were his own people, after all, and naturally should be more “understanding” than others.
Soon, Xiao Ting and others appeared as ordered.
The Jiuyan Old Ancestor handed the Memory Reflecting Mirror to Fan Tong, signaling him to start projecting his memories related to the nine cycles of reincarnation.
Fan Tong followed the order.
The doors and windows of the Sect Master’s hall were tightly closed, and all candles were extinguished.
In the pitch-black hall, a silver screen several zhang wide suddenly appeared out of thin air.
On the screen, the image of the Jiuyan Sect’s Ninth Peak appeared with the words 【First Life】 shining above in the sky.
At this moment in the image, Jiang Lianyue was just entering the sect, kowtowing to Xiao Hongyi, and offering tea.
Jiang Chen stood by Xiao Hongyi’s side, dressed in white, with a clean and hearty smile that seemed to warm all seasons.
“This…”
At the sight of Jiang Chen, the twelve Supreme Elders were collectively shocked.
They had never seen Jiang Chen dressed in white, nor had they ever seen him smile like that.
“Old Ancestor, what is this?” Xiao Ting asked, puzzled.
When his own memories were being projected, the Jiuyan Old Ancestor couldn’t move, but he could speak.
After a light sigh, the Jiuyan Old Ancestor said, “This is the truth of this world.”
The truth?
The twelve Supreme Elders didn’t understand what he meant, so they watched attentively, involuntarily immersing themselves in it.
When they saw was Jiang Chen clearly doing good deeds, but due to various “coincidences,” he became associated with evil deeds.
“So that’s how it is… No wonder the Old Ancestor said we were afflicted with inner demons! Indeed we were blinded by superficial appearances!” Xiao Ting was extremely shocked.
What they saw was that Jiang Chen had expended his energy to refine the Fire Impurity Pill for Jiang Lianyue, only to be labeled a “peeping Tom” and later stripped of his Core Formation!
“Alas!” one of the Supreme Elders sighed deeply.
“We have greatly misunderstood Jiang Chen!”
When they saw Jiang Chen again repeatedly misunderstood and accused, yet he continued to walk the righteous path and treat others with kindness, Xiao Ting was filled with self-reproach.
Because in the images, he too had been extremely hostile towards Jiang Chen due to certain coincidences.
He couldn’t help but think.
What kind of agony must Jiang Chen have felt after going through all of this?
Jiang Chen lived a life of righteousness but was constantly misunderstood.
On the other hand, people like Ma Wu claimed to be righteous but used despicable means and were still loved by others!
This, this was unfair!
At this moment, many of the Supreme Elders realized that it seemed like the heavens were targeting Jiang Chen.
Regarding this, they could only sigh helplessly.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
After all, that was the will of the heavens. Who could contend with it?
And when they saw even in death, Jiang Chen was determined to save his master, his junior brothers, and sisters…
The twelve Supreme Elders were struck as if by lightning.
The truth of this world was fully unveiled at this moment.
Jiang Chen was benevolent, never seeking anything in return and always acting for the sake of others, but despite such dedication and goodness, what he received in return was death and the obliteration of his path!
A kind of unprecedented anger and unwillingness emerged in everyone’s hearts, giving rise to an impulse to defy the heavens.
Yet, this impulse was quickly suppressed by them.
After all, defying the heavens was taboo.
The belief that the heavenly way of this world was unshakable had become a consensus among all cultivators.
The first life came to an end, and the screen plunged into darkness.
The Supreme Elders sighed incessantly.
They thought it should be over, but they didn’t realize it was just the beginning.
【The Second Life】
【The Third Life】
【The Fourth Life】
…….
The scenes on the screen continued.
In every life, Jiang Chen gave his all.
In every life, Jiang Chen strived to do good.
But in every life, Jiang Chen’s end was death at the hands of Lin Feng, and even the Jiuyan Sect was ultimately destroyed by other forces.
【The Ninth Life】
After the end, the elders couldn’t hold back anymore.
They were all clenching their fists tightly, gritting their teeth, their bodies trembling non-stop.
They finally understood. These were the memories of Jiang Chen’s previous nine lives.
Although they didn’t know why the Jiuyan Old Ancestor also had these memories, it was within reason that their own Old Ancestor was so awesome, possessing some mysterious power that they couldn’t understand.
【The Tenth Life】
In the scene, Jiang Chen is dressed in black.
That black attire was extremely striking, and with just one glance, the elders felt as if their Dao Hearts were also shrouded in darkness.
“Quickly steady your minds! Otherwise, we will fall into madness!”
Feeling the change in their Dao Hearts, Xiao Ting urgently shouted.
Upon hearing this, the other Supreme Elders took action.
But before they could stabilize their Dao Hearts, the next nine cycles of reincarnation began.
They wanted to close their eyes and not watch anymore.
But they found their own Old Ancestor was looking at them with a meaningful and threatening gaze.
That look was a bit mad and somewhat mocking.
