Liu Ming shook his head regretfully. He turned his gaze and looked at the Celestial Mirror on the stone platform.
The Celestial Mirror was quietly floating on the stone platform at the moment, emitting a soft light.
A hint of excitement flashed in Liu Ming's eyes. After all, for this treasure, countless families in the Ten Thousand Demon Continent had desperately sent their experts into the dangerous Inner Abyss. In the end, most of them died. Even the fall of Qing Ling and Mo Tian was related to this treasure.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh and reached out to take the Celestial Mirror.
"If you don't want to die, don't touch the mirror. Once you touch the mirror, the Demon Lord will be able to come here in the blink of an eye. "A slightly cold voice sounded in Liu Ming's mind.
Liu Ming raised his eyebrows and retracted his right hand. He didn't show any shock on his face and said with a slight smile,
"Senior artifact spirit, long time no see."
That voice belonged to the artifact spirit of the cage.
"Oh, I didn't expect you to still remember me. It's really rare." The cage artifact spirit paused and said slowly.
"Of course. Since I was caught into this Reincarnation Mirror, senior has been secretly using the power of the cage to help me. How could I not know?" Liu Ming said with a faint smile.
The cage artifact spirit was silent for a moment. Liu Ming only felt that his vision was blurred. When he recovered, his whole body had appeared in a gray space. It was the cage space that he hadn't been to for a long time.
Liu Ming looked at the familiar gray fog around him and sighed in his heart.
Almost from the beginning of stepping on the path of cultivation, he had been inextricably linked with this place. He didn't expect that this connection would continue intermittently until now.
At this moment, after the gray fog in front of him rolled, a black-robed figure slowly approached from afar and stopped more than ten meters away from Liu Ming.
This person was wearing a hood on his head and his face couldn't be seen. A pair of eyes under the hood were quietly looking over.
"Senior Artifact Spirit." Liu Ming looked straight at the black-robed man and cupped his fists.
The cage artifact spirit looked at Liu Ming and suddenly said, "That Devil Soul must have told you about the origin of this cage, right?"
"Not bad." Liu Ming nodded.
"The reason this cage exists is to fight against the Original Devil Lord. You have personally witnessed the might of the Demon Lord in the Reincarnation Mirror. Do you fear him? "The cage artifact spirit's eyes suddenly sharpened as it stared at Liu Ming.
"Ha ha ha! It would be a lie to say that I am not afraid. Now that things have come to this, I have already thought it through. If worst comes to worst, I will just die. That is better than becoming a walking corpse and getting devoured for nothing," Liu Ming said coolly.
"You're very frank. Speaking of which, your wisdom and courage are quite commendable. "The cage's artifact spirit was silent for a moment before speaking.
"Thank you for your praise, Senior. I have tried to contact senior artifact spirit before, but you have never shown yourself. Since senior has taken the initiative to show yourself, you must have something to say to me, right? "Liu Ming cupped his fists and immediately changed the topic.
"You are currently in the Reincarnation Mirror. Although the Demon Lord has yet to discover your identity, as time passes, he will definitely be able to sense the existence of the cage. I did not respond to your call that day because I wanted to prevent my aura from leaking out. Also, I wanted to see if you are qualified to be the owner of this cage. "The cage artifact spirit said coolly.
"Then what does senior think of me?" Liu Ming's eyes flashed as he asked.
"Although your talent is slightly lacking, your temperament is not bad. You are barely qualified." The cage artifact spirit said coolly.
"Since senior has acknowledged me, I wonder if you can open the door. I am sure senior is aware of my current situation. I cannot stay in the Reincarnation Mirror for long. "Liu Ming said in a low voice.
"Since you have already made up your mind, I will open the door for you. However, I will say the ugly words first. Although you have comprehended several types of laws, your cultivation is still too far away from the Demon Lord. Even if you obtain the inheritance inside, you may not be able to fight against the Demon Lord. "The artifact spirit said coolly.
"Senior, please grant me my wish." Liu Ming said slowly.
The Artifact Spirit nodded and didn't say anything else. Instead, it suddenly waved its arms and made a series of hand seals. After that, a series of cryptic incantations rang out, reverberating in the empty space, making it seem rather ethereal.
Liu Ming stared intently at the artifact spirit's actions. A few thoughts flashed through his mind, but his expression remained calm.
When the artifact spirit's hand signs and incantation stopped, a dazzling golden light suddenly appeared in the grey space. There were faint golden runes circulating in the golden light. It was incomparably mysterious, and the grey space was instantly illuminated by a brilliant golden wall.
A low Sanskrit sound rang out, and the huge golden runes exploded. Each rune turned into a ball of golden light, and in the blink of an eye, a dazzling sea of golden light appeared in front of Liu Ming.
As the Sanskrit sound continued to ring in his ears, a giant golden door that was four feet wide and five feet tall slowly emerged from the surface of the sea.
Liu Ming's eyes narrowed.
On the surface of the giant door, there were spirit inscriptions of different colors crisscrossing, forming a strange pattern.
Looking at the giant golden door in front of him, a strange look flashed through Liu Ming's eyes.
A long time ago, Luo Hou had also summoned this giant golden door. However, Luo Hou had already disappeared, leaving behind only a wisp of Origin Essence, which was still in his Sumeru Ring.
At that time, he had promised Luo Hou that he would resurrect him in the future.
He had now advanced to the Ethereal Understanding realm, but he still knew nothing about the method of resurrection. He didn't know when he would be able to fulfill his promise.
While he was thinking, the giant golden door appeared in front of him. The two doors were tightly shut, and there were rays of seven-coloured light twining around them.
The cage artifact spirit chanted an incantation again, and a seven-coloured light appeared in the palms of his hands. He was about to cast a technique to open the door.
"Wait a moment, Senior artifact spirit, can you let me out for a moment?" Liu Ming's eyes flashed, and he suddenly spoke.
The cage artifact spirit was startled, and stopped its hand to look at him.
"Sure." The cage artifact spirit seemed to realize something, and waved its hand at Liu Ming.
Liu Ming's vision blurred, and he instantly appeared in the hall where he had been.
His eyes swept over the headless corpses of Green Spirit and the grey-robed man, and with a flick of his finger, two huge fireballs fell on their remains, turning them into ashes. Then, he carefully wiped away the remaining traces in the surroundings.
After doing this, his eyes fell on the Turbid Sky Mirror on the stone pillar of the hall.
The Turbid Sky Mirror was shrouded in a faint circle of white light, which seemed to be the restriction left behind by the Demon Lord that the artifact spirit had mentioned.
Liu Ming snorted, and punched the white circle of light, shattering it. Then, without hesitation, he grabbed the Turbid Sky Mirror.
A gentle energy seeped into his body from the Turbid Sky Mirror, causing his spirit to shake.
"Good stuff!"
Liu Ming was overjoyed. Although he hadn't refined it yet, the quality of the Turbid Sky Mirror seemed to be above that of the Demon Damage Whip.
His eyes flashed, and with a wave of his hand, he stored the Turbid Sky Mirror into his Sumeru Ring. Then, his divine sense seeped into the cage bubble.
"Senior artifact spirit, it's enough." He shouted.
Just as he finished speaking, a powerful magic power emerged from the cage bubble. His vision blurred, and he was back in the cage space.
"Not bad, you still dare to take chestnuts out of the fire at this time. Your courage is commendable. It seems that making you the true master of this cage was the right decision." The cage artifact spirit said lightly as it looked at Liu Ming.
Liu Ming smiled faintly and didn't speak.
If the artifact spirit hadn't opened the giant golden door, he wouldn't have dared to take the risk to take the Turbid Sky Mirror.
Now that the arrow was already nocked on the bowstring, he didn't care about making a desperate gamble.
The cage artifact spirit didn't speak again, instead chanting an incantation and waving its hand to release a seven-coloured glow that fell on the giant golden door.
The seven-coloured glow that wrapped around the golden door slowly cracked, and the huge door slowly opened. Suddenly, a dazzling golden light rushed out. Liu Ming narrowed his eyes, and as a purple light flashed in his eyes, he could vaguely make out a black and white Eight Trigrams phantom slowly rotating inside the door.
"The artefacts refined by the Ancient Masters are inside. After entering, there will be other tests waiting for you. Whether or not you can pass those tests will depend on your luck," the Cage Artefact Spirit said coolly.
Liu Ming was startled for a moment before nodding. Just as he was about to step into the giant door, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at the artifact spirit.
He asked, "Senior artifact spirit, what will happen if I can't pass the tests inside?"
"Then you won't be qualified to continue to be the master of this cage. As for your fate … your Soul will be imprisoned in the depths of the cage, just like the other Devil Souls here. Then, the cage will lie dormant and search for its next master." The cage artifact spirit said in a flat tone.
"Haha, so that's how it is. Thank you for telling me." Liu Ming laughed freely, and with a sway of his body, he flew directly into the giant door.
The moment he stepped into the door, the slowly rotating Eight Trigrams phantom suddenly accelerated its rotation. A large amount of black and white light gushed out from it, wrapping around Liu Ming's body. Then, with a flash of black and white light, the Eight Trigrams phantom and Liu Ming disappeared into the giant golden door.
The cage artifact spirit looked indifferently at the empty giant golden door. After a long time, he sighed.
Then, the surrounding grey mist rolled, and his body slowly disappeared into the grey space.
Not long after Liu Ming entered the giant golden door, a black light suddenly appeared in the hall where the Celestial Mirror was stored, flashing and transforming into a black array.
Then, a silver-haired middle-aged man with a golden mask appeared out of thin air from the black array and walked out. An astonishing pressure suddenly swept out and filled the entire hall.
This person was none other than the Original Demon Lord.
The Original Demon Lord looked at the empty stone platform with an extremely ugly expression.
His expression changed. He turned his hand and took out a jade token with a faint black light. A name was engraved on it with ancient demon runes. It was "Qi Yao", but at this moment, the name had become dim.
