Chapter 752: Chapter 483: Lifespan Reaches 120,000! (Double-Length)

Ever since the transformation of his bloodline, Little Phoenix would occasionally summon the Hawk Demon to amuse itself when bored.

Thus, both Song Changming and Su Qingqing have become familiar and even accustomed to the presence of this Great Demon over the years.

"Sister Kuan," Su Qingqing greeted with a smile.

The Hawk Demon retracted the Celestial Phoenix Feather, responding softly. While her face remained cold, the fierce aura had dissipated. She now appeared like a somewhat aloof sister from the neighborhood.

"Changming."

On the other side, Hu Tomb had returned. Upon seeing the glowing Light Gate and the Xuwei Demon beside it, he immediately understood the situation.

To think that the Xuwei Demon dared to invade Cui Bai Main City, even breaking into the Marshal’s Cabinet of the Military Department this time.

Such audacious behavior was truly unexpected.

"It’s fine," Song Changming told Hu Tomb, dispersing the activated Protective Array around them. The Copper Mirror Fragment in the Xuwei Demon’s hand floated into Song Changming’s hand.

After a brief inspection, apart from slight differences in shape and size, the Copper Mirror Fragment showed no significant distinction.

Who knows how many such Copper Mirror Fragments the Xuwei Demon Race still possesses?

Hu Tomb then ordered the remaining living demons to be taken away, hoping to extract any intelligence from them.

As for the arriving Hawk Demon, since she had helped Prince Cui annihilate the Changsheng Su Family and formed a connection with Song Changming, neither Prince Cui nor Hu Tomb would prevent her from entering the city, as long as she did not harm the Human Race.

If possible, Prince Cui hoped to recruit this powerful Bird Race demon to stand with the Human Race and align with them.

After all, this was no ordinary Great Demon. The Hawk Demon’s power was growing rapidly, and she had a Celestial Phoenix Feather as her trump card.

The Celestial Phoenix Divine Fire was something even Prince Cui deeply feared.

The task of recruitment was primarily assigned to Song Changming.

There was no choice, for it was only him and those around him that the Hawk Demon would treat favorably; to others, she showed only indifference.

"Qingqing, take Sister Kuan to settle in at the mansion," Song Changming instructed Su Qingqing.

The Hawk Demon originally had no name; she later chose the name Kuan for herself.

After becoming familiar with her, Song Changming often called her Sister Kuan, while Su Qingqing addressed her as elder sister.

Although Kuan did not intend to linger, she could not refuse Little Phoenix’s request to stay a bit longer, so she followed Su Qingqing and Little Phoenix away.

Thus, only Song Changming and Lv Yuchen were left in the room.

"Continue," Song Changming said.

"Yes." Lv Yuchen calmed his earlier chaotic emotions and continued his report.

It was not until nearly midnight that Lv Yuchen finally took his leave.

[Today’s Evaluation: A boring day, Life Span +5, gained temporary status ’Mediocre’]

Song Changming stowed away the documents and casually glanced at his daily evaluation panel, but he did not mind.

Lacking the momentum to continue his cultivation, he simply decided to take a couple more days of rest.

In this world, he had already lived a hundred years, equivalent to an ordinary mortal’s lifetime.

With his current vision and experience, he no longer pursued momentary gains and losses.

For him, it was more important to always walk the right path and consider his long-term development plans.

After all, he would have to live through countless such days in the future.

Life Span: 121,755

A full 120,000 life years, which was his accumulation over the past two decades.

Converted to years, it amounted to more than three hundred years of remaining life span.

For a Martial Arts Grandmaster, having more than three hundred years of life span was considered quite a lot.

And for Song Changming, these three hundred years were nothing by themselves. Combined with his ’Nirvana Rebirth’ supernatural ability, it was as if he had three extra lives compared to others, which made him feel very secure.

Even if he ever blundered, it would only cost one of his extra lives, which seemed insignificant compared to having three in total.

As a result, Song Changming now possessed a somewhat fearless attitude, often holding a transcendent perspective on the world.

Moreover, his Spirit Root dual attribute had steadily increased over the years, reaching one hundred and twenty points.

The Spirit Attribute was now at one hundred and twenty-five points, while the Root Attribute reached one hundred and twenty-two points.

The steady growth of his Innate Talent made cultivation increasingly easier for Song Changming, with no bottlenecks in sight.

Several days passed, and Prince Cui returned from the Nine Netherworld.

In the main hall of the Prince’s Mansion,

Song Changming looked at the pile of fragments on the long table, all Copper Mirror Fragments.

Altogether, there seemed to be seventeen or eighteen, indicating the bloody battle Prince Cui must have waged in the Nine Netherworld.

Otherwise, these treasured Copper Mirror Fragments, held in reverence by the Xuwei Demon, would not have ended up in Prince Cui’s possession.

"Adding mine and Changming’s, it makes a total of twenty," Hu Tomb noted as he glanced at the Copper Mirror Fragments Prince Cui brought back.

"Let’s pieced them together," Prince Cui nodded.

The Copper Mirror Fragments varied in shape, but under Hu Tomb’s arrangement, they quickly formed a rough whole.

A nearly complete Copper Mirror appeared.

"It’s missing two pieces," Hu Tomb observed, noticing two gaps in the mirror where fragments were still missing.

"That means the Xuwei Demon Race must have the last two Copper Mirror Fragments," Song Changming affirmed with a nod.

"I’ve almost scoured the Nine Netherworld, so the remaining fragments must have been taken elsewhere," Prince Cui pondered.

"Perhaps we can inquire with the other Great Kings," Song Changming suggested to Prince Cui.

After all, some Great Kings from the south and east of Yun Province had already sent people to investigate the Xuwei Demon situation, so they might have obtained the final two Copper Mirror Fragments.

"It’s a possibility," Prince Cui nodded in agreement.

"A single fragment allows such teleportation between areas, so if it were complete, imagine its power..." Hu Tomb mused.

But Prince Cui cautioned, "Don’t be so optimistic. Despite its mysterious nature, this treasure has likely been long shattered in the Celestial Ruins Realm. Repairing it is no easy task, and even if complete, it might be useless."

Hu Tomb concurred, realizing the difficulty of reassembling a broken mirror. Otherwise, the Xuwei Demon Race would have already obtained a complete Copper Mirror, not just these fragments.

"Additionally, I’ve studied it. Currently, only the Xuwei Demon Race can use it; others can’t. Although I’ve collected these, they’re essentially useless," Prince Cui admitted.

He wasn’t particularly concerned about the Copper Mirror Fragments, recognizing that even the most powerful treasures are futile if unusable.

"Changming, would you like these?" Prince Cui suddenly inquired of Song Changming.

"If you don’t need them, I’ll take them for further study," Song Changming readily accepted.

Prince Cui generously waved his hand.

"They’re all yours; if you can find a use for them, all the better."

"Thank you," Song Changming accepted gratefully.

Though not immediately useful to him, he wasn’t sure if future annual rewards might grant him a new physique, allowing him to use the Copper Mirror Fragments like the Xuwei Demons.

The ability to freely teleport between places was not trivial.

If only the Xuwei Demon Race had more caution and strategic growth instead of being reckless, this treasure’s power could lead to significant prominence in the Demon Realm.

After Song Changming accepted the Copper Mirror Fragments, Prince Cui shifted the topic: "The upcoming Imperial Banquet is about to begin. This time, Emperor Yun will offer more opportunities to enter the Celestial Ruins Realm, countering any demons that might also intrude.

If you wish to go, seize the chance during the Cloud Fighting, and showcase your abilities."

In Prince Cui’s opinion, the Xuwei Demon’s disturbances were insignificant; the impending opening of the Celestial Ruins Realm was Emperor Yun’s true focus.

Emperor Yun would likely send more strongmen to secure the second entrance located in the Nine Netherworld, preparing and deploying strategies.

If both sides came fully prepared, the opening of the Celestial Ruins Realm could trigger another war between the Yunzhou Human Race and the Demon Race!

These were all possibilities.
