Chapter 1503 - 1500: Jade Mountain Kunlun Mirror

Ye Qiu heard Fang Wushang's words and immediately turned to look at the black cat, discovering that the black cat was slowly opening its eyes and was licking its paw in boredom.

"Just now, I don't know why, I just felt like sitting in this place. After I sat down, it seemed like my spirit traveled, and I saw those people in the mural."

"Really?!" Fang Wushang looked at Ye Qiu in surprise and said, "You said you saw them."

Ye Qiu nodded and said, "Yes, when I opened my eyes, I was sitting here again. I wondered if I just had a dream."

"Maybe..." Fang Wushang looked at Ye Qiu hesitantly and said, "Maybe it wasn't just a dream."

"Hmm?" Ye Qiu looked at Fang Wushang in confusion and said, "What do you mean by that?"

Fang Wushang took Ye Qiu's hand and said, "Come with me, I'll show you something."

Ye Qiu took a couple of steps with Fang Wushang, then heard a clattering sound. Looking down, Ye Qiu found the Jade Mountain Kunlun Mirror right by his feet.

"Huh?" Fang Wushang looked at the Jade Mountain Kunlun Mirror in confusion and said, "When did it appear there?"

Ye Qiu bent down, picked up the Jade Mountain Kunlun Mirror, and said to Fang Wushang, "But I'm sure I wasn't dreaming just now."

Fang Wushang nodded and led Ye Qiu to a mural, saying, "When you were sitting there, I saw this painting. You can take a look."

Ye Qiu carefully examined the mural, which depicted the reason for the fall of this small kingdom. Someone wanted to seize the Jade Mountain Kunlun Mirror. With a longsword, he killed the mage, and beside the mage lay a man with a crown who seemed to be the king of that country, but the king also appeared dead.

Fang Wushang cautiously glanced at Ye Qiu and said, "I now think the person holding the longsword and killing the mage is you."

Not only did Fang Wushang think so, but even Ye Qiu himself felt it, because he indeed killed that man in a black robe, who was the mage, although he did not kill Muta. So who carved this mural?

For some reason, Ye Qiu thought the person who carved this mural was Muta. Now, Ye Qiu believed he was already dead; he didn't start a new life but never left this underground palace. Muta carved this mural to explain the demise of this small kingdom to everyone.

Ye Qiu didn't care about the character he was portrayed as; he could only feel that after Muta finished carving this mural, he also committed suicide. After his death, he retained his throne, just like those ancient historical records, regardless of whether things were that way. For the belief of the people and the face of the country, it had to be said that way.

"Do you also think that person is you?" Fang Wushang looked at Ye Qiu and asked.

Upon hearing this, Ye Qiu nodded and said, "That's right, I did kill that man in black there, but the story is not as the mural suggests."

Ye Qiu thought for a moment and then briefly recounted what happened in the underground palace to Fang Wushang, who nodded with emotion, "I see, I didn't expect such a story in this underground palace. It seems you really traveled."

Fang Wushang looked again at the mirror in Ye Qiu's hand and said, "It seems this is the Jade Mountain Kunlun Mirror, and you brought it back from there."

Ye Qiu looked down at the Jade Mountain Kunlun Mirror in his hand, nodded, and said, "Indeed, after I killed that mage, I held onto this Kunlun Mirror, and I didn't expect it could return with me. It's really astonishing."

Fang Wushang nodded and said, "So, it's destined that you are meant to possess the Jade Mountain Kunlun Mirror."

Ye Qiu smiled a bit, "Alright, since we've found the Jade Mountain Kunlun Mirror, we should hurry and leave here."

Fang Wushang nodded, then walked to the throne in the hall, wanting to pick up the black cat.

But just as Fang Wushang approached, the black cat immediately stood up and with a few swift moves, jumped directly into Ye Qiu's arms.

Fang Wushang looked speechlessly at the black cat in Ye Qiu's arms and said, "It seems it still prefers you."

Ye Qiu smiled and remembered how, during the illusion technique in the Holy Hall with Muta, the crisp meow might have come from this very black cat in his arms, aiding him when needed.

Ye Qiu stroked the black cat's ears and said, "Since you're willing to follow me, I have to give you a name. You're all black, how about I call you Xiao Hei?"

Hearing Ye Qiu's suggestion, Fang Wushang was speechless, and even the black cat flashed a disdainful look.

"I say, Ye Qiu, could you pick a more cliché name? Xiao Hei! Can you think of a better name?"

Ye Qiu also felt the black cat in his arms didn't like the name, and helplessly said, "Then what do you suggest we call it?"

"Well, the name should be given by you, come up with a better one." Fang Wushang said to Ye Qiu.

"A better one..." Ye Qiu thought for a moment, then suddenly his eyes lit up and he said, "How about Black Panther? Panthers are also felines, so we'll call it Black Panther."

Hearing Ye Qiu's words, Fang Wushang gave a noncommittal nod. After all, it wasn't her name to call, as long as the black cat accepted, it didn't matter to her.

The black cat extended its tongue, licked its lips, and no longer showed a mocking look, indicating it accepted the name.

"Alright, you'll be called Black Panther then."

After saying that, Ye Qiu held Black Panther and left the underground palace with Fang Wushang.

Upon returning to the outside world, they found that the sky had completely darkened, and the wind was still bone-chilling. Ye Qiu activated the True Qi within him, forming a protective barrier to keep the cold wind at bay.

"Ye Qiu, look, there's a moon tonight!" Fang Wushang pointed at the round moon hanging in the dark sky and said, "Moreover, tonight's moon is really bright."

Ye Qiu looked at the round moon and nodded, "Didn't that immortal say something about beneath the moon? Do you think we can figure something out through the moon?"

"But the moon is so far from us, how can it be called beneath the moon!"

Ye Qiu looked at the moon and fell into deep thought. Mainly, he truly didn't understand what beneath the moon meant, what the idea of beneath the moon entailed?

"Ye Qiu, I have an idea." Fang Wushang looked at Ye Qiu and said, "Do you see how the moon seems like it's right above that high mountain?"
