Chapter 582 - 354: The Dead Before Us, Inverting Cause and Effect

The Haotian Mirror, in a certain sense, is a supreme treasure belonging to the same level as the Chaos Bell and the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

And with Zhang Fusheng’s current cultivation, he could barely reach the threshold to activate this supreme treasure.

Thus, at this moment.

Under Shen Baobao’s dazzled gaze, the great mirror was shining,

In the reflected light, the two grim skeletons slightly lowered their heads, yet at this moment,

At this moment, some vague images could be seen being reflected onto the Haotian Mirror; Zhang Fusheng squinted his eyes and looked up.

What was revealed was a desolation.

In the desolation, He saw twisted, illusory beings walking on the earth,

The earth was dead silent, without a trace of life, mountains were fractured, vegetation withered, and even the suspended sun was silent, its light nearly nonexistent.

And the twisted, illusory beings lightly placed a palm down.

The cracked earth, already devoid of life, suddenly tore open violently,

Two powerful entities hidden beneath the earth tried to escape, yet could not, and under the pull of terrifying aura, they shattered into pieces—the scene ended there.

"So, these two grim skeletons were forged by that twisted, illusory being?"

Zhang Fusheng murmured in his heart, once again illuminating the past of the grim skeletons, and then again, over and over.

After the Haotian Mirror continuously reflected the skeletons’ past over ten times,

Zhang Fusheng’s movements slowed down, and a look of deep contemplation appeared on his face.

The Sun.

The sun from that past was deep and black silent, devoid of blazing light, only having a deep and profound color—it was clearly the great sun of the Netherworld!

That twisted, indistinct being, seeming to exist and yet not exist, killed the two powerful entities in the Netherworld,

And the features of those two powerful entities were very clear, one dressed in white robes, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, the other in black robes, with a long beard nearly dragging on the ground.

"Did it happen in the Netherworld at least ten thousand years ago?"

Zhang Fusheng murmured in his heart, furrowing his brows tightly, for He did not understand this Douluo Palace, nor the two grim skeletons.

Silent, silent.

After a long time.

Zhang Fusheng firmly remembered the form of the Netherworld reflected by the Haotian Mirror,

Although the mirror showed an extremely desolate landscape, with no sign of life, not even ghosts or evil spirits to be seen,

Yet some fractured mountains nearby were very distinctive, especially the only intact peak among them,

Towering into the clouds, piercing the sky, yet revealing a bit of divine splendor, clearly an extraordinary divine mountain.

At that time, He would simulate this divine mountain and ask the Taiping Daoist Lord to identify it, perhaps gaining some insight.

After gathering His scattered thoughts,

Zhang Fusheng, holding the Haotian Mirror in one hand, looked up at the trembling Shen Baobao and spoke gently:

"Little girl, I have a favor to ask of you."

Shen Baobao shuddered, quickly giving a salute:

"Just listen to the ancestor’s instructions."

Zhang Fusheng replied calmly:

"After you leave this place, please go to the side of that Zhang Director you mentioned."

"I will leave an imprint in your Divine Realm, at that time, you can directly activate the imprint, and I will emerge... but not now."

After thinking for a moment and estimating roughly the time, Zhang Fusheng added:

"Set the time between half a month and a month from now... during this period, you must stay in this Douluo Palace, to prevent any unexpected situations arising from leaving prematurely."

He thought clearly, since that so-called Zhang Director could send two powerful grim skeletons,

there might be a great Divine Power User.

And after obtaining the Yuan Yin of the Six Desires Celestial Maiden, He had already reached the limit of the Great Power level, with one foot in the ranks of the great Divine Power Users,

All that remained was the last half step.

In as short as ten days to half a month, and no longer than a month, He might just achieve the realm of a great Divine Power User,

And relying on His various mastered divine techniques and marvelous techniques, especially the newly acquired "All Causes = Effects,"

The typical old great Divine Power Users may not be His match!

In the midst of His thoughts, Zhang Fusheng saw Shen Baobao timidly responding in salute, and then the other seemed to recall something and spoke:

"By the way, ancestor."

After pondering for a moment, Shen Baobao briefly recounted the instructions given by that Zhang Director.

"Oh?"

Zhang Fusheng felt a bit of interest, searching for an object of suppression in the depths of the Douluo Palace?

Interesting.

This Zhang Director seemed quite knowledgeable about Douluo Palace...

Zhang Fusheng pondered for a moment, suddenly looking at the two grim skeletons, and tried to ask:

"What is the identity of the person who sent you here, and what is your relationship with them?"

Although the grim skeletons had the same cultivation as they had in life, they lacked complete soul spirits, inherently defective, and with incomplete intelligence,

Therefore, Zhang Fusheng held no high hopes, it was merely an offhand question.

However.

The grim skeleton formed from the sharp-eyed and bright-eyed one on the left slowly opened its mouth:

"Zhang Xunzu... Zhang Family’s... Patriarch..."

"We were ordered to protect the Zhang Family and obey the Zhang Family Patriarch’s commands..."

Its voice was wooden, speaking intermittently, but the general meaning was clear, Zhang Fusheng was slightly surprised:

"Ordered? Whose order did you follow?"

This time, the grim skeleton formed from the long-bearded one on the right answered:

"Followed... Followed the order of the person who issued the command..."

Shen Baobao’s mouth twitched, and Zhang Fusheng also resisted the urge to slap His forehead.

What the heck??

He furrowed His brow slightly, vaguely seeming to catch some pattern; although the grim skeletons had incomplete intelligence,

They could be barely communicated with, but whenever it involved certain matters, communication would become impossible—
