In the end, only the members of the Takeda Family remained in the vast estate.
"Alright, let's discuss this when Akiko returns," Mrs. Takeda instructed. Now, her daughter had become the backbone of the Takeda Family.
"Okay!" the others replied. Although Kyouko was a woman, typically the men would not have accepted her leadership. However, today, since Kyouko had saved everyone's lives, the members of the Takeda Family could not help but regard her as the new Clan Leader.
Meanwhile, Takeda Kyouko personally drove Jiang Chen to the Takeda Family's company, with Tengye Kikuko accompanying them. Though she felt fear in her heart, curiosity outweighed it.
The Takeda Building was where the Takeda Family conducted their business. To own a skyscraper in Kyoto's prime city center spoke volumes about the family's financial power.
Takeda Kyouko led Jiang Chen and Tengye Kikuko to the top floor of the building via the elevator. Throughout the ride, no one spoke.
The rooftop of the building was not much different from those of other skyscrapers.
"Mr. Jiang, did my father really place the Kunlun Divine Mirror here?" Takeda Kyouko asked incredulously as she surveyed the rooftop.
The Kunlun Divine Mirror was a treasured heirloom of the Takeda Family; it seemed impossible that it would be stored in such a place.
Jiang Chen smiled and directed his gaze toward the tallest structure on the rooftop—a spherical object emitting a beam of red light into the sky. To outsiders, it appeared to be just an ordinary light fixture.
However, according to Takeda Dairo's memories, the Kunlun Divine Mirror was indeed hidden here.
With a swift motion, Jiang Chen struck out with his hand, unleashing a wave of azure energy that sliced through the spherical light fixture, splitting it in half.
As the light vanished, various wires were revealed alongside an ancient mirror that resembled an old bronze mirror. Jiang Chen reached out and grasped it from mid-air, examining it closely in the darkness.
The front of this bronze mirror was polished from a celestial stone, appearing like an amber lake surface; under slight movement, one could see ripples dancing upon it—truly beautiful. Jiang Chen focused intently on its surface and saw celestial maidens gracefully dancing upon the lake within; it was ineffably mysterious. The back of the mirror bore strange inscriptions and was embedded with various spiritual stones—indeed a magical artifact.
After inspecting it for a moment, Jiang Chen prepared to infuse his consciousness into the mirror to see who those celestial maidens were. However, as soon as his consciousness touched its surface, it was repelled back.
"Ah!" Jiang Chen exclaimed in surprise.
But soon after, a smile spread across his face. With his current cultivation level, ordinary magical artifacts could not block his consciousness; yet this Kunlun Divine Mirror managed to do so—it was undoubtedly not an ordinary item but a true treasure.
"Not bad!" Jiang Chen nodded slightly, relieved at last. The Kunlun Divine Mirror lived up to expectations and truly existed as a divine artifact, which made him even more excited about the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm.
He stored the Kunlun Divine Mirror in his Storage Jade Gourd and approached Takeda Kyouko with a smile. "Miss Takeda, you saved your clan's lives; however, it's unfortunate that your father is too stubborn. The Kunlun Divine Mirror originally belongs to Huaxia; your family took it from Huaxia back then. Now that I am taking it back, it's only right. Your father brought this upon himself; but this way is better—I see that among the Takeda Family, you are the only one who understands current affairs. From now on, you shall be the Clan Leader of the Takeda Family."
