Chapter 194

Old Lady Meng was struck dumb. Legend had it that the Ascension Bracelet was invented by a mighty being in the heavens. Nobody knew exactly who this being was, as the celestial authorities believed that revealing the inventor's identity would compromise their safety. One could never be too careful; what if some formidable demon or monster were to abduct this master and force them to forge more of these bracelets? That would hardly be fair to others striving for immortality. Thus, the Ascension Bracelet remained a rarity, with the same piece appearing only once every thousand years. Old Lady Meng stared at Li Baoying’s reflection in the mirror, eager to see what someone wearing the Ascension Bracelet would feel. It was said that those not recognized by the bracelet would be punished by it, though no one knew the nature of that punishment. Once the punishment was dealt, the bracelet would fall away and vanish, wasting a millennial opportunity. The wearer would then be plagued by illness and meet a grim end.
