From Stealing Hearts and Desires to Sainthood

An ancient mirror lets Gu An glimpse the thoughts of heaven, earth, and the human heart.

The wonders of heaven and earth, the desires and spirits of humankind: within the mirror's reflection, each thought takes the form of a demon or monster.

By killing them, Gu An can steal the knowledge people have accumulated over their lifetimes and obtain spiritual treasures nurtured by heaven, earth, and the human heart.

[Old Vulture: One who lives long is old; one who has endured for ages is old; one rich in experience is old. This vulture was born of human obsession and has grown alongside people's experience and wisdom through the long passage of time, making it steady and cunning with age.]

[You killed the "Old Vulture" and obtained the "Flying Duck Bow"]

[Fuxi: It looks like a rooster with a human face. Born of human bloodlust and the battlefield's murderous aura, it is an ill-omened bird.]

[You killed the "Fuxi" and obtained the "Demonic Weapon"]

[Yin Tiger: Born of the six yang energies of heaven and earth and human rage, it is a fierce beast, a manifestation of the harmony and creative power of heaven and humanity.]

[You killed the "Yin Tiger" and obtained "Six Yang Ice Mirror"]

[Heavenly Lake Luan Bird: Born of the purest auspicious energy of the Heavenly Lake. To see one is a great blessing.]

[You have earned the favor of the "Heavenly Lake Luan Bird" and obtained "Heavenly Mountain Inner Canon"]

Who knows the dragon and serpent's hundred-foot stature? They are the finest among all humanity.

Though I may be lowly as dust and mud, one day I too may stand equal to the sages and the heavens.
