Chapter 248: Chapter 215: The Backup of the Profound Vagina Door_2
In a moment, Lu Yan transformed into a streak of light and flew into the distance, leaving behind a world without the slightest change.
...
Half a day later, an elderly man wearing the Qiankun Robe, with a dignified aura, stepped out from the void and appeared in this world before the eyes, his cultivation unexpectedly at the Nascent Soul Realm.
In a place even farther, a colossal object broke through the sea of clouds, causing ripples to undulate layer by layer.
This was a Dharma Ship resembling an ancient divine mountain, its hull densely covered with intricate and profound Array Patterns, each rune circulating with a spiritual light that made one’s heart tremble. As many as a dozen Cyan Robe Golden Cores sat cross-legged at various nodes on the ship, the magical power surging around them, shining like bright stars in the night sky.
Wherever the Dharma Ship passed, the void trembled and the sea of clouds parted.
This was the Cyan Simurgh Sect’s treasured Dharma Ship, Receding Heaven, requiring at least ten Golden Core cultivators to operate.
The cost of a Receding Heaven Dharma Ship even surpassed three Nascent Soul Treasures, and once fully activated, it could even contend against a Nascent Soul True Monarch.
The Receding Heaven Dharma Ship gradually halted in this sea of clouds, and a man dressed in cyan robes, holding a Treasure Mirror, disembarked from the ship.
"Greetings, Uncle Master Zhu!"
True Monarch Zhu glanced meaningfully at the Receding Heaven Dharma Ship and remarked:
"Bringing out even the Receding Heaven Dharma Ship, it seems the Law Enforcement Hall is taking Xiao Han’s demise very seriously."
"Elder Xiao, after all, was an elder of our Cyan Simurgh Sect. Although he committed some mistakes, he absolutely cannot die unclear on the way to the South Sea Sea Eye."
True Monarch Zhu remained noncommittal to this argument, speaking in a flat tone:
"I arrived a few breaths before you and attempted to search the traces of this world, but everything remains as usual, without any traces.
Don’t bother with ordinary methods, directly use the Reflector Mirror to trace causality and confirm the identity of the perpetrator."
The Cyan Robe Golden Core nodded, raising the Treasure Mirror, carved like jade, to this world before them.
The Reflector Mirror was once a Spirit Treasure of Divinity Transformation, but after being heavily damaged in a great battle, it lost its offensive abilities.
Though it no longer possessed its former divine might, the Reflector Mirror was still once a Spirit Treasure of Divinity Transformation and retained the marvelous ability to penetrate evils and trace causality.
As the Reflector Mirror’s surface shone upon this world, lines of causality began to manifest, intertwining endlessly into all things within the universe, the Reflector Mirror attempting to lock onto the causality regarding Xiao Han’s death.
But the image within the Reflector Mirror lasted less than a second before it shattered, and the surface remained the same, showing no anomalies.
"How is this possible!"
The expression of the Cyan Robe Golden Core changed drastically, gripping the Reflector Mirror tightly in disbelief.
In his two hundred years of holding the Reflector Mirror, it was the first time he encountered such an occurrence.
True Monarch Zhu paid no heed to it, speaking in a chilly voice:
"There’s nothing impossible, it’s merely a technique amongst Merit Divine Techniques or some other kinds of Divine Techniques to sever causality.
However, just with these things, it’s not enough to kill an elder of my Cyan Simurgh Sect."
As he finished speaking, True Monarch Zhu grasped the Reflector Mirror with his left hand, pouring in an immense amount of magical power.
In that instant, divine light radiated, even causing the void to tremble; the strike of a Nascent Soul True Monarch made this Spirit Treasure of Divinity Transformation begin to show a glimpse of its former glory.
"Tracing causality, penetrating evils, these are merely the most basic uses of the Reflector Mirror.
The Reflector Mirror is so named as a True Immortal bestowed it with the Celestial Spirit Great Divine Techniques of Returning Wind and Returning Fire, granting it the power to turn back time.
Though destroyed in the battle and unable to reverse present-day time, it can still reflect the past in the Mirror."
As True Monarch Zhu finished speaking, the scene in the Reflector Mirror began to change, the world within the Mirror seeming to be rewound, the Receding Heaven Dharma Ship and True Monarch Zhu’s figure all distinctly visible.
As time moved backward, a vague shadow began to appear within the Mirror’s scene, the vast black and gold cloud mist obscuring the sky, occupying the entire Reflector Mirror.
In the center of the black-gold interwoven cloud mist, a figure stood proudly, and even the Reflector Mirror was unable to penetrate its true appearance, glimpsing only a blurred silhouette.
"Indeed!"
True Monarch Zhu’s eyes narrowed as he began to increase the infusion of Magical Power into the Reflector Mirror. The black-gold interwoven mist was continuously pierced by the Reflector Mirror, and the silhouette shrouded in the center of the mist gradually became clear.
As time ticked by, a Nascent Soul expert can borrow the Power of Heaven and Earth. As long as the connection with the heavens and the earth is not severed, their Magical Power is nearly infinite.
However, to manipulate the Divinity Transformation Spirit Treasure, the Reflector Mirror, with a Nascent Soul body is like pouring water from a cup into a pond.
True Monarch Zhu could clearly sense that the speed at which he replenished his Magical Power was far behind the depletion caused by the Reflector Mirror, and his Magical Power was depleting at a visibly rapid pace.
Yet, the silhouette in the image remained shrouded by a mist-like thin veil, as if one more step forward would reveal the truth behind the mist.
Having reached this point, even if True Monarch Zhu was dull, he could see that something was amiss.
The seemingly thin layer of mist was actually a disguise, constantly enticing him to increase the consumption of Magical Power, yet it could not truly penetrate this guise.
"Outrageous!"
True Monarch Zhu was furious and spoke to the Cyan Robe Golden Core beside him:
"Activate the Heaven-Escaping Dharma Ship and gather the True Essence of the ship to assist me in wielding the Reflector Mirror. I want to see who dares to mock my Cyan Simurgh Sect like this!"
The Cyan Robe Golden Core followed orders and flew back to the Heaven-Escaping Dharma Ship. This immense Cyan Wujin Heavy Artifact slowly initiated.
Around the Dharma Ship, cyan Spiritual Light interwove into a net, transforming into a vast screen of light. Every change in the external Spiritual Qi would ripple upon the light screen, as crystalline as jade.
At the bow, there was a carving of a Cyan Simurgh Divine Beast, which, under the infusion of Magical Power from various Golden Core True Beings, seemed intelligent and ready to fly, emitting a clear and melodious cry.
Numerous profound Array Patterns were engraved on the surface of the giant ship, slowly activating. The interconnected Array Patterns formed a massive composite array, perfectly merging the auras of more than ten Golden Core True Beings. The solidified power was like a celestial waterfall pouring down from the sky, all injected into the Reflector Mirror in True Monarch Zhu’s hand.
With the support of the Heaven-Escaping Dharma Ship, the previously depleted Magical Power within True Monarch Zhu finally eased. The Divinity Transformation Spirit Treasure Reflector Mirror once again emitted divine light, and warped time continuously impacted the layer of black-gold mist.
An invisible large hand was incessantly peeling away the black-gold mist. Time in reverse within the mirror, the power of the Reflector Mirror seemed to intimidate all under heaven, revealing fragments of broken Heaven and Earth Rules within the mirror.
The next second, the black-gold mist was finally broken open, revealing the truth entwined in the clouds and mist.
Yet, when everyone saw the outline within the black-gold mist clearly, they were all stunned.
Because in the center of the mist was not the blurry silhouette they had seen earlier.
It was a towering stone gate standing in the void, its entire body presenting an ancient gray-white. The ancient years had settled within, and the mystical patterns on the portal seemed to still retain a slight, ephemeral Dao charm. Just a rough glance invoked awe in the heart.
But in the time-reversal, the stone gate was not the focal point. More striking was the black-gold banner penetrating entirely through the stone gate.
The Soul Banner displayed a profound black-gold luster; mysterious runes on the banner face flowed like a star river, and a majestic continent appeared faintly. Auspicious purple qi swirled around the edges of the banner, intertwined with liquid-like gold threads, forming Dao patterns that rivaled the creation of the heavens.
"This is..."
True Monarch Zhu’s expression was stunned, and in an instant, several Soul Banner-like Spirit Treasures and even Immortal Artifacts flashed through his mind, yet none matched this black-gold banner.
When True Monarch Zhu peered at the Human Emperor Banner through the Reflector Mirror, Lu Yan, who was heading towards a branch of the Taiyi Sect, abruptly stopped. For some reason, he felt a sense of being watched emanating from the Human Emperor Banner.
"Is it the Profound Vagina Door at it again?"
Lu Yan decisively projected part of his consciousness into the Human Emperor Banner, collecting the massive Human Emperor’s Qi within the banner and tracing it toward the direction of the watcher.
In the next instant, the time-reversal scene within True Monarch Zhu’s Reflector Mirror vanished, replaced by a pair of eyes formed by the condensation of Human Emperor’s Qi.
Those eyes were calm and dead silent, as if transcending all things, making everything in the world seem trivial as ants.
When the transcending eyes manifested across time and space, the originally reversing time within the mirror suddenly collapsed.
The twisted time even rippled through reality, as if the Reflector Mirror had instantaneously experienced the vicissitudes of thousands of years. The Divinity Transformation Spirit Treasure carved from Kunlun Immortal Jade began to decay under the lengthy erosion of time.
The Spiritual Light dimmed, scattering across the jade stone marked by the mottled traces of age erosion, and even the Spirit Treasure’s True Spirit eroded away into extinction over prolonged time.
A gentle breeze passed, and the Divinity Transformation Spirit Treasure in True Monarch Zhu’s hand turned to dust, silently dispersing into the world.
