1095: Chapter 284 1095: Chapter 284 Xiang Ziyu descended from the Rainbow Bridge at his fastest speed, but he felt that his feet did not land on the ground but on a cloud.
This Rainbow Bridge seemed to truly connect to the horizon, not the earth.
And in front of him, on the cloud-like path, an Illusionary Shadow had already appeared.
He looked at the Illusionary Shadow in front of him and was momentarily stunned.
“Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pills?
Shouldn’t you be Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection?”
When he entered the Sky-splitting Formation, he had been at the stage of Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection!
The Illusionary Shadow opposite him shook its head gently and asked in return, “Why should I be at the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection?
I’m based on your Cultivation Base.
Since you are at the Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pills stage, naturally I am too.”
Xiang Ziyu felt completely overwhelmed.
So, this Illusionary Shadow, which is the Mirror Image his master spoke of, is not based on his state when he first entered the Sky-reaching Formation, but on his state at each checkpoint he enters?
But if you’re based on my strength, why aren’t you based on my current injured state, but instead on the full strength of my Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pills era?
As soon as I stepped into the Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pills stage, I was seriously injured.
I didn’t even know how strong I should be at that stage.
How did you know?
Are you guessing, or is there some other way?
And in my current state, how can I fight you?
Xiang Ziyu had previously planned everything perfectly; he would use his verbal evasion skill to make the Illusionary Shadow self-explode a Golden Core, then naturally, he would win and be able to ascend the Rainbow Stairs—a feat no one had achieved in tens of thousands of years.
Now, what do I do?
The Illusionary Shadow is also at the Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pills stage, how can I fight?
The Illusionary Shadow opposite saw the weakened state of Xiang Ziyu, yet it did not strike immediately.
Instead, it spoke in a low voice to Xiang Ziyu, “You are injured, and after so many years, you finally made it here.
I won’t take advantage of you.
I’ll wait for you to heal before we duel.”
Upon hearing this, Xiang Ziyu was taken aback.
Was this Illusionary Shadow really so honorable, even allowing him time to recover from his injuries?
Under normal circumstances, facing his own Mirror Image at full strength, although confident in winning, he hadn’t been sure of instantly defeating his opponent.
But now, the Mirror Image was giving him time to heal, providing him with an opportunity.
He could take his time to recover.
After all, the Mirror Image said it would only act when he was fully healed.
When would he be fully healed?
That was for him to decide.
He could take this time to continue cultivating the Yin Yang Qi, to practice the Eight Nine Mysterious Art.
Before, when Xiang Ziyu had tried to cultivate the Eight Nine Mysterious Art and found he couldn’t progress, he realized the problem himself—it was likely due to the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth.
If he continued to advance in the Eight Nine Mysterious Art, it would entirely breach the limits of the Golden Core Period, so the Heavenly Dao did not permit him to continue.
But now, having self-destructed a Golden Core, he was no longer at the Golden Core Period Limit, and thus he could naturally practice the Eight Nine Mysterious Art.
After all, his master had said that since he had entered the Rainbow Bridge, others could no longer enter the Sky-reaching Formation.
His master was also unable to enter this Sky-splitting Formation, and he was already guaranteed victory, so what was the rush?
He could just take his time to cultivate.
Xiang Ziyu settled down and even gave a thumbs up to his Mirror Image across from him, “Fair play, don’t worry, I won’t make you wait too long.
I’ll definitely recover from my injuries as fast as I can.”
Having said this, Xiang Ziyu began to operate his Cultivation Technique.
It was not to heal his injuries, but to start cultivating the Eight Nine Mysterious Art.
Cao Zhen watched Xiang Ziyu and didn’t believe for a second that his Disciple would recover quickly.
Moreover, even if Xiang Ziyu did heal fast, he had entered the Rainbow Bridge, which for three thousand years no one had been able to trigger.
Even if he ultimately failed, he would certainly be able to join the Cloud Reaching Sect.
But now, because of Xiang Ziyu, he himself couldn’t enter the Sky-reaching Formation, which was most troublesome.
Cao Zhen left the China Cloud and started to think, how could he join the Cloud Reaching Sect?
As the Master, he couldn’t just lose to his Disciple like this.
It seemed the official channels were already closed to him, so he needed to find another way, or should he just scale the wall and get in?
Cao Zhen looked around.
Although he was extremely knowledgeable about Formations, the Mountain Protection Array in front of him belonged to a Sect and had existed for at least a million years.
Any weaknesses or problems with this Great Formation would have been discovered and fixed long ago.
How could he break in then?
Cao Zhen walked around with a headache.
Inside the Cloud Reaching Sect, disciples from various Great Teachings and Immortal Sects in the Eastern Province had gathered.
In the Reversal Mini Epoch Period, like the Immortal Sects in the Eastern Wasteland, those in the Eastern Province also arranged for temporary upper echelons.
As the Rainbow Bridge arose, the temporary leaders within the Cloud Reaching Sect were immediately informed of the news.
“The Rainbow Bridge?
Who has triggered the Rainbow Bridge?”
“Someone triggered the Rainbow Bridge, and that’s good news for our Cloud Reaching Sect.”
“Elder Li, please go to the Sky-splitting Formation and wait.
Even if the other party cannot trigger the Rainbow Stairs, anyone who can trigger the Rainbow Bridge is an honored guest of our Cloud Reaching Sect.
After that person leaves the Sky-splitting Formation, our Cloud Reaching Sect’s grand meeting will surely not have started yet.
Then, Elder Li, we will trouble you to arrange a place for that honored guest.”
