The Forbidden Path to Immortality - Chapter 166

Chapter 2 Secret Method

“Hmm,” Shui Dielan said in surprise, turning around just in time to see Li Xun patting Youyi on the shoulder. Amidst the muffled sound, he said, “This is the first one…” Then he pointed at Yin Sanren, “The second one…” He paused, and in the half-bright sunlight shining on the two women, he pointed at Qingying on the bed, “That was the third one, but it was a one-sided effort. But at that time, success or failure was just a hair’s breadth apart, so I wonder if it’s a mark left behind when he left Beijing to refine the puppet?” Shui Dielan raised her eyebrows, her gaze sweeping across the three faces in the room, and she spoke in a long voice, “Now that you mention it, I’ve never heard you talk about such a bizarre thing as refining two Sanren at the same time. It’s not that I look down on you, let alone back then. Even now, you don’t have that ability!” “Indeed, what happened back then was not entirely a matter of luck, or perhaps it could be called fate’s will. Li Xun glanced at Yin Sanren and saw that she still had her brows lowered and her gaze concealed. He shook his head and said, “Though the battle between the two wanderers and the Three Tigers of Qingying was a great advantage for an outsider like me, I’m still the most important…” He tapped his lower abdomen, and a ball of grayish-white light suddenly emerged from his body, surrounded by thousands of auras. It slowly receded, revealing a transparent bead with cracks everywhere.

“This is the Tianming Huayin Pearl. If it weren’t for this, I wouldn’t be standing before you today.”

Shui Dielan sighed twice and stepped forward to examine it more closely. With her cultivation and knowledge, she could naturally discern the pearl’s preciousness, but soon she became suspicious. “How did it get into this state? Isn’t it Mi Gan’s fault?” Of course, this couldn’t be said. Li Xun simply said that it was due to the simultaneous refining of two puppets. The damage was too severe and it hadn’t recovered in decades.

After this, he selflessly recounted his fortunate acquisition of the pearl, how he had fortuitously used the nearly depleted sound-transmitting sand to gain information, and how he had used the pearl to unexpectedly subdue Qin Wanru, setting a deadly trap. Shui Dielan marveled at the details.

“God is truly kind to you, sir,” she said with a touch of admiration.

“The rest is fine, but you’re brave, careful, and willing to gamble. Only this Tianming Huayin Pearl is truly divine help. You also said that Gu Yin also practices the art of exorcism and ghost puppetry. Yet, you’ve been spared such a crucial treasure. Could it be that even the wisest can make mistakes?” Li Xun also found it strange, but he had the pearl in his possession. He didn’t dwell on it any further. “The details of this pearl hidden within the Dust Wind Pearl are only recorded in the Netherworld Records, so I imagine not many people know about it…” Shui Dielan’s curiosity was finally satisfied, and he got to the point. “At the time, I was also greedy. Seeing that Qingying and the other two were seriously injured, I wanted to take them down all at once. To refine the Netherworld Puppet, one must plant the Netherworld Seal to replace their own spiritual consciousness. Naturally, I planted it on all three of them. After that, it was a stalemate, and…” His words and movements suddenly froze. Shui Dielan glanced at him strangely, “What’s wrong?” Li Xun’s eyes shifted as he heard this, then he smiled again. “Nothing. I just remembered the situation back then. I felt something in my heart. Later, I subdued Xue Sanren first, then Yin Chonghua. When I mustered my remaining strength, my momentum had waned, and Qingying escaped.

“But the Netherworld Seal is, after all, a spiritual consciousness. This method is invisible and mysterious. Even if Qingying recovers and refines it, she might still feel it in the dark.” Given Qingying’s temperament, she absolutely refused to die in the filthy, dark Nine Netherworld. Before her death, she might have relied on this glimmer of connection to cling to me, perhaps even dropping anchor. Who knows when she’ll see the light of day again. Shui Dielan pondered for a moment, then gradually became convinced. “So that makes some sense.” Her insight suggested that the links connected, and she had a good grasp of the matter. Although the true answer might be lost, Li Xun considered it a complete solution.

He was about to inquire about the subtle meaning in Shui Dielan’s words when Yin Sanren, standing nearby, suddenly spoke up, “If you want to know the answer, it’s not impossible.” Li Xun and Shui Dielan both glanced over. Yin Sanren raised his face and smiled, “The master possesses a technique specifically designed to treat the loss of spiritual consciousness.” After a pause, she shifted her gaze to Qingying, her tone calm and composed, “Although her vital energy has been completely depleted, her vital energy remains, but her body remains untouched. This should be the perfect material for refining the Netherworld Puppet, right?” After a few decades, his mind will grow and his spiritual wisdom will be revived. Perhaps his memories of the past will be restored, just like mine.” Li Xun was shocked when these words came out, and then instinctively overjoyed. He was about to investigate the details when he felt the temperature in the room suddenly drop. He turned back in surprise and saw Shui Dielan’s eyes, as cold as needles, piercing Yin Sanren’s face.

But Yin Sanren just lowered his eyelids and stood still as a mountain.

Li Xun’s ecstasy suddenly subsided. He thought about it and turned to Shui Dielan as if he hadn’t heard anything. “I remember that Shi just mentioned Qing Yin’s…” He suddenly found that he didn’t know how to describe that statement and stopped talking midway.

Shui Dielan, however, understood clearly. She carried Shuanggan on her back and walked towards the courtyard. “Since you already have a plan, why are you listening to it?” “Plan? What plan can I have?” Li Xun smiled and repelled him, “My current plan is to find out the situation on Qingying’s side, so I want to ask for your advice.” Shui Dielan snorted coldly and still looked unconvinced, but she cooperated very well and moved sideways to signal Li Xun to come forward.

As Li Xun approached the yoke, she pointed at the strange hand seals formed by Qing Wan’s hands. “This is the ‘Dangling Life Seal.’ If my guess is correct, this should be the most suitable secret method for overcoming tribulations, the ‘Zhu Tian Mei Hua’ technique, suitable for egg-laying winged immortals to face tribulations. I need to consider it further… Hey, what the hell are you doing?” Upon hearing this, Li Xun raised his hand, distanced himself from Qing Wan’s chest, and said helplessly, “Sister, you should at least let me understand it, right? How can I not examine the details without understanding them?” [The text then abruptly shifts topics.] It focuses on annihilation, while attaching vitality, implying survival from death. However, this technique seems incomplete. The details of that secret method for overcoming tribulations, the ‘Zhu Tian Mei Hua’ technique, are unclear. How can I not examine the details without understanding them? You just mentioned what Yu Sanren used. ‘Xuan Ying overcoming tribulations… what’s the connection between the two?” “That’s a type of secret method for overcoming tribulations. In fact, whether orthodox or esoteric, as long as there are formulas specifically designed to deal with the various tribulations of sword, fire, water, wind, and thunder during cultivation, they can be called secret methods for overcoming tribulations. There are only differences in their levels.” “Shui Dielan said calmly, “It’s just that the various Tongxuan sects often scatter these techniques within their various cultivation methods, forming no system. Moreover, in recent generations, this method has become increasingly monotonous, and cases of feigned death and possession are always present. As such, the true art of transcending tribulations is now difficult for anyone to understand.” Li Xun let out a soft “oh,” his face showing a hint of interest: “What is the so-called supreme art of transcending tribulations?” “To transcend means to cross. It should be like crossing a ditch or a gap, and it should also be measured and calculated. One should know the favorable time and place, and most importantly, self-knowledge. One can adapt to the changes of tribulations, or respond to them and be reborn, or retreat to advance, or temper oneself, or achieve liberation. There are no fixed rules, but one must be able to push through, stop, and stand firm. Only in this way can one make further progress. “Shui Dielan spoke clearly, her enchanting blue lips slightly raised in arrogance, showing an even more domineering demeanor of the ultimate demon.

When she was excited, she even criticized the various sects: “In today’s world, there are only two things to do when encountering a disaster: either to hide your head and dodge, or to wait for death. It’s okay at ordinary times, but when you encounter a disaster like the forty-nine disasters, you can’t just build a nest and dig a hole. “If you hide your head this time, there will be no next chance. It’s ridiculous to shout that there is no way to ascend to heaven without knowing that you have sealed the door first. The demon woman’s tone is very strong, but Li Xun didn’t dare take it lightly.

A great demon like Shui Dielan, who had survived more than a dozen 49-fold tribulations and was still alive and kicking, truly had more say than any contemporary Grandmaster. Especially at Li Xun’s level, hearing these insightful remarks, gleaned from accumulated experience, would be of immense help in future cultivation.

What is the meaning of responding to tribulations and transforming into a new life? Yin Sanren, standing nearby, suddenly asked.

Li Xun turned back in surprise, only to see her eyes sparkle. Clearly, she had learned something.

Shui Dielan glanced at him and said expressionlessly, “Knowing it’s impossible, I still do it.” It is to “respond to calamity; to fight for a chance of survival; to survive from death is to “transformation.” In simple terms, it is to be reborn after being put in a desperate situation. Of course, the subtleties of it are not meant to be understood by outsiders.” As soon as the words fell, Li Xun asked, “What can be called striving for survival from death? Like Yu Sanren. Once the blood fusion technique is successful, giving birth to a mysterious infant. Can reincarnation be considered as responding to calamity and transformation?” “Your question is not very clever.” Shui Dielan stabbed him indifferently.

“Of course, reincarnation through possession isn’t inherently a big deal. One’s own fundamental Dharma body is the most suitable treasure for one’s cultivation, even if only a tiny fragment remains. Throughout history, few have achieved enlightenment through possession. This is certainly not without reason.” Li Xun was no blind believer. It occurred to him that this was perhaps the inherent thinking of demons like Shui Dielan. A prehistoric being like her, born from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, could never find a more suitable “vessel” than her own Dharma body. Therefore, everything rests on her original body, and the path of cultivation stems from this.

However, Li Xun’s current situation was similar to Shui Dielan’s.

After diligently cultivating the Blood Godson, his demonic form was completely different from his human form. Conventional tribulation-survival techniques were incompatible with him. He would consult Shui Dielan in detail on this matter.

He turned and saw Yin Sanren, lost in thought. A thought flashed through his mind, and he asked with a smile, “Mi is also one of the world’s top figures. What do you think of this?” Yin Sanren woke up at the sound and smiled in response, “Shuixianzi’s words are thought-provoking. Please feel free to enlighten me when you have time.” Shui Dielan remained silent, so Li Xun asked, “So, is Qingyuan’s use of the Zhutian Feathering Technique a sophisticated secret method for overcoming tribulations?” “Very sophisticated,” Shui Dielan concluded immediately. “From what I know, it’s one of the most sophisticated methods.” “You’re saying that if this method works smoothly, there’s a good chance Qingjia will be resurrected?” Shui Dielan shook her head, her expression darkening.

Li Xun didn’t understand what she meant, so he asked again.

Shui Die Lan seemed to have suddenly lost interest in talking and simply said, “The spell she used is incomplete and cannot be estimated.” Li Xun felt that Shui Die Lan’s casual response was too obvious. Just as he was thinking about how to ask her questions, he heard Shui Die Lan say again, “Last time, I said that when you come back, I have something important to tell you…” “Well, what is it?” Li Xun was actually a little guilty, at least after returning to Wuyinxuan. He hadn’t thought about this matter at all. Shui Die Lan’s eyes swept across his face, clearly indicating something, but she didn’t insist on it. She only said, “I want to take you somewhere. We originally had plenty of time, but with the Nine Nether Devouring Realm and Qingying’s incident, it seems we have to leave immediately.” Li Xun blinked and smiled, “Where to?” “A winding path leads to a secluded place.” Shui Die Lan’s words were understated, but Li Xun didn’t take them lightly. He paused, making sure he’d heard correctly, before chuckling, “That’s nothing.” He spoke in a teasing tone, but his heart was deeply solemn.

As Shui Dielan had said, with the changes to the Nine Nether Devouring Realm, the term “Qujing Tongyou” has likely reached an unprecedented level in the current Tongxuan Realm.

Unless something unexpected happens, the three-way standoff above the Xuanhai Sea has collapsed. Those plotting the Xuanhai treasure will have no choice but to turn their attention back and reorganize.

With all this back and forth, many things will change, and the ones bearing the brunt of the changes are undoubtedly the Southeast Forest Sea, Qujing Tongyou, and Wuyinxuan.

Hmm? That doesn’t seem right… Just as a sudden doubt was forming, Shui Dielan interrupted his train of thought, “Actually, Elder Qing also wants to see you. This could be considered an invitation.” Li Xun approached curiously, “The Qing Emperor’s descendant wants to see me.” Shui Dielan snorted, “Elder Qing won’t see you. Can’t you go see him? With Zhong Yin’s situation, Elder Qing is the one who needs your oversight. Besides, since you’ve taken over Wuyinxuan, you’re Elder Qing’s neighbor, and reciprocity is only natural.” Neighbor? Li Xun was stunned for a moment, then suddenly understood. He exclaimed in surprise: “Could it be that the location of the winding path is actually in the southeast forest?” Shui Dielan sneered: “You just found out?” Li Xun was stabbed and his mind suddenly became clear. Some accumulated doubts were solved: “No wonder I once looked for the route map of “Wuyin Xuanyou” left by Qu Zhuoyu in the pavilion but found nothing. It turns out that the connection between the two is not preserved in this way but is naturally connected… So the location is on the coast of the East China Sea. Shui Dielan was a little surprised: “How did you guess it?” “It’s just calculated according to the trend of the earth veins.” Li Xun felt a little excited. “Wuyin Xuan uses the stimulation of water veins and fire orifices as the basis for change, but it is still in the earth veins: and here the earth veins go to the middle of the seashore, and the other road goes straight into the deep sea mountain, leaving a blank section.

“I thought that was the natural end of the Southeast Forest Sea, but now I see. I’m afraid it’s the winding path leading to a secluded place.” “Now do you understand why I fought so hard to seize control of Wuyinxuan? As long as there’s an expert controlling this winding path, nothing can be hidden from anyone. Normally, there’s nothing to worry about. In recent years, Qinglao… well, some things should be discussed when we get to the place.” Her speech was intermittent. It was different from usual, as if there was something unspeakable. Li Xun knew that something was urgent and he had to give it to Shui Dielan. Without asking any more questions, he decided, “Okay, let’s go to the winding path, but… we can’t stay here right away. We have to stay a few days.” Shui Dielan was a little dissatisfied at first, but she quickly understood: “It’s about the Loose Cultivator Alliance, right? Humph, the 100,000 loose cultivators in Daqian Guangji City are just old tricks.” “That’s not to say. While our group might be inferior in strength, the Solitary Cultivator Alliance boasts far more elite cultivators. Besides, our small group has little wiggle room, so we always have to make arrangements beforehand.” Li Xun smiled faintly, his expression filled with unspeakable confidence and composure.

The Southeast Forest Sea has been resembling a watery marshland in recent days. The rising water levels of several major rivers within the forest collided with the scorching summer sun, creating a misty, stifling atmosphere.

Most within the forest simply cursed the weather and gave it no further thought. However, some cultivators skilled in forbidden techniques watched the rising water levels with trepidation, their gaze fixed on the rising waters daily. The number

of missing persons suddenly increased. Observant cultivators noticed that those they had just spotted had vanished in the blink of an eye.

Once or twice was fine, but after a while, rumors started to spread throughout the forest. Just in time, news of the Loose Cultivators’ Alliance’s massive southward march reached the area, sending panic swirling through the forest. “Have you reported to the Loose Cultivators’ Alliance?” “I did, but it wasn’t up to the standards for the Four Directions Guide… I heard that as long as you report, nothing will happen.” “That’s the rumor, but I don’t know if it’s true or not. By the way, have you heard that the major sects in the forest have been clearing out these days? Anyone not from a sect is expelled from the forest. Any resistance is annihilation. “Why isn’t the battle taking place on Xuanhai?” “Shao. You’re really out of touch! Rumors say a treasure has been found on Xuanhai. The masters of all the sects are rushing back. Hey, Fellow Daoist Pu, why are you sweating so hard?” “You two still in the mood to chat? The bloodbath is already flowing like a river in the east.” Some kind of evil spirit had befallen the Lu brothers, and they suddenly engaged in swordplay, driving dozens of people around them mad. It’s said the fog these past few days has contained a mind-destroying toxin, affecting all cultivators in the forest. “Fellow Daoists, hurry up! The Blood Demon has returned to the Southeast Forest to seal off Wuyinxuan. He’ll sacrifice the blood of billions of surrounding creatures to the demons, cultivating the Supreme Heavenly Demonic Art. If we don’t leave now, we’ll be annihilated, body and soul!” “Is this true?” “Is the Blood Demon not afraid that every one of the three million cultivators in this world will be killed and killed?” “Even now, it’s almost time. We need to escape…” Rumors quickly spread throughout the Southeast Forest.

Starting the next evening, thousands of cultivators fled every moment, while a similar number rushed into the source of the chaos like moths to a flame.

Unlike the Xuanhai, which was completely controlled by the Tongxuan sects and the loose cultivator alliance, the complex and vast Southeast Forest provided excellent protection for every speculator, making their returns possible.

Of course, facing the increasing external pressure, the average level of cultivators who remained also increased accordingly. The combined pressures of both inside and outside transformed the vast forest into a gigantic millstone. Amidst the deep rolling sound, it was enough to crush all flesh and blood into dust.

Li Xun stood at the very heart of Wuyinxuan, coldly observing the chaos displayed on the spectroscope.

Beside him, Shui Dielan grinned, feeling incredibly happy because she had instigated at least a third of the chaos. With minimal effort, she could unleash her masterful illusions, enough to cause these self-motivated cultivators to slaughter each other.

“We still need to control the degree of chaos. To keep this place, we have to take advantage of the situation. Scare these people off, but that would be disadvantageous to us.” “No need for you to waste your words.” Xishui Dielan, despite her injuries, was still having a great time. But right now, she was more interested in something else: “Are you having any problems? You won’t make things worse and cause a complete collapse here, will you?” “Outsiders, don’t interfere,” Li Xun retorted bluntly. “It’s better to retract those fanciful ideas. Otherwise, I won’t be responsible if anything goes wrong.” Shui Dielan curled her lips slightly and didn’t respond. Although she was still more uncooperative, it was much better than yesterday’s nonsense.

Li Xun still looked at her with some suspicion before activating the mechanism that controlled the entire forbidden spell and began to modify the original forbidden spell arrangement of Wuyinxuan according to the predetermined ideas.

This was a question that Li Xun only thought of when he used the spell to pass through the ghost road.

The original Wuyinxuan forbidden spell was indeed very easy to use, but there was almost nothing that belonged to him. Instead, it was full of traces of the Wuyin Sect, the previous owner, Qu Yuan. The taste of Qu Zhuoyu.

Just think about it and you will know that Wuyinxuan would not always be like this before Qu Zhuoyu. That is to say, Qu Zhuoyu has imprinted his own mark into it during the years he has been in charge, making Wuyinxuan a place that truly belongs to him.

Li Xun is not a person who underestimates himself. What Qu Zhuoyu can do, he can do too.

Of course, this is by no means something that can be accomplished in a moment. But just a few days are enough for Li Xun to add a touch of personality to Wuyinxuan. The simplest way is to inject an unprecedented “element” into the original forbidden structure.

Reminded by the Ghost Road, Li Xun quickly defined it as the almost inexhaustible Nine Nether Earth Qi.

In the past two years, he has taken advantage of the unique environment of this place for a long time. The connection between the Nine Netherworld Realm and the Tongxuan Realm draws a huge amount of Nine Netherworld Earth Qi into the earth veins that wind under the Southeast Forest Sea.

All the forbidden methods of Wuyinxuan come from the numerous water veins in the Southeast Forest Sea and the thirteen innate fire orifices that emerge from deep underground. The two interact to form a method of mutual generation and restraint of water and fire. However, its foundation is still the more original and powerful earth veins.

The Nine Netherworld Earth Qi that Li Xun recently injected is naturally compatible with the earth veins and is even more mysterious and profound. Under the premise of not causing the earth veins to reject it, it can become the best medium to enhance and unleash the potential of the earth veins.

Li Xun’s plan is to form a void rift under the Southeast Forest Sea similar to the bottom of Guimen Lake, with a relatively stable structure to connect with the Nine Netherworld Realm for a long time, while also enriching it. The interplay of forbidden techniques in Wuyin Pavilion.

This is an unparalleled project. What Li Xun is doing now is just the preliminary preparations.

In the eyes of experts, the changes in Li Xun’s control in the pavilion can almost be said to be a top-level demonstration of secret techniques. Its value is almost equivalent to showing people the three highest forbidden techniques in the Tongxuan Realm: “Transformation Star Codex”, “Return to the Mysterious Hands”, and “Silent Words”.

Unfortunately, Shui Dielan is undoubtedly a layman in forbidden techniques. After taking a few glances, she yawned in a very disappointing way. If the scene in the surrounding spectroscope was not very interesting, she would have gone back to practice and heal her injuries.

Just when she was bored, a figure flashed on the path on the opposite bank. Shui Dielan smiled at the sight of him. She clapped her hands and said like calling a puppy, “Come here, little girl.” “In the Wuyinxuan, only Yingning could be addressed like that by her. Although this young girl, who was only a few years old, had matured quite a bit in recent days, she was still an insignificant little thing in Shui Dielan’s eyes. To call her a pug for entertainment might be a bit too high.

Yingning was a child with extremely keen senses. When she heard Shui Dielan’s call, she obviously hesitated for a moment before walking back reluctantly.

“Water Fairy.” The little girl was a little timid and kept a distance from Shui Dielan intentionally or unintentionally.

Shui Dielan knew the little girl’s mentality very well but didn’t care. She was just bored and wanted to chat with Yingning. However, when Yingning approached, Shui Dielan suddenly remembered that Li Xun had been back for the past two days to repair the forbidden method and seemed to have not formally met the little girl.

Not knowing what was in her mind, she smiled and said, “Master Mi is back, why don’t you come forward to greet him?” Yingning was really obedient and bowed beside Shui Dielan and said, “Master. “Li Xun was dealing with the changing structure of Qi. He didn’t look back and just said “that’s all”. He seemed to be concentrating all his attention on the work at hand. He didn’t respond to Shui Dielan’s teasing of the little girl. However, in fact, he had devoted at least 30% of his energy to the little girl. Of

course, Yingning didn’t know this. She had gradually calmed down at this moment and just responded to Shui Dielan’s questions one by one. She was very steady. She was much better than the little girl who was at a loss but couldn’t hide her thoughts when Li Xun left.

This also made people have to admire Yin The way a lone man imparts knowledge and trains the younger generation.

Li Xun was curious about what the girl before him would look like in a few decades if things continued at this pace. Would she be another Qin Wanru, or someone more outstanding? Time passed as he worked and speculated. Shui Dielan rambled on for a while, but her interest waned. Seeing that Li Xun was really busy, she simply waved Yingning away. The little girl politely bowed to the two of them before leaving.

Shui Dielan looked at the little girl’s somewhat hurried figure. With a satisfied smile, she turned around and saw Li Xun grinning at her: “Why are you making things difficult for a child?” “What do you mean by making things difficult? You can’t even care about your beloved disciple?” Shui Dielan smiled and waved her hand. It sounded like a joke, but the listener would never miss the hidden emotion in her words. “She will probably be your close friend in the future. How can you succeed if you don’t build a good relationship now?” Li Xun knew that there was no point in talking to such a question, not to mention that he was feeling extremely guilty. Helplessly, he could only change the subject: “Yingning hasn’t gone out these two days?” “You have made major changes to the forbidden technique these two days, who knows what kind of paper leaks will come out? Yin Chonghua asked her to meditate at home, but the little girl is quite obsessed with you. How could Li Xun let her go back if she knew where to go? He just smiled and said, “She is interested in forbidden techniques, so… huh?” Sudden doubts interrupted his sentence. When Shui Dielan looked at him, he suddenly understood.

It turned out that the most striking thing about Yingning’s change was not her stability and maturity, nor her calmness and naturalness in killing people, but her changed interest in forbidden techniques. No matter how Li Xun changed his techniques, or how beautiful the scene on the spectroscope was, the little girl didn’t pay any attention to it and just responded to Shui Dielan’s teasing respectfully. The enthusiasm for forbidden techniques was like a fragile bubble that floated in the air for a while and then disappeared without a trace.

Li Xun sighed. He felt a slight touch in his heart.

This was the first time he had witnessed the interests and dreams of a child. Of course, he should think positively. This would also help Yingning to cultivate without distraction in the future. He just didn’t know if the incense words he said before leaving last time had worked or if Yin Sanren had really trained her well. He told Shui Dielan about this question, but Shui Dielan couldn’t give an answer. After all, she had been focusing most of her energy on healing during this period and had no time to keep watching the little girl running around.

She had always been unimpressed with forbidden techniques and said disdainfully, “So what if others are not interested? Your craft is just average. It’s complicated and tedious. Without prior preparation, you’re dead if you encounter a master. It can be used to seal the mountain gate, set an ambush, or fight in a group. These things can also be done with illusions. “As she spoke, she flicked her finger, and a streak of sparks flew across, seemingly aiming to strike the spectrometer. But before it touched the mirror, it suddenly broke through the void, miraculously appearing above the mirror’s surface and disappearing into the thick mist. As a result, the previously peaceful forest suddenly erupted in chaos. The cultivators within the fields within a radius of several miles seemed to be possessed by a demon, screaming and shouting like headless flies. After a few breaths, thousands of swords clashed, turning into a pot of porridge.

Shui Dielan glanced at Li Xun, who wisely did not argue or remind the demon woman that the method she had just used to reflect the world was completely forbidden. He had spent an entire day teaching her step by step.

Li Xun looked at the chaotic scene in the spectrometer and curled his lips slightly.

Shui Dielan’s move just now was still the peaceful method taught to her before, but it did not conflict with the now changed forbidden method, showing that the past two days’ work had not been in vain.

Li Xun was quite satisfied with this and nodded, saying, “It’s almost done. Let’s go to Qujingtongyou now and return early.”
