ion if they had charged in recklessly. However, Chuyun Sang's repeated interventions to rescue Zhao Nanzhang were a bit suspicious. Was Chuyun Sang's strategic vision truly that powerful, or was he pl..."Who!" The stunning woman suddenly opened her phoenix eyes. The surprise and shame in them vanished in an instant, replaced by a terrifying killing intent.

A slender jade hand gently slapped the surface of the water, causing countless springs to shoot up. A stunningly beautiful woman emerged from the misty water droplets, leaping gracefully. Her snowy white feet lightly touched the surface of the water before slipping into a flowing dress that enveloped her artistic figure like a masterpiece.

The woman's phoenix eyes flashed, her gaze piercing like a sword as she swept across the two-person-high odd stone by the hot spring. There, stood a young man with silver hair, staring dumbfoundedly at something.

“Scoundrel!” The stunning woman let out a sharp cry, raising her hand. A snow-white jade sphere rolled in mid-air, within which countless sword shadows danced and poured out.

A mighty river of swords poured down from the sky.

Lu Xiaotiantian instinctively reached out to summon his ethereal flying sword, but he found that his body was empty, and he couldn't mobilize the spirit artifact to defend himself at all.

I could only watch helplessly as countless sword qi pierced through my body.

...and the woman, her white jade feet and beautiful legs still exposed by the half-wrapped dress, also stared in astonishment at the scene before her. Even with her experience, she couldn't understand what was happening.

As his illusory figure was shattered, Lu Xia Tian's main body trembled, and his divine sense felt a sharp pain like needles. However, this pain only lasted for a few breaths before disappearing.

"This feeling was quite mysterious, even more so than when a nascent soul leaves the body. It was just an illusory shadow, yet it allowed me to clearly see everything in front of me through the shadow." Lu Xia Tian stroked his chin and began to continue researching the other incantations of this Shifting Mirror.

> After a quick look through the Moving Mirror, Lu Xia Tian found nothing impressive in terms of attack or defense techniques.

“Shift, this skill is truly a bit underwhelming. At least for now.”

After repeatedly studying it, he still couldn't find anything peculiar about it. Lu Xiaoteng couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He wondered if it was worth giving up the Lingmai Crystal Jade to get this Shifting Mirror in the first place.

Although Luo Ping'er's beauty was comparable to Su Qing, Lu Xiaoteng had no interest in such things. He wasn't the type to covet a beautiful woman's body or sneak peeks at her like those lecherous men.

“But that woman’s aura wasn't weak, she was already at the Nascent Soul mid-stage, and she couldn't even tell if this was an illusion or reality. This Shifting Mirror wasn't entirely useless after all.” Lu Xiaoteng thought again.

Retracting his divine sense, although he felt a tinge of regret in his heart, this was the effect of the Shifting Mirror, and Lu Xia Tian had no other choice. As Lu Xia Tian was about to retract his divine sense, he suddenly heard a voice filled with anger and surprise. Lu Xia Tian couldn't help but be startled. Could there be another presence within this strange space of the Shifting Mirror The space inside the Shifting Mirror appeared grayish-white and hazy, so much so that even with Lu Xia Tian's powerful spiritual essence, he couldn't see clearly. However, the angry voice just now made Lu Xia Tian extremely vigilant. After searching around, he indeed found a floating cage formed by dark gray energy currents, and within that cage, suddenly appeared the divine soul of Long Shi.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

“Is it you” From the Dragon and Lion Primordial Spirit, Lu Xia Tian could feel an extremely powerful pressure. The other party's level was completely different from his own. No wonder when Di Kun suffered, he didn't see the Dragon and Lion Primordial Spirit appear. It turned out that it had been captured by the Shifting Mirror into the mirror itself. It seems that this Shifting Mirror is also strange and peculiar, with such a special effect.

"How are you in here" The Dragon and Lion dashed back and forth within the cage, but were unable to break free. Seeing Lu Xiaoteng, they were even more surprised than he was.

“I don’t know either. My spiritual awareness wanted to enter this ancient mirror, so it came in.” Lu Xiaoteng shook his head.

“Is that so You little rascal isn't being truthful. If it were really like that, how come you weren't trapped Could it be that you've refined the ancient mirror” As a monster comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator, Long Shi wouldn't be fooled by Lu Xiaitian's words so easily.

"So what" Old humans are cunning, old spirits are shrewd. Except for some demons and ghosts born with extremely low intelligence, like the dragon and lion clans with their high intelligence, and this fellow who's lived for countless years, Lu Xia Tian was too lazy to waste any more time on such boring conversations.

“You actually refined that ancient mirror How did you do it” Long Shi’s eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Lu Xiaodao.

“Like refining artifacts normally, I just refined it directly after getting it. However, I know very little about this ancient mirror,” Lu Xiaodao said.

“In that case, as the master of this ancient mirror, you are also a great fortune. Perhaps it will be of great use in the future.” Hearing that Lu Xiaoteng had already refined the ancient mirror, Long Shi no longer said anything.

"By the way, is that little fellow you call Di Kun still alive"

“Dead, corrupted by the demon aura of the three-headed snake demon Biqiong.” Lu Xiaoteng’s voice was flat. His friendship with Dikun was only towards Dikun who had lost his memory. He had already let Dikun go once before, and the grievances between the two sides had long been cleared. And the transforming god-level powerhouse Longshi who helped Dikun recover his memory was the one who started it all. Lu Xiaoteng looked at Longshi with a few unkind eyes. Although Longshi’s primordial spirit was far stronger than him, he was trapped inside this ancient mirror. He was also like a tiger in troubled waters, helpless and vulnerable. There was no need to fear him too much.”

“Time and fate, the legacy of the Sacred Beasts falls again. If we cannot seize another opportunity within the Lingxu Secret Realm, then the fortunes of the Giant Stone Clan will come to an end.” Longshi sighed.

“Lingxu Secret Realm That mysterious place is actually the Lingxu Secret Realm” Lu Xiaoxiao’s expression was greatly shaken.

"A land where humans, ghosts, demons, and monsters battle for supremacy. Sealed for countless years, its reopening will inevitably usher in a period of great upheaval for this world, but it also presents a tremendous opportunity." Longshi said in a deep voice.

"An opportunity An opportunity to break through to the Nascent Soul stage" Lu Xia Tian's heart moved with excitement.

"It's more than just transcending the mortal realm. There's another secret about the Lingxu Secret Realm, one that would make any cultivator flock to it." Longshi's tone was full of meaning, but he stopped short of revealing more.

"What news" Lu Xiaodao said.

"Boy, I've lived for many more years than you. Some things I know can't be measured by spirits, especially about this Lingxu secret realm. You think that by doing nothing, I would tell you everything without reservation" Longshi's tone changed.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

"Conditions." Lu Xia Tian said directly.

"The first condition," Longshi said with a chuckle, "is to help me obtain a body."

“What can you give me” Lu Xia Tian sneered.

"If you want spiritual objects, it's quite simple. There are still some things to be taken from the ancestral arsenal of the Giant Stone Clan. Enough for you to reach the realm of a Great Cultivator, and even a herb that can help you break through to the Divine Transformation stage. How about it" said Longshi.

> That means we're going to have to visit the Stone Clan's ancestral armory.

"That's just how things are, or do you think spirits would fly over to see you on their own" Long Shi rolled his eyes. "Of course, you can take the benefits and then get me to do things for you."

Lu Xia Tian frowned. This monstrous creature, comparable to a God Transformation stage expert, was also the heir apparent of the Giant Stone Clan's inheritance martial arts treasure house. He definitely possessed many valuable things. Honestly, Lu Xia Tian naturally desired them. However, going to the Giant Stone Clan's inheritance martial arts treasury would be like entering their lair. And Long Shi, this powerful being comparable to a God Transformation stage expert, had some techniques that were beyond his current comprehension. With the spiritual materials for refining the Broken Realm Pill already in hand, and the need to find the ethereal sword embryo soon, there was no urgent need to rely on Long Shi's help.

"How is it The collective strength of the Giant Stone Clan is enough for you to cultivate to the Divine Transformation Stage, and the resources are also sufficient." Longshi saw Lu Xiaoteng remain silent for a long time, and spoke again.

"I have other things to attend to, and I'm not interested for the moment. See you later." Lu Xiaoxian's mouth twitched upwards. He continued to refine the sword embryo with his Lingmai crystal jade, or found a sparring partner for practicing the Ten Turns Rong Yuan Gong. Both would greatly enhance his strength. Why bother with this old monster for now Besides, after his strength increased again, he still had to find Luo Qian's whereabouts.

"You, what's wrong with you Don't you want to ascend to the Divine Realm If that's the case, first help me find a body. A Jiaolong or a Yaosi would do. Of course, it can't be of poor quality. If you can't find one, then find me a Thousand Machines Birth and Death Stone instead." Longshi saw Lu Xiaoteng's tone and immediately became anxious.

"Didn't Di Kun used to be with you Why didn't you take his body" Lu Xia Tian asked in surprise.

“How can I, who have lived for thousands of years, stoop to harming a junior like you Moreover, the Dragon and Lion clan has ancient rules and taboos. This method simply won't work,” roared the Dragon and Lion.

“I, I’ll keep an eye on things for you.” Lu Xia Tian nodded, intending to dangle the Dragon and Lion’s appetite first, lest he think himself superior and act like a senior. He had to make it clear that he wasn't entirely dependent on him, of course, especially since he currently had other options.

At this moment, both the dragon and lion could only watch with complicated expressions as Lu Xia Tian's primordial spirit disappeared. With a sigh, they could only lament their own tragic fate.

After withdrawing his divine sense, Lu Xiaitian secretly thought that the Shifting Mirror was quite good, able to capture the primordial spirits of dragons and lions. It seemed not as useless as he had previously thought.

>

“Huh” After putting aside the matter of the Dragon and Lion, Lu Xia Tian discovered that the black Shifting Mirror had turned gray. Lu Xia Tian felt a strange sense of familiarity towards this gray color.

“What’s going on” Lu XiaTian was full of questions. Besides this gray shifting mirror, there was also a small pool of black, flowing liquid at the bow where he sat. It looked like some kind of metal that had been melted. It was extremely viscous.

Lu Xiaotian's divine sense moved, and two stones of similar size appeared in his hand.

>

This gray stone was obtained when I returned to my hometown after successfully establishing my foundation in the Moonlit Cultivation Realm. I unexpectedly discovered that my father had been afflicted with a demonic parasite. Following this lead, I tracked down the culprit, a cultivator from the Southern Wasteland. I retrieved this stone from his storage pouch.

Another piece was in the mountain range near Xuan Ye City, where he fought a Black Wind Demon Python. That Black Wind Demon Python used the teleportation technique. If it weren't for Lu Xiaoteng already having a good foundation in physical cultivation back then, he would have likely been swallowed by the Black Wind Demon Python.

After killing the Black Wind Demon Python, Lu Xiaotian obtained the second piece of gray stone from its body. From this time on, Lu Xiaotian felt that the Black Wind Demon Python was just a sixth-rank demon python. How could it possess such a terrifying magical power like teleportation attack

Naturally, Lu Xia tian associated this gray stone with the instant teleportation spell. From then on, Lu Xia tian tried to use his divine consciousness to penetrate the gray stone, hoping to unravel its mystery.

At that time, Lu Xiaotian was only a Qi refining cultivator. As soon as his divine sense entered, it was severed, and the divine sense that entered naturally disappeared without a trace.

At that time, Lu Xia Tian only thought it was because his cultivation and divine sense were not strong enough. Even after reaching the Golden Core stage, this situation remained unchanged. It wasn't until he formed an infant soul that things changed.

Even with Lu Xia Tian's patience, he couldn't help but feel helpless. It had been so long that even his Zui Xian Wine was finished brewing now. Unfortunately, Zui Xian Wine could only allow Jindan cultivators to quickly recover their mana. Now that he had ascended to the Yuan Ying stage, he no longer needed this wine.

The drunken immortal's wine has already been brewed, yet Huíshí remains as stubborn as ever.

As for this, Lu Xia Tian was also at a loss. If not for the two gray stones having something extraordinary about them, he wouldn't have known even with his cultivation as a Nascent Soul cultivator. Mysteries are beyond understanding, and if it weren't so, Lu Xia Tian would have thrown them away long ago.

Unbeknownst to him, this refinement of the Translocation Mirror revealed that its material was identical to that of the gray stone.

Lu Xiaitian once again used his divine sense to control the Displacement Mirror, discovering that it could be used at will. As he entered the gray stone with his divine sense, in an instant, his divine sense was severed.

"As expected."

Lu XiaTian's face showed a thoughtful expression, he swept his hand by his side, and the black liquid flowing on the deck was absorbed into his palm. This black liquid was like mercury, rolling in his palm, yet it wouldn't flow away like water directly.

"It's a matter of yes or no, find someone to come over and try it," Lu Xiaoxiao muttered to himself. An identical shadow to his body rose from him, just like before, drifting towards Yu Ya's residence. With previous experience, he was much more familiar with the use of the Shifting Mirror this time.

Lu Xia Tian skillfully moved through several layers of buildings, discovering that although he could pass through them, his figure seemed to fade slightly.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

It seems this displacement projection isn't all-powerful after all. Lu Xiaoteng thought to himself secretly. However, the ability of this displacement projection is already magical enough. If it weren't for the use of the displacement mirror, even a great cultivator probably wouldn't have this kind of ability.

I arrived very easily at the residence of Duchess Yu Ya, a place adorned in luxury with jade-carved railings. What was even more vibrant and lively was Duchess Yu Ya herself, lying naked on a fragrant bed, her jade body exposed. She appeared to be in good spirits, showing no trace of recent grief over her husband's death.

"It seems that Yu Ya and the Prince of Changning have no feelings for each other. Otherwise, they wouldn't be like this." Lu Xiaoteng stroked his chin, and Yu Ya's reaction seemed to be much duller than the woman who had taken a bath before.

After a good while, she realized something was amiss in her boudoir. She jumped up in alarm, grabbing a light gauze curtain from the bed to cover herself. To her surprise, standing not far away was Lu Xia Tian. Unable to help herself, she covered her mouth and smiled, moving the gauze aside, exposing herself to Lu Xia Tian. "Master," she said, "if you wish to see my body, simply ask, there's no need to sneak into my boudoir."

“Come quickly to the pleasure boat on the lake,” Lu XiaTian felt a bit awkward. Today was truly strange, using the Shifting Mirror twice and seeing such captivating scenes both times. Though County Princess Yu Ya’s beauty was slightly inferior to that of the stunning woman he had seen before, her voluptuous figure, languid expression, and alluring gaze were even more enticing.th the wind, as if they had never been in this world.And those areas stretching for tens of thousands of miles, with their vegetation, mountains, rivers and stones, were also turned to ashes under thi...
