Sun Luyuan scrutinizes fragmented intelligence on the enigmatic Holy Dynasty of Great Qi, suspecting its unnatural rise and potential infiltration into the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance. Reflecting on the Tianxuan Mirror's rational deductions and its deliberate limitations imposed by human rulers, he tempers his ambitions and resolves to observe developments cautiously. Turning to his recovering brother Sun Luyao, he explains their mission to uncover the Tianxuan Mirror's human clone amid suspicions of Mirror Holder Cang's wavering loyalty, then initiates a risky peering session that yields promising clues about the clone's existence.

Chapter :

Seconds ticked away one by one, and beads of cold sweat began to trickle down Sun Luyuan’s forehead.

Sun Luyao, his younger brother, looked like he was barely holding back his urges as he frantically scanned for details about the Tianxuan Mirror’s clone.

“It is not enough!”

Noticing that Sun Luyao showed no signs of halting, a spark of resolve appeared in Sun Luyuan’s gaze. Right then, he pulled out the small Tianxuan Mirror anyway.

Deprived abruptly of something to consume, Sun Luyao flew into a rage just like earlier.

“Not enough! I want more!”

“Brother, save me!”

Ultimately, only Sun Luyuan’s vital blood essence managed to calm his turbulent feelings gradually.

Like someone who had endured a severe ordeal and clawed his way back from the brink of oblivion, Sun Luyao’s dim silhouette now seemed frailer than ever before.

He let out a feeble sigh: “Brother, you acted too quickly. It was just a bit more…”

“It’s preferable to fail than to get caught. Hold on, you mentioned…” Sun Luyuan started to respond, then abruptly caught on to his brother’s implication.

Sun Luyao gave a nod and shared some visions: “That wasn’t just a made-up reason to consume further. This round, we actually struck gold and snagged potential intel on the Tianxuan Mirror’s clone in a single attempt.”

“Unfortunately, the moment I detected the clone’s exact position and true nature, you severed the link.”

A hint of disappointment colored Sun Luyao’s voice, yet there was no accusation.

“Carving out a personal path toward liberation. So the Tianxuan Mirror secretly created a clone ages ago, not merely to break free from the Immortal Alliance’s grip, but also to attain a different kind of ascension?” Sun Luyuan could hardly believe it.

Yet another revelation in the gathered data stunned him further, making him momentarily lose his cool.

“Reverse-consume the Mirror Holder, turning them into a mirror slave?”

Remembering Lord Fu’s earlier comments on Mirror Holder Cang’s odd behavior and the implications left hanging in Fu’s remarks, Sun Luyuan pieced it together instantly.

“So Fu himself had been marked by the Tianxuan Mirror for domination once, but he probably got away by chance and avoided full subjugation. That’s why he doubts Cang, another Mirror Holder.”

“Overseeing and commanding the Tianxuan Mirror comes with the danger of being commanded right back. Should this secret slip out, the whole Mirror Holder line might face total annihilation. It could even spark chaos across the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance…”

Contemplating the dire fallout if this truth surfaced, Sun Luyuan shivered inwardly.

At the same moment, he vowed decisively: “No way. I’d take Fu’s punishment over revealing I know this. If not, to safeguard their authority, Fu and the rest of the Mirror Holders would eliminate us to keep it buried.”

“That’s it. This ends now. The Tianxuan Mirror’s clone doesn’t concern our Sun family. Brother, take some time to recover. I’ll handle excuses with Lord Fu.” Sun Luyuan’s face grew stern as he declared it icily.

“Brother? But this is such a prime chance…” Sun Luyao blinked in surprise and confusion.

Sun Luyuan offered no clarification, instead letting his determined stare convey everything.

In the brothers’ dynamic, the older one always called the shots. Faced with this, Sun Luyao had no choice but to yield.

After soothing his sibling a bit longer, Sun Luyuan departed the hidden room, burdened with grave concerns.

Following a prolonged quiet.

“My lord, you witnessed it all. This isn’t my fault.” Sun Luyao spoke with a touch of urgency, confessing to Li Fan.

“It is fine. Your brother is quite the figure.” Li Fan replied calmly.

Li Fan wasn’t overstating it.

Maintaining composure, reasoning clearly, and opting for the wisest decision amid Li Fan’s clone technique’s sway, the pull of familial bonds, and the allure of such colossal revelations.

The Sun family leader was genuinely impressive.

Moments ago, during the link with the small Tianxuan Mirror and glimpse into its depths.

The pilfered data wasn’t about the Tianxuan Mirror’s clone, of course.

Li Fan already knew where the Tianxuan Mirror’s clone hid. Dropping a few hints sufficed to fool them.

He’d planned to leverage this earth-shattering mystery to arrange a direct encounter with Mirror Holder Fu.

Yet Sun Luyuan’s sharp judgment thwarted Li Fan’s scheme temporarily.

Still, Li Fan remained unperturbed.

“This was just sowing a seed today. Time stretches before us. Chances will arise soon enough.”

“Plus, the objective here has been met.”

Li Fan reviewed the authentic details the Boundless Mirror had just uncovered.

“Grand Formation of the Primordial Mystic Spirit: reshape earth, fire, water, and wind from nothingness, parting the heavens and cleaving the land, forging a new realm…”

“A power like that rivals the deities from legends. Immortal-grade formations are indeed awe-inspiring.”

Indeed. What Li Fan directed the Boundless Mirror to extract from the Tianxuan Mirror this time was a brief notion of an immortal-grade formation.

This notion surfaced repeatedly, whether during the Tianxuan Mirror’s resentment in bondage as it plotted escapes, reminiscences of its splendor in the immortal domain, or reflections on countering the Xuanhuang Realm’s apocalyptic peril.

This majestic array, boasting world-creating prowess, was built by layering nine distinct immortal-grade formations.

Back in that era’s immortal realm, it stood as a supreme feat, with scarcely anyone able to deploy it successfully.

[The Astral Mechanism, All Spirits Return to Numbers], [Desolate Fall, Flowers Bloom in an Empty Room], and the core within the Boundless Mirror enabling surveillance of the Tianxuan Mirror, [Boundless, Primal Chaos Reveals in Form], all formed components of this Grand Formation of the Primordial Mystic Spirit.

The Astral Mechanism, All Spirits Return to Numbers array transformed all things in its domain into malleable numerical data.

The Desolate Fall, Flowers Bloom in an Empty Room array conjured matter from void emptiness, generating existence from nonexistence.

The Boundless Primal Chaos Reveals in Form array instinctively unraveled the world’s concealed truths in a confined area, providing a sturdy base for the Grand Formation of the Primordial Mystic Spirit’s world-building.

From the Tianxuan Mirror’s passing musings, Li Fan grasped a widespread belief in the immortal realm: each element of the world mirrors its entirety perfectly. Put differently, every worldly mystery could be decoded and revealed via any single object inside it.

All supernatural powers and cultivation methods could be discerned from a plain roadside pebble.

Had someone pitched this idea to Li Fan earlier, he’d have dismissed it as absurdity.

But originating from the Tianxuan Mirror’s recollections and accepted as truth in the immortal realm, it demanded serious consideration.

Nevertheless, grasping principles beyond the mundane realm was evidently beyond his current grasp.

After much deliberation, Li Fan merely shook his head faintly and etched it firmly into his mind.

Snapping back to focus, drawing from the lingering formation echoes in the Boundless Mirror and the hazy recollections of the Grand Formation of the Primordial Mystic Spirit from the Tianxuan Mirror, he started deducing the Boundless Primal Chaos Reveals in Form array with the Final Dissociation Disc.

“Once this array is finished, the Boundless Mirror won’t just peer at the Tianxuan Mirror anymore. Likely, nothing in the whole Xuanhuang Realm will evade its scrutiny.”

“Not even that immortal relic, the Fishing Pond…”
