World Within the Mirror
A month has passed since Lin Langtian's trip to the Ling Family Manor.
During this month, Lin Langtian kept a close eye on the Ling Family's every move, and the Jin Wu also flew around the border constantly, on alert for a sudden attack by the Ling Family.
However, to Lin Langtian's slight surprise, the Ling Family did not make any move, and everything remained extremely calm.
During this time, Lin Langtian also sent a team of Tiger Leopard Cavalry disguised to Ling City, where the Ling Family was located, to investigate. However, Ling City remained as bustling as ever, and even the deaths of Ling Lie and others did not spread at all, which was obviously because the Ling Family had blocked the news.
Of course, what Lin Langtian didn't know was that the annihilation of Ling Lie and his group caused a huge uproar in the Ling Family.
Leaving aside the fact that one Peak Creation Stage and two Great Accomplishment Creation Stage were killed, the fall of Half-step Nirvana Stage expert was a truly devastating blow to the Ling Family!
However, after venting their anger and calming down, the Ling Family continued to speculate about which hostile force was behind the incident.
Of course, the Ling Family also suspected the Lin Clan, with whom they had recently clashed.
However, as a long-established family, the Ling Family family also had its own intelligence network in the Great Yan Dynasty. According to reports from the Ling Family spies, Lin Fan, the Clan Leader of the Lin Clan, had been staying in Lin City and had not gone out at all.
Upon learning this news, the Ling Family's higher-ups were somewhat puzzled.
If this was truly the work of the Lin Clan, then besides the Clan Leader Lin Fan, could the Lin Clan have other Nirvana Stage experts? Otherwise, how could they have so secretly wiped out Ling Lie and the others?
Thinking of this, the Ling Family's higher-ups were also somewhat apprehensive.
After all, the Ling Family was ranked last among the Six Great Super Families of the Great Qing Dynasty, although this did not stop them from looking down on the Lin Clan of the Great Yan Dynasty.
However, if the Lin Clan has two Nirvana Stage experts, then the Ling Family cannot afford to offend them; there is a real risk of the family's downfall.
Therefore, regardless of whether the Lin Clan was responsible for this matter, the Ling Family did not want to provoke such a powerful enemy Lin Clan any further, and thus naturally gave up on the Black Rock Manor.
Lin Langtian was naturally unaware of such inside information.
However, since the Ling Family dared not invade, it suited his original plan perfectly.
When news of Lin Langtian defeating Creation Realm Peak reached the Lin Clan, it caused a great stir within the clan.
The Creation Realm Peak is the highest realm below the Nirvana Stage. It is truly gratifying and inspiring that Lin Langtian, as a member of the younger generation of the family, was able to defeat a veteran expert at the Creation Realm Peak!
In light of this, Lin Fan generously dispatched Clan Leader to the Black Rock Manor to reward Lin Langtian with 10,000 Nirvana Pill.
This brought Lin Langtian one step closer to his plan of accumulating 100,000 Nirvana Pill.
Taking this opportunity, Lin Langtian also made a request to his clan to oversee Black Rock Manor.
After discussing the matter, Lin Fan and other high-ranking members of the clan agreed to it.
After all, the Purple Spirit Crystal Mine is of great importance, and the strength that Lin Langtian has shown is such that, apart from Lin Fan, no one else in the Lin Clan can possess such strength.
Having received the appointment to guard Black Rock Manor, Lin Langtian naturally smiled slightly.
He did this not for the sake of his family's glory, but for the Purple Spirit Crystal.
After eliminating the interference from the Ling Family, the Lin Clan also exerted the strength of the Four Great Clans and began to mine and sell Purple Spirit Crystal on a large scale.
Lin Langtian, who was in charge of guarding Black Rock Manor, also used his authority to continuously embezzle the share of Purple Spirit Crystal.
Lin Langtian felt no moral remorse for such behavior.
After all, if it weren't for his efforts, Black Rock Manor would have already fallen into the hands of the Ling Family, and his family wouldn't have gotten a single hair.
Although he pocketed 30% for himself, the family still took the lion's share, so he had done more than enough.
In the following months, Lin Langtian abused his power for personal gain, feeding the Golden Spirit Wheel Mirror with Purple Spirit Crystal worth millions of Pure Yuan Pill.
As it devoured the Purple Spirit Crystal, the Golden Spirit Wheel Mirror was also constantly being repaired.
To Lin Langtian's surprise, as the golden light shone on the Golden Spirit Wheel Mirror, a wisp of black light appeared faintly...
One day, Lin Langtian looked at the Golden Spirit Wheel Mirror floating in front of him, fed the Purple Spirit Crystal in his hand into the mirror, and frowned slightly as he looked at the Golden Spirit Wheel Mirror, which remained completely still.
For the past three months, he has been repeating this action over and over again, and the Golden Spirit Wheel Mirror has devoured more than a thousand pieces of Purple Spirit Crystal.
However, to Lin Langtian's disappointment, the Golden Spirit Wheel Mirror did not undergo any special changes except for emitting a faint, eerie black light.
Shaking his head, just as Lin Langtian was about to close his eyes and cultivate, the Golden Spirit Wheel Mirror suddenly began to tremble violently.
"Buzz!"
After trembling, to Lin Langtian's astonishment, the Golden Spirit Wheel Mirror suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, then enveloped Lin Langtian.
As the black light enveloped him, Lin Langtian's vision blurred, and then he found that the scene before him had changed drastically.
The room inside disappeared, and what appeared before Lin Langtian was a vast, dark world, like a black ocean with no end in sight. The surging black mist seemed to carry a boundless, desolate energy.
"This is..."
Lin Langtian gazed at this dark and eerie world, his expression changing slightly. Then, as if he had realized something, he thought, "This must be the world inside the Golden Spirit Wheel Mirror."
Seeing this, Lin Langtian raised an eyebrow slightly. It was a self-contained space, a function that only some top-tier special Pure Origin Treasure in the Heavenly Profound Continent possessed.
He looked around, hesitated slightly, and then headed into the depths of this boundless world of black mist.
As he walked away, the black mist dissipated.
As soon as Lin Langtian took a step, the surrounding scenery changed again. The black mist quickly faded away, and some mountains and rivers began to appear.
Within this mirror, there appears to be an enormous world.
Lin Langtian stood on the horizon, looking down at the unfamiliar world within the mirror. As he was slightly bewildered, black energy suddenly surged from the edge of that world.
Immediately afterwards, a surge of black energy, carrying endless chill, rolled in, like an endless ocean of black mist, permeating the entire world within the mirror.
When Lin Langtian approached these black energies, he discovered that this energy, so different from Yuan Power, seemed to be a special kind of energy, as if it were... demonic energy.
Strangely, however, this demonic energy did not seem to have any effect on Lin Langtian.
Lin Langtian was also staring at the currents of demonic energy, where the demonic energy was condensing, and it seemed that a phantom shadow covered with black scales was emerging.
It was like a Demon God, its pair of scarlet-gold pupils, the coldest in the world, suddenly turned towards the direction where Lin Langtian was.
Sensing those scarlet-gold pupils that seemed to be the coldest in the world, for some reason, a look of doubt appeared in Lin Langtian's eyes.
Because he didn't sense any danger in those scarlet-gold eyes.
This is... very strange.
At the same time, Spirit Aunt appeared beside him without him even noticing.
Looking at this world of demonic energy, her usually dignified and noble face turned unusually gloomy, and she said in a deep voice.
"This power... belongs to the Outer Realm Evil Race!"
