The garden wasn't large, less than a hundred square meters. In the center was a thatched hut, and nothing else.

Lu Xing looked up at the peak of the mountain and asked, "Could it be that there's some treasure in this mountain that only bears fruit every thousand years, making it worth your while to stake out?"

His words made the beauties in the mirror laugh. Most of them didn't answer him. The Neon Fairy smiled and said, "Child, your vision is still shallow. When you start cultivating and reach the Flying Immortal Realm, you will be able to comprehend our current state."

Lu Xing asked again, "Earlier, I heard the seniors say they walk among mortals. Does that mean you are all immortals? Is this the Immortal Realm?"

The Empress sitting alone on the mountain peak in the mirror scoffed again and lazily replied, "Where are there any immortals? The Immortal Realm is just a misconception. It's actually just the Upper Realm. No one has ever seen a truly immortal and indestructible being."

Lu Xing nodded, indicating he understood.

His physical body wasn't here, and Earth had no spiritual energy, so he didn't ask about the cultivation realms here.

If Earth could be cultivated, the Cold Ice Fairy could train on his behalf.

"You should all leave. Don't stay here."

Before leaving the garden, Lu Xing spoke to some intelligent herbs still hiding among the flowers and plants.

As his voice fell, these spiritual herbs disappeared, whether they were hiding or had left was unknown.

Lu Xing paid them no mind, turned and left the garden. Thinking he still had time, he continued walking towards the mountain peak.

The mountain path was long, with wind and snow intertwined. Lu Xing's steps gradually became light and airy. With a slight push of his toes, he could leap up, climbing dozens of feet higher.

"So that's how it is!"

Lu Xing walked more and more smoothly. With the fairy's magic power blessing him, he was fearless of the wind and snow. The fairy's pure white jade feet lightly tapped the mountain rock, and her ethereal figure had already ascended, her robes fluttering, like a swallow flying against the wind in the snow, breaking through layers of obstacles.

Finally, he reached the mountain peak.

Lu Xing's vision suddenly brightened. He broke through the dark clouds and flew towards the sky. The sky full of wind and snow disappeared with him, and the dark, heavy clouds surged and tumbled beneath his feet.

In the distance, the morning sun rose, its rays illuminating the earth.

Lu Xing was attracted by the beautiful scenery before him. Holding the treasure mirror in his fair hand, his gaze fixed on where the sun was rising, the fairy's body in white robes slowly descended, her crystal-clear jade feet once again stepping on the mountain peak's rocks.

The morning light shone down, a gentle breeze blew, and the red hair tie fluttered behind the fairy's waterfall-like black hair. Lu Xing couldn't see the fairy's beauty at this moment, but standing on the mountain peak, with the wind and snow beneath his feet, this feeling of reaching the summit, along with the fairy's otherworldly and peerless appearance and temperament, made Lu Xing naturally see the fairy's beauty.

"I saw an incredibly magnificent world and a spectacular sunrise! The snowy mountain is too beautiful!"

Lu Xing smiled and said to the souls of the beauties in the mirror. Then, taking a deep breath, he shouted towards the distant sunset, "Ah!!!"

Originally, this was just an act of venting the excitement in the heart of someone who was physically tired after climbing a height on Earth. When he was a man, Lu Xing's shout would have been like a fierce tiger roaring in the valley.

But at this moment, the sound shouted from Lu Xing's mouth became particularly unique.

The fairy's exquisite and unparalleled voice, like celestial music descending from the heavenly palace, instantly caused clouds and mist to surge. Five-colored auspicious light formed between heaven and earth, transforming into golden lotuses that flew in all directions, enveloping the mountains. The dark clouds covering the mountains disintegrated, and the morning light shone into the valley, dispelling the chill condensed by thousand-year-old ice.

The celestial sound went straight into the sky.

As if sensing its owner's mood, the treasure mirror in Lu Xing's hand flew up, suspended above his head, emitting a beam of light that pierced through heaven and earth, reaching up to the Nine Heavens and down to the Netherworld. The treasure mirror chimed softly between heaven and earth, seemingly also celebrating its owner's awakening.

Lu Xing was stunned.

He was shocked by the Cold Ice Fairy's strength and the power of the treasure mirror in her hand.

He didn't know much about this cultivation world, but such a celestial phenomenon, any cultivator would know it meant a treasure had appeared. They would definitely come to investigate and see if they could stumble upon one or two opportunities.

"Come back!"

After reacting, Lu Xing quickly summoned the treasure mirror back, holding it in his palm. He saw that its surface was still overflowing with colorful light. After a long while, the souls of the women in the mirror slowly appeared.

"What are you doing?" the blue-dressed girl asked him strangely.

"Have you gone mad?" the empress, who had a majestic demeanor and peerless beauty, laughed at him again.

"If you used a bit more magic power, Lu Xing, the accumulated snow on these mountains could all melt away," the purple-clothed woman also said with a smile.

"My daughter wouldn't do such a thing..."

The Neon Fairy's tone, however, was faint.

Lu Xing was a little embarrassed and asked them, "Seniors, I wonder if what I did will cause any consequences? I didn't know her single shout could change the color of heaven and earth!"

One could only say, the fairy was terrifying!

"Consequences? The consequences are quite serious!" the blue-dressed girl said very seriously, "If you don't leave now, soon the great sects and immortal gates will send people to capture you and snatch our Reincarnation Mirror!"

The empress also urged, "Run, run quickly! If you run too slowly, you'll be captured and put into a harem as a concubine! You're a man, you wouldn't want to be taken as a concubine, right?"

Lu Xing didn't believe these two.

Fortunately, there were many with good personalities in the mirror. The somewhat shy girl holding a zither smiled and said, "Mr. Lu Xing, please rest assured. The Reincarnation Mirror is a treasure that can conceal itself. No matter how much outsiders try to deduce, they won't be able to figure anything out. If they knew about the Reincarnation Mirror, they would also know about me, and wouldn't come looking for trouble."

The blue-dressed girl and the empress then smiled. They hadn't managed to trick Lu Xing, but they didn't mind.

"Thank you, seniors."

Lu Xing smiled and said, "Seniors can just call me by my name. I'm going down the mountain now. Oh, by the way, do you know the direction of the cave? I'll go back first and wait for her to agree to come out."

The girl holding the zither whispered, "No need to go back, I don't mind."

"Why go back? You said she's coming back?" The blue-dressed girl remembered and said with a smile, "Just go and wander around. We'll tell her when she comes back."

Lu Xing thought for a moment, "I'll go back anyway. I'm tired and want to go back to bed to rest."

"Tired? Rest? You?"

"Why go back to bed? Just lie down anywhere and sleep. That bed is no different from the snow on the ground."

"..."

Lie down anywhere to rest?

Lu Xing wasn't that wild yet. After asking for directions, he gracefully descended towards the mountainside.

The anomaly on Thousand Snow Mountain was quickly noticed. Not long after Lu Xing went down the mountain, dozens of streaks of light rushed into the wind and snow, scattering into the mountains to search for the treasure that had appeared.

Those with discerning eyes could immediately tell that these were rogue cultivators who frequently entered Thousand Snow Mountain to gather herbs. The true aristocratic families and major sects would take some time to mobilize.

But what they didn't know was that the sound of the treasure anomaly on Thousand Snow Mountain spread far beyond the surrounding area.

To the true powerhouses in the Three Realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man, the soft hum emitted by the Reincarnation Mirror was no less than immortal music entering their ears, causing them to suddenly awaken, turn their heads to look in a certain direction, and begin to deduce.

But the more they deduced, the tighter their brows furrowed, and they ultimately had to give up.

Only a few beings opened their eyes to look at the mortal realm, murmuring, What is she doing? before paying no further attention.

"Master..."

In the Netherworld deep underground, a woman in black robes looked up at the mortal realm, tears streaming down her face. "This disciple knew you weren't dead. What kind of existence are you? How could you easily vanish? This disciple will come find you now!"

The mortal realm.

In a valley filled with immortal energy, a white-haired old man sitting under a tree slowly opened his eyes.

Shortly after, the Sect Master of the Flying Immortal Sect arrived in the valley, respectfully saluted the old man, and asked, "Old Ancestor, do you have any instructions?"

"The Ancestral Master has awakened."

The white-haired old man said weakly, "Go find her for me. You must find her. After you find her, come see me again."

"Ancestral Master?"

The Flying Immortal Sect Master looked bewildered. He had never known that the Flying Immortal Sect had an Ancestral Master. Wasn't the Flying Immortal Sect's Old Ancestor a disciple of Mingxuan Fairy? But Mingxuan Fairy never acknowledged the Flying Immortal Sect and never allowed the Flying Immortal Sect to regard her as their Ancestral Master.

"She has a mirror in her hand. When you see her, you will know she is the Ancestral Master. Go."

"Yes, Old Ancestor!"
