New Discovery: The Reverse Side of the Mirror of Emptiness

Compared to when Ronan left the south a few years ago, Bennigo has lost a lot of weight, but he looks to be in good spirits and his strength has recovered somewhat.

Ronan took the initiative to meet him, Bennigo sensed the spiritual energy fluctuations of Level Four Dawn emanating from Ronan, but didn't seem too surprised.

The two embraced silently, and then Ronan turned his gaze to Sindison beside him.

"Thanks."

Ronan thanked Sindison calmly but solemnly, "You've had a long journey."

Sindison looked travel-worn but didn't say anything.

Ronan raised his hand to grab Sindison, whose expression changed drastically. Just as he was about to shout something, Ronan quickly withdrew his hand.

A semi-transparent black soul nail exploded and disappeared between his fingers with a "bang".

Ronan then casually tossed a Space Ring to Sindison.

The latter instinctively grabbed it, and after probing it with his mental energy, his expression froze for a moment. Then, a complex look appeared on his face, and his gaze towards Ronan softened considerably, no longer as tense as before.

"If it weren't for what happened before, I might have been willing to be your friend."

Sindison's gaze swept over Bennigo, then he looked at the Space Ring in his hand and said with a touch of emotion.

"If you change your mind later, I'll welcome it anytime."

Ronan answered calmly.

Sindison's lips twitched, but he ultimately couldn't bring himself to say anything about making friends. He changed the subject, saying, "I'm going to be focusing on my studies for a while, so if you need to contact me, you'll have to find another way."

Sindison used her mind to send Ronan an address and the corresponding contact information.

Ronan frowned, made a note of it, and asked, "Are you planning to go into seclusion to break through to the fifth level?"

"Level five isn't something you can break through so easily."

Sindison shook his head and hesitated before saying, "You should have already heard about Alba King's fall?"

Ronan nodded.

"It has been a long time since Level Seven Wizard has died unnaturally on the Upper Ring Continent."

Sindison said, "The Alba King has many offspring and did not designate a crown prince during his lifetime. Everyone can foresee the upheaval that is about to occur in the Life Royal Court."

Moreover, it's not just within the Alba Royal Family; everyone knows the White Wizard King's ambitions, and he certainly won't let this opportunity slip by. As far as I know, multiple legions of the Tangista Empire have already amassed on the border.

When the turmoil comes, it will inevitably affect the Pendulum of Fate.

You should prepare earlier.

Ronan was slightly surprised and gave Sindison a deep look.

"You just came back from the south, yet you know more than I do."

"Don't forget my origins."

Sindison said calmly, "The eyes and ears of the sky are everywhere."

After saying this, he gave Ronan a simple bow in farewell and turned to fly out of the valley.

Ronan watched Sindison walk away, then turned around to see Bennigo looking at him.

"Did you bring everything?"

Ronan asked Bennigo, who nodded slightly and took out the Space Ring from Narros that Ronan had asked Sindison to give him.

Where do you plan to settle it?

Bennigo looked at the Ruby Ring in his hand and spoke to Ronan.

Ronan didn't speak, but simply raised his hand slightly, and a vortex radiating intense spatial energy expanded continuously in his palm.

Caught off guard, Bennigo was caught in the vortex, and then both of their figures disappeared from the spot at the same time.

When the light shone again, the two found themselves in the Mist Space.

Ronan leaped into the air, gazing at the vast Black Earth stretching for over ten hectares before him. He opened his arms, turned to look at Bennigo, and smiled, "How's this place? Is it big enough, Bennigo?"

Bennigo was already stunned by the sight before him.

He stood there blankly, then suddenly took two quick steps forward, bent down, grabbed a handful of soil from the ground, and rubbed it carefully in his hands.

A moment later, Bennigo stood up, looked at Ronan with a complicated expression, and slowly said, "Damien, I won't be surprised no matter where you go in the future."

I will always remember that afternoon when the door of 131 Copper Ingot Street was knocked on...

After saying that, Bennigo gently tossed the Ruby Ring in his hand onto the ground in front of him.

Before the ring even hit the ground, scarlet, translucent tentacles had already "squeezed" out from inside the ring.

These tentacles, as if alive, immediately burrowed deep into the ground upon contact with it. Then, the soil beneath their feet began to churn rapidly in all directions, surging like waves.

In just a few breaths, a magical, enormous tree rose up in front of the two of them.

Golden rays of light cascaded down from the dense, umbrella-like canopy of the tree, and a ruby-like shimmer flowed through every branch.

Compared to when Ronan left the south, the Saint Blood Tree is several times larger. The part above ground doesn't look particularly spectacular, but once the root system buried in the soil is fully extended, it occupies almost half of the land in the Mist Space.

And it continues to expand outwards.

Clearly, the experience of being "curled up" in a small storage ring for the past six months has made it feel suffocated.

After a long separation, the Saint Blood Tree missed Ronan, its "father," terribly. Large branches stretched out and affectionately wrapped around Ronan's body, each vine conveying a childlike joy and excitement.

Ronan gently stroked the crystal-clear leaves of the Saint Blood Tree in response.

He saw that the roots of the Saint Blood Tree had quietly penetrated into the Elemental Pool, Greed absorbing the energy accumulated Elemental Pool. The water level in the Elemental Pool was visibly dropping, and the Saint Blood Tree was rustling all over as it grew rapidly.

Ronan was not stingy with the Saint Blood Tree.

The Stone of Destiny Trial: Quivada Oasis still has many corpses of otherworldly Magic Creature left behind, their numbers are enormous, enough to give the Saint Blood Tree a good feast.

Ronan sensed the growth rate of the Saint Blood Tree and considered that if this continued, it might not be long before the Mist Space was able to contain it.

"It's time to expand outwards again..."

As Ronan thought this, his powerful mental energy surged forth, swirling around the Elemental Pool. He then threw all fifty "mid-level Magic Crystal" he had obtained from the Silver Goblin Vault into the nearby high wall shrouded in mist.

In an instant, white mist surged, and the high wall rapidly pushed outward.

Ten hectares, twenty hectares, thirty hectares.

Vast expanses of fertile Black Earth are revealed, exuding a strong sense of hope.

When the area had expanded to more than fifty hectares, the magic stones were exhausted, and the moving high wall came to a complete stop.

Ronan's eyes flickered; this result was within his expectations.

Suddenly, Ronan noticed something unusual.

His expression shifted slightly, and he swiftly took to the air, continuously ascending.

"There was fog overhead too, but I had been unaware of it due to the lighting."

Ronan soared to the dome of the Mist Space.

It was blocked by an invisible "air wall".

Mental energy can penetrate it, though.

As you can see, the dome is still shrouded in a thick white fog, making it impossible to see anything clearly.

However, the barrier was much weaker than the high walls of mist on all sides, allowing Ronan's mental energy to extend continuously within the mist.

Ronan had originally intended to stop there, but at the very moment when his mental strength was just approaching its limit, it was as if he suddenly broke through a barrier, and the thick fog in front of him quickly dissipated.

It was as if he had broken through the "clouds," emerged from the mist, and reached another height.

Ronan looked around with great curiosity and saw a gray area in one direction, some distance away from him.

With a try-it-and-see attitude, he probed his mental energy slightly towards that gray area.

The next second, however, his consciousness seemed to be stretched infinitely by some force—

"Whoosh—"

The scene Ronan's "eyes" shifted, and when he came to his senses, he was completely stunned.

He suddenly appeared in a narrow, dark passageway.

On both sides are high walls formed by condensed gray fog.

The walls are also neatly arranged with small doors covered with various patterns.

Turning around, a small door emitting a faint white light stood behind him, and he could almost hear the heavy snoring of the Abyss Bull Demon Babu Li coming from inside.

Ronan was all too familiar with all of this.

That's clearly it.

The Minotaur's Endless Labyrinth!

He had escaped from the labyrinth before, but now he's back here once again!

"I see."

Ronan stared blankly at the oppressive, deathly gray fog tunnel before him, muttering to himself.

"The Minotaur's Labyrinth has always existed within the 'Mirror of Emptiness,' and it is also a part of the 'Mirror of Emptiness.'"

"The Mist Space is the front of the 'Mirror of Emptiness,' while the labyrinth is the back of the mirror!"

Since he obtained the "Mirror of Emptiness," he has never tried to use the back of the mirror.

Entering from the front of the Mirror of Emptiness, he gains a constantly expanding personal space, symbolizing freedom, vitality, and hope.

But once the mirror is turned to the other side, what he will get is a labyrinth from which he can never escape, a prison that represents loss, despair and death!

"Whoosh—"

Ronan's consciousness quickly returned to his body.

He stood quietly atop the dome of the Mist Space, his eyes gleaming as he pondered deeply.

Two sides of the same coin.

It's perfectly reasonable to use it for both inheritance and aiding cultivation, and for fighting enemies.

"I wonder if I can actively throw people into the maze. If it is possible, then the 'Mirror of Emptiness' will be far more useful than I imagined."
