Kunlun Mirror's Abnormality

When they entered the Formation, they saw a huge palace appear atop the mountain. Countless auras of Lesser Yin and time shrouded the Great Hall, as though some living being was being nurtured within.

Han Xi looked at the Great Hall. The attraction was not coming from there. Following the pull of her senses, she found that it lay behind the Great Hall.

Han Xi glanced at Xuan Qing. Once he nodded, she flew at top speed toward the Back Mountain. Before she could get close, a mirror suddenly flew out of the Great Hall and blocked her path.

Xuan Qing and the others immediately followed, watching the mirror warily. Layer upon layer of flowing-water-like space appeared across its surface, as if warning them that if they did not retreat, it would attack.

"Kunlun Mirror? Why are you attacking us?"

Xuan Qing questioned the mirror. At a glance, it was clearly Queen Mother of the West's Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. Yet they had done nothing to her, so why had the Kunlun Mirror automatically protected its master and driven them away?

The image on the Kunlun Mirror shifted, and a weak Origin appeared on its surface.

"Sister!"

Han Xi suddenly sensed the Origin calling to her. No wonder the call in her heart had grown stronger the closer she came. It was her sister. She had no other thoughts now; she had to save her sister quickly.

Han Xi brought out the Water Bell and the Western Plain Cloud Boundary Banner and was about to charge at the Kunlun Mirror, but Xuan Qing grabbed her. He stared coldly at the mirror. This Spiritual Treasure was unusual. It already possessed powerful spirituality and was not an ordinary Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

"Kunlun Mirror, this should be a being formed from the Innate Ren Water Essence, the companion spirit of the Innate Ren Water Flat Peach. Why did you attack her? If your answer is unsatisfactory, you will perish today!"

Xuan Qing did not care what had happened. He immediately brought out the Green Lotus of Creation. This being was Han Xi's sister. If this was not handled properly today, Han Xi's Dao Heart might collapse.

The moment the Green Lotus of Creation appeared and sensed the Kunlun Mirror's threat, it immediately reacted. An overwhelming pressure bore down directly upon the Kunlun Mirror. It was only a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure; how could it contend against the Green Lotus of Creation? It was suppressed at once.

At that moment, a Fragment wrapped up the Essence of Ren Water and tried to flee. Seeing this, the Green Lotus of Creation sent a stream of the Law of Creation toward the Fragment, enveloping both it and that ball of Origin.

The Fragment began struggling violently. A Law of Time also began clashing with the Law of Creation. For a time, neither could do anything to the other. But as time passed, the Fragment lost its source of energy and gradually weakened before being taken in by the Green Lotus of Creation.

Xuan Qing and Han Xi hurriedly flew over. They continuously poured Three Lights Divine Water and Innate Gui Water onto the Origin, then used the Law of Creation to repair it.

A hundred Kalpas passed. At last, that ball of Origin was fully restored and transformed into a graceful woman. The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Xuan Qing before her and Han Xi's worried face.

"Sister!"

The woman cried out involuntarily. She did not know the girl before her, but their Origin auras drew one another, and the Great Dao's information told her that this was her younger sister.

"Sister, I thought you had died back then. I never expected you to still be alive. This is wonderful! We must never be separated again!"

Han Xi rushed forward and hugged the woman, tears streaming down her face. This was the happiest thing she had experienced since her birth.

The woman hugged Han Xi tightly as well, repeatedly patting her back. She had caused Han Xi such great pain. In the future, she would have to make it up to her properly.

After hugging for quite some time, Han Xi finally realized that there were so many people around them. She turned back to look at Xuan Qing, stuck out her tongue at him, and felt a little embarrassed.

Having found her sister, Han Xi seemed to have regained her childlike heart all at once. She even began acting spoiled toward Xuan Qing, just like Qing Ling.

"Sister, this is Brother. When your connection to me was cut off, I was devastated. Luckily, Brother found me, kept me by his side, and took care of me. He has treated me the best."

Han Xi quickly introduced Xuan Qing to her sister, then pulled Qing Ya and the others over to introduce them as well.

"This is Qing Ya, Qing Ling, Qing Yue, and Bai Yu. They are all my good friends, and they are also beings from Brother's Dao Field."

"My name is Han Li. Thank you all for taking care of my younger sister. I have truly wronged Han Xi. I will definitely make it up to her in the future."

Han Li introduced herself as well, then gave Xuan Qing a deep bow.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist, for caring for my younger sister so well. I owe you far too much. If you have any orders in the future, Han Li will certainly obey."

"No need, no need. Just treat us as good friends. I regard Han Xi as my younger sister, and she has helped me a great deal as well. We have supported each other. No one owes anyone anything."

Xuan Qing truly regarded Han Xi as family. Family members were supposed to care for one another, so how could there be any talk of debts? Han Xi had helped Xuan Qing greatly. Without her, he would not have reached his current level.

"Sister, don't be so polite with Old Brother. Old Brother isn't like the countless beings of the Prehistoric Era. You'll understand once you spend more time with him. Hehe."

Now that Han Xi had both an old brother and a sister, it was as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders. Even her speech became mischievous, making her like a second Qing Ling.

"Han Li, since you are Han Xi's sister, I won't stand on ceremony. From now on, I'll call you Han Li, and you can call me Xuan Qing. What do you think?"

Xuan Qing did not want another stranger in the family, so he settled how they would address each other right away. That way, their future interactions would not be so awkward.

"Alright, Xuan Qing." Coupled with her figure and temperament, Han Li seemed like a cold and aloof elder sister. She was sparing with words, perhaps because they had only just met and were not yet familiar with one another.

"Sister, why were you inside the Kunlun Mirror? And why was your Origin so badly damaged?"

Han Xi desperately wanted to know what Han Li had experienced and how she had ended up in such a situation. If not for Xuan Qing, they might never have had the chance to meet again.

"That mirror is called the Kunlun Mirror? Back then, I was breaking through to the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm beside my Companion Spiritual Root. But just after I broke through, the Kunlun Mirror flew over, dragged me into the mirror's space, and a Fragment struck directly at my Origin."

"Was it this Fragment?"

The moment Xuan Qing heard that, he immediately took out the Fragment from the Green Lotus of Creation. Having lost its energy source, it now lay quietly in Xuan Qing's palm.

"Yes, that's it. I don't know why, but I sensed a terrifying aura from the Fragment back then."

Hearing Han Li's description, Xuan Qing began examining the Fragment in his hand. Something capable of manifesting the Law of Time and briefly contending with the Green Lotus of Creation had to be something of Chaos level.

There was only one Chaos being related to time: the Time Demon God—Shichen. Was this Fragment that fellow's backup plan? Did he intend to devour Han Li and use her to act within the Prehistoric Era?

Xuan Qing probed the Fragment with his Divine Sense. Other than the Law of Time, there was nothing in it. Not even the slightest aura had been left behind. Shichen truly was cautious, leaving behind no evidence.

The Fragment's material was also something from Chaos. It should have been a Fragment of his Companion Spiritual Treasure, the Time Compass. But since it had fallen into Xuan Qing's hands, Shichen could forget about ever taking it back.

If he could find something related to space as well, he would surely be able to stimulate the Dao Coffin of Time and Space and comprehend the Law of Time and Space.

"This was Shichen's doing. You were accidentally chosen by Him and became a sacrifice in His scheme for the Prehistoric Era. But it's fine now. He is probably hiding in some corner and does not dare to act."

"Brother, then was the matter in the Primordial Starry Sky last time also caused by a being like this? We have ruined Their plans one after another. They will definitely come after us in the future."

Han Xi began worrying about retaliation from the Chaos Demon Gods. They had repeatedly ruined others' plans, and the other side would surely refuse to rest until they were dead.

"Don't worry. This is the Prehistoric Era, Great God Pangu's territory. They are like a group of little rats and do not dare to show themselves. We just need to be more careful of schemes in the future and avoid falling into their traps."

Xuan Qing was not worried about these Chaos Demon Gods either. Although he did not know how much strength They had left, They were certainly weaker than Hongjun and the others. Otherwise, They would have already jumped out to cause trouble.

"What are little rats?"

Han Li suddenly realized that their conversation kept bringing up terms she did not understand. Had she been imprisoned for so many years that she had become disconnected from the Prehistoric Era?

"Um, Sister, I'll tell you later. Right now, the important thing is this: where is your Companion Spiritual Root?"

Han Xi looked around, but she could not find the Innate Ren Water Flat Peach tree.

Han Li also came back to her senses and began sensing the Ren Water Peaches. There was indeed an aura of Ren Water Peaches here, but she simply could not find them. They seemed to be outside this space.

Xuan Qing then saw the Kunlun Mirror lying on the ground and suddenly thought of something. The Kunlun Mirror contained the Law of Time. Could it have isolated the place where the Ren Water Peaches were with the Law of Time?

Having lost that Fragment, the Kunlun Mirror no longer targeted them, and its spirituality had greatly declined. Although it was still a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure with forty-eight restrictions, it no longer possessed its previous might.

Xuan Qing brought out the Green Lotus of Creation. The Law of Creation began clashing with the Law of Time, and ripples spread through space. The aura of the Ren Water Peaches also emerged from a Space Rift.

"It's there!"

Han Li immediately sensed the Ren Water Peaches calling to her and raised her hand to point at the Space Rift.

Seeing this, Xuan Qing directly increased the output of the Law of Creation. The Space Rift grew larger and larger, and that space began appearing in West Kunlun. A barrier of time blocked the space from descending.

At that moment, West Kunlun's Ancestral Vein released a massive suction force. The time barrier shattered at once, and that space was absorbed into the Primordial Heaven and Earth. A mass of Great Dao Merit appeared in Xuan Qing's Sea of Consciousness. Xuan Qing completed his Dao Wheel and continued feeding the remainder into his Dao Diagram.

Han Li hurriedly flew over, with the others following close behind. A peach tree brimming with vitality and the aura of Water Origin appeared in West Kunlun.

This was the Innate Ren Water Flat Peach. Thirty-six enticing flat peaches hung from its branches. These were the first fruits it had borne since its birth, yet Han Li had been captured before she even had the chance to taste one.
