Fragments of the Eight Trigrams Mirror

This is Offline Sparring meeting of the Daoist Academy.

This is an exchange showcasing the future of the most prestigious university in the Immortal Sect, so naturally, it requires bringing out the most outstanding geniuses from the school to make their appearance.

Although Chen Mobai was confident that he was invincible in Spell Duel, his own cultivation level was still somewhat low.

The other three Chief of the Three Great Dao Academies were all prodigies who had already Foundation Establishment before entering the academy. Two years ago, they had all broken through to the Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer. It was because of this that Zuoqiu Shi felt powerless to compete and stepped down to give way to a more capable person.

However, the Sect Son of the Goumang Dao Academy and the Ling Dao Shi of the Sky Mending Dao Academy are both in their tenth year this year and will graduate just like Hua Zijing.

Such prodigies would naturally seek out the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill Core Formation Pill to maximize their chances of forming their core, and would no longer waste their time in the Dao Academy.

That is why both of them readily agreed when Pure Yang Academy promoted Offline Exchange.

At the very least, the Wuqi Dao Academy must be suppressed again before graduation.

Of course, there is another reason for the Offline Exchange: to bring the next generation of Chief of the Dao Academy out to broaden their horizons.

Chen Mobai is in his prime and still has three years before graduation, but that doesn't stop him from mentoring another next-generation Chief of the Dao Academy who can serve as its representative.

He spent two years in the Student Union, which he initially found quite interesting. However, considering that Hua Zijing has graduated and Zhuang Jialan has not yet matured, he knows he will be very busy for the next three years, so he is already considering stepping down and making way for someone more capable.

However, the title of Chief of the Dao Academy must not be tarnished by the successor chosen by the academy itself. It is necessary to choose a strong and ruthless person who can keep the other Daoist Academy in check.

After counting them all, only Zhongli Tianyu is truly presentable.

His progress is astonishing; he has already broken through to the Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer this year.

With the treasure left behind by the Nascent Soul cultivator, the Cantong Qi, and various resources from the Dao Academy family, he broke through one level in a year, even surpassing the three disciples, including the Sect Son.

Among the other students at the Wuqi Dao Academy, the highest cultivation levels are Hua Zijing and Ming Yu, who are at the Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer. Their ability to reach such a level is not only due to their own strong talent and Spiritual Root, but also largely due to the resources of the Student Union, which allowed them to obtain more credits than other students.

Especially Ming Yu, before Chen Mobai became the president, he earned countless Merit Points in private by cultivating the Spiritual Eye Art and helping people appraise Artifact Nurturing Sphere.

However, after reaching the Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer, the two of them got stuck.

Or, Dao Academy are unable to break through to the Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer before graduation, with only one or two students doing so on average every ten years.

These people were all considered to be True Dao Seed capable of Core Formation, and it was precisely for this reason that Zuoqiu Shi easily entered the Immortal Sect's Enforcement Department after graduation.

The news that Zhongli Tianyu had broken through to the Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer was told to Chen Mobai by Che Yucheng.

Originally, according to Che Yucheng's idea, the school should have issued an internal announcement to spread the word.

After all, this signifies that the Wuqi Dao Academy is thriving, with one genius student after another emerging, and its future is promising.

But Zhongli Tianyu disagreed; he was too lazy to show off.

The reason for notifying Che Yucheng is that Che Yucheng has a good relationship with the patriarch of the Zhongli Family. Before Zhongli Tianyu came to the Dao Academy, the patriarch instructed him to contact Che Yucheng if anything happened.

There is another thing: three of the mirror lenses of the Zhongli Eight Trigrams Mirror are hidden in the Myriad Treasures Cave.

Zhongli Tianyu broke through to the fourth and seventh levels of the Foundation Establishment. Upon graduation, he could seek out Che Yucheng to receive one of the clues.

A few days ago, Che Yucheng informed Zhongli Tianyu about the second lens.

It was because of this that Chen Mobai knew where Zhongli Tianyu was.

He had actually been to that place.

Using the Lesser Teleportation Talisman, Chen Mobai returned to the Myriad Treasures Cave and greeted Zhuang Jialan at the entrance.

"Is the guild leader going deep into the Myriad Treasures Cave?"

"Yes, I have to go see someone."

"Do you need me to come with you?"

Chen Mobai waved his hand, indicating that he could go alone.

In the seven years since he enrolled, he had only met Zhongli Tianyu once, at the beginning of the semester. He knew that Zhongli Tianyu had a very strange temper, and he was afraid that if he went to see him this time, they might get into a fight. If Zhuang Jialan came along, it would inevitably make him feel constrained.

Moreover, he felt it was best not to let any third party see the scene of him sparring with Zhongli Tianyu, so as not to Zhongli Tianyu.

After riding the Crimson Cloud Mist Silk into the main cave of the Myriad Treasures Cave, Chen Mobai made a phone call to Mi Yudao.

"Senior Mi, the Artifact Nurturing Sphere you found in the Fire Spirit Tree back then might have to be opened today."

After hearing Chen Mobai's words, Mi Yudao said he would go over immediately.

He initially discovered a Artifact Nurturing Sphere among the roots and rubble of a Fire Spirit Tree. After examining it, Chen Mobai found it to be an Formation Disk. However, besides this one, there was actually another Artifact Nurturing Sphere inside the trunk of the Fire Spirit Tree.

Even Chen Mobai's Void Glimpse Spiritual Eye couldn't see through it. He had initially thought it was due to interference from multiple forces, but now he realized it was actually a lens that sealed Zhongli Eight Trigrams Mirror.

This Magic Artifact was Fifth Order artifact in its prime. Although his Void Glimpse Spiritual Eye was well-trained, he still couldn't see through even a fragment of this tier.

After Chen Mobai waited for Mi Yudao at the entrance of the cave, the two entered together.

After traveling five or six hundred meters, we finally arrived at the location of the Fire Spirit Tree again.

Wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, the boy with a bowl cut and bangs covering his eyes reached into the tree trunk and took out the Artifact Nurturing Sphere that sealed the Eight Trigrams Mirror.

Mi Yudao naturally recognized Zhongli Tianyu. He opened his mouth as if to speak, but then hesitated, and finally sighed, daring not to say anything.

"Don't you two know the rules? I've already claimed this cave."

After taking out the Artifact Nurturing Sphere, Zhongli Tianyu turned to look at the two of them and said in a cold tone.

"That Artifact Nurturing Sphere was registered by Senior Mi in our Student Union's Myriad Treasures Map. It only contains a sealed Formation Disk and has nothing to do with your Eight Trigrams Mirror. Moreover, it is a live seal, so I hope you will not disrupt the flow of spiritual energy in the vicinity."

Chen Mobai pointed to the Artifact Nurturing Sphere between the Fire Spirit Tree and the rubble, and then pointed to Mi Yudao, indicating that he was the first to discover it. According to the rules, if Zhongli Tianyu also wanted to take it, it would be best to compensate him with a small amount of Merit Points.

"I'm not interested in that."

However, after Zhongli Tianyu obtained the Eight Trigrams Mirror fragment, he didn't even glance at the other Artifact Nurturing Sphere that sealed the Formation Disk.

Just as Mi Yudao breathed a sigh of relief, Zhongli Tianyu pointed in the direction of the cave entrance, indicating that they could leave.

"Now that I've finished my official business, I happen to have a personal matter to attend to. I wonder if you Zhongli, would be interested in participating in this Offline Exchange of the Daoist Academy?"

After using the Artifact Nurturing Sphere as a starting point for the conversation, Chen Mobai went straight to the main topic.

"I'm not interested. While I'm in a good Heavenly Heart, you'd better get out of my sight right now, or I'll have to kick you out."

Zhongli Tianyu didn't even glance at Chen Mobai and the other person. His eyes, hidden under his bangs, were fixed on the Artifact Nurturing Sphere in his hand. Eight Trigrams Mirror, as if it had been broken and reassembled after being thrown to the ground, appeared in his palm.

As soon as the mirror appeared, the previously still Artifact Nurturing Sphere began to emit wisps of firelight, which then emerged from the surface of the sphere, forming the Li Trigram.

At that moment, the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror in Chen Mobai's dantian suddenly trembled, as if it had encountered a source power that was very attractive to it.

Within the Immortal Sect, especially in the Dao Academy, there's no need to worry about things like robbing treasures.

Therefore, Chen Mobai did not hold back and directly released his Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror.

The bronze mirror instantly emitted a radiant glow, seemingly trying to draw the Li Trigram from the surface of the Artifact Nurturing Sphere.

"Are you looking for death?"

Zhongli Tianyu misunderstood what he saw.

However, he finally raised his head and looked at Chen Mobai.

Her bangs were parted, revealing a pair of jet-black eyes, as deep as the Starry Sky, within which the Eight Trigrams seemed to flow and evolve into Wind and Thunder.

"I'm sorry, my Natal Magic Tool seems to have some connection with your Eight Trigrams Mirror, so I couldn't control myself for a moment."

As Chen Mobai spoke, he reached out and stopped his Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror, but he had already achieved his goal.

"Senior Mi, why don't you go back first?"

Chen Mobai suddenly turned to Mi Yudao and said something. The latter hesitated for a moment, but thinking of his friend's fighting prowess, he nodded.

"Be careful, I'll wait for you at the Student Union. If you don't come back tonight, I'll tell Director Che about it."

Mi Yudao's words made Chen Mobai chuckle.

Although Zhongli Tianyu has already Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer, he is definitely no match for me.

However, Mi Yudao was also worried about himself, so he didn't explain further and waved for him to leave first, so as not to affect their sparring.

"Hmph, don't worry, at most I'll just teach him a lesson."

As Zhongli Tianyu spoke, he raised his right hand, and a stream of azure energy condensed in his palm, instantly transforming into a crescent-shaped blade, which he slashed at Chen Mobai.

"Doesn't Zhongli recognize me?"

Chen Mobai found it a bit strange. Among the Immortal Sect, there was no Foundation Establishment Cultivator who dared to use such a probing move against him.

He didn't use his Sword Light either. Instead, the Yi Wood Divine Thunder in his palm erupted, and a streak of azure lightning flashed. While shattering the arc blade of airflow, it also struck Zhongli Tianyu's forehead.

Crackling sound! A purple lightning bolt suddenly appeared in front of Zhongli Tianyu's head, absorbing and digesting all of the Yi Wood Divine Thunder.

"Your Thunder Method is quite good, but I am the Thunder Emperor."

As he spoke, Zhongli Tianyu made a fist with his right hand, and a purple lightning bolt, like a sharp blade, condensed in his palm, and was thrown at Chen Mobai like a spear.

Amidst the roar, this cave, which had endured countless years, trembled because of this thunderous spear.

Chen Mobai frowned, also wanting to leave a deep impression on Zhongli Tianyu, and decided to give him the most thorough defeat in the opponent's most proficient Thunder Method.

He enhanced the power of the Yi Wood Divine Thunder to the peak of the Second Grade.

The blue lightning extended and condensed in his palm, transforming into a spiderweb of lightning.

With his perfect understanding of this Thunder Method, his power was just right to capture the purple lightning spear.

After experiencing it firsthand, Chen Mobai felt that Zhongli Tianyu's Thunder Method seemed even more magnificent than his own, and it focused on destruction and annihilation, possessing a terrifying annihilation power. Could it be the famous Purple Sky Divine Thunder? Just as he was pondering this, the power of the two Thunder Method was already under his precise control, and they simultaneously vanished into nothingness.

This means that the power of the Yi Wood Divine Thunder and the Thunder Spear is perfectly balanced.

Zhongli Tianyu's eyes widened in shock upon seeing this.

Is it a coincidence?

He certainly didn't believe that everything was under Chen Mobai's control, but at this moment, he already knew that the guy in front of him, whose cultivation was far inferior to his own, seemed to be quite powerful.

"You are lucky to have witnessed my Complete Body."

Zhongli Tianyu finally got serious, and the "Xun Trigram" and "Zhen Trigram" trigrams appeared in his eyes hidden beneath his bangs.

Then he suddenly disappeared from the spot.

"Not bad speed."

Chen Mobai was a veteran of countless battles, and his fierce battle with Lu Qiulong honed his experience against high-speed opponents.

After exclaiming in admiration, he flicked his right thumb behind him.

A bolt of azure lightning suddenly erupted like a drill. Zhongli Tianyu, who had moved behind Chen Mobai, was shocked and was then struck by the Yi Wood Divine Thunder. However, a bolt of purple lightning flashed out instantly, blocking the lightning.

Lightning and thunder burst forth with the most dazzling brilliance in an instant. Just when Zhongli Tianyu thought a massive explosion was about to occur, the two forces suddenly vanished without a trace.

What kind of monster is this?!

After two such instances, Zhongli Tianyu finally understood how terrifying Chen Mobai was.

This person's Spell Duel ability completely puts him in his own hands.

But he was an extremely proud man. The Eight Trigrams Mirror between his eyebrows appeared, and the Wind and Thunder and Thunder trigrams in his eyes materialized. Suddenly, he unleashed six or seven bolts of purple lightning, which then clasped together in his palm, transforming into a huge Thunder Ball that slammed heavily towards Chen Mobai in front of him.

This Thunder Ball is so powerful that it has far surpassed the level of the Second Grade.

Zhongli Tianyu could only barely use it by relying on the power of the Eight Trigrams Mirror.

He didn't believe Chen Mobai could perfectly counter this move as before.

By this point, Zhongli Tianyu knew he was no match for the monster before him, but he wanted to break free from being manipulated.

Even if it's just to get this guy to back down...

Just as Zhongli Tianyu's eyes widened, his bangs flew up, and he unleashed his most powerful Thunder Ball, Chen Mobai finally turned around.

The two locked eyes.

Chen Mobai suddenly laughed, and then, under Zhongli Tianyu's incredulous gaze, he raised his right hand again. The cyan lightning condensed in his palm into a bright, mirror-like pool of lightning water, which then seemed to be splashed, transforming the lightning water into a clear and transparent barrier.

The enormous Thunder Ball that Zhongli Tianyu held in his arms crashed down onto the lightning-water barrier, like a rock sinking into the deep sea. Although it stirred up waves, it quickly returned to calm.

Finally, the light and shadow faded, revealing his clasped hands and Chen Mobai's slender right palm.

Chen Mobai stretched out his right hand, passing through Zhongli Tianyu's hands who was standing there dumbfounded, and gently patted his forehead, announcing his victory in this sparring match.

To be honest, I didn't feel a sense of accomplishment.

I felt like I was bullying someone.
