Xie Feng arrived here and carefully examined the Buddha statue. Although it had been around for many years, it was still shining brightly, as if it had been properly maintained.
Endless auspicious clouds swirled around the golden Buddha statue, making it appear even more mysterious and extraordinary.
Xie Feng stared at the Buddha statue, seemingly with a the Unseen. He pointed at the Buddha and calmly said, "There's something wrong with it!"
Upon hearing this, Ge Ya walked over, waved his sleeve, and drew his wooden sword. With a thunderous sound, the Buddha was cleaved in two!
Wow!!
The Buddha statue collapsed, and towering waves surged forth, quickly turning the main hall into a vast ocean.
Space twisted and shifted continuously, and the people who were originally in the main hall unexpectedly found themselves standing on a vast, boundless sea!
Before them stretched a vast river, reaching from the heavens to the netherworld, a truly magnificent sight.
" Heavenly River!"
Cong Yun pointed to what was in front of him, his voice rising slightly.
In the middle of the Heavenly River lies an island, covered in lush greenery, with a cold wind howling. Looking out over the island, one can clearly see a giant mirror on its surface.
"This is the Purple Paths and Red Dust Road! The mirror on the island is called the Past Like a Dream Mirror!" said Cong Yun.
"Let's go then!" Xie Feng was eager to try and couldn't wait any longer.
"I'm not going!" Cong Yun refused without hesitation. She explained, "The mirror there is so powerful that it can heal injuries that others can't, so it has terrible side effects."
"When you lift the curtain in front of the mirror, a scene where illusion and reality intertwine will appear before you. This is a kind of illusion that stirs up inner demons and drives people insane."
Even if you're informed beforehand and make thorough preparations, you'll realize how powerless you are when you actually face it! Because I've learned my lesson here, I never want to set foot here again!
Cong Yun spoke, she couldn't help but recall the past, a look of pain appearing on her face.
The Old Man Pine Gatherer said, "Then I won't go!"
Ge Ya said, "I am a demon by nature, and I need no further testing. Junior brother, go by yourself!"
Since they wouldn't go, Xie Feng went to the island by himself.
The island was quite large, with dry land covered with dense grass and wildflowers. Xie Feng kicked up dust with every step he took.
In the very center of the island stands a huge bronze mirror, its surface blurry and constantly rippling, because a hazy curtain of water covers it.
Xie Feng stared at the water curtain, and without hesitation, he raised his hand and lifted it!
Wow...
The water curtain fell to the ground, revealing the true face of the bronze mirror.
It was pitch black inside!
For some reason, Xie Feng thought of the magic mirror from Snow White in his past life, and he asked seriously, "Magic mirror on the wall, am I the most handsome man in the world?"
Mirror:"..."
Xie Feng: "..."
Okay, he was being naughty!
Composing himself, he became serious and stared at the mirror. For some reason, he felt inexplicably dizzy. As he reached up to hold his head, an unusual image appeared in the mirror!
It was a dark place!
Xie Feng looked over, and the next second, he was inside!
There was a barrier of iron bars in front of him.
prison!
This is a prison!
Xie Feng's pupils flickered slightly, but he was outside the prison!
A beam of light quietly shone into the dimly lit cell, and two men dressed in black, their clothes bearing white lightning bolt symbols, entered, exuding a menacing and imposing aura.
They stormed into the cell, swords in hand, and one of them cautiously locked the door.
Before them appeared a white-clad figure, limbs suspended high in the air, disheveled and on the verge of death.
By the dim light, Xie Feng could see his face.
Mu Bingxing!
Xie Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly became highly tense. He kept telling himself that this was an illusion, and he couldn't be swayed by it, he couldn't fall for the mirror's trick!
But for some reason, he suddenly remembered the scene when he first met his master, when his master was surrounded by Silver Lightning. At the time, he also thought it was an illusion, but what happened later? It couldn't be more real!
There's a saying that goes, "The truth is often spoken in jest." So, are real events always presented as illusions?
Xie Feng was in a state of utter confusion. At that moment, the two men in black raised their swords and slashed down at Mu Bingxing, blood splattering out. This scene was not as bloody and cruel as Xie Feng's single sword strike that killed ten thousand people, but because it was his master, it tore his heart apart!
Mu Bingxing let out a painful wail, and gradually, the sound disappeared, as he turned into a pile of parts.
Xie Feng was both shocked and anxious. He wanted to rush over, but a layer of water always blocked his way.
The man in black prepared to burn Mu Bingxing's body. Xie Feng's eyes instantly turned red, and the Northern Nether Heaven-Subduing Fire burst forth!
"Let go of Master..."
He gritted his teeth as he spoke, completely forgetting that he was still in the dreamlike past. His master, senior brother, and Xiao Shang —these four people were Xie Feng's bottom line; they could easily make him lose his temper...
At the critical moment, a woman in a silver dress floated in. Through a curtain of water, she coldly said, "This is an illusion. Don't let it cloud your judgment. Go back!"
With that, he punched Xie Feng, sending him flying back out of the mirror!
Long Cangxue stood silently, Xie Feng's reddened eyes repeatedly flashing through her mind, and finally sighed:
"It seems no one is immune to learning to lie. Actually, you read that right, it's true, except this was your master twenty years ago."
" Xie Feng, now, I'm making a unilateral agreement with you: if you can reach the Ninth Universe and possess truly world-destroying power, then I will tell you who your master's enemy is! I just hope you won't be too surprised then..."
After being slapped out of the Past Like a Dream Mirror by Long Cangxue's palm, Xie Feng was stunned for a long time before finally coming back to his senses.
I was careless! I was careless again!
He shook his head, feeling a bit disgusted with himself...
At that moment, a golden light emanated from the mirror. Xie Feng looked and saw several lines of golden characters suddenly appear on the mirror's surface—
Congratulations on passing the test!
[Next, you can choose to save one person. Will you save them?]
[whether]
Xie Feng was stunned. So this is clever? He hadn't even processed the situation yet!
He chose yes.
The handwriting in the mirror changed, and new options appeared.
[Please select your preferred treatment station]
[Ice Platform][Chrysanthemum Platform][Chopping Board]
Xie Feng: "..."
What the heck is a cutting board?
Are we the fish on the chopping block, at their mercy?
After asking Kong Qiusu, he chose the Chrysanthemum Terrace, since it was the only one available, and it seemed more comfortable to lie on...

[Skeleton][Memory][Flesh]
Needless to say, it's definitely the memories. That's why I came to Purple Paths and Red Dust Road in the first place!
After all, the physical body can be found, but once memories are gone, they are truly gone.
