The Emberless Mirror Breaks Through the Realm

The last vestiges of the banquet's clamor slowly sank beneath the sea of clouds. One by one, the suspended halos extinguished, and the starlight-like lamps trailed their afterglow into the night sky. The Boundless Realm Divine Sect, once a scene of bustling excitement, returned to profound tranquility, the light and shadow between the halls softening and lingering.

It was as if the entire world, after experiencing a grand spectacle, was slowly gathering its breath. Qin Yu descended from the high platform, his robes fluttering gently in the night breeze. His footsteps landed on the long white jade steps, and subtle patterns of light spread with each step, then quietly faded away.

Ye Wuhen was already waiting below the steps. Seeing Qin Yu descend, his smile still lingering, he immediately stepped forward, "Brother Qin, come, come, let me take you to see your palace. The sect has really gone all out." As soon as he finished speaking, he took off into the air first, and Qin Yu followed. The two figures streaked across the sky above the sect.

Under the cover of night, the Boundless Realm Divine Sect was magnificent, with its palaces floating in the sea of clouds, long bridges spanning the peaks, and spirit towers rotating, causing slight fluctuations in space, like slowly turning hubs of heaven and earth, with light and starlight intertwining to create a vast picture.

A moment later, a freestanding, floating palace appeared in front of them. The palace was made entirely of deep blue and gilded metal, and its structure resembled flowing crystal. Starry patterns slowly moved across the walls, like a universe compressed into a solid form. The palace was rootless and suspended in the air, yet faint spatial ripples spread around it, as if it were stabilizing itself.

Before the palace was a vast floating courtyard, paved with white jade, with countless slender chains of light hanging from its edges. At the ends of these chains hung specks of starlight, which swayed gently in the breeze, like countless stars that had not yet fallen.

In the center of the courtyard, a pool of spiritual water flows quietly, its surface still, yet reflecting the entire night sky and the sect's halls, as if encompassing the whole world. All around are layers of spiritual plants, their leaves shimmering with a faint silver light, rustling softly as they sway gently.

Ye Wuhen landed at the edge of the courtyard, opened his arms, and laughed, "Brother Qin, this is your place now. How about it, isn't it grand enough?" Qin Yu's gaze swept over the entire palace and courtyard, and he nodded slightly, his tone carrying a hint of sincere admiration, "Brother Ye, you're too kind!!!"

Ye Wuhen laughed heartily, his expression a mixture of pride and sincerity. "Haha, Brother Qin, this is nothing. Besides, the sect's current glory owes a great deal to your resources, hehe!"

Qin Yu chuckled lightly, "Brother Ye, you flatter me. Those resources are nothing more than a small favor." Ye Wuhen waved his hand, "Alas, it's not a small favor at all. Brother Qin, you truly have no idea how sought-after those things are."

As he spoke, he led Qin Yu into a garden pavilion deep within the courtyard. The pavilion was suspended above the spiritual water, with slender filaments of light hanging from its four corners. The filaments swayed gently, making the entire space appear dreamlike and ethereal. The two sat down, and on the stone table in the pavilion, a pot of immortal tea automatically floated up. The tea water transformed into a pale blue light stream that poured into the cup, and the rising mist carried a faint starlight.

The two sat facing each other and drank.

Ye Wuhen took a sip of tea, his expression relaxing. "Brother Qin, it's rare to have some leisure time now. You should enjoy it at the sect for a while; such peaceful times don't come often."

Qin Yu picked up his teacup, his gaze falling on the reflection in the water, and said calmly, "I have indeed thought about enjoying some time."

The tea sloshed slightly, and the reflection gently shattered and then reformed.

He put down his teacup, his tone shifting slightly, "However, I do have something important to take care of."

Ye Wuhen raised an eyebrow, his expression immediately turning serious. "Important matter? Brother Qin, do you need the assistance of the sect disciples? You can dispatch any disciple, steward, or elder of the sect at any time; I will obey your orders."

Qin Yu chuckled and waved his hand. "Haha, it's nothing particularly important, just a personal matter of mine."

Ye Wuhen nodded, "Oh, since it's Brother Qin's personal matter, I won't press the matter further."

Qin Yu nodded slightly and continued, "That's right. I also have two friends who should have joined the Chi Lineage by now, so I'd like to visit them tomorrow and catch up."

After listening, Ye Wuhen smiled and nodded, "Oh, that's easy, that's simple."

Qin Yu stood up, his robes fluttering in the wind. "Well, it's getting late. Brother Ye, you should go back and rest too. We can contact you anytime if anything comes up."

Ye Wuhen also stood up. "Okay, then Brother Qin should get some rest too."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

The next moment, Ye Wuhen's figure flickered and disappeared into the night sky as a streak of light.

The courtyard returned to quiet, the starlight flickered gently, and the reflections rippled on the water's surface.

Qin Yu turned and stepped into the palace. The palace doors opened silently, revealing an interior space that resembled another world unfolding before him. Light and shadow flowed across the floor, and layers of space overlapped, seemingly extending endlessly. He walked to the center of the palace, raised his hand, and the storage crystal core vibrated slightly, causing an ancient mirror to slowly appear.

The Emberless Mirror.

The mirror was pitch black, swallowing all light and shadow. The surrounding space sank slightly the moment it appeared, as if even its very existence was compressed.

Qin Yu stared at the mirror, his voice deep and clear, "Now, it's time to keep my promise and take the three of them to that Limitless Final Abyss."

A fleeting, elusive ripple seemed to pass through the depths of the mirror's surface as the night quietly faded away.

The next day, before dawn.

Qin Yu stood outside Ye Wuhen's palace. The entire area remained silent, with only the distant spirit tower slowly rotating. He raised his hand and placed a storage bag in front of the palace door. As the bag fell, the space sank slightly, as if bearing an unimaginable weight.

With a light tap of his fingertip, a text and message slowly materialized and fell into his storage bag:

"Brother Ye, there are one billion Supreme Transformation Source Crystal and ten billion God-Level Resonance Crystal here. Consider it a gift for joining the sect. I hope to use these resources to further strengthen the sect. I have some personal matters to attend to. After I finish, I will return to the sect so we can have a drink together."

The writing slowly blended in, and Qin Yu, no longer lingering, turned and took a step forward, causing space to crack silently.

His figure had vanished from the spot, as if he had never been there.

The instant the space cracked open, no sound was heard. A tiny fracture suddenly appeared in a corner of the Third Multidimensional Universe, the Annihilation Continent. The fracture seemed to be gently lifted by some invisible force. At this moment, the texture of heaven and earth was peeled away, revealing a crack, as if a blank page of the entire world had been turned over.

Qin Yu in the void, his robes fluttering slowly in the Annihilation air currents. His gaze fell on the boundary wall that had not yet fully materialized. The power deep within his Fate Soul in his sea of consciousness trembled slowly. The Annihilation Devil Pupil - Final Spirit Core glowed faintly deep between his brows, and an almost imperceptible black light flashed across his eyes.

The next moment, he raised his hand, neither striking nor releasing any power; his fingertips lightly touched the void.

The moment that finger fell, the entire space seemed to be redefined. The boundary was no longer an "obstacle" but a layer of unfinished "narrative". Qin Yu's will extended inward along this point, like an invisible ink, directly writing a path in the structure of heaven and earth.

The cracks expanded silently, without any signs of tearing or the aftershocks of collapse.

The entire boundary wall seemed to have been erased, leaving an absolutely smooth passage. Within this passage, there was no light, no darkness, and no perceptible medium; only a chilling emptiness.

As Qin Yu stepped inside, his figure vanished, and the passage closed automatically behind him, as if it had never been opened.

The next instant, he found himself standing in a space completely detached from external logic.

There is no direction, no up or down, no trace of the passage of time. The space is like a frozen abyss, or a mirror that has not yet reflected any image. Everything is in an undefined state.

Qin Yu stood there, motionless, his consciousness slightly expanding before he directly transmitted his voice using the power of his Fate Soul.

"Yingling." The sound didn't travel; the response appeared the instant it was uttered.

A gentle ripple appeared somewhere in space, and a figure almost identical to Qin Yu emerged from the void. It was the Yingling Avatar of the Annihilation Abyss Epoch. His gaze was calm, and his tone was simple, "What is it?"

Qin Yu looked at him, his tone calm, "Go and summon the Void Finality Saint Emperor, the Primordial Dao-Extinguishing True Emperor, and the Eternal Annihilation Heavenly Emperor, and have them come here."

Yingling nodded, "Okay, I'll summon them right away." He turned and disappeared into the space.

The entire space fell silent once more, but after a short while, three auras of different levels descended almost simultaneously.

The void trembled slightly, and three figures appeared from different directions. Each figure had their aura extremely restrained, yet the moment they appeared, the entire space felt slightly lower.

The three landed, cupped their hands in unison, and said in respectful, low voices, "Greetings, Master." Qin Yu raised his hand, "No need for such formalities."

His gaze slowly swept over the three of them, then he spoke calmly, "I summoned you here today because of what I promised you."

As soon as he finished speaking, all three of them trembled simultaneously. Qin Yu continued, "I have found a way to reach the Limitless Final Abyss."

The moment the words fell, the eyes of the Void Finality Saint Emperor narrowed sharply, and a barely perceptible fluctuation appeared in the aura of the Primordial Dao-Extinguishing True Emperor.

The Eternal Annihilation Heavenly Emperor stepped forward, his voice trembling with barely suppressed emotion, "Master... really?"

Qin Yu nodded, "Mm." At this moment, the three of them could no longer remain absolutely calm, Limitless Final Abyss.

That was their place of origin, their true "origin," and a place they could never return to.

Now, that road has been reopened.

Qin Yu turned to Yingling, "I'll take those three with me for a while. Go and inform Senior Mengxi and Mengxin to temporarily take over the defense of these three areas."

Yingling cupped her hands in greeting, "Okay, I'll make the arrangements right away." Her figure vanished again, and Qin Yu looked at the three of them, "Let's go, we're ready to depart."

The three bowed simultaneously, "Yes, Master." The next moment...

The three figures began to shrink, their auras compressed layer by layer, standing beside Qin Yu. Qin Yu raised his hand, and the space beneath his palm slowly closed.

The entire Annihilation Abyss Epoch passage was completely sealed off at this moment, and all traces of life vanished, as if this encounter had never happened.

The void opened again, and Qin Yu led the three of them out, where they stood in a higher-dimensional, disordered space.

There are no coordinates, no directions, and even the concept of "going somewhere" is vague here.

Qin Yu slowly raised his hand, and a wisp of "existence" that could not be locked gently emerged from within the storage crystal core.

The moment the Emberless Mirror appeared, space began to change. There was neither tremor nor collapse, but rather it completely lost its meaning.

Everything around began to loosen, the boundaries of space became blurred, and the originally stable dimensional layers began to fade and soften, like paper soaked in water.

Qin Yu's divine sense directly touched the Emberless Mirror, and in an instant, all the rules surrounding him simultaneously lost their support.

The lines of cause and effect began to break, the structure of logic began to collapse, and the outline of existence became transparent, but his consciousness did not retreat.

Instead, it pressed even deeper into that void, and with the Rule Deconstruction silence, all laws of heaven and earth rapidly disintegrated in his perception.

In the state of Silent Illumination and Cognitive Ascension, his divine consciousness was no longer projected outwards but compressed to its Ultimate. All opposition and definitions were stripped away, leaving only the purest awareness.

In that instant of silent illumination, touching the essence, he no longer "used" the Emberless Mirror; he merged with the nothingness itself.

The next moment, Qin Yu opened his eyes and slowly took a step forward. There was no space beneath his feet, but a passageway had already been created.

The Emberless Mirror trembled slightly, and a "boundary" that could not be detected by any sense unfolded in front of it; it was not a rift.

It wasn't a passage, but rather an "undefined destination." The three emperors stood behind him, unable to see the entrance.

They couldn't perceive the path either, but they knew it was the entrance to the Limitless Final Abyss.

Qin Yu raised his hand and made a gentle stroke, as if the entire void had been sliced open, revealing a path entirely composed of "nothingness" that slowly appeared before his eyes.

At the end of the path, there was no light, no darkness, only an absolute silence that even "nothingness" could not describe. Qin Yu did not stop.

As soon as they stepped in, the three emperors followed closely behind. The moment their figures entered the passage, the entrance closed by itself, and the entire space returned to its original state.

It was as if no one had ever touched that realm; only a faint, almost imperceptible lingering echoed slowly in the depths of nothingness.

--The Limitless Final Abyss has been opened.
