Winter Lord looked up at the Mental Image Remnants, his expression a mixture of confusion and faint resentment. "How come only the two of us didn't even get a trial?"
After magical girls and witches were successively kicked out, the news was received here as well.
Once inside the Mental Image Remnants, there will be a trial in the world of memories, and all those who fail will be kicked out.
Could it be that we're not strong enough?
Bai Mei, standing beside him, tilted her head and said, "After all, in terms of strength, Winter Lord is New Sprout, while I am just Bud."
Many people were transported back to the city area in their memories, leaving only the two of them near the Mental Image Remnants.
"I thought with An Shiyu there, we could go in and help the sect leader," Winter Lord sighed. "Now look what's happened, we can't help at all, we can only wait here."
Bai Mei was holding onto Winter Lord's arm.
Actually, when Winter Lord first took her in, Bai Mei loved to hug Winter Lord's arm and lean against her.
Because Jiang Si was very cold-hearted at that time, the young Bai Mei didn't dare to get close to her.
It was only later, when they got to know each other better and Jiang Si told her those online novel stories every day, that Bai Mei realized that her master wasn't actually that cold-hearted.
He was simply indifferent; it didn't matter whether he distanced himself from him or got close to him. Later on, Bai Mei preferred to pester Jiang Si to tell her stories, so she rarely got close to Winter Lord anymore.
Now that only the two of them remained, Bai Mei naturally took Winter Lord's hand and said softly, "If Lady Winter Lord is worried, you can go back to the Azure Cloud Sect to rest first. I will stay here and wait for Master to come out."
"No need. Yumo's exams are over, and Four Leaves Six Leaves's exams are still a while away. I don't need to worry about Blue Flower either..."
Listening to Winter Lord ramble on about the other disciples in the sect, remembering everything clearly, big and small, Bai Mei couldn't help but admire him, "You really do remember everything!"
"I just remember the things I like."
"You only like Yumo and a few others, that's so biased."
Winter Lord touched Bai Mei's head with her forehead. "What are you saying, you little pig? I like everyone in the Azure Cloud Sect, including you."
"I was clearly the first one, shouldn't you like me more?"
"The first one won't get any special privileges."
"Does Winter Lord not have any special privileges with Master either?"
Winter Lord pinched her soft, delicate cheek. "Your little mouth is getting more and more talkative. Weren't you quite well-behaved when you were little?"
"I was wrong..."
After exchanging a few words, Bai Mei, with her eyes closed, glanced back and said, "My students are here; I'll go see them."
"Well, Bai Mei doesn't need to stay here with me any longer. She should go back to Jiangming as soon as possible. I heard that Jiangming doesn't have Full Blossom Magical Girls right now. If a Calamity Beast appears, it might be difficult to handle."
Bai Mei turned to look at the Mental Image Remnants again, "What a pity."
"What's wrong?"
"It's a pity I didn't go in," Bai Mei said softly. "I also wanted to witness the power of Full Bloom magical girl."
"He won't be stronger than your master."
"Um."
After saying that, Winter Lord suddenly remembered something, "Oh, right, Jiegeng messaged me yesterday, why did you steal her spot in the preliminary round?"
" Winter Lord, I'm innocent!" Bai Mei said softly. "She was the one who wanted to compete with me. I told her that if I won, she had to help me by letting Qian Jing and the others see the world, and she agreed."
"... Jiegeng is still so reckless." Winter Lord sighed. "No matter what, you should still give in to them."
"Knew."
Bai Mei walked towards her apprentice, and on a whim, glanced back halfway.
Winter Lord stood atop the iceberg, twirling the umbrella in her hand, snowflakes dancing around her.
A vast, white sea.
Snow on the cold river.
However, Winter Lord doesn't seem like a fisherman; he's more like a waiting-for-husband rock...
She found it quite amusing to think that way.
When she was little, Winter Lord loved to stick close to her master and would become restless if she was separated from him for even a short while.
At that time, she always felt that Winter Lord couldn't live without his master, that he was his master's little shadow.
But later, Lord Winter Lord single-handedly supported the Azure Cloud Sect until now.
Winter Lord is much stronger than I imagined.
Just as he was preparing to greet his students and see how Qian Jing and the others were doing with their grades.
The Mental Image Remnants behind me suddenly throbbed!
The entire Mental Image Remnants trembled continuously, and then purple magic power kept overflowing from the gaps everywhere!
" Winter Lord."
Bai Mei called out from afar.
She didn't intend to do anything; after all, she was just a swordsman.
The Mental Image Remnants seemed to collapse, continuously spewing out large amounts of magic power, but the purple magic power within it was increasing.
Winter Lord raised her head, looked at the unstable Mental Image Remnants, and took a deep breath.
If this continues and the Mental Image Remnants continue to collapse, the spread of its power will likely extend all the way to the small town of Anyang outside.
The magical girls from the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau, who had been keeping watch nearby, were flying over. However, thanks to the magic circle specially prepared by Winter Lord — the Four Leaves Six Leaves Lesser Heaven and Earth Curtain-Hung Moonshadow Formation —these magical girls could not get close for the time being.
Winter Lord stretched out his hand, and a slowly rotating ice-colored lotus flower rose from the sea.
The floating ice on the sea surface was pushed against the seawater, causing it to surge violently in the direction in which the lotus flower was rotating.
In an instant, the sound of continuous waves rose from this sea area—a huge whirlpool had appeared!
Above the vortex, in the sky obscured by the strange phenomenon of the Mental Image Remnants, boundless clouds rapidly gathered, and in the blink of an eye, they covered the Shrouding the Heavens and blocked out the moon, accompanied by lightning and thunder.
Earth-grade cultivation technique, All Phenomena Tribulation Cloud Art!
Before the tribulation clouds could condense the image of heavenly lightning, countless ice crystals in the clouds were drawn to rotate by the ice-colored lotus below, and the sky instantly transformed into an inverted sea.
With a tiny ice lotus as the starting point, the rotation of the sea and sky connects at this moment.
Then, a colossal wave was unleashed!
Waterspout!
A massive waterspout engulfed the entire Mental Image Remnants, and the raging airflow, if left unchecked, could potentially endanger Anyang.
However, Bai Mei did nothing; she simply stood there watching.
Leaves quietly drifted across the horizon, countless leaves emitting a pale green glow dancing in the air along certain trajectories.
The Lesser Heaven and Earth Curtain-Hung Moonshadow Formation once again proved its effectiveness.
The sea area where the gray-blue water column was located seemed to have an infinite distance between it and Anyang. By the time the howling wind reached Bai Mei, only the salty smell of the sea remained.
Winter Lord stood in the raging wind, quietly watching the natural wonder she had created.
Large amounts of seawater continuously poured over the entire Mental Image Remnants.
The seawater Freeze rapidly upon contact with the Mental Image Remnants, and the flowing seawater permeated every part of the Mental Image Remnants, thus freezing the entire surface of the Mental Image Remnants.
Enveloped by the waterspout, the overflowing magic continuously irrigates and Freeze the damaged areas once more.
Soon, the enormous Mental Image Remnants had transformed into a giant ice ball.
However, the strange, fragmented Mental Image Remnants did not sink to the seabed despite their mass; instead, they continued to float on the surface.
Even Winter Lord couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief at this moment.
Creating a waterspout, a natural wonder, is actually not that difficult. What's more complicated is the operation after the waterspout engulfs the Mental Image Remnants.
Her ability wasn't originally about controlling water; it was about manipulating ice to precisely control the seawater flowing into every crevice of the Mental Image Remnants.
It is truly a mentally and physically exhausting task.
Finally, the entire Mental Image Remnants was transformed into a giant ice ball, continuously irrigated by water columns cascading from the sea and sky, with scenes resembling cities flashing through the transparent ice layer from time to time.
It is indeed extremely magnificent and spectacular!
The magical girls from the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau, who had originally intended to approach, were all stunned and stopped in their tracks, gazing at the enormous and awe-inspiring ice ball. For a moment, they paced back and forth, unsure of what to do.
Bai Mei was originally going to find the student, turned back.
He steadied the still motionless Winter Lord, saying, "If you don't break through to the Full Blossom stage, it'll be quite strenuous, won't it?"
"It's alright." Winter Lord pushed away his eldest disciple. "It only takes a little effort, but it's not difficult."
Bai Mei nodded and glanced into the distance.
Winter Lord looked up at the enormous ice sphere, the Mental Image Remnants. The seawater continued to pour in, and the terrifying sense of collapse showed no signs of abating.
"Hopefully, the sect leader can resolve this soon..."
Jiang Si originally intended to rush straight to the last floor and fight the Magical Girl Mujin.
After all, as the first Full Bloom magical girl she had ever met, Jiang Si was eager to test her abilities.
However, the layered structure of this Mental Image Remnants makes it easy for people to get lost.
Various kinds of Mirror Beast appeared one after another, and the quality and number of Mirror Beast increased as the story progressed.
When Jiang Si reached the seventh floor, he could already see the city full of A-level Calamity Beast.
Even when transformed into Calamity Dragon, it is extremely difficult to deal with; a single breath of dragon fire is not enough to kill it, it takes ten seconds or so for it to be completely suffocated.
In this situation, many A-level Calamity Beast have room to resist.
As we all know, there's a world of difference between killing someone in one hit and not killing them in one hit, let alone not being able to kill them even after ten hits.
He began to struggle on the seventh floor, and by the eighth floor, he saw the entire city filled with Calamity Dragon.
In just a short while, the opponent had already copied hundreds or thousands of its Calamity Dragon as if they were just regular minions.
Even when Jiang Si looked at the sky, the ground, the buildings, and the streets, all filled with clones of the Calamity Dragon, she sensed a hint of trouble.
Of course, that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is the Magical Girl Mujin who is watching him from afar at the end of the defensive line.
Every now and then, they'd suddenly surprise it.
Slashes that pierce through space, thrusts, or simply various building collisions and magical impacts—they all remain on the ninth floor where she is located, merely harassing and attacking her.
Jiang Si needed to deal with the sudden attacks of these Mujin while simultaneously clearing out the Calamity Beast.
It's like those annoying levels in all sorts of trashy games.
The scales of the Calamity Dragon can withstand most damage, and it has an extraordinary resistance to Filthy Magic Power.
Its effectiveness in physical defense is also exceptional, making it difficult for Jiang Si to break through in one go.
The hundreds and thousands of Calamity Dragon weren't there to defeat it, but simply to hold it back.
Then the Magical Girl Mujin's attack from afar will suddenly descend, knocking him back to the Origin the defensive line.
Of course, the opponent's attacks were also gradually getting stronger, seemingly testing the limits of their own side.
After falling again, he didn't stop for a moment and rushed towards the eighth floor again. On the way, he found that Xilan had inexplicably followed him and was hanging on his tail.
" Si Motu, Xilan swears to follow you to the death..."
Jiang Si flung her to the fifth floor with her tail.
When Xilan fell dizzily to the fifth floor, she initially thought, "Why is Lord Si Motu so mean, throwing me out like this?"
Is there something you're unhappy about about yourself?
Then, when I looked up, I saw a familiar figure.
Magical girl Qingluan.
The magical girls, who always stick together, are now alone, and they look like they're covered in injuries.
Xilan understood immediately.
This is the task Si Motu has given himself!
Capture the lone magical girl here!
That's why I deliberately threw myself onto the fifth floor!
Moreover, because he was worried that he was not strong enough, he even deliberately threw himself in front of a lone magical girl.
She was so moved she almost cried.
"I will absolutely not betray Si Motu's trust!" With this determination, she stood in front of Qingluan.
"Don't even think about getting close to Si Motu..."
Before she could finish speaking, Qingluan had already kicked her to the ground.
Qingluan breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the unconscious Xilan.
"It's been a long time since I've played against such a weak opponent."
"I've almost started to doubt myself as we fought our way through this..."
"The existence of the Witch Association is quite necessary..."
Little White beside her smiled, "Yes, you must have had a long journey. But Qingluan, your wand is almost broken, isn't it?"
Qingluan glanced at her magic wand, which already had cracks from her previous battle with Si Motu.
Although it couldn't be repaired much, there wasn't enough time, and after several intense battles, it showed signs of cracking again.
The magic wand is an important asset for the magical girls of South China, although they will not lose their fighting ability even if they lose their magic wand.
However, its combat capabilities will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.
"It's okay."
"It's still related," Little White said. "If you lose your wand and can't use your card, your combat power will drop by more than half. Little Qing, we got separated from Hongmian and Iris. If you lose half of your combat power, you might die!"
"It's alright." Qingluan took a deep breath, dragging the unconscious Xilan forward step by step. "Now that I'm here, I'm prepared. I need to know Full Bloom's secret, save my senior, and resolve the crisis of the Mental Image Remnants. If I can't do it, then I'll die here."
"Yes, of course I know. Little Qing is a good girl, an exceptionally talented magical girl. After causing her mother's death, she fought relentlessly, possessing an innate awareness of sacrificing her life for others. To make up for her past mistakes, Little Qing has worked incredibly hard."
Little White rubbed her cheek against hers, "You don't value your own life at all. You were like this back in Jiangming City. But, the magical girl Qingluan can't just watch her teammates die, right? Iris and Hongmian are probably still fighting somewhere, facing mortal danger. Now that you've lost most of your fighting strength, how are you going to save them?"
"They might die because you've lost your fighting ability."
Qingluan stopped, took a deep breath, and looked around.
She was still trapped in the space of the Beihai. This was the fifth layer of the nine-layer defense line. On the way, due to the Mirror Beast and the sudden attack from above, Hongmian and Iris had fallen to an unknown location, and she couldn't find them at all.
The space here is layered upon layered, Qingluan can only continue forward. As long as she keeps moving forward, she will definitely encounter it.
If we turn back, we might miss it somewhere.
"Since you've already prepared yourself for sacrifice, why not make your life more meaningful and valuable?" Little White whispered in her ear. "If Full Bloom, with your strength, Qingluan, saving Iris and Hongmian, and resolving the Mental Image Remnants, will be no problem."
Qingluan hugged Little White, her childhood companion, without the slightest hesitation, "When that time comes, I will, Little White. You'll be with me, right? Help me tell Iris and the others everything about Full Bloom, and then go save our senior."
"Of course." Little White tilted its head, revealing a gentle smile, "We're the best of friends!"
She hugged her friend and returned a reassuring smile, "Yeah, as long as Little White is here, I'm not afraid of anything."
The enormous dragon body descended from the sky once more!
Qingluan, who had wanted to share some of her thoughts, immediately dragged the unconscious Xilan to the side.
The terrifying dragon's body crushed the buildings in Beihai, and the entire city—no, the entire space—seemed to let out a mournful cry.
The enormous crater is constantly swallowing up the surrounding high-rise buildings, streets, and streetlights, and the cracks are even widening.
There were signs of collapse on the ground, Qingluan felt the space beneath her feet was twisting and crumbling under the immense pressure.
But it was ultimately not breached, and when the smoke and dust cleared, the enormous Calamity Dragon lay in the deep pit.
Then he got up and sat in the deep pit like a good child, looking up at the sky that had been pierced through.
The pale green magical girl's figure gradually disappeared, and the space began to heal again.
"Did you see the Iris and the Hongmian?"
Qingluan asked a question, but received no response. The Calamity Dragon ignored her and fell into deep thought.
The power of the Calamity Dragon is insufficient.
Jiang Si took a few deep breaths, and after rushing around a few times, he was able to figure it out pretty well.
In this state, it's impossible to reach the ninth floor, after all, it's the remnant of a Full Bloom magical girl's Mental Image Remnants.
"Are you alright? Didn't we say that charging straight in like this would be difficult...?"
Jiang Si tilted her head to look at An Shiyu, who had inexplicably reappeared on her shoulder, "Do you know where the Miracle Seed that disappeared in the Mental Image Remnants went?"
An Shiyu was stunned. " Miracle Seed? The Miracle Seed wouldn't disappear within the Mental Image Remnants. We've never heard of such a thing."
Jiang Si glanced at her body again; apart from her own purple Miracle Seed, all the other seeds were still there.
Only the purple Miracle Seed disappeared.
"There's only one thing that will disappear from the Mental Image Remnants," An Shiyu whispered. "That's what other magical girls created using their own Personal Reality —essentially fantasy objects—that will vanish due to the clash of their Personal Reality rules..."
Jiang Si was taken aback. "I've never encountered anything like this in other people's Mental Image Domain."
Iris's Mental Image Domain did not interfere with her Miracle Seed at all.
"Even Mental Image Domain have their pros and cons. In any case, this is ultimately the Mental Image Domain of a magical girl in Full Bloom..."
"I see, that makes sense."
Jiang Si murmured, "No wonder, I couldn't find it."
An Shiyu whispered again, "Why are you looking for this? Boys can't use Miracle Seed. Miracle Seed can only transform you into a magical girl. You're already amazing for being able to transform into Calamity Beast..."
Ultimately, it comes down to one's Dao heart.
Jiang Si spoke calmly, raising her dragon claws and clenching them tightly together. "In the end, the path of this world depends on one word: faith."
Just as An Shiyu was about to ask what it meant...
She suddenly felt an unusual throbbing in her chest!
Thump!
The Mental Image Remnants trembled violently.
Then, as if melting, pure magic began to seep out from the edges of the Mental Image Remnants.
And this magic flowed and dripped, gradually changing from pale green to purple!
The magic, which was like liquid, turned purple and instantly burned like flames. The flames spread extremely quickly, and soon the entire Beihai was submerged in a purple ocean!
Immediately, cold blue magic continued to cover the edges, solidifying and Freeze.
The magic from the other layers continued to converge here, trying to extinguish the flames and melt the ice.
But when the pale green magic fell, it only produced a violent explosion.
The muffled explosions, isolated from other spaces, continued to ring out.
Like the tolling of a bell.
Under the resounding bells, not only was the pure magic power within the Mental Image Remnants absorbed, but even the magic power of the Qingluan was being drawn in and gathered in the hands of the Calamity Dragon.
A rich, dazzling purple light continuously emanated from those ferocious and terrifying dragon claws!
"Just a seed, we can easily make another one!"
An Shiyu felt an intense obsession that was almost frightening, an obsession that seemed about to materialize!
They'll swallow her whole!
Everything in this world seemed to become insignificant under the intense desire, and blazing purple flames suddenly burst forth from the hands of the Calamity Dragon!
The dragon claw continued to melt in the purple flames until it transformed into a wiry, thin hand.
Then came the strong arms, muscles bulging, veins throbbing like raging snakes, and blood gushing uncontrollably from them!
And so, human hands grasped the light, and the overflowing miracle!
Every Mental Image Remnants seemed to emit a mournful cry, constantly peeling away its magic!
Qingluan and An Shiyu stared blankly at the terrifying Calamity Dragon.
A monster covered in Filthy Magic Power, yet constantly gathering the pure magic that belongs only to magical girls!
It is not something that comes from prayer or waiting.
It was something I achieved through my own hard work, bit by bit, by catching up, creating, and seizing it!
His miracles are unique!
A purple, pure Miracle Seed.
And that's how it ended up in his hands.
boom--!
The deep pit beneath their feet could no longer withstand the pressure.
Amidst the raging flames, space itself crumbled!
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he suddenly gripped the Miracle Seed tightly.
"Heaven and earth are ruthless."
A terrifying purple magical power permeated the nine-story space!
"Treating all things as straw dogs!"
