High up in the building, Bingtang let out a long sigh.
For her, it was still a bit of a struggle to spread the surveillance ice crystals throughout East China through her disciples, and even extend the ability to South China.
Although he has broken through to the Full Blossom and is now at the perfect level of the ninth revolution, he is still a little short of the final peak of perfection.
The reason for not making a breakthrough all this time is that I hope to complete this missing piece of perfection during the early stages of New Sprout.
Unfortunately, there's no time for that now.
Ten days have passed since Jiang Si disappeared in the Mental Image Remnants. During these ten days, the news of Jiang Si Jiang Si's disappearance has spread like wildfire in search of her.
Even ordinary people know about her now. Even elderly people living in remote areas, who are her company's employees, will ask everyone they meet, "Do you know Jiang Si? What is Jiang Si?"
Can't you hear me?
What is Jiang Si?
But we couldn't get any news from anywhere.
We need a way to enter the Land of Mirrors; hopefully, the Shuangsheng can do it smoothly.
"Sister Bingtang."
A shout pulled her back from her thoughts.
Sitting on the edge of the building, pressing down her hair which was being blown around by the strong wind, Bingtang turned around and looked at her. " Bai Mei, how are you?"
"We've located the TV station that spread the news."
Bai Mei said in a low voice, "It's controlled by the Witch Association. They've taken control of that TV station, and the witch who declared war in the name of the Azure Cloud Sect has also been captured."
Who dares to be so bold?
"His name is Xilan."
Bingtang paused for a moment, then seemed somewhat helpless, "It's her."
"Yes, the lackey who followed the sect leader after the Witch Association," Bai Mei said with a hint of murderous intent, "I originally intended to kill her."
Then he took out his phone and played the video.
Despite being captured, Xilan remained fearless, shouting loudly, "Who dares to kill me! Who dares to kill me! I am Si Motu's beloved general! Anyone who dares to kill me, Si Motu will certainly not let you get away with it—"
A magical girl next to her smashed her cane on the forehead, knocking Xilan unconscious.
"But she always said she was her master's confidante."
Bingtang shook her head. "Noisy fellow."
"Yes," Bai Mei added, "Master clearly doesn't like these noisy people."
But it was always kept by his side; perhaps it was indeed useful to his master.
So, I'll ask you again, do you want to kill him or not?
"No need. Just find a place to lock him up and we'll talk about it when the sect leader returns."
"Good."
As Bai Mei held up one finger and sent the message word by word, she asked, "Have you notified Keke yet? Isn't it a bit much to keep dragging this on?"
"I've already notified them." Bingtang rubbed her temples, sounding somewhat helpless. "I originally just wanted to say they're temporarily missing and can't be found, but—"
However, some failed to control their emotions.
Especially when watching the end, when Keke cries and says she has no family.
Even words of deception or comfort couldn't be uttered by Bingtang.
Bai Mei also sat down next to Bingtang, looking down at the tiny figures below, like ants, the flashing traffic lights, and the huge billboards.
The view from that high vantage point was icy cold and eerily lonely.
"Thank you for your hard work lately, Sister Bingtang."
"It's nothing to be ashamed of," Bingtang said dismissively. "As before, the approach to dealing with the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau remains unchanged. The Witch Association put on such a show, so misunderstandings are inevitable. If a conflict arises, everyone should try to avoid it. With the Sect Master absent, we cannot allow our relationship with the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau to deteriorate."
"Yes, I know. I also had Qian Jing and the others talk to them in Jiangming City. The Jiangming City Disaster Countermeasures Bureau received a favor from Master and helped clarify the situation this time."
" The Disaster Countermeasures Bureau in other places—" Bai Mei paused, "Originally, I planned to have Qingluan explain it."
Bingtang glanced at the chief disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect and noticed a slight trouble in her expression. "Hmm?"
"But the newly joined magical girl, Xingxuan, was originally from the Disaster Countermeasures General Bureau." Bai Mei rubbed her temples.
Upon hearing about this, she immediately volunteered, passionately declaring that she was determined to thwart the Spirit Hall's conspiracy, save Shrek Academy, and secure a major supporting role.
"You said yes to her?"
"She knelt down and hugged my legs, saying she wanted to be my true disciple—" Bai Mei with some relief. "I watched her excitedly shout that this was the plot point of besieging Bai Ritian and his wife, that I was actually in the prequel story, and that I must stop the Spirit Hall and prevent Bai San from being born." These kinds of words flew by.
"So I sent Qingluan along too."
"Okay, that's fine then. The Witch Association continue to exert pressure." Bingtang gently wiggled her pretty little leather shoes, kicking up dust and debris from the high-rise building.
Bai Mei tilted her head. "Why? Didn't they say Master was gone—"
"We can't let them Dao Sect is gone," Bingtang Tang said calmly. " The Azure Cloud Sect's attitude towards the Witch Association has always been one of absolute non-compliance, and it remains the same now. Otherwise, given that Shion's magic power was clearly present but Shion didn't appear, they might have become suspicious. We must be firm in our search for Jiang Si's whereabouts and not show any weakness."
"Hmm." Bai Mei asked again, "But even if this continues, it won't be able to be hidden for long—"
"I know," Bingtang Tang said softly. " Four Leaves and Six Leaves Clover have been exhausted these past few days, blocking countless Full Blossom- level probes and prophecies. But I've already made preparations for the rest, so when the time comes—"
"--The identities of outer disciples are mostly hidden. Destroying the records here will sever ties with the Azure Cloud Sect." Bingtang fiddled with the ice in front of her, which shimmered with images from various places, giving her a panoramic view. "Inner disciples work in groups of four and can transfer to local Disaster Countermeasures Bureau Disaster Countermeasures Bureau at any time. These bureaus receive political donations from the Ice-Colored Era Group year-round, allowing them to shelter magical girls without being questioned by headquarters. As for you true disciples, if you want to leave, I've already made arrangements for you in advance—"
"If Jiegeng heard what Bingtang Tang said, she'd definitely get angry and fight you," Bai Mei whispered. "And me too, of course."
"Heh." Bingtang Tang flicked Bai Mei's forehead with her finger. "Silly girl, it's just a temporary dismissal. If you really like Azure Cloud Sect, you can rebuild Azure Cloud Sect anytime the sect leader returns. People are the most important thing. As long as everyone is here, Azure Cloud Sect will not disappear. Of course, I don't think things will develop to that point."
Although the Witch Association's sudden declaration of war under the Azure Cloud Sect was somewhat unexpected, for Bingtang, it only meant a little more trouble.
It is still within a controllable range.
Golden Tea had only hinted to her that there were even more powerful magical girls above the Disaster Countermeasures General Bureau.
Although she didn't know if it was a threat or something else, it didn't matter to Bingtang Tang, because she didn't plan to antagonize the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau for the time being.
As long as we can maintain our relationship with Golden Tea, we shouldn't have to worry about the Disaster Countermeasures General Bureau for the time being.
Everyone just needs to focus on finding Jiang Si; Bingtang can handle everything else.
Bai Mei reached out and tidied the stray strands of hair at Bingtang Tang's temples that had been ruffled by the wind. "By the way, we've found the Witch Association's stronghold that the Shuangsheng mentioned earlier, the one that had contact with the Land of Mirrors."
"Have you found any information?"
"We only managed to find out about Alice of the Land of Mirrors."
Alice of the Land of Mirrors?
"Yes, it's possible to become exactly like a person in the real world and then replace them."
Bingtang Tang was taken aback. "Exactly the same? Replacing people in the real world?"
Bai Mei, somewhat puzzled, "What's wrong?"
"Our Azure Cloud Sect happens to have such a magical girl."
"Ah?"
"The girl your master rescued from the Beihai Witch Association's Laboratory, Magical Girl Rose, we thought she was an experiment of the Witch Association," said Bingtang in a low voice.
"She is Alice of the Land of Mirrors— " Bai Mei paused, "Or a victim?"
"I don't know." Bingtang shook her head. "Perhaps it's just a coincidence—I'll go ask."
As she spoke, she stood up, and Bai Mei followed suit, "If not, Sister Bingtang Tang—"
"It's nothing, just keep looking."
Bingtang said nonchalantly, "No matter where I am, I will find him. Even if I go to another world, I will still cross worlds to catch him."
As she spoke, Bingtang raised her hands, which were covered in light blue gloves, and gently scratched them in the air a few times, like cat paws. Although the action was somewhat playful, her tone remained emotionless.
"According to your master, I'm a persistent female ghost. No matter what, I'll haunt him relentlessly. Once I catch him, it won't end until he dies."
"I understand." Bai Mei's previously heavy heart relaxed slightly. "A single bow before the demon for three thousand years, a glance back at the mortal realm, and I will not become an immortal!"
"Go! Go! Go!"
Bai Mei looked at Bingtang, who was smiling, and handed her an umbrella. "Sister Bingtang, here you go."
Looking back, Bingtang shook her head. "Didn't I say I don't need it?"
"But Bai Mei still prefers Sister Bingtang Tang holding the umbrella." Bai Mei stubbornly handed it over, "It's new, consider it a gift."
"You."
With a slightly helpless smile, Bingtang finally accepted the umbrella. "I might not know how to use it."
"It's alright, just keep it with you." Bai Mei finally smiled. "When Master returns, he might be a little surprised to see you without an umbrella."
"They probably won't notice."
"We'll notice."
"Really?"
"Affim."
Although the construction of the Mental Image Domain was a bit slow, it ultimately didn't deceive him.
An Shiyu —or perhaps Mujin? Jiang Si wasn't quite sure, but in any case, she reconstructed the Mental Image Domain.
The Mental Image Domain is essentially the power of the magical girls' minds. So even if it is destroyed or lost, as long as the power of their minds is not exhausted, they can rebuild their own Mental Image Domain.
However, Mujin was ultimately just a remnant soul, and in reality, she was unable to reconstruct her Mental Image Domain on her own. After all, she no longer had a physical body, leaving only a trace of her consciousness. Therefore, she was actually reconstructing her Mental Image Domain through An Shiyu.
An Shiyu's magical girl powers are basically no different from Mujin's, so the reconstruction of the Mental Image Domain is not difficult.
However, the fact that one can only construct Mental Image Domain after fulfilling one's wishes reminded Jiang Si of the cultivation techniques in the world of immortal cultivation that require a perfect state of mind to cultivate.
These kinds of things have always been treasures.
I should consider getting one for myself.
However, compressing the Mental Image Domain is a problem.
The Mujin spent several days and nights, but in the end, it still failed to compress the Mental Image Remnants.
Are you sure the Mental Image Domain can really be compressed?
After being tormented for several days, Mujin finally broke down, "Are you sure this thing can really be compressed?!"
"I saw it with my own eyes, there's absolutely no mistake."
"We really can't figure it out!" Mujin rolled around on the grass. "This thing is originally this size, how could it be compressed? You must be seeing things!"
"It seems that the magical girl at her Full Bloom is stronger than you."
Jiang Si sighed, " Full Bloom, there are still differences."
39
Mujin jumped to her feet. "We can't pretend we didn't hear that! We've been in Full Bloom a week and conquered the entire Land of Mirrors!"
"Time means nothing; talent trumps everything." Jiang Si sneered. "In our cultivation Immortal Realm, even million-year-old cultivators are nothing more than dull-witted lambs to the slaughter before true geniuses; even a Dao Lord who has attained enlightenment for 129,600 years might just be a piece of cake on another Dao Lord's chessboard!"
"We're not that old—"
Mujin manipulated the small Mental Image Domain that she had painstakingly created using An Shiyu's body.
In reality, it's only about the size of a water tank. After all, An Shiyu is just Bud, and Mujin's own power is not enough right now. Creating Mental Image Domain the size of a water tank is already quite remarkable.
To continue compressing it is really asking too much of people.
Jiang Si, who was still exercising, finally stopped, stretched, and looked back at Mujin, who was playing with the Mental Image Domain.
These past few days, besides pondering the Mental Image Domain, I've been taking walks and chatting.
Although it wasn't anything strenuous, it was incredibly boring.
"Hey, is there any way to have a more intimate date that will get our hearts racing? Maybe we can compress it successfully. "Jiang Si nodded, pushed her to the ground, sat on Mujin, and held her legs down.
Mujin was taken aback by Jiang Si's audacious behavior.
He was so indifferent before, how did he suddenly become so beastly?
Could it be that after holding it in for so many days, he's finally finally stopped pretending?
After all, it's quite normal for a lone man and woman trapped in such a place to lose control.
However, when she was pinned down, Mujin panicked for a moment. "Wait, wait, we're not ready yet—"
She was actually a little hesitant about whether to call him An Shiyu.
An Shiyu had already accepted the confession, but Mujin herself hadn't actually felt anything yet.
However, as long as An Shiyu is satisfied, she can reconstruct the Mental Image Remnants.
Should we try this close contact first, see what it feels like, and then switch back to An Shiyu?
A demon and an angel are constantly battling within my heart.
It's okay, we've worked so hard for so many years, what's wrong with enjoying ourselves a little?
No, An Shiyu will get angry, so let's enjoy half of it first and then call An Shiyu over!
Wait, how come you two, angel and demon, are in cahoots?!
"Sit-ups, let's begin."
Mulan, who was still considering how far to refuse, stopped what Mujin was doing, her eyes widening. "Sit-ups?"
"Or you can do weighted push-ups." Jiang Si grabbed her hand and positioned her in a standard sit-up position, something like this—
Mulan stared blankly as Jiang Si began to teach her the proper posture, Mujin, looking up at the sky.
Having any expectations of you must be out of my mind!
Mujin, completely at Jiang Si's mercy, actually did a few sit-ups obediently.
"Exercise itself can improve control over magic; maybe if you exercise more, you'll find a way to compress it."
"Oh."
Looking at the Mujin, who seemed utterly despondent, Jiang Si fell into deep thought.
As expected, ordinary training is not very effective for Full Bloom magical girls.
Jiang Si let go of his hand, looked at the Mujin lying motionless on the grass, and shook her head. "Never mind, you should rest first. Once you're rested, we can do the final part of the date."
Mujin's previously empty eyes lit up, and she immediately sat up. "The final link! It must be—"
"Fighting."
Mujin lay back down as expected. "I knew it, haha, I guessed it all, I'm not disappointed at all."
"It's also part of the training; combat helps you find the knack for compressing your Mental Image Domain."
"Heh, you've transformed into a magical girl, and all we can do now is use An Shiyu's power. We definitely can't beat you. If you want to bully us, just say so. We'll just lie here and do whatever you want."
"I will not transform."
"Heh, you're lying."
"I, Jiang Si, have never lied to anyone in my life."
"Real?"
"Real."
Mujin jumped up with a "whoosh," shouting, "Fight! We'll fight! Today we're going to beat you to death, you stinking rock!"
Jiang Si nodded in satisfaction, "Good! That's the spirit! Life-or-death battles are the fastest way to improve, let's go!"
"If we don't beat you to death today, we're not called Mujin!"
Three minutes later.
"They surrendered! They surrendered!"
Mujin, lying in the large crater on the ground, held up Little White with tears in her eyes, saying, "I knew it, you just wanted to bully me."
Of course, Mujin hadn't expected that someone could actually fight a magical girl with just their physical body.
Mujin also specifically sensed Jiang Si's magic power. No matter whether the other party used Filthy Magic Power, she would immediately judge that Jiang Si was cheating in using magic power.
But no, from beginning to end, Jiang Si relied solely on her physical strength to beat her senseless.
I've never seen such an outrageous person!
No, he's not even human anymore! Mujin finally understood why the other person could remain unfazed even when facing two stunning beauties.
So their physiological structure is inhuman! How could a normal person kick the ground and create such a large crater?
He smashed the magical girl's costume with one punch and snapped her magic wand in half with a casual flick of his wrist!
If you didn't know better, you'd think it was Superman beating up a magical girl cosplayer at a comic convention.
The beating was so intense that even Mujin started to question her existence.
The middle Mujin originally wanted to use its wings to create distance and then use a high-attack, low-attack tactic.
But this monster leaped several meters high! It pulled her down and slammed her to the ground!
A grasshopper spirit reincarnated!
Furthermore, he had no sense of chivalry whatsoever, hitting girls, and even during training, he used lethal force, grabbing her ankles and slamming her to the ground!
Is this the final stage of the date, a life-or-death battle for lovers?
Only the winner can escape unscathed from the date, right?
How many girls can withstand your torment, yet you claim to have dating experience?
Is my date a Calamity Beast?
"Phew, not bad."
Jiang Si showed a hint of satisfaction, twisting her arms, "I've loosened up my muscles."
They're treating their lovers like exercise equipment.
Mujin shed tears of humiliation.
However, you know what, during the beating, Mujin did gain some new insights into magical compression.
The main reason is that An Shiyu's body belongs to her, and she was previously unfamiliar with controlling magic.
While being beaten, the desperate attempt to defend or retaliate caused the control over magic to Return to Truth rise to another level.
In addition, Jiang Si had been teaching her more refined methods of controlling magic during this time, and she had Return to Truth made progress.
Fortunately, Mu felt that the main reason was her innate intelligence.
With great difficulty, he extracted the Mental Image Domain from beneath him, and after materializing it, it transformed from a water tank into the size of a soccer ball.
"The structural contraction has reached its limit here. Further compression, well, that's just a matter of physical manipulation, and has nothing to do with magic control."
"She's still far inferior to other magical girls."
"Everyone's Mental Image Domain is different; some areas are easy, some are difficult. I really did my best."
"Thanks for your hard work."
As Jiang Si spoke, she took the soccer ball-sized Mental Image Domain.
Then, Mujin stared in disbelief as the boy suddenly grabbed both sides of the Mental Image Domain and slammed them down hard—"Ahhh!"
Mujin screamed as if she were being squeezed, "Our Mental Image Domain!"
Then he watched as the Mental Image Domain, which was the size of a soccer ball, was forcibly compressed to the size of a table tennis ball!
The crackling sound was deafening, and the Mental Image Domain seemed on the verge of collapse, yet it never quite did.
Even when compressed to the size of a seed, Jiang Si's hands were still clean and hairless inside!
Mujin's cries abruptly stopped, and she was somewhat stunned. "How... how come it didn't break?"
"After thinking about it for so many days, even a fool could figure it out."
Jiang Si chuckled, "The internal structure is nothing special. As long as the internal magical energy structure remains intact, the external structure can be maintained through physical compression."
How did you figure that out?
"Just a guess."
Mujin! I've become numb to it all; I'm no longer surprised by Jiang Si's amazing actions—that's just... incredible!
How did this guy see through the internal magical structure of the Mental Image Remnants at a glance? And how did he manage to keep it from collapsing? I totally understand!
The only miracle about magical girls is the moment they transform.
This guy is creating miracles for himself every single moment!
Then, watching as Jiang Si slashed his own belly, under Mujin's numb gaze, he stuffed the Mental Image Remnants into his body.
"What does this mean?"
This time, Mujin is truly numb.
" The Dao Seed should ideally be placed inside the body." Jiang Si Sigai looked at her understandingly, "Only inside the body is it the safest and most convenient."
"Is it uncomfortable to have a Beggar from Suxi stuffed inside your body?"
You'll get used to it.
"----Did you stuff a bunch of Suxi into your body? Also, An Shiyu, what's so admirable about this Kang guy? You should learn from him!"
Jiang Si Sikang paid attention to the Mujin, and thus sensed the Mental Image Domain within his body.
Activate the Mental Image Domain through magical stimulation, and then the dissipated spatial power will spread through the Mental Image Domain.
Next, simply create spatial fluctuations in the surrounding space through the Mental Image Domain.
Jiang Si was able to clearly perceive the concept of "space".
Fortunately, his thoughts were correct; this was indeed the Dao Seed! The Dao Seed of the Great Dao of Space!
Fortunately, this Great Dao of Space is still very small, but given time it may sprout branches and leaves and transform into Space Spirit Root, thus mastering the Great Dao of Space!
If a Great Dao of Time is then added, reversing the flow of Yin and Yang, it's not certain that Ma Nengkong could Kongzheng the Dragon Chants the Moon Goddess Statue of the Breast Kun!
For Kao, the perception of space was like switching from an automatic to a manual transmission, with the addition of a control panel.
Even just by tearing a tiny crack in the surrounding fluctuating space through the Mental Image Domain—
He punched the crack!
Even with a large amount of magic protecting the back of his hand, it was instantly torn open by the crack, bleeding profusely, with the skin and flesh peeling up.
Fortunately, the spatial rift was only slightly enlarged by the impact, and it was impossible to discern any difference in its extent.
"Hey! Are you crazy!" Mujin finally snapped, looking at the injury on his hand with a hint of panic. "Spatial rifts aren't places for people to touch with their shoes! People will die!"
"It's just that my cultivation isn't high enough."
Jiang Si Sihun scoffed dismissively and took out the Miracle Seed.
A dazzling purple light instantly flooded the entire space!
"To overcome skill with force is the true path!"
The small fist slammed into the crack, smashing a large hole in it!
The ruptured space whipped up a fierce wind, and Shion grabbed the edge again, breaking the surrounding spatial cracks apart like breaking a cookie!
The raging fragments of space kept sparking brilliantly on Shion's magical armor, but they didn't harm her in the slightest!
"I've finally mastered the power of space, it's mine now!"
Mastering the power of space is exactly how it works!
That's rape! It's illegal!
Before Mujin could refute, Shion had already lifted her up and jumped into the huge spatial rift.
"Let's go, it's time to head back."
Watching Shion charge headlong through the turbulent space, carving a path through the chaos, Mujin finally felt relieved.
"Do you happen to remember the way back?"
"The beggar remembers."
"Where are you headed?"
Go straight.
"----Let's go back!"
"Don't worry, I can sense it! Heading south!"
The magic around Shion spread wildly, like a small meteor streaking across the universe, "It's right in front of me!"
"Where's Nan?! I'm asking you!! Break up!! An Shiyu, break up with him right now!"
