"Fortunately, I have been punished by Heaven, and my principles have been restored to Heaven."
Shion withdrew her hand, pondered, "Hmm, forget it, it's better to just die here."
She wasn't entirely satisfied with the final words.
Some are unsure whether it's better to be "luckily punished by Heaven" or "to die and disappear from the world."
The former seems to have a bit more pretentiousness.
Most importantly, the message has already been announced server-wide; we can't just add a new, modified line.
Then the prestige of my Heavenly Dao broadcasting will be greatly diminished.
It can only be said that this incident was sudden, and I was not adequately prepared.
He then took off the ring, glanced down at South China, and at the fading Changgeng, and was filled with emotion.
"The one who pioneered this path has met such an end; it's both tragic and lamentable. This is also one aspect of the cultivation world."
"Didn't you kill her?" The Little Bear ornament next to him was also puzzled.
"It wasn't me, it was fate," Shion said without changing her expression. "The corruption of fate is a great calamity on the path of cultivation. Such an unprecedented genius, even a Dao Lord opened up a path, how could he have fallen to this state if he hadn't been corrupted by fate?"
For Shion, being able to establish a lineage of Daoists makes it no exaggeration to say that she is a Dao Lord on par with herself.
"If there is an afterlife, I may enter Azure Cloud and wield the Jade Dynasty Sword."
After thinking about it again, I felt it wasn't quite right.
In the novel " Zhu Xian ", even the sect leader of the Azure Cloud Sect, who wields the Jade Dynasty Sword, is corrupted by malevolent energy.
Even Daoxuan, who was as powerful as a god, was eventually driven mad by the torment, let alone Changgeng, who might not even Daoxuan's Dao heart.
If he were to take charge of the Zhu Xian, he might repeat the same mistakes.
Then he remembered that Bingtang had forcibly activated the Heavenly Secret Seal and unleashed the Zhu Xian.
I don't know if it will harm my health----
"Fortunately, I have been punished by Heaven, and now I have returned to the righteous path?"
Fengqin, who had been lost in thought, murmured and repeated Shion's words.
Looking at the Full Bloom magical girl, I felt a pang of sadness.
This is true.
Changgeng was reborn, but he was no longer the same person he once was.
The present self constantly negates the past self and wants to erase all the great achievements it once made.
If we do not return to the Way of Heaven, Changgeng will no longer be Changgeng, and South China will likely face a great calamity.
Fortunately, I was punished by Heaven. Fortunately, I was punished by Heaven.
Thinking this, Fengqin looked at Shion, who calmly made the judgment and killed Changgeng in one blow. Her eyes, which were originally somewhat fearful and dissatisfied, now held a bit more admiration.
She seems to genuinely care about magical girls.
"Next, we need to take care of all the magical girls."
Why?!
There are too many magical girls.
"What kind of reason is that?"
"A bunch of suicide bombers, opening fire Full Bloom, they'll destroy my Grotto-Heaven sooner or later."
Shion seemed to regard the world before her as her own possession, thinking, "It would be better to wipe it all out."
The Fengqin felt she was really overthinking things!
She's treating everyone like toys!
"Now, the problem now is the Land of Mirrors —if we don't deal with them, and South China separates, the entire New World will collapse prematurely."
The Fengqin grew increasingly weak.
Because the Land of Mirrors broke away from South China and fled to the outside world, it did cause enormous damage to the New World.
This would cause the lifespan of the New World, which originally had a much longer lifespan, to decrease and collapse prematurely.
But that's a long time from now.
Shion's arrival and subsequent destruction of the entire world is far more dangerous than the Land of Mirrors.
However, the main problem right now is the Land of Mirrors. Once the Land of Mirrors is dealt with, Shion will definitely work hard to repair the world!
Then she saw Shion forcibly pulling at the area in North China.
It also separated North China from the world and pulled it towards South China.
The world has begun to fall apart.
Fengqin's vision went black, and she fainted.
Only the Little Bear ornament, gazing at the shattered sky, the broken continent, and the chaotic world, sighed, "You are not a magical girl, the kind of existence that everyone expects, nor are you a symbol of greed like Calamity Beast. Everything about you is based on your pure Personal Reality, undisturbed by anyone."
" Shion, who exactly are you—"
Shion's expression turned slightly cold.
Bang!
The ornament kissed the earth.
Originally pretending to be dizzy in order to escape reality, Fengqin couldn't hold back her dizziness after hearing what the Little Bear ornament said. She immediately got up, grabbed her ornament, and slammed it to the ground.
Anger rises from her heart, and evil thoughts arise from her gall; even Fengqin is a girl with a temper.
The next collision is going to be crazy!
However, before her head could even bend down, Shion said, "If you kowtow again, I'll smash your head in."
The Fengqin froze on the spot.
Besides kowtowing, she didn't know any other ways to beg for mercy.
So all she could do was put on a mournful face and lower her voice, "I'm going to die! It's all your fault, always asking such dangerous questions—"
"--If even kowtowing doesn't work, then we're really doomed."
"Can you quit your job? I feel so ashamed of myself being above you. Every day is like an eternity. If you can't take it, just throw me in the latrine."
"So what if I'm embarrassed? As long as she's not angry, that's fine." Fengqin's tone was somewhat aggrieved. "You know my principles, don't you?"
"I just want to survive!"
The Little Bear keychain sighed helplessly, "Can I quit my job? ---"
You're not allowed to leave.
The Fengqin lowered its voice further. "I'm asking you, do you think she's a magical girl?"
"No."
"Is it Calamity Beast?"
"No."
Is it human?
"Uncertain."
"So what exactly is it—"
"Cultivator."
Shion's indifferent voice silenced the Fengqin and the Little Bear ornament.
Watching Shion manipulate the shattered sky, as North China moved towards South China, it was as if she had entered creative mode, piecing together the sky that had been broken in order to kill Changgeng.
However, the Fengqin and the Little Bear ornament knew that the ring's authority wasn't actually that high.
It was only under this person's control that this level of achievement was possible.
"Cultivator?"
They saw numerous magical girls taking flight over North China, which had been pulled there.
Those were all disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect.
These are all very traditional magical girls.
But in reality, they also share similar characteristics with Shion.
While it's not quite like Shion, who has none of the people's wishes.
But their own will is stronger; they are not swayed by numerous desires, but rather use their Personal Reality to control and manage the miracles that come from the masses.
"Seeking truth, cultivating truth."
Shion stretched out her small, fair hand and pressed it against the sky.
It was as if the great hand of Heaven had erased the barriers that isolated the magical girls around South China.
"See through illusion."
Within those golden, vertical pupils, it seemed as if nothing could be hidden from view. "This is a cultivator."
Therefore, it does not require the wishes of the masses.
Because he can see where the right path is, he doesn't need anyone else to point it out.
It doesn't need any miracles with crowds of people surrounding it.
Because his ego is the greatest miracle.
This is the Personal Reality that transcends the world and has access to all the privileges of the ring.
"Haha." Fengqin laughed awkwardly, "Then you really are the nemesis of us Dream Hatchers, because what we pursue is precisely a false dream that everyone can become addicted to."
"Then let's make it real."
Shion gazed at it calmly, "Seeking truth through falsehood is a common practice in cultivation."
Because there are just too many realities in this world that don't meet expectations.
"Seeking truth means finding what I desire to be true; cultivating truth means resolving when the world does not align with my desires; only by seeing through illusion can I know whether the world can be cultivated to be true to me."
"This is what a cultivator is."
The two men were speechless for a moment after hearing her words.
After a long pause, the Little Bear ornament finally muttered, "It's simply... a monster with its own consciousness."
Then she sighed, "A girl like you might be the one whose dreams come true."
Fengqin, unusually curious, asked, "Are all cultivators like this?"
Very good, it seems they understood.
Shion breathed a sigh of relief.
They were still fighting when they suddenly started discussing Daoism.
She, with her profound Daoist wisdom, is now fully preoccupied with feigning the Daoist way and pedantically arguing over words, unable to discern any further Daoist insights to use for high-level vocabulary.
I can't just say, "That's what I think."
Although the decision had already been made, if they were still questioned, they would be rebuked as false leaders, mere paramecia devoid of wisdom in human form.
But it is uncivilized and unbecoming of us cultivators.
"So why don't you plan to completely destroy the Land of Mirrors? You could easily do it, couldn't you?"
Shion lowered her head, looking at the densely packed Azure Cloud disciples, and after opening the gates of the Land of Mirrors, she surrounded them.
He simply said, "Since there are fellow cultivators on the same path, it's natural to lend her a hand."
After a passionate speech, the Shuangsheng actually wanted to shout "mega" on behalf of the Mirror King.
How magnificent, Land of Mirrors! How beautiful, Mirror King!
Let's look at the distant borderlands instead.
--
Oh dear, they're all disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect.
Especially the one leading the way, Lord Winter Lord- kun----
This is true beauty.
As they watched, the Shuangsheng forgot what they were going to say.
She simply showed an expression of infatuation and happiness.
"What are you doing?"
It wasn't until Sonora spoke that the Shuangsheng reacted, quickly wiping their drool and coughing. "It's nothing, I was just looking at the Azure Cloud Sect outside and feeling a bit melancholy. We might not be able to go back."
Although the journey was filled with bickering and Sonora had suffered quite a bit, hearing what the Shuangsheng said still comforted her, "Don't worry, we'll definitely make it back."
"But won't we be seen as traitors to the Land of Mirrors?"
"It's just a temporary collaboration; headquarters will understand. The biggest problem right now is..."
Sonora looked at the Azure Cloud Sect magical girls who were fighting their way into the Land of Mirrors, and wondered, "How long can the Land of Mirrors hold out?"
Not long after Mirror King finished his speech.
With the strategic weapon Changgeng defeated, the Azure Cloud Sect, located in North China, broke through the Land of Mirrors's regional blockade and, as if divinely aided, charged all the way into the Land of Mirrors!
The floating continent encroached upon the sky, swallowing the false dome in an instant.
The magical girls fell from above like shooting stars, trailing colorful tails of light, piercing the dim sky and crashing onto the land of the Land of Mirrors.
From heaven to hell in just a few minutes.
This is the first time the Land of Mirrors has fought against an entire Azure Cloud Sect.
The Mirror King turned back to the depths of the palace, only sending Alice to distribute some weapons and equipment to the members of the Old World.
Tell them to hold on.
The Shuangsheng and Sonora were also released because of this; they were supposed to be imprisoned after refusing the Mirror King's invitation.
However, the Mirror King probably thought that the Witch Association also be an enemy of the Azure Cloud Sect, so releasing her would mean she would join the Land of Mirrors in resisting Azure Cloud.
The crash happened too fast.
Since the arrival of the Azure Cloud Sect disciples, the Land of Mirrors has fallen much faster than expected!
Sonora, who had just retrieved the Miracle Seed, had originally intended to charge into battle alongside the members of the Old World.
She turned around and was swept away by the retreating torrent. She dared not fly; it would be too easy for her to become Azure Cloud's target.
"Kill them!"
On her way back, Sonora saw an exceptionally brave member of the Old World, covered in dirty bombs imbued with Filthy Magic Power, flying towards the Azure Cloud Sect!
Those dirty bombs were bought from the Holy Church at a high price, specifically for bombing magical girls!
I wonder if they were inspired by Mirror King's words, because they acted like a suicide squad!
However, when they reached the Azure Cloud Sect, all the dirty bombs became duds, frozen into ice blocks in an instant.
Instead, the Old World members who were prepared to perish together with their enemies simply stood frozen in place with fanatical smiles on their faces.
Immediately afterwards, he was pinned to the ground and brutally beaten by the Azure Cloud disciples, screaming and howling as if his previous bravery and fervor were all fake. Before long, he was beaten to his knees and begging for mercy.
Fighting the Azure Cloud Sect is not simply a matter of dying.
It would be better if I died from the first blow.
If he doesn't die, then he can expect to be tortured to the point of wishing he were dead.
Most importantly, he lost all face, lying on the ground being trampled on by magical girls, each kicking him until his own mother wouldn't recognize him.
They can't even preserve their human dignity.
Then they'd be killed and hung up.
Even the bravest and most fearless person would lose their enthusiasm upon seeing this.
The battle lines collapsed quickly. When Sonora and the Shuangsheng retreated together, they discovered that even Alice was running away with them!
"Holy crap, why are the robots running away? What's going on with the underlying code of your Land of Mirrors?"
"Robots have dreams too," Alice declared confidently. "We have hearts too, and we don't want to die. This is also to preserve the property of the Land of Mirrors— "
"No wonder the battle lines collapsed so quickly!"
The howling wind and flames behind us exploded right behind us!
Sonora, the Shuangsheng, and Alice was trying to escape, were all thrown into the air!
"Didn't they say that if the Azure Cloud Sect surrendered, they wouldn't be killed?"
Sonora was somewhat stunned. She glanced back and saw that the border of the Land of Mirrors had been razed to the ground, and people from the Old World were scattered everywhere. "How could we possibly surrender now!"
"Then you can't blame the Azure Cloud Sect for not having time to surrender—"
After giving an explanation, the Shuangsheng turned to look at Lord Winter Lord, Winter Lord seemed to have noticed their gaze.
He looked at her with concern.
Then, she was filled with boundless courage and strength, and she shouted, "Gentlemen, we must go to the Mirror King and demand an explanation for this situation!"
Her shout drew the attention of the fleeing members of the Old World.
"Why did she let us face the Azure Cloud Sect while she hid away!"
Although no one dared to say it, these words truly resonated with many people.
They had confidently promised to take everyone to experience the scenery at the top of the world, but then they ran off to a safe place, leaving these nobody people to fight the Azure Cloud Sect head-on.
Politicians are all the same, no matter how pretty they are!
Are you questioning our great Mirror King Yitaen?
Alice immediately and sternly condemned, "Are you going to make an enemy of the Land of Mirrors?!"
Upon hearing this, the remaining members of the Old World who were still fleeing fell silent.
No matter how much resentment they harbor, they're all in the same boat. If they turn against the Land of Mirrors, the Azure Cloud Sect won't tolerate them. They'll be caught in the middle, with no choice but to die.
That's not what we meant.
The Shuangsheng led the way, pushing the crowd toward the palace. "The great Yitaen is certainly not wrong. The ones who are wrong are the civil officials in the Land of Mirrors who interfered with His Majesty Yitaen's decisions!"
Sonora glanced at the senior, " The Land of Mirrors is full of combatants, where did this group of civilian officials come from?"
"Those who can speak are from the civilian government." The Shuangsheng said seriously, "Who says combat personnel can't be from the civilian government?"
"It's not that our great Yitaen has any problems; it's all the conspiracy of the civil service that led His Majesty to make the wrong judgment!"
Otherwise, with the technology of my Great Mirror Sect, how could we have been pushed here by the Azure Cloud Sect!
Sonora rubbed her forehead and glanced back.
I don't know if it's just my imagination, but the Azure Cloud Sect disciples' attack speed seems to have slowed down.
It's a good thing no matter what.
Just as the Shuangsheng' rhythm was about to take off, the members of the Old World were filled with righteous indignation and wanted to rush in to purge the emperor's inner circle.
Someone slowly said, "Anyone who dared to offer advice to Yitaen has been beheaded."
Everyone immediately fell silent.
Indeed, Yitaen was autocratic and dictatorial; he was more like a tyrant than a foolish ruler.
Anyone who dares to disagree with her will either be expelled from the Land of Mirrors or beheaded.
Who can influence her?
"His Majesty's indiscriminate killing of these civil officials is the best proof that he has been sidelined!" Shuangsheng said solemnly. "Killing people but accomplishing nothing, they can only rage in vain. These people are not afraid of death; they just want to cause trouble for the Land of Mirrors and disgust our Majesty! This shows that standing against His Majesty is not just a few individuals, but an indescribable force whose royal authority cannot be shaken!"
"Aren't you afraid of dying? Why did you come to the Land of Mirrors?" someone couldn't help but shout.
"In short, we must wake His Majesty!" The Shuangsheng looked at Alice. "Lead the way, take us to His Majesty Yitaen."
Alice pondered for a moment, then said, "I think I must be part of the civil service group you mentioned—"
The Shuangsheng slapped her aside.
In the vast Land of Mirrors, even if you put in artificial intelligence, you can turn it into artificial stupidity.
Their most pressing task now is to quickly find the truly remarkable scientific book known as the Yongle Encyclopedia.
Let's start learning from the basics again.
Although neither of Shuangsheng knew what it was about, the Yongle Encyclopedia contained the characters for "music" and "encyclopedia," and it covered two of the Six Arts of a Gentleman, which sounded very impressive.
It's far beyond the reach of the mediocre skills of this Land of Mirrors.
Just as she was about to lead her massive, defeated army to storm the palace.
Strange numbers began to emerge from the depths of the palace.
These numbers quickly covered the entire architecture of the Land of Mirrors; not only the walls and floors, but the mirrors themselves were covered in numbers.
Even this group of people has numbers circulating around them!
Then everyone saw the shattered sky above the Land of Mirrors flickering, from which a huge progress bar projection fell.
The sky and the earth seemed to have been turned upside down, and the progress bar fell in all directions like a beam of light.
Most people stared blankly at the sky.
Only a very few people quickly realized what these four progress bars represented.
It includes four regions: East China, South China, North China, West China!
In an instant, the numbers on everyone's bodies began to light up.
The back of the hand, forehead, chest, and countless points of light connect to form lines, and the lines connect to form a network.
It was as if something was intertwining, as if something was being constructed.
The next second.
All four progress bars were filled simultaneously!
As a result, the entire Land of Mirrors began to change amidst these spreading numbers, and even the numbers on each person's body constantly altered the way and probability of the flow of magic within them.
The Azure Cloud Sect only received one sword strike.
The overwhelming magical power and terrifying magic destroyed and melted all the buildings in its path. After dodging to the right of the Shuangsheng, it charged straight towards the palace with that sword!
Hundreds of Alice took flight, unfurled their barriers, and stood in front of the palace!
However, it didn't even last a second; Alice's fleet of machines was quickly scattered by the magic of the Azure Cloud Sect disciples!
The sword energy cleaved the palace in two, revealing the countless human pillars of Alice inside!
Then, supported by Alice and Alice and Alice, the enormous royal court rose into the air.
[Parsing and construction complete.]
The system pronounced its verdict, sounding somewhat like the sect leader's voice before his transformation.
Then, the numbers covering everyone and the entire Land of Mirrors cheered.
Bingtang sensed the magic and even started to go berserk along with the leaping numbers!
Then, all the numbers turned gold, and the Land of Mirrors, which was originally made of glass, instantly became magnificent and resplendent!
These numbers, in turn, begin to weave and construct based on architecture, becoming wondrous boundaries.
Then, Bingtang finally realized what was going on.
This is, in my Personal Reality?
To expand by using pure technology to simulate the miracles of magical girls----
No wonder the sect leader called him a fellow Daoist. For someone from the Ghost Valley School of Mechanics and other unorthodox paths to reach this level is truly astonishing!
Just as she was marveling at the sight, the progress bar projections in the sky above the Land of Mirrors suddenly exploded!
The members of the Old World from the Shuangsheng exclaimed in surprise, and then everyone fell silent.
As soon as the progress bar exploded, an astonishing magical power began to rapidly develop!
Bai Mei, standing behind Bingtang, tilted her head slightly and drew her sword again!
A chilling sword light flashed by, but when it struck the magic, the sword energy dissipated, and the magic quickly reformed after the initial chaos.
Bai Mei took a step forward, intending to pull out all the swords.
But Winter Lord, standing in front of her, grabbed her wrist and gently pressed the hilt of her sword back down. "Wait a moment."
The terrifying magic gradually gathered, and then Alice ascended, merging into the magic and gradually taking shape.
When the magic dissipated, Alice was nowhere to be seen; only a pale, empty magical girl in a grass-green magical outfit Full Bloom there.
White Fox stands facing east, overlooking the royal court.
Then he bowed slightly.
" The Black Mountain Realm White Fox, proof that the [ Blue Silver Emperor ] fruit is located in East China."
Everyone stared in astonishment at the White Fox, except for Bingtang, who pursed her lips and glanced again at the cleaved palace.
It must have been the sect leader's suggestion.
"China Securities Finance Corporation? It's actually China Securities Finance Corporation? Why does the Azure Cloud Sect have a lineage in the Land of Mirrors?"
"Don't tell me they're from the Purple Mansion Immortal Clan—"
"What are you talking about? I haven't even learned the second compulsory course for inner disciples yet—"
"I suspect that the reason you're not studying properly is because the Sect Master's old flame has defected to the Land of Mirrors."
"Wait a minute, wasn't that Full Bloom demon beaten to his knees by the True Disciples?----"
Hearing the disciples behind her starting to whisper among themselves, Blue Flower asked somewhat uncertainly, "What is this? A puppet?"
Meanwhile, Yarrow scoffed, "Ignorant fool! This is a case of substitution! Using Alice, they've transferred the White Fox's destiny, energy, cultivation, and status here, and combined with the White Fox's magic, perfectly replaced White Fox!"
The disciples behind him were all horrified. "A replica of Full Bloom?"
"No, they probably don't actually possess the full power of Full Bloom," Yarrow pondered. "They just want to borrow the status of Full Bloom expert—"
The Full Bloom magic power in another location is also gradually gathering.
Shui Shengquan appeared, standing on the west side, with his hands clasped in a fist salute.
" The Great Ring Realm Shui Shengquan proves that [ the Water in the Spring ] is located in West China!"
Then, girls who shouldn't have been there appeared one after another on the east and south sides.
There was even Changgeng, who had already died.
" Shallow Shadow of the Great Forest Realm Boundary----"
" Land of Mirrors, Changgeng ----"
The four Full Bloom magical powers recreated the figures of the four Full Bloom magical girls.
That terrifying aura was no different from if the real person were present!
Not only were the people of the Old World trembling with fear, but some even knelt on the ground, begging for mercy.
Even the disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect are under immense pressure.
If Bingtang hadn't been holding Bai Mei's sword hilt so firmly, this chief disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect would have already been unable to restrain herself from unleashing her full power and fighting four Full Bloom by herself!
All the True Lord of the Four Full Bloom bowed and paid homage to the royal court!
All the members of the Old World knelt down towards the royal palace.
"All sides submit, the world is united, the imagery is complete, and the position is revered!"
Yarrow Grass gasped, "She's proving [ Heavenly Fire ]!"
How do you know all this so clearly?
"Never mind that, she's about to get the certificate! Stop her!"
Bingtang simply shook her head. "It's alright, let's wait a bit."
All the Azure Cloud disciples stopped.
The four Full Bloom True Lord dispersed, and four kinds of dazzling Full Bloom magic power surged like a great river, pouring into the royal court!
"Wrong!"
Bai Mei frowned. "Having Full Bloom magic power is useless."
"According to my copy of the third required inner sect manual, 'Mysterious Profound Mirror Demon Gate,' even if the four Full Bloom magical powers were incorporated into her royal court in an extremely gentle manner, without Mental Image, she would never be able to take that perfect step."
Without this crucial step, one will never gain the favor of the fully opened Dao Fruit [Heavenly Fire]!
However, the scattered numbers of the Land of Mirrors leaped and solidified.
Space is gradually becoming alienated.
Suddenly, without a sound, a young girl appeared in the royal court.
Right in the very center where the Four True Lord were bowing in worship!
With white hair and red eyes, she slowly sat down, and a huge throne materialized out of thin air to support her body.
With one hand supporting his cheek, his jewel-like red eyes overflowed with languid arrogance!
Then, the girl, high above like a celestial Heavenly Emperor, pressed her hand to her chest, and uttered terrifying words. " Mental Image."
Bai Mei suddenly opened her right eye and slashed with her sword!
Winter Lord's pupils contracted, and all the jumping numbers around him instantly fell silent.
The expanded Personal Reality began to solidify, transforming into an independent space woven from the vast amounts of data and materials of the Land of Mirrors!
"Expand."
The sword energy melted in his Mental Image, and countless cold numbers leaped about—it was a virtual space containing only numbers and programming.
It is a miracle of magical girls built with technology!
The girl on the throne tilted her head slightly, looking down at Winter Lord and the Azure Cloud Sect below.
He simply extended one finger and twitched it.
The sword strike Bai Mei had just unleashed appeared densely behind her, aimed at all the disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect!
Welcome!
With power identical to Bai Mei's sword energy, a terrifying rain of swords engulfed all the Azure Cloud Sect disciples!
"My Omniscience Domain."
