Why does everyone see it differently?

In Ren Yisheng's room, a jade mirror of normal size stands upright.

Zhang Xuezhou could still see the reflection of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon in the mirror, while Ren Yisheng saw a distorted version of himself.

When Zhang Xuezhou inquired about Jin Shixue's condition via communicator, Feng Ziqiang, who was in charge of communication, mentioned that Jin Shixue had suffered severe mental trauma. Only after the arrival of the Sequence Holder responsible for mental comfort did Jin Shixue escape the high-risk situation.

"Is this Emperor Luowu's Boundless Jade Disc?"

Without in-depth research, no one knows what emperors possessed hundreds of years ago.

Even with his Ren Yisheng knowledge, Ren Yisheng couldn't figure out the situation until Zhang Xuezhou explained it to him, at which point he gasped in shock.

"How can such a strange thing exist in the world?" Ren Yisheng said, "We all see things differently. What did Emperor Luo Wu see?"

"Emperor Luo Wu was obsessed with martial arts; perhaps what he saw was himself practicing martial arts," Zhang Xuezhou speculated.

"Should I call An Ran over to take a look?" Ren Yisheng asked.

"An Ran might not be able to handle it!"

Zhang Xuezhou felt somewhat uncertain.

He had some vague guesses in his mind, but Zhang Xuezhou wasn't sure at the moment.

Zhang Xuezhou was not affected by the shock. He chose to refer to the Boundless Jade Wall with Ren Yisheng, who was similar in strength and situation, but he could not choose Ren Anran, who was slightly inferior in strength.

Ultimately, he hadn't fully grasped the Wuliang Jade Disc yet, and it was difficult for him to determine whether this burial object was good or bad.

There's clearly no need to involve Ren Anran in something that offers no benefit and carries risks.

"Or..."

"Try finding Zuo Quan!"

When Ren Yisheng hesitated to speak, Zhang Xuezhou added that the test subject should be Zuo Quan, who was still hospitalized at Jishi Medical Center.

Regardless of whether Zuo Quan was good or bad, Zhang Xuezhou and the others had no qualms about using Zuo Quan for testing.

If Zuo Quan benefits from this, that's how they get close to him; if it brings him negative consequences, that's not necessarily a bad thing.

The two exchanged a glance, then silently got up.

"He's currently undergoing treatment, so we'll say it's for medical testing and repair," Ren Yisheng said.

"Great idea!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded.

He followed Ren Yisheng out the door.

Zuo Quan was recuperating on the sixth floor, and Ren Yisheng's place of isolation was not far away.

Just a few minutes later, Zhang Xuezhou and Ren Yisheng were already standing at the entrance of Zuoquan Sanatorium.

The patient's entire body was injured, and after treatment, he was soaked in a healing solution to quickly recover.

"Committee Member Zuo!"

Ren Yisheng used his access privileges to open the locked electronic door, while Zhang Xuezhou greeted Zuo Quan, who was boredly staring at the time with wide eyes.

"Committee Member Zhang, have you recovered so quickly?" Zuo Quan asked, snapping out of his daze.

"Professor Ren found me a treasure to aid in the treatment. I used a stronger dose of medicine, and the wounds have healed," Zhang Xuezhou nodded.

"What medical wonder? Has our Alliance States come up with a new medical method?" Zuo Quan asked curiously, "Could you give me some assistance?"

"No problem!"

Zhang Xuezhou and Ren Yisheng nodded in unison.

Zhang Xuezhou touched the cloth covering the Wuliang Jade Wall, then turned the mirror towards Zuo Quan.

"What do you mean...? You... are Mirror's remains!"

The boundless jade wall shone forth, and Zuo Quan's gaze swept across the mirror.

In just a short time, Zuo Quan's face turned deathly pale, and a faint purple light flickered in his eyes.

He exclaimed several times, his words constantly shifting as he spoke, his face turning deathly pale, clearly startled. But when Zuo Quan stared intently at the mirror, he finally regained his composure.

"Committee Member Zuo seems to recognize our kind of treasure?" Ren Yisheng asked.

"Where did you get these from?" Zuo Quan asked, frowning.

"What?" Zhang Xuezhou asked with interest, "Do you also want to get a treasure to check for physical ailments?"

The light from the Boundless Jade Wall shone differently on each person. Zhang Xuezhou didn't know what Zuo Quan saw, but Zuo Quan clearly knew where the Boundless Jade Wall came from.

Upon realizing Zuo Quan's true identity, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but feel a jolt in his heart.

Emperor Luo Wu from 500 years ago is most likely unrelated to Huang Daoxian, but it is possible that he was involved with some kind of fire meteor creature.

For over a hundred years, Huang Daoxian has kept everyone at a loss, and no one has been able to touch Huang Daoxian's true form yet. If another hidden fire meteor creature were to emerge, Zhang Xuezhou felt that everything would be over.

"Get one? Do you guys still have any of these?"

Zuo Quan looked at his reflection in the Boundless Jade Wall; it was a figure gritting his teeth.

The mirror clearly shows the true left side.

But that's all.

He could see Zuo Quan, and only he could see Zuo Quan.

Having clearly identified the treasure before him, Zuo Quan was well aware that he was safe and would not reveal any problems.

But the responses from Zhang Xuezhou and Ren Yisheng made Zuo Quan feel uneasy.

He asked tentatively, which made Zhang Xuezhou and Ren Yisheng smile awkwardly, but neither of them responded.

"This thing is very rare; only certain fireballs could bring it," Zuo Quan asked cautiously, then suddenly realized, "Could this be something hidden in our Alliance States's Sinkhole No. 2?"

The No. 1 Sinkhole in the British Alliance State made the Genas Lineage famous, but it also gave Grenas a sword that could explode if touched.

The situation of the North Rehe sinkhole in the Scarlet Alliance State has remained undetermined, and no one has benefited from it.

But Zuo Quan knew very well the area involved in the sinkhole, and also knew about the survivors living under it.

Zhang Xuezhou was one of them. The Zhang Household was even very successful in the Alliance States, but the Zhang Household did not obtain any valuable treasures as a result. Everything about the other Lineage was clearly traceable.

"Did your family find this?" Zuo Quan asked.

"It was recently unearthed, and we discovered that it can be used for medical purposes," Zhang Xuezhou replied, shaking his head.

He didn't specify whether he was excavating in North Rehe or at the Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum, and this vague answer clearly led Zuo Quan to make a certain misjudgment.

Zuo Quan's response was already quite clear.

This treasure from the past of Emperor Luo Wu is related to the creatures of the Fire Meteor.

There are more sinkholes in the world than No. 1 Sinkhole, Sinkhole No. 2, and those fire meteors in the Qinmeng region Thousand Islands Alliance has past sinkholes, and the Scarlet Alliance State also has the past Pan'an Sinkhole.

In the tomb of Emperor Luowu, this Wuliang Jade Disc likely dates back hundreds of years, or even longer.

"What are the mirror remains?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"I only heard about it," Zuo Quan said, frowning. "I've heard that some fire meteors, after successfully crashing, bring forth powerful beings. One such being can reflect one's inner needs, thus helping them fulfill their wishes!"

"Such a good thing?" Ren Yisheng exclaimed in surprise.

"Such a wish cannot be granted for nothing," Zuo Quan said. "These beings called 'Mirrors' operate on a transactional principle, obtaining something of equal value from the wisher, such as youth, lifespan, Essence Blood, soul, or treasures!"

"How could such a being exist?" Zhang Xuezhou exclaimed in surprise. "If it could grant people's wishes, wouldn't it be a god?"

"They are not gods, they are demons!"

Zuo Quan frowned slightly, feeling inexplicably nervous.

He felt he needed to contact Zuo Luo as soon as possible to discuss the matter.

An uninvited guest has arrived in the area they marked, who is highly likely to become a competitor, or even crush their slow-developing society, thus bringing them utter ruin.
