The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 355 - 211: The Mysterious Realm
She initially had a bellyful of grievances that she wanted to voice, but his playful antics somehow slowly melted away the resentment in her heart.
Actually, just seeing the real him again made her feel greatly relieved.
"Changtian... where are you during my Reincarnation?" She had long wanted to ask this question.
His smile faded, and he said earnestly, "As soon as you entered Spring City, the Reincarnation Formation isolated the God Demon Prison. Although I could see everything you did, the words I spoke could not reach your ears. The Reincarnation Array chooses the weakest place in your heart to set the scene, otherwise, if it let you spend a whole day without worries or joy, how could it be satisfied?"
Hehe, the Fake Changtian said he was the "love of her heart," a statement that had pleased him for a long time.
Does this mean, all her actions, the crying and wailing through dozens of Reincarnations, the dozens of futile attempts, he saw every single one without missing anything?
She suddenly felt like she was struck by lightning. It’s over, it’s all over; in his eyes, her image was gone. The image of youthful and cute Xiao Bai that she had painstakingly maintained was destroyed just like that.
After a long time, she dejectedly remembered that Tu Jin was gone. And apart from Tu Jin, when she had just exited the game, she did not see anyone from the Infinite Sword Sect either.
"They are probably still trapped in the Array," Changtian reminded her, "You have to break the Reincarnation to let them out."
She walked along the fissure in the Ruined City for a while until Changtian said, "Here it is," and then she stopped, leaping into the deep trench of the fissure.
Not knowing how many years had passed, the trench was overgrown with weeds, and she saw at first glance a skeleton partially hidden among them. The skeleton sat in a poised manner, with wide bones, likely belonging to an adult male; it didn’t look as horrible as an ordinary skull because each bone was as shiny and smooth as white jade, even sparkling faintly under the moonlight.
"This Cultivator, before death, had at least reached the Mahayana Realm; otherwise, the bones would not have this color," Changtian commented, with a somewhat heavy tone in his voice.
This person had actually reached the Great Success Realm! She was suddenly shocked. Just one level higher and he would have faced the Heavenly Tribulation; this person must have been highly capable in life.
But why would a Mahayana Realm Cultivator die here silently and without any notice?
Next to the palm of the white bones, something was lying around, glittering in the moonlight. Looking closely, she found it to be a small round mirror, seemingly an accessory for women, but the frame had faint traces of verdigris. The mirror itself was clear as water, reflecting her face clearly, but unfortunately, there was a fine crack on its surface.
Three ancient seal characters were engraved on the bronze back of the mirror: "Reincarnation Platform."
It was just a small mirror, yet it was named "Platform"; the thoughts of this Mahayana Cultivator were indeed strange.
Was this the very source of the trouble that trapped her within Reincarnation?
But what she didn’t understand was, "How could such an unclaimed Magic Artifact suddenly become active on its own?"
He pondered and then said, "High-level Magical Artifacts all have Artifact Spirits. The original owner probably sealed it away casually before dying, and over time, the Sealing slowly came loose, allowing the Artifact Spirit to break free and independently set up the Reincarnation Great Formation!"
"The one who forged this Reincarnation Platform was truly talented. If this Magic Artifact were to be controlled by someone, it would be ten times, a hundred times more dangerous than the Reincarnation you entered! Perhaps the intruder’s Divine Soul would be slowly wiped clean."
So this mirror was self-activated, so those who fell into it were just trapped and not dead? Then, the one impersonating Changtian inside Reincarnation must be the Artifact Spirit of the mirror!
Thinking of how she was deceived round and round by an Artifact Spirit, she was infuriated.
As she was gnashing her teeth, Changtian suddenly said, "There are words on the stone wall."
It was pitch-black here, but when she lit up the flint, she indeed saw several lines of hastily scribbled handwriting, obviously written in haste.
"After forging the Reincarnation Platform, for three thousand years I was unbeaten. However, having trapped the Ancient Immortal Yin Jiu You for thirty days with it, he unexpectedly broke free and immediately sought revenge. I was not his match, and after fleeing for half a year, as my life neared its end and my Dao began to fade, not even soldier’s death would allow my escape. Yin Jiu You is unfathomable, and I admit I am inferior. I leave the Reincarnation Platform here for those who are destined to find it." The note was signed by Feng Wuchou.
She understood that this person named Feng Wuchou had claimed that since the creation of the "Reincarnation Platform" Magic Artifact, he had been invincible for three thousand years. But when he used it against the Ancient Immortal Yin Jiu You, he managed to only confine him for thirty days before the latter broke the Array and escaped. Naturally, Yin Jiu You sought revenge after escaping, resulting in Feng Wuchou, who was not his match, being forced to flee for his life.
