"What kind of magic is this?" Changyin circled Jiang Wen, curiously tugging at his sleeve. Just now, she had only seen the sleeve become huge, and with a whoosh, it had taken in the dozens of zhang tall Chi. Moreover, the Chi had no power to resist at all, and after being put inside, there was no more sound.
"Sleeve Universe." Jiang Wen said calmly. He checked the reduction of his merit points and found that after taking in this Chi, the daily merit points maintained also increased by one or two hundred points. This was not a trivial matter in the long run. After a few months, it would be tens of thousands of merit points. When he got out, he had to find a way to get rid of this Chi.
"Sleeve Universe? What a strange name."
Changyin was puzzled, and Jiang Wen didn't explain further. After all, he also used merit points to cast this magic, and he hadn't even learned it yet. Perhaps it was because his Dao cultivation realm was insufficient, and he couldn't cultivate this Tiangang magic for the time being.
After tidying up his sleeves, he and Changyin walked towards the Shenmu Palace. Now that the Chi had been taken in, it would be much easier to retrieve the Shenmu Heart.
Soon, they arrived at the Shenmu Palace. The originally dim glazed mirror was now shining brightly. Compared to its previous appearance, the Shenmu Palace now appeared even more sacred.
Jiang Wen looked at himself in the glazed mirror, and the other person greeted him with a smile. Then, he drilled into another glazed mirror.
"These are all mirror spirits, and they can charm people's hearts. Don't be fooled by their harmless appearance." Changyin stepped on the reflected image under her feet, scaring away the mirror spirits in the glazed mirror. The mirror spirits quickly ran to the tiger's feet and started playing with the tiger again.
Seeing this, Changyin was too lazy to pay attention to the tiger. She led Jiang Wen to the statue of Pure Yang Zhenren in the center and knelt on the futon to bow three times.
"Let's go, let's retrieve the Shenmu Heart." Changyin said, then walked towards the statue, and then the whole person disappeared into the statue.
Jiang Wen was curious about this strange sight and quickly followed and entered the statue.
The Ginseng Sprite was already asleep, lying motionless in Jiang Wen's arms. Obviously, after such a long experience, it was also tired. Gently patting the Ginseng Sprite, Jiang Wen looked at the inside of the statue again.
This was a colorful environment, and there seemed to be countless reflections in all directions, turning everyone's figures into countless copies. This appearance was like looking at a kaleidoscope, and the colorful light was exactly the appearance in front of him.
Stepping on this kaleidoscope mirror realm, every step brought a bit more change. The tiger curiously looked at itself, trying to touch the figure in the kaleidoscope, but when its paw touched the mirror surface, the next moment, the entire tiger body appeared on the mirror image at the top.
"Hey! Brother Jiang! Where is this grandpa at?!" The tiger stood upside down on top of Jiang Wen's head, shouting at Jiang Wen below.
Changyin glared at it unhappily and scolded: "I told you, you silly fool, not to touch things everywhere, but you just wouldn't listen to me. Now, find your own way out!"
"Ah! Then where should this grandpa go to get out!" The tiger looked sad, looking up at Jiang Wen and Changyin. It kicked its legs hard, trying to jump down from above, but no matter how hard it tried, it always found that the distance between itself and Jiang Wen remained the same.
"Don't bother, every mirror image in this kaleidoscope mirror realm is a parallel space. Although you can see us and hear us talking, it is impossible to touch us. We are not in the same space, and no matter how hard you try, it will be in vain. You can only find a way to get back to us." Changyin said, explaining the characteristics of this kaleidoscope mirror realm clearly.
Jiang Wen looked at this magical place with great interest. It was hard to imagine how Pure Yang Zhenren created this mirror realm in the first place.
"How did Pure Yang Zhenren manage to create this world?" Jiang Wen asked curiously.
"This place was created by Pure Yang Zhenren with the help of the ancient mirror, so I don't quite understand the methods involved." Changyin shook her head and said. "That ancient mirror was a treasure he found when he was looking for the Zhenzhen Water Droplet, and it is hidden in the center of this kaleidoscope mirror realm. It is a very magical mirror, although it is already broken, it can reflect endless mirror image spaces."
"Oh? That's really wonderful, I'm very curious about this ancient mirror." Jiang Wen became interested and wanted to see what the ancient mirror looked like. He glanced at the tiger scurrying around and didn't bother with it. After all, Changyin had also said that there was no danger in the kaleidoscope mirror realm, at most, one would just not be able to find a way out. Unless one had the realm of a sage, even breaking one or two spaces would be useless. Therefore, if one didn't have a familiar person to lead the way, one would be trapped in the endless folded spaces and eventually have one's lifespan exhausted and die.
In a sense, this kaleidoscope mirror realm is more dangerous than some dangerous secret realms.
"This is where Pure Yang Zhenren stored the Shenmu Heart." Changyin looked at the surrounding environment with nostalgia. She pushed open the door of the bamboo building's courtyard and walked in with small steps.
The furnishings in the courtyard were simple: a stone table and three stone chairs. Not far away was a clear pond, and the pond flowed along the stream to an unknown place. There was also an old tree by the pond. Although the tree was not big, it grew crystal clear. Even Jiang Wen took a few more glances at it.
"Go into the house and see if there are any treasures, I'll pick out the Shenmu Heart." Changyin said, then walked towards the old tree, and Jiang Wen also agreed to her words and walked into the bamboo building.
The inside of the bamboo building was also very simple: a bed and a bookshelf. There were only three books left on the bookshelf. Jiang Wen picked up one, which was written with 'Xumi Travels'. Opening it, he saw that it was a record of Pure Yang Zhenren's travels in the Xumi Realm. The other book was the basic mental cultivation method of the Pure Yang Palace, called 'Tai Xu True Scripture'.
"Tai Xu True Scripture? Is it such a coincidence?" Jiang Wen was a little puzzled, after all, he was too familiar with the name Tai Xu. The name of the righteous god on his stone tablet was Tai Xu Mysterious Tranquility Beginningless Heavenly Lord. So what is the relationship between this Tai Xu True Scripture and him?
Opening the Tai Xu True Scripture to check, he found that this was actually a method for foundation building and Qi refining. However, this mental method can only reach the realm of Refining Essence into Qi, and even many Qi refining details are ignored. It's a bit like the simplified version of the upper volume of the 'Outer Scenery Scripture' that Jiang Wen cultivated.
"Interesting, it's actually a Qi refining method." Jiang Wen smiled. He put away this 'Tai Xu True Scripture'. Then he looked at the last book. This book was quite thick, and it was written with 'Pure Yang Pill Formula'.
Opening it to take a look, Jiang Wen found that this book was the Pure Yang Palace's secret method of alchemy. It recorded many pill formulas that Jiang Wen had never heard of, from the basic Qi Gathering Pill to the advanced Sky Mending Pill.
Even later on, there were some mysterious ancient pill formulas, all of which were the hard work of Pure Yang Zhenren. Although their effects were not as heaven-defying as the three pill formulas Jiang Wen obtained in the Tianhuo Palace, they were still immortal pills that everyone in the cultivation world craved.
"Good stuff, good stuff!" Jiang Wen said happily. He was still worried about how to improve his pill Dao skills, after all, only basic alchemy secrets were circulating on the market. Unique immortal pill formulas like the 'Pure Yang Pill Formula' could not be accessed by anyone other than direct disciples.
Now that it was in Jiang Wen's hands, he could also supplement his alchemy skills.
