Chapter 487
Chapter 487: Chapter 13: Only One Fragment Left Chapter 487: Chapter 13: Only One Fragment Left Arriving at the depths of the underground palace, Long Long stepped into the main hall of the underground palace.
There, atop a high platform in the center of the hall, familiar pieces of the mirror were slowly rotating.
Long Long quickly averted his gaze and retreated to a corner before asking,
“What should we do?”
Kunlun Mirror responded with a faint smile,
“Leave it to me.”
In front of Long Long, the outline of Qiu Changtian quickly took shape.
But it wasn’t Qiu Changtian; it was the Invincible character template.
The figure that looked like Qiu Changtian, although similar in appearance, had dull, lifeless eyes and mindlessly charged towards the center of the hall.
Then, a twisted vortex appeared out of nowhere and swallowed up the figure of Qiu Changtian.
“Did you see that?” Kunlun Mirror said with a cold laugh, “A trap of time-space turbulence.
It banished that illusion to some future point in time.”
“You have that kind of ability?” asked Long Long in surprise.
“Otherwise, where do you think your ability to read from past time points came from?” retorted Kunlun Mirror.

“I thought you could only load from the past,” responded Long Long.
“Generally speaking, yes,” explained Kunlun Mirror casually.
“Because if you were to load to the future, it would cause a gap in your timeline, which might trigger some kind of extremely adverse chain reaction…
Of course, for me it doesn’t really matter.”
It quickly conjured another illusion, this time in the form of Ling Yunpo, who charged toward the pieces of the mirror on the platform.
And then he was swallowed up as well.
Long Long keenly noticed that this time the vortex of twisted light appeared slower than before.
“Are you trying to deplete its spiritual power?” he asked curiously.
“No,” replied Kunlun Mirror.
“To be precise, that was all my spiritual power.”
“Time-space turbulence is troublesome…
so I’d rather deplete all of its spiritual power.
However, it seems there wasn’t much spiritual power left anyway, which suggests that those Demon Race ancestors have already explored this underground palace many times.”
For the third time, it summoned Luo Yan and sent him charging forward.
This time, Luo Yan almost reached the platform before being sucked away by a subsequent vortex.
“That should about do it.” Seeing the pieces of the mirror suddenly grow dim, Long Long immediately deduced, “The mirror’s spiritual power is exhausted.”
Kunlun Mirror neither confirmed nor denied but simply summoned a fourth illusion.
Wei Dongliu strode forward, reached the edge of the platform, and picked up the pieces of the mirror.
Then, the illusion suddenly sank into the ground, as if swallowed by a vortex that appeared from below.
“Wow!” exclaimed Long Long, observing from behind, “Pretending to be out of spiritual power, huh?
That shard is quite crafty, just like you!”
Kunlun Mirror was secretly annoyed but responded with a smile,
“It thought it was cunning enough to be invincible, but it was all within my calculations.
Haha, just you wait and see!”
After speaking, Kunlun Mirror created another illusion and charged forward.
Then another, and another…
Until finally, the mirror shard completely drained of spiritual power was stiffly and mechanically brought back.
Watching the shard enter his Sea of Consciousness, Long Long curiously asked,
“With this, only the last piece remains…
But tell me, what does it feel like to recover your own shard?”
“Probably similar to how you feel when you bully Junior Sister Xu, deceive Senior Sister An, and successfully trick Miss Shi,” was the reply.
“What a strange comparison…
Hmm?” Long Long suddenly realized that there were no other exits in this main hall of the underground palace, just the entrance through which they had come.
“Is this the end of the underground palace?
Is there nothing but your mirror shard here?”
“Of course, what else do you think those ancestors were researching?” Kunlun Mirror answered, “All they were researching was the Dao of Time-Space emanating from my shards.”
“So you mean,” Long Long asked with a frown, “after we take the shard, there will be no more Great Dao in this relic?”
“Of course,” Kunlun Mirror said calmly.
“But, that’s none of our concern anymore.”
As Long Long thought about it, that indeed seemed to be the case, but Ah Jing…
this calm and composed demeanor, this sense of having everything under control, it’s becoming more and more like me.
Maybe it’s been influenced by my charismatic personality.
Having teleported back to the Jianmu tribe’s land, Long Long instructed,
“Load up to where Wei Dongliu is.”
Kunlun Mirror really wanted to say, “Why not load up to where Ling Yunpo is first,” but it quickly held its tongue and smiled,
“Alright.”

[Character Identity: Wei Dongliu.]

Wei Dongliu, with hands behind his back, left the stone hut, only to see by the poolside that Jiang Liyan was demonstrating the tricks of cultivators’ magical competition to her two disciples, Guo Jin and Wang Cong.
It struck him that ever since this witch and her master had a falling-out, she seemed to have straightforwardly and legitimately moved in with me?
“In a cultivator’s magical competition, what’s essential is the element of surprise,” said Jiang Liyan with a charming smile as she flicked a Demon Head from her sleeve, transforming it to look like her, “If your trump card is known by others, the opponent can counter your moves and your chances of winning are halved.”
“For instance, using this Demon Head as a decoy, the enemy is unaware.
When they slay the Demon Head, I’ll be able to launch a sneak attack from the side.”
Wei Dongliu inwardly nodded.
Not bad, this Jiang the Witch’s combat experience has reached a third of my level.
“Master,” Guo Jin noticed his master’s approach, quickly turned around, and respectfully paid his respects.
“Wei Daoist friend has arrived,” Jiang Liyan also stood up gracefully, smiling as she said, “I’ve brought you some news.”
“The Six Paths Conference is about to begin, where countless fellow cultivators will gather.
After the conference, there will be a trading session.
If Daoist friend desires something, you can seek it in the trade fair.”
Seeing Wei Dongliu’s expression unchanged, she dropped another bombshell:
“In past conferences, Golden Core cultivators have often managed to get their hands on Purple Mansion secret medicines, which are then sold at the trade fair.”
Wei Dongliu then showed a profound and unfathomable expression.
Purple Mansion secret medicines, are those of any use to me right now?
Feeling his gaze upon her, Jiang the Witch immediately became self-conscious and frankly said:
“Alright, the Purple Mansion secret medicines are basically on auction, and they tend to be snapped up the moment they become available.”
“However, there are still other rare secret medicines, like the one from the Mortal Life Path’s Lingxiu Mountain Sect, named Sweet Dew True Elixir.
It is said that a single drop can shorten the Qi Refinement Realm by ten years.”
Wei Dongliu nodded upon hearing this:
“In that case, it would indeed be worthwhile for Jiang Daoist friend to make this trip on behalf of my disciple.”
Jiang the Witch: ?
Hold on, wouldn’t the normal response of someone hearing about secret medicines suitable for their disciple at the marketplace be to go there themselves?
“If the master is worried, let me oversee her purchasing the medicine,” the Flying Asura curried favor from the side.
Seeing Wei Dongliu noncommittal, Jiang Liyan’s thoughts raced.
She obviously hoped Wei Dongliu would accompany her to that trade fair; otherwise, if she went alone, what if she encountered her master and got killed?
Without Wei Dongliu’s orders, the servile Asura would definitely stand by and watch!
It only needed to bring back the elixirs, after all.
???G?.??
No, she had to think of another method.
He wasn’t interested in Purple Mansion secret medicines because he clearly wasn’t a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.
So, what did old thief Wei care about?
Oh!
“In this conference, the Hell Path will surely send people to participate,” Jiang the Witch suddenly said.
Wei Dongliu perked up.
He had obtained a rib last time from the Demon Buddha, which was said to enable contact with the Hell Path-could an opportunity arise at that conference?
With this thought, he had to go no matter what!
Moreover, in the past, he preferred solitude because on one hand it was necessary to maintain a mysterious persona and on the other, his power was indeed lacking, exposing him to risks of being exposed by stronger opponents.
However, he had formed a First Grade Golden Core, and his cultivation realm was even stronger than many Golden Core cultivators.
Nascent Soul cultivators were after all rare in the Cultivation Realm, so how many people could pose a threat to him at that conference?
Besides, wasn’t he accompanied by the Flying Asura?
Good!
This time he would take the rib and see if he could catch any traces of the Hell Path!
With that in mind, Wei Dongliu finally nodded and agreed to go.
Jiang the Witch also breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
As long as old thief Wei was willing to take the Flying Asura and accompany her to show up at the gathering, word would surely reach her master’s ears.
This way, she should be able to negotiate for more time for herself.
Jiang the Witch had previously explored the Jianmu secret realm with other Demon Cult companions, obtaining nearly thirty years’ worth of Purple Mansion secret medicine.
Together with drinking Golden Nectar and Jade Liquid in the Mirror Lake Divine Palace worth seventy years with Wei Dongliu, and eating the flower petals from the Nine Serenities Underworld, her Refining Mansion cultivation had reached one hundred and fifty years.
With her daily cultivation of Qi Refinement, accumulating about thirty years of cultivation, she was only twenty years away from forming a High Grade Golden Core.
In order to quickly enhance her self-preservation ability, she had to secure more Purple Mansion secret medicines at the market this time!
