Ling Yunpo soared up with his sword control.
When he arrived atop the Cloud Summit Divine Palace, he discovered the surroundings were peculiar.
Squares, corridors, pavilions…
Everywhere were surging water streams, with hardly a spot for one to stand.
“Be careful,” the Kunlun Mirror suddenly spoke, “Those water streams contain the power of the Time Dao.”
Without changing his expression, Ling Yunpo plucked a strand of hair from his head and cast it into the rapidly flowing water.
The hair quickly turned white, withered, and then disappeared.
“Time acceleration?” Ling Yunpo asked, furrowing his brows.
“Caught in the rapid current, an object’s time would be quickly compressed,” the Kunlun Mirror answered.
“To us on the outside, it looks as if the object submerged has traversed tens of thousands of years in a few breaths.”
“So be very careful.
Once you fall into it, you’ll find everything around you speeding up tremendously.”
“By the time you manage to escape from it, the compressed time will bounce back, and you’ll immediately die of old age.”

“Ah Jing, why do the fragments of your true body possess so many strange abilities, yet you, as the artifact spirit, are the most useless one?” Ling Yunpo asked, puzzled.The Kunlun Mirror sneered inwardly but said aloud:
“The stronger the divine skill, the greater the cost of using it.”
“Why do the cultivation talents I give you require you to play the corresponding roles in order to work?
Because in that case, they’re borrowed by you, without the need to pay an ‘extra price’.”
“It’s alright if you don’t understand.
The Dao of Time and Space is in itself the most obscure.
It’s unclear when I explain it to you.
Just do as I tell you, and I naturally won’t harm you.”
“Tch, playing god and fooling around,” Ling Yunpo thought to himself.
But given that the Kunlun Mirror was unwilling to speak, forcing her would only yield lies, so Ling Yunpo could only secretly note this grudge and once again used sword control to survey his surroundings.
Through patient maneuvering and detailed observation, Ling Yunpo discovered four types of water streams here:
Water that flows rapidly on flat ground.
Water that falls vertically yet very slowly.
Water that is completely frozen and does not flow.
And a peculiar kind of water that flows backward up a slope.
???G0.??
“Rapids signify time acceleration,” the Kunlun Mirror patiently explained.
“A slow flow means a deceleration of time.”
“Frozen implies time has halted; reverse flow indicates time reversal.”
“Whichever the case, it will bring you serious harm, so try to avoid contact with these water streams…”
“Ah Jing, I have a question,” Ling Yunpo asked curiously, “If I were to immerse myself in the reverse-flowing water, does that mean my lifespan would actually increase?”
“Yes and no,” the Kunlun Mirror replied upon hearing his idea, then immediately said, “Don’t forget, the total amount of your memories also increases with the passage of time.”
“Once you step into the water stream, your memories, your personality, even your cultivation realm, will all disappear as time reverses…”
“I see,” Ling Yunpo nodded and said.
“So, if I were to capture my enemies and immerse them in this kind of water, I could quickly erase their memories, right?”
“Yes…” the Kunlun Mirror replied with difficulty, thinking why do you always come up with so many bizarre and strange ideas that normal people can’t think of?
“Is there a way to collect these water streams?” Ling Yunpo became interested.
“No,” the Kunlun Mirror patiently explained, “Strictly speaking, these water streams are not caused by my fragments, but are manifestations of an uncontrolled Time Dao.”
“Once I gather the fragments, the Time Dao here will return to normal, and the water streams will lose their corresponding strange effects.”
“`
“Then, could you possibly refrain from collecting your fragments for now?”
“Impossible!
Scram!” the Kunlun Mirror finally lost its patience, “Annoy me one more time, and I’ll turn against you on the spot!”
Ling Yunpo sighed and abandoned the idea of using these temporal streams.
After all, Ah Jing was the most important at the moment, and he couldn’t bear the cost of losing her.
Guessing what Ling Yunpo was thinking, the Kunlun Mirror sneered a few times, further solidifying some unspeakable thoughts.
Ling Yunpo circled around the Cloud Summit Divine Palace to scout and finally found an attic that wasn’t covered by the streams.
He carefully pushed the door open and saw what could only be described as utter chaos…
Numerous streams, like tentacles, occupied the walls, floor, and ceiling without any order, gurgling as they flowed.
Desks, chairs, stands, and flower pots, as if weightlessness had taken hold, floated in the cramped room.
As a Sword Immortal, Ling Yunpo had exceptionally good eyesight and noticed that these floating objects were also covered with frozen water traces.
“Be careful,” warned the Kunlun Mirror, “If you touch the water traces on these objects, you will also fall into a state of temporal stasis.”
“You need to carefully dodge these objects and agilely pass through this room.
It looks difficult, but with your Cloud-Parting Eight Trigrams Step, you should be able to do it…”
“Got it,” Ling Yunpo said and then flew back outside to form a Daoist formula.
Five Thunder True Law, Tai Yi Thunder, explode!
Thunder Light quickly surged into the attic and then burst out from the open door and windows.
Under the stunned gaze of the Kunlun Mirror, Ling Yunpo carefully peeked in to see that the objects originally floating in the air had been reduced to dust by the Tai Yi Thunder.
The resulting dust was pushed by the shockwave against the wall, mingling with the dense streams.
Among them, faint traces of thunder light could still be seen-remnants of Tai Yi Thunder’s energy, which, upon contact with the water traces on the surface of objects, had transformed into “temporal stasis” thunder light.
“This building is quite sturdy,” remarked Ling Yunpo, “If it were an ordinary structure, it would have been turned to dust by my Tai Yi Thunder.”
“Mhm,” the Kunlun Mirror responded absently.
Why hadn’t it thought to destroy these objects with an attack?
After all, not all the objects were entirely wrapped by the streams.
Using a powerful force like the Tai Yi Thunder, it was entirely possible to infiltrate from an uncovered position and internally destroy the object, thereby rendering these dangerous streams devoid of a floating host!
Alas, it seemed its own thinking wasn’t flexible enough, not compared to this fellow…
As the Kunlun Mirror wallowed in self-deprecation, Ling Yunpo had already passed through the attic and continued deeper, blasting any objects in his way, until he finally arrived at the highest room of the Divine Palace.
There, he saw the mirror fragment placed on a high pedestal in the center of the room, next to which lay a toppled white Purifying Bottle.
Endless water flowed continuously from the Purifying Bottle, trickling across the floor as if it were inexhaustible.
“Hey, isn’t that Da Yu’s Purifying Bottle?” exclaimed the Green Duckweed Sword in surprise.
“Da Yu’s Purifying Bottle?” Ling Yunpo had never heard of it before.
“You’ve never heard of it?
Then you must have heard of Da Yu’s control over the floods,” said the Green Duckweed Sword with a chuckle, “According to legend, after Nüwa mended the sky in ancient times, the floods gradually receded from the Divine Land Continent, but twelve great rivers remained, often overflowing and threatening the populace.”
“Later, Da Yu followed the practices of his ancestors, sealed their sources, and refined the headwaters of ten of the rivers, leaving only the Great Southern River and the Great Northern River to nourish the people of the south and north.”
“As for the headwaters of the ten rivers, they were transformed by Da Yu into various Magical Treasures, the whereabouts of which became unknown over time.
Da Yu’s Purifying Bottle is one of them, said to spout endless water when overturned, overwhelming all enemies…
It’s unexpected that it was kept here in the Demon Locking Tower.”
“So it is such a Magical Treasure!” Ling Yunpo, realizing its strength, was secretly thrilled, This treasure must be fated for me; it will become my trump card!
He was about to go and take it when suddenly the Kunlun Mirror interjected:
“Wait a minute!”
