ng Qi frowned slightly. After a while, she forced her eyes shut, and when she opened them again, her gaze had beco firm. ng Qi looked at Yun Qingyan and said strongly, “Sovereign Qingyan, I will definitely co back alive!”
“ng Qi.” Yun Qingyan said, “You have to think carefully. They don’t need you now. Moreover, after failing to find you for a few days, they probably would just leave on their own.”
ng Qi was stunned, but she soon shook her head firmly: “No.”
Maybe that was the case if they never ca to Starfallen Sea. But since they were here, they would never leave unless they found her.
“Co.” Yun Qingyan gave her a deep glance, then stood up and walked towards the door. ng Qi quickly followed behind. The two went around the lotus pond, walked to the corridor on the other side, passed through the gate to the right, and entered another courtyard. There were no buildings in this courtyard, only a deep well.
ng Qi stood by the well and looked into the clear water, so abundant that it seed to almost overflow. The water surface was like a mirror, reflecting the stars in the sky, so bright as if they were twinkling inside the well. Yun Qingyan’s sleeve brushed over the well. A white light fell from his fingertips into the well. In an instant, the water surface lit up, the stars disappeared, and the reflection suddenly changed.
ng Qi took a closer look. Reflected on the water surface was a thick forest, as well as flying beasts that occasionally passed over the trees. The beasts appeared small in the water reflection, but their viciousness was still very apparent.
“This…” ng Qi actually already had so guess, but still turned to look at Yun Qingyan.
“This is a sky-viewing mirror.” The white-robed man said lightly, “Not only can it show the situation in the three realms and Starfallen Sea, but also…” He looked at ng Qi, “…transport you to the place it reflects.”
Yun Qingyan paused: “However, the passage is one-way, and once you leave, you cannot go back to Luoyun Manor through it.”
ng Qi was startled. She looked at the water reflection on the well, then turned to look at Yun Qingyan. The other party was also looking at her with his deep gaze, making her unable to see his thoughts.
ng Qi turned her head again and stared thoughtfully at the well for a mont. “Sovereign Qingyan.” She finally turned to Yun Qingyan again, “How to change the place reflected in this mirror?” The reflection in the water mirror was fixed in the sa place. ng Qi silently counted and found that three or four mutant beasts had flown past the forest in this short ti. The thick foliage prevented her from seeing the situation below the trees, but she could surmise that it was even more dangerous at the ground level, where the sunlight hardly reached.
ng Qi was dying to find out about her friends’ situation.
Yun Qingyan took ng Qi’s hand into his and lightly directed her fingers across the water surface, “Move your fingers like this, and you can adjust the reflection to four directions.”
“Thank you, Sovereign Qingyan.” ng Qi awkwardly retracted her hand, “I got it.”
Yun Qingyan stared at her silently: “Look slowly.”
The white-robed man then turned around and walked towards the direction where they originally ca. When he was about to leave the courtyard, his footsteps suddenly paused, and he said without turning back, “ng Qi, Yewu cos from the Devil Realm where the refinery arts are still flourishing, and she surely has her own secret thods of refining magic weapon. When you are done with the mirror, go to her and let her help you refine the nether iron.”
ng Qi was startled again, but did not imdiately respond. Yun Qingyan also didn’t seem to wait for her answer. He resud his footsteps and soon disappeared into the corridor.
ng Qi retracted her gaze and resud her focus on the reflection in the mirror. She imitated Yun Qingyan’s movent, gently stroking the water surface with her slender fingers. Sure enough, the reflection began to change. To the east of the thick forest was a huge poisonous swamp, far bigger than the famous poisonous swamp in the Southern Realm. Through the water mirror, ng Qi seed to be able to perceive the poisonous gas and miasma that pervaded the swamp, and even the remnants of the souls trapped there for thousands of years. The venomous insects and beasts there had to adapt to the environnt. To survive, they devoured each other and grew increasingly terrifying.
To the east of the poisonous swamp was a narrow mountain range. So mountains were bare, while others were lush. On the surface, these mountains looked much more peaceful and safer than the swamp, but every now and then, ng Qi could see mutant beasts soaring in the sky with frightening speed.
Little by little, she carefully scanned the Starfallen Sea through the water mirror. Sotis she saw several beasts fighting fiercely. The water had reduced the beasts’ reflection significantly and also isolated ng Qi from the earth-shattering blast caused by the fight, but rely looking at the terrifying scene and the utter destruction it caused to the surrounding was enough to inform ng Qi that those beasts were far stronger than her cultivation base.
How vast was the Starfallen Sea? No one in Three Thousand Worlds could answer this question. ng Qi spent all day looking at the water mirror, but even until the night turned late and the stars shone high in the sky, the end of her search was still nowhere in sight. In fact, besides Su Junmo’s group, there should be several cultivators who entered the Starfallen Sea at this mont, such as Pei Mufeng, whose goal was for training. ng Qi had been looking for so long, yet she didn’t even see a single cultivator.
ng Qi lightly stomped her feet and moved her body, continuing to paddle the water mirror. Another hour later, ng Qi suddenly widened her eyes. She hurriedly leaned closer to the well, almost sticking herself to the water surface, and squinted to look more carefully.
It was now night in the Starfallen Sea. Although the scenery in the water mirror was clear and visible, it was still darker than the day. Reflected in the mirror were several rolling hills. On the top of one of the hills, an array suddenly burst into the sky, cutting through the silence of the dark night.
In an instant, the whole hill was illuminated, revealing a tall figure of a black-robed man.
ng Qi almost scread out: “Ji Wujiong!”
