Even though she said that, Li was still very worried.
Just entering the Secret Realm, before seeing the situation clearly, a large circular mirror appeared above the two people and the dragon.
Li instinctively used Divine Techniques, her body sank into the ground.
While Zhang Ze and Chen Qin were directly absorbed into the mirror when it shined on them, and Zhang Ze’s steel rod fell to the ground.
If not for Li’s cleverness, burying herself in the dirt, extending only a finger to push the ring above the ground, temporarily proving her identity, this misunderstanding might have lasted much longer.
The large mirror, taller than a person, still floated above Li’s head.
Li looked up at it, sniffed, and after carefully discerning, confirmed her suspicion.
As a top-notch foodie, she could determine by smell alone that this mirror was an extraordinarily rare treasure.
The materials used, even in the Primordial era, would have been extremely rare.
Far superior to the Magic Mirror of Dragon Tiger Mountain, which cost fifty thousand Spirit Stones.
"So what is this mirror used for?" Li scratched her head and asked.
"I don’t know!" answered the Stone Pill named Ling Qisi confidently.
"Mother said that if you see someone forcibly breaking the array, use the mirror to shine on them." Ling Qisan patiently explained, while circling around Li.
"Those with malicious intent, if absorbed into the mirror, ten deaths and no life." Ling Qiyi, the eldest sister, answered steadily but didn’t reveal too much information.
"Although you are wearing father’s ring, don’t act recklessly! I am watching you!" Ling Qi’Er was truly rather vigilant.
"I think they’re not bad people... that little monk isn’t either." Ling Qiwu said weakly.
"Fifth sister, you are too easily trusting of others... now..." Ling Qi’Er wanted to say more but was interrupted by a nudge from Ling Qiyi and closed her mouth promptly.
Li wanted to ask more questions but saw several Stone Pills roll together, conspiring at a distance away from her.
Ling Qiwu seemed to want to say something to Li but was pushed back by Ling Qi’Er.
Finally, Ling Qi’Er rolled over quickly.
"I’m telling you, I still don’t trust you, so don’t move around!"
"Moreover, we won’t tell you anything else!"
"No escaping either!" After saying this, she rolled back to among her sisters.
And the sisters who had turned into Stone Pills stopped communicating with Li.
Li counted and realized there were only five Stone Pills, Ling Qiliu and Ling Qiqi were missing.
Nor did she see any sign of Lady Ling Liu within the Secret Realm.
She didn’t know where they were now.
As for how these sisters turned back into Stone Pills, Li couldn’t understand.
But honestly, Li really wanted to know the answer to this question.
Though she accepted the reality, she felt it was due to her improper birth method, resulting in her current form.
With another chance, she guaranteed she’d transform back into her True Dragon form from years past.
Soaring across miles, devouring gods who dared block her way.
Thinking of these incomprehensible matters, Li felt a headache.
And whenever she had a headache, she wanted to eat.
She just brought the steel rod close to her mouth.
Then she remembered she had promised Zhang Ze not to eat everything she saw.
Helplessly, she just held the steel rod in her mouth, savoring the taste.
After satisfying her craving, Li continued to think.
"It seems these little ones still don’t trust me, crunch..."
"Can’t get anything out of them."
"If only I had Zhang Ze’s eloquence, crunch..."
"He would definitely outwit these little girls."
"My essence is unharmed, so Zhang Ze shouldn’t be in danger yet."
"There’s also Chen Qin, that little girl... crunch... huh?"
When Li came to her senses, half of the steel rod was already chewed.
Looking at the steel rod full of teeth marks in her hand, Li paused for a moment and finally decided to destroy the evidence.
"Wiping the saliva clean should make it unnoticeable."
"Yes, he surely won’t find out... crunch, crunch..."
Inside the Treasure Mirror.
Surrounded by darkness, borders unknown, Zhang Ze stood on a circle of ripples, wielding his sword.
His green robe fluttered without wind, appearing as a distinguished Sword Sect master.
"I am Zhang Ze of Sword Sect, dare you scoundrels face me in battle!"
"Humph, want to escape?"
"Take my Shattering Void attack!"
"Hehe, don’t hide, I see you!"
"If no one responds, I’m leaving!"
In the dark space, Zhang Ze bluffed for a long time, but no one paid attention to him.
After waiting a while, seeing no one appeared, he took out a Copper Gong from the Hundred Treasures Bag and activated the Sound Amplification Array on it, plugging his ears.
Banging eagerly, until he felt annoyed himself, yet still, no one appeared.
It seemed as if he were the only one in this world.
Zhang Ze opened the system, contemplating the newly refreshed task with silence.
"I’ve come in, where’s my monster?"
The system gave no response.
[Special Task: Profound Identification Ask Heart]
The task was classic.
This mirror, named Profound Identification Treasure Mirror, could absorb those who were shone upon into it.
Once absorbed, the mirror reflects the heart, transforming greed, anger, and delusion into their substitution.
Only by removing it can one leave the mirror’s space.
The more evil one’s mind, the stronger the substitutive entity they face, with those from the Demon Path facing certain death upon entry.
Simply put, this mirror is like a final enhanced version of Sword Spirit Senior.
For Righteous Path cultivators, this Profound Identification Ask Heart is both a danger and an opportunity.
If Lin Feng entered, it would surely be an epic battle.
Utilizing various tactical maneuvers, facing one’s own greed, anger, and delusion, the journey would surely be full of twists and turns.
And Lin Feng would certainly, at the crucial moment, slay his own greed, anger, and delusion with one sword.
Following this, Lin Feng would experience enlightenment, leap two or three small realms, mastering two or three cultivation techniques, and refining his Heart Method even further.
Finally, there would be a process where the Treasure Mirror would acknowledge its master.
Once out of the Secret Realm, there would still be minor villains to confront and, after defeating the minor, the major ones would appear...
Zhang Ze found this not unusual, as ancient cultivation methods were .
Thus he didn’t understand why, whenever it was his turn, things always had some differences.
Was it because he really had no malicious intent, or was this broken mirror faulty.
"Where are the people?"
"Not playing, then I’m leaving!"
Perhaps this is karma.
Zhang Ze experienced the feeling Sword Spirit Senior had when sparring with him.
Frustrating, and very annoying.
He waited a bit longer, but still, nothing leaped from the darkness to engage in battle until the world’s end.
Muttering, Zhang Ze decided to no longer wait foolishly and planned to leave directly.
He randomly chose a direction, walked for a while, and arrived at the boundary of this space.
Casually kicked it, initially just testing, but his whole lower leg unexpectedly went through.
The boundary seemed meaningless to him.
Zhang Ze pulled back his leg, stretched his hand through, and even grabbed around but caught nothing.
Then he bravely stuck his head through as well.
Like passing through a layer of mist, not only without hindrance but even somewhat pleasantly.
Just as he poked his head out, a Sword Qi came slicing toward him.
