Chapter One: The Supreme Immortal

  Yu's gaze swept back and forth between the mirror-like surface and the sky, finally confirming without a doubt. He took a deep breath, no longer indulging in wild thoughts, and directly jumped up, using his hands and feet like a monkey, and in an instant he flipped over the cliff, standing at the highest point of the mountain peak.

  In this position, the field of vision is wider, and the dense forest stretches as far as the eye can see. Yu Jing's gaze extends to the extreme, but it's not towards the sky, rather following a premonition, separating the sea of trees, searching for targets among the tree clusters.

  It was still that intangible pointer, moving in response to his thoughts, pointing out a clear direction for him. This was the effect of the Five Elements Spirit Symbol, but its effective range was more than ten times that of normal circumstances.

  However, even with a clear direction, Yu Ci's eyesight was not enough to penetrate the obstruction of the branches and leaves. He didn't think about doing that either. After confirming the approximate location, he lowered his head, his gaze fixed on the copper mirror surface that still emitted a faint blue light. The image in the mirror was clear and distinguishable, with a soft whooshing sound like heavenly music. Yu Ci couldn't tell if this was him intentionally exaggerating his posture to express his excited emotions.

  In the mirror, a gray-haired wild rabbit emerged, accelerating to its limit, sprinting through the woods and grass, constantly changing direction to evade the deadly threat in the sky.

  This is the scene displayed by the divine bronze mirror, clearer than clear, more real than reality.

  As Yu Cixing's mind changed, the close-up of the wild rabbit in the mirror suddenly changed, as if the monster's eyes had left it, and the scope of the sky displayed in the mirror was rapidly expanding. In the end, the high-flying eagle, the wild rabbit in the forest, and even this mountain forest world that contained them were all included.

  The green light was shining brightly, and Yu Ci felt a clear sensation that there was a force stirring in the copper mirror. Immediately afterwards, he saw that all the scenes displayed in the mirror had come to life!

  That's right, it's standing up!

  If the original image in the mirror was a unfolded landscape painting, then now, this landscape painting shook slightly, and the mountain came alive, the water also came alive. The mountain is majestic, only one inch high, the flowing water is gurgling, but it's as thin as a hair, whether it's the eagle circling in the sky, ready to strike, or the wild rabbit fleeing frantically on the ground, they all turned into the size of lice, yet their movements are vivid and lifelike, no different from the original, and changing synchronously with the movements of living things outside, without any delay.

  At this moment, all the mountains and forests in front of me have shrunk thousands of times and are projected onto the mirror surface in a faint green glow.

  As he gazed at this vivid miniature world, Yu Jin's spirit couldn't help but immerse itself in it. And when he did so, a strange thing happened again - he seemed to merge with the invisible "demon eye" in the void, floating and wandering in this world, changing position and angle with his thoughts, not just the falcon and the hare, but also incorporating all living creatures' activities into his eyes.

  He can see the yellow sparrows jumping between the branches, he can see the venomous snakes hanging down from the tree trunks with their tongues almost dripping, and even see the ground beetles poking their heads out of the fallen leaves, as well as the ants burrowing in and out of the soil.

  He saw even more, he could see the cracked bark on the trunk of the ancient pine, the fine texture on the exposed rock, and even the floating clouds in the high sky, as well as the twisted root system of the giant tree beneath the ground.

  Yu Ci held the copper mirror like an idiot, with only one thought in her mind:

  Baby, real baby.

  He stood there for a long time, then suddenly went crazy and started running wildly in a random direction. He ran over mountains and across rivers, changing his route several times along the way. Eventually, he threw himself deep into the vast wilderness, surrounded by towering trees that seemed to touch the sky. The startled creatures of the forest chirped and chattered loudly, as if the woods themselves had come alive.

  A small world is also alive on the copper mirror.

  Mountains and streams, forests and grasslands, snakes and insects, eagles and wolves, everything is changing rapidly with his fierce advance, flowing like water in the green light.

  Suddenly, he stopped without warning, and the small world in the green light also came to a standstill. But this stillness was only relative, as the creatures inside continued to fly about and rush around, presenting a scene of vibrant forest life. And at the very center of this miniature world, his own figure appeared.

  He stared at this small world, completely absorbed in it.

  This is a vast area centered on him, with a radius of 50 miles, extending up to 10 miles and down to hundreds of feet. If the presented area is expanded to its limit and floats above the Shenguang Copper Mirror, that light shadow image is an inverted sea bowl, overall presenting a cyan green color, which is the vast forest, with countless fine patterns in the middle, showing the rich colors presented by countless species.

  A hundred feet thick layer of rock, only a thin circle at the bottom, dark in color, while the top is light blue to almost colorless, symbolizing the sky. The combination of these vastly different colors doesn't look good, but it presents a world that is incredibly detailed, yet can be held in one hand, perhaps not much more substantial than a soap bubble. This collision of reality and illusion makes Yu Cai almost go mad.

  "Calm down, calm down!"

  He really needs to calm down. With the mysterious function of the divine bronze mirror, it's as if something fell from the sky and hit him on the head, stunning him so much that he can't see what happened.

  Is the divine power that manifests the universe in a square inch, brought by itself or attached from the outside? If it is brought by itself, why didn't it exist before? If it originally existed but was unintentionally triggered by him, how was it triggered? After being triggered, does it have a time limit? Can it be repeated? Can it be cancelled?

  A barrage of questions came pouring in, making Yu Ji's already confused mind almost come to a standstill. He had no choice but to temporarily clear his mind, take a few deep breaths, close his eyes and calm down, letting his mood return to normal.

  As his breathing calmed down, he held the copper mirror in his hand, his fingers probing into the hazy blue light mist, his fingertips touching the surface of the mirror, moving slowly and carefully to find any unusual places.

  If there's one thing that stands out, it's probably the fact that the surface is so smooth it doesn't seem like it was machined. When sensitive fingertips brush against it, all they can feel is a cool metallic sensation that seems to penetrate deep into the bone, with no hint of burrs or texture. The more you look at it, the more changes on its surface seem to be picked up by Yu Ci's senses.

  A cool feeling is flowing!

  Perhaps it was just a subtle difference in temperature, but this temperature difference changed from time to time, and had nothing to do with Yu Ci's body temperature. Instead, it was the copper mirror itself that alternated between warmth and coolness, subtly evoking a sense of breathing in and out with the sun and moon. With inhalation and exhalation comes yin and yang, and with yin and yang comes change. Perhaps the causal relationship between these three is not so simple, but Yu Ci didn't need to worry about that much. By grasping the point of yin-yang change, she was equivalent to grasping the thread head of a complex ball of twine. All she needed afterwards was carefulness and patience.

  His fingers continued to rub against the mirror, and in an instant, his hand stopped. Yu Jin dared to confirm that he had grasped a familiar pattern fragment, which was also not beyond his expectation.

  It's indeed the Five-Element Spirit Seal!

  He touched the most typical texture combination inside the talisman, which was hidden in the hazy blue light scattered by the copper mirror, like a dragon hiding in the clouds. Yu Ci then followed the vine to find the melon and quickly sorted out the overall appearance of the Five-Element Spirit Talisman.

  But he also felt that in this situation, the talisman was inevitably influenced by the green light, and with the copper mirror's seemingly spiritual "breathing", an unknowable change occurred. Looking at it this way, the Five-Element Spirit Talisman is certainly a clue, but the key point still lies with the copper mirror itself.

  Yu Ci really wanted to continue exploring, but this wasn't a place where one could calm their mind. After hearing the howls of wild beasts several times in a row, she simply gave up on the idea of trying to calm her mind.

  It's good to be confused for the time being. He laughed and felt more and more pleased, then thought: "Such an extraordinary skill should have a loud name... This mirror is called 'Divine Bronze Mirror', so this skill of reflecting heaven and earth can be called 'Divine Map'."

  This name is not so fitting, but it follows the same vein as the name of the mirror. After repeating it twice, I find it pleasant to the ear, and thus decide on it.

  At this point, Yu Ci was already quite satisfied, and after slightly recognizing the direction, he took the copper mirror in hand and set off. But after walking a few miles, he still felt that this situation was a bit too strange, his hands holding the copper mirror, the copper mirror above reflecting the divine light radiating in all directions, displaying the surrounding mountain scenery one by one, looking at it as if it were a divine object, its appearance dazzling, but if it were to appear before people, it would be a real foolish thing to do.

  It's better to put it away for the time being. Yu Ji had planned to store the mirror in his storage ring, but he hadn't used the ring for many days and didn't know the nature of the storage space, so he was afraid that it would have some effect on the copper mirror at this time, so he simply put the mirror in his sleeve as before.

  It's strange to say, as soon as the copper mirror was put into his sleeve, the light and shadow disappeared cleanly. The suddenness of it all startled Yu Ci. Fortunately, when he moved again, a green mist spread out, and the mountains and forests within a range of fifty miles appeared before his eyes like a celestial mountain in the clouds. At this moment, the copper mirror was still in his sleeve, but the green misty celestial mountain seemed to have emerged out of thin air.

  All he could do was sigh again at this situation:

  "Oh baby!"

  As for the origin of this treasure, it is quite extraordinary. It is said that the Purple Thunder Great Immortal snatched it from a great battle involving more than ten sects in the Northern Territory, and the name "Divine Bronze Mirror" originated from there.

  It wasn't until many years later that the two immortals, apart from discovering the Mirror of Light and other superficial things, didn't gain anything else. They concluded that the mirror had been damaged in the great war, and the missing parts on the back were evidence. So they put this thing aside, and because Zi Lei thought the copper mirror was exquisitely crafted, it was placed in the bedroom as an ornament.

  On that day, Yu Ci took advantage of the intense battle between Shuang Xian and the enemy to rush into the burning Zilei Daxian's bedroom. There, she saw this mirror above the chaotic waves of the fierce battle, with a faint blue glow flashing wildly, looking quite mysterious. She also thought about how her cultivation of the Symbolic Arts required spiritual energy, so she took this object as the first thing. In fact, it turned out that this choice was the most correct one.

  Everything is inseparable from a single word "fate", Yu Ci felt that, looking at the bronze mirror, this old fellow and himself are quite fated!

  He was deeply moved, and took another look at the photo of his deceased loved one, preparing to put it away temporarily. However, as he glanced around, he was taken aback once again.

  It's just the effort of walking these few miles, in the lower left corner of the small world, a white line extends out, traversing the entire Shengshen diagram. Even if it is reduced by thousands or tens of thousands of times compared to reality, it is still magnificent. Moreover, as the white line extends, the scenery on the left half of the Shengshen diagram no longer has the obstruction of rock layers and continues to extend downward.

  At this point, parallel to the ground, Yu Ji quickly understood:

  "That is... Sky Rift Valley?"

  Yu Ci had been rushing about for many days, covering hundreds of miles. It seemed like a long distance, but he was still moving along the edge of the Heavenly Rift Valley. As he got closer to the top of the cliff, the Divine Map was also changing constantly.

  To know, in the Sky Crack Valley, there is an endless void without any obstruction on the ground and no invisible barrier in the sky. The divine power of the Shining God Map can be fully utilized to its maximum extent. When Yu Ci arrived at the edge of the cliff, facing the longest canyon in this realm, the front half of the Shining God Map, except for the height of the sky still being limited, the arc degree of the lower hemisphere has been perfectly presented.

  Fifty li ahead, fifty li below, the world of clouds and mist was completely under Yu Ci's control. Although it looked a bit blurry with white mist, compared to the "clairvoyance" range of only one hundred zhang on the ground, it was much stronger.

  But what surprised Yu Ji was another thing: "Fifty li have passed... and still no bottom in sight?"

  Yu Zhi had never been so deeply informed about the internal situation of the Sky Crack Valley. But the more he understood, the more he felt that the facts before his eyes were challenging his common sense to the limit.

  Fifty li... is a height of over eight thousand zhang. In the twelve years I've been wandering around the world, I've seen countless lofty mountains and steep ridges, but I've never seen anything as astonishing as this. Moreover, this is only the part revealed by the "Shen Tu", there are still deeper worlds hidden in the layers of clouds and mist.

  "Could it be true that this place leads to the underworld of the Yellow Spring?"

  Who polished this flying mirror? Reflecting the vastness of the universe, shining through mountains and rivers. The treasure of Brother Fishbone is finally revealed in its entirety, sincerely asking book friends to collect and encourage with red tickets.
