Master comes down the mountain, I don’t know martial arts, but I am an immortal

"Taixu Yin-Yang Mirror?" Xiang Wanqing was a little surprised to hear the name. "This is the Sansheng Stone that Muchen and I picked up on the Yellow Spring Road and by the Wangchuan River. It can see three lives and three worlds."

"What three lives and three worlds? It's nothing but a false illusion!" said Ye Zhong.

"I know. Mu Chen said that this mirror has three illusions, but one side can reflect the truth." Xiang Wanqing said.

"That's what you think is real! Once you enter the void, everything is an illusion. Think about it carefully, girl. The Yellow Springs Road, the Forgotten River, the Three Lives Stone, are all these real?" Ye Zhong asked.

Xiang Wanqing was stunned for a moment, then fell into deep thought.

"Okay, stop chatting. What's real or imaginary? You have to rescue us first." You Guang urged.

"How to save him?" Xiang Wanqing asked.

"Girl, quickly aim the three illusions of the mirror at the Tiangang Purple Curtain between the three of us. There are exactly three spaces. Use your mind to lock on the side you think is real."

"and then?"

"The mirror is in your hand. It represents your three lives. Even though it is an illusion, it is what you own. You can travel between reality and illusion. In this way, you can come to us."

"I understand. That way I can bring you out of the virtual plane." Xiang Wanqing said.

"Hehe, you're dreaming, little girl!" You Guang laughed, "You also know that this is an imaginary plane, and we are real beings. How can you take away real things from the imaginary plane? Not to mention two living people like us!"

"Can I bring out the pen you have and give it to him?"

The brush was on Ye Zhong, while the Picture of Mountains, Rivers and States was on You Guang. Xiang Wanqing meant to give the brush from Ye Zhong to You Guang, so that You Guang could use the brush to change the painting and release the people in the painting.

Unexpectedly, Ye Zhong shook his head and said, "No! The pen is also a real object, you can't take it away."

"Ah?!" Xiang Wanqing was shocked. "What should I do then?"

"You can move the map of mountains, rivers, and the country." You Guang said.

"Why?" Xiang Wanqing was puzzled. "Isn't the Mountain and River State Map also a real object?"

"No, the Mountain and River Map is an illusion. Look at it, where are the mountains and rivers and the country? It is a world made up by the saints. It is not in the same dimension as this world. Tell me, how can it be real?"

"That is to say, I can't draw, but I can animate, and I can bring the drawings to you." Xiang Wanqing said.

"Girl, you are wrong again." Ye Zhong said, "The picture is a real picture, with paper, ink, and scroll. How can you drag it into illusion?"

"Didn't you just say that it was an illusion?" Xiang Wanqing became more and more confused the more she listened.

You Guang shook his head: "It is the world in the painting that is illusory, not the painting itself. The so-called illusion is in the reality, and the reality is in the illusion. This world is inherently both real and unreal. If there is no real entity, how can the empty space be contained? If there is no empty space, the entity will lose its function."

"For example, the bowl you use to eat is empty inside. Only when it is empty can it be used to hold rice. This is called emptiness. Without this emptiness, it is not called a bowl, and it loses its function. A world without function is not a world. And this emptiness is based on reality. If there is no solid clay to be fired into a embryo, the emptiness will have nowhere to be placed, and there will be no such thing as a bowl."

"I understand." Xiang Wanqing said, "This is the relationship between the tool and its use. The tool is real, and the use is virtual. Sixth Senior Brother often said that the most important thing in refining a tool is not its material, but its use. Only by knowing its use can you understand its nature. This is like teaching a child. Only by teaching everyone and teaching according to their aptitude can a person be cultivated into a talent."

"So do you understand what to do now?" No Zhong asked.

Xiang Wanqing thought for a moment and said, "Senior wants me to connect with the space in the Mountain and River State Map through the illusory surface of the Taixu Yin-Yang Mirror, and then travel through it, so that I can enter the Mountain and River State Map. But the problem is... what can I do after I go in? Can I bring my senior brothers and the others out?"

Ye Zhong smiled and said, "You are quite smart, and your aptitude and understanding are also top-notch. No wonder Master Li gave you the Taixu Yin-Yang Mirror. But if you want to go to the Shanhe Sheji Tu, you can't bring them out."

"why?"

"Because they are real too. The Shanhe Shejitu is a void of space, where there is not even time. You cannot bring a real thing into the void, so how can you bring a real thing out of a void world?"

"But... if that is a world of nothingness, how did they get in? Who can bring real things into nothingness? Is Gao Qi that powerful?" Xiang Wanqing asked.

"Gao Xi?" You Guang sneered, "Don't even mention him, even his ancestors can't do anything about it!"

"This is the ingenuity of the saints' creation." Ye Zhong said, "You have to think that the world in the painting is virtual, but the painting itself is real. So your senior brother and others, on the surface, appear to be absorbed into the painting, but in fact, they are just turned into ink spots attached to the real painting. Otherwise, how could we save them with just a paintbrush?"

"Modian?!" Xiang Wanqing was shocked. "You mean, they have already..."

"They are fine," said Ye Zhong. "Becoming ink dots is just a change in their surface appearance. To use the fashionable words now, they have become two-dimensional creatures. You see them as ink dots, but they themselves cannot feel it."

"So they are not in that empty world?"

“Neither here nor here.”

"What do you mean by not here or not here?"

"They are in the painting, on the same canvas as the mountains and rivers. They are not in the painting, because they are still real lives, and that empty space and time is lifeless. If they really entered that world, they would have died long ago."

"So...what exactly do I need to do? How can I save them?"

"You don't have to save them, let them save themselves. What you need to do is to turn that virtual world into reality."

"How can we make the virtual world become the real world?"

"The Taixu Yin-Yang Mirror has three false and one true, and the real and the fake are connected. You just need to enter the virtual world created by the saint, connect with it through the three virtual mirrors of the Taixu Yin-Yang Mirror, and inject the vitality of the real side into it. Just a little bit, even a trace of vitality, can disturb the entire world of mountains and rivers."

"What will happen?"

"The universe will suddenly open up, and the great wilderness will surge. By then, the scroll will naturally melt away, and they can come out. With the power of the great wilderness, we can break the Tiangang formation!" Ye Zhong sighed when he said this, "It's a pity that the authentic work of the saint, this treasure made by the ten great wizards together, will disappear from now on."

"It's nothing to regret." You Guang said, "When the saint painted the picture, he must have anticipated this day. Girl, you should get ready quickly. Remember, you must use your strongest telekinesis to protect the true side. Otherwise, once the void is gone, you won't be able to come back."
