Mysterious mirror hanging high

The void was shaking, and a quarter of an hour later, Xiao Beiyue and Jing Yu appeared in front of the gate of Xuan Ce Mountain.

"Senior Xiao..."

Jing Yu was about to ask, but saw Xiao Beiyue's serious expression, and for a moment he didn't know how to start.

"I haven't been home for ten years, so I should first report my safety to Sanniang and the others. As for what major events have occurred in the past ten years... Sanniang will explain it to you."

Xiao Beiyue looked hesitant, and after a moment he said, "Penglai has been experiencing a lot of trouble these years. If Xuan Jing doesn't have something important to do, it's best not to wander around casually."

After saying that, he sighed and left through the void.

After Xiao Beiyue left, Jing Yu turned and looked towards the gate of Xuan Ce Mountain, and found that the mountain protection formation connecting the three mountains of [Tianji Peak], [Diquan Peak], and [Renpan Peak] was actually emitting a faint ochre light.

The Xuan Ce Sect's mountain protection formation is a genuine Nascent Soul formation, divided into three levels: [Heaven, Earth, and Man]. Among them, the [Man] level is the lowest level of operation, with only the most basic warning and isolation purposes. The consumption of spirit stones used to maintain it is also the least, and it emits a faint white light.

The [Earth] level has the wonderful uses of protecting the mountain, killing enemies, hiding, and connecting the mountain terrain. It is usually opened after the mountain gate encounters external enemies. The spiritual stones required to maintain it are medium-sized and emit a yellowish-brown light.

As for the [Heaven] level... it will never be opened unless the entire Taoist sect faces a critical moment of life and death.

"It's broad daylight, and there are no enemies around. How could they activate the Earth-level formation? What happened?..."

Jing Yu had a bad feeling in his heart, so he flew over and knocked on the mountain gate.

A moment later, two Jindan Zhenren flew down from Tianji Peak. They were Yunji and Gongsun Shangyi.

The two men were shrouded in precious light, their magical powers surging, and they looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy. After recognizing Jing Yu, they breathed a sigh of relief, opened a gap in the mountain protection formation, and urged:

"Xuan Jing, come in quickly!"

"What's going on?" Jing Yu asked.

Gongsun Shangyi hesitated to speak. Yun Ji sighed and pulled Jing Yu's sleeve, "Come with us to see the Sect Master first."

The three of them arrived at the Baixiao Pavilion on Tianji Peak. After entering the pavilion, they found Yun Xuance and Ye Xingyun both there. They had solemn expressions on their faces, but when they saw Jing Yu, they forced a hint of joy on their faces and nodded to Jing Yu.

"Greetings to the Sect Master, the True Lord." Jing Yu bowed.

Yun Xuance still clutched a communication talisman in his hand. A trace of worry still lingered between his brows. He forced a smile and said, "So Xuan Jing has returned... What did you gain from [Xuanyuan Yuhuatian]?"

"Thanks to the two adults, it will be of great benefit." Jing Yu asked doubtfully, "I wonder what has happened in Zhongzhou in the past ten years? Why did Master Ye come here in his true form now..."

Ye Xingyun sighed and handed a jade slip to Jing Yu. "This records the major and minor events that have occurred in Penglai Xianzhou over the past ten years. Please read it briefly."

Jing Yu held the jade slip, placed it against his forehead, and probed it with his spiritual sense. After a moment, his expression was shocked and confused.

"Qiu Dongxuan, the [Dongxuan Tianjun] of the Penglai Holy Land, advanced to the late stage of the Divine Transformation and escaped. Consumed by his inner demons, he is now half-crazy and half-awake, wandering around the Penglai Immortal Continent?"

"The reason why the Penglai Holy Land was closed was to seal Qiu Dongxuan away. Now that Qiu Dongxuan has escaped, the gates of Penglai Mountain have been reopened..."

"Qiu Dongxuan destroyed [Jiangge]. Except for the disciples and elders who were traveling outside, all the members of Jiange were killed. Li Suxuan's life or death is unknown..."

"The Tiannan Demon Realm broke the tacit understanding that [Nascent Soul cultivators are not allowed to participate in large-scale domain wars] and launched a large-scale invasion of the [Hetian], [Yanhai], and [Yunchuan] domains. Now all three domains have been reduced to demonic territory..."

Jing Yu's pupils shrank as he saw the Yunchuan Domain file at the back:

"Yuwen Baoge was besieged by two Nascent Soul Stage Demon Lords and fled with serious injuries. He has been missing for the past five years."

"Master Banshan and all the disciples of the Houtu Sect surrendered to the Tiannan Demonic Sect. Now, he has been assigned to the command of Master Suying and is responsible for the construction of the Yunchuan region?"

"The vast majority of the Jindan True Immortals of the Xiaoyao League defected and surrendered. The few who stubbornly resisted were killed on the spot. Hu Yueqiu and Qiu Zhiyun were also killed..."

"A very small number of Jindan cultivators escaped, and Yuwen Xiaojin, Bo Lei, and Wan Ling are all missing..."

"The core foundation-building cultivators, Yuwen Yunqi and Yuwen Yunfu, died in battle. Yuwen Yundan and Zhao Yuanxi... are missing."

Jing Yu took the jade slip, his heart was in turmoil, and he was stunned for a moment:

"Yuan Xi..."

Yun Xuance and the others also knew that Zhao Yuanxi was Jing Yu's only relative in the world. Seeing him like this, they all spoke to comfort him:

"He's just missing now, not necessarily met with an accident. Perhaps he's just hiding somewhere, avoiding the demons' pursuit..."

But they all knew in their hearts that Zhao Yuanxi hadn't been heard from in the past five years. How could a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator have escaped the numerous obstacles of the Demonic Path? He was most likely dead somewhere.

But in fact, Jing Yu is not particularly anxious now, because he has his own way to confirm whether Zhao Yuanxi is alive or dead.

At this moment, his mind was immersed in the world in the mirror, observing the star clusters in the sky that represented each person's destiny.

Among them, the fate star clusters of Yuwen Baoge and Yuwen Xiaojin are still slightly shining, but the light is a little dim, and I am afraid that their conditions are not very good.

However, Zhao Yuanxi's fate star cluster was very bright, and he did not look like he was seriously injured. Everything seemed normal.

Just when Jing Yu was about to use up some of the spiritual energy stored in the mysterious mirror to observe the environment where Zhao Yuanxi was, he found that he was unable to peek.

"Being cut off?"

Jing Yu frowned. "This has never happened before... According to the description in the [Questioning Mirror Fate Method], the peeping method can ignore some secret realms that are not deeply isolated from the real world. I successfully peeped into Lu Yingzhao back then..."

"But now that Yuan Xi's condition is unknown, the only explanation is that she has fallen into a place completely isolated from the real world. Only a person at the first level of [Dongtian] can achieve this!"

Although Jing Yu still doesn't know Zhao Yuanxi's whereabouts, it seems that she must still be alive, otherwise the fate star cluster in the mirror world would directly lose its light and become completely dead.

Thinking of this, Jing Yu raised his head and frowned, "Let's put Yuan Xi's matter aside. What about Qiu Dongxuan? Wait...Qiu Dongxuan, why does this name sound so familiar?"

Jing Yu suddenly thought of something and blurted out, "[Gentu Dongxuan Spiritual Cultivation Treasure Array]! Is this Dongxuan Tianjun the Divine Transformation cultivator who is bound to Penglai Xianzhou and cannot ascend?"

"Exactly!" Ye Xingyun said with a wry smile, "Now the entire Penglai Immortal Continent has been turned upside down by this Dongxuan Tianjun. I don't know how many Yuanying Dao sects have suffered disaster."

"Qiu Dongxuan has been possessed by his inner demons and driven mad long ago. He's been wandering around for the past five years, causing quite a bit of trouble. He asks almost everyone he meets if they want to ascend..."

"If you answer with even a single word like 'I want', I will kill you immediately..."
