Mysterious mirror hanging high

Chapter 5 Paving the Way for Fellow Daoists

Lu Yingzhao, who had awakened the "I Am the Only One" destiny, first glanced at Jing Yu thoughtfully before asking, "How do you change it? Fellow Daoist, why don't you explain it more clearly?"

Xuan Qingzi did not dare to neglect this great god who appeared out of nowhere, and hurriedly bowed and explained:

"So that Fellow Daoist Lu may know that although there are no powerful figures in the Immortal Continent right now, all of you who have reincarnated have also started out as ordinary people and know nothing about this world. The meaning of the decree just now by our Palace Master is that you all reincarnate in turn. The scenes of each person's first hundred years of reincarnation will be projected into the palace by the treasure mirror for those who come after to observe. This will help them understand this world. If those who have gone before you succeed in the Immortal Continent, those who are interested will also have a place to go."

Everyone looked at each other, and for a moment there was complete silence in the Hall of Longevity.

Finally, Lu Yingzhao asked again, "A hundred years, and every detail has been projected into the palace? Doesn't that mean the pioneers have no secrets at all?"

"That's not the case. Not every detail of the past hundred years will be projected. Only excerpts of important moments will be captured. Furthermore, the Fate-Knowing Mirror stimulates your destiny, thus creating a connection with yours. If the mirror observes something, the person being observed will naturally feel it. If you don't want others to see this scene, you can simply terminate the connection with a thought."

"After you reach the age of one hundred, the magic mirror will no longer monitor you constantly. It will only confirm your life or death once every few hundred years. Whether you can ascend to the immortal realm will depend on your own abilities."

"Old Immortal, won't those who come after you have to wait in the temple for hundreds of years before they can be reincarnated?" Ye Xingyun rubbed his cheeks: "That's a bit unbearable."

"Fellow Daoist Ye, don't worry. I have my own secret method. To the soul in the temple, a hundred years will feel like a blink of an eye... Besides, the soul's true spirit has not yet reincarnated and merged with the body, so it will not consume the lifespan. Waiting a few hundred years before reincarnation is not a big deal."

"Which fellow Taoist wants to reincarnate first?"

The hall fell silent again.

No wonder...Jing Yu thought.

This rule clearly states that the later one is reincarnated, the more advantageous it is. After all, the later one is ranked, the more one knows about the many secrets of the fairyland.

Moreover, time reveals a person's true character. In a hundred years, you can see a lot about a person. If you don't do well after reincarnation, you can still choose a decent senior to seek refuge with and receive some help.

On the contrary, the first one to reincarnate would probably suffer the most, so naturally no one would be willing to be the first to step in for others.

"Let me do it."

Everyone looked at her and saw that it was indeed the woman who had awakened the destiny of "I am the only one".

Lu Yingzhao smiled at the gazes and said, "The road ahead to the Immortal Continent is uncertain. I, Lu, am a skilled fighter, so I will lead the way for you fellow Taoists!"

Xuan Qingzi nodded and waved his sleeves. Suddenly, a towering gate with carved railings and jade bricks rose in the center of the hall. The scene inside the gate was hazy and unclear.

Lu Yingzhao didn't waste any words and strode towards Tianmen with his head held high. Before leaving, he turned his head to look in the direction of Jing Yu, smiled slightly, and nodded.

After Lu Yingzhao entered the Heavenly Gate, the bronze mirror in Xuan Qingzi's hand fell above the Heavenly Gate. The image of a swaddled baby began to appear in the mirror, and a line of small words appeared on the edge of the bronze mirror...

[Year 1 of the Changsheng calendar]

At the same time, Xuan Qingzi pinched his fingers and formed a magical spell, muttering to himself: A hundred years in a moment...

----

Lu Yingzhao was born in the mansion of General Zhengbei in a secular dynasty. She had an older sister and an older brother. The general's wife died of complications during childbirth. General Zhengbei and his wife were deeply in love and never remarried. Lu Yingzhao became the youngest daughter in the family.

Because his mother died when giving birth to Lu Yingzhao, his father did not like Lu Yingzhao very much. He felt that this youngest daughter had killed his beloved wife. His brothers and sisters were much older than him and did not like him either.

Fortunately, Lu Yingzhao didn't think it was a big deal. Although she was not welcome in her own family, the General Zhengbei's Mansion was, after all, a well-known and wealthy family in the imperial city, and they had no shortage of food, clothing, or other necessities. She had never learned poetry, books, or needlework since she was a child, so she just picked out a few martial arts books from her family's collection to strengthen her muscles and hone her martial arts skills.

There were no immortal cultivators in the secular dynasty where Lu Yingzhao was located, but the emperor in the court was not a serious man. He spent all day seeking immortality. The imperial city kept a group of fraudulent alchemists, and even ordered the generals in the army to lead troops to conquer the four borders in order to seek immortality.

Her father was often summoned out of the capital, but this had little to do with Lu Yingzhao. She just practiced martial arts quietly in the general's mansion.

[Year 13 of the Changsheng calendar]

General Zhengbei returned from outside the Great Wall and secretly went to the palace to meet the emperor. He never came out again.

That night, the palace ordered a bloodbath at the General Zhengbei's mansion, accusing the General Zhengbei of treason. That night, the mansion was flooded with blood. The general's eldest son and daughter were all beheaded, and only his youngest daughter was missing.

Rumor has it that General Zhengbei really found the remains of an immortal during his trip outside the Great Wall, which contained the immortal skills. In order to prevent the news from leaking out, the emperor killed him.

However, as time went by, the emperor's health deteriorated day by day, and no magical skills were revealed, so the rumor gradually died down.

[Year 21 of the Changsheng calendar]

It happened that eight years after the night when the General Zhengbei's Mansion was massacred, the emperor's body was found on the main throne in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. He was beheaded by a sword, and the head was nailed to the door frame of the Hall of Mental Cultivation with a rusty long sword.

Some eunuchs recognized the rusty sword as the original sword of General Zhengbei, and they were all terrified. Despite the layers of palace restrictions, no one could find the assassin's trace. They just thought it was the wronged ghost of the general's mansion coming to claim his life.

The one who seeks revenge is naturally not the wronged soul, but Lu Yingzhao, whose martial arts have reached the pinnacle in the world.

That year, his father did find two books of immortal skills outside the Great Wall.

One is called [Qi Yin Shu], which is used to guide qi into the body for ordinary people and embark on the path to immortality; the other is called [Breathing Method], which is a non-attribute technique that can be practiced by cultivators of any spiritual root attribute.

Jing Yu and others in the Changsheng Hall opened their eyes wide to try to see the content of the exercises, but found that the words on the screen were blurry and obviously blurred.

Because the emperor had no spiritual roots, he was unable to draw any energy into his body for eight whole years. He had the skills but could not enter the immortal gate.

That day, Lu Yingzhao sat cross-legged, and in just over half an hour he was able to draw the Qi into his body and circulate it around his body, thus becoming a cultivator at the first level of Qi training.

[Year 28 of the Changsheng calendar]

During the seven years, Lu Yingzhao relied solely on the [Breathing Method], a common technique in the world of immortal cultivation, to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and made rapid progress all the way to the fourth level of Qi training.

She also traveled around the world during these seven years, and finally found the traces of other immortal cultivators at the end of the year and came to an immortal cultivation market.

She had her spiritual roots tested in the market and discovered that she had a mutated thunder root, so she switched to practicing the thunder-attributed technique [Thunder Art].

After that, Lu Yingzhao lived in the market town and relied on hunting monsters around the market town in exchange for food for his practice.

[Year 36 of the Changsheng calendar]

Another eight years passed, and Lu Yingzhao had the resources to practice cultivation. He also changed his skills to thunder-attributed skills that matched his spiritual roots. He reached the ninth level of Qi training without encountering any bottlenecks.

However, there is a threshold from Qi training to foundation building, and one needs a foundation building pill to have a chance of breaking through. Although Lu Yingzhao vaguely feels that she has a great chance of breaking through even without the foundation building pill, for the sake of safety, she still plans to ask for this pill.

Fortunately, those who practice Qigong can live for a hundred years. If they take good care of themselves, the probability of building a foundation before the age of eighty will not decrease due to old age and physical weakness. Lu Yingzhao still has plenty of time.

[Year 38 of the Changsheng calendar]

The Foundation Establishment Pill is not easy to obtain for a casual cultivator. Lu Yingzhao is unwilling to join a sect, so he can only continue to lie dormant and wait for the opportunity.

However, this year, as she continued to hone her cultivation, she suddenly felt something in her heart. She felt as if a bottleneck in her heart suddenly broke open. She had actually reached the tenth level of Qi training, which had never been recorded in any of the fairy news in the market!
