Mysterious mirror hanging high

This would be fine under normal circumstances, but there is a Divine Cauldron Divine Transformation cultivator like Ying Shigui here who appears and disappears like a ghost. If he stays on the shore, he will be a target and will be waiting to die.

If he follows a cultivator with amazing combat power like Lu Yingzhao into the Weiyang Palace to receive inheritance, there might be a glimmer of hope.

Not to mention that there might be some treasure or opportunity in the Weiyang Palace that can be used to deal with the pseudo-god-transforming monk.

Yun Xuance whispered, "Xuanjing, when we're transported to the Inner Demon Lake later...if we become entangled in the Inner Demon and can't extricate ourselves...you and Fellow Daoist Lu will have to keep an eye on us. Just make sure we don't fall into the lake."

Jing Yu nodded silently. His destiny of [Longevity] was born with the ability to break through delusion and preserve the truth, as well as ignore inner demons. To him, this inner demon lake was just an ordinary lake, and there was no danger.

Yun Xuance then said to the old man, "Old man, your bamboo raft is too small to accommodate so many people..."

The old man smiled and said, "That's easy."

As soon as he finished speaking, the bamboo raft under the old man's feet swelled up in the wind, and in an instant it expanded to a size that could accommodate hundreds of people. Dozens of Yuanying from Penglai and the East China Sea boarded the bamboo raft one after another. Only Xiao Guanyue looked hesitant and kept looking back.

Xiao Zhiwei, the [Langhuan Fairy] of the Penglai Holy Land, turned to look at Xiao Guanyue and said, "Guanyue, aren't you coming up?"

"Aunt..." Xiao Guanyue hesitated for a moment and said, "I want to wait a little longer."

Xiao Zhiwei frowned, "This place is not safe. If that Divine Cauldron Divine Transformation cultivator arrives here, we won't be able to unite as a group and will surely be defeated one by one..."

Yang Dingfeng knew Xiao Guanyue was worried about Qi Liyan's whereabouts, so he stepped forward and whispered, "Senior Brother Qi hasn't been heard from yet. I'm afraid he's in grave danger... If he's alright, and just delayed somewhere, he'll definitely see the marks we left along the way."

"If Senior Brother Qi dies... then waiting here will be useless."

"Besides, if the worst really happens and the Central Peak of the Songfeng Five Peaks is lost, we two must not make any more mistakes! Otherwise, how can we be worthy of the Supreme's careful cultivation over the years?"

Xiao Guanyue sighed, no longer insisted, and got on the bamboo raft with everyone else.

Seeing that dozens of Yuanying Zhenjun had boarded the bamboo raft, the old man held the bamboo pole and steered the raft slowly towards the center of the lake.

"The outer lake is called [Hengshi Lake], and it can reflect another possibility in your life. If you are interested, you can go to the edge of the bamboo raft to reflect yourself..."

The old man spoke but his hands did not stop at all. His words aroused the interest of some Nascent Soul cultivators, and they moved to the edge of the bamboo raft and looked at the lake.

"Hey, let me take a look..."

Yuwen Baoge was extremely curious about this kind of thing. He bent down and looked at the lake, but after a moment he became furious:

"That's unreasonable!"

Jing Yu wondered why Yuwen Baoge was so angry. He glanced at the lake from the corner of his eye and was slightly startled: "Huh?"

On the vast lake surface, the waves reflected a wonderful sight, and in the middle of it stood a solemn and majestic immortal temple.

The palace towers into the clouds, with golden pillars supporting the dome. Inspiration flows above it, and a mysterious Taoist rhyme descends.

The ground was neither made of gold nor jade, but was paved with a whole piece of dark green jade. It was so bright that you could see through it, and it reflected the starlight from the dome.

And in the depths of the palace, on the nine-layered white jade steps, sat a figure.

Yuwen Baoge, dressed in golden armor, was crawling on the cold black jade ground under the red steps, meticulously performing the most solemn ceremony of three kneelings and nine kowtows.

Every time he kowtowed, the golden armor touched the jade ground, making a low and clear "dong" sound, which echoed in the empty and silent hall, adding to the solemnity.

Jing Yu looked intently at the top of the Danbi - the person sitting there had the face of Xiao Guanying without a doubt!

However, the reflection in the lake was completely different from the Xiao Guanying he knew.

In the video, Xiao Guanying's brows lack the aloofness of looking down on all living beings and the will of heaven, but instead have a bit more warmth and majesty. He exudes the aura of a benevolent and wise emperor, and he looks like a holy lord respected by all people in the secular dynasty.

What shocked Jing Yu even more was that there was another person kneeling beside Yuwen Baoge!

The man's face was exactly the same as Yuwen Baoge's, but he was wearing a civil servant's robe and had an elegant and profound temperament.

Jing Yu recognized him at a glance. This person was actually [Yuwen Baoding] who had long since perished in [Yunding Fairy Palace]!

At this moment, he was also in this mysterious hall, kneeling down devoutly with his biological brother Yuwen Baoge.

"How can this not make sense? How can it not make sense!"

Yuwen Baoge took out a spirit stone from his storage bag and threw it onto the lake, causing ripples. The image shattered and disappeared.

The awe-inspiring Golden Armored True Lord angrily said, "I think Hengshi Lake probably won't allow this... The Yuwen family finally broke free from the Divine Cauldron Immortal Dynasty, so why would they cling to the Heavenly Court again? No matter how destitute I am, I won't become Xiao Guanying's dog!"

"Besides, what kind of person is Yuwen Baoding? How can he be on the same level as me..."

Jing Yu casually said, "Don't worry about it, sir. The old senior just said that this Hengshi Lake can only reflect another possibility in the lives of cultivators like us... There are countless possibilities for people, and anything can happen. Choosing only one of them means nothing."

"That's right." Yuwen Baoge still looked a little angry, but he was secretly muttering in his heart:

"The Xiao Guanying in this video is quite different from the expressionless face he has now. He really has the bearing of a king, which is very impressive."

The curiosity of the other Yuanying Zhenjuns was also aroused. They looked towards the lake and let out a series of exclamations:

"Huh? How did I become a corpse?"

"So do I!"

"How could they perish like this... We were considered to have the support of the Divine Transformation Sect, yet we died in such an unclear manner? Could it be that the so-called [Immortal Continent Great Tribulation] has come early?"

Yang Dingfeng looked towards the lake with a pale face, and was also slightly startled:

But he saw his own figure appearing in a clean and spacious study.

Yang Dingfeng was also wearing a civil official's robe. He lowered his eyes and gathered his sleeves, and bowed respectfully to Xiao Guanying, who was sitting behind the desk, while reporting some government affairs in a low voice.

His respectful and humble posture was exactly the same as that of the Yuwen brothers when they kowtowed in the hall.

What shocked Yang Dingfeng even more was his own appearance in the video!

How could the body reflected in the lake show any of the decadence and weakness of being sick and frail, corroded by cold in reality?

But his face was rosy, his spirit was profound, and between his brows there was a deep and majestic aura of righteousness flowing continuously. It was obvious that all the chronic illnesses in his body had been cured, his foundation in Taoism was solid, and he looked like a man with a deep foundation and a bright future.

Compared with the gloomy, strange and weak real self in reality, the difference is like heaven and earth, they are completely different people!
