Rebirth of a Quasi-Immortal Spirit

Wuya Qiubai woke up three days later. During that time, a certain Miss Yun, who always said "I'm very busy" every time she visited, came about seventy or eighty times. During this period, Gao Zhun also asked her to take Gu Xinling and You Ruolan to Akemo's place.

When Yun Mu Ning visited for the eleventh time, Wu Ya Qiu Bai finally woke up.

"I've been dealing with too many trivial matters with Akomo for the past three days, so this is my first time here. If you dare to let anything slip, I'll have Jingling Tianhua deal with you."

Sure enough, Gao Zhun, who had just seen the light at the end of the tunnel, was threatened by Yun Mu Ning through telepathy. If she hadn't robbed Gu Xinling and You Ruolan of a lot of food, she probably would have lost a lot of weight in just three days.

In fact, Yun Mu Ning has been very busy lately, so after confirming that Wu Ya Qiu Bai had woken up and was alright during her eleventh visit, she immediately teleported away from this place.

Gao Zhun was somewhat curious about Yun Mu Ning's busy schedule. After all, due to Wu Ya Qiu Bai's injuries, she had been in a state of extreme leisure these days. However, she had heard You Ruo Lan say before she left that the Alliance had held several meetings in recent days. It seemed that Blood Shadow and Light Shadow had serious disagreements on some plans, which led to a stalemate in the decision. As a result, the 'envoys from outer space' on both sides had also accumulated anger, causing a tense situation.

"It seems that Akomo values ​​Miss Yun very much, otherwise why would he assign her so many tasks, leaving her no time to even sit down and have a cup of tea?" Gao Zhun was quite confident in her tea-making speed. However, before she could finish brewing the tea, Yun Mu Ning had already disappeared.

“I think Xiao Ning is not busy with the affairs of Akemo.” Wu Yaqiu Bai picked up the tea that Gao Zhun had originally brewed for Yun Mu Ning, took a sip, and showed an appreciative smile: “I didn’t expect you to have such skills. People with such exquisite tea ceremony skills are rare in the cultivation world, but there are quite a few in the mortal world.”

Gao Zhun asked, "Thank you for the compliment, but how does Miss Wuya know this?"

Wuya Qiubai handed the empty teacup to Gao Zhun, gesturing for him to refill it. Then, she held the teacup in her hand, intently watching the swirling steam above it.

“Akomo’s affairs are handled by your cousin. She’s much better at this than Xiao Ning, isn’t she?” Wu Yaqiu looked up at Gao Zhun, her eyes gleaming with a chilling light.

"Xiao Ning just told me that the Mirror Spirit Tianhua cannot protect your soul. In other words, among all the celestial messengers, you are the only one who has not received Tianhua's protection. So, can I assume that Powang is indeed superior to the Tianhua Illusion Mirror and can truly break through all illusions?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Zhun gave an awkward smile: "Hehe, I was actually discovered. Indeed, my right arm was injured because of this before, and I have even lost the ability to abstain from grains. Now, I can only eat, drink and sleep like an ordinary person. Well, I don't need to relieve myself."

"Actually, Xiao Ning is busy with this."

Suddenly, Wuya Qiubai changed the subject and took out a row of several memory stones from her storage ring. She arranged them one by one on Gao Zhun's tea table, and then took out the first one in order. A scene of a gathering of nearly a hundred people appeared between Gao Zhun and Wuya Qiubai.

Gao Zhun exclaimed in surprise: "Is this the venue for the Alliance Conference these past few days?"

Wuya Qiubai nodded: "That's right. These days, Xiao Ning has been using the Mirror Spirit Tianhua and the recording stone to record the meetings that I missed. Of course, there are also internal meetings that we extraterrestrial envoys have no right to participate in. Now, let's watch them together and then analyze the current situation together."

Given Gao Zhun and Wu Yaqiubai's status as cultivators, they naturally wouldn't need to watch the recording stone like they would a movie. If an ordinary person were to enter Wu Yaqiubai's room at this moment, they would surely see a pair of afterimages flashing by. In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the two of them had watched all the meetings, big and small, held by the alliance over the past three days, and had memorized all the key points of the meetings.

After reading all the contents recorded on the commemorative stones, Gao Zhun frowned and remained silent for a long time.

"Ask whatever you want to ask." Wu Yaqiubai saw through Gao Zhun's doubts at a glance, and perhaps, she was the best person to answer those doubts.

"As far as I know, this illusion, like Yongcheng, has existed for tens of millions of years. As for Akomo's invasion, it has also lasted for tens of millions of years. In other words, the alliance was formed from the very beginning of the illusion, and the enmity between the two sides has existed. However, how was that enmity, which has lasted for tens of millions of years, originally set up? After all, the deep-seated contradiction between Blood Shadow and Light Shadow is too deep, and this world is also so real. I cannot imagine that the enmity between them was just due to the simple setting of that powerful person from the Yun family."

“Of course it’s not a simple setting.” Wuya Qiubai pointed to herself: “Gao Zhun, do you know what the bloodline talent of my Wuya family is? I felt it as soon as I arrived here. This illusion is filled with the aura of the Wuya family’s bloodline talent.”

“This…” Gao Zhun shook her head. How could she possibly know what Wuya Qiubai’s bloodline talent was? Before she met this person, she had never even heard of the Wuya family.

Faced with the expected answer, Wuya Qiubai still couldn't help but sigh, her tone wistful: "It's time. Our Wuya family wields the power of time. Of course, it's difficult to exert its influence on the Immortal Spirit Continent, but in various secret realms or illusions where the world's laws aren't strong enough, we are the masters of time. This is also why we have such a close relationship with the Yun family, who possess both the power of prophecy and control the Heavenly Mirror of Illusion. After all, if we wanted to, we could simply lure everyone into the Heavenly Mirror of Illusion, and with the help of time, the Wuya family could easily make time within the illusion flow for tens of thousands of years. In such a place where cultivation cannot grow..." In this ever-evolving illusion, who can endure tens of thousands of years? Most cultivators would have turned to dust after a million years, wouldn't they? Therefore, tens of millions of years ago, under the joint creation of Yun Chengyun, the then-holder of the Heavenly Mirror of the Yun family, and my ancestors, this illusion was created. Then, using the time-manipulation power of my Wuya family, the conflict between Blood Shadow and Light Shadow accumulated for tens of thousands of years in a short period. Only then was a powerful intruder, Akomo, introduced—so powerful that only an alliance between the irreconcilable hatred of Blood Shadow and Light Shadow could resist him.

"Wait a minute..." After listening to Wuya Qiubai's description, Gao Zhun felt like she had learned a lot of incredible things. First of all, of course, the bloodline talent of the Wuya family was actually time. The controller of time, what a cool existence! She secretly glanced at Wuya Qiubai and really wanted to say that Wuya Qiubai was three meters tall today, but she was afraid of being beaten down by the other party, so she simply gave up this suicidal idea.

Secondly, this illusion was actually created by Yun Chengyun and an ancestor of the Wuya family. No wonder she felt that this world was so realistic. After millions of years of evolution, any bugs in the illusion would have been fixed long ago. In that sense, breaking this illusion is harder than climbing to heaven. However, if we start from the contradiction between the blood shadow and the light shadow, then breaking the balance is quite simple. At least it proves that the direction they came up with to leave was correct.

Finally, just how bored must those two cultivators, who were undoubtedly powerful figures in their time, have been to create such a secret realm supported by an illusion? In other words, what is the purpose of this illusion?

"Everything is a mystery, and the key to solving one mystery... is another mystery. The ancients were right." Gao Zhun had this bad habit: whenever he heard something secret, he would always go through it again. However, no matter how much he went through it, there was usually only one outcome: while the original doubts were resolved, more and more complicated doubts would arise.

"..." Wu Yaqiu Bai realized that Gao Zhun always got distracted at times like this. She sighed. She thought she was already the type of person who thought a lot, but now it seemed that Gao Zhun was even more so. She couldn't understand why someone born into the most noble family of the human race would have so many thoughts. Of course, she knew that wealthy families often had many grudges, but Gao Zhun was only thirteen years old. This was only her first time going out to gain experience, but she didn't show any naivety of someone just entering the world. Instead, she was extremely wary and shrewd. Although she sometimes spoke without thinking, well, most of the time she did speak without thinking. This was probably the only thing about her that made her seem like a clan member who had just left home.

Thinking back to when she was thirteen, she had already begun to take on the responsibility of making a living for her small family. Compared to Gao Zhun, she wasn't much different, and Wu Yaqiubai finally felt a little more at ease.

"Huh? Maybe I was right about why I lost control and attacked Gu Xinling." Finally remembering this, Gao Zhun hurriedly recounted to Wu Yaqiubai what had happened three days ago when she went out to find food.

"You mean, you've lost control?" Wu Yaqiu Bai was taken aback. "That shouldn't be the case. You possess the Eye of Truth, so nothing should affect your behavior. At least, based on the documents I've read, Xuan Yuan Po Wang was someone who always maintained his rationality and never lost his mind. Gao Zhun, I can tell you with certainty that what caused you to lose control is definitely not an external factor, and of course, it couldn't be the Eye of Truth either."
