I became an immortal in the mountains

Chapter 953 Crisis in the Mirror, Creation Body
Upon hearing this, Wei Wuji sat up straight, stared at Gu Yuanqing, and said, "Do you really want to be my enemy?"

"I, Gu, have always only sought peace and quiet. I will not offend others unless they offend me; as long as you abide by the rules, I will abide by the rules too! But if you want me to be your weapon, then we'll see if you have the ability. We are all cultivators, so there's no need for further words." Gu Yuanqing's tone was calm but tinged with coldness.

Wei Wuji's gaze grew cold: "I originally intended to give everyone in the Linglong Realm a chance, leaving everything to fate. That's why when the Myriad Paths Returned to the Flow appeared, I didn't interfere and let you compete with the descendants of the Ancient Divine Sect."

In retrospect, it was Wei who was wrong. He ultimately raised a tiger to cause future trouble. Since you were unwilling to cherish this opportunity, you have only yourself to blame for the consequences. It's simply a matter of waiting a few more years to cultivate a new cultivator of the Path of Creation.”

Gu Yuanqing laughed: "From what you're saying, it sounds like I, Gu, am ungrateful."

Wei Wuji looked coldly at Gu Yuanqing. In fact, everyone understood that words alone could not change each other's positions and choices, unless they could all reveal more trump cards or benefits.

However, for Wei Wuji, Gu Yuanqing's role was to sever the connection between the people of Great Wei and the Demon Lord's soul, thereby allowing him to reclaim his own power.

But it's clear that Gu Yuanqing is not willing to be a tool, so he is of no use to me. In fact, as I just said, Gu Yuanqing has now become a major threat.

He didn't know what Gu Yuanqing had done with his own and the Demon Lord's power, but he was certain that this part of the power could not be taken back.

In the previous battle between the Ancient Realm and the Qian Yuan Realm, the Ancient Realm lost its power, so all subsequent plans related to this were rejected. The only idea was to force Gu Yuanqing to enter the Ancient Realm and take action.

Including the previous act of spreading his and the Demon Lord's power into the Linglong Realm, in addition to allowing more people to share the burden of his main body, it was also to force Gu Yuanqing to comply.

Now, the forces of the Great Wei people killed by Gu Yuanqing seem to have disappeared as well, which makes it impossible for him not to take this seriously.

Although with the main body's strength, losing some clones wouldn't have much of an impact, but if it were too many, it might not be so.

The more losses one suffers, the further one is from the realm of a god-king.

Or rather, it's not just a matter of power, but that every person in the Great Wei Divine Dynasty has lived for millions of years under the power of the Rebirth Realm. Even though most people reincarnate every month in a state of confusion, all those years of experience and insights, if they were to reclaim their original bodies and refine and comprehend them, would greatly benefit their cultivation.

In a sense, the memories within the retrieved clone are far more important than the power itself!

Gu Yuanqing was also looking at Wei Wuji, or rather, his attention was more focused on the treasure mirror that had appeared.

Although he understood that this was not the true form of the Mirror of Rebirth, just from that brief contact, he knew that it was not to be taken lightly and was a true threat to him.

However, he also did not want to give up like this.

Retreat signifies fear, and it's highly likely that these powerful cultivators from the ancient realm will press forward even more relentlessly.

There's an old saying that goes, "A single punch can save you from a hundred more."

Since he had decided to take action against the Ancient Realm, he had already prepared for a head-on confrontation.

While taking the opportunity to investigate the other party's background, one can also reveal one's own strength, making the other party wary and not dare to act recklessly.

Only in this way can one truly find peace.

Otherwise, they will inevitably face one test after another in the ancient realm.

Three thousand miles apart, one person and one mirror, their gazes met, and the atmosphere grew increasingly heavy and oppressive.

The entire universe changes because of the conflict between the two forces.

For thousands of miles around, dark clouds covered the sky and a strong wind was blowing.

All the birds and beasts were so frightened that they fell silent.

The entire world seemed to be filled only with the sounds of wind and rain.

"I thought that Heaven and Earth had the virtue of cherishing life, so I gave you a way to live. Since you are so stubborn, then I have no choice but to send you on your way!"

Wei Wuji spoke indifferently.

As they spoke, Gu Yuanqing suddenly saw the imperial palace and Wei Wuji's figure in the mirror gradually blurring and eventually disappearing into mist, which then began to change again.

The next moment, the precious mirror seemed to completely transform into a mirror, reflecting itself in it.

Suddenly, the scene in the mirror seemed to change from reality.

Wei Wuji's figure suddenly appeared next to his own reflection in the mirror, and he slashed his sword down towards his own head.

Gu Yuanqing's pupils suddenly shrank, and his figure disappeared from the spot, reappearing thousands of miles away.

Then he seemed to feel a slight coolness on his neck, followed by a fleeting sting.

He raised his hand and touched his neck. There was no wound. However, when he looked inward at the Dao body reflected in the world of the Taixu Creation Heavenly Wheel Bell transformed by the Creation True Talisman, he could see that there was another wound on the Dao body's neck.

This injury almost severed the entire neck.

Looking at the mirror again, I noticed that even though its direction had changed, it still reflected my image.

Wei Wuji stood beside his reflection in the mirror, smiling indifferently, and said, "No matter how fast you are, how can you outrun light? As long as you are still in the Ancient Realm, you cannot escape the Mirror of Rebirth. So, either quit or die!"

As he spoke, Wei Wuji struck down with his sword once more.

Gu Yuanqing used the spatial technique again, instantly traveling a thousand miles, but even so, he still felt a chill on his back.

Although the wounds on his body were reflected on the Dao body of the Taixu Creation Heavenly Wheel, his clothes were already torn.

The physical bodies and clothing of the ancient world are all based on the rules of the ancient world and modeled after the present world. Gu Yuanqing's Dao body can take the damage in place of the physical body of the ancient world, but it does not include clothing.

Looking at the huge mirror again, he found that Wei Wuji was still beside him in his own reflection.

His soft voice seemed to ring directly in my ears: "Your spatial arts are truly astonishing. Despite being a demigod, you possess strength approaching that of a celestial being. Your creation arts are indeed profound. No wonder even Zhao'er couldn't do anything to you and was forced to hide in the Gui Cang Palace."

However, if you think that with these abilities you can run rampant in the ancient realm, then you are simply delusional.

As the Heavenly Realm descended upon Gu Yuanqing, with a thought, he activated all his protective techniques, including the Myriad Manifestations Sword Array for Tribulation Control and the Demon Refining and Immortal Ascension Tower.

At the same time, he formed a sword incantation, and a white-gold sword aura slashed towards the location where Wei Wuji was in the stillness.

The reflection of oneself in the mirror is also like this.

The sword energy swept across, but landed in empty space. Wei Wuji in the mirror simply stood there calmly, and said with a hint of sarcasm, "If you think you can hurt me and break the power of the Rebirth Mirror like this, then you are underestimating the power of a superior rule artifact."

"Gu Yuanqing, don't waste your energy, it's useless."

He struck out with one hand and one palm.

Gu Yuanqing used the Great Yi Illusionary Heaven Step, and his body suddenly transformed into countless forms.

Now, each of his avatars looks exactly like the real one, even their auras are the same. They can be real or illusory, all depending on Gu Yuanqing's thoughts. His true body is hidden within them.

The next moment, he felt as if he had been struck on the back, his entire body trembled, and even the celestial world trembled. On his Dao body, which was reflected by the Dao of Creation, the energy of life and death surged continuously.

Looking again in the mirror, he discovered that next to each of the illusory clones was a Wei Wuji.

He sneered, "You've got plenty of tricks up your sleeve, but why should I bother to verify your true identity?"

Gu Yuanqing frowned slightly and kept trying to find a way to escape the capture of the Mirror of Rebirth, no matter how he changed his position.

No matter how fast one is, whenever one appears and looks at the Mirror of Rebirth, it seems that the mirror is already facing one.

Just like when I saw the Heaven and Earth Stele that fell in the Qian Yuan Realm back then, no matter where I was, I could only see its front side.

Wei Wuji continued to use words to manipulate people's minds, but deep in his eyes, he secretly harbored fear.

Because even now, Gu Yuanqing has not yet shown any real injuries!
Although he guessed that Gu Yuanqing was using the Dao of Creation, he did not know how Gu Yuanqing used the Dao of Creation to neutralize his attack.

The power of the Mirror of Rebirth is indeed unparalleled in the ancient realm, but the amount he can utilize is limited.

Firstly, because the Mirror of Rebirth already suppressed the Demon Lord's soul, preventing him from truly unleashing its power.

Secondly, his own authority and the power he could mobilize were inherently limited.

Gu Yuanqing was far more troublesome than he had originally anticipated!

Although this was his first encounter with Gu Yuanqing, he learned from various sources that Gu Yuanqing was always cautious and that he had never heard of his true self leaving the Qian Yuan Realm. Therefore, the one who entered the ancient realm should only be an avatar.

Gu Yuanqing also found the Mirror of Rebirth somewhat troublesome.

"Since we can't avoid it, let's use offense as our defense!"

He formed a hand seal, raised his hand, and with a single palm strike, a majestic mountain descended upon the mirror.

But the next moment, Gu Yuanqing's pupils shrank slightly, and Beiquan Zhen Shiyin actually passed right by the mirror, as if the mirror was just an illusory image.

"No, this must be the power of the Mirror of Rebirth pulling that space into another dimensional plane. Under its protection, Zhou Wei has also become like this!" Gu Yuanqing thought to himself.

Zhou Wei felt this strange power. He even raised his hand to feel the scene of the power that had been enough to kill him passing by him.

The power of the Mirror of Rebirth, a supreme artifact of rules, is truly captivating.

Wei Wuji only had a slight grasp of the situation, yet he left Gu Yuanqing helpless.

This is far beyond what the Destiny-Tracing Sword he controls can compare to.

Although the Way of Cause and Effect is also a top-level Great Dao, the Sword of Destiny is merely a lower-level rule artifact.

However... the Mirror of Rebirth is ultimately in the hands of the original body, so he has no right to think too much about it.

Wei Wuji laughed loudly: "Gu Yuanqing, there's no need to waste your energy. Within the Ancient Realm, no power can contend with the Mirror of Rebirth."

Gu Yuanqing remained unmoved and continued to test the waters with his moves.

He was proficient in all things, including the principles of life and death and cause and effect.

The Mirror of Rebirth is indeed powerful; perhaps its power dominates in the ancient realm. But he couldn't believe that he couldn't even touch it.

If that's the case, then future strategies will have to be completely changed.

After all, Wei Wuji's true form should still be inside the Great Wei Dynasty's imperial palace. Right now, it's just that his power has come from afar. If even this can't be resolved, then there's no need to think about anything else. Just focus on protecting your own Qian Yuan Realm.

Of course, Gu Yuanqing was not flustered. With the Heavenly Fishing Technique as his guide, he could retreat at any time.

As the two continued to clash, Gu Yuanqing felt that the injuries to the Dao Body condensed by the Dao of Creation were becoming increasingly severe, and he feared that it would completely dissipate at any moment, at which point all the injuries would fall on him.

Gu Yuanqing unleashed all his techniques, including the Myriad Manifestations Sword of Calamity Control, the Great Five Elements Divine Thunder, the Palm of Returning to the Void of Myriad Paths, the Formless Calamity Finger, the True Fire of the Dao Source, spatial magic, the Demon Refining Tower, and so on.

However, it seems that no one can truly touch this mirror, as if what is here is just an illusion.

"No, something's definitely wrong! There must be something wrong with it!"

"If Wei Wuji is really that powerful, why would he need to say anything more to me?"

"There must be something I've overlooked."

His eyes, like piercing heavenly pupils, opened wide, observing every subtle change.

Below the boundary.

The illusory image of the Northern Spring Realm also enveloped an area of ​​thousands of miles, and divine senses also sensed all of this.

Even though that space was reduced to nothingness and chaos by his attack, he could never seem to touch the Mirror of Rebirth.

Gu Yuanqing's gaze darkened. He looked down at the struggling spirits and surviving cultivators in Tiansheng City and raised his hand in a gesture of apprehension.

"Since I can't run into you, I'll just collect the ones I can."

First, the entire town of Beiquan and Shiyin, spanning thousands of miles, was destroyed; then, sword energy poured down like rain.

These surviving spirits and cultivators vanished silently in the sword light, turning into nothingness.

Gu Yuanqing raised his hand and grabbed, causing the illusory image of the Northern Spring Realm to shrink, along with all the power of these ancient cultivators after their deaths converging into Gu Yuanqing's hand.

A ball of power, interwoven with gray and black, appeared in Gu Yuan's palm. As the energy gathered, the light grew stronger and stronger, and the space there was collapsing under the immense power.

Tiansheng City is a major city with a large population and many experts. In addition, the power left behind by Feng Yue and the people he brought after their deaths is quite enormous!
Wei Wuji's expression changed drastically in the mirror. He finally knew what had happened before and guessed what Gu Yuanqing was going to do.

He roared, "Gu Yuanqing, how dare you!"

He clasped his hands together, and the light of the Rebirth Mirror surged, sending a gray-white beam of light hurtling towards Gu Yuanqing.

Gu Yuanqing felt a strong sense of alarm, knowing that this attack was completely different from the previous ones. If he were to be hit, this clone would likely suffer severe damage.

He combined the Dao of Space with the Great Yi Illusionary Heaven Step, his figure constantly dodging. Under the gray-white pillar of light, even the illusory image of the boundary was constantly shattered. This was the impact of the Great Dao of Life and Death on the other myriad Daos.

At this moment, Gu Yuanqing did not look at the location of the mirror, but instead looked up at the sky.

"So this is the real you!"

Above the gale layer in the ancient sky, a mirror image hid under the sun, perfectly concealing its presence with the sun's light, and then using the residual power of the rebirth banner to mislead Gu Yuanqing's judgment!
