Building a sect from scratch.

Chapter 188 Dou Xuan Gong

As everyone exchanged bewildered glances, Bian Yuanzhi said, "The barrier... cough cough cough, my master and Senior Coral have already discussed the barrier!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

"That's fine, that's fine..."

"But will the mermaid brother break the barrier?"

"Oh no, we didn't tell him where the boundary of the barrier is!"

Jia Xiaoren couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "It's all Old Zhen's fault! He's more trouble than he's worth!"

Just as everyone was filled with worry, a giant fish tail, carrying a powerful, light blue spiritual energy whose color was discernible, slammed into the air. Then, as if a transparent membrane had shattered, the sound of the waterfall seemed to grow louder.

Jun Chou, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up to explain: "One force can overcome ten techniques. This Quan Xian's cultivation is quite good, so there's no need for any special methods. He can just break through with his spiritual power."

Seeing the barrier shatter, Coral looked concerned and immediately asked, "Are you all alright?"

Bai Chenxue hurriedly said, "It's alright, it's alright! We're all fine! Thanks to you! Otherwise, we would have had to commit suicide to go back and then run back to find a solution!"

Lin Muning noticed that Bian Yuanzhi's expression was a bit off and said, "Bian Yuanzhi seems to be injured, right?"

"What the hell!?"

Finally recovering, Zhen Junzi scrambled to Bian Yuanzhi's side and asked guiltily, "What happened? Where are you hurt?"

Seeing everyone focusing on him, Bian Yuanzhi subconsciously took two steps back: "I'm fine, I just tripped and fell..."

"Let me see!"

Zhen Junzi pulled Bian Yuanzhi over and looked him over, only to find that the back of his clothes was torn, his entire back was covered with abrasions, and there was a large patch of blood seeping from his elbows.

Zhen Junzi hurriedly shouted to the others, "The medicine! Where's the medicine?! Where's the bone-breaking and muscle-regenerating powder?!"

Bai Chenxue casually pulled out a bottle and handed it over: "Here, I just happened to have some with me!"

Jia Xiaoren curled his lips: "Tsk, he would have fully recovered by now, but he's acting like he's in the ICU! Is it really necessary! He's a cultivator, after all. When I was a kid, I used to fall and get bruised and swollen every day, but I never saw this!"

These words made Bian Yuanzhi blush. Just as he was about to decline, saying that he didn't need such a precious medicine as the Bone-Breaking and Muscle-Regenerating Powder, he heard Zhen Junzi retort to Jia Xiaoren: "So that's why you've always been like this! Unloved by your grandmother and uncle! Ugly and sour!"

However, Jia Xiaoren didn't argue this time, but just snorted heavily and turned away, ignoring Zhen Junzi.

The effects of the bone-breaking and muscle-regenerating powder were immediate. This top-grade medicine, which could almost bring the dead back to life, was overkill for treating such abrasions and bumps. In the blink of an eye, the area where the medicine was applied was completely healed, without even leaving a scar.

After seeing that Bian Yuanzhi was alright, Shen Yun said, "Don't forget the mission. There's still a fragment of the Douxuan Treasure Mirror at the bottom of the water! Who among you is a good swimmer? Go down and look for it."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone turned to look at Coral.

Coral, however, showed a rare expression of surprise: "The Mysterious Mirror!?"

Bai Chenxue asked curiously, "Coral also knows about this?"

"Of course I know! That's one of the magical treasures forged by the ancient gods! It's recorded in our history! 'The divine mirror forged by Lord Douxuan Changjunchou is called the Douxuan Treasure Mirror, which can understand all things in heaven and earth!'" As he spoke, he asked excitedly, "But this thing has been lost for a long time! How did you know there was a fragment here!?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Chenxue casually pointed behind her.

"Here!"

The crowd blocking Jun Chou immediately dispersed to both sides, revealing Jun Chou, who had been hidden behind them.

Jun Chou looked at Shanhu, who was stunned and frozen in place, smiled kindly, and greeted her gently, "You are a Di person from the Xiling clan, right? You should be a descendant of Lei Zu? I didn't expect that thousands of years have passed in the blink of an eye..."

"Jun...Jun Chou!? No, no, no..."

Coral first murmured in disbelief, then tears streamed down her face as she cried out, "Kabuto... Kabuto Genko!? You! You're still alive!?"

Jun Chou looked at him with pity and said, "My name is Jun Chou, but I am not the Jun Chou you know. I am not Dou Xuan Gong, but the spirit of the 'Dou Xuan Treasure Mirror' he forged. You can consider me... the spirit of the artifact."

Bai Chenxue quietly asked in the group chat, "Shanhu seems really excited... Judging from what they're saying, is this Douxuan Gong the real Jun Chou? Is he an ancient god?"

Jia Xiaoren chimed in, "I don't know, I've never heard of it. You should ask Second Senior Sister, she might know something. Asking me is outside my area of ​​expertise... I'm not a data enthusiast or a plot enthusiast, I genuinely haven't paid attention to these game background details!"

Shen Yun guessed, "Could this 'Dou Xuan Gong' also be a mermaid? Otherwise, why would Coral be so bothered? And why is she so agitated?"

Bai Chenxue also said, "That's right! I feel that the Quanxian clan rarely gets emotional; they're usually expressionless! I've never seen Coral like this before!"

"You're not Lord Douxuan!?"

While everyone was speculating and discussing in the group chat, Coral questioned Jun Chou, saying, "But you look exactly like Lord Douxuan! Our Quanxian Royal City has many images of ancient gods, and I've seen your face before!"

"I am spirit, and can naturally transform into any form,"

As Jun Chou spoke, he transformed into a mermaid who looked exactly like Coral. Even the transparency of the scales on his tail was the same. Apart from the difference in expression, there was no difference at all!
Then, he transformed into Bai Chenxue, Shen Yun, and even a fox demon and a python demon, all with ease, and the speed of transformation became faster and faster.

He didn't stop until he had imitated all the players around him within a few dozen seconds, then he changed back to his previous appearance and said, "You see, I can become anyone. If I had to say, I actually don't have a form... The reason I've been keeping Jun Chou's appearance is probably... probably because he named me 'Jun Chou'..."

At this point, Junchou sighed softly.

After realizing that Jun Chou was not the real ancient god Dou Xuan Gong Jun Chou, Shanhu finally calmed down, and his expression returned to its usual expressionless state—except for the tear stains on his face, it seemed that he had just lost his composure.

But his tone still held a hint of expectation: "Then, is Lord Douxuan still alive?"

Jun Chou said apologetically, "I don't know."

"You don't know? But, isn't it said that the Mysterious Mirror of the Universe is all-knowing and understands everything in the world?"

Jun Chou explained, "Yes, that is the Douxuan Treasure Mirror. You can only get the answer by asking the mirror and making a deal with it. But I am just the spirit of the Douxuan Treasure Mirror, and I don't know."

“Precious Mirror… Yes, yes, yes! Ask the precious mirror! You just said there was a fragment at the bottom of the water, right?”

Seeing Bai Chenxue and the others nod, before anyone could say anything more, Shanhu turned around and jumped into the underground river with a splash.
