From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 520 The Eight Gods' Teleportation Device of the Hall of Morroboshi
"Cousin, watch out!"

He called her "cousin," grabbed Fang Qingxue's soft little hand, and pulled her behind him. His expression was very serious, as if he wanted to protect Fang Qingxue behind him.

Poor Fang Qingxue had never encountered such a thing before. Her little hand was grabbed, and she was immediately flustered and annoyed. Just as she was about to pull her hand away, she was confused by Li Chengqian's actions and expressions, and hesitated for a moment.

In that moment of hesitation, an even more violent spatial turbulence surged forth, seemingly forming a brief vortex that completely engulfed the two of them!

The world spins and the world is filled with bizarre and wonderful sights.

The two seemed to have been thrown into a rapidly spinning kaleidoscope, surrounded by shattered colors and distorted light and shadow. Immense pressure pressed in from all directions. Li Chengqian gripped Fang Qingxue's wrist tightly, and their bodies were squeezed together...

I do not know how long it has been……

boom!
A heavy feeling of falling came over me, accompanied by excruciating pain as if my whole body was falling apart.

The terrifying spatial tearing force and bizarre scenery around them suddenly disappeared, replaced by an eerie calm.

Li Chengqian struggled to open his eyes, coughing up several mouthfuls of blood. He found himself lying on a cold ground that emitted a faint, shimmering white light. He was still tightly gripping Fang Qingxue's wrist, while Fang Qingxue lay not far beside him, seemingly just recovering from her dizziness.

"I knew it would be like this!"

Li Chengqian released Fang Qingxue's soft hand and asked with concern, "Cousin, are you alright?"

"It's alright!" Feeling Li Chengqian loosen his grip, Fang Qingxue breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's just that the spatial fluctuations were too sudden... Where are we?"

where?

Li Chengqian smiled wryly; he didn't know either!

"As expected... following someone with great fortune, although I was almost torn apart by the spatial turbulence, my final destination was indeed different. Could this be considered... a blessing in disguise?"

"But he said, 'This place should have nothing to do with the subterranean demons. It has been said in the various worlds that there are many hidden caves and opportunities in the world. Many disciples go out to explore after they have achieved success in their cultivation. This is called encountering a chance to become an immortal. Could we have encountered a chance to become an immortal this time as well?'"

“This…” Fang Qingxue regained her cold expression and looked around. It seemed to be a huge, enclosed underground space.

There was no demonic energy, no smell of sulfur; instead, the air was exceptionally fresh, even carrying a faint, indescribable fragrance. Above, instead of rock, was a hazy, flowing, milky-white halo, its soft light illuminating the entire space.

Beneath their feet lay a smooth, mirror-like white jade floor, inscribed with countless ancient, complex, and meaningless runes. In the distance, one could vaguely see some broken, neither-gold-nor-stone, massive pillars and collapsed architectural ruins, decaying and withered.

“I have never seen these stones before. They are neither gold nor jade, yet they have remained intact for thousands of years. The patterns remaining on them faintly correspond to the stars in the sky, which is extremely mysterious. It seems that we have really struck gold and stumbled into an ancient ruin.”

“This should be the ruins of a grand hall. I’ll go explore first. You stay here and see how we can get out.” Li Chengqian stood up. With the blessing of the Taiyin Refining Technique, the injuries he suffered when he was trapped here had been healed.

“I’ll go too,” Fang Qingxue said, standing up. “My injuries are almost healed.”

"Alright!"

Fang Qingxue is no weak woman; this guy is practically the female lead. Taking him along might lead to some unexpected discoveries.

The two carefully made their way deeper into the ruins along the broken main road paved with jade. All they saw along the way was desolation; the huge palaces had collapsed, leaving only the foundations and a few towering pillars, which were carved with patterns of the sun, moon, stars, gods and demons fighting, and ancient people's sacrifices, all in a simple and desolate style.

“This seems to be an ancient sect that is based on the power of stars.” Li Chengqian observed the patterns on the pillar. “Its lineage is probably extremely ancient, even before the founding of the Feathered Ascension Sect.”

Suddenly, Fang Qingxue stopped in her tracks and grabbed Li Chengqian abruptly, "Watch out!"

Li Chengqian's figure immediately stopped. He saw several almost transparent ripples flash across the seemingly ordinary jade ground in front of him, emitting an extremely faint spatial cutting aura.

"The remaining defensive restrictions, though only a fraction of their original power, would still be enough to give me a hard time if triggered." Li Chengqian was still shaken. He didn't have any cheat codes in this world. Although the Taiyin Refining Technique gave him physical strength and power far exceeding that of the Physical Body Realm, he probably still wouldn't be able to withstand such a restriction if he really ran into it.

However, the restriction was already broken and full of flaws. After observing it for a while, the two did not try to break the restriction. Instead, they bypassed the restriction and their eyes were immediately drawn to a relatively intact side hall.

The palace doors were long since broken, and the interior was a mess, but in the center stood a perfectly intact jade platform. Several items were placed on the platform, emitting a faint glow. The two men perked up and quickly stepped forward.

There are four items on the jade platform: an ancient, dark gold ring; a palm-sized bronze mirror with some damage to its edges; a small banner about a foot long that seems to be formed from starlight; and a dark jade slip covered in thick dust.

"A magic weapon! And a jade slip for inheritance!"

Li Chengqian's gaze swept across the area, finally settling on the ancient bronze mirror. He sensed a faint, extremely weak resonance between the object and himself. Was it the Taiyin Refining Technique?

His brows furrowed slightly. The Taiyin Refining Technique was not a cultivation method of this world, so how could it resonate with the things here?

However, he didn't show anything unusual, and the two walked forward.

Before he had taken more than a few steps, a faint starlight began to flicker on the ancient bronze mirror. Before Li Chengqian could react, it transformed into a murky stream of light and shot into the space between Li Chengqian's eyebrows.

“This…” Li Chengqian’s expression changed, a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes, but after a few seconds, he regained his composure.

"Cousin, are you alright?!"

The sudden turn of events startled Fang Qingxue, but she did not act rashly. Only after seeing the clarity return to Li Chengqian's eyes did she ask.

"It's nothing, just a fortuitous encounter," Li Chengqian said with a wry smile. "What a pity..."

"What's a pity?"

"It's a Dao artifact, but unfortunately it's too badly damaged. The artifact spirit is already asleep, so I can only get some basic information."

Dao artifact?

Even Fang Qingxue was moved.

The magical artifacts of this world are categorized into magical implements, spiritual artifacts, treasure artifacts, Dao artifacts, immortal artifacts, divine artifacts...

In the mortal realm, Dao artifacts represent the pinnacle of power; even a few immortal artifacts cannot unleash their full potential.

This mirror is actually a Dao artifact!
Involuntarily, she thought of the Heavenly Emperor Mirror of Feng Baiyu, the leader of the Feathered Ascension Sect.

However, that's all. Fang Qingxue is aloof and has great opportunities. Although a Dao artifact is good, it's not something she would covet.

"Although the Azure Mirror is a Dao artifact, I can only use two functions right now. One is to create a mirror space, similar to a storage ring, and the other is to illuminate a thousand miles. By using the power of the mirror, everything within a thousand miles can be seen in detail. Unfortunately, I can only see two or three miles at most right now. My strength is too weak."

"Two or three miles should be enough; it might help us leave here as soon as possible."

“This thing is destined for me, so I won’t stand on ceremony with you. I’ve already taken the biggest benefit, so you can have the rest,” Li Chengqian said, pointing to the three remaining items on the jade platform.

“Okay.” Fang Qingxue didn’t stand on ceremony. She stepped forward and took the other three treasures. When her fingers touched the jade slip, her expression changed slightly. After a while, she looked up and said, “Cousin, the cultivation technique in this inheritance jade slip is useful to both of us. After we leave, I will make a copy for you.”

"Okay! By the way, does the text mention what place this is?"

"This is a great sect from ancient times called the Hall of All Stars. However, it does not belong to the Xuanhuang Great World. Instead, it comes from a distant star field. It was destroyed due to an unknown calamity. This jade slip contains their inheritance, which includes eight sets of inherited divine abilities: [All Stars Great Power], [Star River Refining God Technique], [Star Orbit Binding God Curse], [Starlight Breaking Void Finger], [Starfall Descent], [Zhou Tian Star Shield Technique], [Star Shift Escape Technique], and [Heavenly Star Palm]. All of these are supreme divine abilities."

The first two are supreme divine abilities, while the others are great divine abilities similar to the eight great divine abilities of my Feathered Ascension Sect. We have gained a lot this time.”

Is there a way to leave?

"Of course not, but this space itself is already damaged. Cousin, you have the Azure Illuminating Mirror, so you should be able to see the passages in the space."

"Well, let me try!"
