I get stronger every day I live.

Chapter 86: Asking the Immortal Mirror (3/5)

"Junior sister, go and complete the sect mission first. I will take you to see the sect master."

"Okay, Senior Brother, I'll go right away."

"Senior, please follow me. I will take you to see the Sect Master. The Sect Master already knew about our entry into the inner gate. He sent me a message asking me to take you to see him."

Hong Xuan turned to Lai Yang to explain.

Lai Yang nodded.

After a while, Hong Xuan brought Lai Yang to the Zongzhu Peak where Li Jingyuan lived.

Hong Xuan stopped in front of Li Jingyuan's residence, bowed respectfully and shouted, "Disciple Hong Xuan, the person has been brought here."

"Well, Fellow Daoist Lai, please come in. Hong Xuan, you have done a great job on this sect mission. I have asked someone to double your contribution for this mission. Go back and practice well." Li Jingyuan's deep voice came out.

Hearing this, Hong Xuan's face lit up with joy, and he bowed respectfully: "Disciple Hong Xuan, on behalf of Junior Sister Yao Qiaoqiao, I would like to thank the Sect Master. Disciple will take his leave."

Hong Xuan turned around and glanced at Lai Yang, then said, "Senior, I'll take my leave now. If you need anything, you can always come to Cangjian Peak to find me."

"Well, thank you for your help along the way." Lai Yang nodded.

"You're too polite, senior. This is what I should do." Hong Xuan smiled, then turned around and quickly left the Sect Master Peak.

"Fellow Daoist, please come into my residence and have a chat."

At this moment, Li Jingyuan's voice was heard.

The door in front of him slowly opened, as if inviting Lai Yang to enter.

Lai Yang did not hesitate. Since he was already here, there was no reason for him to shrink back.

Lai Yang entered Li Jingyuan's mansion, and soon he saw the familiar figure in the main hall of the mansion.

Li Jingyuan looked at Lai Yang with a deep gaze, a gentle and welcoming smile on his face. He raised his hand and said, "Fellow Daoist, this is the first time we meet. Let me introduce myself. I am the leader of the Lingtian Sect, Li Jingyuan. The last time I spoke to you in the Mowu Dynasty, it was a clone of my spiritual consciousness."

"Nice to meet you, Fellow Daoist Li. I'm Lai Yang from the Mowu Dynasty." Lai Yang nodded and bowed in response.

"You are welcome, fellow Daoist. It is truly a great honor to meet you here today. Please take a seat."

Li Jingyuan gestured to the seat next to him. On the table were several fruits and spiritual wine emitting rich spiritual energy.

Seeing this scene, Lai Yang understood that this was something the other party had deliberately prepared for him, so he did not hesitate to take a seat.

"Fellow Daoist, please try this spiritual fruit and spiritual wine to see how it tastes." Li Jingyuan said politely.

Lai Yang took a bite of the fruit that exuded rich spiritual energy, and then drank a sip of spiritual wine. Suddenly, he felt a strong spiritual energy rushing into his body, penetrating into his limbs and bones and disappearing.

"Good stuff, delicious." Lai Yang said sincerely without saying any polite words.

"Haha, Brother Lai is truly a man of temperament." Li Jingyuan smiled faintly.

"I hope I won't disturb Fellow Daoist Li by visiting him today."

"What are you talking about? If you come to visit my Lingtian Sect, I welcome you anytime."

Li Jingyuan smiled and tentatively asked, "Fellow Daoist, have you thought it through? Would you like to join my Lingtian Sect and become a dedicated elder?"

"Before that, I have something I want to ask Fellow Daoist Li." Lai Yang turned to look at Li Jingyuan and said seriously.

"Oh? You can tell me what you want, fellow Taoist."

Lai Yang clasped his hands together and then briefly explained why he came to Lingtian Sect so quickly.

When Li Jingyuan heard that Mo Ruyan tore up the talisman and disappeared in the Mowu Dynasty, his expression froze slightly.

How could there be advanced teleportation talismans in a place like the Mowu Dynasty? Could it be because of that incident?
Seeing Li Jingyuan's thoughtful expression, Lai Yang couldn't help but ask, "Fellow Daoist Li, do you know anything about that teleportation talisman?"

"It's nothing worth hiding, so I'll tell you, fellow Taoist." "Hundreds of years ago, a demon descended upon this world."

"That demon's power is terrifying. It feeds on living beings, whether they are humans or monsters, and their life essence will be forcibly sucked away."

"The demon continuously absorbed the essence of life, and his strength continued to grow. By the time we reacted, in just a few years, he had already possessed the power of the peak of the Divine Transformation Realm."

"To stop the demon from becoming more dangerous and causing great suffering."

"I have decided to join forces with a dozen fellow Daoists in the Spiritual Transformation Realm to surround and kill him in the Cloud Rift Mountains."

"Unexpectedly, that demon was extremely cunning. Even severely injured, he still had the strength to escape. We chased him across the Endless Sea for a long time, but unfortunately, he finally escaped."

"Several of our major sects joined forces and even invited a powerful being at the Hedao realm to help. We searched the area thoroughly, and at the same time, we secretly sent strong men to monitor the area for a hundred years. That demon has never appeared again."

"We all thought that the demon was dead, so we withdrew our men. After all, he was seriously injured at the time and had also suffered Dao injuries. He wouldn't have survived for much longer."

"The situation was very chaotic at the time. Perhaps someone accidentally left behind a high-level teleportation talisman, and your Taoist partner happened to find it and picked it up."

Li Jingyuan guessed.

Lai Yang pondered for a moment and nodded. "If it's really as you said, and there is indeed such a possibility, do you have any way to find my wife's whereabouts for me?"

"The world of immortal cultivation is so vast, and searching for one person is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

"However, if you sincerely wish to find your Taoist partner, I know a place that may be able to help you."

Li Jingyuan said hesitantly.

"Where?" Lai Yang looked at Li Jingyuan and asked in an urgent tone.

"Don't worry, my friend. Let me tell you what I have to say."

Li Jingyuan comforted Lai Yang, then took a sip of the spirit wine and spoke slowly.

"There is a force in Shangxianmen called the Questioning Immortal Sect."

"The Wenxian Sect has a treasure that is the most precious to the sect, and it is called the Wenxian Mirror."

"Ask the Immortal Mirror to glimpse the secrets of heaven, predict good and bad luck, and change your destiny."

"If you can borrow the Immortal Mirror, you might be able to find out the whereabouts of my Taoist companion."

"But the Wenxian Mirror is the Wenxian Sect's most precious treasure. It is the foundation of the Wenxian Sect. Apart from the Sect Master, no one is qualified to approach the Wenxian Mirror."

"So far, there has never been a precedent for anyone successfully borrowing the Wenxian Mirror from the Wenxian Sect. There have been many powerful people who, relying on their powerful cultivation, have tried to forcibly snatch the Wenxian Mirror away, but as far as I know, none of those people have been able to leave the Wenxian Sect alive."

"The power behind the Wenxian Sect is unfathomable. Perhaps they are hiding several ancestors in the Tribulation Realm, making them the top force on this continent."

Li Jingyuan's words undoubtedly poured a bucket of cold water on Lai Yang's head, as if to persuade him to give up his unrealistic ideas.

After hearing what he said, Lai Yang really couldn't come directly to borrow the Questioning Immortal Mirror.

Practicing Qi, building foundation, forming elixir, forming Nascent Soul, transforming into spirit, merging with Dao, and overcoming tribulation.

With his current strength, he might not have a chance of winning against a strong man in the Hedao realm, let alone an old monster who is in a higher realm than the Hedao realm.

I'm afraid that if we really face each other, I won't even have a chance to escape and will be crushed to death by the other party with just one finger.

"Fellow Daoist, don't be too sad. As cultivators of our generation, we don't have to worry about not finding a Daoist companion, especially one as talented as you."

"Fellow Daoist, you are such a genius. If you were to neglect your cultivation due to your obsession with love, wouldn't that be a shame?"

"If you need it, I can arrange for several beautiful women to take turns serving you tonight. I will definitely satisfy you."
