I alone have my own laws; I start by fabricating myths and legends of mountains and seas.

Chapter 130 Mirror Image

【Mountain and Sea Realm (Group Chat)】

Ya Zi (Chen Yang): "Brothers! Something terrible has happened!"

Bai Ze (Su Fan): "What is it now?"

Silverfish (Jiang He): "Didn't you go to the seventy-eighth island? What's going on?!"

Qinglian (Kong Shizhang): "Yeah! Brother Chen, what's going on!"

Ya Zi (Chen Yang): "It's because I went to the seventy-eighth island, this floating island is called Bingzhong Island! What I'm talking about is related to this island!"

Bixi (Wang Jianguo): "What do you mean? Could it be that the price paid for Hyojong Island was too high?"

Zi (Chen Yang): "No! I encountered something on Bingzhong Island that you would never even imagine. Ya Zi! I saw Ya Zi again, I ran into Ya Zi, do you understand?"

Silverfish (Jiang He): "???"

Silverfish (Jiang He): "You mean you encountered Ya Zi again? You met Ya Zi again in the Mountain and Sea Realm?"

Ya Zi (Chen Yang): "Yes! He's on Bingjia Island, and his status seems similar to Yingzhao and Peng Hou. He said it himself: Bingjia Island is his duty; he has to guard it! His duty! Do you understand? Just like Yingzhao managing the Qingyu Island trials, and Peng Hou guarding the boundary gate! The inheritance we receive may very well come from these 'real masters' who guard the various islands!"

Ya Zi (Chen Yang): "He even scolded me! He complained that my progress was too slow. According to him, after we met, there was a major upheaval in the Mountain and Sea Realm, and he couldn't get away, so he didn't directly take care of me. He also later found an opportunity to pass on the basic methods of internal energy martial arts to me!"

Bookworm (Jiang He): "If we consider the Mountain and Sea Realm as a multi-level training ground or nurturing ground, then it's perfectly reasonable for each floating island with special functions to be guarded and managed by a corresponding divine beast or mythical being. The inheritance we received is likely a qualification or mark originating from these administrators. After all, do you remember that Luo Jiuchuan's attitude towards us was different from that of ordinary people who passed the trials? And isn't it normal to have a main body involved? We all saw that when we received the inheritance."

Qinglian (Kong Shizhang): "I am truly flattered, yet I also feel immense pressure. If I were to meet the true form of Qinglian one day, would I discuss the Dao, or would I kneel in worship?"

Qinglian (Kong Shizhang): "But there's still a small problem. You all obtained your inheritances by encountering these divine beasts in the Mountain and Sea Realm, but I received mine through Zhenwu's teachings, which directly guaranteed me entry into the Mountain and Sea Realm!"

Du Yu (Jiang He): "At this stage, information is insufficient, and over-interpreting is pointless. However, the issue raised by Kong Shizhang is crucial. He directly obtained the 'Azure Lotus' inheritance through Zhenwu's manifestation and by listening to the teachings on-site, thus gaining entry into the Mountain and Sea Realm. This at least illustrates two points: First, the method of granting inheritance is not limited to within the Mountain and Sea Realm; second, the existence of Zhenwu the Great may have authority or rank higher than, or at least different from, the divine beasts guarding the floating islands."

The group discussed the matter further, but ultimately came to no conclusion. Chen Yang then told them about the rules of Bingjia Island and some other information.

Silverfish (Jiang He): "Take one and get three back? Mother and child give birth to each other, endlessly. Shan Hai Jue is truly as greedy as ever. However, the presence of the Ya Zi deity guarding this place not only aligns with the legend of his fondness for war, but also subtly implies the idea of ​​'guarding the home' by suppressing the enemy."

Bizhi (Wang Jianguo): "Three more? And they have to be approved by this island? Where are we going to find those? Xiao Chen, this is no small price to pay, you need to think it through."

Ya Zi (Chen Yang): "Who cares! Anyway, it didn't say when I had to pay it back! At worst, I can just exchange for a few items on the Mountain and Sea Wonders List. Besides, to become an islander, I have to defeat the illusory image formed by the weapons first."

Qinglian (Kong Shizhang): "How's the quality of this illusory image?"

Ya Zi (Chen Yang): "They're all mirror images now! What's there to say? They're just as strong as you! They're exactly the same as you! Everyone, help me figure out how to beat myself!"

Bicheng (Wang Jianguo): "These rules are disgusting. Complete replication of strength, techniques, and internal energy levels? Wouldn't that make it unsolvable?!"

Bookworm (Jiang He): "Logically, an absolute copy would indeed result in a draw or an infinite loop within a closed system. However, the trials in the Mountain and Sea Realm should not have any absolutely unsolvable challenges. The breakthrough might lie in the fact that the replication of the mirror image may have time differences or scope limitations. For example, it may not be able to replicate the instantaneous insights gained in battle, and the behavior patterns of the mirror image may lack true on-the-spot adaptability and creativity."

Qinglian (Kong Shizhang): "The Tao Te Ching says: 'He who knows others is wise; he who knows himself is enlightened. He who overcomes others has strength; he who overcomes himself is mighty.' So this is the true meaning of the trials on Bingjia Island! Brother Chen, fight your own mind, fight your own body! Military strategists emphasize using orthodox methods to engage and unorthodox methods to win!"

Zi (Chen Yang): "I understand the theory, but the practice is a nightmare! The mirror image is too synchronized with my movements; it seems to know as soon as I try to change my move!"

Qinglian (Kong Shizhang): "Sun Tzu's Art of War says: 'Therefore, the skillful strategist brings the enemy to victory, not the other way around.' Brother Chen, you need to use unconventional tactics to confuse his mirror, and risky moves to lure his shadow. It may regain your form, but it cannot regain your spirit; it may know your moves, but it cannot predict your intentions!"

Qinglian (Kong Shizhang): "In plain terms: Don't play by the rules, just do whatever you want! After all, it's you, a mad dog's fist, just abandon the rules and do whatever you want!"

Su Fan quietly looked at the chat group, thinking that he would be able to pass through Wanxiang Island in a few days!

After all, the worlds beyond the gates of Wanxiang Island are all low-level martial arts worlds, so it's not difficult to pass through them if you push your internal energy martial arts to the extreme!

"Heavenly Dao! Control Xia Jie and bring him to China!" Su Fan said to Heavenly Dao.

"What's wrong?" Heaven's voice rang out!

"After all, Chen Yang is the most promising person to advance further in internal energy martial arts! Although some of the current achievements in internal energy martial arts were given to Chen Yang through Zi's words, it's not enough. By using Xia Jie's identity, we can give Chen Yang some knowledge of the Ghost Cultivation Extraordinary System! This can be considered as broadening his horizons! After all, even at the ninth level of martial arts, the internal energy martial arts system is only equivalent to a Ghost Soldier in the Ghost Cultivation Extraordinary System! Now the Ghost Cultivation Extraordinary System has already evolved to the level of Ghost General!"

"You didn't deduce the future path of internal energy martial arts! Since you're pinning your hopes on Chen Yang, giving him some benefits is only fair! It won't do him any harm to broaden his horizons!"

"Wouldn't this put too much pressure on Chen Yang and ruin him?" Tiandao said with some concern.

"Chen Yang's personality won't be defeated! If he were easily defeated, he wouldn't have challenged Luo Jiuchuan! Besides, he has the best chance; you should understand the terrifying nature of his talent from his innovative ideas!"
