Chapter 357 The Rebirth of the Mirror, Voyage to the Spirit Realm

The crimson alchemical flames pulsed wildly, and Xiao Yun's movements grew faster and faster.

Every second, countless rare materials are thrown into the [Mirror], forcibly fused together by the flames, and then connected by the rune loops constructed from ash.

At the beginning of the transformation, Xiao Yun still retained some rationality.

But as the process progressed, Xiao Yun found himself unable to stop.

As a cutting-edge technological creation from the Land of No Worries, the [Mirror] has an ingenious structure that is astonishing, yet it possesses almost limitless potential for transformation.

It seems that from the very beginning, its designers anticipated that it would face countless modifications and upgrades in the future.

Realizing this, Xiao Yun did not hesitate and went all out.

Abyss Vortex Engine, Magic Signal Tower, Virtual Mirror Core, 300-link Alchemy Array, Bio-Prism Armor, Life Shield, 1000mm Caliber Death Cannon, Mana Burst Machine Gun —

Xiao Yun combined his understanding of alchemy, all the abilities he possessed, the materials he had in stock, and all sorts of ingenious ideas into one!

After working for two whole days and nights, Xiao Yun had used up 80% of the ransom money from Owen and the others, and was exhausted himself, but finally completed the modification of the [Mirror].

It is 179 meters long and 87 meters wide. The part above the sea surface is almost five stories high. Even the deep-sea whale and Klatu could not lift it out of the sea.

This is no longer a simple alchemy workshop, but a true mobile fortress.

It integrates alchemy research, information detection and counter-detection, self-defense capabilities, strategic strike capabilities, environmental adaptability, and spirit world navigation capabilities, making it an all-around mobile maritime base.

Looking at the mirror now, Xiao Yun's pale and tired face broke into a satisfied smile: "So beautiful—"

"Where is the beauty?"

Jing Feiwan appeared beside him at some point, her pretty face icy cold.

Suppressing her anger, she raised her trembling hand, pointed at the enormous pile of garbage before her, and asked, "After all this time, this is the thing you've created?!"

Writhing flesh and blood enveloped various buildings, forming an outline resembling a ferocious behemoth.

The beast's skin was covered with a dense array of alchemical crystals that would trigger trypophobia, resembling a series of tightly packed blood vessels.

The constantly distorting mirror surface, like broken scales, covered the surface and reflected an eerie light.

And those tentacles extending from above, and at the very front, that gaping maw of the abyss—

Jing Feiwan felt like her head was about to explode, partly because she felt uncomfortable looking at the current [Mirror], and partly because she was angry at Xiao Yun.

"You bastard, give me back my elegant and beautiful mirror!"

Jing Feiwan pressed Xiao Yun's head down and shouted in his ear.

"Ahem, it's not bad now either. Look, elegant, majestic, mysterious, and domineering—"

Xiao Yun tried to argue, but feeling Jing Feiwan's increasingly cold gaze, his voice grew softer and softer.

Finally, he gave a wry smile and raised his hands in surrender: "Okay, okay, I admit, the appearance is indeed a tiny bit different from what I expected."

Xiao Yunrang smiled and extended his index finger and thumb, making a gap that looked less than a millimeter wide but was actually wider than the Milky Way.

As it was Xiao Yun's first time handling such a large project on his own, he did not grasp the appropriate scale during the renovation process.

They added too much water to the flour, and too much flour to the water. In the end, they became so desperate that they forgot all about it and added as much stuff as they could without any regard for the consequences.

If that were all, it would be fine; it would just take a little more time to debug and integrate.

But after adding the ingredients, Xiao Yun suddenly realized that he seemed to have a slight imbalance in his studies.

After initially learning the basics of alchemy from Jiang Shangzhen, he continued to grow rapidly, dabbling in various fields.

However, after the Alchemist subclass was opened in the Court of Eternal Feast, his expertise in alchemy has always focused on mana manipulation and the construction of flesh and blood.

Although he has a solid foundation in his main profession and is not bad at integrating creation and alchemy, he still finds it difficult to perfectly integrate the new structure on the [Mirror] in a short period of time.

Left with no other choice, Xiao Yun had to settle for second best and use his most familiar flesh-and-blood alchemy to forcibly integrate the various new structures into a single whole.

"I admit that this is not in line with popular aesthetics, but in terms of practicality, this state is still better than pure alchemical engineering, and the various structures are also more flexible."

Xiao Yun was not making excuses.

Flesh and blood alchemy possesses a flexibility and adaptability that surpasses that of purely mechanical alchemy structures.

In particular, the flesh and blood also incorporated the power of Xiao Yun's second professional talent, Gluttony, which gave the [Mirror] the ability to autonomously devour the surrounding energy and matter to recharge, repair, and upgrade.

Even so, Jing Feiwan still refused to buy it.

"This is really too weird. If we drive this thing to other seaports, people will think it's some kind of monster attacking us."

Seeing that Xiao Yun was still trying to argue, Jing Feiwan issued an ultimatum: "I don't care, you have to find a way to turn the [Mirror] back to normal."

"Or you can drive this thing back to your ideal world by yourself, and I'll just wander off on my own."

After saying that, she picked up Momo and returned to the decent-looking residential area.

Boom!

The heavy slam of the door echoed, and the gaping maw of the abyss ahead of the ship grimaced in pain.

Xiao Yun shook his head and smiled bitterly, but there was nothing he could do.

"At my current level, it's going to be difficult to fix this thing. I'll have to go back to my teacher for help, or become a legendary alchemist."

Xiao Yun shook his head, put the matter aside, and turned to wave to the others.

"Let's go, get on the boat, or we'll miss the spiritual storm."

Eric, Kong Changhao, and the rebellious son all nodded and quickly boarded the [Mirror].

They were already used to Xiao Yun's occasionally odd art style, and they didn't think the current [Mirror] was ugly.

The ship is huge, the cannons are massive, and it even has living armor and a gaping maw—it's incredibly cool!

Therefore, as soon as they boarded the ship, the two men and the dog began to familiarize themselves with the new functions and even started vying for control of the main gun.

No man can resist the romance of a 1000mm super-giant cannon.

However, the beast-eared girls showed little resistance, hiding in the cabin like Jing Feiwan and refusing to come out.

"Another bunch of people who don't know how to appreciate things —"

Xiao Yun sighed softly, leaped to the bow of the ship, sat above the gaping maw of the abyss, and tapped the hull with his sword.

"Let's go, let's set off."

"ha!"

The abyss's gaping maw let out an excited roar, swallowing the surrounding seawater and magical power.

Within its core, the illusory mirror core, imbued with the power of illusion and reality, beats like a heart, swallowing debris from its enormous maw and transforming it into pure energy, which is then pumped into the engine through a rune loop as thick as a person's waist.

The engine roared, and a terrifying vortex surged, propelling the massive body of the [Mirror] forward at breakneck speed.

The wind whistled in my ears, and the waves and the sunlight were left behind, turning into endless afterimages.

A smile involuntarily crept onto Xiao Yun's lips, and the two people and the dog behind him cheered in unison, "Wow! So fast, so exciting!"

【Mirror】is like a great fortune, rampaging across the sea, its terrifying power causing even the most powerful monsters along the way to retreat in fear.

Soon, a terrifying spiritual storm was imminent.

Xiao Yun remained expressionless and tapped the hull of the boat again.

The core pulses, and energy, transformed from the intangible into the tangible, becomes life force, spreading out through a series of pathways.

On the ship's hull, a dense array of runes slowly lit up, and flying tentacles intertwined and entangled, extending the rune array outwards, eventually transforming into a shield that covered the entire ship.

[Mirror], having erected a shield, plunged headlong into the storm.

Waves over ten meters high crashed down, and lightning converging with spiritual energy struck down. Cracks leading to the spirit world appeared everywhere in the air and sea, like hidden reefs.

The mirror remained unmoved, shattering waves and thunder, and rolling over cracks.

"Not bad, not bad."

Xiao Yun nodded repeatedly, then said with a hint of melancholy, "However, it seems difficult to be drawn into the spirit world in this way—"

After thinking for a moment, he turned to Kong Changhao and the others and shouted, "One of you, operate the main cannon, and the other, operate the magic signal tower."

Kong Changhao and Eric nodded and went their separate ways.

Soon, the main cannon emerged from the abyss's gaping maw, while at the bow, a spire slowly rose from the flesh and blood, gleaming brightly.

Buzz—

The magic signal tower emitted an invisible energy wave, shooting towards the space directly in front.

Ripples spread through the space, shaking like a canvas.

next second.

boom!

The main cannon roared, and a gray-black beam of light shot out, tearing the canvas to shreds.

A massive rift in the spirit realm appeared directly in front of them, and [Mirror] plunged into it.
