Journey to the West: Deer Power Immortal, Starting from Becoming a Disciple of the Supreme Lord Tais

Lu Qingxuan stood in front of the Three Immortals Shrine for a long time, when suddenly something came to mind: the Demon-Revealing Mirror!

This mirror is a treasure of the Heavenly Court, capable of revealing the true forms of all demons and evil spirits. If we could borrow it, it would make investigating this matter much easier.

However, he had no connection with Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, so it would be inappropriate to go there rashly.

Should we go back to find the Dao Ancestor?

Just then, a streak of fire streaked across the sky. Lu Qingxuan looked closely and saw that it was Nezha.

Upon seeing Nezha, Lu Qingxuan smiled; it was truly a godsend.

Here comes the candidate to borrow the treasure.

The other person was also taken aback when he saw Lu Qingxuan, then laughed and said, "Hey, I was wondering who was wandering around here. It's you. What are you doing in this village instead of cultivating in Zhongnan Mountain?"

Without hesitation, Lu Qingxuan briefly recounted what had happened there, and also mentioned his desire to borrow the Demon-Revealing Mirror.

Upon hearing this, Nezha frowned slightly, and after sensing for a moment, he found no trace of aura.

"Strange, it seems you're in quite a bit of trouble," Nezha said in surprise.

Lu Qingxuan smiled wryly: "If it weren't for that, we wouldn't have needed to borrow that demon-revealing mirror."

"It's alright. Although the Demon-Revealing Mirror is a treasure of the Heavenly Court, it's in Father's hands. You can come with me to Heaven to borrow it. I'm sure Father won't refuse you, given your status." Nezha nodded.

If it were someone else, let alone borrowing it, they might not even be able to take a look at it.

But Lu Qingxuan is a disciple of the Dao Ancestor, so there's no problem for him.

After all, even someone as powerful as Li Tianwang has received many favors from the Tushita Palace.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingxuan felt relieved and cupped his hands, saying, "Then I will trouble the Third Prince."

Nezha waved his hand: "Don't be so polite, let's go to heaven."

Having said that, Nezha stopped talking and flew towards the Heavenly Court with Lu Qingxuan.

Two streaks of light, one after the other, pierced through layers of clouds and headed straight for the South Heavenly Gate.

The heavenly soldiers guarding the gate bowed to Nezha, then glanced at Lu Qingxuan behind him and stopped trying to stop him.

Nezha said, "My father should be at home today. Let's go directly there."

Soon, Lu Qingxuan arrived at the Heavenly King's Palace under Nezha's guidance.

In the study, Li Jing was sitting behind his desk reviewing official documents, with a delicate pagoda in front of him, its precious light shimmering.

Upon seeing Nezha enter, he raised an eyebrow slightly, and his gaze immediately fell on Lu Qingxuan.

"Father, this is the Azure Mystic Immortal Child from the Tushita Palace," Nezha introduced.

Li Jing stood up, cupped his hands and said, "I have long heard of the name of the Azure Profound Immortal Child, but I have never had the chance to meet him."

Lu Qingxuan quickly returned the greeting, saying, "Your Majesty is too kind. I have come here without asking for your help."

Li Jing asked the two to sit down, ordered tea to be served, and said, "Please speak, young immortal."

Lu Qingxuan did not hide anything and repeated what he had told Nezha earlier.

After listening, Li Jing nodded and said, "In that case, that person's methods are indeed quite formidable. But could it be that the immortal boy has come to borrow the demon-revealing mirror?"

Lu Qingxuan nodded: "That is so. If it is convenient for me to borrow the Demon-Revealing Mirror from the Heavenly King, I will return it to you in its original form once the matter is settled."

Li Jing pondered for a moment and glanced at Nezha.

Nezha said with a grin, "Father, they've already asked, so just lend it to them. Qingxuan Immortal Boy is a disciple of the Dao Ancestor, he won't steal your mirror."

Li Jing glared at him and said, "Don't be rude."

He turned to Lu Qingxuan, his expression softening, and said, "The Demon-Revealing Mirror is a supreme treasure of the Heavenly Court and is not easily lent out. However, since the Immortal Child is a disciple of the Dao Ancestor and has been working tirelessly to protect the people, I should grant his request."

As he spoke, he reached out and beckoned, and a bronze mirror flew out from the shelf behind the desk and landed in his hand.

The mirror was about the size of a palm, bronze in color, with intricate runes engraved on the back, and it shimmered faintly in the sunlight.

Li Jing handed the mirror to Lu Qingxuan and said, "This mirror can reveal the true form of all demons and evil spirits. No matter how well they conceal their aura, they will be exposed once they look in the mirror. You can take it and use it, and return it when you're done."

Lu Qingxuan took the demon-revealing mirror, feeling its weight in his hand. He was grateful and said, "Thank you, Heavenly King. I will personally return it after I have finished using it."

Li Jing waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite. If you need anything else, just let me know."

"Thank you for your kindness, Heavenly King. This demon-revealing mirror is enough," said Lu Qingxuan.

If even the Demon-Revealing Mirror can't tell the origin of that thing, then other treasures are useless.

Nezha stood up and said, "Father, I will accompany the fairy boy down."

Li Jing nodded and then instructed, "The Demon-Revealing Mirror is quite powerful. It must be activated with magic power when used. Remember not to point it at mortals, lest you harm their souls."

Lu Qingxuan said, "I have noted it down."

After the two left the Heavenly King's Palace, Nezha said, "Come on, I'll go with you to take a look."

Lu Qingxuan asked, "Is the Third Prince on leave today?"

Nezha laughed and said, "Well, you know I can't stay still. Let's go."

Seeing that he was so insistent, Lu Qingxuan did not refuse. Perhaps with Nezha present, he could discover something that he had not paid attention to.

Back at the Three Immortals Shrine, Lu Qingxuan held the Demon-Revealing Mirror and activated it. The mirror quickly lit up with a layer of pale golden light. He then used the Demon-Revealing Mirror to examine the inside and outside of the shrine.

At first, the mirror was empty, but when Lu Qingxuan walked to the back of the temple, the mirror suddenly trembled slightly and a blurry figure appeared.

Nezha leaned closer for a look: "This is... a spirit of plants and trees? No, spirits of plants and trees don't have this level of cultivation. This thing's aura has been deliberately concealed. If it weren't for the Demon-Revealing Mirror, it would be impossible to detect."

Lu Qingxuan nodded. Such a sophisticated method of concealment must be extraordinary; the person behind it must be no ordinary individual.

"What do you plan to do?" Nezha asked Lu Qingxuan.

Lu Qingxuan did not answer immediately. He went into the temple and swept away all the filth with a wave of his hand, saying, "Just wait here. Now that I have restored this place, the other party will definitely not let it go."

Nezha agreed, and the two then hid in the nearby forest.

Among the five elemental escape techniques, wood escape is the best at concealment, blending into the vegetation. As long as the opponent's cultivation level is not much higher than one's own, it is difficult to detect.

Around midnight, a gentle breeze blew by.

The wind was acting strangely, and Lu Qingxuan felt a chill run down his spine. He looked in the direction the wind was following.

A dark shadow emerged from the woods outside the village and silently approached the Three Immortals Shrine, skimming along the ground.

The dark figure hesitated for a moment in front of the temple gate, as if sensing whether there was an ambush nearby.

Lu Qingxuan and the other person held their breath and suppressed their aura.

The dark figure remained in place for about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea before silently pushing open the door and slipping inside.

A slight noise came from the temple, and a moment later the dark figure emerged, carrying a pottery jar in his hand.

Lu Qingxuan waited no longer, his longsword silently unsheathed, the tip pointing directly at the back of the dark figure.

Sensing the killing intent behind him, the dark figure suddenly turned around, the pottery jar flying out of his hand and smashing towards Lu Qingxuan's face.

Lu Qingxuan dodged to the side, his sword stance unchanged, and pierced the shoulder of the dark figure with a single strike.

The dark figure grunted, its body blurred, and it transformed into a wisp of green smoke, escaping from under the sword with incredible speed.

However, Lu Qingxuan was prepared. He activated the Demon-Revealing Mirror, and with a surge of magical power, a golden light enveloped the wisp of green smoke...
