Chapter 592: Chapter 65: Nine Suns [Seeking Monthly Votes!]_1

The next day, when Immortal Jiuyi next visited the temporary palace where the Shu Mountain was, he was met with a surreal scene.

The three individuals sat each in their meditative positions, the phenomenon of Five Qi Initiation spread out in splendid hues, blanketing the sky. If Wang Xuanling hadn’t put up containment measures, these colours would no doubt be visible throughout the Yu Capital City.

To someone of his standing, achieving a Perfect Cycle was not far from extraordinary.

To ascend to the position of the Nine Heavens Sect Master, one indeed must be exceptional and referred to as a monster among their peers, having trained to the utmost during their youth. But the sheer fact that all three individuals were able to initiate a Perfect Cycle, it was somewhat hard to believe.

If it weren’t for the street urchin loitering outside the gates, Immortal Jiuyi might have suspected that Shu Mountain had somehow mastered a heaven-defying method that would enable anyone, even a dog, to initiate a Perfect Cycle. In that case, he would certainly go to Master Wen Yuan to find out more.

Truthfully, after Jiang Yuebai’s lecture, they had indeed come up with some "tricks" to lower the difficulty of achieving a Perfect Cycle.

But not by much.

"Three Perfect Cycles, your generation at Shu Mountain truly is full of talent." He smiled slightly, not revealing much surprise, so as not to look like someone who’d never seen the world before.

Wang Xuanling laughed, "Their diligence has repaid them. It must be the reward of Heaven’s Will."

Immortal Jiuyi heard this and thought, are the disciples from Misty Mountain Immortals not diligent?

After some thought, it seemed they really were not.

Particularly as the Eldest Senior Brother, who led them, was always sleeping, which set a poor example.

And yet Li Guanlong cultivated even in his sleep and his juniors followed his lead.

Looking at Shu Mountain’s disciples made him think that his disciples needed some correction upon his return.

When he initially offered to enhance Shu Mountain’s strength, he only intended to return a small favor. He never imagined that after several dozen days of training in the Secret Realm, Shu Mountain could truly challenge Penglai.

After all, their rivals equally possessed Secret Realms and had spent more time there, and their realm’s effects were better than his.

But seeing this scene now, he felt a small stir in his heart. Perhaps these young people from Shu Mountain... could really surprise them.

Without further ado, he stopped wasting time.

With a wave of Immortal Jiuyi’s sleeve, a light curtain rose from the flat ground, like a giant rainbow mirror, slowly moving toward the group.

Whoosh——

After the light curtain swept past the group, it stopped in the distance. The group vanished from sight, leaving only the upright light curtain.

Looking into the curtain’s mirror, one could see a space identical to this one. The three disciples initiating their Perfect Cycles sat undisturbed within.

"I will leave this entrance here, and you can enter and exit at your convenience," Immortal Jiuyi said.

"Thank you, Sect Master Jiuyi! Shu Mountain will never forget your help," Wang Xuanling said sincerely.

"Chu Liang did me a favor, and this is just a small repayment," Immortal Jiuyi waved dismissively. He looked unconcerned, and added, "With such promising youths, I believe that Shu Mountain will rise again in the next few decades."

After leaving the entrance of the Mirror Sky Eight Diagrams, he didn’t stay any longer but turned and left.

Afterward, Wang Xuanling turned to Ling Ao who was watching the spectacle from the side. Ling Ao turned to look at Wang Xuanling.

After a moment of silence, Wang Xuanling furrowed his brows, "What are you stare at? Start cultivating!"

Ling Ao was staring at the bright and misty interior of the Secret Realm, with a long sigh.

What on earth could he have done wrong to be made to play with these prodigies?

...

Inside the Mirror Sky Eight Diagrams, the world was identical to the courtyard outside the palace, as if reflected in a mirror.

But once the Cultivation Technique started, they would find that the concentration of spiritual energy far exceeded the outside world. Even the places with the most abundant spiritual energy in the Four Seas and Nine Continents would be hard to achieve this level of concentration. Therefore, practicing here could redouble their efforts, even without delaying the flow of time.

But immediately after Chu Liang entered, he sensed some movements within the White Pagoda.

When they initiated the Perfect Cycle, although the cultivation occupied more of their concentration than in the past, it didn’t entirely prevent them from diverting their attention.

Chu Liang divided a thread of his Divine Sense to probe into the White Pagoda and check the situation.

At this moment, the scenes within and outside the White Pagoda were surprisingly unified.

Three young people outside had started their Perfect Cycle, with clouds and mists swirling around. Inside, the three big-headed babies were also experiencing the phenomena of the Zhou Tian Cycle in shimmering colors.

The one causing the commotion was naturally the little girl-like creature, Tuntun. With her eyes half-closed in a daze, she was bumping against the walls, trying to find a way out.

Her current behavior was similar to when she was in the Black Dragon Secret Realm. At that time, she detected a treasure and became restless until she swallowed the Black Dragon Ball.

Perhaps at this moment she had sniffed out another treasure as well...

Wait.

Chu Liang suddenly felt a jolt.

What could possibly be a treasure outside? They were presently in the Mirror Sky Eight Diagrams, ranked third in the Human World Treasure List!

Oh no.

This little creature couldn’t be trying to get out and nibble on the Mirror Sky Eight Diagrams, could she?

It was doubtful if she could even touch the Mirror Sky Eight Diagrams, but if she showed even the slightest intent of attack, the Immortal Jiuyi would respond immediately.

I kindly lend you a secret realm for cultivation, and you scheme to destroy my sect’s Divine Artifact? Feel my wrath, little thief!

"Let’s just stay home quietly and sleep, we won’t go outside." Upon thinking this, Chu Liang felt a chill and hurriedly stopped Tuntun.

"Mm..."

Tuntun was restrained by him and looked up at him with a pitiful expression in her large eyes.

"If you want some snacks, I’ll find them for you." Overwhelmed by Tuntun’s look, Chu Liang couldn’t help but comfort her.

While he was speaking to the little creature, he suddenly heard a rumbling sound outside. It was as if the whole White Pagoda was passing through some rough cave, shaking violently along with scraping noises.

What’s going on?

Chu Liang’s attention was diverted. Tuntun, who had been held down by his palm, saw an opportunity. She darted towards and hit the exit of the White Pagoda.

"Hey!" — Chu Liang quickly followed her.

But as he took a step, he suddenly stopped.

When he opened his eyes, the world outside was not the peaceful courtyard where the people of Shu Mountain were cultivating. Instead, it was a boundless desert. Jiang Yuebai, Xu Ziyang, and Ling Ao were all nowhere to be seen. The surging heat wrapping his body was even more intense than a flame, making him struggle to breathe the moment he arrived.

Chu Liang couldn’t help feeling dizzy when he looked up.

Above the sky were nine solar orbs!

Where was this place? Was it still within the Mirror Sky Eight Diagrams? It wasn’t projecting another Void Realm like the previous Yanbo City, was it?

But why would it do so?

Immortal Jiuyi shouldn’t have interfered with their cultivation. Could it be that the Mirror Sky Eight Diagrams acted on its own?

Artifacts of such a level all have artifact spirits. Even if not directed by anyone, it’s normal for them to act by themselves. However, why would it act?

Before he could figure it out, little Tuntun, who came here with him, seemed to not fear the scorching heat at all. She flapped her big wings and flew forward.

Chu Liang had no choice but to follow her. Perhaps she might discover something.

The nine suns illuminated the bleak desert and brought unbearable heat. Fortunately, as a Fifth Stage cultivator, he managed to dispel the heat by circulating his cultivation technique lightly.

However, in this world, even when fully extended, his divine sense cannot reach the boundaries, which made him feel slightly uneasy.

He followed Tuntun for who knew how long - since there was no sunrise or sunset in this world. The nine suns were always hanging in the sky.

Finally, when Chu Liang began to feel impatient, the endless desert ahead came to an end.

There was a mountain.

On the mountain, there was a temple.
