"Deng Canyu shed tears and accepted the Kunlun Mirror."
"Looking at the ancient mirror in her hand, she sighed deeply. There had never been any rumors about Honghuan that the Kunlun Mirror was in Hongling's possession. This was clearly stolen goods!"
Leaving the Kunlun Mirror in this era wouldn't do; it was a source of chaos. Hongjun was about to become a sage, and placing a treasure that can transcend time and space in this era was nothing but looking for trouble.
Should the Kunlun Mirror be returned to its original owner? If Xiwangmu asks who stole the mirror, how would she explain it? Would she say it was Nengding who did it? Nengding is the vice-patriarch of the Zhangdao Sect, and Yuyixu Palace is like Deng Canyu's home. How could she tarnish herself like that?
For the sake of the reputation of the Zhangdao Sect, I could only slightly lower my moral standards temporarily. First, I would accept the Kunlun Mirror, and then return it to Xiwangmu when the right opportunity arises.
As for Nengding...
Deng Canyu looked at her palm. Here, she had specifically built a circular space, imitating the previous space control system.
Thirty years, another thirty years, and yet another thirty years of time cycles thoroughly confused Nengding's understanding of time.
Deng Canyu has practiced the Dao of Time, although her level of proficiency in space is very far from it, she has still gained some knowledge.
Nengding's understanding of time was deeper than her own, a fact she acknowledged.
But Nengding's understanding of the Dao of Time is actually quite limited. Not only is it not recognized by the River of Eons, but even his basic techniques for manipulating time are primitive. The reason is that he has still been following the old path in his quest to become a pure Saint.
Facing Deng Canyu, who has already entered the field of Space, Nengding is exhausted. Now, what he is consuming is the time power left within his body by the Kunlun Mirror. A little here, a little there.
Deng Canyu looked at the microscopic town in her palm: "How much do you like time loops? Alright, this time I will truly bestow upon you a grand creation. Both time and space come together. You may well become a sage in your own right."
Nengding is dead, and despite all his efforts, he could not escape this fatal destiny.
Due to frequent entry into time loops, he consumed too much of his own energy. He tried to recover his power like the transformed immortals in the spatial mist town.
With his potential to become a pure Saint, the pure spatial power wouldn't drive him mad nor break his soul and transform him into a monster that only knows to devour blood and flesh. But with the power of time, things would be different.
Even with Yang Mei's talent, she dared not rashly combine the two forces; how much more so for Nengding.
Nengding is like a barrel, and spatial power is like matches. When matches fall into a barrel of oil, the collision of two different properties of Daoist powers on the level of Daoism results in an explosion.
The key to this explosion was the power of time. Nengding couldn't even enter a time loop, ultimately being blown to smithereens from the inside out, leaving behind only a dark, sticky substance at the original location.
The characteristics of a decayed demon god? Deng Canyu didn't leave this thing in the Primordial Wilderness, nor did she throw it into the chaos. Instead, she spat out a ray of the Southern Bright Separation Fire and burned away all the remnants cleanly.
The pressure from the Primordial World is becoming increasingly intense, indicating that Hongjun is about to become a sage.
Deng Canyu was preparing to return to her own time point. To go back, she had to rely on the power of the Kunlun Mirror.
On her thirty-ninth introduction, the Kunlun Mirror finally gave a positive response.
"What's your name?" the Kunlun Mirror asked.
Deng Canyu fell silent, the name Qiu Yuxin was a pseudonym she had used when she first introduced herself to the Kunlun Mirror. Since then, she had changed her name over ten times. Have you just figured this out now?
It feels like being caught by your parents for having a particularly uncool, non-mainstream online nickname, which is incredibly embarrassing in the situation.
"I don't go by the name Qiu Yuxin."
Her response was met with no feedback, and there was an enormous delay on the other side of the Kunlun Mirror.
She waited for a full pot of tea's worth of time. The time progress on the Kunlun Mirror finally reached the point where she had reported her name for the second time, this time calling herself Jia Yingchun.
"What's your name, Jia Yingchun?"
"My damn"
"Is your name Hu San-niang?"
"What's your name, Lin Dawei?"
"Didn't you just say that you don't go by the name Qiu Yuxin?"
The Kunlun Mirror complained to her at noon the next day, "You've given me over a dozen names. What's your real name?"
Deng Canyu was completely defeated by this slow doctor. The sense of superiority she found in Nengding had vanished, and she now just wanted to go back as soon as possible!
Deng Canyu touched the surface of the Kunlun Mirror, not activating this supreme early-stage treasure, but instead looking around with some contemplation.
Starting from yesterday, she felt as though someone had been watching her constantly. She guessed it was due to some unknown change caused by Nengding frequently entering time loops. Now that Nengling was dead, the trouble needed to be resolved by her.
She spoke in a calm tone, "Will you come out on your own, or will I have to drag you out? If I do make a move, your face will be thoroughly embarrassed."
After waiting for a pot of tea's worth of time, the old man with white hair and beard emerged from the darkness.
The old man pointed at the Kunlun Mirror in her hand, indicating that he only wanted this object.
"Yinyang Laozu? You should already be dead." Deng Canyu found this very confusing. Nengding's frequent travel through time had caused problems with the times in the Primordial World. seemingly, Yinyang Laozu had unintentionally crossed over from the time point just before his death.
He wants to take the Kunlun Mirror to completely rewrite his own fate of collapse.
In a different situation, Deng Canyu could have gone to Grandpa Daozu to report this, but now she couldn't. She was also an illegal resident herself!
Yinyang Laozu seemed unwilling to say much more. He drew a Taijiquan pattern with his hands, and an enormous Yinyang power covered an area of ten million miles. The mountains became heavy, and the rivers roiled with waves. The Yinyang power was repelling all other Daoist powers except for itself.
He didn't have the intention to kill, but he wanted to trap Deng Canyu and take back the Kunlun Mirror.
Deng Canyu naturally wouldn't let him succeed, and she stepped to the side, skillfully escaping from the battlefield set up by the other party.
However, as she looked at her sleeves, several arrows-like water currents pierced through them in the moment she escaped.
The situation was even more complicated than she had anticipated.
Good news! Hongjun is thoroughly licking his sandwich, and the Taijitu, the top among the three innate treasures, is no longer in the hands of Yinyang Laozu.
Bad news! This guy can be friends with Hongjun and Yang Mei, and his strength is incredible. Although it's not the same as Triphonia, Yinyang Laozu has also reached a level of near-sainthood, which is a whole different level compared to Nengding.
She dodged the opponent's attacks repeatedly.
"Yang Mei's methods?" Yinyang Laozu's voice was extremely heavy, with a hint of gongs and drums.
Deng Canyu wanted to activate the Kunlun Mirror and leave immediately. Regardless of Yinyang Laozu's current situation, after Hongjun becomes a sage, he will disappear.
But the high latency of the Kunlun Mirror was frustrating; it might not be until this time tomorrow before the Kunlun Mirror could understand her meaning and take her back to her own time point!
