Chapter 303: First Encounter with the Tianxuan Mirror

"There's only one Opportunity; you must seize it," Ji Hongdao said with a very serious tone.

The students also understood that such an Opportunity might only come once in a lifetime.

Even with the best mindset, they couldn't help but become anxious and expectant.

In front of everyone, Ji Hongdao took out a communication spirit talisman, seemingly contacting someone.

A moment later, he nodded and hung up the communication.

He took out a heavenly mystery little mirror from his storage ring.

He threw it up, and it hung high above everyone's heads.

He then took out a silver Jade Slip and gently crushed it.

In an instant, countless chaotic characters emerged from the Jade Slip.

Ji Hongdao formed a hand seal, and those characters flew towards the heavenly mystery little mirror in the sky according to a specific order.

Li Fan squinted his eyes; he saw segments of text flashing quickly and sequentially on the Tianxuan Mirror.

The characters constantly changed, and after absorbing the text from this Jade Slip, the previously ordinary heavenly mystery little mirror underwent a strange transformation.

The mirror's outline emitted a faint light before dissolving and disappearing.

Without restraint, the mirror surface began to expand rapidly in all directions.

In a blink of an eye, a palm-sized mirror transformed into a massive gate, a hundred zhang high and thirty zhang wide.

On the towering, broad mirror surface, there was no reflection of the surrounding scenery, only streams of silver light flowing.

As everyone marveled at the scene unfolding before their eyes, Ji Hongdao flew to the mirror surface and cast a spell.

A silver beam of light shot out from the mirror surface, enveloping Ji Hongdao.

A segment of characters on the mirror surface instantly appeared and then vanished.

Seemingly confirming Ji Hongdao's identity, the light beam faded, and immediately after, a black hue appeared from the center of the mirror surface.

It instantly expanded to cover the entire mirror surface.

A rectangular spatial passage appeared before everyone.

"This is…"

"Can a spatial teleportation be activated using any tianxuan mirror's mirrored creation as a node?"

"It also seems to require dual confirmation of password and personnel," Li Fan secretly speculated based on the previous scenes.

"Follow me; only after passing the tianxuan mirror's identity verification can you enter the passage."

With that, Ji Hongdao was the first to fly in.

With excited hearts, the students eagerly flew closer.

Whenever someone was about to approach the passage, a silver beam of light would descend from above, locking onto them.

No abnormalities appeared; the sudden disappearance of the light beam indicated successful verification.

"This seems to have a similar effect to the Tianxuan Locking Spirit," Li Fan thought, and he followed the others into the spatial passage.

A sudden sensation of dizziness swept over him.

It was a feeling extremely similar to long-distance teleportation, as if even space-time was stretched and perception was distorted.

The next instant, it felt like being torn out of a thin membrane that enveloped his entire body.

Li Fan fell into a strange space.

All colors instantly faded, and everything he saw was gray and white.

Black lines whistled from a distant place, brushing past their bodies, some even passing through them, rushing towards the infinite distance.

And white lines shot out, either from above their heads or from the abyss below their feet, moving continuously in the opposite direction.

Occasionally, black and white lines would collide, the two colors constantly intertwining, eventually forming a tiny void point.

The duration of the void points varied.

Some lasted for a moment, others remained after several breaths.

But ultimately, they would all completely annihilate.

Just as everyone was staring in a daze at this somewhat surreal, fantastical scene before them, their heads spun, and their perspective suddenly elevated infinitely.

They saw that in this almost boundless, vast world, black and white lines seemed to move rapidly, seemingly without rules, yet also following some kind of order.

They collided and merged with each other.

Tiny void points were constantly born and extinguished in a flickering manner.

…

Their minds lost in this magnificent sight, it was a long while before everyone returned to normal.

"It is said that all the secrets of the world are hidden within this black and white. Unfortunately, my Aptitude is dull, and I cannot comprehend them," Ji Hongdao's somewhat regretful sigh echoed in everyone's ears.

"Let's go, the nascent mirror surface is just ahead."

Ji Hongdao casually grabbed a passing black line, and in an instant, his figure followed the black line, disappearing from everyone's sight.

Seeing this, the students also imitated him, grabbing a passing black line beside them.

As if merging with the black line, the rapidly moving gray world also became incredibly slow in Li Fan's eyes.

He continued to move towards the distant target, and when he encountered white lines moving from above or below along the way, these white lines seemed to have a consciousness of their own and would actively avoid him.

Li Fan enjoyed the smooth ride, marveling at the sights along the way.

After an unknown amount of time, they arrived at the edge of this gray and white world.

The black lines faded and disappeared, and everyone one by one returned to their original forms.

Ahead was a multicolored halo that was out of place with the gray and white world.

Perhaps it was because he had been there for a long time and had not seen colors for a while.

When Li Fan saw the churning, distorted colors in the distance, a strange feeling of nausea and disgust inexplicably arose in his heart.

Gray and color collided and rubbed against each other.

Although no sound was made, Li Fan could feel two powerful forces contending with each other, vibrating the space.

In the clash, a part of the multicolored light cluster seemed to be cut off by the gray.

It lost its original color, becoming dull and lifeless, quietly floating at the edge of space.

After a long while, a faint glimmer seemed to light up on all of them simultaneously.

Originally gray and white, they slowly began to become somewhat crystalline and translucent.

Ji Hongdao didn't speak, but all the students already understood that what they were seeing was the birth process of the tianxuan mirror's nascent mirror surface.

They all calmed their minds and carefully observed.

Li Fan, however, was slightly stunned, first looking around and then sensing his own body.

He couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Time seemed to accelerate.

The light continuously flickered, and all the gray disappeared.

One nascent mirror surface after another was born.

Some remained in place after birth, while others suddenly disappeared, going to unknown places.

But overall, the vast majority floated at the edge of the gray world.

The number of mirror surfaces accumulated more and more.

Finally, at a certain moment, an endless stream of black and white fine lines surged from the gray world towards the nascent mirror surfaces.

Black and white intertwined, like the most intricate loom, rapidly weaving garments for these newborns.

When the mirror surfaces were completely enveloped by the black and white woven fabric, black and white instantly merged into one.

A perfectly smooth sphere, with black and white Chaos flowing on its surface, instantly appeared.

"This is the Array Pivot of the Heavenly Mystery Spirit Locking Array," Ji Hongdao's voice rang out at just the right moment.

"Did you see clearly?"

His voice instantly receded.

All the surrounding scenery froze.

Everything shattered.
