The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1320

Chapter 1320: Chapter 1317: The Plan Chapter 1320: Chapter 1317: The Plan “Huh…”

When Shen Luo arrived at the edge of this pool of water, he was surprised to discover that it wasn't filled with rainwater, but with spring water permeated with a thin aura of Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi.

He cupped some water to drink and felt only its clear, sweet taste, which greatly eased the exhaustion he had accumulated over the past days.

Shen Luo returned to the shore and found a rock to sit on. After taking a short rest, his body emitted a surge of blue light, enveloping him from head to toe, and only dissipated slowly moments later. It was unclear what he was doing within that light.

He channeled mana into the Qiankun Bag at his waist and gave it a shake.

The Ghost General and Mirror Fiend within had already woken up one after another on their way here.

With a flash of blue light, the Mirror Fiend shot out from the bag and landed beside Shen Luo.

“Master,” the Mirror Fiend said in a low voice, looking quite dejected.

Previously, in the Black Abyss Mystery Cave, the enemies Shen Luo faced were formidable, and she barely had a chance to lend a hand, helplessly hiding inside the Qiankun Bag the whole time. This made her feel quite upset.

Moreover, as Shen Luo's cultivation level soared rapidly, the gap between them widened, causing the Mirror Fiend even more anxiety.

“There's no need to feel down. Previously, in the Black Abyss Mystery Cave, there were too many enemies, and that particular environment wasn't suitable for you to play a role. With the innate abilities of the Mirror Fiend family and that Treasure Mirror, your potential is still very strong,” Shen Luo said, comforting her.

Upon hearing this, the Mirror Fiend's expression subtly changed and seemed to improve considerably.

“First, I will send you back to the Eastern Sea. There is no need to continue guarding the Spring and Autumn Pavilion. Here are some elixirs and True Water, along with a few Magical Treasures, as a reward for your hard work during this period. After you return, continue to improve your cultivation and strive to reach the Late Mahayana Stage as soon as possible,” Shen Luo said, taking out a bracelet-shaped Storage Magical Tool and handing it over to the Mirror Fiend.

At the same time, his lips moved slightly as he transmitted a secret message into the Mirror Fiend's mind.

The Mirror Fiend looked startled upon hearing the message, then nodded and took the bracelet.

Shen Luo activated the Art of Spirit Communication, condensing a Spirit Communicating Water Hole to send the Mirror Fiend back to the Eastern Sea.

Within the Mirror Fiend's cave mansion, amidst swirling blue light, a water vortex several zhang in size appeared out of thin air, from which the Mirror Fiend leaped out.

“Sister, why did you stay there for so long after being summoned this time?” A cold voice rang out as a blue figure stood inside the cave; it was the Tear Demon, wearing an unchanging expression.

Blue light lingered around the Tear Demon, her aura strong and solid, having already reached the Late Mahayana Stage and on the verge of approaching the peak.

“Master had me take his place guarding the sect, and then we explored a secret realm where we encountered very powerful enemies, which is why it took a long time,” the Mirror Fiend explained.

“Humph, you're still so naive. How can you trust the words of the Human Race, especially a man? Be careful he doesn't sell you out one day,” the Tear Demon snorted.

“Master won't do that. He always keeps me in a safe place, never letting me face danger, only borrowing my abilities,” the Mirror Fiend said softly, yet her expression was exceedingly resolute.

“You really are a blockhead,” the Tear Demon said, her face showing a 'why can't you understand' frustration seeing the Mirror Fiend like this.

“Tear Demon Sister, I want to accompany you to cultivate in the Beiming Secret Realm,” the Mirror Fiend said after falling silent for a moment, suddenly lifting her head.

“Why do you suddenly want to go there? Did you tell Shen Luo about the Beiming Secret Realm?” the Tear Demon exclaimed in surprise before quickly asking in a stern voice.

The Beiming Secret Realm was a secret place under the Eastern Sea that she and the Mirror Fiend had discovered early on; only the two of them knew about it, making it their greatest secret.

“No, I just want to increase my cultivation level quickly,” the Mirror Fiend shook her head gently.

The Tear Demon knew that the Mirror Fiend never lied, and upon hearing this, her expression relaxed, but then she thought of something and her face grew solemn again.

“Increase your cultivation level? You want to go in for extended cultivation? No way! The Beiming Secret Realm is full of dangers. Last time I went in to help you break through to the Mahayana Middle Stage, I almost met with misfortune. It's still too early for you to enter there now!” the Tear Demon said in a stern voice.

“I know it's dangerous, but Master has given me a few excellent Magical Treasures. As long as I'm clever about it, keeping myself alive shouldn't be a problem,” the Mirror Fiend said, taking out the bracelet magical instrument that Shen Luo had just given her.

“What kind of Magical Treasures?” the Tear Demon asked, looking at the bracelet magical instrument.

The Mirror Fiend's Divine Sense penetrated it, and with a wave of her hand, several Magical Treasures emerged, precisely those belonging to Yuan Ming: the two yellow short halberds, the fat man from the Thick Earth Sect's yellow large shield, and Tortoise Sect's Hall Master Zhong's white turtle seal.

Each of the three treasures emitted astonishing fluctuations of spiritual power, causing the Tear Demon's expression to change abruptly.

“What powerful Magical Treasures, each one reaching the level of top grade. Shen Luo actually was willing to give them to you?” the Tear Demon took a while to recover before she slowly said, still with a hint of disbelief in her tone.

“Master has now reached the True Immortal Stage, so these treasures are nothing to him,” the Mirror Fiend said with some pride.

“What! He's reached the True Immortal Stage!” the Tear Demon exclaimed, her expression changing.

When she first met Shen Luo, he was only in the Late Nascent Soul Stage. Now, barely a hundred years had passed and he had advanced to the True Immortal Stage, already surpassing her!

“You are his spirit pet; these Magical Treasures being with you is no different from them being in his own hands. Naturally, he's willing to part with them,” the Tear Demon said, somewhat grudgingly.

“With these three Magical Treasures to protect me, I should be able to take care of myself in the Beiming Secret Realm,” the Mirror Fiend said, smiling slightly, without arguing with the Tear Demon.

“With these three Magical Treasures, you can indeed take care of yourself in the Beiming Secret Realm. Alright, you can go in with me afterwards,” the Tear Demon said, collecting her emotions and speaking after pondering for a moment.

Upon hearing this, the Mirror Fiend's face showed great delight.

After speaking for a while, the Tear Demon took her leave, telling the Mirror Fiend to hurry up and refine those three Magical Treasures.

The Mirror Fiend sat down inside the secret chamber of her cave, her Divine Sense probing into the bracelet again, where several elixirs and some Dual-element True Water were placed in the depths of the storage space of the bracelet.

Besides these, there was a white jade box, the very one that contained the Sky Machine Scroll, sealed tight with Sealing Talismans all over it.

Looking at the white jade box, the Mirror Fiend recalled the words Shen Luo had secretly transmitted before: “Protect this white box well. Do not let anyone know about it, nor open it, or there may be a great disaster.”

The Mirror Fiend was silent for a moment, then suddenly opened her mouth and sprayed out a blue light, swallowing the bracelet into her belly.

…

At the bottom of the Gobi Heavenly Pit, Shen Luo dispelled the Spirit Communicating Water Hole.

He was going to Tianji City next, to consult with the Little Master on how to repair the jade pillow. The Sky Machine Scroll was fundamental to Tianji City, and even though the jade plate seemed unremarkable, who knew if it could trigger some prohibition within the city? It was safer to send it to a far-off place.

As for the content of the Sky Machine Scroll, he had already transcribed it onto another jade slip.

Shen Luo was silent for a moment, then took out the Free and Easy Mirror, channeling Mana into it.

The Water Cloud charm patterns on the Free and Easy Mirror immediately lit up, and a burst of red light sprayed from the mirror. Two figures emerged from it; it was Fu Donglai and Xie Yuxin.

Both had just woken up not so long ago. Fu Donglai was still in a suppressed state, firmly controlling Xie Yuxin as they appeared not far in front of Shen Luo.
