Peak Wang Jie!” Jiang Xia recognized the elemental creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t block it—use speed to get past!” Jiang Xia grabbed Ye Lingxi’s hand, his left eye’s Eternal Mangekyō pattern flashing, “Kamui!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kamui activated; their bodies instantly phasing out of reality, the lava breath passed through empty air. Seizing the opening, Jiang Xia targeted the opposite bank and hurled a kunai!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Flying Thunder God Technique!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, their figures appeared beside the kunai on the far shore. Turning back, the Lava Crystal Beast roared in fury—but could not leave the river of molten rock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having crossed successfully, the two took brief rest, then pressed deeper into the inner zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second trial’s environment shifted into a dark forest, its trees’ leaves glowing a cold, silvery-white, while a hazy moonlight flowed across the sky, rendering the entire woodland serene yet eerie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the Moonlight Forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as they stepped inside, both felt dizzy and disoriented; the surroundings twisted and overlapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s a genjutsu!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia instantly alert, his Sharingan’s high resistance to illusions allowed him to instantly perceive the moonlight permeating the forest carried intense mental interference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to Ye Lingxi and saw her eyes already glazed—clearly affected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lingxi, hold your mind!” Jiang Xia snapped, his left Sharingan pulsing with power; a cool aura enveloped Ye Lingxi, dispelling the illusion’s influence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank Itachi,” Ye Lingxi breathed, still shaken. “This genjutsu is terrifying—silent and unseen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stay close—I can see through illusions with my Sharingan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia took her hand, his Sharingan fully active as they moved swiftly through the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his vision, the twisted illusions were crude theater; the true path stood clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the Moonlight Forest’s trial went deeper. As they advanced, strange creatures called Mirror Shadows began appearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had no fixed form, flowing like mercury, perfectly replicating the appearance, aura, and even partial abilities of intruders!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shhh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A figure identical to Ye Lingxi suddenly darted from behind a tree, ice spikes Ningju  in hand, stabbing toward the real Ye Lingxi!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Watch out!” Jiang Xia reacted instantly, drawing Kusanagi; Chidori surged along the blade as he slashed at the mirror image.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mirrored Ye Lingxi moved just as swiftly, forming an ice shield to block—but her copied abilities fell short; the Chidori tore through the shield effortlessly, and the mirror image dissolved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It even replicated my Xuanming ability to seven or eight percent…” Ye Lingxi’s face darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, more mirror images emerged—copying Jiang Xia, Ye Lingxi, even their combined combat stances—attacking from all sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We must find the original—or locate their core!” Jiang Xia parried the mirror image of his Susano’o skeleton while scanning meticulously with his Sharingan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There!” Ye Lingxi suddenly pointed to the trunk of a massive Moonlight Tree, where a crystal, shifting colors like an eye, was embedded—“All these mirror images draw power from that!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cover me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia understood; Ye Lingxi immediately unleashed her full power, the Ice Phoenix Feathers blazing brightly, “Xuanming—Absolute Zero Domain!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, a vast area was engulfed in absolute zero cold; every mirror image’s movements slowed drastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia seized the moment, his body blurring like lightning, Kusanagi thrust straight at the strange crystal!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Crack!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crystal shattered on impact; all mirror images froze, then vanished like bubbles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having broken the Moonlight Forest’s illusions and mirror shadows, the two finally reached the edge of the secret realm’s core zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entrance to the core zone was a bridge spanning an endless abyss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bridge was not solid—it was woven from countless tiny blue starlight fragments, resembling a river of stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath it yawned a bottomless darkness that swallowed all light, radiating a chilling, soul-rending aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the bridge was anything but calm—violent starstorms swept across it at intervals, chaotic currents of highly condensed star energy capable of shredding the spiritual defenses of Wang Hou cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This bridge is unstable—stepping on it demands extreme balance and precise control over energy,” Jiang Xia observed the flow patterns of the star bridge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll go first,” Ye Lingxi whispered, her toe lightly touching the star bridge; her ice spiritual energy condensed beneath her feet, stabilizing her stance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stepped forward slowly, her form graceful as if dancing upon a river of stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia followed closely, his Sharingan locked onto the energy flows, predicting gaps between the starstorm fragments; they moved in tandem, cautious and deliberate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Midway across the bridge, the fiercest starstorm struck! Blue star fragments, like billions of razor blades, howled toward them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Susano’o!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia didn’t hesitate—he instantly activated the half-body skeletal form of Susano’o, shielding them both. The starstorm slammed into the Susano’o’s bones, screeching with friction, leaving behind streaks of white marks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Move! This storm drains my spiritual energy fast!” Jiang Xia growled, forcing forward against the storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lingxi, ahead, continuously formed ice walls to ease the pressure on Susano’o.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, as their spiritual energy neared depletion, they crossed the Meteor Bridge unscathed and stepped into the core zone of the Three Lights Secret Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The core zone was a relatively tranquil valley, its center holding a spring no larger than ten square feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spring did not flow with ordinary water—it poured forth a liquid interwoven with gold, silver, and blue, radiating immense life energy and soul vibrations!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three Lights Holy Water!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above the holy spring, three extraordinary flowers floated silently, rotating slowly, each radiant with shifting light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunlight Flower: shaped like a blazing sun, its petals golden, faint golden flames dancing upon them, radiating Jizhi  light and heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moonlight Flower: shaped like a crescent moon, entirely silver-white, shrouded in cool, hazy moonlight, serene and mysterious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Starlight Flower: resembling the night sky, its deep blue petals speckled with countless tiny glimmers, brimming with vast stellar power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, factions from all sides arrived, surrounding the spring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akatsuki Jin, Du Gu Yun, and Cui Jue were among them, alongside elites from other clans and sects, and several powerful hermits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All eyed each other warily; the atmosphere crackled with tension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia and Ye Lingxi’s arrival immediately drew every gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Jie nodded to him; Du Gu Yun stood with arms crossed, eyes sharp; Akatsuki Jin regarded Jiang Xia with a grim expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The struggle for the spring was about to ignite!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone struck first—a spell shot toward the holy spring, instantly triggering chaos across the entire scene.\u003C\u002Fp>",1119,"2026-06-20T15:06:04.061Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","47bcaa672c4a01eccf8e3f9f060d43b589a98dd49a2f0e233bdc9b80e2938eb1","global-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-chapter-123","global-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-chapter-121",162,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-cover.jpg"]
