Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Xu Zhangqing asked in disbelief, "The Endless Star Domain has fallen?"

"You haven't been to the Endless Star Domain in several thousand years, have you?"

Ji Chen nodded slightly: "Find an opportunity, go take a look yourself and you'll know.

Over there, every few hours a layer of dark red faint light ripples up.

No matter which direction you observe that faint light from, the brightness is completely identical.

Unaffected by distance attenuation, unbound by laws.

The cultivators of the Endless Star Domain call it the 'Red Tide'.

And within the areas covered by the Red Tide, karma is exceptionally chaotic."

Coincidentally, what the Lord of Red Robes twists is karma.

So obvious, one might even say brazen.

This already indicates that the situation in the Endless Star Domain is extremely dire.

Regarding this, Xu Zhangqing truly felt surprise.

Back when he and Elder Sister and the others went to the Endless Star Domain to search for the entrance to the Eternal Night Ruins.

They indeed discovered an altar related to the Lord of Red Robes in a certain Ancient Clan.

Unexpectedly, just these several thousand years have passed, and it has become this severe.

Xu Zhangqing suppressed the shock in his heart and asked curiously: "Is the Lord of Red Robes' infiltration stimulating the expansion of the Chaos Sea?"

"Yes."

Ji Chen answered extremely decisively: "Between the Chaos Sea and the Lord of Red Robes, a dead cycle has formed.

Time is continuously twisted by the Lord of Red Robes' sustained infiltration.

As a result, the expansion speed of the Chaos Sea is further intensified.

The Chaos Sea expands, and Xianjun's body type grows along with it.

The larger Xianjun becomes, the easier it is for the Chaos Qi inside the Chaos Sea and the Lord of Red Robes' remnants to trigger resonance.

This is one of the reasons why the intervals between Universe Tide eruptions are becoming shorter and shorter.

Once the Chaos Sea assimilates with the Lord of Red Robes, or with the Outer Realm Evil Forces, that would be a disaster for us cultivators, even for the entire Zhutian Wan Jie."

After hearing this, Xu Zhangqing fell silent for a long time.

He showed no emotional fluctuations whatsoever, but the shock in his heart was more violent than at any previous time.

"The ruler of the Endless Star Domain, the True Lord of Myriad Worlds, doesn't care?"

"The higher the realm, the more they cannot meddle!"

"Indeed there is this saying."

"What's more, what we've encountered are merely some minor troubles; the real troubles, whether our Master or the True Lord of Myriad Worlds, have been experiencing all along!"

"Seven Senior Brother."

Xu Zhangqing stared at Ji Chen's pair of sharp eyes: "You telling me all this, what exactly do you want me to do?"

Ji Chen smiled slightly: "Didn't I say, let you exert some effort!"

"Exert effort?"

Xu Zhangqing frowned slightly, then immediately understood.

Seven Senior Brother came looking for him today, going around such a big circle, talking about Outer Realm Evil Forces, talking about the two missing Senior Brothers.

To put it bluntly, he just wants him to help find people.

Finding people, Xu Zhangqing naturally would not refuse.

After all, these two are Senior Brothers in name.

Both emotionally and rationally, if he can help he will help.

But the premise is, he must be able to help.

"Seven Senior Brother."

Therefore, Xu Zhangqing also didn't beat around the bush, and said truthfully: "It's not that I don't want to help you, but Junior Brother's current situation is a bit delicate.

These several thousand years, I have never actively left the Beidou Xianfu.

It's not that I don't want to go out, but that I cannot go out."

Ji Chen asked in surprise: "Why?"

Xu Zhangqing smiled bitterly: "Master won't allow it!"

Hearing this, Ji Chen felt slightly surprised, then thought carefully for a while, then said: "Like this, I won't force you to go out either.

Lend me the Creation Mirror for a use, how about that?"

Xu Zhangqing exclaimed in surprise: "Creation Realm?"

Ji Chen explained: "The Creation Mirror can reflect the origin of all things; through it, we can trace the time of an object.

For example, where it has stayed, or the approximate time."

Xu Zhangqing nodded: "This is no problem."

Immediately, Ji Chen took out two things from his Storage Bag and placed them on the table.

The first was a damaged Jade Pendant.

The jade pendant was roughly half a palm in size, its edges uneven, clearly broken off a complete pendant by external force.

The jade quality itself was superb; even after the erosion of time it remained warm and smooth like fat.

But the crack in the center of the pendant was far too deep, nearly piercing through the entire piece.

Inside the crack lingered a trace of extremely faint energy fluctuation.

Somewhat familiar, as if related to the Lord in Red.

The second item was a fragment of a soul lamp.

The soul lamp itself had shattered beyond recognition; base and lamp body split into several pieces, only vaguely revealing the original shape when fitted together.

The fragment surfaces were covered in spiderweb-like cracks, each extending outward from the wick position, as if some force had blasted it open from within.

And within the feeble embers remaining in the wick, there was faintly a wisp of aura similar to that in the pendant's crack yet more complex.

Not the Lord in Red's power, seemingly mixed with something else.

In short, an indescribable sense of distortion.

Ji Chen introduced them one by one: "The first jade pendant, it belongs to Senior Brother Jun.

An heirloom of the Jun Family of the Great Wilderness Realm, previously always worn on his person, never leaving his side."

The second item, it is Yin Wuji's soul lamp.

The Yin Family lights a natal soul lamp for every Direct Lineage disciple.

Lamp exists, person exists; lamp extinguishes, person dies.

Yin Wuji's soul lamp did not extinguish, yet it shattered.

This situation is extremely rare, meaning his divine soul has not dissipated, but suffered some irresistible force injury.

You use the Creation Mirror to shine on them, see what you can discover."

"Good."

Xu Changqing nodded lightly, not saying anything more.

He placed the two items side by side on the tabletop, just about to circulate Creation Power to activate the Creation Mirror, when he suddenly stopped.

Once Creation Power moves, Master can sense it immediately on that end.

After all, the Creation Green Lotus is planted on the Yu Heng Xing's main spirit vein.

The Green Lotus and Xu Changqing's Creation Dao share the same origin.

If he activates it here, the Tian Shu Star side will inevitably detect it.

Tracing the belongings of the two missing personal disciples, though not a sensitive matter.

But since it involves residual power of the Lord in Red, that is no small matter.

Plainly put, Xu Changqing did not want Master to know he was investigating this.

Investigating would equal releasing a signal.

That is leaving Yu Heng Xing, even leaving the Northern Dipper Immortal Mansion.

And this, obviously is not what the Great Dao Venerable wishes to see.

"Still use the Origin Dao."

Xu Changqing made up his mind, then took out the Creation Mirror from within the Shen Guo.

This is a bronze mirror, within its mirror depths a mass of Chaos Qi flows.

The Origin Dao Heavenly Book operates, using Origin Fire as guide.

A wisp of origin essence separates, injected into the Creation Mirror.

Creation Dao is merely one branch of Origin Dao.

The Creation Mirror can reflect the origin of all things, while Origin Dao is the embodiment of origin.

Therefore a Creation Mirror driven by Origin Dao, its tracing effect is only stronger, not weaker.

Only to see, the Creation Mirror trembled lightly.

The Chaos Qi within the mirror began to rotate faster, spinning ever faster.

Immediately after, Xu Changqing picked up Jun Wu Huo's damaged jade pendant and placed it before the Creation Mirror.

The Chaos Qi in the mirror abruptly stagnated, then began rotating in reverse.

Faintly, a blurry image appeared.

Xu Changqing saw it with his eyes, and instantly stared wide-eyed: "That is?!"
