Chapter 877: Sun and Moon Shining Together Heaven

'This place seems to have no Grand Void... and it is impossible to drive the wind, there should be restrictions... The range of spiritual sense is also suppressed to the surroundings, I am afraid there is an extremely terrible array.'

He first closed his eyes, prayed to the Immortal Mirror, and after a series of spells, he did not get a response. His inner speculation was more certain. He dared not act, nor dared to leave. He hesitated for a long time, took a step back, saluted, and then reached out to take it.

This token was cold to the touch, smooth and delicate, not stained by divine ability, not invaded by spiritual sense, just like all the Immortal Mirror fragments and the Immortal Mirror itself from a hundred years ago to the present, like an ordinary object.

Li Ximing held this thing in his hand, and there was no strange phenomenon, so he carefully held the thing and turned around, arrived at the jade table in the pavilion, thought for a while, and finally picked up the jade bottle to examine it.

The jade bottle was different from the common appearance in Jiangnan. The bottle neck was slightly longer, without any objects like bottle stoppers or bottle caps. The bottle body was pure white, faintly painted with several vertical patterns.

Spiritual sense naturally could not pass through, so he could only stand the jade bottle up and look from top to bottom. Inside, layers of mist were flowing, sinking or floating, cyan-colored and colorful.

Li Ximing carefully experienced it, and actually sensed a bit of familiarity. He closed his eyes slightly, and his heart trembled slightly: "Lu Qi..."

Although this form had never been seen before, it had an extremely familiar feeling. Li Ximing hesitated for an instant, various spells of the 【Sacrificial Method】 surged into his heart, followed by an electric-like mood, like thunder shaking: 'Zifu Cyan Record!'

Li Ximing had considered this thing early on, but Zifu monsters were hard to find. Up to now, the Li family had only seen that white elephant, treacherous and cunning, and hadn't seen which Zifu monster was easy to deal with...

'With this thing, could Zhou Wei's Lu Qi be solved?!'

Although Li Ximing received the record before Zifu, he had experienced the slowness of Zifu divine ability cultivation, and had long missed the powerful effect of the Foundation Establishment era, where one record raised one level. He couldn't use it, but now that Li Zhouwei had closed-door cultivation to break through Zifu, this cyan record could turn their imagination into reality! With this thing in front of him, he could only breathe excitedly, his hands almost trembling. He observed it carefully, fearing that he would stain the spirit object in his hand, and hurriedly put it back on the table.

His gaze moved away from the porcelain white bottle reluctantly, and then he went to look at the purple-black wooden slip like sandalwood, opened it lightly, and the content was empty, only a smooth blank surface.

Li Ximing quickly put this thing down, thought about it again and again, only picked up the token, became bolder, and searched the long cabinets, small boxes, and vanity cases in the pavilion one by one, not letting go of any place.

However, he didn't find anything, only saw a small box at the bottom of the cabinet, containing half a box of five bottles of cyan-white Qi that hadn't been used up. He didn't know what it was, but Li Ximing probed with his spiritual sense, and it should be some kind of spirit Qi rather than spirit resources.

He put it back carefully, circled around, and finally returned to the white jade lamp niche, examining this cold light like moonlight. He hesitated for a moment, but finally didn't dare to lift the top cover of the lamp niche to see what kind of lamp oil was used inside, pretended not to care, walked past, and arrived at the pavilion door.

Through the cracks in the building door, he could see a long corridor outside the courtyard, with six white jade lamp pillars, emitting cold light. The ends of the corridor were divided into two ends, covered in overlapping clouds and mist.

"Creak."

Li Ximing pushed the door out, stepped out, and saw the clouds and mist beside the doors and windows swept away, revealing gray steps. The sound of pushing the door echoed in this silent immortal palace, echoing in the clouds and mist, dissipating in the overlapping clouds.

'So quiet.'

"Da."

He took a step down, his gaze swept low from the gray steps under his feet, and found that there were imperceptible array patterns on the steps, dim and lusterless, not knowing if they were opened, only flowing with faint white light.

The sound of footsteps echoed. This corridor was not long. Walking all the way, in the clouds and mist was another pavilion, the shape was similar to the one just now, but higher, estimated to be three stories, with eaves and teeth, hanging a plaque on it, written:

【Shang Huan】

Li Ximing pushed the door in, and saw that the first floor was empty, with a white jade lamp in each of the four corners, and a stone platform in the middle.

This stone platform was no higher than the waist, painted with the picture of Taiyin setting moon, clouds and mist rising patterns, and a rectangular slot was recessed in the middle, emitting faint cold light in this not-so-bright pavilion.

There were steps to the second floor on the side, Li Ximing walked up the steps, thinking deeply.

Zifu's eyesight was not bad, he could naturally see that there were also traces of array restrictions from this floor to the second floor, but he didn't know why they didn't take effect, and they were set here empty.

The situation on the second floor was almost exactly the same as the one below, only the space was a circle smaller, with an open pavilion window, which could let in a little more light. Li Ximing looked at it roughly and continued to go up.

The top floor was smaller than just now, the light of the four lamp niches intertwined, but the middle was finally not a stone platform, but a cyan-bottomed jade cushion, with a square bronze incense burner in front of the cushion, padded with a layer of shallow incense ash.

At this point, the token in Li Ximing's hand emitted a little light, and it seemed to have a response.

Li Ximing hurriedly moved forward. This cyan-bottomed jade cushion was densely written with many small characters, looking from a distance like patterns. Although they were all ancient characters, they could make the spiritual sense clear instantly when touched, knowing the meaning.

《Cave Talisman Ascension Technique》

Immediately after, the surging content of the technique came. The first part that entered his eyes was the spell he had read earliest: 【Guidance Method】.

This spell for seeking talisman seeds passed in the blink of an eye, and the one that followed was naturally the 【Sacrificial Method】 for seeking Lu Qi.

And this spell flashed before his eyes, and finally actually surged out a third part:

【Ascension Method】! This spell was unprecedentedly special. Li Ximing had never seen it before. It mainly described how to use this cyan jade cushion to lift the talisman seed, open the profound and bright, fly to the sky, follow the law and time, report duties and discuss merits, in order to seek the Dao method...

'Talisman seed... it is undoubtedly the technique bestowed by the Immortal Mirror!'

Li Ximing only took this glance, and heard the technique mention that people who practice this technique must not only have talisman seeds, but also 【register on the profound record, ascend to the true name】 before they can 【open the profound and bright】, reach the 【sky】 with their souls, and contact all kinds of mysterious and unspeakable Great Dao.

Li Ximing was very familiar with this. He had already registered on the profound record and ascended to the true name before he came in, which meant that he could perform the last 【Ascension Method】 of the 《Cave Talisman Ascension Technique》 now.

'The immortal technique inheritance obtained by my family since its rise should be derived from this place!'

He immediately bowed, bowed to the cushion as a teacher for a long time, and then got up.

There was too much information contacted at once, which made him secretly steady his mind. Only then did he look at the incense burner with complex eyes, and saw a few small characters engraved on the square bronze furnace wall: '【Secret Treasury of Saint Qing Mansion Profound Seven Pavilion】'

Li Ximing thought:

'This place should be 【Shang Huan Pavilion】, I don't know what the relationship is with the 【Secret Treasury of Saint Qing Mansion Profound Seven Pavilion】, or this incense burner came from this place, it might be related to this sky...'

Li Ximing examined it for a while, had associations, realized something, arrived at the first floor of this 【Shang Huan Pavilion】, pushed the door out, and soon walked back, holding the purple-black wooden slip in his hand.

He spread it out, and sure enough, it was a neat rectangle. Holding it in his hand, he compared it, nodded secretly, and embedded the wooden slip into the slot on the stone platform. Sure enough, it was seamless and natural.

The stone platform and wooden slip, which looked like ordinary objects in spiritual sense, finally had a change. When spiritual sense fell on it, information was transmitted one after another. Li Ximing closed his eyes slightly, and vast books appeared in his mind.

'《Huan Xue Xing》《Floating Cloud Heart Sutra》《Xuan Geng Sword Technique》... 《Cang Jiang Asking Source Formula》《Zhi Fire Long Xing Gong》'

Li Ximing suddenly realized: "These are all Foundation Establishment techniques!"

The techniques that appeared in his mind in turn were countless, and the quantity was astonishing. Li Ximing read it once and noticed a point: "These names are bright or dark... It seems there is a difference."

He chose randomly, first focused his attention on the dim 《Huan Xue Xing》, and sure enough, there was no response, so he turned to the shining 《Xuan Geng Sword Technique》.

The bright golden characters immediately appeared on the wooden slip embedded in the stone platform, and many sword technique essentials appeared one after another, flowing like water on the wooden slip.

Li Ximing couldn't care about reading more, his heart was slightly excited, immediately took off the wooden slip, walked two steps to the stone platform on the second floor, re-embedded the purple-black wooden slip into the stone platform, and sank his spiritual sense into it.

"Hum!"

A huge number of techniques surged out again, but there were fewer bright ones. Li Ximing almost saw the 《Ming Hua Huang Yuan Sutra》 he practiced at a glance! "Sure enough, it came from here! Whether it is immortal method or technique, it is derived from this 【Shang Huan Pavilion】!"

Along with it, there were Li Jiangqian's 《Tian Li Ri Ze Sutra》 and Li Quewan's 《Hou Shu Jin Shu》. Although most of the technique names on it were dim, besides these three Li family techniques, there were actually many Zifu techniques.

'The Zifu technique of 'Zi Qi' 《Tian Xiu Qi Zi Jing》, 'Yu Zhen''s 《True Jade He Xu》, 'True Qi''s 《Huai Water Hua Shen Shu》...'

Li Ximing swept a glance, except for the attachments of these Zifu techniques, he even found several spells!

'It is a fifth-grade spell... It seems that only spells above the fifth grade are considered Zifu level, which is consistent with Jiangnan.'

The spells used by Zifu overseas were only fourth-grade, and only the Sun orthodoxy had fifth-grade. I don't know if there were seventh-grade spells. It is said that the highest spell in Jiangnan was sixth-grade.

He let out a long breath, observed for a while, these separately separated spells were all those that were not easy to conflict with other orthodoxies, and there was even an extremely rare 'Clear Qi' spell.

Li Ximing couldn't help but think secretly:

'Fifth-grade spells are too difficult, and I don't have so much cultivation talent to master them one by one. When I have a chance, I will only master one or two, and use fourth-grade to supplement the others... Just have one to use first. After all, Zifu overseas doesn't have the reason for every path to be fourth-grade.'

So he didn't look at these spells much, paused slightly, turned around and went out from the first floor of 【Shang Huan Pavilion】, arrived at the corridor, crossed this 【Shang Huan Pavilion】, and sure enough saw the road going down.

He walked down the steps, the clouds and mist were not as thick as before. Only then did he discover that he was on the top of a mountain. The moonlight and the morning sun shone together. Looking at the terrifying scene of the sun and moon hanging in the distance, Li Ximing hurriedly lowered his head.

At the bottom of the pavilion was an immortal courtyard, four wing rooms surrounded a patio, and array patterns were spread everywhere, and it seemed that an array was running silently. Li Ximing walked all the way to the courtyard gate, and only then smelled a trace of dangerous aura.

He stopped suddenly, experienced it carefully, and only felt that this dangerous aura was somewhat familiar. After a moment, he understood:

"Forbidden Array! A forbidden array above Zifu!"

Li Ximing hurriedly retreated a step, looked up, swept a glance at the scene of the sun and moon in the sky and the patterns of this immortal pavilion appearing and disappearing, and finally suddenly realized:

"This entire heaven and earth is shrouded in a forbidden array. The reason why it was safe to the point of not being noticed just now is because the array of this immortal pavilion is always running, protecting this pavilion so that it can move!"

Although the dangerous feeling coming from this door was heavy but not fatal, Li Ximing knew what kind of place this was, and still had lingering fears, and retreated quickly.

'This place is not small, the spirit machine is really too rich... The spiritual energy of Pingya Continent is considered okay, compared with this place, it is not worth mentioning. If you can practice here, come and go freely, it is really twice the result with half the effort!'

You must know that the 【Sky】 mentioned in the cyan jade cushion is not the place where 【Shang Huan Pavilion】 is located, but to reach the 【Sky】 in the 【Sun and Moon Shining Together Heaven and Earth】 where 【Shang Huan Pavilion】 is located! And this 【Shang Huan Pavilion】 is empty, I am afraid it is at the cave level, and the outside is locked by a forbidden array. Isn't it for his own family to use? 'There is heaven and earth in the mirror, as if disciples come and go... Storing secrets, it is also much more convenient for the family...'

Hope rose in Li Ximing's heart, but hope was hope, joy faded, and the uneasiness hidden in the bottom of his heart became more and more intense.

Without him, although this place had rich spirit machines, it was extremely strangely unable to communicate with the Grand Void, as if trapped in a cage. Li Ximing was taken here, and there was no way to go out, and the world outside was not stable! Could it be that he Li Ximing had to wait here forever?

He checked a few times carefully, closed his eyes tightly, communicated with the Immortal Mirror several times without success, could only return to 【Shang Huan Pavilion】, bowed before the cyan cushion, and re-focused.

'Open the profound and bright, fly to the sky, follow the law and time, report duties and discuss merits, in order to seek the Dao method...'

'Now... I am afraid that only the road of operating the 【Ascension Method】 can be taken...'

He steadied his mind, lifted his sleeve, took out three sticks of incense from it, inserted them into the bronze incense burner in front of him, waved his hand to light them, and then sat cross-legged on the cyan jade cushion.

As he chanted the spell and pinched the formula, the cyan jade cushion underneath lit up with golden light, flowing one by one on those talisman spells, turning into golden talisman characters, dancing along his body, emitting dim and elegant golden light.

Compared with the heaven and earth turning, hands and feet cold when entering this 【Sun and Moon Shining Together Heaven and Earth】, Li Ximing actually didn't have much feeling. After a stick of incense burned out, there were more and more golden talisman characters surrounding his body, all surging into the Shengyang Mansion, and the spell in his mouth was also chanted. He only felt a flash in front of his eyes, his soul flew into the infinite high sky, and fell floating.

The scene in front of him turned dark and then bright, clouds and mist lingering.

"This..."

Li Ximing was now truly stepping on the thick clouds and mist. Not only did he not see any pavilions, nor did he see any sun and moon, let alone mountain peaks. Looking around, the ground was white.

He lowered his head slightly, and found that his legs were submerged in the clouds and mist, appearing and disappearing, actually revealing a sense of semi-transparency. All divine abilities, magic power, and even the solid feeling of the flesh dissipated, leaving only a soul standing in the clouds and mist.

"It truly ignores the Rising Sun Prefecture, snatching away souls... If a Qi Refining cultivator were to come right now... a single spell could kill me... In this present world... aside from the Underworld, where else are there many who can seize souls..."

He forcibly suppressed the horror in his heart, looked into the distance slightly, and only then saw the pavilions appearing and disappearing in the clouds in the distance, and looking further away, he could even see the familiar golden light shooting into the sky.

'So those fairyland-like sceneries... are actually this 【Sky】!'
