Chapter 491: Three-Way Path, Reincarnation Trial

In the distance, the team led by Xiao Yuan and Xu Feng also rushed back to the battlefield, but they were blocked by the energy storm and could not get close.

"Lin Xuan!" Xiao Yuan shouted anxiously, attempting to break through the storm's encirclement.

Lin Xuan was still in a stalemate with Muerxiu; the Taiji Chain and the Void Annihilation Force were contending with each other. The two were like people trapped in the eye of a storm, and the surrounding space had completely twisted and deformed.

Just at this moment, a dazzling silver light suddenly erupted from the peak of Sansheng Feng, intertwining with the purple light at the center of the Array. The distortion of space became even more intense, and a narrow rift leading to the Kunlun Void Realm formed between Sansheng Feng and the center of the Array.

The Array had completely lost control. The purple-black energy storm turned into countless sharp space fragments, shooting out in all directions.

Lin Xuan instinctively placed the Snow Soul Mirror in front of his chest. The mirror surface suddenly emitted an intense silver light, and a strange power surged out from within, forming a translucent protective shield around him. The shield expanded rapidly, enveloping Xiao Yuan, Xuanjizi, and the nearby Balance Sect members.

"This is..." Lin Xuan looked at the anomaly of the Snow Soul Mirror in surprise, suddenly recalling the words of Xueyu Xianren—this mirror could not only resist the impact of Lun Hui memories, but also contained other mysterious powers.

Muerxiu broke free from the restraints of the Taiji Chain, but he could no longer control the situation. The energy storm became increasingly violent, and the spatial distortion had reached a critical point.

"No! It's not over yet! The Light of Reincarnation must be mine!" Muerxiu let out a roar of unwillingness, but he was pulled toward the spatial rift by an invisible force.

Lin Xuan watched helplessly as Muerxiu was swept into the twisted space and disappeared. The next moment, that irresistible force also began to pull at him and everyone inside the protective shield.

"Hold on tight!" Lin Xuan shouted, gripping the Snow Soul Mirror in one hand and grabbing Xiao Yuan's wrist with the other.

The boundary between space and reality blurred completely at this moment. Lin Xuan felt a sense of spinning, as if his entire being had been thrown into the endless Void. In his final moments of consciousness, he saw Sansheng Feng gradually twisting and deforming in his field of vision, finally turning into a silver light that swallowed them up.

He did not know how much time had passed before Lin Xuan regained consciousness. When he opened his eyes, the scene before him left him astonished—this was not Sansheng Feng, nor was it any place in the real world.

The sky presented a strange silver-purple hue, and the outlines of the distant mountains were blurry, as if they might dissipate at any moment. Everything around gave one a sense of unreality; trees, rocks, and water currents all seemed to be covered by a translucent veil.

Xiao Yuan, Xuanjizi, and several other Balance Sect members were also nearby, waking up one after another. They were equally shocked as they looked at the surrounding environment.

"Where is this..." Xiao Yuan asked in a low voice, although she already had an answer in her heart.

Lin Xuan gripped the Snow Soul Mirror, feeling the faint yet firm energy fluctuations within it, and took a deep breath: "Kunlun Void Realm. We have been pulled into the Kunlun Void Realm."

Xuanjizi stood up, his expression grave: "The Array losing control opened the passage, but it also caused severe spatial turbulence. We have passively entered the Void Realm, but Muerxiu is also here."

"And," Lin Xuan looked into the distance, where a mountain peak emitting a faint glow stood, identical to the right peak of Sansheng Feng seen in reality, "the Light of Reincarnation is there; I can sense its presence."

The intense feeling of dizziness receded like a tide, and Lin Xuan slowly opened his eyes; the scene that met his gaze made him doubt for a moment whether he was still dreaming in a coma.

The sky overhead was not the azure of the real world, but presented a dreamlike purple-blue, dotted with countless faint lights, as if innumerable fireflies were swimming in the high sky. Even more strangely, these light spots were not static, but constantly changed position and brightness, forming complex and profound patterns.

The outlines of the distant mountains were blurry and indefinite, as if shrouded by a layer of thin gauze; their boundaries were sometimes clear and sometimes fuzzy, giving one the illusion that they might change shape at any moment. The surface of the mountains flickered with a faint silver light, as if stars had fallen into the mortal world.

Lin Xuan stood up and found that the texture of the ground beneath his feet was peculiar, possessing both the solidity of a physical object and a certain illusory lightness. He reached out to touch a blade of grass beside him and was surprised to find that these plants were all in a translucent state, emitting a subtle radiance as they swayed in the wind, as if carved from jade and infused with moonlight.

Most astonishingly, rocks and water droplets of various sizes floated in many places around, suspended in the air in complete defiance of the laws of gravity. Some rocks were even rotating slowly, while water droplets formed graceful trajectories in the air, like a silent dance.

"This... is the Kunlun Void Realm?" Xiao Yuan exclaimed. She stood beside Lin Xuan, her beautiful eyes filled with an expression of disbelief.

Xuanjizi stood on a small hill not far away, gazing at the wonders all around, and nodded with a grave expression: "The legends are indeed true; this is a place where the Void and reality intersect, and ordinary rules do not fully apply here."

Lin Xuan checked his own state; apart from a slight feeling of dizziness, there was nothing wrong. He looked around and found that besides Xiao Yuan and Xuanjizi, Xu Feng and three other Balance Sect members were also nearby. They were wearing equally shocked expressions and were cautiously exploring this strange space.

"Are there only the seven of us?" Lin Xuan asked.

Xu Feng checked the detector he carried with him and shook his head: "There are only the life signals of the seven of us within the detection range. Others may have been transported to other areas of the Void Realm, or perhaps... they didn't make it in."

He did not finish his sentence, but everyone understood what he meant. The energy storm when the Void Sky-Locking Array lost control was extremely dangerous; if not for the protective shield formed by the Snow Soul Mirror, they might not have been safe and sound either.

What was even more worrying was that Muerxiu and some Awakened Sect members had likely also entered the Void Realm. If they found the Light of Reincarnation first, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"We must act as quickly as possible." Lin Xuan said, taking out the Snow Soul Mirror. The mirror surface flowed like mercury, emitting a soft silver light; it seemed that in this Void Realm, the mirror's power had become more active.

Lin Xuan closed his eyes and activated his Virtual-Reality Perception ability to explore the surrounding environment. When he opened his eyes, the Taiji Pattern in his eyes rotated rapidly, and the world presented a brand-new appearance to him—all things were composed of countless tiny energy points; these energy points constantly flowed, aggregated, and separated, forming this world of Void-Reality Fusion.

"There are three distinct paths ahead." Lin Xuan pointed into the distance; although it was just an open plain under normal vision, in his Virtual-Reality Perception, three clearly defined energy paths were visible.

The group followed Lin Xuan forward. Strangely, as they approached, those three paths gradually manifested in everyone's eyes—on the left was an ice-blue path, biting with cold, and the sides of the path were covered in crystalline ice flowers.
