Chapter 766: Comprehending Divine Abilities Within the Mirror

“It’s like getting beaten so much that you develop resistance to divine abilities,” Li Fan thought to himself in shock.

His techniques were becoming increasingly ineffective, while Shuo Feng was only growing stronger with each battle.

In the end, Li Fan admitted his inferiority and left, using the excuse that he needed time to reflect and develop new divine abilities.

Instead of going elsewhere, he headed straight for the Tianxuan Mirror in Tianquan Prefecture, utilizing his privilege level of authority-35.

However, the process was different from what he had imagined.

Rather than directly opening a passage from a Tianxuan Sub-Mirror to the Tianxuan Main Mirror, he was instead given a specific time and location to go to. He was instructed that someone would guide him at the designated time—there would be no waiting for late arrivals.

At the appointed time, Li Fan arrived outside Tianquan City, atop a towering stone mountain that resembled a lotus flower.

A middle-aged cultivator was already there, waiting.

The man had a goatee and wore a blue Daoist robe. He glanced at Li Fan with a hint of surprise but remained polite. He cupped his hands in greeting and said, “Greetings, fellow Daoist. I am Wang Wan.”

Sensing the subtle aura Wang Wan unconsciously exuded, Li Fan judged that this man was at least at the Soul Transformation stage. He did not dare to be negligent and returned the greeting: “Greetings, Daoist Wang. I am Li Fan.”

After a brief exchange of introductions, they nodded slightly and fell silent.

“A level 35 authority privilege isn’t something that can be achieved through cultivation strength alone. There must be deep connections within the Immortal Alliance. No wonder, despite my mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, he treats me with such respect,” Li Fan thought to himself.

A short while later, another cultivator arrived at the mountain peak—a female cultivator dressed in tight-fitting white attire.

After greeting Li Fan and Wang Wan, she also remained silent, waiting quietly.

Li Fan learned that her name was Deng Mingxi.

After that, no more cultivators arrived.

A full incense stick’s time later, subtle ripples of spatial fluctuations appeared above the mountain peak.

It was as if invisible threads had cut open a transparent doorway.

A black-robed cultivator stepped out from within.

After scanning the three of them and confirming their identities, he said in a deep voice, “Follow me.”

Without any discernible movement on his part, the transparent door instantly expanded, engulfing all three of them.

A dazzling light erupted.

The door and its occupants vanished from sight.

A familiar sensation surged through Li Fan.

It was just like the time he had entered the Root of Heaven and Earth in the void of Tianling Prefecture.

His flesh and bones felt as if they were dissolving and transforming.

When Li Fan regained consciousness, he found himself once again in that peculiar black-and-white form, composed entirely of lines—a ridiculous yet surreal appearance.

However, unlike in the Root of Heaven and Earth, this vast monochrome space seemed to contain a mysterious suppressive force.

That force settled upon him, preventing his own lines from slowly unraveling and dissipating.

Li Fan quietly sensed the faint yet ever-present suppressive power and thought to himself, “This must be the Tianxuan Mirror’s protective mechanism.”

“After all, we are here to comprehend divine abilities. Without this protective layer, ordinary cultivators would likely be completely assimilated by this space within moments.”

“However, given my previous experience in the Root of Heaven and Earth and my comprehension of the similar [Extracting Threads, Cutting Life] divine ability, I should be able to last longer than most.”

Li Fan looked around.

Not far away, Deng Mingxi and Wang Wan had also transformed into line-drawn figures.

However, there was a noticeable difference from their original forms.

Deng Mingxi’s body was significantly smaller than the two male cultivators.

She now appeared to be no more than thirteen or fourteen years old.

Although Wang Wan’s physique did not change much, his vaguely visible appearance transformed from a middle-aged cultivator with a goatee into an image of an elderly man, bent with age.

It seemed that Wang Wan was not coming to this place for the first time, as he moved forward swiftly and with practiced familiarity.

Deng Mingxi, on the other hand, was initially somewhat confused and fearful.

However, her mental resilience was strong, and she quickly adapted. Following Wang Wan, she flew toward the center of the black-and-white space.

Li Fan pondered for a moment and then followed along.

During the flight, Li Fan noticed that this place was different from the location where the Tianxuan Mirror had manifested its own mirrored subspace in his previous life.

It was not as vast and seemed relatively independent, yet faintly interconnected.

“The essence remains the Tianxuan Mirror, but their functions differ,” Li Fan thought, gaining sudden clarity.

It didn’t take long before they reached the very center of the black-and-white space.

There, countless intersecting lines formed a suspended platform.

At this moment, Deng Mingxi and Wang Wan landed on the platform.

The lines beneath their feet became extremely chaotic, splitting into countless fine black threads that extended downward like tiny tendrils, connecting to the ground below.

The scene looked somewhat eerie.

After a moment of contemplation, Li Fan imitated their actions.

In the next second, his vision once again became colorful and radiant.

Countless characters cascaded down like a waterfall before his eyes, finally forming several small lines of text:

“Cultivator [Li Fan] has connected.”

“Please demonstrate the divine ability you wish to deduce within your Sea of Consciousness.”

“Based on the current cultivation level of Cultivator [Li Fan], the upper limit for the divine ability deduction power is set at the [Soul Transformation] level.”

“Remaining deduction time…”

The last line displayed a continuously ticking countdown, showing only ten hours remaining.

Before the Tianxuan Mirror, it was necessary to maintain some reservations.

However, this opportunity was hard to come by, so maximizing the benefit was equally essential.

That astonishing [Chaos] character divine ability definitely could not be revealed.

After pondering for a moment, Li Fan made up his mind.

“The spatial structure of this Tianxuan Mirror space is extremely similar to the root of the heaven and earth.”

“If my guess is correct, it is analyzing the birth process of the world.”

“In that case…”

With a thought, various insights about the [Reverse Five Elements Birth and Annihilation Sword] surged into Li Fan’s mind.

The [Reverse Five Elements Creation-Destruction Sword] was a divine ability Li Fan had comprehended by building upon the Great Five Elements Annihilation Sword, adding his own understanding of the Path of Creation and Destruction.

However, he was only at the Nascent Soul stage, and his understanding of the Path of Creation and Destruction was still relatively shallow.

After all, his innate talent and comprehension were not as formidable as his clone Xu Bai’s.

Since comprehending it, the technique had not seen much practical use.

For the most part, he still treated it as an Annihilation Sword.

As for the creative function of “creation,” it was currently limited to trivial uses like forming spiritual stones in his palm—something extremely unimpressive.

“I hope this brings me some surprises,” Li Fan thought.

He noticed that as he meditated on the divine ability comprehension of the [Reverse Five Elements Creation-Destruction Sword] in his mind, the lines connected to the platform under his feet swayed as if brushed by a gentle breeze.

The black color of the lines grew increasingly dense, as if something was being transmitted.

After just a brief moment, the feedback from the Tianxuan Mirror arrived.

Countless scenes flashed before Li Fan’s eyes in an instant.

He vaguely witnessed the birth process of the Five Elements Cave-Heaven, followed by countless overlapping images appearing simultaneously. They rose from the ground to the sky, forming a giant tree with countless branches.

Li Fan stood at the base of the tree, about to make a crucial decision.
