Time passed with each breath, and in the fleeting moment when day and night intertwined, dusk arrived.
The once tranquil Tianshui Pool suddenly began to flicker with a dim azure light, causing everyone present to tense up.
"There's something below."
Inside Shui Wuya's spiritual world, Xie yan unexpectedly spoke up. Among the Five Great Spirits, his spiritual perception was the strongest.
However, before Xie yan could finish speaking, a fiercely shimmering blue beam suddenly shot out from the pool's bottom.
In the instant the beam passed over Shui Wuya, it forcefully dragged his body into the water!
Witnessing this sudden turn of events, everyone from the Tianshui Sect was dumbfounded, especially the Sect Master Mo Lihai, who had never imagined such a situation!
"Clan Leader!"
Mo Lihai exclaimed, releasing his spiritual power to try to sense the situation in the pool.
However, Mo Lihai's spiritual power, upon touching the water's surface, was immediately absorbed as if it had disappeared into thin air!
The other elders of the TIanshui Sect also tried to intervene, but like Mo Lihai, they were unable to perceive anything.
For a moment, cold sweat flowed down the faces of everyone from the Tianshui Sect, and fear gripped their hearts. Could they have caused the death of their clan leader?!
...
After just a few moments, Shui Wuya, enveloped by the beam of light and plunged into a chaotic sensation, opened his eyes at the bottom of the water.
As soon as he released his spiritual power, clarity returned to his consciousness, and the Five Great Spirits appeared around him.
"What a peculiar palace."
With their sights fixed on the center of the underwater palace, where an ancient palace constructed of millennium ice crystals stood, Ice Emperor voiced his confusion.
"There's the aura of the Ice God above."
As the former leader of the Ice Tortoise Clan who had once followed the Ice God, Baishan was extremely sensitive to the Ice God's aura.
Upon hearing this, Shui Wuya decided to enter the palace for a closer look. Before entering, he glanced up at the water's surface.
He saw the panicked members of the Tianshui Sect, but it was evident that they couldn't see him at the moment.
Then, Shui Wuya released a burst of spiritual power to investigate.
He found that there was a barrier at the edge of this underwater world, obviously blocking the Tianshui Sect members' vision!
Shortly after, Shui Wuya and the Five Great Spirits entered the ancient palace. The palace's doors opened slowly, as if welcoming its master.
The interior of the palace was spacious, with two empty crystal thrones in front and a crystal platform in the center, upon which leaned a bronze mirror.
Shui Wuya approached to examine it and found the bronze mirror dull and lifeless.
As he subconsciously reached out to touch the bronze mirror, the Ice God artifact hidden inside his storage soul device suddenly flew out on its own, emitting a dazzling azure light!
In the instant the ancient bronze mirror was illuminated by the azure light, a terrifying soul device wave erupted from it!
"It's the Ice God's Mirror, a soul device specially crafted by the Ice God himself!"
Baishan exclaimed excitedly, recognizing the origin of the bronze mirror. Obviously, he had seen this item in the Ice God's hands years ago.
While Shui Wuya and the others were still puzzled, the bronze mirror continued to emit ripples of spatial distortion. A vast world scene then appeared in the hall.
It was a grand and majestic world.
There were deities flying in the sky, gigantic unknown beasts roaming the land, and the world was filled with extremely rich spiritual energy and vitality.
"The Divine Realm? Or an illusion?"
As Shui Wuya looked at the image released by the bronze mirror, he felt somewhat surprised, unsure whether the content on the screen was real or not.
Then, Shui Wuya released a burst of soul power into the Ice God's Mirror.
To his surprise, Shui Wuya effortlessly gained control of the Ice God's Mirror!
The sensation was as if he had crafted the soul device himself!
Shui Wuya soon discovered that once he controlled the Ice God's Mirror, he only needed to think of what he wanted to see, and the mirror would display it.
In an instant, the scene displayed by the Ice God's Mirror changed to a blood-red temple exuding a murderous aura.
The Asura Temple!
At a glance, Shui Wuya saw a sinister man in blood-red robes seated on a blood-colored throne in the Asura Temple.
"Tang San, it's really him!"
Shui Wuya's gaze turned cold as he recognized the identity of the Asura God—it was still Tang San!
At the same time, Tang San, seated atop the blood-red throne, suddenly raised his head and looked up at the sky with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
"Strange, could it be that someone in the Divine Realm is spying on me?"
Tang San's lips moved slightly as he muttered to himself in a voice only he could hear.
Shui Wuya did not hear Tang San's voice. This was his first time controlling the Ice God's Mirror, and he was curious.
As his thoughts continued to change, the major temples of the Divine Realm, known to him, appeared in succession on the mirror. He also saw the figures of many gods.
Finally, the Ice God's Mirror released the image of the Ice God's Temple.
In the scene, Shui Bing'er was floating alone above the temple, her eyes closed in meditation, surrounded by a rippling aquamarine halo.
"Bing'er."
Shui Wuya subconsciously called out. This was his first time seeing Shui Bing'er after she became a god, still as graceful and charming as she was ten thousand years ago.
However, in the instant Shui Wuya's voice fell, Shui Bing'er in the image suddenly opened her eyes!
The gazes of both parties seemed to cross the barriers of time and space and met!
After a moment, a naive and innocent smile appeared on Shui Bing'er's face, shocking Shui Wuya to his core!
"This... how is this possible?!"
Shui Wuya was thunderstruck, his eyes filled with astonishment.
The smile on Shui Bing'er's face at this moment was something he had only seen on her face ten thousand years ago!
Then, Shui Wuya quickly thought of the various changes that had occurred in the past few days. First, there was news from the Divine Realm about unusual movements in the Heavenly Water Pool.
Then, Shui Wuya arrived at the Tianshui Sect and was brought into this underwater world by the blue light beam in the Tianshui Pool.
Finally, the Ice God artifact flew out on its own, activating the long-sealed Ice God's Mirror, revealing the scene of the Divine Realm!
Connecting all these events together, Shui Wuya found everything too coincidental, as if it had been arranged by someone behind the scenes!
After a dozen or so moments of contemplation, Shui Wuya became convinced that the Ice God's Mirror was specially prepared by Shui Bing'er for him to monitor the Divine Realm!
At the same time, in the Asura Temple, the Sea God once again intruded uninvited.
"Asura, the seal of the Golden Dragon King has begun to loosen. Both the benevolent and evil gods hope that you can go to the Dragon God Forbidden Land to reinforce the seal."
Upon entering the temple, the Sea God seemed familiar with him and explained his purpose.
