Chapter 303: First Encounter with the Tianxuan Mirror

"The opportunity only comes once; you must seize it."

Ji Hongdao's tone was extremely serious.

The students all understood that such an opportunity might only come once in a lifetime. Even with a good mindset, they couldn't help but feel anxious and excited.

In front of everyone, Ji Hongdao took out a communication charm, seemingly contacting someone.

After a moment, he nodded and ended the communication. He took out a small Tianxuan mirror from his storage ring and tossed it into the air, suspending it above everyone's heads. Then, he took out a silver jade slip and gently crushed it.

Instantly, numerous chaotic characters emerged from the jade slip. Ji Hongdao formed a hand seal, and those characters, following a specific order, flew towards the Tianxuan mirror suspended in the air.

Li Fan squinted. He saw segments of text rapidly flashing on the surface of the Tianxuan mirror.

As the characters continued to change, the seemingly ordinary Tianxuan mirror underwent a peculiar transformation after absorbing the words from the jade slip.

The outline of the mirror emitted a faint glow and began to dissolve and disappear.

The mirror surface lost its constraints, starting to rapidly expand in all directions.

In the blink of an eye, a palm-sized mirror turned into a huge door, a hundred zhang high and thirty zhang wide.

On the towering and wide mirror surface, there was no reflection of the surrounding scenery, only streams of silver light flowing.

As everyone marveled at the changes before them, Ji Hongdao flew to the front of the mirror and cast a spell.

A silver beam of light shot out from the mirror, enveloping Ji Hongdao.

For an instant, a segment of characters appeared and disappeared on the mirror surface.

Seemingly confirming Ji Hongdao's identity, the beam of light dimmed. Following that, a black streak appeared at the center of the mirror surface.

In an instant, it expanded to cover the entire mirror surface.

A rectangular spatial passage appeared in front of everyone.

"This is..."

"Any mirror image created by any Tianxuan mirror can open a spatial transfer? It seems to require dual confirmation of passwords and personnel." Li Fan speculated based on the previous scenes.

"Follow me. After passing the Tianxuan mirror's identity verification, you can enter the passage."

After saying this, Ji Hongdao took the lead and flew into the passage.

With an excited mood, the students eagerly approached.

Whenever someone was about to reach the passage, a silver beam of light descended from above, locking onto them.

There were no abnormalities, only the beam of light disappearing suddenly, indicating a successful verification.

"This seems to be similar to the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Array." Li Fan thought as he followed everyone into the spatial passage.

A sudden dizziness struck.

It felt extremely similar to long-distance teleportation, as if time and space were being stretched, and perception was distorted.

In the next moment, it felt like tearing out of a thin film enveloping the entire body.

Li Fan fell into a strange space.

All colors vanished in an instant, and everything in sight was gray and white.

Black lines whizzed past from a distant horizon, brushing against the bodies of the people, some even passing through them, rushing towards the infinite distance.

White lines shot out from above or from the abyss below, heading in the opposite direction.

Occasionally, black and white lines collided, intertwining with each other, eventually forming a void point.

The duration of these void points varied.

Some lasted for moments, and others persisted for several breaths but eventually dissipated completely.

Just as everyone was stunned, watching this somewhat surreal and fantastical scene before them.

Their heads suddenly felt dizzy, and their perspective suddenly soared.

They saw, in this almost boundless and vast world.

The black and white lines seemed to have no rules, yet they seemed to follow some kind of order, moving rapidly. 

Colliding, blending.

Void points were born and extinguished in constant flickering.

...

Lost in this beautiful scene, it took a long time for everyone to return to normal.

"It is said that all the secrets in the world are hidden in this black and white. Unfortunately, my aptitude is dull, and I cannot comprehend it." Ji Hongdao's regretful voice sounded in everyone's ears.

"Let's go; the new mirror surface is right ahead."

Ji Hongdao casually grabbed a passing black line, and in an instant, his figure disappeared from everyone's sight, following the black line.

Seeing this, the students also imitated, grabbing the black lines passing by them.

As if merging with the black lines, the originally high-speed gray world also slowed down in Li Fan's eyes.

Moving towards the distant target, encountering white lines moving in different directions.

These white lines seemed to have a self-consciousness, actively avoiding collisions.

Li Fan hitched a ride, marveling at the scenery along the way.

After who knows how long, they arrived at the edge of this gray and white world.

The black lines faded and disappeared, and one by one, everyone returned to their original appearance.

Ahead was a rainbow halo that clashed sharply with the gray and white world.

It seemed like they had been here for a long time, and due to the lack of color, Li Fan unexpectedly felt a nauseating and repulsive sensation when he saw the churning and twisting colors not far away.

Gray and white collided and rubbed against colors.

Although no sound was emitted, Li Fan could feel two powerful forces competing and shaking the space.

In the clash, a part of the colorful light group seemed to be cut off by the gray.

Deprived of its original color, it became dull and floated quietly on the edge of space.

After a long time, a faint flash simultaneously appeared on them.

Originally gray and white, they slowly became somewhat crystalline and translucent.

Ji Hongdao didn't speak, but all the students understood that what they were witnessing was the birth process of the Tianxuan Mirror's new mirror surface.

All focused their minds, diligently comprehending.

However, Li Fan was slightly stunned, first examining his surroundings, then sensing his own body.

He involuntarily fell into contemplation.

Time seemed to accelerate.

Lights continued to flicker, and the gray color vanished.

One after another, new mirror surfaces were born.

Some stayed in place after birth, while others suddenly disappeared, their destination unknown.

But overall, the majority floated on the edge of the gray world.

The number of mirror surfaces accumulated.

Finally, at a certain moment.

Countless black and white fine lines surged towards the new mirror surfaces from the gray world.

Black and white intertwined, like the most exquisite loom, quickly weaving garments for these newborns.

When the mirror surface was completely covered by the black and white lines' weaving.

Black and white, in an instant, merged into one.

A sphere with an extremely smooth surface, flowing with chaotic black and white colors, appeared suddenly.

"This is the core of the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Array." Ji Hongdao's voice sounded perfectly at the right time.

"Have you all seen it clearly?"

The voice instantly drifted away.

All the surrounding scenes froze.

Everything shattered.
