Li Fan’s split spirit merely stared at the strange mirror not far away.
"Not only does it look similar, but even the aura..."
With a fragment of the Tianxuan Mirror’s primordial power by his side, Li Fan was extremely familiar with the Tianxuan Mirror.
However, that small, strange mirror gave him the feeling as if it were the twin brother of the Tianxuan Mirror!
Li Fan’s mind was shaken, and his thoughts rapidly turned.
"The Tianxuan Mirror, once known as the Mysterious Mirror. It was obtained by the King of Mystic Sky from the ascension passage during the era of the Mystic Sky Sect and is an artifact of the Immortal World."
"Then what is this one before me?"
In that instant, Li Fan couldn’t help but entertain the thought of stepping forward to investigate.
But after a moment’s consideration, he finally stopped himself.
This black Tianxuan Mirror always gave him an inexplicably uneasy feeling.
Li Fan decided to just observe the changes for now.
Drip, drip, the blood falling on the mirror surface didn’t stop. Sun Luyuan’s face had turned somewhat pale, but he still showed no sign of stopping.
Li Fan even saw fear in his eyes, as well as his arms trembling slightly, trying to retract.
But, for some reason, he couldn’t control his own actions.
Not until the mirror surface erupted with a strange fluctuation did Sun Luyuan collapse to the ground as if he was drained.
After swallowing several elixirs and adjusting his breathing, his complexion returned to normal.
Sun Luyuan eyed the small mirror in front of him that emitted faint ghostly lights, a flicker of greed and fear passing through his eyes.
It was unknown what he was thinking.
It was quite a while before his rigid body started to move again.
He took out another small mirror from his bosom.
Adjusting the angle of the mirror surface, he faced it against the black small mirror.
This newly taken out one was naturally the Small Tianxuan Mirror.
Li Fan clearly saw wisps of green light being extracted from the surface of the Small Tianxuan Mirror and then flowing into the black small mirror.
After absorbing from the Small Tianxuan Mirror, the black mirror seemed to increasingly resemble the Tianxuan Mirror.
Sun Luyuan seemed to be timing it.
After a while, while the black mirror was still absorbing, his expression changed slightly, and he quickly performed a hand seal to retract the Small Tianxuan Mirror.
How could the ravenous black mirror let go?
A gust of black mist suddenly emerged from the mirror surface, transforming into a human figure, and roared at Sun Luyuan, "Not enough!"
"I need to eat more!"
Powerful fluctuations surged from the Black Mirror Human Figure, like a storm sweeping through the entire secret room.
Sun Luyuan clenched his teeth, insisting on retracting the Small Tianxuan Mirror.
Meanwhile, he said to the Black Mirror Human Figure, "Little brother, control your heart! Absorbing too quickly could alert the Tianxuan Mirror, and then all our efforts would be wasted."
After hearing Sun Luyuan’s words, the Black Mirror Human Figure seemed to regain a trace of sanity.
Its shape continuously wavered, as if struggling against itself.
After a period of struggle, it finally suppressed its inner desire.
"Brother, it’s too painful..."
"Brother, I can’t hold on."
"Brother, let me out!"
Crying, pleading, hating...
All these emotions appeared in turn on the Black Mirror Human Figure.
But no matter its attitude, each sentence always began with "Brother".
And Sun Luyuan also seemed tormented by these cries.
In the end, he could only close his eyes and once again irrigate it with his own blood essence to calm the grievances of the Black Mirror Human Figure.
After receiving the blood essence, the Black Mirror returned to calmness.
Sun Luyuan felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted and collapsed to the ground, showing no signs of the demeanor of a Unity Path Expert.
Only after a considerable half day did he recover.
Standing in front of the Black Mirror again, he chanted silently.
As Sun Luyuan manipulated it, a radiance blossomed from the Black Mirror.
Within it, countless characters and images flashed rapidly.
Sun Luyuan watched eagerly and intently, afraid to miss any detail.
Until the end, the brightness of the image gradually dimmed until it finally disappeared.
Sun Luyuan reluctantly withdrew his gaze.
"This time’s gains are enough for our Sun Family to tide over this crisis," he said.
"Once Lu Er comes out of the Law Enforcement Hall and takes up a key position in the Immortal Alliance, only then can our Sun Family truly be considered as having a firm footing with our Four-in-One Dao."
Sun Luyuan muttered to himself.
Li Fan’s Split, who had been watching the whole process, had deduced something significant.
"Not an Immortal Instrument? But rather, using a human Divine Soul as a basis and a Secret Technique to erode the Tianxuan Mirror? In order to obtain a vast amount of information that cannot be obtained by normal means?"
"Even if it’s not an Immortal Instrument, being able to invade the Tianxuan Mirror is still extremely formidable."
Li Fan looked towards Sun Luyuan, who seemed greatly weakened.
The other was healing while apparently digesting the information just obtained from the Black Mirror.
"With only one of my splits thinking about controlling him..."
"I am not entirely sure, especially with that strange Black Mirror by his side."
After much deliberation, Li Fan’s Split decided not to take immediate action.
Instead, he chose to lie low first.
He would wait until Sun Luyuan separated from the Black Mirror and then slowly make his move.
Another seven days passed.
When Sun Luyuan opened his eyes, the first thing he did was to quickly seal the Black Mirror in the secret room.
Feeling Sun Luyuan’s actions, the foggy human figure in the Black Mirror struggled to emerge.
But it was firmly sealed within the mirror, unable to escape.
Once the turmoil subsided, Sun Luyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
He opened the heavy restrictions and left the secret room.
A moment later.
Li Fan’s Split silently flew next to the Black Mirror.
"The material of this mirror body..."
"It seems not to be crafted in the Xuanhuang World."
"It seems the guess that it’s an Immortal Instrument might not be entirely incorrect."
"Only the Primordial Power of the Immortal Path has gone to unknown realms, leaving only the empty shell that is occupied by the human figure."
With Li Fan’s current knowledge, after a careful observation, he indeed made some discoveries.
To verify his conjecture, the Split began to study the seal left by Sun Luyuan.
"Hmm? It has some elements of an Immortal Level Formation. But it’s too crude."
The main body called for support from the Final Separation Disk, and it didn’t take long to decipher it.
Li Fan’s Split then didn’t immediately destroy the seal but gradually modified it.
"Brother, why did you come back so quickly this time?"
"Did you encounter some difficulties again? Hahaha..."
The somewhat maniacal voice came from within the mirror.
Li Fan didn’t respond but continued modifying the Array Technique seal. 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓅𝓊𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
The figure talked to itself for a while before it finally sensed something was wrong.
"You’re not brother?"
"Who are you?"
The voice was filled with anger and panic.
"Disgusting thing, stay away from me!"
The figure screamed, and the Black Mirror trembled incessantly.
"Noisy!" Li Fan snorted coldly.
A silver bolt of lightning appeared from the void and then harshly struck the Black Mirror.
The material of the mirror, forged of unknown material, produced a trace of char.
The figure’s scream was also interrupted by a cry of pain.
After a moment of silence, the figure seemed to regain its senses.
"You..."
Just as it was about to erupt again, it was met with another bolt of lightning.
