NOVPUB"A dynasty created by mortals who were exiled to Small World back then. It might involve the intervention of an unknown powerful entity, as the civilization’s development speed is completely illogical."
"Perhaps it’s related to the group of people from Immortal Dao Ten Clans who fled the Xuanhuang World before the Great Calamity."
"After initial judgment, we cannot rule out the possibility that important members within the Immortal Alliance have already been infiltrated."
…
Sun Luyuan scrutinized these fragments of text, his brows tightly furrowed.
The Sacred Dynasty Daqi was extremely mysterious, and it was still unknown which Small World they were hiding in. The Tianxuan Mirror had merely made assumptions about their approximate strength based on the movements of the Sacred Dynasty Daqi’s operatives within the Xuanhuang World.
"It is just a pity that we could not capture the complete reasoning foundation of the Tianxuan Mirror, only sporadic data fragments."
Sun Luyuan couldn’t help feeling somewhat regretful.
However, he still had great faith in the judgment of the Tianxuan Mirror.
As the operational foundation of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, the Tianxuan Mirror was constantly receiving an unimaginable amount of data. Even for cultivators, let alone beings in the Immortal Realm, processing so much data at the same time would probably lead to delays. But the Tianxuan Mirror not only managed to deal with everything flawlessly but could even make some level of prediction about the future based on the current information it held.
Yet, for these "unhappened matters," aside from his own knowledge, the Tianxuan Mirror could not offer any advice or take any measures.
Sun Luyuan initially didn’t understand this.
However, it was during one conversation with the Mirror Handler Fu that he began to comprehend the mystery.
"The Alliance of Thousands of Immortals is ruled by people, not by a mirror. No matter how miraculous, it is nothing more than an object. If it could make decisions without our consent, what would be our position? Once such a precedent is set, wouldn’t the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals fall into disarray?"
"As for why even Its judgment cannot be taken lightly…"
Mirror Handler Fu fell silent for a long time before speaking somberly, "There can’t be any major chaos in the Xuanhuang World. No matter what happens, it cannot shake our position."
"The judgment of Tianxuan Mirror is purely rational. Long ago, we also tried to utilize more of Tianxuan Mirror’s capabilities to better manage the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals. But…"
Mirror Handler Fu paused: "Heh, it actually started making suggestions about us."
"It’s best to just be an ’object’."
Sun Luyuan understood that the actual rulers of the Immortal Alliance, that group of people, would never allow the Tianxuan Mirror to have authority over them. They had to always maintain a firm hold on power. After all, the Tianxuan Mirror was just an object; whether it could be fully trusted was still an unknown.
After thinking for a long time, Sun Luyuan’s heart which was originally full of eagerness, calmed down once more.
"The Immortal Alliance has ruled for so many years with such deep and unimaginable roots. Moreover, with Celestial Dharma Bearer, that revered elder, suppressing everything, it’s not so easy to shake, is it?" Sun Luyuan thought, finding the notion that had just emerged in his mind incredulous.
"However, nothing is absolute."
Recalling everything he had seen in the routine operations of the Immortal Alliance, his confidence was invisibly shaken once more.
"For now, just observe. Sacred Dynasty Daqi…"
"If it really has that momentum, it’s not too late to make a decision when the time comes."
After all, as the head of the family, every move he made affected the lives and wellbeing of hundreds, so he had to be extra cautious.
Pressing the related information deep into his Spirit Consciousness, Sun Luyuan then began to worry about his younger brother’s situation.
His brother’s expression of pain had indeed made Sun Luyuan quite concerned.
Meanwhile, Sun Luyao seemed to slowly recover from the endless torment.
"Brother, I’m all right. For you, for our Sun Family, I can hold on a while longer." Sun Luyao said with a pained smile.
A tremor ran through Sun Luyuan’s heart; he had a thousand words to say, but they all turned into silence when he tried to speak.
"By the way, brother, you just mentioned that Lord Fu’s task for us is to find the Tianxuan Mirror’s human incarnation? What’s that about?"
It had been quiet in the underground secret chamber for some time until Sun Luyao finally broke the silence.
Sun Luyuan then began to explain, "Lord Fu has discovered that another Mirror Handler, Cang, seems to be scheming something in secret. Cang is part of the radical faction among the Mirror Handlers and has always advocated for stricter restrictions on the Tianxuan Mirror. But his attitude has recently become somewhat wavering."
"Lord Fu judges that Cang’s anomaly may be related to the Tianxuan Mirror’s incarnation." 𝔫𝖔𝔳𝔭𝔲𝔟.𝖈𝔬𝔪
Sun Luyao seemed to have difficulty understanding, "…How did he come to that conclusion?"
Sun Luyuan shook his head, "That, I do not know; perhaps Lord Fu knows something else that he did not make clear to me."
"Although it’s purely speculative, since he has given the order, we must complete it."
"Fortunately, he also knows the task is extremely difficult, so he has not been too demanding."
Sun Luyuan snorted coldly.
He then looked at Sun Luyao, "It’s just going to be tough on you again."
Sun Luyao did not reply.
A moment later, he spoke quietly, "Then let’s begin. While I still feel good."
Sun Luyuan’s expression was complex as he nodded, then reached into his chest to pull out a Small Tianxuan Mirror.
It faced the Immeasurable Black Mirror from afar.
An invisible force suddenly descended in the underground secret chamber, as if a passage formed between the two mirrors. Numerous lights and shadows, mixed with strands of green light, followed the passage and were absorbed into the Immeasurable Black Mirror.
Sun Luyao’s blurred figure began to grow increasingly unstable.
His gaze towards the Tianxuan Mirror showed an uncontrollable greed, but in a flash, he suppressed that greed.
As his expression kept changing, the Small Tianxuan Mirror absorbed more and more information.
Sun Luyuan, somewhat nervously, constantly monitored the changes in the room.
Seeing that it was about the same time as before, he considered putting the Small Tianxuan Mirror away.
"Brother, wait a bit longer!"
Sun Luyuan hesitated.
Because the longer they probed the Tianxuan Mirror, the higher the possibility of being detected. A long duration was not as safe as multiple short attempts.
But the next moment, Sun Luyao’s words sent a shock through him.
"The human incarnation, it really exists."
"Brother, give me more time! I’ve already found some clues!"
Unexpectedly smooth progress made Sun Luyuan feel an elation.
But then he thought, could this just be an excuse that his brother made up to devour more of the meeting?
After all, this wouldn’t be the first time he had done such a thing.
"Trust me, brother!"
The telepathic connection between the biological siblings prompted Sun Luyao to speak up, dispelling Sun Luyuan’s doubts.
Sun Luyuan gritted his teeth and, in the end, did not put the Small Tianxuan Mirror away.
