The heavens start from Quanzhen swordsmanship

When the Devouring Ancestor, the Water Lord Ancestor, and the Time and Space Ancestor saw Xu Zhiqing, they went straight into the small door.

The three of them looked at each other in confusion.

Then they reacted and immediately wanted to go over and take a look.

However, when they tried to go through, the small door suddenly closed.

This surprised the three people.

Xu Zhiqing stood behind the small door of the third level, gazing at the interwoven matrix of laws and the dynamically folded space ahead.

He had previously noticed that Patriarch Yang Mei was trapped in a light curtain and was fighting a fierce battle with a mirror image, while the mirrors appearing on the surrounding walls were projecting the battle scene in real time.

After a brief thought, he realized that the test of this level lies in the ultimate understanding of the laws.

Otherwise, Patriarch Yangmei would not have collected the other laws and not used them.

He looked at the changing laws in front of him and whispered, "It seems that I must face my own reflection..."

He raised his hand to recall the diamond-shaped mirror floating on the light curtain. He tapped the mirror lightly with his fingertips, and countless fine rune chains suddenly appeared in the mirror.

These runes were the control core that he analyzed from the crystal mirror in the first level. At this moment, he activated them in reverse, and the mirror surface suddenly expanded into a light gate.

"Since brute force alone cannot break through, then I will give him a taste of his own medicine."

Xu Zhiqing thought of the Hall of All Worlds and directly opened the light gate to inject the aura of the Hall of All Worlds into the mirror. Bronze ripples spread out from the mirror surface.

The originally closed folded space was actually eroded by ripples, leaving cracks, revealing the threads of laws flowing behind it.

He formed seals with his hands, and the chaotic spiritual power transformed into three thousand silk threads that pierced into the cracks. Each thread was entangled with the aura of a different law.

The mirrors on the wall suddenly shook violently, and three of the mirrors cracked.

Xu Zhiqing took the opportunity to refine the cracked lens into a crystal core the size of a finger joint, and raised his hand to hit it into the light curtain.

The moment the crystal core touched the light curtain, the movement of the mirror image that had just appeared with his appearance suddenly slowed down.

"It's now!"

He jumped into the light gate he opened.

The moment he entered, the scene around him suddenly changed, and countless phantoms of Xu Zhiqing rose from the ground of the matrix.

But he was prepared. The shadow of the Hall of All Worlds that appeared in his palm suddenly expanded and swallowed up the attacking shadow.

These phantoms collided and melted on the bronze walls of the hall, transforming into pure power of laws and feeding back to themselves.

Xu Zhiqing stood in the center of the matrix, enjoying the infusion of the laws of space, a smile on his face.

Soon after, a key appeared in the upper center of the matrix.

When Xu Zhiqing saw the key, he murmured, "It is as expected."

The real way to pass the third level is never to defeat the mirror image, but to use the mirror image to refine the laws and finally condense the key to unlock the core.

All of Xu Zhiqing's actions were seen by the Ancestors Devouring, Shuijun and Shichen.

Because of the surrounding walls, the light can be emitted.

"So that's how it is. Fellow Daoist Xu is helping us figure out how to get through the level!"

The Devouring Ancestor spoke first.

"I'll try it first!"

"You guys wait a moment."

After saying this, the Devouring Ancestor rushed straight in.

He looked at the law light curtain and dynamically folded space in front of him, and a trace of greed and caution flashed in his eyes.

From this, as long as you operate well, you can understand deeper principles.

As for his caution, it was because he had previously caught a glimpse of Elder Yang Mei being trapped in a light curtain and fighting a fierce battle with his mirror image.

Know that mirroring is not that easy to deal with.

He recalled Xu Zhiqing's previous operating methods. Although he could not learn from them, he could still refer to them.

"No matter what, brute force alone won't work..."

He whispered to himself, and a dark vortex appeared on his palm. It was his innate magical power - the law of devouring.

He did not attack the light curtain directly, but transformed the devouring power into fine threads, which quietly seeped into the hexagonal law matrix spread on the ground.

Each thread moves like a living thing, accurately entwining the fragments of darkness and corrosion laws that match itself, silently eroding the energy supply of the level.

As the devouring power spread, slight fluctuations appeared in the folded space of the third level.

After the Devouring Ancestor noticed it keenly, he suddenly attacked!

He suddenly opened his huge mouth, and the shadow of the Sky-Swallowing Toad appeared behind him, and a violent suction force swept out.

The threads of law surrounding the light curtain were forcibly torn apart, and the folded space was twisted and shattered like torn silk.

However, the backlash of the level also followed, and countless mirror images poured out from the broken parts. They were all copies of the Devouring Ancestor himself, and each of them rushed over with a hideous grin.

"Humph, I'm waiting for you!"

The Devouring Ancestor was well prepared and threw out three crystal mirror fragments from his sleeves.

This was the unrefined mirror fragment that he had secretly hidden during the first level.

The fragments exploded in the air, and the refracted light and shadow caused the mirror movement to be delayed momentarily.

He took the opportunity to condense the devouring power into a cone shape and stabbed it hard into the weakest point of the light curtain.

"I swallow it!"

The Devouring Ancestor roared, and the entire light curtain shattered like glass, turning into light spots of laws all over the sky that were sucked into his stomach.

His aura continued to rise, and a look of pain appeared on his face. Forcibly swallowing the core of the level caused the laws in his body to run wild.

The Devouring Ancestor staggered a few steps, suddenly knelt down and vomited out a cloud of chaotic mist, in which the shadow of a bronze coffin vaguely emerged.

"I ate too much..."

The Devouring Ancestor wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and took the core key.

He glanced blankly at the phantom of the bronze coffin. The phantom of the coffin made him feel vaguely uneasy, as if he had touched upon a secret that he should not pry into.

Ancestor Shichen and Ancestor Shuijun did not see the phantom of the bronze coffin, but only saw Ancestor Tuowu use some tricks to pass the level.

Now it's their turn.

"I'll go first!"

Patriarch Shichen was the first to find the small door and then went in.

Ancestor Shichen stood in the third level, a trace of thought flashed in his eyes. He had seen several people fighting with mirror images in the light curtain, so he needed to use some means.

The Old Ancestor of Shichen did not rush to act, but closed his eyes and concentrated, lightly tapping the void with his fingertips, and wisps of time laws flowed out like fine sand.

"Back in time!"

The old man of time let out a low roar, and an illusory shadow of a clock appeared around him.

He adopted the method of devouring the ancestor and did not attack the light curtain directly. Instead, he manipulated the laws of time to infiltrate into the hexagonal matrix spread on the ground.

Each strand of the law of time is entangled with the fragments of the law that match itself, quietly changing the flow of time within the level.

As the law of time spread, slight fluctuations appeared in the folded space of the third level.

Ancestor Shichen seized the opportunity and suddenly activated the law of time, slowing down the flow of time around the light curtain to almost stagnation.

The mirror image's movement was delayed for a moment, and Patriarch Yangmei took the opportunity to counterattack. Patriarch Shichen did not stop, he formed seals with both hands, and a huge clock shadow appeared behind him, and the hands reversed!

"Time mirror!"

Ancestor Shichen gave a light shout, and actually reproduced a phantom that was exactly the same as the mirror image outside the light curtain.

This phantom is not a physical entity, but a momentary picture captured from the future by him through the law of time.

The phantom and the mirror image were entangled, but the real Patriarch Yang Mei seized the flaw and defeated the mirror image in one fell swoop.

The moment the light curtain shattered, Old Ancestor Shichen groaned, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

He had a bitter smile on his face. Forcibly reversing time had caused him to suffer backlash. But he couldn't stop now.

The Old Ancestor of Time continued to take action, condensing the law of time into chains, entangling the gushing light spots of the law and sealing them in the long river of time.

"Daoyou Shichen, this method..."

Suicune outside was stunned and wanted to use the same method. It was so easy!

The old ancestor couldn't hear any sound inside, so he wiped off the blood.

He looked at the key that appeared, a hint of fatigue in his eyes.

It seemed that he had solved this level by taking advantage of a trick, but in fact his control over the laws of time had reached its limit.

When Patriarch Shuijun saw this, he chose to go in directly without waiting for the others to come out.

After Patriarch Shuijun went in to prepare, Xu Zhiqing walked out from the small door.

After he came out, he saw several people in the mirror.

Among them, the Devouring Ancestor and the Time Ancestor have actually successfully passed the level.

However, the two of them did not come out, but Pan Xi sat inside and practiced.

Or rather, it's recovering.

He saw that Patriarch Shichen seemed to be injured.

Facing the powerful enemies here, it is normal to get hurt.

Xu Zhiqing felt that if he didn't seek help from the Hall of All Worlds, he would probably be in a rather embarrassing situation.

He looked at the old man Shuijun.

Apart from Patriarch Yangmei, only Patriarch Shuijun has not yet made it through.

At this moment, the Water Lord took a deep breath, light blue ripples appeared around his body, and the origin of water laws in his body began to surge.

"I am the Water Law. It seems that this level cannot be broken through by brute force. So I will use softness to overcome hardness."

The old man Shuijun muttered to himself, formed seals with his hands, and the chaotic spiritual power transformed into countless fine water lines and penetrated into the hexagonal law matrix spread on the ground.

Each water line precisely wraps around the fragments of water laws that match itself, silently changing the flow of energy within the level.

When Xu Zhiqing outside saw this, his eyes lit up.

This method is very ingenious.

However, if Ancestor Devouring and Ancestor Time saw it, they could only say that Ancestor Shuijun became more skilled in using it after seeing them use it.

At this time, at Suicune's place, as the water law spread, slight fluctuations appeared in the folded space of the third level.

The Water Lord seized the opportunity without hesitation and suddenly activated the water laws, turning the space around the light curtain into a chaotic water area.

At this moment, all the mirror images were activated, but their movements were delayed for a moment, and Ancestor Shuijun seized the opportunity.

He clasped his hands together, and a huge shadow of the water god appeared behind him.

"Mirror image!"

The Shuijun Patriarch gave a light shout, and actually reproduced a phantom that was exactly the same as the mirror image outside the light curtain.

His method was also adopted from the methods of the Devouring Ancestor and the Time Ancestor, and he even referred to Xu Zhiqing.

This phantom is not a real entity, but a reflection of water that he separated from the mirror image through the laws of water.

At the moment when the phantom and the mirror image were entangled, he seized the opportunity again and defeated the mirror image in one fell swoop.

The moment the light curtain was broken, Ancestor Shuijun also felt uncomfortable.

Like Old Ancestor Shichen, he suffered some minor injuries.

However, he did not stop, but used the same method as the Devouring Ancestor and the Time Ancestor to condense the water law into a chain, entangled with the law light spots that gushed out...

Xu Zhiqing nodded slightly outside.

This old man, the Water Lord, just used the smallest means to do the most amazing thing.

He is indeed a smart person.

However, he felt that the Devouring Ancestor and the Time Ancestor were also quite powerful.

Both of them have now passed the ground checkpoint.

The only one who has not passed the level yet is Patriarch Yangmei.

It was obvious that Patriarch Yangmei was the first one to enter, but he was the last one to come out.

Xu Zhiqing looked at Patriarch Yangmei and discovered that the current Patriarch Yangmei had found a way to deal with the same method as him.

Sure enough, after a short while, Patriarch Yangmei integrated the mirror image into his own body.

Further improved the corresponding realm.

Patriarch Yangmei is now recovering from his injuries with a few others.

Seeing this, Xu Zhiqing thought for a moment, took out the key in his hand, and went to the core of the third level first.

Thinking of this, when he pushed open the small door outlined by the trajectory of the law, a chaotic light curtain suddenly unfolded before his eyes.

He stepped in without hesitation and was instantly teleported to the core of the third level.

This is a void square interwoven by countless threads of laws.

A huge diamond-shaped crystal is suspended in the center of the square, refracting thousands of lights, and each ray of light reflects fragments of different time and space.

Just as Xu Zhiqing was concentrating on observing, four figures walked out from the void one after another.

It’s just that their image doesn’t look very good.

And the injury doesn't seem to have fully recovered.

Patriarch Yang Mei's clothes were torn, and the laws of space around him had not yet subsided.

The Devouring Ancestor's nostrils were bleeding continuously, and there were still traces of tearing by the Devouring Power on his palms.

The face of the old man Shichen was pale, and the shadow of the clock behind him flickered.

The old man Shuijun was soaked all over, as if he had just escaped from the deep sea.

The four of them were all in a mess, but they showed surprise when they saw each other.

Unexpectedly, they all broke through.

However, after they saw Xu Zhiqing, they found that there was nothing wrong with Xu Zhiqing, and then they felt a little ashamed.

"Fellow Daoist Xu!"

Patriarch Yangmei spoke first, his voice hoarse, "I didn't expect you to be the first one to come in!"

He pointed at the constantly distorted mirrors at the edge of the square, where afterimages of their fights with their mirror images were still visible.

It turns out that the test of the third level is to make the intruder face the single law that he is best at, and break through the limit in the extreme confrontation.

The Devouring Ancestor wiped away the blood and grinned, "I was almost devoured by my own Devouring Law! That mirror image can even devour Chaos, it's simply weird!"

Ancestor Shichen and Ancestor Shuijun smiled.

Because both of them saw the miserable appearance of the Devouring Ancestor.

However, after the two people realized that they were both borrowing the method of Devouring Ancestor, they stopped laughing.

"Now that we've broken through, it's easy to talk about it."

"But if we go to the next level, it won't be very suitable."

"Our current situation is that we are all injured, and it will take time for us to recover."

The Devouring Ancestor even made a direct proposal.

"Let's retreat here to recover first, and consolidate the laws we have learned before!"

His words won the agreement of several people, and they all sat down to practice and recover. (End of this chapter)
