From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 265 The Brilliant World
The Mid-Autumn Festival is just a few days away.

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the bright moon hangs high in the sky, its celestial wheel resembling an inverted mirror, its clear light shining down upon the land.

The continuous mountain ridges of the Hundred Thousand Mountains in Lingzhou are also draped in a layer of silvery white gauze, making the whole world look like a fairyland.

You Ming looked up at all of this, knowing that there must be some kind of massive formation operating behind it, gathering a large amount of moonlight here.

He had never seen such a magnificent and grand moonlight anywhere else.

"Since ancient times, the Lingzhou region has been abuzz with the practices of 'borrowing the moon to nurture the Dharma' and 'refining the spirit by inheriting the radiance.' Now, the major immortal sects have set up thirty-six moon-drawing arrays and seventy-two mirror-element convergence points in the Ten Thousand Mountains, forming the 'Taiyin Returning to Origin Dharma Network.'"

"At this time of year, the [Imperial Dew] formed from the condensation of countless moonbeams can cleanse the bones and marrow of countless mortals, guide children to the path of Qi cultivation, and awaken the intelligence of many animals."

Chen Xiujie was originally from Lingzhou, so he naturally understood all of this.

Even though You Ming had witnessed many methods of the Immortal Realm, he was still quite surprised by the actions of these cultivators in Lingzhou.

However, he was still secretly a little annoyed.

Although the path of immortals values ​​privacy, setting up such an array to plunder the essence of moonlight means that other states will have much less of the power of moonlight to enjoy.

He came from a religious background, and such behavior was no different from parasitic worms to him.

However, he also knew that the merging of the immortal and divine paths would become more severe the higher one went.

It's not something a minor deity like myself can comment on.

Just as You Ming was feeling sentimental, suddenly, the world fell silent, and then everything that had been still began to move again.

A fine, glistening rain began to fall from the sky. These raindrops, formed from condensed moonlight, emitted a soft glow, appearing exceptionally beautiful in the darkness.

Some raindrops fell on You Ming's body. He felt that the yin and yang within his body were in harmony, all his orifices were clear and bright, and even his mind was tinged with a layer of clear and moist silver light, making him feel extremely peaceful and transparent.

This substance is the [Imperial Essence] formed from the condensation of moonlight.

Even a Dharma Aspect cultivator like You Ming could feel some benefit from it, so for ordinary people or beginners, it would be the most top-tier Foundation Establishment Medicine.

The moment the rain began to fall, countless rays of light rose from almost every mountain gate in Lingzhou, as people unleashed magical treasures or used supernatural powers to continuously gather the imperial nectar from the void.

Almost simultaneously, a sound like an ancient bell resounded from the depths of the heavens.

Before the sound waves subsided, the clouds suddenly began to swirl, and the moonlight condensed into a spiral in the high sky, transforming into a huge, invisible mirror.

The mirror was initially transparent, like a fragment of a crescent moon embedded in the void, and then gradually a silvery halo appeared, as if a realm with its own universe was slowly descending.

Countless cultivators in Lingzhou looked up and saw a vast landscape reflected in the mirror, like a condensed version of heaven and earth.

In the very center of the mirror stand was a floating island, suspended in the center of the moon disc, rotating silently.

Its immense size seems to stretch across the entire Lingzhou. From afar, it appears as if someone has plucked the Taiyin star from the sky, even stealing its true radiance.

This is the [Tai Xu Qing Jing Tai].

“Brother Youming, you will have no problem entering the [Tai Xu Qing Jing Tai], but the moment you enter, you can silently recite this incantation, which may be of some help to you.”

Looking at the enormous moon in the sky, Chen Xiujie felt a surge of excitement.

If one day I could also forge such a celestial artifact, how wonderful that would be.

However, he did not forget his role as a "guide." After finishing his reflections, he tugged at You Ming's sleeve and whispered something.

"The void is without shadow, the clear mirror is without dust; when a thought arises, all phenomena become real. The moonlight guides, the shadow connects with the divine; the form is hidden in illusion, the nature reflects its root..." Chen Xiujie transmitted these words to You Ming's ears through telepathy.

"This is?"

You Ming was somewhat puzzled; this passage seemed to be describing the [Tai Xu Qing Jing Tai].

"Oh, just remember that. Make sure to silently recite it in your mind when you enter the Clear Mirror Platform."

Chen Xiujie's eyes flickered slightly, but he thought that the rest of his sect would probably not participate in this sword fighting tournament, which emboldened him.

You Ming couldn't help but shake his head. This kid was acting strangely.

However, after spending the past few days with him, he realized that the boy was simple-minded and not likely to have any bad intentions.

Moreover, he also has a cheat code for [object clipping], so there is almost nowhere in the world that can trap him, so he has nothing to fear.

"The Pure Mirror Platform of the Great Void has been opened. Fellow Daoists, the opportunity is before you, why not seize it quickly!"

As the [Tai Xu Qing Jing Tai] became completely stable, another voice rang out, its sound like thunder shaking the valley, resounding in all directions.

In the blink of an eye, an old Taoist priest with white hair and beard appeared from afar. Although he was not tall, he seemed to be in harmony with heaven and earth, giving people an unparalleled power.

You Ming guessed that this person should be a cultivator in the upper three realms.

As his voice fell, countless flying shadows appeared, like stars falling from the sky, with various colored lights, cloud boats, magical treasures, demonic birds, and spirit beasts all taking off.

At a cursory glance, the number is no less than ten thousand.

It should be noted that these ten thousand rays of light are at least from cultivators of the Profound Light realm, and the most powerful ones may have even reached the Dharma Aspect realm or undergone tribulation.

And this is only a part of the cultivators in Lingzhou.

In comparison, the sects in Bingzhou are far too meager. It is estimated that all the Xuan Guang cultivators combined don't even amount to a thousand. A normal sect would only have a dozen or twenty people, and a Yin Shen cultivator would be considered a sect leader-level expert.

The difference in strength is too great.

As the radiant light gradually revealed shadows, some cultivators rode on the Five Elements Escape Light, instantly teleporting thousands of feet; others drove celestial chariots, roaring and clearing the way; still others rode flying beasts, flapping their wings and tearing through the sky, seemingly intending to leap into the Mirror Platform.

The countless cultivators in the sky reflected a magnificent world of cultivation.

However, as these people approached, beams of light rose from the mirror platform, transforming into nine layers of light rings, each seemingly blocked by an invisible barrier.

"Boom."

As the outermost ring of light spread, nearly one-fifth of the cultivators were blocked by the gentle force.

These cultivators either lacked the necessary qualifications or were too poor to meet even the most basic standards.

Of course, many cultivators were able to break through several barriers one after another and walk step by step into the interior of the mirror platform.

"Brother Youming, it's time for us to set off."

"Let me show you how it works!"

"Break through the barrier as quickly as possible."

As Chen Xiujie looked at the cultivators in the sky who were still breaking through layer by layer, a hint of fighting spirit flashed in his eyes.
