They won the Holy Grail War, but this turned out to be the Virtual Tree Universe.

Chapter 201 The Flawless Flying Light Mirror Flow
After leaving the Shence Mansion, Dan Lei did not return directly to the Chiming Clan's residence.

If I go back now, I'll have to go through a lot of back and forth to take over the Dragon Master Council, and there's no guarantee I'll succeed.

Although Dan Lei is already a Dragon Lord, he has no confidants in Luofu Chiming.

Under these circumstances, it is impossible to take over the Dragon Master Council without a reason.

Even if they use violence to beat and imprison all the Dragon Masters, they can still remotely command their confidants to hinder Luofu.

After all, Dan Lei couldn't just use the power of the Ten Kings Division to arrest someone without evidence, as the Ten Kings Division strictly adhered to the relevant regulations of the Immortal Ship and the Chiming Alliance.

He needed an excuse, an excuse that would convince the neutral Ming people.

An excuse for the Ten Kings to intervene.

This way, he could imprison the Dragon Masters and their cronies and have the Ten Kings' Office take charge of their care.

The excuse is Jianmu. As long as Jianmu grows up, I can easily accuse the Dragon Master Council of dereliction of duty.

Who told the Dragon Master Council to keep clamoring that it was managing the Brightness on behalf of the Dragon Lord?

The roots of the Jianmu tree, which should have been protected by the Dragon Lord, were naturally also the responsibility of the Dragon Masters.

It's useless for the Dragon Master to protect the Pearl People in this matter. They are the highest-ranking officials, and Dan Lei directly held them accountable, so they could only endure it.

In the game, after a series of events, Luo Fu already knows that the Star Core was placed there at Huan Long's behest.

It's understandable that the Dragon Masters couldn't stop an envoy from getting close to the roots of the Jianmu tree, so no one accused the Luofu Dragon Masters of this crime.

But this time, as long as Danlei plays well in terms of timing.

Before the Grand Dukes of Extinction are exposed on the surface, they launch an attack directly.

The Dragon Master Council is now unable to defend itself and is naturally to blame.

Therefore, Danlei cannot go back immediately. He must wait until the Jianmu tree grows before returning, otherwise he might end up taking the blame himself.

Of course, time is of the essence now, and Danlei cannot afford to waste time wandering around.

So, Danlei decided to first complete Jingyuan's task and then go find an ice queen to "chat".

If I'm not mistaken, this should be the time when the impetuous young Yanqing goes out to hunt down Ren on his own, starting the one-on-one journey of the Five Heroes of the Clouds.

Since the Yunqi Army's investigation of Ren ended at Liuyun Ferry, Yanqing is either on his way there or has already met his master.

Therefore, Dan Lei activated his stealth ability, took off from the spot, and headed straight for Liuyun Ferry.

Upon entering Liuyun Ferry, Yan Qing's sharp and undisguised power of destiny and soaring sword energy acted like a beacon in the darkness, revealing his location without any deliberate searching.

In the more than thirty years since Dan Lei left Luofu, his strength has improved dramatically.

As a true genius, Yanqing was naturally not idle either, especially when he heard that Danlei's achievements in the universe were constantly being reported back.

Driven by his competitive spirit, the young man trained even harder in his daily life than in the game, and often took the initiative to snatch business from the Ten Kings Division, using the most notorious criminals in Luofu to fulfill his hunting mission.

Therefore, compared to thirty years ago, Yanqing's swordsmanship and destiny power have made great progress.

Moreover, he was very clever; the soaring power of destiny and sword energy were clearly released by him on purpose.

Even if he couldn't completely suppress the dissipation of life force during the attack, given his control, it shouldn't have caused such a commotion.

Clearly, despite his youthful impetuosity, Yanqing, as Jingyuan's apprentice, still had a clear mind when it came to handling the situation afterward.

His monster-slaying contest with Jingliu had clearly entered its later stages. Yanqing, who realized he had misjudged Jingliu and was not someone to be trifled with, was issuing a warning and requesting help.

The spreading of destiny energy is an indication of the enemy's strength, while the sword energy is a sign that the battle is still ongoing, and that those with the strength are invited to come and provide support.

Unfortunately, Luofu had long since deviated from the game's storyline. Yan Qing was the only Cloud Rider deep within Liuyun Ferry, and even if the Cloud Riders on the outer perimeter sensed his hint, they wouldn't be able to get there in a short time.

Dan Lei, the only one who could get there, chose to stay on the sidelines and watch the show.

Watch as Yanqing pretends to be an innocent older sister to fool her own master, and then faces the ultimate move of Jingliu: "The ephemeral beauty of the ephemeral flower, the heavenly river pouring forth dreams."

Of course, Jingliu showed mercy to his grand-disciple here; the real version of this move is to unleash several ice blades with a single sword strike.

When attacking Yan Qing, Jing Liu accurately calculated his maximum combat power, only unleashing one ice blade, and it was highly likely that it wasn't at full power.

It's important to know that Jingliu is a true powerhouse at the Star-level.

The reason she said, "It would take a very, very long time to cut down the stars in the sky," is because "the stars in the sky" refers to fixed stars.

Fun fact: The vast majority of stars visible to the naked eye in the night sky are fixed stars.

Normally, exploding into a planet refers to exploding into a planet, and sometimes even into a satellite.

But Mirror Stream's goal is to cleave a star in two with a single sword strike, which is not a difficult task at all compared to cleaving a planet.

It should be noted that even the Great Lord of Annihilation, Fenfeng, detonates stars by penetrating them, not by slicing them in two with a single sword strike.

Fortunately, no matter what, Yanqing overcame Jingliu's murderous aura and used all her strength to cut through the ice blade he swung.

However, Jingliu also took this opportunity to steal the star raft navigation records that Yanqing had collected earlier.

After seeing the words on the ground, and knowing that Jingliu had taken away the evidence she had collected, Yanqing assumed that she was also going to find Ren.

So they hurried to the dock and summoned a starship to give chase.

However, what Yanqing didn't expect was that Jingliu didn't leave after taking his record and leaving words on the ground. Instead, she used her incredible speed as the Flying Light of Wuxia to hide behind a shipping container and conceal her aura.

Jingliu's pulse was already almost nonexistent, so when he suppressed his breath, Yanqing naturally couldn't detect it.

However, this was of little use to Dan Lei, who used his spiritual power to recognize people.

Of course, the reason Jingliu didn't leave was also because of Danlei.

After Yanqing piloted the immortal boat far away, Jingliu stepped out from behind the cargo container and spoke to Danlei's location.

“To spy in secret is not the act of a gentleman.”

After saying that, he unleashed a sword aura towards where Dan Lei was hiding.

Jingliu's sword strike was merely a test, so Danlei easily dodged it.

However, all the containers within a hundred meters behind Dan Lei were instantly cleaved in two, and the cut surface was extremely smooth and flat, demonstrating the attacker's perfect control.

Seeing this, Dan Lei deactivated his invisibility and muttered something to himself, somewhat speechless.
"I'd say, isn't your way of greeting a bit too hardcore?"

Also, I thought I hid myself pretty well, how did you find me?

After Dan Lei appeared, Jing Liu was clearly taken aback, then muttered to himself.

"Yinyue? No, you are not Yinyue."

Their temperament, aura, and energy are completely different. So, Luofu now has a new Dragon Lord?

As he spoke, Jingliu seemed to be attacked by his past memories, his face showing pain, his left hand covering his head, and black mist rising from beneath him.

Fortunately, Dan Lei was not an old friend of Jing Liu, and she quickly suppressed her strange behavior and said...

"Your figure and aura are well concealed."

But the gazes were too intense. My eyes are veiled, so I'm particularly sensitive to other people's stares.

Upon hearing Jingliu's comment, Danlei wondered if he felt Jingliu's gaze was particularly intense.

In reality, Jingliu doesn't wear as little as in the game. Not only are her clothes completely covered, but her legs aren't even exposed under her skirt; she's dressed like a standard lightly armored swordsman.

Therefore, Dan Lei was genuinely appreciating her and Yan Qing's swordsmanship just now, without a trace of ulterior motive.

However, Danlei didn't press the matter further and simply admitted it.

"I see. After all, he saw the legendary Luofu Sword Tip, the 'Seamless Flying Light,' and probably couldn't resist taking a few extra glances."

Upon hearing the title "Flying Light Without Gap," Jingliu's face contorted in pain again, and he warned...
"New Dragon Lord of Luofu, whatever your purpose in coming here, I suggest you leave immediately."

"I acted on impulse just now, and it has already stirred up my demonic energy. Now that you have repeatedly mentioned my past memories, I can hardly suppress my demonic impulses anymore."

Dan Lei knew that if she wanted to utilize Jing Liu's combat power, she had to solve the problem of Jing Liu's Demonic Yin Body easily going berserk when she fought.

There are two ways to solve this problem.

First, if you throw Bai Lu over there, no matter how much Jing Liu goes berserk, he won't attack Bai Lu. Instead, he'll attack whichever Bai Lu points at.

The same situation applies if you replace it with a blade.

Secondly, learn from Kafka's hypnosis of the blade, and use words of power to distance certain memories from him.

In this respect, Dan Lei, with his two full-handedness, can do it better than Kafka, and it's also simpler for him to do.

The only problem is that Jingliu will definitely not allow Danlei to touch his memories, so a fight is inevitable.

I must defeat Jingliu before she will listen to me properly.

If that doesn't work, you can force her to listen to you properly.

You asked what to do if you can't beat the Mirror Style?
Dan Lei said that if he couldn't even defeat the Mirror Stream, he should slip out of Luofu and run away before the Antimatter Legion attacks.

It's important to know that, in the worst-case scenario, Luo Fu has three Great Lords of Annihilation at their peak. (As mentioned earlier, the protagonist was unaware of the situation at Iron Tomb at the time of his travels.)
Even if Jingliu is strong, he's not strong enough to be a Commander-level fighter. At most, he can participate in Commander-level battles and won't be instantly killed.

If you can't even beat the mirror style, or more accurately, if you can't even maintain a draw.

Dan Lei felt it was best not to get involved in what happened next; he should save his life first.

So, Dan Lei took out the Immortal-Slaying Sword from the sword box behind him, holding it in his right hand with the tip pointing to the ground.
"Suppressing it will only make the demonic body erupt even more violently next time."

I have a way to help you suppress the demonic energy, but first you need to release some of it.

Therefore, with the [Seamless Flying Light] Mirror Style, let me personally experience your sword.

Dan Lei's words, coupled with the release of his fighting spirit, made Jing Liu unable to hold back any longer.

A flash of white light appeared, and Jing Liu's icy longsword instantly pressed against Dan Lei's neck.

This is the origin of the title "Mirror Style: Flying Light Without Gap". On the battlefield, comrades often only see a flash of white light before their eyes, and the enemy's head, still grinning, is sent flying.

It can only be said that Jingliu, possessed by the demonic spirit, showed absolutely no mercy to Dan Lei, and immediately unleashed a killing move.

Fortunately, Dan Lei is no weakling either.

Simply trying to outsmart the Mirror School is suicidal. With Dan Lei's skill level, the saying "wielding a broadsword in front of Guan Yu" perfectly describes him.

Fortunately, swordsmanship is only one part of Dan Lei's combat strength.

The Staff of Preservation appeared directly in Dan Lei's left hand, and the Preservation Crystal at the tip of the staff activated a small shield to directly meet Jing Liu's sword.

The next second, a blast of ice storm exploded between the two.

Dan Lei felt a tremendous force coming from the Staff of Preservation, so he quickly retreated to dissipate the force and used his mental power to lock onto Mirror Flow, then swung the Immortal-Slaying Sword in a backhand slash of flames.

The icy storm was directly dispelled by the blazing flames of the Immortal-Slaying Sword and headed straight for Mirror Flow.

The clash between the Frost Greatsword and the Staff of Preservation just now resulted in a draw.

Danlei's physical strength is far greater than Jingliu's; this is the talent difference brought about by the awakening of the Chiming bloodline.

Even though Jingliu's swordsmanship skills had reached a state of perfection, coupled with the power of his charge, he was still only comparable to Danlei, who stood still.

Dan Lei needed to retreat to absorb the force, and Jing Liu, whose body was mostly suspended in the air, would only retreat further.

However, the further they retreated, the longer their reaction time became when facing Dan Lei's slashing flames.

Although it only adds one or two seconds, it's enough for a master like Jingliu.

With the ability to unleash a sword strike at zero frames, she countered with a destructive ice blade, neutralizing the flames that were hurtling towards her.

After one move, the two sides were locked in battle once again.

Jingliu's blindfold had been blown away by the blast of wind generated by the clash of fire and ice. She said with a ferocious expression...
"What a fine sword, truly a fine sword."

The sword itself possessed a powerful force capable of destroying destinies, but unfortunately, it was given to someone without a destiny of destruction to wield.

In response to this assessment, Dan Lei immediately donned the Crimson Dragon Emperor Armor, invoked the Destruction Path power of Draig, and used it as the main force to merge with his own Hunting Path, forming an echoing interweaving: Core Collapse.

Subsequently, this power was added to the Immortal-Slaying Sword.

A reddish-purple life force energy began to flow across the originally crimson Immortal Sword.

Then, Danlei also released the [Fire Emperor] Source Fire and Draig's Blazing Flame.

Under the coordination of the balanced destiny, multiple flames, using the Immortal-Slaying Sword as their core, directly formed the Immortal-Slaying Sword into the shape of a giant sword.

At this moment, the temperature of the Immortal-Slaying Sword had become so high that the metal laid on the ground by Liuyun Ferry would vaporize upon contact with it.

Jing Liu saw Dan Lei wearing dragon-shaped armor, with a sword box on his back that resembled a flying sword protecting him from above, and a crimson-purple divine sword in his hand that seemed to burn one's soul just by looking at it.

Jing Liu was certain that he had never seen a dragon so powerful before.

Zhu Ming's Yan Tingjun did not have this form.

Furthermore, Kagami Ryu stated that he hadn't felt heat for a long time.

Now, Jingliu felt very hot, not only physically but also with a long-lost feeling of "blood boiling" within him.

As a result, Jingliu, in his demonic form, actually displayed the state exhibited by the Type-Moon Berserk EX skill.

Her mind was still in a frenzy, but reason returned under the influence of her fighting spirit.

He focused all his strength on the power of his destiny into the three-foot-seven-inch-long ice sword in his hand, and said...
"I apologize for just saying that you are not worthy to use this sword."

My name is Jingliu, and I am now a discarded soldier of the Immortal Ship, a wandering swordsman.

I now humbly request guidance from Your Majesty the Dragon Lord.

Seeing that Jingliu had formally expressed his intention to seek guidance, Danlei responded accordingly.
"Danlei, the Dragon Lord of Wisdom and the Lord of Yang, please enlighten me."
