Mortal: My name is Ma Liang, and I also possess a magic brush.

When Taiyi Zhenren saw Jinzha, he swallowed back the reprimand that was on the tip of his tongue and straightened his wrinkled Taoist robe.

"It's my junior apprentice."

With that, he waved his sleeve, and the furnace lid that had been blown off inside the cave landed back in the furnace with a "whoosh," the scattered pills returned to their place on their own, and the mess on the ground was instantly restored to its original state.

He turned and walked to the futon inside the cave, sat cross-legged, and looked at Nezha with a stern face. "Disciple, what brings you here to see your master?"

Nezha forced a smile and stepped forward, saying, "Master, what are you saying? Can't I come to see you even if there's nothing wrong?"

Taiyi Zhenren laughed out loud, all traces of his previous anger gone.

"You little rascal, don't I know you well enough? Tell me, what trouble have you gotten into this time?"

Nezha immediately stood up, proudly pointing to himself with a thumbs-up, and puffed out his chest: "Master, we're now righteous gods in Heaven, how can we cause trouble every day?"

"I've come to see you today because I received something and would like to ask you, Master, to take a look at it."

Jin Zha casually found a futon and sat down cross-legged.

Upon hearing this, Taiyi Zhenren immediately became interested. "What is it? Show it to your master."

Without further ado, Nezha flipped his hand and pulled out the boundary anchor, handing it to Taiyi Zhenren.

Taiyi Zhenren initially seemed indifferent, but upon seeing the object clearly, he exclaimed in surprise.

"A boundary anchor point? Where did you get such a thing?"

Nezha didn't hide anything and explained the whole story of the anchor point in a frank manner, even mentioning that the other end of the anchor point was connected to Ma Liang.

After hearing this, Taiyi Zhenren flicked his finger, and the anchor point flew into his hand on its own.

He gripped the anchor point, his brow slightly furrowed.

"This matter could be a big deal or a small deal. Let me think about it carefully."

Nezha waved his hand dismissively: "Master, what big deal could it be? We're just going to see what the world over there is like."

"Besides, our souls from this world are still over there. Even if something goes wrong, we're in the right, aren't we?"

Master Taiyi shook his head helplessly. "You, you, are always so reckless. You act blindly without thinking things through. You'll suffer sooner or later!"

"If this matter isn't handled properly and it alerts the powerful figures in that realm, potentially triggering a conflict between the two realms, how will we handle the situation then?"

Upon hearing this, Nezha immediately perked up, rubbing his hands together and laughing, "Conflict? That's great! I can't even remember the last time I stretched my muscles!"

Seeing Nezha's eager look, Taiyi Zhenren ultimately couldn't dissuade him.

"Alright, let's see what kind of world this is."

In truth, he was genuinely curious. Although he possessed profound cultivation, he had only done such cross-realm matters a few times.

"Keep this anchor safe. Wait for me to set up a protective formation for the boundary. Then come with me."

Taiyi Zhenren got up and walked towards the stone chamber on the other side of the cave.

Nezha and Jinzha quickly followed.

Upon entering the stone chamber, Nezha showed no surprise, clearly having been there many times before. On the other hand, Jinzha, entering the stone chamber for the first time, couldn't help but show some astonishment.

The stone chamber was reinforced by a spatial array, making its interior space much larger than it appeared from the outside. Various rare spiritual items were displayed inside, some floating in a spiritual light shield, and others placed inside ancient jade boxes.

Taiyi Zhenren picked and chose among the spiritual objects, selecting some rare spiritual materials and several array flags engraved with runes, before continuing to walk deeper into the stone chamber.

The two followed him through a maze of twists and turns, and ended up in another stone chamber.

This stone chamber was also exceptionally spacious, but it was completely different from the front chamber; it was empty and devoid of any furnishings.

"It's right here."

As soon as Master Taiyi finished speaking, he raised his hand, and the spiritual materials and array flags he had previously selected floated into the air.

His fingers flew across the paper as he quickly formed several hand seals, and the spiritual materials and array flags seemed to receive guidance, settling into mysterious positions.

Once all the items were in place, Taiyi Zhenren immediately sat cross-legged, his hand gestures changing faster and faster, so fast that only a blur remained.

In a short while, countless golden patterns appeared on the ground, spreading rapidly along the spiritual materials and array flags like living things, covering the entire stone chamber floor in the blink of an eye, forming a huge and complex array.

Master Taiyi continued his hand seals, "This time, we must perform the spell discreetly. We only need to slightly open the channel connecting us to that wisp of soul, and we must not disturb the experts from other realms."

Nezha quickly agreed, patting his chest to assure him, "I know, I know, Master! We're just going to take a look at the scenery of that realm, maybe get a feel for it, we won't do anything extra, and we don't need to open the passage too wide!"

Nezha was nodding in agreement when he suddenly slapped his forehead, remembering something.

"By the way, Master! Immortal Xuan Yuan told me before that the other side of this spatial anchor point is in the sea of ​​consciousness of that wisp of soul. Won't what we're doing cause it to burst?"

"Don't worry, I've remembered everything you just said. We'll precisely connect the anchor point to that soul, and at that time, neither the magic pen nor anything else will cause any damage to his soul."

"That puts my mind at ease." Nezha breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "It would be bad if that person's soul were scattered because of this."

The three remained silent, waiting for the formation to take shape.

Taiyi Zhenren then took out several spiritual materials from his sleeve and accurately threw them at key nodes in the formation, causing the golden light of the formation to intensify even further.

Just as the formation was about to be completed, Master Taiyi suddenly shouted, "Throw the anchor points into the formation!"

Nezha threw the anchor point out.

As soon as the anchor point entered the formation, it was fixed in mid-air. The formation below instantly lit up with dazzling golden light, and countless runes surged toward the anchor point like swimming dragons.

The fist-sized anchor point began to grow larger under the pull of the golden light, until it stopped when it became the size of a millstone.

But at this moment, the surface of the anchor point began to fluctuate violently, as if it would collapse at any moment.

Taiyi Zhenren's expression hardened, and his hands rapidly formed hand seals.

The array reacted again, and a condensed golden light shot directly to the center of the anchor point.

As the golden light continued to pour in, the fluctuations at the anchor point became smaller and smaller, eventually transforming into a smooth, enormous mirror.

At the same time, all the golden light suddenly disappeared, and the array patterns on the ground also faded away, vanishing without a trace.

Nezha stared at the large mirror floating in mid-air. "Master, it's done!"

Master Taiyi let out a long sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his brow, and said, "Yes, it's done."

Nezha immediately stepped forward and reached out to touch the mirror.

"It's actually as smooth as a mirror, and it has a real, tangible feel to it. Unlike before, when I was afraid of breaking it if I even touched it."

"Master, what should we do next to see the view on the other side?"

Taiyi Zhenren waved his hand, indicating, "Don't rush, come and sit down."

With that, he waved his hand, and two prayer mats appeared beside him.

He looked at Jin Zha, "Nephew, come and sit down too."

"Yes, Uncle-Master."

Nezha could no longer contain his excitement and sat down in three quick steps.

The three sat cross-legged side by side on the prayer mat, holding their breath and concentrating.

Taiyi Zhenren closed his eyes slightly, muttered incantations, then brought his fingers together to form a sword-like gesture, and recited another obscure incantation.

As soon as the incantation ended, he suddenly opened his eyes, raised his sword finger, and a condensed golden light shot out from his finger and towards the mirror.

The moment the golden light completely merged into the mirror surface, the smooth "mirror" suddenly began to ripple like water.

At first, the image in the mirror was blurry, with only faint light and shadow movement visible.

As the shaking subsided, the image became clearer and clearer. When the last ripple disappeared, a clear image was reflected on the mirror.
