Eating bizarre things in public upgrades my status; the Special Affairs Bureau wants me to join them

"The bronze mirror... is a key!"

"The key to open the portal between these two realms!"

Wu Di responded to He Li in a low voice.

He seemed to have given up, but He Li's expression grew colder upon hearing this: "The key? Then let me ask you, how can someone from the lower realm go to the middle realm without this bronze mirror?"

"I can't go!" Wudi shook his head.

He Li sneered, "Really? Then how come I heard that a Qi cultivator from the lower realm surnamed Xu successfully reached the middle realm? What? Does he also have this kind of bronze mirror?"

Upon hearing He Li's words, a barely perceptible hint of panic flashed in Wu Di's eyes, but he concealed it very well.

"I...I don't know..."

"Perhaps there is more than one bronze mirror? This bronze mirror of mine was also a gift from the heavens."

"As for the rest, I don't know."

He Li stared coldly at Wu Di upon hearing this, knowing full well that Wu Di was definitely not telling the truth.

But it doesn't matter. Even if we don't know what this thing is, can't we try to find out by activating the special features of this mirror?

Thinking of this, He Li pressed further, "Since you say this is a key, how do we use this mirror?"

"It's not difficult to use it."

The shaman honestly replied, "Just keep inputting a fixed amount of spiritual energy and then put it into the door frame..."

"These two will gradually begin to react."

"Then, the portal between the two realms opened!"

"Is that so?" He Li nodded. Although he didn't know what Wu Di was thinking, he was prepared to deal with whatever came his way and didn't care if the other party used tricks.

So he decided to give it a try.

Anyway, he has a lot of spiritual energy in his body now.

The massive amount of spiritual energy provided by the corpse of the Scaled Monster that I just devoured is still being digested within my body.

Thinking this, He Li tentatively released his spiritual energy to try and contact the bronze mirror, only to find that the bronze mirror actually began to rapidly absorb the spiritual energy he released.

However, activating this bronze mirror requires a considerable amount of spiritual energy, and it seems that the required amount cannot be reached in a short period of time.

So, while infusing spiritual energy...

He Li then looked at Wu Di.

"What is Tianmen? And where is it located?"

He asked purely out of curiosity, as he planned to try to become an immortal by finding the Heavenly Gate later.

Wu Di was somewhat surprised to hear this.

He didn't understand why He Liwen Tianmen was asking.

But he still answered, "Tianmen... literally means a gate or mountain gate standing in the sky. There are also legends that beyond Tianmen lies the legendary celestial realm."

"But in fact, the Immortal Realm is the Upper Realm."

"However, the Heavenly Gate cannot directly lead to the Upper Realm."

"The Heavenly Gate... connects to other smaller worlds."

"As for the exact location..."

"I don't know. I've only heard that someone saw something that looked like a Heavenly Gate near Kunlun Void. That thing... is only rare among the aquatic creatures of the Middle Realm."

"The other Qi cultivators are not attached to this..."

Kunlun Xu? Kunlun Mountain?

Thinking of the spirit of Kunlun Mountain that Wang Yue once mentioned...

He Li couldn't help but press, "The Kunlun Void you mentioned, you must be referring to Kunlun Mountain, right? Then let me ask you, is there any news from the Middle Realm about Kunlun Mountain being pulled into the Lower Realm?"

"Yes!" Wu Di nodded: "It is said that a corner of Kunlun Xu was pulled down to the lower realm and disappeared."

"But there was no further news."

No further news?

"Alright," He thought for a moment and then asked, "Have you ever heard of a Qi cultivator named Xu Fu?"

"Or, perhaps he could be called Xu Shi?"

Xu Fu? Xu Shi?

The shaman's eyes darted around as he nodded: "I've heard of it."

"Xu Fu is in the Shu Kingdom!"

"Shu Kingdom?" He Li frowned.

Wu Di responded, "The Middle Realm Kingdom is also the most powerful Qi Refining Empire in the Middle Realm, supported by the Demon Court of the Upper Realm. The reason I know the name Xu Fu is..."

"It's also because the Shu Kingdom intends to communicate with the descendants of the Shu Kingdom in the lower realm to cooperate in dealing with the disaster."

"It seems that he was the one who proposed this plan."

"At least, that's what the rumors say."

"As for Xu Fu's relationship with the Shu Kingdom, and other things about him, I don't know."

Good heavens, Xu Fu really didn't die.

He Li was secretly amazed.

Although he had already guessed it, how could someone as talented as Xu Fu, who could still go to the Middle Realm to cultivate immortality after severing the connection between heaven and earth, die so easily in the Middle Realm?

It has now been confirmed that he not only did not die, but also curried favor with the strongest empire in the upper and middle realms... the Shu Kingdom.

That old man is definitely plotting something.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have come up with this plan.

However... does Wu Di really know more about Xu Fu? Probably not. Don't forget, the professions of wizards and sorcerers were most prevalent in the ancient Shu Kingdom.

The relationship between the Ten Witches of Lingshan and the Shu Kingdom is even more difficult to define.

He, Wudi, must have known about the Shu Kingdom.

He even held a significant position in the Shu Kingdom.

Xu Fu went to the Shu Kingdom and proposed a grand plan. How could Wu Di not notice Xu Fu?

How could we not investigate him?

This guy just doesn't want to talk.

Or rather... what Wu Di said was a mix of truth and falsehood, he just didn't want to tell He Li everything. But He Li wasn't worried, since Wu Di couldn't escape now anyway.

He has plenty of ways to interrogate people slowly.

Thinking about all this, He Li's smile turned sinister.

He was about to ask something else.

However, at this very moment...

hum! ! !

Suddenly, the bronze mirror in He Li's hand, which he was continuously infusing with spiritual energy, emitted a dazzling light.

The snow-white light illuminated the entire underground space, and the mirror radiating light revealed some blurry images. He Li originally wanted to try to see what was on the image.

But just as he opened his eyes wide...

As he gradually saw what appeared to be a figure in the mirror, and noticed a pair of blue eyes...

boom!!!

As he saw those eyes, an invisible force emanated from the mirror, crashing heavily into He Li's mind, causing him a splitting headache and making his consciousness scramble.

Since acquiring supernatural powers, He Li had never experienced anything that seemed capable of truly killing him...

A terrifying attack that shattered his soul.

And that was just the other person glancing at him...

If He Li's soul hadn't been strong enough, he would probably have already been annihilated by now.

Mu Lan, standing behind him, didn't know what He Li had seen or what had happened, but seeing He Li's pale face, she realized the seriousness of the situation.

Without a second thought, she hurled the spear in her hand, which slammed into the bronze mirror...

Ding! ! !

With a crisp sound, the bronze mirror in He Li's hand, who was in a daze, was knocked away by Mu Lan's spear and fell to the ground. At the same time, Wu Di broke free from He Li's spiritual restraint.

However, he did not run away immediately.

He suddenly opened his mouth, and instantly, a pale golden, semi-transparent phantom shot out from his mouth and disappeared into the bronze mirror that had fallen to the ground and continued to emit light.

The light on the bronze mirror then went out.

The bronze mirror has been restored to its original state...

However, no one paid any attention to the bronze mirror at this time.

Mu Lan rushed forward and supported He Li, who was swaying and looked as if he might fall at any moment.

Are you alright?

She asked, and He Li, who had recovered, shook his head.

"It's alright!" he said, glancing at the lifeless body of Wudi not far away. "I was careless. I should have known. This Wudi couldn't be that simple."

"They are, after all, one of the Ten Witches of Mount Ling."

"Legendary beings... if I'm not mistaken... the Ten Witches must also be ascended immortals!"

"That phantom image just now must have been a consciousness."

"The consciousness of the Upper Realm Shaman."

"What we see is merely a human form that he found in the Middle Realm to facilitate his movements."

As he spoke, Mu Lan nodded in agreement, but when she looked at the bronze mirror lying on the ground, she couldn't help but ask, "Did you... see something just now?"

"What...is it?"

"It actually has the power to affect you?"

Mu Lan was both curious and somewhat alarmed.

After all, no one had ever hurt He Li before.

Upon hearing this, He Li recalled the scene he had just seen in the bronze mirror, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "I just saw a figure in that bronze mirror..."

"Human body, snake tail!"

Human body, snake tail?

Mu Lan's eyelids twitched.

A name surfaced in her mind.

Nuwa?!
