After nine lifetimes of reincarnation, the yandere villainous heroine descends.

Upon hearing Yan Xuanshi's reply, Yu Shuiwei's face instantly darkened, as if a bright candlelight had been extinguished by a cold wind, leaving only endless gloom and disappointment.

Yan Xuanshi chuckled and said, "Old friends are hard to find."

Her voice was soft, yet it carried an indescribable sense of vicissitude.

Yu Shuiwei did not answer, but lowered her eyes slightly. Her dim eyes were full of helplessness and sorrow, as if the whole world had lost its color at this moment.

"Didn't you find something that crosses boundaries? Show it to me so I can take a look."

Yan Xuanshi said solemnly.

Immediately, their gazes seemed to pierce through layers of mist, instantly returning them from that dreamlike world back to reality.

Everything around me suddenly became clear and real, and a real sense of touch and smell rushed towards me.

Without the slightest hesitation, Yu Shuiwei quickly pulled something from her bosom and handed it to Yan Xuanshi.

It was a square mirror. From the outside, it looked ordinary and unremarkable, with nothing special about it, just like an inconspicuous, common object that could be found anywhere on the street.

However, as Yan Xuanshi slowly poured her true energy into the mirror, the surface of the mirror suddenly rippled like a calm lake where a pebble had been thrown in.

The ripples shimmered with an eerie light, dreamlike and breathtakingly beautiful.

Then, as if they came to life, these ripples detached lightly from the mirror and rapidly converged at a speed visible to the naked eye, quickly forming a gate as tall as a person in front of them.

The gate was tall and mysterious, its other side shrouded in a thick fog, making it impossible to see what was hidden within.

It's like an unknown, mysterious realm; only by bravely stepping into it can you unveil its secrets.

Yan Xuanshi did not rush in. She narrowed her eyes slightly, observed carefully for a moment, sighed softly, and slowly shook her head, saying, "This thing cannot perform a true cross-dimensional action."

Although her voice was soft, it struck Yu Shuiwei's heart like a heavy hammer.

Yu Shuiwei, who was standing to the side, was stunned. She felt as if a thunderbolt had suddenly exploded in her heart. The shock was so intense that her body trembled slightly involuntarily.

Her face instantly turned ashen, devoid of any color, and her eyes were filled with disbelief, shock, and deep despair.

"How could this be... Senior, you're lying to me, aren't you...?"

Yu Shuiwei said in a trembling voice.

She couldn't believe that the cross-border item she had obtained after going through countless hardships and putting in so much effort couldn't fulfill her cross-border wish.

Her body trembled, like a flower about to wither in the wind, so fragile that it could not be broken.

Subsequently, she desperately tried to step inside and personally verify the cruel truth, but was firmly controlled in place by Yan Xuanshi's powerful strength and could not move an inch.

Yan Xuanshi sighed softly, her eyes filled with understanding and sympathy, and slowly said, "I understand your feelings, child. What this thing refers to as crossing realms only means unimpeded movement within this realm; it cannot break through the void to enter other worlds."

Yu Shuiwei shook her head desperately, her movements fierce and resolute, unwilling to believe this nightmarish outcome.

Tears welled up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.

Seeing her so distraught, Yan Xuanshi felt a pang of pity.

"Little Hong'er, you stay here for now, I'll be right back."

After Yan Xuanshi finished speaking, she gently pulled Yu Shuiwei up and carefully protected her behind her. Then, without hesitation, she stepped into the mysterious door.

Qin Hongyi remained where she was, watching the two disappear into the distance with her cold gaze, pondering something in her heart.

Her delicate face was now filled with doubt and suspicion as she pondered to herself.

This woman must have some hidden issues, otherwise why would Yan Xuanshi help her for no reason?

As the light flashed and disappeared, the two figures instantly moved from that desolate and ancient place to the sky above a magnificent sect, as if by teleportation.

When Yu Shuiwei saw the sect below, her body trembled slightly. The tremor was so slight, yet it was filled with endless complex emotions.

She was all too familiar with this place; it was the very sect she belonged to—the Xuanqing Sect.

The familiar architectural layout and every familiar blade of grass and tree were deeply imprinted in her heart.

At this moment, she finally believed that the so-called cross-border item could not achieve true cross-border functionality.

Tears could no longer be held back and streamed down her face like a river bursting its banks.

Her shoulders trembled slightly, and her silent weeping seemed to express the despair and pain in her heart.

Yan Xuanshi didn't speak, but just looked at her quietly, her eyes filled with understanding and tenderness.

That quiet gaze seemed like a silent comfort, or perhaps it was waiting for Yu Shuiwei to slowly emerge from her grief.

After a while!

Yu Shuiwei slowly raised her head, forcing back her tears, and said, "Thank you for telling me, senior. No matter what, I will not stop searching for my father."

Although her voice was choked with sobs, it was incredibly firm, and a spark of hope rekindled in her eyes.

"While this item may not allow you to cross boundaries, I can teach you another way to do it."

After a slight hesitation, Yan Xuanshi spoke slowly.

"What method did you use, senior?"

Yu Shuiwei's eyes lit up instantly, like a bright light suddenly appearing in the darkness, filled with urgency and longing.

Yan Xuanshi did not answer immediately, but gently closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, as if she were having a silent conversation with the endless universe.

In that brief silence, time seemed to stand still. Yu Shuiwei held her breath nervously, not daring to make the slightest disturbance.

When she opened her eyes again, countless stars twinkled in them.

The dazzling light was like the most radiant gem in the night sky, and each star seemed to carry an unknown world and a mysterious story.

The surrounding environment underwent another miraculous transformation, and the next second, the two seemed to be in a dreamlike starry sky.

Countless planets slowly revolved around the two of them, some emitting a soft blue light, some flashing a fiery red light, and others shrouded in a layer of mysterious mist.

At this moment, Yan Xuanshi's aura underwent a dramatic change.

A powerful, majestic, and mysterious aura emanated continuously from her body, spreading outwards in waves like a surging torrent.

Wherever this aura went, the surrounding stars seemed to tremble slightly, as if expressing their awe towards this mysterious and powerful being.

She was like a goddess from the highest heavens, noble and sacred, making one dare not look directly at her.

Her tall and straight figure appeared even more majestic under the starlight.

Her gaze was deep and far-reaching, as if she could see through all the secrets of the world.

At this moment, Yan Xuanshi is also the master of these thousands of stars. The twinkling of each star and the flow of each ray of light seem to be obeying her command and following the rules she has set.

Which star do you like?

Yan Xuanshi asked softly, her voice sounding ethereal and distant in the vast starry sky.

Yu Shuiwei was taken aback, clearly not expecting such a question.

But seeing Yan Xuanshi's serious expression, she hesitated for a moment, then slightly raised her hand and pointed to a certain blue star.

Among the many dazzling stars, that star radiated a unique and captivating light.

Yan Xuanshi smiled slightly, and then she gently opened her slender white hand, and an illusory palm that blotted out the sky instantly unfolded, with endless power of laws gathering in her palm.

The power of the laws shimmered with a mysterious light, weaving into intricate and astonishing patterns.

Immediately afterwards, this colossal hand, with an unstoppable force, directly grasped the blue star, as if the star were merely an insignificant object beneath its massive grasp.

Then, the giant hand pulled it over, the whole process flowing smoothly and with a breathtaking beauty of power.

"Close your eyes."

Yan Xuanshi said, her voice filled with authority and mystery.

Upon hearing this, Yu Shuiwei decisively closed her eyes. Her face was calm and full of trust, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly, revealing her inner tension and anticipation.

Without hesitation, Yan Xuanshi made a wisp of her hand, and the blue star burst into bloom like fireworks.

Countless dazzling streaks of light shot out like a dream, illuminating the entire starry sky.

The bursting light, guided by Yan Xuanshi, all rushed into Yu Shuiwei's brow.

The flowing light seemed to have a life of its own, eagerly merging into her body, bringing her unknown changes and possibilities.

"Feel it with your heart, this star is actually a world. When you can understand the power contained in this world, and then combine it with that mirror, you can break through the void and achieve true cross-world crossing."

Yan Xuanshi spoke slowly.

Yu Shuiwei closed her eyes tightly, her brows furrowed slightly, trying hard to understand the mystery in Yan Xuanshi's words.

Her breathing gradually became steady and deep, as she became completely immersed in the mysterious power from the stars.

Yan Xuanshi stood quietly to the side, gazing tenderly at Yu Shuiwei, as if she were guarding a new star about to shine.

The surrounding stars continued to twinkle, their brilliant light illuminating their figures and creating a dreamlike scene.
