The Snow Crane's figure streaked across the horizon. It spread its wings and soared, transforming into a stream of light and disappearing into the distance in an instant.
Still within the silhouetted snow crane, Yan Zhaoge crossed his arms before his chest, curling his lips, "The entrance of the dimensional passageway here is even more unstable than the one in our Eight Extremities World."
"If I did not see wrongly, it seems to be shifting along the spiritual qi pulse of this world. We will have to properly search for it. Fortunately, based on the time that the Ten Character Heavenly Rainbow has existed in our Eight Extremities World, there is still a very long time before the passageway closes."
Yan Zhaoge raised his head and looked at the sun hanging high up in the sky, "Yes, if the time flow of the two worlds is the same."
Everyone was flying with the Snow Crane as they observed their surroundings curiously.
After glancing at Feng Yunsheng and Ying Longtu, Xu Fei secretly sent a sound transmission to Yan Zhaoge, "Zhaoge, I remember that the Snow Crane was the symbol of your mother, Senior Snow, that year."
The corners of Yan Zhaoge's mouth twitched slightly as he answered with a bitter smile, "I've let senior apprentice-brother Xu see a joke. To tell you the truth, coming here this time is precisely due to the clues left behind by my mother that year."
Xue Fei shook his head. "Why would I laugh at you? It's just that I didn't expect your mother to be related to another world. When I first entered the sect, I even saw her once. "
Connecting this to the matter of Xue Chuqing suddenly disappearing in the Eight Extremities World, Xue Fei's first thought was that she had come from this world, rather than just having discovered this place by pure coincidence.
Yan Zhaoge said, "Anyway, let's see where this Snow Crane will ultimately land. Who knows, we might be able to obtain some information related to this world."
"We are completely unfamiliar with this place. We must first gain some understanding of it and ensure a path of retreat back to the Eight Extremities World."
Yan Zhaoge rubbed his temples rather irritably, "The current situation in the Eight Extremities World is rather delicate, with various conflicts about to erupt at any moment. This is not the time to be pioneering a new world, especially when …"
Swivelling his head to glance at Feng Yunsheng, Yan Zhaoge knit his brows, "… Especially when junior apprentice-sister Feng still has to participate in the Extreme Yin Bout."
Feng Yunsheng's expression was currently rather calm. Feeling something, she turned to meet Yan Zhaoge's gaze.
Seemingly understanding Yan Zhaoge's thoughts, she shook her head slightly, indicating that she was fine.
Xu Fei said, "Right now, we are completely clueless about this place. We also don't know what kind of experts there are here. It's best to be cautious."
"The entrance to the passage isn't fixed in this world, so even if someone were to rush over from the Ten Character Heavenly Rainbow, their landing point in this world wouldn't be the same as ours, so it'd be difficult to coordinate with them."
Yan Zhaoge nodded, saying, "It's also not that just anyone can come over. The chaotic flows of space can rip people apart at any time. The reason why we can be so safe is because of this Snow Crane."
Xue Fei hesitated for a moment before saying, "Speaking of this Snow Crane, it would be rather inconceivable if the ritual was left behind by your mother. Although Senior Xue's cultivation was not weak back then, it seems that he could not have left behind such a powerful ritual."
Yan Zhaoge spread his palms apart, "Perhaps it is some sort of treasure."
According to what his father Yan Di had said, while his mother had concealed her origins, her cultivation base should have been real.
With Xue Chuqing's cultivation at the time, it was indeed impossible for her to set up such a powerful ritual.
As they conversed, the Snow Crane's silhouette gradually dimmed and began to descend.
Yan Zhaoge's spirits rose. Gazing over carefully, he saw a white pillar of light shooting into the skies amidst a primordial forest.
The pure white Snow Crane landed within the pillar of light, gradually vanishing, while the figures of Yan Zhaoge and the others landed on the ground within the pillar of light.
Looking downwards, numerous spirit patterns lit up on the ground, profound and complex.
Feng Yunsheng, Xue Fei, Ah Hu and the others all involuntarily let out sighs of admiration.
Yan Zhaoge's pupils dilated slightly, "This legacy of spirit patterns indeed has some resemblance to those of before the Great Calamity."
It was not that people of later generations had researched and researched on the foundations of their predecessors, starting anew from scratch.
Instead, it was like the complete legacy of the martial civilisation of before the Great Calamity, not having been severed due to the Great Calamity.
As they landed, the white pillar of light that shot into the skies gradually vanished, the numerous spirit patterns on the ground also beginning to dissipate.
The white light congregated at the centre of the spirit patterns. Looking over, Yan Zhaoge saw that there seemed to be a mirror there.
More accurately, it was half a mirror.
Coming before the mirror, Yan Zhaoge saw that it was a simple round mirror that had been split into two from the middle. There was only one half here, the whereabouts of the other half unknown.
Xue Fei and the others appraised the mirror curiously. Yan Zhaoge picked up this half mirror, infusing his true essence within, carefully feeling it for a moment.
"This half mirror is the core of the mechanism." After a long time, Yan Zhaoge let out a long breath, "There should still be another half that has not been lost, instead being buried somewhere in this world."
He muttered within his heart, "The Mirror Dimensional Traversing Art-It really is an ancient technique of before the Great Calamity ah …"
Ah Hu looked curiously at the half mirror above Yan Zhaoge's head, "Young Master, can this thing help us return to the Eight Extremities World?"
Yan Zhaoge tapped lightly on the surface of the mirror twice, "Not in a short period of time. In order to complete the mechanism just now, the power accumulated within this half mirror has been temporarily depleted, requiring time to recover. The time that the Ten Character Heavenly Rainbow can be maintained for is limited at the end of the day, and we might not be able to make it in time. "
Feng Yunsheng pondered, "Perhaps it lies in the other half of the mirror?"
Yan Zhaoge snapped his fingers, "That's right. With that half mirror, we should be able to more easily find that dimensional passageway entrance that follows the movement of the spirit vein here. Also, after the two broken mirrors have been completely merged together, there might still be other wondrous uses for them."
Scanning their surroundings, Xue Fei sent a sound transmission to Yan Zhaoge, "If this mechanism was set up by Senior Xue to help you or Chief come over, there should be some information left behind, right?"
Yan Zhaoge kept that half mirror, similarly appraising their surroundings, "I think so too …"
Having searched for a long time, yet still unable to find any traces of it, Yan Zhaoge could not help but feel rather puzzled.
Xue Fei was also very helpless, "It looks like there isn't. Or perhaps it was discovered by someone beforehand and taken away."
Yan Zhaoge stroked his lower chin, "Whatever the case, let's first try to find the other half of the mirror and ensure that we can return to the Eight Extremities World in time."
Xue Fei said, "I had originally hoped that Senior Xue could have left behind some information to let us know the general situation here. Now, we can only slowly probe around."
"I also don't know the specific situation of this world, what kind of people there are."
Looking at the ground beneath his feet, Yan Zhaoge smiled, "Very soon, someone will come knocking on our door on their own accord, answering our questions."
"With the white light shooting into the heavens here just now, it could be seen clearly from far away. It would definitely have drawn the attention of others. When we were brought flying by the silhouetted snow crane, I noticed that there were signs of human activity along the way. "
Having said thus, just a moment later, the expressions of Yan Zhaoge and the others all changed as they felt that someone was currently in the midst of approaching. (To be continued.)
