Perhaps the beginning of everything was chaos, and the end of everything would also be chaos.
His soul seemed to have been frozen. Every thought was slow, difficult, and heavy.
Jiang Wang had forgotten a lot of things.
Gradually, he couldn't remember where he was, why he came from, and where he was going.
His heart was very heavy. He wanted to slow down, slow down even more … He wanted to sleep.
He was already very tired. He was like a taut string that didn't relax for a moment.
He couldn't hold it in any longer.
He wanted to fall down. He didn't care about anything and just fell down like this.
But for some reason, there was always a faint resistance in his heart.
I'm here. What can I resist?
He thought with difficulty.
"Brother, are we still going home?"
"We don't have a home anymore."
"Then Brother Rucheng, Brother Linghe, Brother Zhan, Brother Tang Dun, Sir … are they still here?"
"I don't know. Maybe they also escaped, but they're not in the same direction as us. "
"Oh. Then we can go find them. "
"This world is too big. Once we're separated, we may never find them again."
"Then when I grow up, I'll go find them with you."
"… Okay."
"Brother?"
"I'm here."
I'm here.
I'll take you to find them.
If the soul was pitch-black, then in the deepest part of the soul, there was an inextinguishable fire whispering softly.
The fire was faint.
"I'm here."
"I'll take you there."
The fire flickered, struggled, and was on the verge of collapse.
It seemed to be extinguished at any time, but it was amazing that it was still burning.
This was the original fire.
It had an iron-like willpower and a rock-like persistence.
There was no one in front of it, and nothing behind it. It supported itself. It was on the verge of collapse, but it didn't fall and kept burning.
It was burning, burning …
"If it weren't for Master Jiang, how could we live?"
"We'll never forget Master Jiang Wang's great kindness."
"I beg God, let Prince Jiang stay in Qingyang Town forever."
"Lord Daoist, I pray for Master Jiang. I only hope that he can live forever and enjoy blessings forever."
…
A voice came from somewhere and resounded in this world.
Or rather, they had always existed. It was only in the world of the Red Makeup Mirror that they became so clear.
There were all sorts of names, but all of them reached Jiang Wang's ears.
A child's voice prayed thus.
"Bodhisattva Jiang, I wish you good health."
At first, this world was pitch-black, but then there was fire, and then there was light.
Fire is the beginning of life.
Humans used fire to cook their food, to drive away the cold, and to light up the night.
Countless blessings and countless rays of light.
The tiny flame deep inside Jiang Wang's soul seemed to be growing bigger and bigger. Finally, it was no longer on the verge of dying out.
An 'an, An' an.
Jiang Wang began to think with difficulty.
His five senses gradually recovered.
Finally, a voice sounded from the bottom of his heart.
"The master of the Blessed Land's Spring Cave has issued a challenge. Will you accept the challenge?"
Jiang Wang suddenly realized that it was already the 15th of July. It was the day of the Great Illusionary Land's challenge.
As the saying goes, with a single thought, one's speed was faster than sound and lightning.
However, Jiang Wang put in a lot of effort before he finally changed his mind. "Accept the challenge!"
The cold and omnipresent power of the Moon Star instantly wrapped around him. His soul was directly brought into the Great Illusionary Land and appeared in front of his opponent.
His soul relaxed!
All the coldness, stiffness, sluggishness, and numbness all disappeared.
Only after losing them did he understand how free and beautiful the original state of the soul was!
Jiang Wang didn't even have time to see his opponent's appearance clearly. He hurriedly said, "Thank you!"
He directly admitted defeat and left the Great Illusionary Land. Only his opponent was left there with a stunned expression.
His soul that had recovered to its peak state reappeared in the world of the snowy plains in the Red Makeup Mirror. The simulated Nine Great Galaxy Rivers in his soul spun together, as if endless power started to surge.
Jiang Wang opened his eyes and shot up to the sky from under the thick snow!
He only saw the white snow under his feet and the blue sky — the snow stopped!
[Flying Snow Calamity Disappears].
That voice that was as cold as a blade seemed to sigh.
[Beauty Is Not Old].
Starting from Jiang Wang's feet, the white snow gradually disappeared, the frozen ground thawed, the spring breeze came, the green grass sprouted and swayed happily.
Jiang Wang's soul turned and returned to his body in reality.
He didn't have time to adapt to his body that had been stiff for so long. He fell into a dazed state.
It was as if he had lost something, but also gained something.
From entering the Red Makeup Mirror at the end of June to the fifteenth of July, he had endured a total of twenty days in the Flying Snow Calamity!
Twenty days and nights.
If it weren't for his amazing perseverance and persistence, with his current strength, the fire of his soul would have been extinguished in the Flying Snow Calamity.
If it weren't for the tens of thousands of people in the entire Qingyang Town, and the light spots that could be called "blessings" and "merits" that nourished and supported his soul, he wouldn't have been able to persist for so long.
In the end, he waited until the day of the Great Illusionary Land's blessed land challenge. He waited until the mysterious Great Illusionary Land sent out the challenge invitation.
Every drink and every peck was the result of what he had done and what he had asked for.
Jiang Wang felt lost for a while before he began to move his body.
Fortunately, the nine Milky Way Vortexes were always rotating, and the Star Twining Spirit Snake didn't rest. In fact, what he cared about the most was the Nether Candle. During this time, it stayed in the same place and didn't move.
Jiang Wang instantly regained control of his body. He stepped out of bed, and his bones made a cracking sound. By the second step, his body had adapted.
Bang!
Fang Qiang broke the door.
Seeing Jiang Wang standing in front of the bed, he just blinked his dead fish eyes and said indifferently, "You're still alive."
Then he turned and left.
The moment he broke the door, Jiang Wang was stunned by the sharp Sword Qi that broke out. He had high expectations for Fang Qiang, but now he found that he seemed to have underestimated this person.
He cracked his neck and grinned. "My destination isn't here."
When Dugu Xiao, Zhu Biqiong, and Zhang Hai heard that Jiang Wang had woken up, they came to greet him. Jiang Wang talked with them and roughly understood what had happened in the town. Then he locked himself in his room again.
Since the Flying Snow Trial was a test, there should be some gains after the test.
However, the Red Makeup Mirror didn't give any hints. Jiang Wang could only figure it out himself.
He entered the Red Makeup Mirror with his physical body again and found that the space in the mirror world had indeed become bigger. It had become a circle with a distance of five steps. Outside the circle was still a white haze that couldn't be crossed. Inside the circle, he could move freely.
The Red Makeup Mirror's detection range had also expanded to a limit of five miles. The mirror image created by the Red Makeup Mirror could also appear in this range.
Obviously, the detection range of the Red Makeup Mirror was directly related to the space occupied by the physical body in the mirror world. One step would cover about one mile.
He expected that if he entered the Red Makeup Mirror with his spirit again, the situation would be different. However, he didn't dare to try it again, afraid that he would face a calamity.
This was the importance of a master from a high sect. They could guide him in the right direction on the path of cultivation. They would also inform the disciples of the taboos and dangers of some magic tools. To a large extent, they could prevent cultivators from courting death.
There was no point in talking about this now.
Jiang Wang didn't forget his initial goal of entering the Red Makeup Mirror's mirror world.
The Red Makeup Mirror's effect had become stronger, but the result didn't seem to have changed. It still didn't seem to help.
However, Jiang Wang felt that the changes brought about by the Flying Snow Trial weren't so simple.
Or rather, the gains after the Flying Snow Trial weren't just in the Red Makeup Mirror.
Then.
He examined himself.
Twenty days had passed in the real world. What had the Flying Snow Trial brought to him in the immeasurably long time in the snowy mirror world?
… …
… …
