My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 726: Chapter 691: Qingxuan’s Heavenly Measures

In the world, there exist innumerable mirrors.

However, the only one that would make Li Fan solemnly regard it is [Tian Xuan].

Whilst the square mirror in Huang Fusong’s hands looked different from the previously observed Tianxuan Mirror, the familiar aura emanating from the mirror left Li Fan almost convinced that its existence was undoubtedly connected with the Tianxuan Mirror.

As expected, Huang Fusong, sounding somewhat nervous, softly said, “Brother Dong Fang, be careful with your words. Despite this petite mirror appearing unimpressive, it is an exquisite piece constructed from the collective efforts of countless distinguished Array Masters from the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.”

“Mirror of Celestial Measurement.”

Li Fan’s eyes twinkled subtly while Dong Fangyao remained confused.

With a trace of impatience, Dong Fangyao said, “Speak clearly. You sound like a woman, always twirling about.”

Huang Fusong wasn’t angered, he gently stroked the [Mirror of Celestial Measurement] and said nostalgically, “You wouldn’t understand if I provide too intricate of a description. All you need to know is that this treasure has been forged using an Array Technique’s core structure, and the [Azure Mystique Mirror] as the raw material.”

“It can be considered a portable fragment of the Tianxuan Mirror. The crucial point is that the user possesses virtually complete control.”

Upon hearing this, Dong Fangyao widened his eyes in surprise, “Tianxuan Fragmented Mirror? A precious item like that, let me have a look!”

With that, he tried to snatch the Mirror of Celestial Measurement that was in Huang Fusong’s hand.

Yet, to his surprise, even though his hands clearly touched the square mirror, they passed right through it, failing to grab it.

“Fake?” Dong Fang Yao was taken aback.

“Hehe.” Huang Fusong flipped the Mirror of Celestial Measurement in his hand and smirked, “Such treasures, of course, are reserved for the virtuous. Ordinary cultivators, even if they were to chance upon it, wouldn’t be able to lay their hands on it without permission from the Immortal Alliance.”

Finally, Li Fan who had been observing quietly the entire time, spoke up, “Brother Huang Fu, for you to borrow such a treasure, you must have paid a hefty price.”

“However, what benefits could this Mirror of Celestial Measurement bring to our exploration of the White Mist?” Li Fan asked, furrowing his eyebrows, looking at Huang Fusong.

Huang Fusong did not continue playing coy and explained, “The Mirror of Celestial Measurement, as the name implies, can measure Heaven and Earth. The vast white mist, even spiritual consciousness of a cultivator couldn’t penetrate far, forcing them to tread carefully and rely on luck to explore. But if we use this Mirror of Celestial Measurement…”

Huang Fusong smirked, “All scenery, down to the smallest details, within a hundred feet would be clear as day. Even if there’s obstruction by the White Mist.”

“However, I regret that despite exhausting all my contributions accumulated over the years, I could only borrow this low-grade Mirror of Celestial Measurement from the Academy Headmaster. If it were a higher grade, it could scan clear everything within a radius of tens of thousands of miles in a blink.”

“Inspecting a hundred feet in all directions is no small feat. With such a potent tool, our exploration of the White Mist will be twice the success with half the effort.” Li Fan couldn’t help but commend.

Huang Fusong added on, “The Mirror of Celestial Measurement originates from the Tianxuan Mirror, hence when we submit the information we gather, we don’t need to accumulate and submit it all once we return. Instead, it records contributions in real time after the Mirror captures the surrounding area’s information.”

“There’s such a favorable condition?” Dong Fang Yao was elated, “I was somewhat worried that I’d need to return after regular intervals because it would be troublesome. Now, I can just charge into the White Mist single-mindedly.”

“I am not like you guys, who are rich and powerful. Being poor and penny-less, my only choice is to work harder!”

Patting his chest, Dong Fang Yao assured, “If there is a need for manual labor, leave it to me. You guys can just enjoy the show.”

Li Fan shook his head, “Brother Dong Fang, you jest. If it weren’t for you, how could I have had the opportunity to meet Brother Huang Fu? My early exploration of the White Mist, half of the merit goes to you!”

Dong Fang Yao was pleased hearing Li Fan’s words.

After discussing for a bit, the trio decided that they were sufficiently prepared and resolved to set off immediately.

“The ordinary White Mist areas will award a minimal contribution at most. If you want to receive a substantial reward, we still have to head to the unknown Mystical Realm. Even though we have the Mirror of Celestial Measurement to guide our way, the broad expanse of the White Mist is still akin to searching for a needle in the ocean. However, I recall Academy Headmaster Ji mentioning that Mystical Realms would attract and combine with each other. Thus it is highly likely for new realms to appear around known Mystical Realms. I happen to know a Mystical Realm within the White Mist Barrier of Tianyu Province named [Wandering Characters of the Script]. We might as well test our luck there.” Huang Fusong suggested.

“Wandering Characters of the Script? What kind of place is that?” Dong Fang Yao scratched his head, asking curiously.

“According to the known Mystical Realms, it is said to be at the lower end of the danger spectrum. However, the words inside can’t be fixed through any means and would float around the sky within the Mystical Realm like living creatures. It’s quite an unusual sight,” Huang Fusong briefly explained.

Li Fan nodded in agreement. Dong Fang Yao naturally had no objections.

Thus, the three of them used the True Boat of Universal Benevolence, following Huang Fusong’s guidance and plunged into the White Mist Barrier.

Upon entering the boundless White Mist, Huang Fusong tossed the Mirror of Celestial Measurement overhead.

A pale blue light radiated from the Mirror of Celestial Measurement, spreading all around, forming a circular area of hundred-foot radius with the True Boat of Universal Benevolence at its center.

Enveloped by the pale blue light, Li Fan squinted his eyes. After inspecting himself and finding nothing unusual, he put down his guard.

“Damned! Someone got in here before us,” Huang Fusong shook his head repeatedly.

“We have only just entered the White Mist Barrier, it’s only natural that others would beat us to it,” Despite what Li Fan was saying, his attention was actually fully focused on the large map that has materialized in his Spirit Consciousness.

The map converging the vast majority of the area in a vast white. However, several tiny dots and thin lines have begun to appear, continuously overwhelming it.

The image magnified, a black dot indicating his location.

The surroundings were pitch-black in contrast to the vast white outside, forming a stark contrast.

“I can only see if the area has been explored, but not specifics on what exactly is inside the region,” Li Fan thought.

Li Fan was unsurprised by this occurrence. The Alliance of Thousands of Immortals’ goal in launching the exploration of the White Mist was clear. The data about the scenes within the White Mist were top secrets. How could they possibly let the cultivators serving as scouts know?

Huang Fusong piloted the True Boat of Universal Benevolence, taking the direction of the [Wandering Characters of the Script] Mystical Realm as his destination. He navigated around the pitch-black areas indicated on the map. Whilst en route, he earned contributions.

The boundless White Mist was like an endless ocean.

Along the journey, besides the White Mist, there was nothing else.

Li Fan checked his contribution points through the Mirror of Celestial Measurement and found that the increase was significantly slow.

Three to four days had passed, totaling just over two hundred points.

“Such a rate of earning is not slow for ordinary cultivators. But it’s useless for me.”

“No wonder Shuo Feng dismisses it.”

Apart from contribution points, there’s another type of credit called [Qingxuan Points] which can be used to exchange for special resources.

But Li Fan’s Qingxuan Points were at zero, thus he was unable to view the detailed list.
