第七百六十一章 镜内悟神通

"It's like the more I get hit, the less effective my techniques become," Li Fan thought to himself with a slight shock.

Li Fan’s methods were becoming increasingly ineffective.

However, Suoxiong was growing stronger with each strike.

In the end, Li Fan left under the pretext that he could not withstand it and needed time to think of new divine powers.

Instead of going elsewhere, he directly headed for Tianquan State's Heavenly Mirror, using his privilege at level 35 Derivation.

Unlike what he had expected, instead of a direct portal appearing in the Heavenly Mirror space, he was given a specific time and location. He would have to wait there until someone led him in; no latecomers allowed.

Li Fan arrived at Tianquan City according to the agreed-upon time, standing before a tall stone mountain shaped like a lotus.

A middle-aged cultivator had already been waiting for him. The man had a small beard and was wearing a blue Daoist robe. He looked Li Fan over curiously but greeted him politely, saying, "I am Wang Wan, at your service."

Based on the aura he sensed, Li Fan judged that Wang Wan's cultivation level was at least Transcendent Spirit. He returned the greeting, "I am Li Fan, at your service."

After a brief exchange of introductions, they both nodded and stopped talking.

"Level 35 Derivation privilege is not just about having strong cultivation; it must involve various connections within the Immortal Alliance," Li Fan thought to himself with understanding.

A moment later, another woman cultivator wearing a tight white outfit arrived at the top of the mountain.

After exchanging greetings, she remained silent and waited quietly.

Li Fan learned her name was Deng Minxi.

No more cultivators came after that.

It took nearly an incense stick's worth of time before faint spatial ripples appeared above the mountain peak.

It seemed as if a transparent door had been cut out by invisible threads. A black-robed cultivator stepped through it and swept his gaze over them, confirming their identities.

"Follow me," the black-robed cultivator said in a deep voice.

Without any visible action on his part, the transparent door expanded instantly, enveloping Li Fan and the others.

A burst of dazzling light followed, and the door carried them away from sight.

Familiar sensations washed over him.

It was like when he had infiltrated the root of the universe in Tianling State. His flesh and bones seemed to dissolve and transform.

When Li Fan regained consciousness, he found himself back in his black-and-white line form, but unlike before, there appeared to be some mysterious force in this vast black-and-white space. It suppressed him, preventing his lines from gradually fading away.

Li Fan silently sensed the subtle restraining power on him and thought, "This must be the Heavenly Mirror's protective measure."

"Since we're here to understand divine powers, without this protection, ordinary cultivators might be completely assimilated by this space in no time," he mused.

"But based on my experiences in the root of the universe and my understanding of a similar life-sapping technique, I should last longer than most."

Li Fan looked around.

Deng Minxi and Wang Wan were also in line form nearby, but their forms differed from theirs. Deng Minxi was smaller, looking like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl. Wang Wan's appearance had changed to that of an old man despite his unchanged body.

Wang Wan seemed to have been here before, flying forward with ease.

Deng Minxi initially looked confused and fearful but quickly adapted, following Wang Wan towards the center of this black-and-white space.

Li Fan pondered for a moment before joining them.

During their flight, Li Fan noticed that this place was different from where he had seen the Heavenly Mirror create its own sub-mirror in his previous life. It wasn't as vast or independent but seemed to have some connection.

"Essentially, it's still the Heavenly Mirror, just with different functions," Li Fan thought with a sudden realization.

After not much time, they arrived at the center of the black-and-white space, where an elevated platform was built from countless intersecting lines.

Deng Minxi and Wang Wan landed on this platform.

The line representing their feet became chaotic, spreading into numerous thin black threads that seemed to connect with the ground below.

This scene looked a bit eerie.

Li Fan followed suit after a moment of contemplation.

In an instant, his vision was filled with vibrant colors.

Numerous characters fell like a waterfall before forming several lines of text:

"**Cultivator Li Fan has been connected."**

"Please demonstrate the divine power you wish to derive in your mind."

"Based on the current cultivation level of Cultivator Li Fan, the maximum power limit for this derivation is set at Transcendent Spirit."

"Remaining derivation time..."

A countdown appeared, with only ten hours left.

Before the Heavenly Mirror, he had to be cautious.

But since this was a rare opportunity, he needed to maximize his benefits.

The shocking **'Disorder'** divine power couldn't be shown.

Li Fan pondered for a moment and made up his mind.

"The space here in the Heavenly Mirror is so similar to the root of the universe."

"If my guess is right, it's parsing the process of world creation."

"Given that..."

Li Fan focused on the various insights he had about the **'Reversing Five Elements Life-Death Sword.'**

The **'Reversing Five Elements Life-Death Sword'** was a divine power Li Fan derived based on his understanding of the **Life-Death Pathway**, built upon the Great Five Elements Annihilation Sword.

However, at only the Embryonic Spirit stage, his understanding of life and death was rather shallow.

His main body's innate talent for comprehension wasn't as extraordinary as his avatar Xu Bai’s.

Since he had derived it, its practical use had been limited.

He mostly used it like a regular Annihilation Sword.

As for the "creation" function, it was currently only useful for creating spirit stones with one hand, which was rather useless.

"I hope this brings me some surprises," Li Fan thought.

As he meditated on his insights about the **'Reversing Five Elements Life-Death Sword,'** the lines connecting him to the platform began to move like they were being gently brushed by a breeze.

The blackness of the lines intensified, as if something was being transmitted.

In just moments, feedback from the Heavenly Mirror arrived before Li Fan's eyes.

He saw the process of the Five Elements Heaven and Earth's formation again, followed by countless fleeting images forming an immense tree with numerous branches.

Li Fan stood at the base of this tree, about to make a decision.
