On the only golden-green leaf of the World Tree, a white screen mirror stands before you, as if it were a dimensional wall connecting two worlds.

The black dog barked in fright, seeing such a bizarre scene for the first time. It bared its teeth, flames swirled around its feet, and a moon floated above its head, ready to fight at any moment.

Green ivy perched on Li Ming's shoulder, sticking out a green leaf and trying to poke the moon on the black dog's head, but it couldn't reach it.

Li Ming stared at the mirror and said seriously, "Do the leaves of the World Tree really represent the three thousand worlds?"

He had previously deduced the World Tree.

However, the answer provided by "Dragon Armor Divine Chapter" is unknown.

In other words, there was no way to deduce it; he could only guess at the origin of the World Tree.

It may be related to the fallen figures from the heavens.

Because the tree grows more leaves and becomes more lush every time a character falls, it's easy to associate it with the World Tree.

Now, a strange mirror appears before my eyes, leading to who knows where.

"Could this be a mirrored passage connecting to other worlds? But which world does it connect to?" Li Ming stared at the mirror, but the mirror offered no answer.

The dragon-patterned wooden plaque at his waist trembled slightly, interacting with the mirror surface as if giving some kind of hint.

Li Ming asked, "What do you think?"

The black dog barked incessantly, but I couldn't understand it.

The green ivy was even more unaware.

Li Ming thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we go in and see what's going on ourselves?"

The black dog shook its head and retreated. It dared not touch the unknown, for fear of incurring great karmic consequences.

Li Ming glanced indifferently at the moon above the black dog's head, truly afraid of dying.

He then kicked it.

The black dog barked, but the barking stopped instantly as it was kicked into the white mirror. Li Ming, carrying the green ivy, also stepped into the mirror.

He felt nothing at all. When he finally felt something, Li Ming appeared in a new place.

This place is picturesque, surrounded by lush greenery, and utterly uninhabited.

"Eee-yah-yah".

The green ivy opened its eyes wide, gazing curiously at this new and wondrous world.

Li Ming scanned the area, trying to find the black dog, but he couldn't see it or know where it had been kicked.

But I'm not worried.

As long as it doesn't encounter a supreme-level powerhouse, it should be able to roam freely.

"Could it be that I have come to Dongsheng in Zuzhou?" Li Ming looked at the desolate mountains and carefully sensed them. The spiritual energy here was very thin, unlike the mountains of Dongsheng in Zuzhou.

I plan to ask someone where this place is first, and it would be best if it were Dongsheng.

It doesn't matter if it's not.

Having been cooped up in that wretched place, Yunmeng Sect, for tens of thousands of years, he felt like he was about to rot away.

Right now, it's like taking a break and going on a trip, but I don't know how long I can stay.

Suddenly remembering something, he looked down at the dragon-patterned wooden plaque at his waist. Sure enough, it had a time limit, and the number of characters displayed on it was 72, which meant he could stay here for three days.

Do you have a three-day New World tour experience card?

Li Ming smiled wryly, let Green Ivy grab him, and soared into the air.

After flying for less than ten kilometers, we finally discovered a populated area.

Li Ming landed and headed towards populated areas.

There is a teahouse of moderate size by the roadside.

There were two waiters in the teahouse, one old and one young, who looked like father and son.

Besides the father and son, there were five or six other strange-looking people in the teahouse. Their clothes and appearance didn't resemble those of powerful cultivators; they looked more like江湖人士 (jianghu figures).

He's quite sturdy and probably has some martial arts skills.

One man was drinking and shaking his leg, while the others, who didn't look like good people either, also shook their legs and stared at him.

He scanned them with his divine sense and thought, "Hmm, these people seem quite weak."

Li Ming walked up to the teahouse, glanced at the inexperienced man, looked at the owner, and asked, "Boss, may I ask what place this is?"

As soon as Li Ming spoke, several martial arts figures noticed him.

My first impression of him was that he was incredibly handsome, with a flawless, fair face and a spotless white feather robe, giving him an ethereal, otherworldly air, like a legendary immortal.

The more I look at him, the more handsome he seems; he's as good-looking as Pan An.

Why would a man need to be so good-looking? In chaotic times, is being good-looking useful?

It's useless.

"Are you a scholar?" The shopkeeper stared at Li Ming, his face dark and angry.

“Yes.” Li Ming nodded. He had read quite a lot of books, so it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call him a scholar. Saying he was a scholar would help him conceal his true identity.

"Have you gone mad from reading too much? Don't you even know where this is?" The boss never liked scholars; they were all talk about benevolence and righteousness, yet they still tried to rip him off for tea.

Once upon a time, a scholar was on his way to take the imperial examination. He kindly offered the drink to the scholar, but the scholar later betrayed him.

From then on, he had no liking for scholars.

Li Ming was suddenly stunned. This boss had a terrible temper. He just wanted to ask for directions, but he was actually scolded.

"Hahaha."

Several drunken江湖人士 (jianghu figures) laughed so hard they spat out saliva, saying, "Scholar, huh? You'd better leave quickly. This boss doesn't like scholars at all. It's already good enough that he didn't throw tea at you."

Li Ming asked, "There's a story behind this, isn't there? What exactly happened?"

“There was a scholar in this area who was on his way to take the imperial examination. He was captured by bandits. Seeing that the bandits made money quickly, the scholar joined the bandits’ leader and became their advisor. He was the one who charged the teahouse owner a toll and beat him up many times, so he hated the scholar.”

A thin man explained the whole story clearly.

"I see. Are you all going to suppress bandits and collect your reward?"

Li Ming finally understood.

He saw three bounty posters on the table, guessing that they were going to kill the three leaders, and said with a smile:

"You have a strong sense of justice! This era needs people like you who uphold justice. You heroes have a bright future ahead of you." Then, changing the subject, he asked, "So, may I ask, where is this place?"

"Don't misunderstand, we're not going to suppress bandits," said the bearded man.

"And who are you?"

“We collect tolls. That scholar just now was from our village. Otherwise, how do you think I would know so much about him?”

Upon hearing his words, Li Ming's lips twitched.

No wonder the boss was unhappy.

So these guys were thieves! They were drinking tea and collecting protection money right in front of them.

No wonder it's not enjoyable.

A burly man slammed his broadsword on the table and said, "Old man, let's finish our tea and pay up quickly, don't dawdle."

"I told you to hurry up! Hurry up, after you pay, we still have to go to the next place. It's always your place that's slow. Hurry up, we still have more than a dozen places to collect from. If you delay us from seeing the dragon, I'll kill you."

Li Ming noticed a key phrase: "Dragon? There are dragons here?"

"There's a girl named Little Dragon Girl who transformed into a dragon. It's really exciting. Now a lot of people are trying to catch her."

"Speaking of which, why do you, a scholar, talk so much nonsense? If you don't want to die, get lost."
