Eight steps, seven steps, six steps... They were getting closer and closer to the ancient mirror. Ye Lanxuan's hand was already on the hilt of the sword. Hua Yue and the others' hearts were in their throats. Although they had just taken a reassurance pill, they still felt uneasy instinctively because it concerned Mu Hanyan's safety.
Finally, Mu Hanyan took another step, and the dazzling lightning burst out from the ancient mirror again.
Mu Hanyan's Hanxiao sword was also unsheathed, but just when the sword was about to be swung, Mu Hanyan suddenly stopped.
An unprecedented sense of familiarity surged into her heart. The power contained in the lightning pillar was so familiar. Although it was emitted from the ancient mirror, it felt like it came from her own blood.
Countless mystical secrets, as if countless mysterious secrets were hidden in that pillar of lightning, waiting for her to explore and discover.
"Be careful!" Everyone was shocked to see Mu Hanyan suddenly stop and even put away her sword. They didn't know what she was thinking. Hua Yue and others subconsciously rushed towards Mu Hanyan.
"Don't attack!" Ye Lanxuan stretched out his hand to block them.
Like Hua Yue and the others, he couldn't see Mu Hanyan's intentions or what she was thinking. But judging by Mu Hanyan's actions, it was obvious that she had thought it through, not just by accident.
If I'm not mistaken, she must have discovered something or realized something, otherwise she would never do such a thing. Ye Lanxuan still chose to trust her choice without reservation.
Hua Yue and the others suddenly woke up. Mu Hanyan was definitely not a reckless person. She must have her reasons for doing this. If they rushed forward rashly, they might end up ruining the situation. So they all stopped. However, they were still worried and couldn't let go.
The huge pillar of lightning swallowed Mu Hanyan in an instant. The majestic power of heaven made everyone tremble. For a moment, Hua Yue and others didn't even dare to look at Mu Hanyan, for fear that she would disappear before their eyes.
But soon, they felt relieved.
Shrouded in the lightning pillar, Mu Hanyan was surprisingly safe and sound. The destructive force did not cause her any harm.
Everyone looked at Qu Shanling again. The destined person his master referred to was indeed Mu Hanyan, and his words were not groundless or casual remarks. He was clearly referring to what happened today.
Everyone was full of admiration and yearning for this extraordinary person whom they had never met before.
Bathed in the dazzling lightning, Mu Hanyan walked forward step by step. Her movements were not slow, but to outsiders, every step she took seemed as if she had walked through thousands of years of reincarnation. In that lightning column, time and space seemed to have been completely distorted.
When Mu Hanyan took five steps and stood in front of the ancient mirror, she was actually only a few feet away from Hua Yue and the others, but everyone had a strange illusion that they were thousands of miles away and tens of thousands of years apart.
Mu Hanyan's own feeling was even more bizarre. After just five steps, her body felt like it had undergone a baptism of thunder and lightning. All the impurities were cleared out of her body, her energy became extremely pure, and her meridians became several times stronger than before. Her heart meridian, which was already as vast as the sea and several times stronger than that of ordinary practitioners, became even more vast and boundless.
What surprised Mu Hanyan the most was that she didn't feel any pain or strangeness at all, as if her meridians and heart vessels were supposed to be like this, and the lightning pillar was just helping her to recover to her original state.
Finally, Mu Hanyan stopped and reached out to pick up the ancient mirror.
"Om" the ancient mirror made a clear sound like the sound of immortals, so lively and so joyful, just like a child who had been lost for many years found his long-lost relatives.
With that clear sound, a wonderful rhythm surged between heaven and earth.
Hua Yue and the others were shocked, their minds instantly went blank, and countless dream-like scenes flashed before their eyes. They were extremely real, yet blurry and hazy, making it impossible to see clearly no matter how hard they tried.
Mu Hanyan's gaze lingered on the ancient mirror, her mind lost in thought. Strange visions appeared in the mirror, reflected in her mind.
"No, you can't die. You are my only opponent. I want to prove to you that I am the strongest in the world. You can't die..." In the ancient wasteland, Xing Tiannu half-knelt in front of the mysterious woman, shouting with anger and sadness.
However, the mysterious woman's body had become cold and she had lost her life forever.
This is the scene where the mysterious woman was ambushed and unfortunately died.
The picture changed and another scene appeared before my eyes.
"Impossible, impossible. With my talent and my temperament, how could I go astray? This is impossible..." On a thousand-foot cliff, a woman looked up to the sky and howled, her voice full of unwillingness and indignation.
Although she is only twenty-three or twenty-four years old, her aura has reached the peak of a great swordsman. With such age, such cultivation, and such aptitude, she is much stronger than Mu Hanyan in her previous life.
However, after feeling it more carefully, Mu Hanyan found that her breath was disordered and uneven, and it was obvious that she had gone astray when attacking the Sword Master.
With a long roar full of unwillingness, the woman suddenly exploded and turned into dust.
"Hahahaha, no matter how talented you are, you can't escape our plan!" An old man in black showed up and laughed wildly without restraint.
It turned out that the woman's obsession was not accidental, but the result of someone's conspiracy.
Then, the scene changed again.
"Who are you? I have no grudge against you, why do you want to kill me?" In the dim night, in an ancient ruin that has become a ruin, a young girl half-sitting on the ground asked sadly and angrily.
Several bodies fell beside her, and their actions clearly showed that they had sacrificed their lives to protect this girl.
A dozen sword masters in cyan robes surrounded her, each one radiating murderous intent and ferocious features, their swords dripping with blood. Although it was only an illusion, Mu Hanyan could still smell the thick scent of blood in the air.
The girl looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, and her strength was estimated to be around the third level of Sword Master. At that age and with that much strength, she was considered incredibly talented. But those men in black were all ninth level Sword Masters, some even Grand Sword Masters. A third level Sword Master simply couldn't contend with them. This girl was clearly doomed.
"You're going to die anyway, so why ask so many questions?" A great swordsman said sinisterly, and his cold sword pierced the girl's heart fiercely.
The girl let out a scream and died. Until her death, her eyes were full of confusion, unwillingness and resentment.
The green-robed swordsman's wild laughter slowly disappeared from Mu Hanyan's sight.
...Pictures flashed quickly before Mu Hanyan's eyes.
