The news of the Phoenix Holy Land's reappearance swept across the entire Emperor Yao Continent. People from the Central, Western, Southern, and Northern States, as well as Penglai Immortal Island, all came to negotiate with Shengjing in the Eastern State, hoping to get a share of the spoils.
Emperor Liang was adept at dealing with people. He first sent an envoy to refuse the invitation on the grounds that the martial arts competition had ended. Later, after the four continents and the immortal island reluctantly brought out countless rare and precious materials and paid huge entrance fees, Emperor Liang stepped forward to decide to allocate ten slots to each continent.
As a result, the number of people entering the holy land increased to 150, and Shengjing suddenly became much more crowded.
Chu Xinxin became incredibly popular in Shengjing after winning first place.
This can probably be seen from the fact that she was stopped a total of 108 times on her way from Zichen Palace to Siyin Pavilion.
Upon entering Siyin Pavilion, Ya Wen, who had followed her all the way, hooked her arm around her neck and teased, "Xin Xin, you're so popular!"
Chu Xinxin rolled her eyes at her: "Do you want this good fortune?"
She didn't even want to talk anymore. All 108 of them drew their swords and wanted to fight her right away. She refused, but they tried to force her.
Fortunately, the people of the Prefect of the Capital are everywhere, both inside and outside the city, so they can catch these kinds of people easily, which is why she was able to escape.
Ya Wen: "No one else can enjoy this good fortune, you should keep it for yourself. By the way, why didn't you come with the Pavilion Master?"
“The Holy Land is now fully operational and ready for operation. He will go there to oversee it.”
"What! It's already open!"
"Yeah, I reckon we can get in this afternoon."
Yawen also made it into the top 100, and immediately lost the mood to chat, running back to prepare.
Before the afternoon, Chu Xinxin received a message talisman instructing her to go to Phoenix Holy Land.
When she arrived, Phoenix Holy Land was already surrounded by layers of people. The gate of the Holy Land was wide open, and Xiao Linyi stood in mid-air riding the wind. The people around her looked at the gate with eager and greedy eyes, but no one dared to step forward.
Chu Xinxin found Ya Wen: "Why aren't we allowed in yet? What are we waiting for?"
Yawen: "I guess I'm waiting for you."
If Emperor Liang, who had arrived long ago, had heard Ya Wen's words, he would have nodded vigorously like a chicken pecking at rice. Xiao Linyi was just relying on his high cultivation level so that no one could beat him and he could get everyone to wait with him for his little wife.
Sure enough, Xiao Linyi came over to Chu Xinxin after seeing her, and only then was Emperor Liang able to announce the official start of the Phoenix Holy Land expedition.
Xiao Linyi handed a black brocade pouch to Chu Xinxin: "Go inside and find a secluded place to take it out."
Chu Xinxin was filled with doubt: "What is this?"
Xiao Linyi: "You'll find out when the time comes. Just remember to only do it when no one is around."
Chu Xinxin put the brocade pouch into her sleeve and summoned the fire phoenix. Sensing the pure phoenix aura at the other end of the door, the fire phoenix flew in with a "whoosh" before Chu Xinxin could give the order.
The door is engraved with a teleportation array; those who enter will randomly appear in various locations within the holy land.
By sheer coincidence, Chu Xinxin appeared directly above a lake, completely unprepared, and both she and the phoenix were soaked to the bone.
"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey." Chu Xinxin spat out the lake water in her mouth. "System, can you at least do something to help me? Just give me a heads-up."
System: [Sister, I'm so wronged! I'm not a prophet, but I can atone for my sins. I just scanned this holy site and found the phoenix egg!]
Chu Xinxin was overjoyed: "Really?!"
A Foundation Establishment stage cultivator's spiritual sense can only scan a radius of five or six kilometers. The Phoenix Holy Land is vast, and the system's ability to scan every corner of the Holy Land was a great help.
"Okay, I'm drawing the map now. Why don't you find somewhere to change your clothes first?"
Chu Xinxin picked up her poor fire phoenix and headed towards a small courtyard nearby.
As soon as she took off her outer robe, the brocade pouch that Xiao Linyi had given her fell out.
"I almost forgot." Chu Xinxin picked up the brocade pouch, looked it over from all sides, and only when no one was around did she carefully open it.
Inside the brocade pouch was a delicate little mirror. Chu Xinxin examined it but found no spiritual energy fluctuations; it seemed to be just an ordinary mirror.
The system scanned the room but found nothing, so Chu Xinxin had no choice but to put the mirror aside and change her clothes first.
After changing into a clean and refreshing little bellyband, Chu Xinxin turned her head casually and suddenly found that the mirror had become larger and was standing in the air.
"Ugh, what is this thing?" Chu Xinxin said as she put on her undergarment and walked toward the mirror.
Chu Xinxin's beautiful face was reflected in the mirror, with water droplets still dripping down her perfect jawline.
[Naturally beautiful, like a lotus rising from clear water, you look so lovely, sister.]
Chu Xinxin: "Children shouldn't watch others change clothes, or they'll get styes."
[Sister, don't worry, I'm a moral system. I usually close my eyes automatically at this point.]
"Don't close the mirror yet. Why do I feel like the person in this mirror is becoming less and less like me..."
It's not my imagination, I noticed it too.
The "Chu Xinxin" in the mirror slowly transformed into a person wearing a black robe, with a face completely different from Chu Xinxin.
"This is... um? Xiao Linyi?"
In reality, with just two blinks, Chu Xinxin in the mirror completely transformed into Xiao Linyi.
Xiao Linyi looked at Chu Xinxin, who was staring in disbelief outside, and found it somewhat amusing. He then stepped out of the mirror.
? ?
"You, you, you..." This was so unexpected that Chu Xinxin couldn't even speak.
Xiao Linyi shrunk the mirror and placed it in her hand: "This is a double mirror, a Heaven-level spiritual treasure. It can replicate a clone whose cultivation level does not exceed that of oneself. The original body's spiritual consciousness can be attached to the clone, which is actually no different from the original body. Due to the restrictions of the Holy Land this time, my current cultivation level is only at the late stage of Foundation Establishment."
The cultivation level must be no lower than that of the original body. In other words, it is possible to replicate someone with the same cultivation level as the original body!
System: [Sister, your man is amazing, he even has this kind of cheat code.]
Chu Xinxin: "So this is your clone?"
Xiao Linyi nodded: "Mm."
Does that mean Xiao Linyi's combat power is doubled? OMG! No wonder Xiao Linyi is called the number one person on the Emperor Yao Continent. One of them is already overwhelming, let alone two.
"Then wouldn't I be able to carry you with me wherever I go from now on?"
It's as if Xiao Linyi is made into a pendant and hung on her zither, so that it sways when she plays it.
“No, the person who replicates the dual mirrors can only exist for a certain period of time,” Xiao Linyi explained.
"Alright." Chu Xinxin said with some regret, then continued to tie her clothes.
Xiao Linyi looked down and saw that Chu Xinxin's camisole was clearly visible underneath her shirt.
"Chu Xinxin!" Xiao Linyi was so angry that his face turned red. This was the Phoenix Holy Land, where one could encounter danger or people with ill intentions at any time. How could Chu Xinxin take off her clothes as soon as she entered!
Chu Xinxin quickly raised her hands in surrender: "I fell into the water as soon as I teleported here. Look, my hair is still wet, and look, Fire Phoenix is still wet too."
Regardless of the reason, Xiao Linyi's top priority was for Chu Xinxin to get dressed!
He stepped forward, intending to drape his cloak over Chu Xinxin, when suddenly a voice came from behind: "Xinxin, is that you?"
Oh no, someone's come in?!
Chu Xinxin's first reaction was that Xiao Linyi couldn't be seen by anyone. She lunged forward, hooked Xiao Linyi's head, and pulled him into her arms to prevent anyone from seeing his face. Then she used her hands to cover his face, adding another layer of protection.
However, what Ya Wen saw upon entering was that Chu Xinxin was actively embracing a strange man and engaging in illicit activities!
Ya Wen's eyes widened in disbelief: "Xin Xin, how can you do this to the Pavilion Master?!"
