Chapter 34: The Infinite Mirror

After the sexual intercourse with Fu Wei, two things came into light. Firstly, my conjecture about her using some sort of bewitching technique on me turned out to be true. Although I wasn't hundred percent sure, I believed in my senses. Secondly, because of my Ancient Sex Devil bloodline, I experienced a boost in my cultivation. I was already at the peak of Qi Assimilation and just need a push to enter Qi Master Realm.

Enthusiastic about breakthrough, I decided to halt my march towards Qinlian's house and instead made way to my home. I felt like I only needed some days of cultivation to break through and I didn't want to delay it. I already felt how weak I am during my confrontation with those Immortal Kings... forget about in front of the likes of Ouyang Luoshuang. I will do anything to not face that same misery!

...

"Finally!"

After seven days of rigorous cultivation, I finally broke through to Qi Master Realm. Every pore of my body tingled in elation, I was brimming with strength. With an intension of will, a spiral of Qi rose from my Dantian and energised my tired mind.

This realm was the extension of Qi Assimilation realm, here you need to master the art of Qi circulation, work on increasing efficiency and other basic techniques.

Not having stepped out for a week, obviously I felt sticky all around my body. After a quick bath, I left for the class. As I remember, today is the day we will be sent to Mortal Realms. I did felt bad for leaving Qinlian all alone these last few days but she was an understanding woman.

...

"Hey, where are we going?" I asked to Chen Fei.

Giving me weird look which remained on his face from the moment he found about my breakthrough, he explained, "we are going to 'Black Tower Of Repayment'. More specifically on its first floor. It lies on the boundary of Mortal and Immortal Section of Heavenly Academy. Contains within it is one of the five Godly Treasure: Infinite Mirror."

One of the five Godly Treasure? I have heard of it. Million years ago, there were five Godly Treasures that contained otherworldly powers and were one of the main reason for war between Gods and Devils. No one understood how they worked and what kind of energy it used, but one thing was clear, they were all Heaven-Defying. Now though, most of them were lost. Ancient texts describe that Infinite Mirror was a Godly Treasure that can take you anywhere you want in this world. And it was the only Godly Treasure whose location was publicly known in Gods Realm. As the others, no one has any idea.

As I was walking, deep in thinking, I bumped into a soft body.

Lifting my head, I found sullen Nanfeng Jiao looking back at me, who I assumed would have been angry if she didn't found out that I entered Qi Master Realm this morning. I could still remember the look of astonishment and envy in her eyes when teacher revealed this fact in front of everyone.

"Are you here to show off?" Her tone was milder and disheartened, significantly different than the fierce her I knew. Looks like my breakthrough hit her the hardest.

"Hardly. Do I really look like a man who will kick a down person? Don't worry though, I will send you letters about the scenery even when I become an Inner disciple. Haha."

Some fierceness returned in her eyes in the face of my blatant taunting.

"Is that so? And thank you, but I am not interested in any scenery."

"So what are you interested in? My nude pics? I got a couple of them, do you want it?"

"You! I hate you so much!" stomping her feet angrily, she simply scurried away.

I just shrugged my shoulder and walked casually behind the group.

After some time, we were standing in front of a colossal abysmal black tower. It was so tall that I couldn't possibly fathom it. Suddenly my face tensed... a familiar aura came into my contact... one of Devils. I glanced around but no one seems to be acting out of order, then I peered at the tower. Was it this?

Devils, especially a pure blooded like me, are prone to perceive other Devils breath easily. So I believe that either this tower is a devil... absurd as it might sound, or Devils are present inside it.

Actually, Devils below Immortal Realms were pretty much same as normal cultivator, and they use the same Heaven and Earth Qi as others. But when they enter Immortal Realm, they start cultivating Devilish Qi, which is very tyrannical, and violent. Because of it vicious nature, many times it transformers Devil cultivators into an all-hating rampaging Devil, massacring anything in sight.

People in Gods Realm believe that cultivating Devilish Qi is going against the natural law and order, and is the main reason Devils are hated so much. As for Devils that do not cultivate Devilish Qi, they are termed as heretics by Devils themselves and are mostly executed publicly since they believe not cultivating it is abandoning their ancestry.

"Teacher, what is this Black Tower Of Repayment?"

"Oh! Little Bai, you are interest in this tower?" The teacher of our class looked at me with a smile.

I nodded my head after a brief period.

The old man looked at the tower, eyes narrowing before he shook his head slightly. "If you become an Immortal, maybe then you will discover its secrets. But right now, you don't need to know."

I didn't ask further.

Following a short walk inside it, I was standing in front of a palm sized plain mirror.

The Infinite Mirror!

It had a golden wooden frame fitted around a rectangle reflective glass... thats it.

If I didn't know it, I would have thought of it as nothing but a simple mirror. Though seeing my classmates disappear with a bright flash in front of me, all my doubts disappeared alongside them.

Finally, it was our turn.

"I hope you remember your mission."

"Yes, teacher." Me, Chen Fei and Nanfeng Jiao replied in unison.

The old man nodded and subsequently our existence faded with a blinding flash.
