Chapter 257: 165, Emperor Jin World, Kunlun Mirror, Breakthrough Returning Core (4k8, please subscribe)
Before the two of them could pick up the Bronze Key, the key itself melted into the Bronze Immortal Door.
A great burst of light instantly exploded from the Immortal Door.
After the light dissipated, a spatial channel similar to the previous one formed.
[Mirror Master: Xu Hang.]
[Dao Fruit: Spring God Ju Mang (Shining), Six Caverns Immortal Official (Sovereign), Outer Dao Golden Body (Shining)...]
[World: Brocade Emperor (Returning Core - Prediction)]
[World: One to twenty.]
[Fate Grid: Justice Knight (Yellow)]
[Immortal Fate: None.]

This time, the Bronze Ancient Mirror has actively anchored the world. No, it shouldn’t be called the Bronze Ancient Mirror; it should be called... the Kunlun Mirror...
The name of this Bronze Ancient Mirror inexplicably surfaced in Xu Xing’s mind.
It was the divine artifact of the Queen Mother of the West, as told in myth!
In legend, the Kunlun Mirror possesses the ability to perceive the Heavenly Machine, know the past and the present, and travel through time and space. This perfectly matched the power of the Bronze Ancient Mirror.
Xu Xing had read widely and already had suspicions about the origin of the Bronze Ancient Mirror. Therefore, he wasn’t overly surprised to discover this mirror was the divine artifact held by the Queen Mother of the West.
After all, the Flying Feather Immortal Palace possessed a fragment of the Supreme Resonance Scripture, a Daoist Collection.
"If Friend Xiang wishes to enter this spatial channel, feel free to do so. Don’t mind me..."
After seeing the different time flow rates of the two worlds, Xu Xing planned to stay in the Bloodline World for a while.
The time flow rate between the Main World and the Bloodline World was one to thirty.
The time flow rate between the Main World and the Emperor Jin World was one to twenty.
The difference in time flow rates between the two worlds was significant.
My main body in the Main World is currently in secluded cultivation, breaking through to the Immortal Foundation Late Three Stages...
Going to the Emperor Jin World would allow him to experience a world more powerful than the Bloodline World. However, his cultivation in the Main World took precedence. He was nearly invincible in the Bloodline World. Staying in this realm was safer, as no enemy could threaten his life.
He would only consider entering the Emperor Jin World when he could make no further progress.
"Moreover," Xu Xing continued, voicing his inner concerns, "if I go out with you, I’m afraid you might be in danger. My physique... it’s not an ordinary one. If Demon Emperor You Taigu still exists in the world, I fear the moment I appear, it would arouse his desire. The cultivation method of the ’Cauldron Heart Technique’ can sense this Bronze Immortal Door. I expect it would also be sensed by Demon Emperor You Taigu in the outside world..."
He possessed two Immortal Fates and the Four Great Physiques. In the Bloodline World, a world with an incomplete legacy, no one could discern how powerful his physique truly was. However, if he entered the Emperor Jin World, that might not hold true.
Although Shi Yuyan also cultivated the "Cauldron Heart Technique," her aptitude was relatively ordinary.
Demon Emperor You Taigu existed 1,300 years ago. If he were still alive, given his ancient age, he would be at a realm equivalent to at least the Dao Pill or Nascent Soul Realm. Shi Yuyan’s current cultivation... To the Demon Emperor You Taigu of today, it would be insignificant. Therefore, Shi Yuyan needn’t temporarily worry about Demon Emperor You Taigu harming her when she left the Bloodline World.
"Brother Xu..."
Heavenly Fox King Xiang Jun hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed with Xu Xing’s arrangements.
In the Bloodline World, she had almost reached the pinnacle of her cultivation, and further progress was extremely difficult. Only by leaving the Bloodline World could she have a chance to advance further. The outside world held considerable appeal for her. She didn’t want to waste decades waiting in vain in this world.
Although cultivators had long lifespans, they couldn’t afford to waste time. Seizing every moment for cultivation was the true essence. Moreover, what Xu Xing had said made sense. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Xu Xing’s aptitude was extraordinary. Back then, Demon Immortal Kou Chun had taken Xu Xing as his direct disciple, intending to borrow his body to live another life. If Xu Xing entered the outside world, it was highly probable his physical body would be coveted by powerful individuals. In such a case, leaving with Xu Xing would not be a blessing, but rather a misfortune. It would be better for her to take Shi Yuyan to a different world alone.
"This is a shred of my divine soul..." she said. "In the future, it can serve as a token for contact between us. Please keep it safe, Daoist Brother Xu."
As Heavenly Fox King Xiang Jun, holding Shi Yuyan, was about to step into the Bronze Immortal Door, a thought suddenly struck her. She severed a strand of her divine soul, fashioned it into a nine-tailed fox-shaped token, and tossed it to Xu Xing.
The world was vast, and people were numerous. If they relied solely on names to find each other, they might never meet again in a lifetime within such a large world. Whether this Bronze Immortal Door teleported randomly or to a fixed location was still unknown. Heavenly Fox King believed that Xu Xing, already a peak power in this world, would undoubtedly be outstanding upon entering another realm. It was indeed necessary to maintain a good relationship with a great expert like him.
Xu Xing accepted the token and gave Heavenly Fox King Xiang Jun a Daoist salute.
The two exchanged courtesies.
Then, the Bronze Immortal Door trembled slightly, and the two women standing before it vanished.

After leaving the War God Temple, less than ten days remained before Moyun Palace’s closure. From the temple’s rooftop, Xu Xing found the spatial node leading to the Inner Three Palaces. He then arrived at Xuyun Hall, one of these palaces.
Void Cloud Palace, as its name suggested, was a complex of palaces built above the clouds.
Similar to his treasure hunt in Lake Heart Palace, Xu Xing headed straight for Void Cloud Palace’s main hall. In the palace buildings near the main hall, he found a treasure with a prohibition as intricate as that of the Crane Spirit Immortal Lamp.
It was a golden rope several zhang long.
He used array techniques and his Outer Dao Golden Body to wear down the prohibition on this golden rope.
Within those ten days, just one day before Moyun Palace closed, he finally broke through the golden rope’s prohibition.
Ancient Mysterious Treasure—Golden Word Rope.
Xu Xing toyed with the golden rope before coiling it around his waist.
