“Mirror Guardian?” Ouyang Zixin placed her hands on the surface of the mirror, feeling as if she was about to merge with it. To be safe, she had Nameless standing by, ready for action. However, before she could subdue the mirror, she suddenly heard those four words echoing in her Mind.
Could this be the name of the mirror? Just like the shield that Yun Tianmo had subdued, called the Source Serpent Scale Shield, every Mystical Artifact has its own name. What does this mean? Is it actively telling her its name?
Yun Tianmo naturally heard Ouyang Zixin's words. His hands, which were clasped behind his back, tightened unconsciously but soon relaxed again. Although he had never seen this “Mirror Guardian,” he had heard about it many times. This Mystical Artifact was not an ancient relic; rather, its History was relatively short, dating back about seventy or eighty years when it became famous in the Yuhai Continent. The master who crafted this Mirror Guardian reportedly poured all his life’s cultivation into it to ensure that his descendants would receive protection for a long time. However, later rulers, driven by greed, forcibly took it away without regard for propriety or shame.
In the end, this master could not protect the Mystical Artifact for his descendants at the moment of his death and died with regret. His family was subsequently erased from History. This was an era where History was written by those in power, and because it involved the rulers of that time, very little information has been passed down. It was unexpected that this Mirror Guardian would appear here.
“Focus!” As soon as Yun Tianmo regained his senses, he noticed that Ouyang Zixin was joking around with Nameless. This Little Woman truly was a handful and made him uneasy. Subduing a Mystical Artifact was an incredibly important task, yet she treated it so lightly. Although this Mirror Guardian wasn't very old, it was indeed a rare treasure.
“Oh.” After being reminded by Yun Tianmo, Ouyang Zixin felt that she might not be taking things seriously enough. She recalled how intense and perilous it had been when he subdued the Source Serpent Scale Shield, and how she had inexplicably entered some kind of illusion afterward. Thinking of this made her shiver. She couldn't afford to be distracted; if she suddenly found herself in some illusion as well, she wasn't sure she could break free like Yun Tianmo did.
The surface of the Mirror Guardian rippled with increasing waves. The layers of ripples became denser and spread outwards faster and faster, making Ouyang Zixin feel as though she might be swept away by the waves. However, her hands were merely resting on the surface of the mirror; those so-called waves were just a visual effect and not actual water waves.
“Yun Tianmo. What should I do next?” In terms of subduing a Mystical Artifact, Ouyang Zixin was a novice. The half-baked technique she was attempting to use was something she had just learned from watching how Yun Tianmo subdued a Mystical Artifact. She only knew to use her Mysterious Energy to communicate with the Mystical Artifact, then subdue it. But now that it was her turn, it seemed like none of that applied.
Hearing her plea for help, Yun Tianmo slowly spoke: “To subdue a Mystical Artifact, you must suppress it with your Mysterious Energy.”
So it's about using force against force? As long as her Mysterious Energy surpassed its own, then it would obediently listen and become her Mystical Artifact?
“Does it have to be this way? Can't we negotiate?”
As soon as these words left Ouyang Zixin's mouth, even Nameless wanted to roll his eyes at her. Communicate? What kind of negotiation could you have with a Mystical Artifact? It's surprising that such an idea even crossed her mind.
This whimsical method of communicating with the Mystical Artifact is probably something that no one else on the Yuhai Continent could agree upon with her. Even Nameless found it hard to believe, let alone others. However, an unexpected event occurred here: the usually calm and wise Yun Tianmo began to seriously contemplate Ouyang Zixin's words.
Nameless's complaints were not hidden from Ouyang Zixin, so she naturally "heard" them. Just as she was about to challenge him, she saw Yun Tianmo deep in thought, which made her feel proud! Look, look, even Yun Tianmo thinks this possibility exists! The look in Nameless's eyes was filled with pride.
"Oh my, Master, what are you so proud of in front of Nameless? Nameless knows nothing about the Mystical Artifact." Nameless covered her face, feeling that her master was becoming increasingly unreliable. It seemed that not showing her face while traveling on the Yuhai Continent was a good thing—an excellent way to avoid embarrassment.
How did he end up with such an unreliable master?!
Before Nameless could wallow in self-pity for too long, Yun Tianmo spoke again. First, he affirmed that Ouyang Zixin's idea was feasible. Then he instructed her to try adding her Mental Power into the Mysterious Energy, essentially releasing her consciousness to resonate with the Mirror Guardian. If resonance could be achieved, then perhaps it would be possible to subdue the Mirror Guardian without using violent means.
Ouyang Zixin was delighted upon hearing this; how had she not thought of it? She quickly closed her eyes and concentrated her Mental Power within her Mind, allowing the Mysterious Energy to circulate through her brain before releasing her consciousness.
With everything prepared, Ouyang Zixin opened her eyes and released her consciousness. She aimed to control it to penetrate the mirror's surface and enter its inner world. After all, the ripples it produced were indeed intriguing; what kind of world existed within that mirror?
Thud—
Buzz—
In a situation where Yun Tianmo and Nameless could not perceive anything, Ouyang Zixin connected with the Mirror Guardian. This brought her joy; Yun Tianmo truly had a way. The method seemed simple but was hard to conceive because who would think that a Mystical Artifact could communicate with a person? It was akin to how humans do not genuinely converse with animals; it is merely a form of self-talk for spiritual solace.
"Mirror Guardian, guard the heart and protect the master..."
A deep voice resonated in Ouyang Zixin's Mind. This time it was different from when she previously heard the mirror introduce itself; this time there was genuinely a voice coming through. Last time had only been a feeling—those four words seemed to have suddenly appeared in her Mind.
"Mirror Guardian, guard the heart and protect the master." Ouyang Zixin repeated this phrase in her mind. Then there was another buzzing sound in her Mind, and she felt an ethereal sensation as if she were about to float away. Although she had been recovering from severe injuries last time and had not fully healed yet, now she felt her physical condition gradually returning to its peak state. The cautiousness of not daring to use Mysterious Energy freely began to fade away...
"Are you willing to be My Lord?"
"Of course!"
"Code phrase."
Uh, there's a code phrase? No way!
"Is there a hint?" Ouyang Zixin suddenly felt that this might not be some Mystical Artifact, but rather a high-tech product that accidentally crossed over here. It could even be from the same hometown.
"I'll share half of my juice with you, what's the next line?"
"Love is meant to be shared."
"Recognition complete!"
Oh my, this guy must also be a product of crossing over!
This setting... is really bizarre. What if I've never heard this song?! (To be continued.)
P.S.: The revisions are complete, please rest assured.
