Chapter 102: The Shock of the Sect Masters, the Time-Reversal Mirror
The other disciples of the Supreme Purity Sect could not feel it, but Gu Xi felt that there were a few more unknown auras nearby. They seemed to have concealed themselves well, but Gu Xi’s spiritual sense was too powerful and had already caught their traces. There were even Nirvana stage experts.
Gu Xi guessed that they were sent by the major forces in the Capital to keep an eye on him. After all, the Sword Mountain incident had shaken the entire Capital, and those Divine Weapons that had disappeared without a trace were still missing.
The experts of the major sects all moved out, but they did not find any relevant traces or clues. Even the top-grade Magic Treasures that could be used to trace back time were not found.
At this moment, the Sect Masters and elders of the major sects had arrived at the place where Sword Mountain used to be, but it was now flat ground.
An old man with white hair and beard waved his long sleeves, and countless divine powers gushed out. An ancient-looking mirror appeared in the air.
This mirror was carved with dense patterns and ancient characters. The sun and moon were carved on the left and right, and in the middle was an exquisite time wheel. As the sun and moon changed, the time wheel also slowly rotated.
However, it seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep. There was nothing reflected on it. It was extremely strange.
As he muttered, the originally empty mirror gradually revealed a verdant mountain peak. Layers upon layers of mountains were filled with an indescribable mystery. It was the appearance of the Sword Mountain in the past.
When everyone saw this, they could not help but reveal happy expressions. “The Time-reversal Mirror is indeed useful. When we see this, we will be able to know who the culprit is.”
However, the image on the mirror did not move at all. It did not change even for a moment.
“Sect Master Li, What’s wrong? In order to find the culprit, please activate it quickly.”
Faced with their questions, Sect Master Li had some bitterness that he could not say. In the past, when he activated the Time-reversal Mirror, it was always extremely easy. However, this time, there was a powerful resistance.
It was to the extent that even he had to expend a lot of effort to activate it. Being able to have such an image was already his greatest limit. Activating the Time-reversal was simply a fantasy.
He gritted his teeth and said, “Everyone, don’t be anxious. I’m activating it.”
Looking at the bean-sized beads of sweat on Sect Master Li’s forehead and his unsightly expression, everyone had an ominous premonition in their hearts. One had to know that Sect Master Li was very powerful. It was not as if he had not used the Time-reversal Mirror in the past. However, it had never been as difficult as it was now.
Screech!
The mirror suddenly let out a sharp cry, giving everyone a fright. They did not know what had happened, and even the scene was affected, becoming incomparably distorted.
After that, a powerful airflow surged out, like a volcanic eruption. Sect Master Li, who was standing at the side, did not have time to react and defend before he was pushed hundreds of meters away.
If another Sect Master had helped him, he would have fallen to the ground in a sorry state. The smell of blood rolled in his mouth and he spat out a large mouthful of blood.
“Sect Master Li, are you alright?”
Everyone rushed forward to ask, but Sect Master Li seemed to have seen something unbelievable. He pointed to the sky and the others quickly looked over.
The scene in the mirror became extremely distorted. The mountain seemed to have been erased out of thin air. There was no mark at all. As for how it happened and the process, it was impossible to see.
The Sect Masters were confused. They had used the Time-reversal Mirror before, but there had never been such a strange phenomenon.
“What, what is this situation?”
As soon as the voice fell, a shocking Sword Intent came from the sky, but there was no image in the mirror.
It seemed to come from the void space. Shockingly, this sword could even pierce through space and form into substance. It used the mirror as a medium and came to the world.
Everyone’s hair stood on end, and goosebumps appeared on their bodies uncontrollably.
They were all Nirvana stage experts, and there were even those who were in the mastery level. When faced with such Sword Intent, they felt like ants. It was as if as long as the sword wielder wanted to, their souls would immediately be destroyed and vanish into thin air.
One had to know that these were powerful Sect Masters and elders who were famous everywhere. Now, they were like ordinary cultivators who were at the mercy of this sword. One could imagine how powerful this kind of power was.
Looking at the mirror that was still a vast expanse of white, everyone felt as if they had been locked onto by the God of Death. An unprecedented terror swept over them, causing them to turn pale with fright. “Quick, quickly close the Time-reversal Mirror!”
They had a premonition that if they really waited for this Sword Intent to penetrate the mirror, even if all of them worked together, they would still not be able to match this sword.
Sect Master Li was also flustered as he formed seals with his hands. He was afraid that if they were a moment too late, they would die here.
A powerful and terrifying aura approached. It was as if it would arrive in front of them in just a second. Everyone subconsciously revealed fearful expressions. The shadow of death hung over their heads, and they could not get rid of it.
The powerful pressure forced them to not even be able to lift their heads. Hence, they did not see the shadow of the man that flashed past in the mirror.
As they spoke, the Time-reversal Mirror dimmed and suddenly fell from the sky. Everything returned to calm and nothingness and the terrifying aura disappeared.
Everyone could not help but heave a sigh of relief, as if they had just walked out from the gates of Hell. Their backs were already drenched in a cold sweat.
After a long while, someone finally spoke, “What kind of power was that? It did not seem like it could be created by humans. Could it be that it was the cause of the collapse of Sword Mountain?”
The Sect Masters looked at each other. One had to know that their status was high and respected, and they were very powerful. It had been a long time since they had such a miserable and fearful feeling.
It was as if a knife was placed on their necks, and that their lives were in the hands of that mysterious power.
