Chapter 9 The First Gate of Heaven: The Principle of Permanence

After buying the bronze mirror, Jiang Ge asked again,

"Is your shopkeeper there? I want to see him."

He wondered if the shopkeeper might be a skilled mirror grinder.

"Customer, I'm sorry, the owner has gone on a long journey and he won't be back for a long time, so we won't be able to see him for a while." The clerk replied.

Jiang Ge nodded.

Pack the ten small vanity mirrors and the bronze mirror into the backpack.

Jiang Ge walked out of the hidden mirror room, and walked around the shopping street twice, searching for materials for the Shadow Binding Ritual.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Jiang Ge returned to the dormitory.

…………

night.

Dragon Palace University, lecturer dormitory.

Today is sixteen.

Still full moon.

The quiet moonlight shines in from the window, illuminating the room brightly.

Jiang Ge didn't light the lamp, and sat on the bed thinking, holding the bronze mirror bought from the Tibetan mirror house in his hand.

"The ancient dream is connected to the fantasy world..."

Jiang Ge looked at the mirror and said softly.

It is mentioned in many books he has read that the fantasy world is beyond the reach of mortals, and there are seven heavenly gates standing in it.

They are the gates of fantasy.

If a mortal wants to enter the fantasy world, he must pass through the seven heavenly gates.

According to the rumors, the last step to becoming an immortal is to cross the gate of heaven with a complete body of soul and flesh to reach the fantasy world.

Its name is Feathering Ascension.

Of course, very few have been able to do this throughout the ages.

All of them have reached the extreme of mortals, only one step away from immortal gods, almost inhuman existence.

And most people's so-called entering the illusion world, in fact, is to free their own spirituality, enter the illusion world, and obtain knowledge materials from it.

More like a smuggling.

Compared with ascending and crossing the gate of heaven, the difficulty is one above the other.

However, even so, this kind of smuggling is still difficult for ordinary people.

Therefore, the fantasy world is a place that mortals cannot touch. This sentence is indeed the literal meaning——

People who can touch the fantasy world are, to some extent, already inhuman.

…………

Under the moonlight, on the bed.

Jiang Ge was lying half-recumbent, holding an exquisitely crafted bronze mirror.

The image in the mirror is slender, showing a young face.

Mentioned in the memory of the sprite apprentice.

When a person enters sleep, his own spirituality will unconsciously dissipate and diverge. If he is lucky enough and has a certain talent.

Then this person may follow the guidance of the dark to touch the edge of the fantasy world, the wall that separates the outer and inner fantasy worlds.

This is why in ancient legends, fantasy worlds are often associated with dreams.

Therefore, the first step in entering the fantasy world is to free oneself spiritually.

In short, the union of soul and body is no longer so strong.

It is similar to Taoism's ghost out of body.

According to folklore, the practice of sleeping in front of a mirror is very taboo, and it is believed that mirrors will suck away people's souls and scare people's souls away.

"But I'm different..."

Jiang Ge looked at himself in the mirror and said softly.

"I will sleep in front of the mirror tonight, and the mirror of my soul will open the way to the fantasy world for me..."

Jiang Ge's eyes gradually blurred.

The golden moonlight seemed to fill the whole world.

A gauze covering the world.

The mirror is also hazy.

In a trance.

Jiang Ge seemed to see his self in the mirror gradually fading away.

In its place was a glass-colored full moon.

Under the moon, there is a tiny figure.

If you look carefully, it seems to be a figure that is very familiar to him.

Under the moonlight, step by step forward.

"Did I go into the mirror?"

Jiang Ge said in surprise, and then fell into a dream.

……

in a dream.

The vast galaxy builds a bright silver snake.

Jiang Ge looked ahead.

Thoughts flutter like moths around a lamp.

Can't concentrate.

He seemed to have forgotten something.

Just remember that I have come a long, long way.

Across the emerald green mountains, through the boundless desert, sailing across the silent ocean...

Accompanying him all the time is the glazed moon that occupies half of the sky above his head.

In the distance, he saw a vast lake, the surface of which was like a mirror.

Jiang Ge moved forward.

But he suddenly discovered that he had stepped into the water at some point.

And the glazed moon above his head also rose from the lake at some point.

The water and the sky are connected, and the sky is the same color.

"Mirror Lake, according to legend, the place where Yue was born."

However, Jiang Ge knew that this was not the real Mirror Lake, but just the manifestation of his dream.

Because the real mirror lake is deep in the fantasy world.

But he didn't hesitate and walked into the lake.

Cool touch.

The moonlight-colored lake filled the surroundings, but he didn't feel suffocated in the slightest.

As if he turned into a swimming fish, he followed the lake water to the deepest part of the lake and dived deep.

Dive, dive, dive...

The depth of this lake seems to have surpassed the limit of human thinking.

At last, at the bottom of the lake.

He seemed to have come to another world and saw something unbelievable.

It was a towering city wall that stretched across the sky and the earth.

It doesn't seem appropriate to describe it as a city wall, because it doesn't look like a city wall at all.

It's like a thick layer of skin covering the flesh and blood.

Jiang Ge suddenly realized that the flesh and blood cortex was the skin of the world he lived in.

But then, his attention was drawn to other things.

It was a huge pitch-black stick, taller than the city wall, piercing through the skin of the world like a nail, firmly fixing it to the flesh and blood skeleton of the world.

"Dinghai Needle..."

This was Jiang Ge's first thought when he saw it, but he shook his head immediately.

He knew that it was not some sea needle.

Those are the seven heavenly gates standing in the fantasy world.

"The First Gate of Heaven: The Principle of Eternity."

"City walls like flesh and blood, doors like rivets..."

The fantasy world is a place that subverts the cognition of ordinary people, where there are constant contradictions.

He came to the door of that unattainable first day.

Towering and vast, it seems that it is not enough to describe its greatness.

From the memory of that spooky apprentice, he learned that three elements were required to enter the Heavenly Gate.

The first element is to make oneself free from spirituality and come to the gate of heaven.

With the help of the mirror and the moon, he has already achieved this point.

The second element is the key to open the gate of heaven, a correct secret biography.

He also already possessed the secret biography belonging to Mirror Moon, which is one of the three kinds of knowledge that can subvert the principle of eternity.

And the third element is also the most important element - desire.

If secrets are the key, then desire is the driving force for turning the key.

In other words, this is the qualification that those who enter the illusion world should have.

And at this moment, Jiang Ge seemed to hear it.

A deep voice asked in his ear.

"What kind of desire makes you pursue the fantasy world?"

The moment he heard this sound, Jiang Ge knew it.

This voice came from his heart, so there was no point in cheating.

After thinking for a while, he raised his head and gave the answer.

"Strength, I pursue the power that can get rid of the current predicament..."
