Mortal Mirror

Li Ergou glanced at Ji Wuming. Since he had nothing else to do, he decided to refine the hair first. As for the original hair, it was too strange, so he casually threw it into the starry sky, wondering if it would die without a host.

With a plan in mind, he sat down cross-legged. Now that his divine sense was much stronger, refining such things would be much easier.

Time flew by, and three days later...

Li Ergou reached out, and where his hand had been bare, there was now a black ring.

With a thought, the ring unfolded and transformed into a pitch-black glove that clung to his hand.

As he willed it, countless strands of hair sprouted rapidly from the glove.

In the blink of an eye, they grew to be over ten feet long, dancing wildly in the air, transforming into a sharp sword one moment and a whip the next, truly versatile and magical.

Li Ergou's face lit up with joy. He hadn't expected to gain another weapon. This thing was excellent, easy to carry, and capable of delivering unexpected blows.

However, using it consumed a considerable amount of his divine sense.

Truthfully, he hadn't fully refined it, only enabling its basic use. How it could further transform would require further study in the future.

He secretly rejoiced, thinking that even just obtaining this one item made the trip worthwhile.

Just as he was celebrating, Ji Wuming groaned softly and slowly opened his eyes, a hint of joy flashing within them.

He chuckled and said, "Excellent, truly excellent! My divine soul has become much more solid. If this continues, the day I master my divine skill, I can retrieve my physical body.

And then, there will be nowhere in the world I cannot go. Peerless Sword尊 Yu Tongtian, you old dog, just wait! This ten-thousand-year-old grudge... I swear I won't be human if I don't avenge it!"

Li Ergou, hearing this, thought disdainfully, "Why make such an oath? You aren't human to begin with."

But he could only think it in his mind, not daring to say it aloud. He looked at Ji Wuming and said, "Senior, now that you've absorbed that divine soul power, shouldn't we leave?"

Ji Wuming looked over. Li Ergou was full of energy, showing none of the madness he had expected. He was slightly puzzled but didn't dwell on it, as it wouldn't benefit him if this guy went crazy now.

However, this kid knew too many of his secrets. Once he got out, he absolutely couldn't let this kid live.

He sneered inwardly and then said, "Of course. This body has no value anymore. Let's continue searching for the next one."

With a thought, he transformed into a stream of light and flew into the blood bead.

Li Ergou looked at the blood bead for a moment, paused, and his eyes flashed with a myriad of thoughts.

Then he looked into the distance and, without hesitation, sped off.

The starry sky was vast and boundless. Li Ergou didn't even know where he was. This time, he flew for a whole day, but still didn't see anything.

Ji Wuming inside the blood bead told Li Ergou that it was normal not to see anything. Usually, it could take days or even dozens of days to see something, and it all depended on luck.

Li Ergou felt a chill in his heart. He really didn't want to stay here forever.

Out of boredom, he asked why he couldn't take the remains here out with him. Ji Wuming scolded him for being long-winded but truthfully replied: "Because these corpses have been immersed for ten thousand years. In such a special space, nothing is apparent.

But once taken outside, the remains will drastically change, either decaying or shattering into dust. What will these things bring to the human world?

Some will bring plagues, others will demonize mortal beings, causing demonic disasters. In any case, there are a hundred harms and no benefits, so there is this rule.

What? Are you interested in these demonic corpses?"

Li Ergou quickly shook his head and said, "No, not at all. I was just asking out of boredom. Does this starry sky have an end? And what is at its end?"

"The end? I don't know. No one has ever reached the end, I suppose. But I do know that the end of the starry sky is a sea of stars. Within the sea of stars, there are not only peerless demons but also many spatial rifts, extremely dangerous.

Unfortunately, I don't know if anyone has crossed that sea, so who knows what's on the other side."

Hearing this, Li Ergou couldn't help but feel curious about what the end of that star sea would look like. But thinking about it now was pointless, as this starry sky was vast, and he was only wandering around the edges. The star sea was probably in some extremely distant place.

While he was pondering, he saw someone flying very fast, heading in his direction. But before that person got close, he saw a demonic shadow flash in the sky, chasing closely behind him, saying, "Run, where are you running? You're mine now!"

The demonic shadow suddenly sped up, flashing into the cultivator's body. The man began to scream wildly.

Ji Wuming, seeing this scene, suddenly became panicked and said, "How can this be? There are demons even in such a remote area. Could it be that something strange has happened here in the ten thousand years I've been away?

We need to run! If those demons catch up to us, we're doomed!"

Li Ergou was slightly stunned and said, "Are those guys really that powerful?"

Looking at the human cultivator again, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was screaming like a madman.

"Powerful? More than powerful! Just run! If they catch up to you, they'll invade your body and devour your divine soul. What's so terrible about them is that their divine souls are very powerful, and they can use special secret techniques to enter your divine sea. Human divine souls are simply no match for them."

Li Ergou looked at Ji Wuming and said, "What about you? Aren't you also a divine soul entity? Are they more powerful than you?"

Ji Wuming snorted and said, "These things are like mad dogs. Once they encounter you, they won't rest until you're dead. And they're demons. Even I wouldn't dare to absorb and refine them.

Even if you defeat them, there's no benefit. So these guys are the most annoying things in this starry sky. Enough nonsense, let's go!"

Li Ergou looked at those demons, deep in thought. But now was not the time to think too much. Anyone who could enter here had at least a Nascent Soul cultivation base, and those people were so miserable. With his cultivation level, he dared not provoke these demons even more.

Without time to think, Li Ergou frantically fled into the distance.

Three days later, Li Ergou looked ahead and exclaimed with some surprise, "Huh? What is that thing? It's so strange!"

Hearing that there was something, Ji Wuming immediately flew out. But when he saw the thing in front of him, his expression changed, and his eyes showed a hint of fear.
