Ye Xuan was so shocked because, after pouring his Mortal Sword Intent into this mysterious space-time, he discovered that an identical Mortal Sword Intent actually surged out from within the space-time itself.
What was going on?
Ye Xuan was utterly stunned.
After a moment of silence, he released his Mortal Sword Intent once more. When it flooded into the surrounding space-time, countless strands of sword intent poured out from all directions.
It was Mortal Sword Intent!
Seeing this, Ye Xuan’s expression gradually grew grave.
Just what kind of space-time was this?
At that moment, Little Brush suddenly spoke. “This might be the legendary Mirror Space-Time.”
Ye Xuan frowned slightly. “Mirror Space-Time?”
Little Brush said, “Yes.”
Ye Xuan said in a deep voice, “Explain.”
Little Brush replied gravely, “I only heard about it from my master. It is a type of space-time that exists in legends. This space-time can mirror and duplicate things.”
Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes a fraction. “So if I put one piece of spirit essence in, it becomes two?”
Little Brush answered, “Why not try it?”
Ye Xuan spread his palm. A piece of spirit essence merged into the surrounding space-time. Nothing happened.
Ye Xuan frowned. He sensed it again and soon froze.
Bloody hell!
The spirit essence had been directly devoured!
Ye Xuan’s face darkened.
Little Brush said, “This Mirror Space-Time probably needs energy too. And even if it can duplicate things, there must be certain requirements.”
Ye Xuan said softly, “This is the space-time Qing’er left for me. Whatever she left must have deep meaning.”
Little Brush said, “This space-time has a spirit. Drag it out.”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly. He sensed the Mirror Space-Time once more. After a moment, he detected a mysterious presence.
Ye Xuan suddenly smiled. “Come out and meet me?”
The mysterious presence did not respond.
Ye Xuan thought for a second, then said, “If you don’t come out, I’ll tell on you to Qing’er and say you’re planning a rebellion.”
Little Pagoda: “…”
Little Brush: “…”
At that instant, the surrounding space-time trembled faintly. The next moment, a beam of white light suddenly appeared before Ye Xuan. The light gradually dispersed, revealing a palm-sized elf who glared at him, clearly very angry.
Ye Xuan smiled. “What should I call you?”
The elf huffed. “Not telling you!”
Ye Xuan said calmly, “I’ll go complain in a bit.”
“Argh!”
The little elf pointed at Ye Xuan in fury. “How can you be like this? I never thought of rebelling. You… you’re bullying me!”
As she spoke, tears instantly streamed down her face.
Ye Xuan was speechless.
Why was this little one so easily teased?
Ye Xuan smiled gently. “Don’t cry. facilitating. I was only joking. I won’t tattle on you.”
The little elf blinked. “Really?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Really.”
The little elf immediately grinned. “Yay!”
Ye Xuan shook his head with a laugh. “What is your name?”
The little elf beamed. “I’m called Mirror Xiao Xiao!”
Mirror Xiao Xiao.
Ye Xuan laughed. “Did you choose it yourself?”
The little elf shook her head. “Big Sister Plain Skirt gave it to me.”
Qing’er.
Ye Xuan was rather surprised. “She named you?”
The little elf nodded. “She said I’m very small, so she called me Xiao Xiao.”
Ye Xuan was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.
Qing’er’s naming sense was on par with his own!
The little elf looked at Ye Xuan. “Isn’t it nice?”
Ye Xuan quickly said, “It’s nice. Really nice!”
Hearing that, the little elf immediately smiled. “I knew it was nice!”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Xiao Xiao, may I ask you something?”
The little elf nodded. “Of course! Big Sister Plain Skirt told me to follow you and said I could help you!”
Ye Xuan smiled. “I heard from Little Brush that you are a Mirror Space-Time and can duplicate anything. Is that right?”
The little elf shook her head. “I can’t.”
Ye Xuan frowned.
The little elf looked at him. “Anything else you want to ask?”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “Why can’t you?”
The little elf answered, “Because of the laws.”
Laws.
Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly. “What laws?”
The little elf said, “Cosmic laws. I am space-time, so I fall under the jurisdiction of the universe. Therefore, I must obey the cosmic laws.”
Ye Xuan asked, “Were the cosmic laws set by the owner of the Great Dao Brush?”
The little elf shook her head. “No. The owner of the Great Dao Brush has the Great Dao Laws, also known as the Great Dao Order. Cosmic laws are cosmic laws. They are different.”
Ye Xuan asked again, “Which one is stronger?”
The little elf thought about it, then said, “Strictly speaking, cosmic laws are stronger. However, as far as I know, cosmic order cannot suppress Great Dao order. Therefore, in our parts, Great Dao order and cosmic laws coexist. Neither can do anything to the other.”
She paused, then continued, “In this universe, the strongest is still Big Sister Plain Skirt. Back then she nearly abolished the cosmic laws.”
Ye Xuan was taken aback. “Nearly abolished the cosmic laws?”
The little elf nodded. “Yes! The spirit of this universe originally wanted to restart the universe before those outsiders awoke, but Big Sister Plain Skirt stopped it. Let me tell you, that cosmic spirit used to be extremely arrogant, so, so arrogant. But after getting beaten up, it became very obedient now!”
Ye Xuan said softly, “Qing’er even beat up the cosmic spirit.”
The little elf laughed. “Yes, I was there at the time! That cosmic spirit was so full of itself. It even told Big Sister Plain Skirt to try three swords… tsk tsk!”
Ye Xuan’s expression instantly turned strange.
The little elf smiled. “Do you want to come with me to Restart Star?”
Ye Xuan frowned slightly. “Restart Star?”
The little elf nodded. “Yes! It’s not far from here! That’s where the cosmic spirit stays. Every time before it restarts the universe, it collects many of the universe’s good things and keeps them there for protection. Let me tell you, that place has loads and loads of treasures. This universe has been restarted many, many times. After every great cycle, that place gains heaps of amazing stuff.”
She paused again, then added, “I’ll take you there. We split it fifty-fifty. How’s that?”
Ye Xuan hesitated, then asked, “Was that cosmic spirit killed?”
The little elf shook her head. “Not killed, but crippled! Afterwards, it promised that as long as you remain in this universe, it will never restart it.”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “If we go like this, will it attack us?”
“It wouldn’t dare!”
The little elf’s eyes widened. “Give it a hundred guts, it still wouldn’t dare hit me… us!”
Ye Xuan was puzzled. “Why?”
The little elf said seriously, “You plus me, plus Big Sister Plain Skirt. The three of us together could slaughter our way through the entire universe!”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
