Song Shuhang and Senior White heard the noise and simultaneously turned to look behind them.

“Don’t be distracted… Leave it to me, just deal with the Black Sun,” Daozi Senior spoke calmly, leaving Song Shuhang with a wide, reliable back.

With that, he took a step forward and lightly tapped his foot.

Upon the existing ‘space,’ another layer of identical ‘space’ appeared as though a thin film was lifted, transforming into a Mirror World and taking him along with the charred figure surrounded by karmic flames—this was to prevent the battle fluctuations from affecting the sealing formation of Unknown White No. 31-33.

After being swept into the Mirror World, the charred figure remained unfazed, hunched over like a cheetah ready to pounce, eyeing the distant seal.

Because of its intense focus, aside from the Dark Sun within the seal, nothing else could enter its field of view.

“Immortality?” Daozi murmured slowly.

Despite not sensing any aura of ‘eternity’ from the opponent, the being had faced off against him and emerged unharmed, and was not affected by his Heavenly Dao identity… It must be some form of immortality.

Was it a contingency of a past Wielder of the Will?

The one the Dark Sun was calling for help?

A weapon left behind by a Heavenly Dao?

Throughout history, nearly every Wielder of the Will had pulled off some clever tricks, each more cunning than the last.

“But even if it is an immortal transformed from a Heavenly Dao Body… with me here, you can only stay in this Mirror World,” Daozi Senior pronounced slowly.

He is the current Wielder of the Will, holding significant Heavenly Dao Authority.

The opponent at most is an immortal who has stepped down and cannot exert Heavenly Dao Authority, perhaps just a contingency of sorts.

In other words, it is impossible for the being to bypass his Mirror World and interfere with Tyrannical Song and Fellow Daoist White.

With authority, one can do as they please!

Daozi Senior had just reveled in his coolness for two seconds…

Across from him, the charred figure engulfed in karmic flames disrespectfully dashed over, its gaze locked continuously on the ‘Dark Sun’ within the seal, and it charged violently.

The next moment…

The Mirror World was breached!

The Mirror Space, which Daozi believed would be absolutely impenetrable by the opponent, was as fragile as a piece of paper.

After breaking through the Mirror World, the charred figure continued its charge right up to Song Shuhang and Senior White.

The karmic flames on its body flared like a tempest, striving to shove aside Song Shuhang and Senior White, who were in its path.

Daozi: “!!!”

He might be the first Wielder of the Will to be slapped in the face directly.

This charred figure was too strange; it bore not a trace of immortal aura, yet it couldn’t be confined even by the Mirror World created from Heavenly Dao Authority!

…

…

Meanwhile.

Facing the onslaught of the karmic flame storm, the ＠＃％× Fairy Soft Feather swiftly appeared on Song Shuhang, automatically protecting her master.

She raised her hands and conjured a phantom of the ‘ancient Heavenly City,’ positioning it in front of the rampaging karmic flames.

The glorious ‘ancient Heavenly City’ reemerged, constructed entirely from the power of virtue, resplendent in gold.

The burning karmic flames met the virtue.

The karmic flames were formidable!

The karmic flames engulfed the entire phantom of the virtue-constructed ancient Heavenly City!

The karmic flames had a significant advantage!

The karmic flames quietly extinguished a vast portion…

The karmic flames conceded defeat…

The nemesis, the power of virtue is the ultimate bane of the karmic flames.

After a large area of the karmic flames that stood between Song Shuhang, Senior White, and the charred figure was extinguished, the two sides found themselves face to face.

Seven eyes met.

Tyrannical 3, White 2, charred 2.

The Scholarly Sage’s Eye had grown back.

The divine eye formed by the Sage Eye Golden Core seemed to exert significant pressure on the charred figure.

Furthermore, the profound power of virtue on Song Shuhang’s body also made it feel extremely uncomfortable.

Perhaps it was the influence of the power of virtue, the ferocity within the charred remains’ eyes seemed to have faded significantly.

A moment later.

The charred figure’s gaze shifted from Song Shuhang and landed on Senior White.

The violent light in its eyes gradually turned into confusion.

Another moment passed.

“White…” The charred figure called out using the ancient language, summoning the dao name of Immortal White.

Song Shuhang was startled and transmitted his voice quietly, “Senior White, do you know him?”

Senior White shook his head.

The other party was wrapped in a thick layer of char, and its aura was hidden by the karmic flames, making it impossible to identify.

Moreover.

[Perhaps, he doesn’t recognize me.] Senior White transmitted back.

The other party had used the ancient language when addressing him.

[Could it be he knows Wielder of the Will White?] Song Shuhang quickly grasped the meaning of Senior White.

Several clues connected in Tyrannical Song’s mind.

Knew Wielder of the Will White, body wrapped in karmic flames, possibly related to eternity.

“Daoist Priest Virtue?” A name slipped out of Tyrannical Song’s mouth.

—He had previously seen an image related to ‘Immortal Daoist restarting the myriad practitioners in the universe,’ where the final scene depicted Daoist Priest Virtue, wrapped in ‘karmic flames,’ with an eerie expression, bursting out from the Tomb of Immortality he had constructed.

Connecting the clues… Could this charred figure before him be Daoist Priest Virtue?

On the other side, the charred figure trembled all over.

He began to slowly retreat.

After taking a few steps back, the ‘karmic flames’ around him flared up again, wrapping him up.

Then the charred figure began to hunch over and continued to retreat — it was as if ‘time was reversing,’ his current posture mirroring the one he had charged forth with.

Song Shuhang: “…”

In the sky, Daoist Senior took no further action, silently watching Immortal White.

An attacker of unknown origin and formidable strength was about to succeed, but upon seeing Fellow Daoist White, he retreated in silence for some unknown reason.

Was this Fellow Daoist White’s lucky charm?

In a few breaths, the charred covered in karmic flames, finally retreated back into the ‘space expansion’ area and completely disappeared from sight.

“Drama King Char?” Song Shuhang pondered and commented.

The charred figure’s actions in retreat and final disappearance… were like he had inherited the essence from Senior Ma, the black horse.

Within the seal.

The Dark Sun was bewildered.

[Gone? Just like that?]

Whirr!

What was this all about?

The charred figure had a faint trace of aura similar to his own… which meant, was this perhaps a safeguard arranged by his own Heavenly Dao in the shadows?

Just now, as the charred figure broke through the Heavenly Dao’s Mirror Space and made it to Tyrannical Song and White, the next step would have been to rescue him — the Dark Sun saw hope!

With the abilities of the charred figure, it could free him from his predicament!

But for some inexplicable reason, the charred figure retreated ludicrously.

Being in despair isn’t the worst that can happen to someone.

The worst is glimpsing a ray of hope amid despair, a hope that seems within easy reach… and then, just as one is about to grasp it, seeing that hope shatter into pieces, leaving an even deeper sense of despair.

The Dark Sun felt his mindset collapsing.

[It seems quite likely that it was Daoist Priest Virtue.] Song Shuhang silently recorded the events that had just unfolded, planning to send them later to Senior White two for confirmation.

But there was no rush for now; he and Senior White had something even more important to attempt.

Senior White and Song Shuhang maintained synchronized positions, both turning simultaneously to face the Dark Sun, extending their hands to wield the Confucian Saint Talent.
