"In this distant Dark Zone, far from the tumult of the Mortal World, on the edge of society... in a place unknown to all... there flows an ancient bloodline, passed down through generations, guarding the distant Eastern World with their own power."
"Year after year, generation after generation."
"And in this generation, a young girl guards this dark world."
Wang Mu spoke in a low voice, narrating slowly, "She, like you, Fairy, watches over a corner of the world in solitude."
"Is that place even more terrifying than this?" the Fairy asked.
"Of course," Wang Mu said. "That place has no light, no people, no sound; only darkness and solitude. You can't leave. You can't escape."
"That girl has to stay in a place like that for her entire life?" the Fairy asked.
"Yes, for a lifeti," Wang Mu said. "If one cannot understand, consider it a matter of Bloodline inheritance. If she leaves that place, she will die, go mad, lose herself, and violate the teachings of her ancestors."
"That's truly terrifying..." The Fairy shook her head. "I can still leave this place... and after all, it's just for a few days in the Moon Palace... Ahem... What happened next?"
"After that..." Wang Mu pondered. "Hidden in the darkness, mbers of the Foreign Clan would occasionally wage war. Each ti this happened, the world's guardian in the darkness would resolve the issue."
"Their entire lives are spent in blood and darkness."
"They are accompanied only by loneliness and battle."
"Until one day..."
"After dealing with several mbers of the Foreign Clan and about to return, the girl suddenly saw a light."
"Didn't you say there was no light there?" the Fairy asked, surprised. She imdiately stopped swinging and inquired, "What was that?"
"It was a person," Wang Mu said. "Soone from the Eastern World who had co to the edge of the world—the ancient boundary consud by darkness."
"A person?"
"A man?" The Fairy's eyes lit up.
"Correct, a young man."
"What happened next?" the Fairy hurriedly asked.
"There's no more for now," Wang Mu said. "Let go, and I'll tell you the rest next ti."
The Fairy fell silent.
"How can that be all?" The Fairy's brows furrowed. "You, a Cultivator, you're doing this on purpose, aren't you?"
"No, I just haven't figured out what to make up for the rest."
"What else is there to make up? It's just a story of a man and a woman, after all," the Fairy said nonchalantly, with an air of disinterest. "Do you think I haven't heard such stories before? I am an Immortal who governs the marital fates of the Mortal World; I've heard plenty of tales about love and affection!"
"Wise Immortal," Wang Mu nodded. "You seem to be in a much better mood now. May I ask if you would allow to leave?"
"No," the Fairy said. "You've co here, taken so much from , and you'd just walk away like that? If you ask yourself, isn't that very rude? You say 'next ti,' but will I let you co again?"
Wang Mu was silent.
That seed to make a lot of sense.
"But I am just a Cultivator from the Lower Realm," Wang Mu said. "I have nothing that would catch an Immortal's eye."
"That's up to you," the Fairy said. "I have a Treasure here. If you can offer sothing I find quite nice... I'll give you this Treasure as well."
"This Treasure is rare, even in the Upper Realm."
Wang Mu thought for a mont. What could he possibly offer that would interest this Upper Realm fairy?
After pondering for a long ti, Wang Mu took out the mysterious fish he had caught from the Ancient Image Clan.
"I am good at Fishing, and this fish should be the very kind the Immortal just ntioned."
"It is one of the most precious things I possess."
"If the Immortal doesn't disdain it, please take it."
"Oh..." The Fairy suddenly turned, looking at Wang Mu. "You are indeed very fortunate. Who would have thought you possessed such an item? Do you know how rare this fish is? Even if one fishes in the Upper Realm Heavenly River for a hundred years, they might not catch one!"
Bloody hell, Wang Mu thought. If it hadn't been for that Fish Coming event, it would have been almost impossible for to have caught this fish.
He hadn't realized its origin was so special.
"Are you really giving this to ? Although this item is of no use to , its value is not low," the Fairy spoke leisurely.
Wang Mu nodded. This thing is of no use to in the modern world either, he thought.
"You are sincere." The Fairy thought for a mont. "Since that is the case, then take this."
With a wave of her hand, a square mirror, about the size of a palm, landed in Wang Mu's hands.
"This is..."
Seeing the mirror, Wang Mu was startled; he found it sowhat familiar.
"This is the Divine Light Mirror," the Fairy said. "It can send signals across infinite distances and is an essential item for Cultivators in the Upper Realm. It's just that in your Lower Realm, you lack the materials to make such an item."
Wang Mu looked at the item, montarily speechless.
He had one of these things.
To be precise, it was sothing Little Jiao Huo had acquired before.
However, the Divine Light Mirror he had was broken and could only be used a few tis.
It had been quite crucial. After Little Jiao Huo used it to send him a few ssages, it beca unusable, which was a pity.
Now it seed this was sothing from the Upper Realm... truly rare indeed.
And this one looked to be in perfect condition?
"Use this item as you would use a Magic Treasure from your Lower Realm," the Fairy said with a wave of her hand. "Just take it and give it a try."
Wang Mu took it. With a light activation of his Divine Sense, he left his mark on it, establishing a mutual connection.
Just like a smartphone...
Xiao Li's Immortal Country... What has it developed into? Wang Mu wondered. Does everyone in the Upper Realm co equipped with this device?
For long distances, this thing is still more useful than Divine Sense.
Suddenly, a line of information appeared on the Divine Light Mirror. DING! "The Moon God requests to add you as a friend..."
"Quickly accept," the Fairy said. "When you're free later, continue telling stories. Although I'm not very interested, it's quite boring here, so listening won't hurt."
Wang Mu could only accept.
Then he saw a moon icon appear on the Divine Light Mirror. On the icon, an image of a woman sat, looking very ethereal.
"Respected Immortal, may I know your esteed na?"
"Just call Moon God."
Wang Mu nodded. Recognizing an Immortal from the Upper Realm is indeed a great opportunity, he thought. Although, for now, our relationship is just average...
"Respected Immortal, may I take my leave now?"
"Yes, I'll send you off," she replied.
As she spoke, the Fairy waved her hand, and a Light Gate appeared.
Wang Mu clasped his hands in farewell and left the place.
This place isn't suitable for a long stay, he felt.
After Wang Mu left, the Fairy pondered for a few seconds. Then, she pulled up a profile on the Divine Light Mirror, gently typed a line of information: "Mother, it seems soone has perfectly passed the trials you set up back then," and clicked send.
PHEW.
"My task is also complete!" The Fairy stretched lazily. This Cultivator from the Lower Realm... he's quite interesting...
