Chapter 1153: Reflections on the Ice Lake

Aurora Immortal Palace, east.

Behind the school, there was a hall called Shaoji.

The palace was not small, and there was a formation that blocked the probing of Divine Sense, which was activated all year round.

From the outside, the buildings here looked simple, with only an endless sea of flowers filling the air.

Therefore, there is the Hundred Flowers Hall as well as the Hundred Flowers Palace alias.

But inside …

It really did exist. It was called the Palace of Hundred Flowers.

This palace was located in the south of Shaoji. Even at night, it was brightly lit, as if it was daytime.

The outer walls were made of all kinds of strange flowers and vines.

Colorful and fragrant.

Every time a breeze blew, the flowers would sway gently and emit a fragrance.

The interior was decorated like a fairyland, with bejeweled jade palaces that were dazzling in gold and jade.

There were flowers everywhere. They were either tender and beautiful, fresh and refined, noble and elegant, enchanting and charming. It was as if all the beauties in the world were gathered here.

As for the center of the palace, there was a huge pool.

Inside, all sorts of strange flowers and herbs were playing with each other, stirring up layers of soul-stirring waves.

The most eye-catching thing was a foreign peony flower. It was a beautiful flower, as if it was the king of flowers, exuding endless charm.

At this moment, she was wearing a thin gauze dress and was bashfully leaning against Xu Qing's side … She pushed open a lychee and put it into Xu Qing's mouth.

Xu Qing silently ate and looked up at the sea of flowers around him.

The lotus was pure, while the roses were warm.

Almost every one of them had a beauty that could cause the downfall of a city.

Her skin was as white as snow, and her features were picturesque.

There were also some who were not only beautiful but also talented. They were proficient in music, dance, and poetry. At this moment, they were dancing gracefully in front of Xu Qing amidst the elegant music.

Being in this land of warmth and tenderness, Xu Qing forgot what year it was. As he looked at everything in front of him, he felt a sense of absent-mindedness.

She was like a flower in the clouds.

Above, there was the long blue sky, below, there were the ripples of the Lushui River.

"No wonder the Immortal Lord wants him to tear down the Hundred Flowers Palace …"

Xu Qing sighed in his heart.

In order to properly act as the Aurora Young Master before everyone, he had no choice but to come to the Hundred Flowers Palace in his memories and personally experience the daily life of the Aurora Young Master.

What gave Xu Qing the biggest headache was actually … not the flowers here, but the external foreign peony that was feeding the lychee to him.

This peony was naturally the fox beauty.

Since Xu Qing had won the competition, the fox beauty naturally followed by Xu Qing's side.

"Young Master, my lychees taste pretty good."

Peony was bashful as she bit her lower lip. Her voice was also extremely charming. When it entered one's ears, it could melt into one's heart and draw out one's soul.

Xu Qing sighed once more in his heart. He withdrew his gaze from the distance and looked at the woman who was like a peony a moment ago and like a datura flower in the next moment.

"Aren't you worried about being discovered?"

Xu Qing said with a frown.

Currently, his battle prowess was completely different from when he was on Wanggu Continent. The difference was like heaven and earth.

For Gods, as long as they had not reached the Divine Platform Stage, and for cultivators, as long as they were not Quasi-Immortals.

In that case, he would be able to fight them.

This mud fox was at the peak of the Flawless Pinnacle Stage, only half a step away from the Divine Platform Stage. It was like the consummate peak stage of the Sovereign Realm among cultivators.

Although he was indeed very strong, it didn't mean that he couldn't fight.

It was hard to say who would win.

"Why are you looking at me like that? You look like you want to hit me."

The fox beauty's small face blushed, and even her neck was flushed red. She whispered as she twisted her waist, lifting half of her perfectly round buttocks towards Xu Qing.

"Why don't you hit him?"

Xu Qing's gaze turned cold.

The fox beauty giggled.

"I like how cold you are. Alright, I know you're worried about me, right?"

"But if I don't come out, I'll be too bored. I'm also worried that Young Master will forget about me."

Xu Qing remained unmoved and spoke indifferently.

"It doesn't matter. If you don't want to tell me your true goal, then there's no need to. You shouldn't have forgotten what I said when you insisted on coming here with me."

Xu Qing glanced at the fox beauty.

The fox beauty blinked.

"What words? I don't remember."

"Then I'll say it again. This is the forbidden land for the Gods. Slavery exists everywhere, so your life is in your own hands.

Xu Qing said calmly.

Hearing this, the fox beauty giggled.

"Isn't it just slavery? She's already called herself a slave. Isn't she being enslaved by you?"

Xu Qing was silent. Ignoring him, he got up and prepared to leave.

Coming here was just an act. He still had his own things to do.

Seeing that Xu Qing was about to leave, the fox beauty's eyes flickered and she laughed.

"Alright, I'll tell you, alright? The reason why I'm here is naturally because I have a certain amount of confidence that I won't be discovered."

"After all, this isn't the real history. It's just a reflection based on the memories of this immortal palace."

"However, if it's done properly, the benefits are also astonishing. For example, if you can change this mirror image of history and set off space-time waves, then it'll be the same as you personally controlling and comprehending it."

"My goal is to obtain an identity in this process. That way, if you really manage to create a disturbance in the Mirror Dimension, my identity will be equivalent to being bestowed the title of Righteous Bestowal."

"Perhaps I'll be able to preserve it so that I won't be rejected by the fifth star ring."

"Of course, the key to success is not only your strength, but also the existence of that Immortal Venerable. In the end, whether or not he will acquiesce to the changes in the mirror history."

"Alright, I've told you everything. Go and deal with your own matters. Don't worry about me. Don't worry."

The fox beauty smiled charmingly.

Xu Qing turned around and glanced at the fox beauty. Then, he took a step and left Hundred Flower Palace.

Walking in the Shaoji Palace, Xu Qing pondered about what he needed to do next.

"The Fourth True Lord is most likely an outsider. He appeared at the moment when history was changing …"

"Then, between you and me, there is an opposing Dao."

"Everyone who came here has their own goals. Based on the actions of Li Mengtu and Li Tianjiao, it can be seen that they want history to change."

"Then there is a certain probability that there are two camps!"

"One side wants to maintain the order of history, while the other side wants to stir up the waves of history."

"As for the specifics, I'm not sure. I need more clues before I can make a final judgment."

"If my judgment is proven to be correct, then we will gather all those in the 'Waves of History' camp and secretly make them complete their goal. This way, we will be able to trigger waves after waves."

"In the end, the great waves that I hope for will be formed!"

"That's why I'm going to find the cultivators from the other planets."

As he pondered, the color of the sky gradually changed.

It was now night, and dawn was not far away.

The moon in the sky displayed the coldness of the night to its fullest.

Xu Qing sensed something and looked up at the sky.

In this period of history, the sky did not have the blood-red auroras of later generations.

There was still a moon and a sun.

It was similar to the Sun and Moon of the Wanggu Continent. The Sun and Moon here were not simple celestial bodies. They were two living beings with magical powers.

According to the host's memory, the moon that was about to fall from the sky was called "Clear Splendor".

It was relatively small, and its surface was covered with a layer of mysterious silver light, bringing peace and harmony to the world.

"One month later, the moon will disappear, and so will the sun."

Xu Qing muttered in his heart. Dawn was approaching.

The moon in the sky slowly disappeared, and the first rays of the sun gradually appeared in the dark horizon.

The sun of the fifth star ring was called "Blazing Flame".

Its surface was burning with raging flames, blazing and resplendent.

Its power was powerful and warm, providing the necessary light and heat for all life in the entire ring.

At this moment, in Xu Qing's eyes, it rose into the air.

The sky had brightened.

The morning sun sent light, and also sent … a figure approaching on light.

It was a middle-aged man in a plain white robe.

His robe was embroidered with simple and elegant cloud patterns. As he approached, his robe swayed gently in the wind, as if he was blending with the aura of heaven and earth.

As for his appearance, he was ordinary yet extraordinary. His nose bridge was high, and his lips were tightly shut, as if he never smiled.

His expression was cold and indifferent like a snow mountain that never melted all year round, mysterious and unfathomable, and he revealed a dignified aura that couldn't be ignored.

Especially his eyes, they were as deep as the sea and flickered with a cold light, as if they could see through all the falsehood and truth in the world.

At this moment, as he walked, every step he took seemed to be treading on time, giving off an extremely mysterious feeling.

Then, he walked up to Xu Qing.

"Father."

Xu Qing lowered his head.

The newcomer was Aurora Immortal Lord!

He stood there, his aura restrained and deep, like a dormant volcano. Once it erupted, it would definitely shake the world.

His indifference seemed to be because he had already seen through the flourishing and illusory world of the mortal world. He was no longer too attached to worldly emotions.

Thus, an ice-cold voice sounded from his mouth.

"I'll bring you to a place."

The moment the voice rang out, everything around Xu Qing became blurry. Heaven and Earth seemed to be moving in reverse, and all living things had changed.

He was no longer in the Immortal Palace.

Instead, it was above a frozen lake.

"Follow behind me. This is the last thing I can do for you as your father."

The Aurora Immortal Lord calmly spoke as he walked forward.

Xu Qing's thoughts surged in his heart, but he forcefully suppressed them and silently followed.

The ice lake here was very special. The surface of the ice was like a mirror. It could reflect the sunlight, and gradually, it could also reflect one's heart.

Thus, when walking on it, the reflections were different.

The reflection that Xu Qing slowly revealed was actually his original appearance!

This scene caused Xu Qing's heart to tremble. However, the immortal master in front of him didn't seem to have seen anything at all.

Xu Qing hesitated. His gaze landed on the reflection of the Aurora Immortal Lord on the ice lake.

The moment he saw it clearly, his eyes narrowed.

Although that reflection was indeed Aurora's appearance, the color of her clothes was actually black.

His expression … was filled with malice and gloom.

After a long time, Xu Qing withdrew his gaze. His heart was filled with a myriad of thoughts, but after that, the Immortal Lord didn't speak again, and Xu Qing also remained silent.

Just like that, time slowly passed.

On the ice layer, the white-clothed Aurora and his son, one in front and one behind.

Under the layer of ice, Aurora in Black and Xu Qing were connected head to tail.
