Li Shuang was mesmerized by the sunrise.
There were many beautiful sights in this world.
But only the light of the sun and moon, vast and boundless, always brought new insights with every viewing.
Li Shuang suddenly had a strange thought.
The City of Ten Thousand Laws and the Soul Prison, logically speaking, were just illusory spaces.
However.
This space could transform from illusion to reality at any time.
A severed arm in the Soul Prison would be severed in reality.
A spiritual root growing in the Soul Prison would also grow in reality.
It was truly difficult to distinguish between illusion and reality.
Now.
She was suddenly curious.
What about the sun and moon here?
Were they also real?
No.
That's not right.
The sun and moon here couldn't be real.
In the real world, the sun wouldn't rise immediately after the Taiyin (Moon) disappeared.
Here.
These two celestial bodies seemed to never meet, yet were always connected.
A terrifying thought suddenly flashed through Li Shuang's mind.
The sun and moon here were clearly not real.
Then.
Who had the ability to simulate these two celestial bodies to such an extent?
Even the City Lord probably couldn't do it!
What was the true origin of this City of Ten Thousand Laws!
Although the sun here was not real, to Li Shuang, it was just as scorching, just as fervent.
In fact.
This illusory sun allowed her to see even more clearly.
The real sun was not something mortals could gaze upon.
But this illusory sun, on the contrary, allowed her to faintly grasp something.
A figure suddenly appeared in Li Shuang's mind.
This figure gazed at the supreme sun, and then, he condensed his insights into the sun into an illusory sun, rising above the Soul Prison.
This sun was the insights of that peerless expert into the real sun!
Li Shuang looked up at the sky, becoming more and more engrossed.
A peerless expert's comprehension of the sun was now clearly displayed before her.
She hadn't noticed it at all before.
The Soul Golden Altar was indeed a top-tier opportunity, but if she could gaze at the sun and moon and gain the insights of that peerless expert, such an opportunity would be more than just one or two tenths better than the Soul Golden Altar.
As the sword rain fell, Li Shuang was unable to resist all of it. Sharp sword Qi pierced into her body, and blood flowed freely from her spiritual body.
Li Shuang, however, seemed oblivious. She just stared blankly, continuing to look up at the sky.
Li Shuang's actions were too strange.
As Yu Jin watched, her expression became solemn.
Li...
She was actually gazing at the sun at this moment!
The sun was extremely scorching. If one could gain something from it, it would naturally be a great opportunity.
But given Li's current cultivation, could she truly withstand such a level of comprehension?
As Li Shuang gazed.
In Li Shuang's embrace.
That embroidery was also slowly heating up.
Li Shuang's eyebrows twitched slightly.
Then.
The sunrise painting suddenly ignited, burning away quickly and turning into specks of red light.
The red light enveloped her.
At this moment, Li Shuang felt as if she herself had transformed into a sun.
Using the power of ice, to touch the extreme of fire.
The moment the sword rain fell.
The power of the sun was drawn, and streaks of fire fell.
The endless sword rain, at this instant, was completely melted.
Li Shuang stood calmly in place.
Flames enveloped her, and behind her, the green lotus once again appeared.
The fire of the sun tempered the extreme ice.
The petals of the green lotus, in the raging flames, took on a glazed color, shimmering with brilliant light and breathtaking beauty.
All of this happened in an instant.
The endless sword rain suddenly vanished.
And Li Shuang stood in the midst of the flames, as if reborn.
"Using extreme fire to refine extreme ice." Wuxiang suddenly laughed, "Interesting, truly interesting. If it weren't for the tense situation, I would want to personally calculate her future."
Calculating the future, the more unpredictable the future, the greater the price one had to pay.
For a rare talent like Li, even he would have to pay a considerable price to calculate her fate.
"City Lord Yu, how did you raise such a disciple?" The remaining people looked at Yu Jin, their eyes even carrying a hint of envy.
Yu Jin coughed lightly: "Keep it down, keep it down. I just said a few casual words to her."
Yu Jin was telling the truth.
But the others had an expression as if she was showing off again.
Yu Jin smiled, feeling a strange surge of delight in her heart.
She had just found a random excuse to protect Li Shuang, and unexpectedly, Li Shuang was so strong, which made her, the fake master, feel very proud!
She even began to envy Li Shuang's true master.
What kind of luck was it to accept such a disciple!
Sword Sect.
Lin Qingling couldn't help but sneeze several times in a row.
She touched her nose, feeling somewhat inexplicable.
With her cultivation, how could she still sneeze?
Was someone secretly envying her beauty again?
Lin Qingling indulged in self-admiration for a while, then couldn't help but think of Li Shuang.
Li Shuang had been in seclusion for more than two years.
Every time her disciple emerged from seclusion, she would bring some surprises. This time, she wondered how much she had grown.
There was less than a year left until the Sect Grand Competition.
Little Shuang should emerge from seclusion by the time of the Sect Grand Competition, right?
Soul Golden Altar!
"Trial participant Li!"
"Cleared the sixth level!"
Before the water curtain.
Everyone watched as Li Shuang ascended to the top of the central pillar.
Then.
All the images instantly vanished.
The images of the seventh level were never open to the public.
Whether Li could clear the seventh level, they could only quietly await the result.
Li...
She really cleared the sixth level.
In the waiting space, everyone fell silent.
This time.
Everyone's thoughts had changed once again.
Before, when they thought of Li, there was jealousy and unwillingness.
But now...
There was even a subtle sense of shared honor?
They... had actually participated in the same Soul Golden Altar as such a future legend.
A thousand years from now, for many of them, this would probably be the greatest achievement of their lives.
"Let's wait for her to come out," Youlan said calmly, "It seems the results for the seventh level come out quickly."
Everyone nodded and waited quietly.
Li Shuang stood on the golden altar, still motionless.
Her eyes were closed, still immersed in that moment.
That moment just now.
It was very strange.
Firstly, the virtual sun gave her a chance to touch the power of the sun.
Secondly, in her completely relaxed state, she naturally gained a strange insight.
And the sunrise painting given to her by Elder Ling, at this moment, became a kind of medium.
This medium allowed her, for a moment, to draw upon the power of the sun.
Of course.
This was only for an instant.
After that wondrous moment, when she looked at the sun again, she could no longer enter that mysterious and profound state.
She only felt that her comprehension of the fire element among the Five Elements seemed to have deepened even further.
The sun was the ultimate fire.
Even a tiny bit of insight into the sun was a huge breakthrough in the power of fire.
This time.
It was thanks to the accidental activation of the sun's power that she was able to clear the level successfully.
It was just a pity about the sunrise painting that Elder Ling had given her.
Li Shuang collected herself, took a step forward, and stood on the central pillar.
She looked at the object in the center, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
