Chapter 433 Yin-Yang Mirror
Chapter 433 Yin-Yang Mirror
The sixteen large characters remained in the air for a few seconds before gradually dimming, and the white light screen disappeared as well, returning the Yin-Yang Mirror to its slow-moving nebula state.
"The soil is full, the water of the Jade Pool is clear, the Jianmu tree is revived, and all paths return to one. What does this mean?" Zhao Changyu repeated the revelation of the Yin-Yang Mirror, his eyes filled with doubt.
Guo Tianming pondered, "These sixteen characters mention 'breathing soil' and 'Jade Pool water,' both legendary divine objects. The *Classic of Mountains and Seas* records that the breathing soil belonged to Emperor Zhuanxu, but was later stolen by Gun to block floods. The 'Jade Pool water' likely refers to the water in the Jade Pool of the Queen Mother of the West. Could it be that obtaining these two divine objects could revive the Jianmu tree?"
Zhao Changyu stroked his beard and said, "That's very likely. The Jade Pool should be found in Kunlun Ruins, but the whereabouts of the Breath Soil will probably be difficult to find."
Guo Shiyi said, "Master, don't worry. With this Yin-Yang Mirror, how could we possibly fail to find the Breath of Earth?"
"Indeed, I had forgotten about this divine artifact." As Zhao Changyu spoke, his gaze involuntarily fell on the Yin-Yang Mirror once again.
Guo Shiyi then said, "Master, didn't you just say that you sensed the True Martial Emperor but didn't know the specifics? Why don't you ask the Yin-Yang Mirror here? Perhaps the Yin-Yang Mirror can tell you the answer."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Changyu's eyes lit up. He looked at Qin Xiaochuan and asked, "Xiaochuan, can I borrow this Yin-Yang Mirror for a moment?"
Qin Xiaochuan quickly pointed to the Yin-Yang Mirror and said, "Uncle-Master, you are too kind. You have been kind to me in teaching me. You can use the Yin-Yang Mirror whenever you want. There is no need to say 'borrow'."
Zhao Changyu waved his hand and said, "You can't say that. Your status is different now. You are the head of a clan. This Yin-Yang Mirror is the most precious treasure of the Blood Witch Clan. If an outsider wants to use it, of course the word 'borrow' should be used."
Knowing that Zhao Changyu was a highly respected elder, he was naturally meticulous, serious, and polite, Qin Xiaochuan didn't say anything more. He simply told him how to use the Yin-Yang Mirror. Zhao Changyu activated the Yin-Yang Mirror again according to Qin Xiaochuan's instructions, and eight large characters appeared on the top of the Mirror once more: "Xuanwu suffers misfortune, but the time is right to resolve it."
Staring at the large characters in the air, Zhao Changyu frowned. The information given by the Yin-Yang Mirror was too vague, and he still couldn't figure it out.
Guo Tianming said to him, "'Xuanwu suffers misfortune' should mean that the Xuanwu Emperor has encountered some difficulties, but senior brother, there is no need to worry too much, because it is said later that when the time is right, his difficulties will naturally be resolved. In that case, senior brother, you might as well go with the flow."
Zhao Changyu sighed helplessly and said, "It seems that's the only way. Since you want to find Yaochi Water and Xirang, I'll lend you a hand. You can use the Yin-Yang Mirror to find Xirang, and I'll go to Kunlun Ruins to find Yaochi Water for you."
"With Master's help, we're sure to succeed quickly," Guo Shiyi said with a smile.
After everyone had discussed it, Qin Xiaochuan used the Yin-Yang Mirror again to search for the whereabouts of the Breath Soil. He learned that the Breath Soil was located in the Turbulent Abyss. As soon as he saw the words "Turbulent Abyss", Zhao Changyu's expression changed immediately.
"Master, do you know about the Turbulent Abyss?" Guo Shiyi asked curiously.
Zhao Changyu stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, and then said, "In our Wudang Sect, there is an ancient book passed down from our founder. It clearly records the Turbulent Abyss. It is said that the Turbulent Abyss is where all the water veins in the world converge. The world there completely defies the laws of physics. It can be said to be full of dangers and natural disasters. Since ancient times, no living being has ever been heard of entering the Turbulent Abyss, let alone coming out of it alive."
"But we have to go," Qin Xiaochuan said without any hesitation. This was quite unlike him. Although he was not an indecisive person, he was not arbitrary or even reckless either. At least when faced with life and death, he would think things through carefully. If the Turbulent Abyss was really dangerous, he would prioritize other strategies.

Han Kexin looked at him, her face showing undisguised surprise. Qin Xiaochuan's performance was far beyond her expectations. Although he had been growing and she hadn't always viewed him with the same old perspective, Qin Xiaochuan's performance today was truly unexpected.
"That's right, we must go, because this is our path." Guo Shiyi also looked fearless.
"I'll go with you," Guo Tianming said with a serious expression. Although he was very worried about his daughter, he would not become a stumbling block on her path to adulthood, because he had been through the same thing himself and could deeply understand his daughter.
"No need, Dad. I know you have many more important things to do. Trust us, we will definitely be able to bring back the Breath of Earth," Guo Shiyi said.
"Nothing is more important than my precious daughter," Guo Tianming said, "especially since you're going to such a dangerous place."
"I'm already at level 9 in spiritual power, so I have enough ability to protect myself. Besides, this is our path." Guo Shiyi said, walking behind her father, wrapping her arms around his neck from behind, and saying in a coquettish tone, "Anyway, I won't let you help me. We can handle it ourselves."

Guo Shiyi said, walking behind her father, wrapping her arms around his neck from behind, and saying in a coquettish tone, "Anyway, I won't let you help me. We can handle it ourselves."
Unable to persuade his daughter, Guo Tianming could only sigh helplessly.
Zhao Changyu asked, "So how do you plan to get to the Turbulent Abyss? The book only records that the Turbulent Abyss is located near the North Sea, but no one knows exactly where the legendary North Sea is. Even if you have the Yin-Yang Mirror, getting to the Turbulent Abyss will not be an easy task."
"I do have an idea," Qin Xiaochuan said. "Since the Turbulent Abyss is the place where all the water veins in the world converge, it must be connected to different water realms. We obtained a dragon pearl in Yunmengze, which can not only ward off water but also allow us to travel through water realms. Perhaps we can travel to the Turbulent Abyss by crossing the water realms."
Upon hearing Qin Xiaochuan's speech, everyone fell silent, probably because they felt that Qin Xiaochuan's idea was so imaginative and far beyond their imagination.
"It is said that the Water Ruins of the world are indeed interconnected, but I have only seen records of crossing the Water Ruins in ancient books. Could there be any danger?" Zhao Changyu said, stroking his beard.
Qin Xiaochuan said seriously, "We have seen the Azure Wave Ruins beneath Yunmengze before. The River God can come and go freely inside, so there shouldn't be too much danger. We will also be very careful."
"Although you are still young, your experience is far richer than mine, or your judgment is correct, but I still advise you to be careful in everything you do," Zhao Changyu said, which was actually an implicit acceptance of Qin Xiaochuan's plan.
Guo Tianming wanted to say something more, but Guo Shiyi cut him off: "Dad just said that we will bring back the Breath of Earth ourselves, relying entirely on our own strength."
"I didn't mean to stop you. My daughter has grown up, has her own opinions, and doesn't listen to her father anymore," Guo Tianming said with some resentment. "But I still want to tell you that if you encounter any difficulties, don't be too reckless. You must always remember that no matter how bad things get, your father will always be there to support you."
"I understand, Dad." Guo Shiyi hugged her father's shoulders affectionately, as if comforting her lonely father. "Dad will always be my pillar of support."
"I don't think so," Guo Tianming muttered, glancing at Qin Xiaochuan unconsciously.
"Dad, what did you say?" Guo Shiyi asked in confusion.
"It's nothing, just a reminder to be careful."
"I know, Dad, when did you become so fussy?" Guo Shiyi continued to whine.
The group discussed some details of the next operation, and then Qin Xiaochuan and the others left Guo Shiyi's house again. This time, considering the danger of the operation, Han Kexin left Xiaoying behind and entrusted her to Jiang Qingxue's care.
