Chapter 620: The World Within the Mirror

The next morning, An Lin took Tina to class with him.
On the way there, An Lin looked up at a sparrow flying in the sky overhead.
A certain spell technique pierced through the air before taking effect on the sparrow.
Make You Poo spell technique!
An Lin only used a sliver of the spell technique’s power, but even so, the sparrow still trembled before a blob of bird poo fell onto the ground.
And that wasn’t the end of it. The sparrow sh*t as it flew, as if it was a sh*t bomber. There was even a small blob of poo that landed on a female student’s clothes, which instantly drew a sharp screech from her.
An Lin nodded with satisfaction. Just a sliver of the spell technique’s power had such a potent effect; it appeared that this was quite a powerful spell technique…
Tina turned to An Lin with a speechless expression on her face.
She couldn’t detect any spell technique fluctuations, but after seeing the little bird’s miserable state and An Lin’s expression, she was able to put two and two together. As such, a hint of disdain appeared in her eyes, as if to say, “Giant An Lin, you’ve changed”.
Classes always flew by, and during the lunch break, An Lin, Xu Xiaolan, Xuanyuan Cheng, Su Qianyun, and Lu Zhan were instructed to follow their homeroom teacher, Sword Immortal Ling Xiao, to accept their rewards for their efforts during the Immortal Spirit Tower trials.
In all honesty, the opportunity to battle the ancestral mighty figures as well as the chance to obtain inheritances were the biggest rewards.
However, The United University of Cultivation was not so poor that it couldn’t afford to give other rewards.
Lu Zhan’s rewards were quite simple, and they consisted of some spirit stones and pills.
Xu Xiaolan, Xuanyuan Cheng, and Su Qianyun were inducted into the University Hall of Fame for passing level eighty, so their rewards were obviously not going to be too lackluster.
Aside from the pills and the spirit stones, they also each received an opportunity to choose a high-rank spirit tool for themselves from the school treasure vault as well as a fifth-grade immortal-pill coupon, which could be redeemed for a free immortal pill of fifth grade or below from Yi Xi. Xu Xiaolan reached the highest level among the three of them, so she received two fifth-grade immortal-pill coupons.
As for An Lin, he was going to be commended across the entire school.
There was no point mentioning the spirit pills and spirit stones as there were only about a dozen spirit pills and over a hundred thousand spirit stones.
The two high-rank spirit tools and five fifth-grade immortal-pill coupons weren’t really noteworthy either.
An Lin didn’t even take a second glance at the shiny trophy and medal.
He turned to his homeroom teacher and cut straight to the point by asking, “Where is Emperor Ziwei’s inheritance?”
Sword Immortal Ling Xiao: “…”
He was in quite a difficult position; it wasn’t as if he could just go and interrogate Emperor Ziwei!
He was one of the Emperors of the Heavenly Court! No one could force him to give an inheritance if he didn’t want to!
Furthermore, An Lin’s pummeling of Emperor Ziwei had made headlines across the entire continent. He was already quite fortunate that Emperor Ziwei hadn’t decided to exact any form of revenge on him. For him to ask for an inheritance now would be tempting Emperor Ziwei to change his mind!
After much persuasion, Sword Immortal Ling Xiao was finally able to talk An Lin into waiting another week for the inheritance.
If Emperor Ziwei still hadn’t said anything in a week, then as An Lin’s homeroom teacher, he would have to sacrifice himself for the sake of his student…
Sword Immortal Ling Xiao looked up into the sky as he commended his own bravery and selflessness.
After school, An Lin brought his trophy and medal back to his dorm room.
The trophy had been carved out from a large vital stone and was exuding extremely powerful vital energy fluctuations. At a rough estimate, it was probably worth over a hundred thousand spirit stones. There was also a string of text on the trophy—”An Lin, Future Hope of The Heavenly Court!”
The medal was constructed from a polished five-colored jewel found in the East Sea. The craftsmanship and materials used were both exquisite, and the words “Small War God of The Heavenly Court” were emblazoned on its surface.
“Heh… looks like the Heavenly Court officials are willing to recognize me as a War God.” A smug smile appeared on An Lin’s face.
“Don’t get complacent, there’s still True Lord Erlang above you. Can’t you see the ‘small’ in front of your War God title?” Xu Xiaolan cautioned.
“Right! Xiaolan is right! Celestial Maiden Xiaolan is the compass that prevents me from losing myself in the face of glory so that I can continue down the path of further glory and greatness!” An Lin replied with a serious expression.
Xu Xiaolan rolled her eyes An Lin. “Quit running your mouth!”
Back at the dorm room.
An Lin tallied up all the items within his storage ring to find that he had a lot of immortal pills, so he had no use for all these immortal-pill coupons! As for high-rank spirit tools, what high-rank spirit tools should he exchange for?
It felt like only immortal tools were of any interest to him now.
This was the epitome of a first-world problem…
In the end, he asked around to see what immortal pills or spirit tools his beast pets needed.
However, none of them really needed anything aside from Tina who requested for wood-type immortal pill imbued with extremely powerful life-force energy in order to help her construct the world within the mirror.
“What’s this world within the mirror?” An Lin asked with curiosity in his eyes.
Tina blinked her emerald eyes as she replied, “It’s that fragment of the realm core thing that you were talking about. It managed to construct a new world with the Ancient Tai Chu Realm Qi Lou City as a reference, so it’s just like a world within a mirror.”
An Lin’s interest was immediately piqued as he placed Tina on his palm before asking with excitement on his face, “Tell me what the situation is like in that world.”
Very few people knew about Tina’s attainment of the fragment of the realm core.
A fragment of the realm core that fused with a living being was completely unheard of.
Aside from himself and Xue Zhantian, only the three Blood Tribe slaves knew about this.
Oh, perhaps the snow maidens knew as well…
As for why Tina had never mentioned anything about the fragment of the realm core before this, it was because she was a little muddled herself. Back when she absorbed all the wandering spirits within Qi Lou City, it was more so an instinctive response triggered by the instruction of the fragment of the realm core, rather than a conscious action.
However, Tina had developed an elementary understanding of the power of the fragment of the realm core within her body.
She discovered that in order to allow the wandering spirits to exist in the world within the mirror, she first had to construct a world for them, which she had already done, and secondly, she required extremely potent life-force energy as a power source to allow all the wandering spirits to continue to exist.
The power within her body alone wasn’t enough, so she required the power of an immortal pill.
An Lin considered for a moment before asking again, “Is one fifth-grade immortal pill going to be enough? Do you want a few more?”
Tina shook her head and replied, “There’s no need for that. The life-force energy imbued within one fifth-grade immortal pill is plenty.”
“Oh, right, Giant An Lin, I can project your consciousness into my world too. Do you want to come for a tour?” Tina offered with a broad grin.
An Lin’s eyes immediately lit up as he nodded in reply. “Sure!”
A vibrant smile appeared on Tina’s face as she flapped her golden wings and flew toward An Lin before placing her tiny palm on his forehead. A fragment that was caught somewhere between illusion and reality began to surface in her eyes.
She instructed in a soft voice, “Don’t refuse the invitation that is about to appear in your consciousness.”
An Lin nodded, and immediately after, a special summoning power suddenly acted on his consciousness.
He did not reject the power, and a new world appeared before him after a rush of dizziness.
