Xuanyuan Wushang stood on the non-stage looking at the Bright Mirror. He stood there for a full ten days, and his expression was slightly frowning and serious all the time.

After ten days, Xuanyuan Wushang finally shook his head, came down, and let out a long sigh: "Strange, how strange. This shouldn't be the path I need to take, not the destiny I want. It must not be like this. Strange, so strange indeed."

Hearing Xuanyuan Wushang muttering to himself, Tangyu also asked, "What did you see?"

Xuanyuan Wushang shook his head and said, "It's messy and chaotic, quite strange things. It seems that my mind is not deep enough. This time, the training on my mentality is still insufficient."

Upon hearing this, Pan Chenyu couldn't help but look eager and said, "Let me take a look." With that, Pan Chenyu jumped onto the non-stage and started looking at the Bright Mirror. As he looked, Pan Chenyu's brow was furrowed tightly, but then it would occasionally relax, his expression was fascinating—no one knew what he saw. Pan Chenyu also stayed there for a full half-month before he finally came down from the stage.

Still with a thoughtful look, he unconsciously walked down, with eyes vacant, mind wandering who knows where. When he reached Tangyu and the others, he still hadn't returned to his senses, looking like he had lost his soul.

Tangyu patted Pan Chenyu, which made him suddenly snap back and look at Tangyu. Tangyu also asked, "What did you see?"

Pan Chenyu shook his head: "I don't know, it's hard to say, as if I remember but also remember nothing. The hardships of the mortal world, step by step difficult, each step reaching heaven. Defying the heavens, defying the heavens, an eternal skull of the mortal world."

Tangyu and Xuanyuan Wushang both frowned, exchanging glances with each other. The words Pan Chenyu spoke carried a deep meaning, as if they contained some Great Dao principles, extremely profound. This surprised Tangyu and Xuanyuan, could it be that Pan Chenyu comprehended some mysteries of the Great Dao? Being able to say such insightful and philosophical things, it certainly wasn't simple. Besides, Pan Chenyu stayed on the non-stage for a full half-month, much longer than Xuanyuan Wushang.

Though staying on it longer doesn't necessarily mean better, it shouldn't be worse, right?

Xuanyuan Wushang slightly frowned, thoughtfully looking at Pan Chenyu and said, "What exactly did you see? Did you comprehend some of the Great Dao?"

Pan Chenyu looked at Xuanyuan Wushang, thought for a moment, and still shook his head: "I don't know, I don't know, it's a very wondrous feeling. I did feel like I vaguely grasped something, but when I think carefully, my mind is utterly blank, as if there's nothing there—just such a strange feeling. I just seemed to have fallen into a strange vortex tunnel, a lot of blurry images flashed in my mind, extremely unclear, couldn't grasp them, couldn't see clearly what they were."

Tangyu and Xuanyuan Wushang were both baffled by this situation and didn't know what was happening. But from the sound of it, Pan Chenyu seemed to have gained something, which might also be an indescribably good trial on his mentality.

Then Tangyu looked towards the Bright Mirror and the non-stage; now he was the only one who hadn't gone up. Tangyu also calmed his mood and walked over, quickly stepping onto the non-stage, looking at the Bright Mirror. Upon stepping on the non-stage, he felt a marvelous and indescribable feeling—a sensation so wondrous as if there was an illusion of falling into a special world.

Tangyu's gaze fell on the Bright Mirror. This Bright Mirror was very wondrous. It was clearly just a white stone, but it could reflect a person's image like a mirror, even clearer than a mirror. Tangyu focused intently on the Bright Mirror, quickly feeling that his gaze was entirely absorbed into it, entering a small world within the Bright Mirror.

Scenes after scenes flashed from within Tangyu's mind.

Strange scenes, blurred scenes, indescribable feelings, impacting Tangyu. It was chaotic, very chaotic, like a boiling pot, suddenly exploding in Tangyu's mind, making Tangyu feel as though his head was about to explode.

This terrifying feeling made Tangyu want to retreat.

However, Tangyu couldn't admit defeat like this, so he tried to calm his mentality, heart like still water, artistic conception profound.

"Bright Mirror also a non-stage, where does the dust alight? What does this mean? What kind of Great Dao mysteries does it contain?"

Tangyu was also pondering this question in his heart. He vaguely felt as if he touched upon something, grasped some things, but couldn't hold onto them, as if there was nothing tangible after all. This somewhat strange feeling led Tangyu to delve deeply into thought.

At this moment, Tangyu was completely immersed in another world.

Xuanyuan Wushang and the other two quietly watched Tangyu, patiently waiting.

"Huh, why has Tangyu become so utterly calm? So tranquil. There's not a trace of emotion on his face, it's as if he's completely frozen. What's going on?" Pan Chenyu suddenly spoke with some surprise.

Xuanyuan Wushang looked at Tangyu, lost in thought for a moment, and with slight surprise in his eyes, he said, "Heart like still water, Bright Mirror not a platform, such high artistic conception. I didn't expect Brother Tangyu's mental state to be so mysterious and rare, it demands utmost admiration. It seems Tangyu will have great gains this time."

"Is that so? That's truly impressive," Pan Chenyu was startled once again.

Only Sun Wukong didn't have the same excitement now, as he realized he had spent the shortest time on Bright Mirror not a platform, just under one hour. While Tangyu and the others had started ten days and more. So, at this time, Sun Wukong also looked a bit depressed.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, yet Tangyu remained like a statue, still as ancient and emotionless, completely frozen.

"It's been half a month, and Tangyu shows no sign of stopping. It seems he'll be on Bright Mirror not a platform for a long time. Looks like he might really comprehend some mysteries of the Great Dao. Sure, Tangyu's talent is terrifying," Pan Chenyu said, though he himself claimed to be a peerless genius, against Tangyu, he truly felt immense admiration, from the depths of his heart. Besides Tangyu, there was really no one else who made him feel this way.

Time slipped by, and a month had passed.

Xuanyuan Wushang smiled and said, "We've been here waiting for a month with bated breath, it's such a waste of time. We don't know how long Tangyu will take to finish. We don't dare make any noise to disturb him, otherwise, I could spar with Sun Wukong, life is really boring."

Speaking of boredom, Sun Wukong also vented his frustration, "It's too dull, I'm sick from holding back. This Tangyu really made us wait. When he's done, old Sun will definitely give him a thump with my staff."

Just then, Tangyu, who had been silent all along, finally stirred, his stiff face relaxed, revealing a light smile. He glanced over here and stepped down from Bright Mirror not a platform: "Monkey King, do you want to thump me?"

Sun Wukong grinned and said, "Yeah, you made us wait a whole month. Come on Tangyu, take old Sun's staff."

"Cough—" Hearing this, Tangyu immediately felt inexplicably uncomfortable, why did that sound so unpleasant? Tangyu also smirked, realizing he had stayed on Bright Mirror not a platform for a month, indeed making them wait: "Sorry to keep you waiting."

Pan Chenyu curiously asked, "Tangyu, what did you see? You seem to have gained a lot, enlightenment on the Great Dao?"

Tangyu shook his head and said, "Enlightening the Great Dao is not that easy. Our realm is still too low. If one could understand some Great Dao, that could propel us to Zifu. The Great Dao naturally isn't so easily comprehended. However—this time I gained quite a bit, I feel my mental state has improved significantly. On Bright Mirror not a platform, everything in my eyes now reflects as a bright mirror, my heart holds a mirror, no matter the worldly distractions, I can see through it directly to the essence."

Xuanyuan Wushang looked at Tangyu in mild amazement and said, "Amazing, Tangyu. With that, you'll have numerous advantages over others in cultivating techniques and seeking enlightenment. Pointing directly to the essence, dispelling the mists, no cultivation technique will be difficult for you now. Such gains should greatly enhance your cultivation speed. Amazing, just one Bright Mirror not a platform, and you gained so much, seems this trip to Luoyu Immortal Palace will let Brother Tangyu you return full-handed. You might even break through to the Zifu Realm. If you enter Zifu, although you might not rival Seeking Immortal, the seventh or eighth layer of Zifu should be no problem."

"At that time, Tangyu you'll be considered standing among the peaks of the Cultivation World, impressive indeed."

"Truly awe-inspiring, but Tangyu, what exactly did you see? Really so mystical, can you see past lives?" Pan Chenyu asked.

Tangyu shook his head and said, "I don't know, what I saw is too vague now, seemed like very distant memories. Feel there's something, but can't recall, just this strange feeling. So, I don't know."

Pan Chenyu and Xuanyuan Wushang fell silent as well, having been on Bright Mirror not a platform, they indeed had such sensations.

Sun Wukong grinned and said, "Just stop your discussion, talking about seeing past lives, that would belong to old Sun. So the shorter time spent on Bright Mirror not a platform the better. Hehe, so if you want to admire someone, it should be old Sun. No, Great Sage Equalling Heaven, come on admire Great Sage Equalling Heaven quickly, I will accept your worship."

Tangyu and the other three tacitly ignored Sun Wukong. While chatting, the three of them began to leave, continuing their adventures elsewhere. Seeing the three ignore him and walk away, Sun Wukong bared his teeth but followed them.
