Beings like Xiao Miaomiao, while perhaps never glimpsing certain legendary items in their lifetime, had at least heard of them.
Some things, even if one never encountered them, did not mean they wouldn't learn about them.
For instance, Xiao Miaomiao could not control the laws of time, but she could sense and identify them.
For example, Xiao Miaomiao sensed that the entity manipulating time in this spatial world was an inanimate object devoid of any life force. It was important to note that even non-human beings that had transformed after death were not entirely without a life force.
Only true inanimate objects, those that had never possessed life, would give Xiao Miaomiao such a feeling.
Furthermore, Xiao Miaomiao knew that in legends, the Kunlun Mirror was quite famous for being able to do such a thing.
Of course, the Kunlun Mirror was not the only artifact capable of this.
However, even with that said, the Kunlun Mirror was still the first thing that came to mind, which was the reputation of a renowned divine artifact. Because its name was so grand, it was widely known.
Oh, and non-humans knew of it too.
Xiao Miaomiao couldn't help but feel a bit confused.
She knew of Ye Tiancheng and the others. Without a special reason, many matters would naturally and inevitably be pushed aside in Ye Tiancheng's presence. At this critical juncture, what could be more important than gathering the fragments of the Fuxi Qin?
Ye Tiancheng was clearly looking for the Fuxi Qin fragments; there was no reason for him to detour and look for the Kunlun Mirror.
Moreover, how did the Kunlun Mirror end up here?
In Xiao Miaomiao's memory, the Kunlun Mirror had been lost on the Jiuzhou Continent about two to three hundred years ago. No one knew where it had fallen, and there had been no news for a long time.
However, there was one thing that many humans and non-humans knew.
The Kunlun Mirror had been taken away from the Jiuzhou Continent and was definitely not within it.
So, how could the Kunlun Mirror appear here?
Could this be some kind of trick?
With such doubts, Xiao Miaomiao disregarded many things that were not important. Xiao Miaomiao could sense that many humans also lived in this spatial world, but she had no interest in saving them.
Xiao Miaomiao did have affection for humans, but her status also brought a certain indifference.
This was because Xiao Miaomiao could perceive that, in a certain sense, these humans, these people living here, were no longer truly human.
Rather than speaking of "saving" them, the only act of mercy was to leave them be and let them live here.
These people could no longer return to normal human society.
Xiao Miaomiao confirmed this with just a sweep of her divine sense.
But this point made Xiao Miaomiao a little worried.
It seemed that these humans had become this way because of this spatial world.
Therefore, Xiao Miaomiao couldn't help but worry that Ye Tiancheng and the other four might also be affected negatively.
With such worry, Xiao Miaomiao's search for Ye Tiancheng and the others became even faster. She just wanted to find them quickly, help them, and then take them away from this strange place as soon as possible.
This was not a good place, from any perspective.
Xiao Miaomiao bypassed those "humans" and tracked the aura of Ye Tiancheng and the four of them. The more she tracked, the more lost she became.
She was starting to get confused.
What kind of place was this?
How could the spatial worlds here be layered, with another world within one world, and then another within that, and so on? At least one layer, or perhaps two, or even more.
Furthermore, the timelines within this place were quite chaotic.
Xiao Miaomiao could even sense that some of the timelines here were overlapping with the real world outside and were influencing each other.
What was even more unexpected for Xiao Miaomiao was that after descending to this level, she discovered that Ye Tiancheng and the little fox, along with Nie Chongyang and Liang Ping, had been scattered into different timelines.
Moreover, their auras were very weak.
Xiao Miaomiao had to be cautious. She finally found that the auras of Ye Tiancheng and the little fox were more distinct, so she followed the timeline where Ye Tiancheng and the little fox were.
To Xiao Miaomiao's surprise, this time, she was a step too late.
Xiao Miaomiao could clearly sense that the place she had arrived at this time had fresh auras, meaning that her arrival and Ye Tiancheng's departure were almost simultaneous events.
Moreover, Ye Tiancheng and the little fox had not simply left.
They had not only left this place but also this timeline.
However, what gave Xiao Miaomiao a little comfort was that she discovered that the auras of Ye Tiancheng and the little fox were beginning to overlap with the location of Nie Chongyang's timeline.
And, with the guidance of Ye Tiancheng and the little fox's auras, Xiao Miaomiao was finally able to accurately pursue them and find Ye Tiancheng and the others.
Therefore, Xiao Miaomiao took a slight breath, determined the correct location, and once again pursued Ye Tiancheng and the others.
It was only because Xiao Miaomiao was powerful enough, had lived long enough, and knew more things, coupled with the fact that although Xiao Miaomiao could not control the laws of time, she was still much better than humans. Traversing various timelines and these spatial worlds was generally easier for her.
It was just a bit tiring to travel.
However, for Xiao Miaomiao, this level was not enough to make her feel uncomfortable or troubled.
Xiao Miaomiao was still managing quite well.
Ye Tiancheng and the little fox had no idea that Xiao Miaomiao was following them. When Ye Tiancheng and the little fox opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a tomb.
This tomb was filled with many burial objects such as gold and silver treasures, and of course, there was a coffin and many doors.
More importantly, Ye Tiancheng and the little fox saw Liang Ping in this tomb.
However, before they could feel happy or relieved, they suddenly realized why they only saw Liang Ping and not Nie Chongyang.
Seeing Ye Tiancheng and the little fox suddenly appear in the tomb, Liang Ping almost thought he was dreaming. But the next moment, Liang Ping immediately became vigilant.
In such a ghostly place, he had almost been deceived before.
Moreover, Liang Ping knew that Ye Tiancheng and the little fox had been trapped in another timeline and couldn't find a way to get here. How could they have appeared here so quickly? There might be a trap.
Ye Tiancheng and the little fox sensed Liang Ping's vigilance, but they didn't think Liang Ping's attitude was problematic.
If they were in the same situation, they would react the same way.
Moreover, when they first saw Liang Ping, after their initial excitement and relief passed, they themselves couldn't help but become somewhat vigilant.
In short, in such a strange place, without truly confirming the identity of the other party, they couldn't be sure that the people around them were completely fine.
Ye Tiancheng and the little fox immediately began to probe each other. However, this time, Liang Ping seemed even more vigilant than usual. After a long period of probing, he finally somewhat believed Ye Tiancheng and the little fox.
Because Ye Tiancheng and the little fox also did not see Nie Chongyang here, they felt that Liang Ping's attitude might be related to Nie Chongyang's disappearance.
Could it be that they were too late, and something had happened to Nie Chongyang?
Ye Tiancheng and the little fox's hearts sank.
Because they had completely confirmed each other's identities, Ye Tiancheng and the little fox could then communicate with Liang Ping about what had happened.
Liang Ping, upon seeing Ye Tiancheng and the little fox and confirming their authenticity, finally relaxed a little, as he finally had a pillar of support to rely on.
Liang Ping's expression eased slightly, but he was also a bit dejected.
However, there were some things he hadn't said yet.
Liang Ping asked Ye Tiancheng and the others, "When we were talking before, I didn't get a chance to ask, but didn't you say you couldn't find a way to come over before? How did you suddenly find a way so quickly?"
The little fox told Liang Ping, "We were waiting for your reply in the ruined room of the hotel, but suddenly, you stopped replying for a long time. So, my elder brother and I suspected that something might have happened on your end."
"Then, after waiting for a while and not hearing back, we became worried, especially since you suddenly lost contact."
"My elder brother and I were worried that something might have happened to you and Captain Nie, and that you might not be able to handle it, so we were a bit anxious and tried to find a way to get to your side."
Liang Ping nodded and said, "Indeed, something unexpected happened on our end at that time, but neither Nie team nor I expected that we wouldn't have a chance to reply to you afterward."
"But, did you find a way to use the mirror?"
"I remember you saying before that you couldn't use the Kunlun Mirror due to insufficient activation conditions."
Ye Tiancheng explained to Liang Ping, "That's exactly right. We couldn't meet the conditions to activate the Kunlun Mirror, but given the situation at the time, we couldn't wait. We had to think of other ways."
"Then I thought, since this Kunlun Mirror has always belonged to the Lin family, and the Lin family, at least the three siblings Lin Yanqin, should know how to use the Kunlun Mirror."
"So, perhaps they have other methods of using the Kunlun Mirror, or they can meet the conditions to activate it."
"I was thinking if we could use this to our advantage."
The little fox also nodded and said to Liang Ping, "At that time, we really had no other choice. Because we were very anxious, and there was no news from your side for a long time, we said we would immediately rush back to the hotel where we were temporarily staying, and try our luck."
"When we got there, Lin Yanshu had gone somewhere with many people and left the hotel, but they should be back."
"But at that time, my elder brother and I didn't have time to wait, so we went to find Lin Yanqin."
"However, we also accidentally discovered something else about Lin Yanqin. Do you remember Lin Yanqin has a half-brother? At that time, we discovered that Lin Yanqin and this brother of hers were communicating privately and had some disputes, but unfortunately, we didn't hear much."
