If Jiang Wang had known that Hu Shaomeng had possessed the Rouge Mirror for many years and never dared to enter the world within with his divine soul, perhaps he would have been much more cautious today.

However, there are no “ifs.”

The Rouge Mirror was seized by murder, and no one told him of its taboos.

So he could only face the tribulation!

In the vast snowfield, Jiang Wang trudged alone.

In the knife-like cold wind, his eyebrows, eyes, and will became increasingly solid and clear.

He never lacked decisiveness. Since his divine soul was trapped, he unhesitatingly poured all his soul power into the world within the Rouge Mirror.

Since he had to face the tribulation, he couldn’t waver.

He didn’t know what the so-called “Flying Snow Tribulation” was, but he figured he definitely couldn’t survive it with his fragmented divine soul power.

And if his divine soul were injured now, what future could he speak of? He had nowhere to seek help, and no one to ask for it from.

Deep down, Jiang Wang was not lacking in ruthlessness, especially when facing danger.

Either his soul would be destroyed, and he would die. Or… he would meet the tribulation and break through it!

The wind and snow grew colder.

In the boundless white snow world, bursts of coldness were tormenting.

Jiang Wang activated the Vermilion Bird Body Refinement Art, simulating the effects of the Vermilion Bird Body Refinement in this snowy world of his divine soul.

The body formed by his divine soul felt as if a furnace had been ignited within. Warm and cozy.

The cold was temporarily dispelled.

The world seemed to be divided by the boundary of the body formed by his divine soul, one side cold and the other warm.

At this moment, Jiang Wang’s almost frozen thoughts were reactivated.

He began to think about a way out of this snowfield.

But all around was vast and boundless, and no end could be seen in any direction.

There wasn’t even a tree, only mountains and snow, so there were no landmarks.

Looking at the sky, it was as blue as a wash, like a huge and flawless water mirror embedded in the sky.

There were no clouds, no sun, and the light came from nowhere.

But the real problem was—without the sun, there was no direction.

Jiang Wang used the Dao technique of Remembrance, but after a long time, the Remembrance Grass could not condense into form.

Trouble…

But he was not discouraged.

Judging from his existing experience, the Flying Snow Tribulation existing in the Rouge Mirror should be a kind of test, the result of which may correspond to the degree of control over the Rouge Mirror.

Since it was a test, it would not necessarily be a death tribulation. If whoever obtained the Rouge Mirror was to be killed by it, then there would be no need for it to trigger a “tribulation” in this form.

Perhaps there was no direction, no way out.

Or rather, the “way out” was here, without needing to be sought or being able to be sought.

A realization arose in Jiang Wang’s heart.

He pressed a flame flower on the ground. The snow melted, revealing hard soil.

Jiang Wang stomped down on it, making a dull thud.

The frozen earth sounded like a drum, its sound deep and heavy.

He simply stopped there, fixed in place, and began to carefully comprehend the mysteries of the Vermilion Bird Body Refinement Art.

The Vermilion Bird is in the south, and its five elements belong to fire.

He specialized in the fire and wood elements, and had some insights into the Dao of Fire.

Fire is hot and violent, but it can also represent warmth and light, depending on how it is used.

At this time, he was using the warmth of fire to resist the cold of the Flying Snow Tribulation.

He didn’t know how much time had passed.

From the azure, mirror-like sky, snowflakes fell in large flakes, with considerable distance in between, so they were not dense.

Jiang Wang reached out and caught a snowflake, and couldn’t help but gasp, feeling an icy chill.

The snowflakes falling now were much colder than the snow that previously existed in this snowfield. They seemed able to directly freeze the divine soul!

Flying Snow Tribulation, the tribulation is the flying snow!

“It’s best not to be touched by these snowflakes,” Jiang Wang thought.

He looked up, staring straight at the sky, watching the azure sky mirror as if reflecting something, watching the ruthless snow fall.

There was only him alone between heaven and earth.

He moved.

His right hand formed a sword with his fingers, and he seemed to dance as if drawing a sword.

He floated and turned in the flying snow, without a single flake touching him.

The snow fell faster and faster, denser and denser.

Jiang Wang turned faster and faster, running faster and faster.

For a time, the entire snowfield world was filled with the figure of Jiang Wang dancing with his sword.

And the heavy snow fell.

The heavy snow fell fluttering, densely packed.

The sword light flickered left and right, plunging into a fierce battle.

The sword’s momentum was like a swimming dragon startling the frost, this man was fighting against the snow!

He didn’t know how much time had passed, but the snow finally became so dense that there was no space for people to avoid it.

A flame flower bloomed overhead, melting the snowflakes.

A single snowflake actually melted into a ball of water, pouring down on his head.

Knowing that this water must not be touched, Jiang Wang hurriedly dodged to avoid it.

His hands formed seals non-stop, and a cyan vine snake drilled out of the ground, entwining and coiling above his head.

Could he avoid the wind and snow by using the vine snake to entwine a wall as a roof?

The answer came quickly.

Almost at the moment the snowflakes fell, the vine snake wall collapsed into wood element energy.

This Flying Snow Tribulation seemed to restrain Dao techniques, although the defensive Dao techniques that Jiang Wang was good at were not powerful, or perhaps that was the reason.

Since all methods were ineffective, Jiang Wang simply sat cross-legged.

Azure Dragon Body Refinement, the Dao of Wood brimming with vitality.

Vermilion Bird Body Refinement, the beginning of life in the Dao of Fire.

White Tiger Body Refinement, the decisive killing of the Dao of Metal.

Black Tortoise Body Refinement, the Dao of Water with the capacity to contain all things.

Life and death rotated, and the four spirits converged.

And the Flying Snow Tribulation seemed to be endless.

The flow of time and the movement of space could only be reflected with reference objects.

In this silent, eternally unchanging snowfield, time and space seemed to have lost their meaning.

At first, he could still hear the wind and feel even the gentlest snowflake.

Slowly, he could hear nothing and feel nothing.

Jiang Wang turned into a snowman.

The snow deepened and thickened, gradually burying him.

He became one with the snowfield, as if he had become one of the snowfields.

Perhaps those divine souls that had fallen into the snowy world in the mirror were themselves a part of the Flying Snow Tribulation. Now Jiang Wang would become one of them.

The first to notice the problem was Xiao Xiao.

She came to Jiang Wang to report on town affairs. She could handle most of it herself, and only needed Jiang Wang to make decisions on matters involving Jiacheng and the Four Seas Merchant Alliance.

However, after Jiang Wang entered the room, he did not come out for ten full days.

It was common for cultivators to lose track of time during seclusion. However, Jiang Wang had not informed her in advance, and with the rat plague in Qingyang Town not yet completely over, this was not the time to be in secluded cultivation.
On the eleventh day, Xiao Xiao couldn’t help but push open the door to the room directly – as Jiang Wang’s personal maid, she was the only person in Qingyang Town who could enter Jiang Wang’s room without permission without causing misunderstanding.

After all, she had been cleaning Jiang Wang’s room for many days.

Seeing Jiang Wang sitting on the bed, holding a mirror in his hand, his whole body stiff, she was almost scared out of her wits – if not for the fact that after probing, she heard his faint heartbeat.

The heartbeat was very weak, very slow, but it existed after all.

She realized that Jiang Wang might have encountered problems in his cultivation, but she knew nothing about this aspect and didn’t know where to start.

After thinking about it, she quietly went to find Zhu Biqiong.

Originally, among the other extraordinary cultivators in Qingyang Town, the two medical cultivators sent by the Chongxuan family should have been the most helpful in this situation.

But Xiao Xiao was not familiar with them and could not trust them. She even lacked trust in the Chongxuan family.

Before, an old man from the Chongxuan family had opposed Jiang Wang and was slapped away by Jiang Wang. She remembered it clearly.

What if these two medical cultivators had malicious intentions…?

Among the remaining three extraordinary cultivators on Jiang Wang’s side, although Zhang Hai was almost obsessed with alchemy, he was still familiar with basic medical principles. But in Xiao Xiao’s opinion, his heart was only focused on the unattainable divine pill, and his loyalty to Jiang Wang was somewhat lacking. In such a critical moment, she couldn’t entrust trust.

As for Xiang Qian, she would not even consider him. Not long ago, Xiang Qian had publicly questioned whether Jiang Wang had done enough for Qingyang Town.

Xiao Xiao was a vigilant person and lacked trust in this world.

The reason she chose to ask Zhu Biqiong for help was that she was learning martial arts from Zhu Biqiong and was relatively more familiar with her, understanding her innocent and carefree personality.

Secondly, she knew that there was no great conflict of interest between Zhu Biqiong and Jiang Wang, and Zhu Biqiong herself was not someone who lacked resources. The possibility of danger was relatively the lowest.

This was the safest choice she thought after weighing the options.

When Zhu Biqiong saw Jiang Wang’s current state, she was also at a loss.

She tried to infuse Jiang Wang with Dao energy and gave him pills from Diaohailou for consolidation, but they were all in vain.

Jiang Wang just sat there, like a clay sculpture.

Zhu Biqiong was, after all, a Tongtian realm cultivator and knew that she couldn’t touch the mirror in Jiang Wang’s hand, but other than that, she didn’t know what else to do.

Seeing that she was also helpless, Xiao Xiao became even more uneasy and couldn’t help but ask, “Should we ask the medical cultivators?”

She thought that with Zhu Biqiong guarding him, Jiang Wang’s safety could be guaranteed.

“This is not a problem that medical cultivators can solve.” Zhu Biqiong shook her head and pointed to the small mirror in Jiang Wang’s hand, saying, “He is now trapped in this mirror. I am not familiar with the situation and dare not enter rashly, for fear of backfiring. Judging from the current situation, he can only rely on himself to get out.”

“Can he get out on his own?” Xiao Xiao was anxious.

But she quickly said, “Yes, Master will definitely be able to!”

“Yes.” Zhu Biqiong said, “In the Tongtian realm, Jiang Wang is the strongest cultivator I have ever seen.”

She didn’t know if this would help him get out of the mirror, but it was still a comfort. Whether it was for Xiao Xiao or for herself.

“It’s useless to stay here, let’s go out and think of other ways.”

Involving the extraordinary realm, Zhu Biqiong was the more experienced one, so she seemed more mature at this time – Du Gu Xiao was already somewhat distraught.

Opening the door, both of them were stunned.

Because Xiang Qian was standing outside the door.

Obviously, Du Gu Xiao secretly asked Zhu Biqiong to come and see Jiang Wang, not wanting anyone to know about the abnormality, but he couldn’t hide it from him.

“What happened to Jiang Wang?” Xiang Qian asked directly.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Xiao Xiao bit her lower lip and didn’t speak, and Zhu Biqiong secretly prepared illusions.

Seeing their vigilant appearance, Xiang Qian reacted.

He took a step back to show that he had no hostility. Then he turned around directly, with his back to the door, and sat down on the ground, not caring if it was dirty.

“Miss Du Gu.” He said to Xiao Xiao and Zhu Biqiong with his back to them, “Here, you are the person Jiang Wang trusts the most. From today onwards, I will guard this place. Who can enter this room and who cannot, you decide.”

Xiang Qian is not a very good communicator. Except for those discouraging times, like telling people to die, telling people to give up…

When the Qian manager of the Sihai Merchant Guild came to question him, he only said one sentence – he actually felt that explanation was meaningless. He didn’t think Jiang Wang would believe him, or rather, would choose to believe him in the face of pressure from the Sihai Merchant Guild.

The reason why he still explained that one sentence was probably because of the child who had eaten the egg, because of his smile.

He really didn’t expect Jiang Wang to take responsibility without hesitation, without even blaming him. Even Zhang Hai, who was completely uninvolved, complained about him semi-veiled.

Those two hundred Dao yuan stones were said to be compensation, but weren’t they also a sign of trust in him?

Xiang Qian didn’t even say thank you at that time, and he won’t express any determination now.

He is sitting here, which is a determination in itself.

Xiao Xiao was stunned for a long time before saying, “Oh.”
