"Flowers in the mirror, moon in the water."

Feng Wuchen quickly looked up at the top of the cave and saw six powerful characters.

"Flowers in the mirror, illusions floating in the air," Feng Wuchen murmured.

"Flowers in the mirror, moon in the water?" the Green-Scaled Soaring Python frowned slightly and asked, "King, what do these six characters mean?"

"They mean illusion," Ling Xiaoxiao replied.

"Illusion? Could it be that the sealed formation is fake?" someone exclaimed.

"How is that possible? How could such a terrifying seal be an illusion? Could it be an Illusion Array?" the Green-Scaled Soaring Python was shocked.

"The sealed formation is not fake," Feng Wuchen shook his head.

"Then what does this phrase refer to? Could it be that the ancient power is fake?" the Green-Scaled Soaring Python asked.

"The flower in the mirror, the moon in the water, means that the cauldron in the formation is an illusion; there’s also a possibility that everything we see is an illusion, including the abyss outside, but this possibility is very slim," Ling Xiaoxiao explained.

"I see." The Green-Scaled Soaring Python nodded.

"The sealed formation and the aura of the ancient power are real, but the cauldron’s aura could be fake because the cauldron is used to suppress the ancient power; this so-called suppression might not be suppression at all," Ling Xiaoxiao continued.

"How could the aura of the Holy Artifact be mistaken?" someone asked in confusion.

"Didn’t Brother Feng just say it? The Illusion Array within the sealed formation changes in countless ways," Ling Xiaoxiao said, somewhat miffed.

Feng Wuchen flashed to the top of the formation, looking down, the large azure formation was like a lake, and the cauldron represented the flower and the moon, indicating they were illusions.

"If the cauldron is fake, then where is the real cauldron? There’s nothing suspicious in this cave space," Feng Wuchen muttered, frowning.

"King, could the real cauldron be above the cave? Since the moon in the water is an illusion, wouldn’t the corresponding opposite be real?" the Green-Scaled Soaring Python speculated.

"What you can think of, many others can as well. Do you think the person who set up the array would be that foolish?" Feng Wuchen replied coldly, then flashed back down.

"Xiao Xiao, what do you think?" Feng Wuchen asked, looking at Ling Xiaoxiao.

"Brother Feng, if the seal formation’s power weren’t so terrifying, I would also suspect these six characters are meant to mislead us. Since this phrase isn’t false, and we’re not in an Illusion Array, plus we’ve searched every corner here and found nothing suspicious, there’s only one possibility," Ling Xiaoxiao said seriously.

"Let’s hear it," Feng Wuchen said with a faint smile, as the Green-Scaled Soaring Python and others looked at Ling Xiaoxiao.

Ling Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Besides the flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water, there’s another saying: mirror within a mirror."

"Mirror within a mirror? Does it mean there’s another sealed formation within the sealed formation?" the Green-Scaled Soaring Python didn’t understand.

"A mirror within a mirror is also an illusion, but the mirror’s reflection might not be fake," Ling Xiaoxiao explained.

"Xiao Xiao is indeed clever," Feng Wuchen grinned; in this regard, he had to admit he wasn’t as astute.

"Brother Feng, this is just a guess; I don’t know the specifics either," Ling Xiaoxiao shook her head.

The Green-Scaled Soaring Python and others were all puzzled, not understanding what Ling Xiaoxiao meant.

"My lord, what does the mirror within a mirror mean exactly? If King’s wife says it might not be fake, then where is it?" someone asked the Green-Scaled Soaring Python.

"I don’t know," the Green-Scaled Soaring Python shook his head, not understanding either.

"King, does the lady mean it’s underground if it’s not fake?" a Transcendent Saint beast speculated.

"No," Ling Xiaoxiao shook her head.

At this point, Feng Wuchen started walking around the edge of the sealed formation, his gaze fixed on the cauldron within it.

"My lady, what is the king doing?" the Green-Scaled Soaring Python asked in a low voice.

"He’s looking for the mirror within a mirror," Ling Xiaoxiao chuckled softly.

"Mirror within a mirror?" everyone was taken aback.

Feng Wuchen stopped after walking more than halfway around, seemingly having discovered something, a smile appearing on his lips.

"Brother Feng, did you find it?" Ling Xiaoxiao excitedly flashed over.

"Found it, it’s right here. Xiao Xiao, you’re really smart, you were right on," Feng Wuchen praised.

"Found it?" the Green-Scaled Soaring Python and others were shocked and flashed over.

"I’ve been watching the cauldron within the sealed formation; earlier, I couldn’t see anything, but here I see two overlapping cauldrons," Feng Wuchen said with a faint smile, then stepped back to let Ling Xiaoxiao take a look.

Ling Xiaoxiao looked and indeed saw the shadows of two overlapping cauldrons, emitting a faint halo.

"Great, Brother Feng, we found it!" Ling Xiaoxiao exclaimed joyfully, overjoyed.

"Thanks to Xiao Xiao’s cleverness; without it, I wouldn’t have found it," Feng Wuchen laughed.

"My lady, isn’t the mirror within a mirror supposed to be seen from above? Isn’t the sealed formation a reference to that mirror?" someone asked in confusion.

Ling Xiaoxiao said, "No matter where you look, this sealed formation is a mirror, just with different visual perspectives and sizes. We didn’t look from above because Brother Feng already checked from there."

"My lady, can I take a look?" the Green-Scaled Soaring Python asked eagerly; he had never encountered such a wondrous thing before.

The Green-Scaled Soaring Python looked and was astonished; such a method to find the way to break the formation—perhaps even given a thousand years, they might not find it.

"To have hidden the method to break the formation so deeply, truly befitting the king’s wife, so clever!"

"So marvelous! To think the one who set the formation could hide the way to break it within a phrase. Though the meaning is easy to grasp, to actually find the way out, perhaps only the king’s wife in the entire Seven Divine Realms could do it."

"Indeed, indeed! The lady is so smart!"

Dozens of people praised, even looking at Ling Xiaoxiao with eyes full of admiration.

Soon after, Feng Wuchen pointed with his finger, a golden energy shot out, directly striking the cauldron.

"Buzz buzz!"

Within the sealed formation, the cauldron vibrated violently, emitting dazzling radiance, and the terrifying aura of the Holy Artifact swiftly swept through, quickly filling every corner of the cave space.

"This is the true aura of the ancient Holy Artifact," Feng Wuchen said with a faint smile.

"Is the seal broken?" the Green-Scaled Soaring Python asked.

"It’s not that easy," Feng Wuchen shook his head.

Sure enough.

As soon as Feng Wuchen finished speaking, lines of light burst out from within the sealed formation, instantly converging into countless identical cauldrons.

"This is..." Seeing thousands of cauldrons suspended around the area, the Green-Scaled Soaring Python and others were dumbfounded.

"So many ancient Holy Artifacts!" a Transcendent Saint beast exclaimed in shock.

"Only one is real; finding the real cauldron will break the seal," Ling Xiaoxiao said with a smile.

"So many, and they all have the same aura. How do we find it? How do we know which one is real?" the Green-Scaled Soaring Python asked, bewildered.

"For Brother Feng, this is a piece of cake because Brother Feng is the most powerful Alchemist in the Seven Divine Realms!" Ling Xiaoxiao laughed.
