Even so, what he was seeing now wasnât the highest configuration he had envisioned!
As a rare Space Element amongst Commander Level Artifact Pet Beasts, the Mirror of Reflection possessed immense potential! It could be upgraded to a Mirror of Refraction with Emperor Level potential. If an Emperor Level Mirror of Refraction was at its heart, then this Reflected World would become a truly indistinguishable boundary between reality and the mirrored world.
Of course, there were even the legendary Spirit Saint Level Mirrors of Reflecting Heavens, but Bai Cangâs imagination was ultimately limited by his understanding.
So, after Bai Cangâs introduction, a series of events unfolded that surpassed everyoneâs expectations.
"Commander Level?"
Upon hearing this, the four people present all grew somewhat cautious.
For these five youths, the strongest among them were Ding Xiaolong and Zhao Qingqing, who were at Elite Peak; if there were truly a few Commander Level Mirrors of Reflection, it would indeed pose a real danger.
Seeing the cautious expressions of the four, Bai Cang smiled faintly. "Donât worry. Artifact Pet Beasts are indeed Pet Beasts, but they donât have many biological characteristics. As long as you donât actively threaten them, they wonât bother you! Furthermore, the Mirror of Reflection was sent by Miss Dong, and she gave instructions, so there wonât be any trouble."
With that, the others relaxed slightly. Li Shu looked at the corridor made entirely of mirrors, dizzy from the reflections, and hastily said, "Alright, alright, weâve seen enough. Letâs go, donât keep Bro Ping waiting. Old Bai, do you still know the way out?"
This mirror maze was like a true labyrinth, with no discernible entrances or exits. Li Shu no longer dared to underestimate this âcounterpartâ of his.
This fellow might be on par with me when it comes to flattery, but his ability to design such a fiendish contraption means he absolutely canât be underestimated.
With a chuckle, Bai Cang took out an electronic map. As the designer, he obviously had a backup plan. After checking the location on the map, he said, "Alright, follow me."
Ten minutes later, the group of five, still facing corridors that turned around mirrored corners, looked dubiously at Bai Cang.
Bai Cang also blinked, scratching his head in some astonishment. "Hmm? Did I mark it wrong? No, that canât be right. I remember it was this way."
"It should be nearby; letâs look around," Zhao Qingqing suggested.
"Hey, havenât you ever watched horror movies? When a small group splits up, theyâre guaranteed to die!" Guan Lili spoke up weakly, making everyone present laugh.
"Lili, you have an Undead Cultivator right next to you! Are you still afraid of this?"
Li Shu grinned and then patted his not-so-broad chest. "Thatâs right, Lili. If youâre scared, just stick with me. Iâll protect you. Whatâs so scary about a few broken mirrors? HA HA HA!"
"Exactly. Besides, Bro Bai designed this place himself. Itâs probably just an equipment malfunction," Ding Xiaolong added from the side.
"Alright, letâs split up and search," Zhao Qingqing said, sounding somewhat resigned.
She had no interest whatsoever in this world of mirrors. If Li Shu hadnât wanted to come see it with Bai Cang, she wouldnât have bothered. What truly concerned her was the matter Su Ping had summoned them for.
It wouldnât be good to be late.
"Sis Qingqing, Iâll go with you," Guan Lili quickly grabbed Zhao Qingqingâs sleeve.
She was genuinely frightened by such places and things.
"Alright, just call out when you find it. This Reflected World maze looks big, but as long as we donât stray too far, there shouldnât be a problem," Li Shu responded.
"Okay, Iâll go first then. BOO HOO HOO, Lili, if I donât make it back, you have to tell Bro Ping to come save me! HA HA HA!" he teased Guan Lili before leaving.
The latter, long accustomed to his antics, merely rolled her eyes at him. "Itâd serve you right if a ghost snatched you away!"
Undeterred, Li Shu was the first to step into an adjacent corridor, also constructed from mirrors.
Seriously, Old Bai is just an Elite Level Beast Tamer. Itâs just a haunted house he designed, whatâs there to be scared of? Besides, the Mirror of Reflection isnât even active yet. Such a timid girl...
However, after walking for a good two minutes without finding any sign of an exit, Li Shu also grew impatient.
Is Old Bai out of his mind? Getting trapped by his own design? And he still wants to be Bro Pingâs student? This guy didnât do this on purpose, did he? Trying to get us to test out the effects of this Reflected World?
Shaking his head, Li Shu ran his palm along the mirrored walls as he walked, grumbling all the while.
This allowed him to use his sense of touch to determine which were actual paths and which were reflections.
But soon, his palm felt a sudden emptiness.
The cold touch of the mirror he had just been feeling vanished.
Li Shu glanced to his side and scratched his head. "Did I not walk this way before? Is this a fork in the road?"
Nevertheless, when he stretched out his arm, it met nothing, as expected.
This illusory world, formed by countless mirrors and reflections, made it exceedingly difficult to distinguish truth from falsehood. Moreover, Li Shu couldnât summon his Pet Beast; after all, this was Bro Pingâs domain, and it wouldnât do to damage anything.
Without much more thought, Li Shu directly followed that path, stepping into the fork.
The world of mirrors seemed endless. After walking for several more minutes, Li Shu finally sensed that something was amiss.
