As soon as the masters make a move, it's evident whether they have what it takes; from the brief exchange, both sides know neither is easy to deal with.

Yin Zhuo King was merely probing with his strike just now, but Nezha also casually retaliated. In terms of the result, Nezha came out slightly ahead.

This was because Nezha reacted second, and none of the surrounding Immortals were injured.

Nezha is now a Quasi-Saint, having Slayed Two Corpses, but his cultivation is actually superior to that of Yin Zhuo King. He Slayed Three Corpses purely to assist himself in breaking through to Chaos Origin.

Strictly speaking, he is actually at the stage right before breaking through to Chaos Origin, while Yin Zhuo King is far from that level.

Even if he manages to assemble Three Corpses, how to merge them together is a significant issue, and whether he can break through the barrier after merging is another major problem.

Nezha completely lacks these two issues. If truly pressured, he could directly use his accumulated Merit to instantly become a Saint, and that's no joke.

This is also why Nezha remains so composed.

Don't even bother asking what if Merit isn't enough; if worst comes to worst, you could always borrow some!

Both sides, after a minor exchange of blows, formed a mutual understanding that it's unnecessary to fight desperately.

Nezha did not want to waste energy tussling pointlessly with this guy, and Yin Zhuo King did not want to fight Nezha only to let Hao Tian take advantage.

Both had their concerns, and the scene calmed down momentarily. All the Immortals watching the two silent figures thought they had entered some deeper level of contest and held their breaths to carefully observe.

Hoping to perceive some secret and gain insight.

After a moment of silence, both realized the other had apprehensions about fighting, yet neither wanted to lose face — one in front of underlings, and the other in front of a goddess.

Nezha considered and said, "You have some skills indeed, so I assume you're not an unknown entity."

Yin Zhuo King naturally replied, "Hmph, I am Yin Zhuo King!"

Nezha's mouth twitched. What's there to be proud about? Does that title really sound appealing? With that attire, one might mistake you for coming from the Magic Fairy Castle!

"So, Yin Zhuo King it is; you demon possess some skill, and considering that cultivation is not easy, why not make a wager?"

Nezha took out the Kunlun Mirror. After infusing it with mana and using the treasure to construct layers in the void, before long, a dazzling crystal appeared before All Immortals.

The crystal sparkled under the sunlight, and when the sunlight shone inside, it seemed as if countless crystalline surfaces were layered and arranged together with a sense of opulent beauty.

"This item is called the Wanhua Mirror, a spatial construction I made. As long as you enter it without using brute force, and come out within three days, then I lose, and the position of Heavenly Emperor, which you desire, will be yours."

"If you lose, then you must honestly go to the South Heavenly Gate, shout three times that you are wrong, and then retreat, how about it?"

Yin Zhuo King squinted his eyes, using his Dharma Eye to examine the gigantic crystal above, attempting to discern its nature, only to find it was a maze-like space, with nothing else discernible.

"Ziwei, do you think that just by relying on such a trivial tactic, you can trap me, Yin Zhuo King?"

Ignoring Yin Zhuo King's provocation, Nezha said expressionlessly, "If you are not afraid, then immediately shout three times you're wrong, and I'll spare you today."

Since Yin Zhuo King dared to come, Nezha figured he must make his intentions clear, for now, the Heavenly Court was under his protection.

Yin Zhuo King, of course, refused to concede nor intended to confront Nezha head-on. Laughing several times, he said, "Fine, I accept your wager, you'd better start planning what to do in the future!"

Seeing Yin Zhuo King agree, Nezha waved and summoned a few Powerful Warriors to bring over a censer, into which they inserted three sticks of incense.

Understanding Nezha's intention, Yin Zhuo King investigated the incense and ignited it with a wave of his sleeve, turning and charging into the Wanhua Mirror.

One, he didn't believe he could be trapped in such a small space for three days unable to escape, and two, this space didn't seem particularly formidable in his eyes; if he really wanted to leave, the Wanhua Mirror couldn't stop him.

Nezha, seeing Yin Zhuo King enter, relaxed, assigning two Star Lords to keep watch; others tidied up and prepared to return to their respective homes.

This Yin Zhuo King, without relying on brute force, probably couldn't escape; the Wanhua Mirror represents the culmination of all Nezha's comprehension of Space Dao.

Internally, it consists of 9,999 layers, overlaying 89,991 spaces. Once Yin Zhuo King enters, he'll face nine random Space Gates on each level.

Only by choosing the correct gate among the nine can he progress to the next layer. Upon passing the second layer, nine random Space Gates will appear again.

Once again, choosing the only correct gate will allow passage to the next level; otherwise, selecting incorrectly will return him to the first layer, repeating the cycle.

In other words, on each level, Yin Zhuo King has a one-ninth chance of advancing to the next layer; otherwise, he'll return to the starting point. To clear the Wanhua Mirror, he must correctly choose the Space Gate consecutively 9,999 times.

For him to make it out is genuinely difficult.

Nezha wrapped up his affairs and headed home, continuing to enjoy the Jade Emperor's delights by listening to little tunes, while the Queen Mother, briefly glancing at the Wanhua Mirror, decided not to bother and returned to the Turquoise Pool.

The other Immortals studied around the Wanhua Mirror for a while but couldn't discern anything substantial, eventually dispersing in groups of three or five.

They did gain considerably, having experienced two spectacular battles and getting a scoop on the antics of Hao Tian, the Queen Mother, and Yin Zhuo King – definitely worth the trip.

Even Yang Jian, who had been heavily wounded and left earlier, had a satisfying match with his uncle.

Regardless, it marked the conclusion of the farcical rebellion plot supposedly involving Your Majesty.

...

Inside the Wanhua Mirror, Yin Zhuo King sped through the interior spaces, all of which appeared identical, quickly passing through one of the nine Space Gates, only to find a Stele next to him.

The front of the Stele even thoughtfully displayed the rules of the Wanhua Mirror, while the back projected the burning incense timing countdown outside.

After running past ten thousand times in just a couple of hours, Yin Zhuo King's fists clenched tightly. Unable to resist any longer, he swung his fist and shattered the Stele into pieces.

This spatial maze, could it really have been devised by a human?

Having run over ten thousand times and making it a maximum of just over three thousand levels, only to be reset to the start the next minute and begin again!

Do you understand how excruciatingly painful this is?

Yet, having cultivated to the present, Yin Zhuo King remained resilient in his will, charging again into the Space Gate.

...

On the other hand, Nezha, although no longer focusing on Yin Zhuo King, still issued edicts deploying some to locate Hao Tian's whereabouts.

Previously excused himself as going to face tribulations, now that Yin Zhuo King has emerged, there's no need for further concealment.

Hao Tian's lost, go find him and you'll be heavily rewarded; of course, the reward is provided by Hao Tian, Nezha had nothing to do with it.

The order was given, but All Gods were not too enthusiastic; let Hao Tian wander where he pleases. Would his presence mean they could eat two more bowls of rice?

Appointed by Nezha as the captain of the special rescue operation for Hao Tian, the famous Divine General of the Heavenly Court, the Immortal of Colossal Spirit, also wasn't too eager.

He felt more at ease under the command of Emperor Ziwei.

Hao Tian? He's not really familiar with him.
