Rebirth Hall.

It is located above Magpie Bridge Immortal Mountain, a palace that contains nothing but the Ancient Treasure, the Rebirth Mirror, sealed within.

If one looks at the palace from a distance, it slightly resembles a heavenly palace, surrounded by swirling clouds and white columns forming beams. Numerous prohibitions and Formations with faintly visible Dao patterns are scattered around, emitting a majestic and ancient aura.

As Wang Mu and many Cultivators flew up, he always had a subtle feeling.

The so-called Ancient Treasures often have immense connections with this world, originating from ancient times.

Their mighty powers are also unimaginable.

Upon arrival, Wang Mu heard a commotion.

"Little monk, come on, what are you doing? This is the main event of the Magpie Bridge Festival. Why aren't you participating? Come over quickly!"

"Ah, don't be shy! What's all this talk about being a monk? Look, even that old dog Ku Chan from Shenle Temple is running over eagerly. You're a monk too, so hurry to the hall and take a look in the Rebirth Mirror…"

"Amitābha. Binding oneself to a Taoist couple is more confining than a prison… The allure of love is a great taboo in our Buddhist Sect… Benefactor, please don't drag me. I will not go. We Buddhist Practitioners of our Sect and those from Shenle Temple are not of the same origin; we cannot be spoken of in the same breath…"

"Then tell me, what if a Female Cultivator looks into the Rebirth Mirror and it reflects *you*, a man from the Dazang Buddha Sect, as her destined partner?"

"Impossible! Once we Buddhist Practitioners enter our Sect, we sever all ties with the Mortal World. It's impossible to have any worldly romantic fate…"

"We are Cultivators, not bound by mortal connections. Without mortal ties, there are still immortal ties, you know…"

"..."

As soon as Wang Mu arrived, he saw Hu Yu'er from Qingqiu Mountain in the distance, pestering and tugging at Jing Hai from the Dazang Buddha Sect.

Entering Rebirth Hall today to search for a Taoist couple was something many Cultivators eagerly anticipated.

However, several Cultivators from the Dazang Buddha Sect wished only to leave.

Creation Gate had not stipulated that everyone who came must take a turn before the Rebirth Mirror.

But, since they had already come… hardly anyone would pass up the chance to look into the Rebirth Mirror.

Ahem… right?

Wang Mu could somewhat understand this Jing Hai.

By comparison, the monks from Shenle Temple were more carefree; after all, they practiced the path of Joyful Zen.

Buddhist Practitioners were common in the Sky Sea Continent. The Dazang Buddha Sect was an offshoot of the Sky Sea Continent's ancient Buddhist Practitioners, with profound origins.

Later, they left the Sky Sea Continent for the Great Wilderness, pursuing the path of ascetic cultivation, and gained considerable renown there.

Of course, the Great Wilderness was actually home to even more formidable Body Cultivation Sects. The terrain there was complex and teeming with Fierce Beasts, making survival difficult; one could only engage in ascetic cultivation.

However, something Hu Yu'er said later left Wang Mu slightly puzzled…

"Everyone, seeking a Taoist couple is a matter of karmic destiny, fated and not to be forced," Xuanmingzi announced with a smile, flying into mid-air. "If someone does not wish to participate, forcing them will only bring harm and no benefit."

Hu Yu'er pouted and said, "Senior, then answer me this: some people don't want to force things, like this Jing Hai here. But what if a Female Cultivator looks into the Rebirth Mirror and it reflects *him*? How should such a situation be handled?"

Xuanmingzi, seeming to have anticipated this question, simply stroked his beard and said, "The Rebirth Mirror is an Ancient Treasure of Creation Gate. To date, all Cultivators reflected in it, even if they did not ultimately become Taoist couples, were inevitably entangled in some romantic destiny. If it truly reflects this Buddhist Practitioner...

"then it means he is fated to undergo this tribulation."

Jing Hai was suddenly taken aback.

Meaning, once reflected, there will inevitably be some entanglement thereafter.

"So your Ancient Treasure isn't accurate after all…" Hu Yu'er blinked.

"How can you say it's inaccurate?" Xuanmingzi countered. "All these romantic connections are generated by us individuals. It's already difficult enough to predict them. Furthermore, the karmic laws of heaven and earth are ever-changing; future events are like the Celestial Stars, never in the same position day after day."

"The romantic fate predicted by the Rebirth Mirror merely lights a lamp for you, illuminating the path. As for how you walk it, that still depends on the individual. The path is there, but our feet are our own. If you insist on turning back, or even cutting off your own feet and building a wall, then no one can help you."

"The karma of romantic fate is constantly changing. Your actions are the cause, and they will determine the fruit you reap."

This statement seemed pointed.

Xuanmingzi surveyed the crowd, his gaze lingering on Wang Mu for a moment.

?

Why are you looking at me? Wang Mu sensed this gaze.

Everyone seemed to have gained some understanding.

"So, little monk, did you hear that?" Hu Yu'er giggled. "This is a tribulation! Just go look into the Rebirth Mirror. If you go with the mindset of facing a tribulation instead of searching for a Taoist couple, wouldn't that work?"

Jing Hai thought for a moment and, surprisingly, found it somewhat reasonable.

"Then… I shall give it a try…"

"..." Wang Mu.

Facing the Rebirth Mirror, countless thoughts surged through everyone's mind.

Upon entering the grand hall, one saw at the very front a massive, slowly rotating mirror surface resembling an ancient seismoscope.

Flanking it were floating brackets covered in innumerable intricate patterns. Script-like runes, resembling tadpoles, drifted slowly around the mirror's surface, creating an impression of utter profundity.

"This is the Rebirth Mirror," Xuanmingzi declared, flying above its surface. He continued, offering some advice, "Before you gaze into it, allow this old one a few words of caution. After the reflection, regardless of your Taoist couple's appearance, aptitude, or background, do not be concerned. Your own potential, background, and various circumstances are already recorded within the Rebirth Mirror. The Married couple reflected by this Ancient Treasure is determined after it has calculated karmic destinies and causal trends through Zhou Tian principles, thus revealing a Married couple with whom you share a profound karmic connection."
