More and more dark clouds gathered, covering the village completely. It was as if Gemglass Village had been plunged into darkness, a stark contrast to its perfectly bright surroundings. Upon seeing this, the villagers stopped polishing their mirrors and cracked a few yawns, heading inside to get some rest. The people in the Eternal Sunshine Dimension followed the regular lifestyle of working after sunrise and resting after sunset. The only difference was that their sky was still bright after the sun had set. The Nightfall Well in Gemglass Village was able to create the illusion of nighttime, something that was considered a phenomenal sight in the Eternal Sunshine Dimension. Wilbur sat on a nearby rock, watching the Nightfall Well quietly. He waited until the entire village was silent before walking up to the well, leaning over to look down at the water. Under the faint rays of light hidden between the dark clouds, Wilbur could see his reflection in the water. Everything looked no
In the next second, the young man leaped out of the well. With a powerful stomp on the ground, a dark aura spread out beneath his feet in all directions as he looked at Wilbur. "I dare you to come in with me." "Sure." Wilbur accepted the challenge and entered the young man's domain at once. It was a dark domain, and the two of them were the only people there. They stared at each other for a while before the young man used his mind to form a large bronze mirror. "This is a special mirror. Do you dare to enter the world beyond it?" "I'll try anything once." The young man smirked. "Very well. Come with me, then." He then walked into the mirror, and Wilbur followed after him. White light flashed through the air, and Wilbur found himself in a utopia of sorts. The young man glanced at him, saying, "Come with me." Wilbur flew behind the young man, who shifted his appearance to be clad in long white robes as they made their way towards a small island in the middle of a lake. Wi
The young man looked into the distance as he recounted. "Those people went by the following names: Gary Chance, Fez Sullard, Cody Wentz, and Kevin Jenkins. All four of them committed a murder, but no one else knew about it. Gary was the most evil out of the four of them. One day, while Gary was selling his mirrors in Grindstone Town, he met and fell for the wife of Walter Colt, an antique dealer. Colt's wife, Holly Summers, was also a fickle woman herself who was almost never loyal to her husband. She saw that Gary was interested in her and began sneaking him sultry glances here and there to seduce him. The two of them hooked up, and eventually, Gary came up with a plan to make Holly his own. Holly was only with Walter for his money and wanted him dead a long time ago so she could ride off into the sunset with his money and a man she actually loved. Yet Holly could not bring herself to do such a thing on her own and thus teamed up with Gary to plot against Walter. In the end, G
"Gary had pretended to say yes, but he no longer trusted women anymore. After the four men were done with Wendy, Gary had Chad strangle Wendy with a rope. Tammy was forced to watch her mother's murder with her own eyes, bawling her head off the whole time. Seeing that, Gary told Kevin to strangle Tammy as well. Just like that, the Sanders family lost their lives at the hands of Gary and his friends. Mister Sanders and his family were buried on Cockrow Hill, after which the four men fled." Wilbur frowned upon hearing this. "That's what those four bastards did?" The young man sighed. "You can't judge a book by its cover. Gary and his friends would never look like the type to commit such a heinous deed, but that's exactly what they did. That night, Gary saw Walter in the well. He slipped and fell into the water out of fear. Fez and the others saw the Sanders family in the well and ended up suffering the same fate. Yes, I killed them, but they deserved to die for their actions." Wi
"Maybe in the future, you might even surpass me in terms of power. When that happens, the mirror dimension you create could have a time speed of a thousand times faster than the outside world." "Oh…" Wilbur's face flushed upon hearing the words. "Isn't that a little inappropriate? You and Jade love each other, Mister No-Night. I'd be willing to wait another hundred years even if you didn't give me the bronze mirror. I respect you a lot… and I don't want to take advantage of you." "You're not taking advantage. I just feel like we met under pretty interesting circumstances. The bronze mirror might be lonely after I'm gone, you know? It might be good for you to carry it along with you on your cultivating journey." "I see. Well, I won't turn it down anymore, then." Wilbur took the mirror from No-Night, who leaned into his ear to whisper the spell to cultivate the mirror. He then pointed at a tower by a river, saying, "You can stay here for the next hundred years while you cultiva
Wilbur attempted to channel the power of light in his body into the mirror before using the Light Gloves to absorb the surrounding energy. Within just ten seconds, the tower Wilbur was in began to rumble violently. All of a sudden, a figure burst into Wilbur's room. No-Night glowered at Wilbur, shouting, "What do you think you're doing?" Wilbur scrambled to stop at once, and the tower stopped rumbling as well. He stared at No-Night, asking in a nervous tone, "I was trying to see if I could wield the mirror…" No-Night said, "Wilbur, you should know by now that this is a world forged out of energy aura. So no, you can't absorb the energy here or the whole mirror dimension will be destroyed. Even if that doesn't happen, the speed of time here might be affected as well." No-Night shook his head as he spoke, staring at Wilbur solemnly. "I can't lose Jade anymore, not even for a single day." "I understand, Senior No-Night. I promise not to absorb the energy here anymore." "I hope
Wilbur was pale in the face as he gasped, "Don't get too cocky. If I was able to break through the second seal, it means I'm able to wield all twenty percent of the dark energy." "Let's hope so," the Dark Lord mumbled in annoyance. Just then, No-Night's cries could be heard in the distance, "Jade! Jade!" … A powerful wave of energy rippled over. The tower Wilbur was sitting in shattered under its pressure, causing him to widen his eyes in shock as he flew toward the lake. Wilbur landed to see No-Night sitting in the middle of the debris, cradling a lifeless Jade in his arms. His black hair was completely white now, and he looked beside himself with grief. Tears rolled down his face as he muttered Jade's name over and over again. Wilbur's chest ached at the sight, but he knew that this had been Jade's fate from the start. "Miss Jade has passed on, Senior No-Night. Take care of yourself." No-Night turned to look at Wilbur, his voice oddly calm all of a sudden as he said, "I
Babbit's gaze flashed coldly. "You should know that whatever energy aura you're getting here is only a portion of what's in the Azure Dragon Lake, Wilbur. If you join the Reyne family, I promise you the best treatment on top of the chance to cultivate in the Azure Dragon Lake with Felix and me." "What?" Wilbur was shocked to hear his offer. Babbit was right. The energy aura in Planter Lake was only a fraction of that in the Azure Dragon Lake. If Wilbur really did get a chance to cultivate in the Azure Dragon Lake, he would be able to improve his cultivation much more quickly. But was this a sincere deal, or not? The Reyne family was the most powerful out of the Eight Great Families. Was Babbit, the head of this family, really willing to share such all that energy aura with him? Wilbur found it hard to believe and was hesitating when Babbit barked out a laugh. "What's the matter? Are you scared to come back with me? I'm sure you know that I'm more than capable of flattening y
