Chapter 1789: Great Void Mirror
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“If something is really wrong with the Longevity Tribe, then there are even more reasons why they wouldn’t speak out easily like that, especially to the point of making a fake video to frame me and saying that I blackmailed them. This lie can be exposed too easily. If I attended the meeting myself and confronted them, their lie would be exposed directly, which would be equivalent to them revealing their identity as spies.”
“Although there’s nothing to like about the Longevity Tribe, I don’t really believe that their entire tribe belongs to the Black Abyss,” Lin Huang provided his own hypothesis.
“If what you said is the truth and that someone is framing the Longevity Tribe on purpose, then it’d be even harder to get to the bottom of things.” Xia Bing frowned slightly.
“So what happened after you guys argued? What else did they talk about?” Lin Huang continued to ask.
“Later on, those few people from the Longevity Tribe and I were asked to leave the meeting room. Before they find out whether something is wrong with White Brow, we can no longer participate in future meetings,” Xia Bing said while looking annoyed.
“There’s nothing… wrong with handling it this way,” Lin Huang mumbled softly.
However, as soon as he said those words, he saw Xia Bing glaring angrily at him in the projection.
He explained immediately, “What I meant is that they’re being pretty fair.”
Xia Bing harrumphed. “I’m clean anyway, so I’m not afraid of them. Let them go ahead and investigate me!”
Lin Huang fell into silence for a long time, after which he could not help but ask, “How can they investigate? Are they going to trigger the Abyssal energy by reading their memories?”
“You’re overthinking things. How is it possible that such a method exists?!” Xia Bing shook her head and explained in all seriousness,” Star Cluster’s Star Masters went over to summon the Great Void Mirror.”
“The Great Void Mirror treasure?” Lin Huang was stunned when he heard the name. He retrieved the related memories within the Origin Energy fragments from the Nirvana Trees. “This thing really exists?!”
Legend had it that the Great Void Mirror was a treasure that contained terrifying power.

Lin Huang had always thought that it was only a legend. Never had he thought that it really existed.
“The Great Void Mirror has always existed, but it has been in hibernation during this era.” Xia Bing nodded. “Only Dominators who surpass heavenly dao-level can use this treasure normally. It’d be too taxing for a heavenly dao-level powerhouse to use it by force. Not only that, the treasure will enter hibernation after each usage.”
“What’s the function of the Great Void Mirror? Can it tell the truth?” Lin Huang asked rather curiously.
“The Great Void Mirror’s innate function is to study all things. To put it simply, it can see the nature of all substances. Not only that, its probing range extends to anywhere in the entire universe, including all of the great worlds, mini worlds, gravel worlds, ancillary dimensions and planes within the universe.
“It will fail to study things under three conditions. The first is if its target is a dominator-level powerhouse. The second would be the target has a barrier-type treasure of the same level. The third would be that the target is in a dominator-level powerhouse’s Kingdom.”
“Star Cluster would definitely not only investigate me and the people from the Longevity Tribe when using the Great Void Mirror. They will probably investigate you too. I think you definitely can’t hide your identity any longer.”
Xia Bing gave a simple explanation of the uses of the Great Void Mirror and reminded Lin Huang about what was likely to happen as well.
Lin Huang raised his brows slightly beneath his mask.

In reality, judging by what Xia Bing said, he was not exactly worried that his real identity would be exposed. The reason being was that the God Weapons in his body were treasures as well.
Especially that Soul Weapon, blocking God’s soul was just one of its basic functions.
He did not think that the Great Void Mirror’s probing could penetrate the barrier effect of the Soul Weapon in his body.
Naturally, he could not say that to Xia Bing. He merely fell into a period of momentary silence before speaking again, “If they can investigate me, then there’s nothing that I can do. However, if they do find out my real identity, they’d find out that I’m not a member of the Black Abyss.”

“The entire Eastern Eight Zone is in chaos right now. All the organizations are overwhelmed now. Even if they really found out your identity, as long as you’re not associated with the Black Abyss, nobody will have the time to stir up trouble with you,” Xia Bing comforted him.
“Indeed, the regular members of the seven organizations are busy. However, if my real identity is exposed to the Black Abyss or the Raiders, it’s only a matter of time before they come looking for me,” Lin Huang voiced his concern after hearing what Xia Bing had said.
She thought for a moment and soon spoke again, “I’ll speak to the Star Master later. If they really find out your identity, they won’t expose it. As long as they confirm that there’s nothing wrong with your status, there’s no need to reveal your information to other people.”
“Thanks,” Lin Huang thanked her with a nod.
The two of them chatted for a little bit more and ended the video call after scheduling another call a week later to learn about how the situation would develop.
…
Three days later, four Star Masters, three male and one female, gathered at the Stargazing Pavilion.
The four of them locked eyes, and the lady in the black dress asked, “Are you guys ready?”
The three men nodded slightly.
“Then let’s act as planned. I’ll stand guard and the three of you will summon the Great Void Mirror.”
The lady appeared above the Stargazing Pavilion’s rooftop in a flash directly as soon as she was done speaking. She waved and set up a starlight barrier to envelop the entire Stargazing Pavilion within.
Almost at the same time she moved, the three men sat with their legs crossed and performed several complicated hand seals.
At that moment, the entire Stargazing Pavilion seemed to have fallen into a magical state. It began to shimmer, appearing partly hidden and partly visible at the same time.
A moment later, the Stargazing Pavilion that was some 1,000 meters tall suddenly vanished into thin air.
The female Star Master was the only person remaining, as she hovered in the air with her eyes somewhat closed. She seemed to not find the situation strange at all.
Meanwhile, the vanished Stargazing Pavilion appeared in a dazzling sky full of stars in another dimension.
The Star Cluster’s three Star Masters sat in a triangle at the center of the first floor of the Stargazing Pavilion. They had completed their hand seals.
A quaint bronze mirror formed slowly mid-air between the three Star Masters.
The three of them then transferred Odylic Force to the bronze mirror through the air.
About half an hour later, the bronze mirror had finally consolidated completely.
A voice as loud as a bell spread throughout the entire Stargazing Pavilion.
“Tell me, who or what do you want to find out to have woken me up this time?”
Among the three Star Masters, the one who was the most muscular spoke first, “Senior Great Void, there’s an organization called the Black Abyss that appeared in our Eastern Eight Zone recently. They seem to be Aza’s followers. They planted many spies within all of the organizations in the Eastern Eight Zone. We’d like to ask you to check on a few people to see if they’re spies or not.”
“Who are they?” The bell-like voice did not seem to bother asking for further details and went straight to the heart of the matter.
Another Star Master said nothing, but projected images of Xia Bing, the patriarch and the few deputy patriarchs from the Longevity Tribe, as well as the remaining leaders from the seven organizations. The last image who was projected was Lin Huang in his mask and white robe.
Merely a moment later, a white light shone on Lin Huang’s image projection. The bell-like voice spoke in a rather upset manner, “I cannot find out who this person is.”
The three Star Masters were stunned when they heard that, and they could tell from the Great Void Mirror’s tone that it was upset. Nevertheless, they dared not ask why it could not find out Lin Huang’s identity.
About two to three minutes later, three glaring red gleams shone on three projections.
A gush of faint black mist gradually appeared on the top of their heads.
“The three of them have high-grade Abyssal energy remaining in their bodies.”
After saying that, the bronze mirror that was hovering in the air faded away rapidly.

Sword System Academia
2/17 NOTICE: I'm putting this on hiatus, possibly permanently. I didn't want to spam with an "update chapter", so hopefully here and in the story blurb will get enough eyeballs. There are a couple reasons for ending SSA for now. 1) I wrote the next chapter but wasn't happy with it. I've been less and less satisfied with SSA's quality the more I thought about it. Part of the reason is... 2) I am seriously thinking about trying to publish some novels to help pay the bills, since I don't have my other source of income anymore. I have never asked for anything from SSA readers, no money, not even a review or rating. SSA is written for fun to amuse myself, primarily, and I would kind of feel bad actually charging someone money for something as unserious as that. I don't think it is good enough to ask anything in return. To use an analogy from music, SSA is more like a jam session with a bunch of friends. You're just chiling and having fun playing some music. I mean, if you are Mozart or even Eminem, your jam session is good enough to sell, but for an amateur beginner like myself, haha, no. If I want to publish something, I feel like I need to go the proper route of practice and rehearsals, which might be more similar to a classical concert performance. With SSA, I work from worldbuilding notes and a loose outline, but what you are essentially getting is the first draft with lots of so-called pantsing. Pushing out a web novel like this also means it is very difficult to go back and improve things without breaking everything else downstream. I wanted to try this "jamming" approach, as it was a good way to teach me about another aspect of writing, but to move forward, I think I need to hone my "classical" techniques, which emphasize rewriting, or at least, revising outlines. 3) While I intend to try to make $$$, my actual current goal is to "get gud". I've spent a lot of time recently trying to understand the self-publishing industry, and I'm pretty sure I can make some money by using short-term strategies with my current amateur skill level. But I've seen too many authors come and go/burnout, and really, the only way that I think I can enjoy writing and still make money on a long-term basis is to become a better writer. And the next step for me, which I haven't done much before, is to spend more time on rewriting and outlines. That is pretty much antithetical to the way SSA is developing. I've always been kind of 20/80 plotting/pantsing, but I want to spend a lot more time outlining before I even start writing. SSA jam sessions don't really fit my goal anymore. If you're curious about what's next, read on... Among other regrets, I regret not finishing SSA. It's the first story I've dropped, but then again, it's the first web novel I've attempted, so I suppose that's not a surprise. I don't think traditional web novel formats suit me that well. The whole SSA story I had loosely planned (beyond a first book or major arc) is way too large as well. Big story = good for neverending webnovel with Patreons, bad for penniless and fickle writer like me. I am currently outlining a complete trilogy to another story in great detail. I want the story to end concisely, and I also want the chance to really spend a lot of time on the full outline to spot pacing problems, character issues, lost themes, and so on. I'll still share this story on RR. What I intend to do is finish book 1, flash-publish the whole thing here for a few weeks, then publish on the big Zon. Repeat for books 2 and 3. The upcoming story will be about crafting heroes. The backdrop is an isekai-like setting, where elves will summon humans to their world as heroes, but the whole hero crafting business is still in its infancy. The elven mage researchers are figuring out how to imbue heroes with power, while the heroes are trying to figure out how to use the powers that they gain. Humans are the best hero templates because they are blank and have no intrinsic magic. Or at least that what the elves thought. The human MC has his own secrets... There will be some similarities with litrpgs, but I would call it more a progression fantasy or gamelit story. For example, the stats are very low, at least initially. Say we have a stat called Str. Going from Str = 1 to Str = 2 is a huge deal. Also, going from Dex = 0 to Dex = 1 is an even bigger deal. I guess you could call it a "low-stat litrpg", haha. Also, the heroes won't be gaining stats simply by killing things or leveling up. You can't increase stats arbitrarily, either. There will be rules to how stats can increase, and how they work with each other. The elven mages will be figuring out these rules in order to craft stronger and stronger heroes. Some inspiration will be from cultivation magic systems, but there won't be overt cultivation, at least for now. A theme I really want to explore is the idea of interactions. That includes things like hero crafter vs hero, tactics vs strategy, skill synergies, racial interactions (dwarves, elves, etc), and son. Yeah, so hero crafting. I'm super excited about this project and venturing into publishing. If you want to check out the upcoming story, you can follow my RR author profile to see when it drops here. Finally... THANK YOU TO EVERYONE! I'm very sorry that SSA is stopping, but I hope at least some of you will find the next story at least as enjoyable, if not more. Thanks to all the readers who gave SSA a shot. Big hug or solid fistbump to all of you, whichever you prefer! I hope this message is not a downer but an upper, because I am psyched!! -purlcray -------------- BLURB: Talen, youngest Master of the Koroi, makes his way to the Empire's capital to salvage his clan's fate. But the bustling city has few opportunities for the traditionalist. For the old sword clans are fading. With the rise of alchemy, gold can purchase strength that ordinarily took years of training to cultivate. Sword artists, once rare and accomplished, are quickly growing in number, especially among the wealthy noble class. Even with such alchemy, though, no one has advanced to the rank of Grandmaster in countless years. Talen's true dream is to walk the path of a sword artist to the very end while fulfilling his clan duties. And then the Swordgeists return, fabled founders of all sword arts, gods who had touched the world long ago and vanished. These myths turned into reality warn of a coming threat. Alongside this warning, they issue an invitation to the Sword System Academy, a path to power beyond the mortal realm. But first, they will hold an entrance exam... Story notes:Sword System Academia blends elements of western and asian fantasy such as xianxia and litrpg. I took parts from different genres I enjoyed and twisted them into my own creation. There will be an explicit system, both of the litrpg kind and the hard(ish) magic kind, but it is embedded within an academic structure that will develop over the course of the story. This is my attempt to design a unique type of system, the System Academia.
