Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

The next moment, she was dancing gracefully, her lithe body flickering and weaving through the gaps between the silver beams. The silver light fell, merging into the altar.

But more silver beams were already on their way.

All Pretty Girl could do was to fully unleash her Spiritual Power, bringing into play her nascent skill in the Heavenly Mechanism Dance. She tightly clutched the Destiny Stone in her hand, continuously weaving through the silver beams that could slash her body apart.

Perhaps being hit by the silver beams wouldn\'t actually result in being sliced to death, but failing the legacy assessment was a very likely outcome. Before entering, the Peacock Great Demon King had told her that there was only one chance for the assessment, and the challenges faced during the assessment would vary based on one\'s Cultivation base. She was currently in the Eighth Stage, not yet advanced to the Ninth Stage, which was the perfect timing for the assessment. This was because her Heavenly Mechanism Dance was already somewhat mastered. As for whether she could truly pass, it was up to her.

Under this immense pressure, the Heavenly Mechanism Dance seemed to be reaching a state of completion. Pretty Girl\'s dance was getting faster and faster, continuously shuttling through the increasingly intricate spatial cracks, and the silver light beneath her feet grew more intense. The intensifying silver hue cast her figure in an ever more dazzling and eye-catching light.

Gradually, Pretty Girl began to falter. First was the drain on her Spiritual Power; she had to fully expand it to find those hairbreadth gaps. However, the relentless spatial cuts were battering her Spiritual Power, depleting it rapidly. Then her body began to lag behind the directions of her mind due to exhaustion.

Yet the surrounding spatial cracks continued to multiply, showing no signs of abating. She didn\'t even know how many attacks she had evaded. But since the onslaught of the spatial rifts hadn\'t ceased, it meant she hadn\'t passed the trial yet! All she could do was to grit her teeth and persist.

However, the attacks were truly terrifying; she was so careless that even strands of her hair had been cut. That tangible sensation made her feel as if the God of Death was about to descend upon her, sending shivers down her spine and jolting her back to heightened alertness.

But the limit of her body was approaching, and no matter how hard she tried, how much she stimulated her potential, the fear of death came upon her once again.

Just then, in her other hand, the distorted light flickered subtly. Those spatial cracks that had been speeding toward her suddenly slowed down.

In that moment, the silver spatial cracks appeared so dense and distinct, as if they were shredding the entire world into pieces.

With the slowed pace, Pretty Girl for the first time clearly saw the nature of the entities she had been dodging. The altar beneath her feet was mostly lit up, but at this moment, the cracks in the air were at their densest.

Moving in the dance of Heavenly Mechanism, stepping in miraculous rhythm, she shuttled through the spatial cracks that seemed to be slicing the entire world apart. With the speed greatly reduced, even though the cracks were so dense, she found it much easier to manage.

In her hand, a crystal-clear Crystal Mirror shimmered with an enchanting glow. A gentle halo flowed around it, emitting a soft luster that slowed everything in its vicinity.

If there is a force in this world that can influence the existence of space, it would likely be time. As a power equally shrouded in mystery as space, they have always been capable of affecting one another.

The Crystal Mirror was indeed a token from the Crystal Great Demon Emperor, and what was branded within it was the Time Variation Seal that Tang San had decided to imprint upon it after deep contemplation. Only time could affect space, according to the judgment of a Godking. At this moment, as Pretty Girl faced the greatest danger, it exerted a tremendous effect.

Silent silver threads quietly imprinted themselves upon the altar beneath her feet, causing the light from the altar to grow increasingly radiant. The dazzling splendor filled the surrounding space with strange fluctuations.

The Time Variation Seal did not last for very long, but it was already enough for Pretty Girl. As the densest spatial cracks swept past, what remained were but scattered spatial fluctuations. She took advantage of the slowed time to catch her breath, readjust her state, and dance once more.

The brief slow motion previously allowed her a whole new understanding of the Heavenly Mechanism Dance, her body wreathed in silver light, pulling at space.

It was at this moment she realized that the Heavenly Mechanism Dance was not just for dodging, but could actively guide. Led by the wondrous spatial fluctuations that came with the dance, those dense spatial cracks that were impossible to avoid somehow started to organize themselves, changing direction in response to her guidance, allowing her to evade in turn.

Without that change in time, perhaps she would have needed a long time to discover its secrets, but at that moment, she had already mastered them.

Finally, when the last thread of silver light quietly swept past and integrated into the ground, into the altar, completing the last piece of the puzzle under the active guidance of Pretty Girl\'s Heavenly Mechanism Dance. The whole world seemed to turn silver in an instant.

In Pretty Girl\'s vision, everything was filled with brilliant silver light, and at that moment, it was as if she had traversed countless spaces.

Feeling light, once again with a solid sensation beneath her feet, she found that she had reappeared in the original cave.

But at this moment, the cave was no longer dark. A gigantic silver peacock appeared before her, its resplendent feathers unfurled behind it, its eyes seemingly brimming with mirth.

The next instant, every feather\'s eye on the peacock shone with dazzling silver light, illuminating Pretty Girl, cleansing her body.

A Peacock Golden Crown quietly emerged on Pretty Girl\'s forehead, but as it was bathed in the silver light, the originally golden crown began transforming toward a platinum color. She herself seemed to bathe in the river of space, undergoing a wondrous transformation.

In her consciousness, she felt as if she had become a silver-white peacock, her form merging with the large peacock before her, intermingling with each other. It was as if she was dancing gracefully throughout the entire world, guiding the Heavenly Mechanism, and transforming it into her own spatial realm.

The marvelous experience lasted for a long time, so long that she lost track of time. But when she regained her senses, everything seemed exceptionally beautiful. She could clearly feel every minute spatial change in the world. Not far in front of her, a resplendent feather drifted quietly, its entirety presenting a platinum color while emitting a blue halo, the three eyes on the feather as if harboring three spaces within.

The Heavenly Mechanism Feather, the token of the Peacock Demon Clan and their true divine tool. Pretty Girl had once possessed it before, but the Heavenly Mechanism Feather at this moment seemed somewhat different. It radiated a soft light and felt exceedingly affable to her, as though it itself was a feather from Pretty Girl\'s own body.

Raising her hand, she made a light gesture toward it, and the Heavenly Mechanism Feather silently flew towards her, joyfully dancing around her body. It trailed brilliant glimmers of light from the eyes on the feather, and in those faint traces, she seemed to glimpse the distant future.
