If the Mirror God perishes during the Heavenly Tribulation, then he will be completely helpless.
After calling out repeatedly for a long time without any response, Xiao Wenbing couldn't help but feel uneasy. He frowned and said softly, "This Mirror God can't be that useless, can it? It can't even be killed by a bolt of lightning. What kind of divine artifact is it?"
Volume 4, Chapter 130: Supernatural Abilities Equal to Divine Power
------------------------
"What?" A gloomy voice suddenly sounded from behind him.
Xiao Wenbing felt a chill run down his spine. He suddenly lunged forward, leaping a few steps, and then somersaulted halfway up the wall. In mid-air, he turned his head and saw a dark mass wriggling where he had just been standing.
What kind of monster is this? Xiao Wenbing's mind raced as he tried to pull out a few Fiery Talismans from his Heavenly Void Ring for self-defense.
However, as soon as his divine sense entered, he let out a surprised cry.
The Heavenly Void Ring... wait, why is there nothing there?
He then realized that in order to deal with the heavenly lightning just now, he had not only used up his Xuanwu Shield, but also used up all the natal golden talisman and blazing fire talisman he had prepared in advance.
These things are my only assets; once I lose them, I'll be all alone.
To put it bluntly, he was penniless at the moment, with only a life-saving golden talisman bestowed by the White Crane Ancestor to save face.
Just as he was considering whether to take out the thing to scare people, the dark shadow in front of him gradually lengthened and turned into a human shape.
What is this? Xiao Wenbing looked at it with increasing curiosity. It was pitch black. Was it some kind of Indian?
Xiao Wenbing opened his mouth wide and stared wide-eyed in a very unseemly manner. Although he couldn't recognize who this black-faced humanoid was for the moment, the voice was very familiar to him.
Pointing at the black charcoal, Xiao Wenbing asked in surprise, "You are... the Mirror God?"
"nonsense."
Xiao Wenbing was taken aback. The voice was indeed that of the Mirror God, but why did it sound like there was a hint of anger and embarrassment about it...?
Scratching his scalp, Xiao Wenbing asked curiously, "But...but why did you turn black?"
"Struck by lightning," Mirror God said through gritted teeth.
"By...lightning?" A half-smile appeared on Xiao Wenbing's face. In the end, it was still his own doing.
"What do you want? Speak quickly," the Mirror God asked impatiently. And rightly so. It would be strange if it could still be smiling after encountering Xiao Wenbing, the culprit.
"Hehe..." Xiao Wenbing chuckled, his eyes darting around before he immediately flattered, "I knew it. You are the great King of Divine Artifacts. Not to mention a mere Five Thunder Tribulation, even the Nine Heavens Thunderfire Tribulation wouldn't be a trivial matter to you."
The Mirror God snorted, clearly quite pleased. However, it immediately turned its head and angrily rebuked, "I am a noble auxiliary artifact, not one of those barbaric creatures that fight and kill. If you use your scales to resist the heavenly tribulation again, I will hide inside and not come out."
"Yes, yes, yes..." Xiao Wenbing nodded vigorously, looking humble and eager to learn. He immediately made a promise to the Mirror God, guaranteeing that he would never use it to ward off disasters again except for unavoidable reasons.
Then, before the Mirror God could even grasp the true meaning of those words, he immediately said, "Great Mirror God, there is something I would like to ask you. You are so knowledgeable, you must surely know the answer."
"explain."
Have you ever heard of the Heavenly Thunder Palace?
"No," the Mirror God said decisively.
"No...no?" Xiao Wenbing's hopes were instantly extinguished by half. Clinging to his last glimmer of hope, he asked, "Then do you know about the Lightning Summoning Technique?"
"Lightning Summoning Technique?" The Mirror God's voice carried a hint of surprise, as if the question had indeed taken it by surprise.
“Exactly.” Xiao Wenbing’s eyes lit up; it seemed there was hope.
"The art of summoning lightning is the work of gods. Not only in your realm, but even in the Immortal Realm, it's impossible." The Mirror God asked curiously, "Why are you asking this?"
"Really," Xiao Wenbing exclaimed in astonishment, "The methods of a god? Does Feng Baiyi seem like a god? Someone who is a level above even immortals?"
"Nonsense, would I, the Mirror God, ever lie?" the Mirror God replied with dissatisfaction, feeling a hint of anger at Xiao Wenbing's questioning.
“But…” Xiao Wenbing frowned and briefly recounted what had just happened, naturally omitting some things that shouldn’t have been mentioned.
"Ah, I understand now. That person must be an extremely rare lightning attribute user. I never imagined that such a person would exist in this realm." The Mirror God thought for a moment and finally confirmed.
"Is lightning rare?"
“In your realm, it’s practically nonexistent,” the Mirror God sighed. “Only in the realm of gods can you occasionally see one or two.”
"The realm of gods?" Xiao Wenbing was immediately filled with longing. Just hearing the name, he knew it must be a wonderful place. He just didn't know when he would be able to go up and take a look.
“When heavenly lightning strikes, it inevitably causes harm. Your friend must be lacking in cultivation, so even though it was only the Five Thunder Tribulation, it has already injured him.”
Xiao Wenbing was startled and quickly asked, "Is it dangerous?"
"Since it is a body of lightning, it's just a matter of suffering for a few more days; it doesn't matter if it takes your life."
Xiao Wenbing breathed a sigh of relief, then asked, "Is there any way to save them?"
"Of course."
Please give me your guidance.
"Actually, for people with a lightning-type body, the lightning of the heavenly tribulation is actually a great tonic. If we just draw it away, it would be too wasteful. Why don't you refine a lightning-gathering needle for him and let him send the heavenly lightning in his body into the lightning-gathering needle, and then gradually refine it in the future? Wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?"
Xiao Wenbing was overjoyed and asked, "How long does it take to refine a lightning-gathering needle?"
"Look at the quality."
"A lightning rod capable of holding half of the energy of the Five Thunderbolts."
"About five hours."
"So short?" Xiao Wenbing asked suspiciously.
The Mirror God scoffed, “With the King of Earth Veins and the Butterfly Immortal Golden Pill as your aid, if you have all the materials, and you just want to forge a level five magic weapon, under my command, if you can’t forge it in five hours, wouldn’t that be too embarrassing?”
Xiao Wenbing readily agreed and took out a series of items from the Heavenly Void Ring.
It included a geomantic furnace gifted by HP, a large amount of spirit stones, and some rare materials.
Although these things were precious, Xiao Wenbing didn't care much about them.
Now that he has reached the Golden Core realm, not only has his spiritual power increased several times over, but more importantly, he can directly absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The power he wields is incomparable to that of a Core Formation cultivator. Similarly, his supernatural abilities have also increased significantly, making it not difficult for him to create these things.
However, after selecting, the Mirror God finally said, "One thing is missing."
"What?"
"Xuanyuan Wood".
After a long silence, Xiao Wenbing said seriously, "I'm sorry, I haven't heard of it. You must be mistaken."
"Mistaken?" The Mirror God was furious and said, "I am a god, understand? A god cannot make mistakes."
Xiao Wenbing shrugged and said, "Alright, I guess you're a god. So what do we do now?"
"What should we do?" The Mirror God chuckled and said, "Don't you have divine power? Then create some."
"What?" Xiao Wenbing jumped up suddenly, his voice even stuttering slightly: "You...you said...what?"
"Make one." Mirror God looked at Xiao Wenbing's strange expression with bewilderment, wondering what was wrong with him.
"You..." Xiao Wenbing hesitated again before finally asking, "How did you know I possess the ability to create something from nothing?"
"What do you mean by creating something from nothing? That's divine power, and an extremely rare kind of creative divine power at that." The Mirror God said disdainfully, "If you didn't possess this kind of divine power, how could you have woken me from my endless slumber?"
"God? Power?"
The Mirror God bent down with its illusory waist, looked down at Xiao Wenbing, and asked strangely, "You don't know?"
"Yes, I really don't know."
"Strange, where did you learn this divine power from?" The Mirror God's expression was quite amusing, and he asked for the first time.
"I don't know," Xiao Wenbing answered honestly.
"Don't know?" Mirror God's voice suddenly rose considerably.
Xiao Wenbing nodded repeatedly. Since the Mirror God already knew, there was no need for him to hide it anymore: "Yes, this ability of mine is innate."
"Born with it? Good heavens..." Mirror God suddenly covered his mouth, and there was something strange in his expression as he looked at him.
It was an imaginary object, yet it was made so realistically. Xiao Wenbing truly admired the person who created this divine artifact. However, after seeing this guy's performance, a question arose in his mind: "What do you know?"
"No, no, I don't know anything," Mirror God quickly and firmly replied.
Although I understand that this guy is definitely hiding something, I estimate that he is not capable of forcing the Mirror God to comply with his current abilities. Moreover, since we need his help now, we can't afford to offend him.
So Xiao Wenbing glared at it resentfully and asked, "What should we do now?"
The Mirror God frowned and pondered deeply. After a long while, he said, "I will simulate the Xuanyuan Wood. Use your divine sense to sense it. In theory, you should be able to create it."
"simulation!"
"Exactly, divine sense, come quickly."
Suddenly, the blurry pattern on the bronze mirror became clear. At the same time, the mirror god's body gradually merged into a ball, wriggled in space for a moment, and turned into something that was neither wood nor solid wood.
Xiao Wenbing carefully examined the thing. What was this thing?
Suddenly, a large mouth split open at the front of the object. Xiao Wenbing abruptly took several steps back, cautiously on guard. This gaping maw was not red, but a deep brown one, exuding a sense of danger and strangeness.

------------------------
"Write it down, you idiot."
Xiao Wenbing was taken aback. Wasn't that the voice of the Mirror God? But why had the Mirror God turned into something that was neither human nor ghost?
After pondering for a moment, he suddenly realized, pointed at the strange object, and asked, "Don't tell me this is Xuanyuan Wood?"
"Nonsense, hurry up." Mirror God said impatiently.
Xiao Wenbing looked at it strangely for a moment, then realized that it could work that way too.
