The Three-Life Mirror was not the Haotian Mirror. The Great Dao it represented was not the seamless oneness of "the reflection within the mirror is me, and the world outside the mirror is me," but rather "I am not me, nor is the reflection in the mirror me." In any case, there were more than enough classical texts left by the ancestors; any single matter could be argued from both positive and negative angles with historical precedent, lacking any single standard answer. This also corresponded to the principles of Yin and Yang generating one another and adapting to local circumstances.
Therefore, the Fuxie reflected within the Three-Life Mirror did not appear in its current shattered state, but in its complete form comprising the hilt, spine, tip, guard, blade, pommel, and sheath.
It was a divine sword that could not be clearly seen, yet it exhaled an endless, grim chilling light, carrying a murderous intent sufficient to shatter all worlds, overturn the firmament, and sink the vast continents. Its color resembled translucent cyan jade, radiating a bone-chilling silver glow, with pitch-black lines engraved with seven characters of Dao patterns upon it. Each character seemed like an abyss; a single glance was enough to plunge a true cultivator into eternal damnation.
