Chapter 349: Unequal Exchange The priestess smiled slightly, obviously...

The priestess smiled slightly, clearly pleased with his agreement, but she said in a rather sinister tone, "Can you make the decision for the Wei family? And can you agree on behalf of the Wen family?"

"Heh," Venerable Jiangli sneered, "The Wei family is naturally... a good nephew, what do you think?"

Of course he can make the decision, but this time he entered the Haizhou Secret Realm in order to help Wei Mubai find the Yuanhun Fruit.

This is his chance, and he really needs to decide!

Wei Mubai nodded, "Yes!"

Since he had entered someone else's territory, he should help out. As for finding the Yuanhun Fruit, he believed that as a priestess of the Mirage Clan and the ruler of this sea area, she must know something that they, the human cultivators, did not know.

This wave will not be a loss!

Venerable Jiangli had no doubt that he would agree. He looked at Wen Huaiyu. This was the future young master of the Wen family, so he naturally had the right to decide.

"I agree," Wen Huaiyu said in a deep voice. This was a matter of helping his elders, and he had no reason to refuse.

"Great!" The priestess took action immediately, injecting vigorous power into the green soil. The soil was gradually refined and turned into a touch of green, merging into the golden formation.

At first, the two forces repelled each other, and the gold and green were clearly separated.

The priestess increased the input of power, and strands of green stretched out like silk threads and penetrated into the gold, but were blocked back one by one.

Venerable Yunxiu, who was in enlightenment, had an inspiration. The golden magic circle kept changing, incorporating the green silk thread into it, forming a brand new formation.

At first, there were just one or two... discordant green lines in the golden formation.

But as the formation continued to change, the green color became more and more, and gradually merged with the gold to form a new formation.

This formation is not only a great illusion, but also endless and constantly evolving.

Let’s put it this way, when the illusory scene appears in the formation, it will slowly change according to the specific situation, just like the real world.

The rules are controlled by the person who controls the formation, and the person in the formation cannot perceive that there is something wrong with their environment. They may be deceived by the illusion and continue to sink in the illusion until their life is exhausted!

The greatest illusion is to be infinitely close to the real world, which will mislead perception, make it impossible to escape from it, and eventually die of old age in it.

Compared to the real world, this is only a matter of time!

If there is a Mahayana cultivator like Venerable Canglan who can control the magical power of time reversal to assist, it is very likely that a real world within an illusion can be created, trapping people completely inside and making it impossible to escape.

"What a powerful talent!" The priestess took a breath. Compared with the Mirage Machine, this was only a step away.

And perhaps because she is a human, she has a natural understanding of Taoism and has even incorporated some of the rules of heaven and earth into the formation.

This means that if you don’t understand your own heart thoroughly, it is difficult to detect that something is wrong through external things.

It's so terrifying!

She couldn't help but feel fortunate that the person who had gained the insight was Venerable Yunxiu, and not someone with malicious intentions.

Only she can achieve this level because of her special physique.

The ten-thousand-year alliance between their Mirage Clan and the Wen Family will not be broken because of the breakthrough of Venerable Yunxiu. Currently, the two sides cooperate in a friendly and mutually beneficial manner.

Otherwise, if others relied on such a powerful illusion array to harm the Mirage Clan, they might not be able to deal with it.

However, the priestess was too early to rejoice. If she looked back, she would see Wei Mubai's clear eyes and Xu Hui's thoughtful look.

Obviously they all understood it, and not only did they understand it, but they also had a deep understanding of it.

Wei Mubai has a deep understanding of formations, and this knowledge will not disappear just because he has lost his memory. When he sees the formation diagram, he can perform it without even thinking.

Venerable Yunxiu's performance was a great inspiration to him. If his soul had not been severely damaged, he would have been able to express his insights on the spot and draw a new formation diagram.

It's just that his current soul and spiritual power can't support it, so he just learned and memorized it silently without taking any other action.

And Xu Hui, because of her "Analysis of Taoism", unconsciously practiced her skills and analyzed the entire formation diagram.

Originally, she couldn't do this with her strength, but her half-unicorn body made it effortless for her, even easier than the ever-changing and complex formation before.

But she is unable to use it at the moment. In a word, her soul is injured and her spiritual power is insufficient.

Casting such a powerful formation is a huge burden for her. If she is not careful, the backlash damage will be serious.

So she just watched, understanding but unable to perceive.

The priestess didn't know this. If she knew, she would definitely regret it and drive the person out before helping him.

Unfortunately, she never expected that the two weak juniors of the Wei family were actually masters of formations, so she missed the truth.

Fortunately, Xu Hui and Wei Mubai had no ill will towards the Mirage Clan, nor did they covet their treasures, otherwise the Mirage Clan would be in real danger.

Soon, the formation was fully developed. After expanding infinitely as if it was about to burst the entire bubble, it immediately condensed rapidly, and the lines decreased rapidly, and finally became a simple formation composed of eighty-one lines.

But no one dares to underestimate this formation. The truth is simple, and the simplest thing is actually the most difficult.

After the formation diagram was completely formed and could no longer change, it slowly condensed to the size of a fingernail and shot towards the eyebrows of Venerable Yunxiu, forming a circular pattern of interwoven gold and green lines, which was firmly imprinted between the eyebrows in the form of a pattern.

When Venerable Yunxiu has thoroughly understood the formation and can set up the formation as easily as Shenji, the pattern will slowly disappear.

Venerable Yunxiu opened his eyes and said, "Thank you for your help, Priestess. Just tell us what you want us to do."

The priestess nodded slightly, "Then I won't be polite. In fact, we, the Mirage Clan, are not as peaceful as we appear. The current tranquility is just an illusion, and we have no choice."

"What do you mean?" Venerable Yunxiu frowned slightly. The Mirage Clan has always been the most powerful race in the ocean. Apart from the accident caused by that earth-shaking change, no other major disasters have occurred.

This is completely different from human cultivators, demon cultivators, and the demon clan. They will encounter major disasters at any time.

Especially at the critical moment of world advancement, there will be various challenges from time to time, and there will always be world-destroying disasters.

On the human cultivation side, many people are affected at every turn, which forces human cultivation to maintain the existing balance.

Because once their relationship breaks down, people will start fighting with themselves and wait for disaster to occur. Given human nature, they are likely to use the disaster to destroy the enemy rather than fight the enemy together.

Therefore, the demons in your heart cannot be released. Once the demons are formed, they must be eliminated, otherwise they will hurt others and yourself.

The human cultivators are relatively good. They handle things promptly and cooperate with each other, and they can always get through it smoothly, unlike the demon clan who are dragging their feet.

Each tribe of the demon clan acts independently, causing some disasters to become chronic diseases.

For example, the demonic insects seemed to be impossible to eradicate. They would appear from time to time and destroy an entire tribe.

Most of the monsters do not appear in their own tribes, so they do not care about the matter and will only deal with it when the harm is too great. As a result, insect eggs always appear, and they have become the public enemy unique to the monster world.

Natural disasters like this that can wipe out a whole clan have never ceased to occur in all walks of life. It can be said that one is defying fate and fighting against heaven in the face of suffering!

The only exception was the Mirage Clan. Apart from that shocking incident, they seemed to have never experienced the test of heavenly tribulation.

And that time, to put it bluntly, it was purely my own fault!

All races have their own reasons for existence. Those who arbitrarily change the body given by heaven will naturally be punished by heaven.

The priestess smiled bitterly, "Do you really think we are so unwise? Of course we know that it is wrong to do so, but for the sake of the Mirage Clan's inheritance, we have to make changes. Otherwise, everything will be nothing but a dream, and the clan will be destroyed."

So serious?

Everyone looked at each other in surprise. They didn't expect it to be so serious. It turned out that the Mirage Clan was not without heavenly tribulation, but the heavenly tribulation had always been there, but they had been unable to pass the test.

"Is that a test?" the priestess murmured. "God forbids us from living!"

"What's going on?" Venerable Jiangli became serious.

As a clan in the world of cultivation, if the Mirage Clan were to be wiped out, it would definitely be a flaw in the world. With loopholes in the rules of heaven, it would be difficult to advance.

Then, as the creatures of this world, even if they all ascended, would they be willing to see their own world completely lose the hope of becoming part of the greater world?

After all, this is the place where they were born and raised!

"I don't know if you've noticed, but there's no sign of the Mirage Clan," the priestess said solemnly, restraining her expression.

Xu Hui glanced at the ground and saw no shadow. However, she said, "Even the light here is fake, so how can there be any shadow?"

It’s quite interesting to say that everything can be conjured up in the illusion, even the sun in the sky looks lifelike, but the only thing that cannot be conjured up is light. This is the light from real sunlight, not the visual illusion caused by the shadow formed by the contrast of light and shadow.

"We did this on purpose," the priestess said quietly. "We didn't want the Mirage Clan's greatest secret to be discovered, so we created a realm that blends reality and illusion, making it impossible for anyone to tell the difference between us."

In fact, it doesn’t take that much trouble to create an island where mirages live. All you need to do is combine the island and the ground below. There’s no need for this extremely troublesome operation.

But they still did it, so as not to let anyone notice that their shadows were gone!

Yes, it’s not that the Mirage Clan has no shadows, but from the moment they are born, their shadows are separated from their bodies and trapped in the world of reflection.

There are also Mirage Clan there, and the shadow will grow together with the Mirage Clan cubs, but the shadow will not know that they are fake and they are just a reflection.

Until adulthood arrives, at the moment of adulthood, the cub and its shadow will awaken at the same time and know that they are missing a part.

Then they begin to fight and devour each other. If the original body wins, the shadow will merge into the original body and become a real mirage.

But if the original body loses, its power will be absorbed by the shadow, and it will continue to live in the reflection world.

"But that's just an illusion, not the real world," the priestess said with a wry smile. "Originally, the probability of a Mirage Clan cub surviving was 50%, which meant that half of the Mirage Clan would survive. But since when, this probability has been getting lower and lower, to the point where... only one in ten survives!"

"If this continues, our Mirage Clan will be wiped out sooner or later. The reflected world depends on the real world to survive. If the real Mirage Clan disappears, then in the end, the Mirage Clan will most likely become an existence that only appears in dreams, like a dream bubble, never truly existing!"

"This is the real reason why we transform our bodies! After the transformation, the ability to create illusions will be weakened, and the true body will be more real, and the power of the true body will be stronger."

In other words, use your innate magical powers to exchange for the clan's inheritance!
