Chapter 350: Everyone in the Reflection World looked at each other. They didn’t expect that it was really…

Everyone looked at each other, they didn't expect the truth to be like this!

"Then what do you want us to help you with?" Venerable Yunxiu asked seriously. Since it concerns the inheritance of a family, it is definitely not a trivial matter!

The priestess's expression was solemn, her tone firm. "Currently, there are 3,700 of our Mirage Clan members approaching adulthood. Their transformed bodies are more realistic, but their talents are weaker. However, the chances of their original bodies winning are still slowly decreasing. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, only around 1,800 of them will survive in the real world... less than a 50% chance."

"In the past, we'd have those with the highest talent and highest illusion skills sneak into the Reflection World and tamper with the cubs' shadows, weakening them and slowing their growth to ensure victory. But this method is becoming less and less effective, and the number of cubs surviving is dwindling."

"Furthermore, the rulers there actually believe that the Mirage Clan, a race that wanders between reality and illusion, has become a true dream race, forever parasitizing the dream world. This isn't necessarily a bad thing; it's actually a different kind of immortality."

"If they could find a way to connect the Reflected World with the dreams of each race, they could sustain the Dream World and survive here forever. They wouldn't have to die like us when we reach old age."

"So gradually, they stopped us from messing with the cub Shadow and even helped Shadow grow stronger. That way, they would have a constant supply of new power to fill that dream world!"

"But have they ever considered that if the Mirage Clan is completely wiped out, no new Mirage Clan will appear, and only those old monsters hiding in their dreams will remain. Does that make sense?"

The priestess' tone was extremely angry. "They only think about themselves and don't consider the tribe at all. Is living by dependence what they want?"

"Well, humans can't control their dreams, and neither can monks," Xu Hui was shocked.

Isn’t this a battle of the Tao?

If the Mirage Clan and its shadow are considered as one ethnic group, then after they split, they formed two routes.

A choice that is real may have a limited lifespan, but it is also continuous and can be passed down through the clan.

One chose to remain in the void, and in order to survive forever, he gave up the so-called tribe and focused on himself.

Xu Hui was astonished. It turns out there is such a thing as the Dream Clan. This broadens her horizons!

But what she didn't understand was, "Can't you just coexist peacefully? With a 50-50 chance, everyone can survive, right? Why drain the pond to catch all the fish?"

The priestess's breath hitched, "We are doing this because the number of real cubs has decreased..."

"No, it's because you wanted to keep more cubs, so you took the initiative to make moves, and were discovered by the Reflection World. So they increased their absorption of cubs, which broke the balance," Wei Mubai retorted bluntly.

No matter how helpless the priestess said, she could not hide the fact that it was they themselves, not the reflected world, who broke the balance.

There is no need to do this in the reflection world. It makes no difference to them whether there are more or fewer shadow cubs. I believe that all that is needed to support the link is a small number of powerful shadows.

After all, the dreams of various ethnic groups are continuous and endless, so it is not difficult to connect them.

But the shadow world also needs cubs to grow up so that they can replace and support the reflected world, instead of the world collapsing. They are completely trapped in the dreams of various races, and then they are really completely trapped, without any freedom at all.

The power of shadows is needed to maintain the connection, so they need a new generation. However, the actions of the Mirage Clan will undoubtedly make them lose their current stable life and future longevity.

The priestess murmured, "But we also want to retain more talented descendants to explore the path to ascension. What's wrong with that?"

At first, they really just wanted to keep a few cubs with extraordinary talents so that they could transform into dragons and ascend to heaven like Senior Shen Ao did, so as to give back to the Shen clan.

The ascension of Senior Shen Ao gave them a vague sense of a way out, but no matter what they did, they could not understand that level. They thought that if there were a few more examples like this, perhaps they would understand.

But it is so difficult to change one's fate. Except for Shen Ao, no one can succeed!

So they went astray and tried to transform their bodies so that they could be closer to humans and possess human understanding.

But it completely broke the balance, causing more and more cubs to turn into shadows, so many that... it seemed as if the heavens also recognized the Mirage Clan as the Dream Clan!

But the Mirage Clan is unwilling to accept this. They no longer want to ascend to heaven. They just want to preserve the Mirage Clan's heritage and not become rootless duckweed.

"What do you want us to do?" Venerable Yunxiu was silent for a moment and asked.

"I want you to enter the reflection world, carve out the formation, and differentiate the cubs back to their original state of balance," the priestess said firmly.

"How do we enter the reflection world?" Venerable Yunxiu frowned slightly. For a major event like this involving the fate of the Mirage Clan cubs, it was not easy to carve a formation. How to make it fair and not let both sides lose balance was a very difficult task.

If it were her previous self, she would have refused without hesitation, because she couldn't do it and couldn't bear the consequences.

But the realization she just had made her understanding of the formation more than a thousand times deeper, and she even vaguely knew what to do.

Differentiating lives is not absolute fairness, but a test of conscience.

Test a young Mirage Clan member to see whether he is willing to live in the real world or become an illusory and permanent existence.

Letting them choose their own lives is the most reasonable and least causal approach.

Originally, they relied on the natural constitution of the Mirage Clan, but now, because of the changes in their constitution, they need to examine their conscience.

With enlightenment, Venerable Yunxiu did not refuse outright, but considered it carefully.

"You have the Mirage Light Condensed Marrow of Senior Mirage Ji, so you can definitely enter. She is the strongest in illusion, and she can also bring in other people who possess the Mirage Light Condensed Marrow." The priestess said expectantly.

Venerable Yunxiu did not agree immediately, but said, "I will think about it. If I agree, I will have to arrange other things. You can go back first, and I will give you an answer in two days."

"Good!" The priestess was delighted. With a wave of her hand, a strange horn appeared before them. "This is the means of entry into the Dragon Territory. Actually, our sea area doesn't produce the Yuanhun Fruit. That spiritual fruit is only found in the Dragon Territory. Before Senior Shen Ao ascended to heaven, he separated his own realm and left it as a gift to us, the younger generation. It contains all kinds of natural treasures, and the Yuanhun Fruit is one of them. I allow you to enter and pick as much as you want, but you are not allowed to damage the environment. You must also leave seedlings so that they can reproduce."

Several people looked at each other. They didn't expect that the news about the Yuanhun Fruit would be so easy to obtain, but the priestess's request was difficult to achieve, and they needed to think about it carefully.

Venerable Yunxiu reached out, took the dragon horn, and said goodbye to the priestess.

They returned to Venerable Yunxiu's temporary residence. As soon as they entered, the two venerables set up barriers to protect the place so that it was watertight and no sound could be heard.

"How is it? Have you found any problems?" asked Venerable Jiangli.

Venerable Yunxiu nodded slightly, "She has been plotting against us from the very beginning."

"In fact, she was targeting the girl Xu Hui. She has a very special physique and is loved by the essence of Ren water. She can go almost anywhere in the ocean world, so she secretly released the Mirage Light Condensed Marrow of Mirage Ji. However, she didn't expect that Xu Hui was so popular, and the cub directly gave her the Mirage Light Condensed Marrow of Mirage Ao," said Venerable Jiang Li.

Venerable Yunxiu pondered, "With Shen Ao's Mirage Essence, as long as we search carefully, we should be able to find Senior Shen Ao's Dragon Domain."

"That's right. That's why she didn't dare threaten us, but instead offered bribes. Only Xu Hui could enter the Mirage Marrow, but the Dragon Domain has countless treasures. She figured we wouldn't be willing to give it up."

"Then are you willing to give up?" Venerable Yunxiu glanced at Xu Hui. She was not the same as the Wei family, even if she was still Wei Mubai's fiancée!

"Of course not!" Venerable Jiang Li smiled slightly. "This is such a good opportunity. I also want to go to the Reflection World to take a look. I think it will be very interesting."

"It's also very dangerous," Venerable Yunxiu glared at him. He was already an elder, but he was still so unstable.

"I know that Senior Shenji is definitely not dead. If my guess is correct, she has become the ruler of the Reflection World. At the same time, her illusion technique is so powerful that it has prevented other members of the Shen Clan from entering. They are unable to do anything, watching as more and more cubs turn into shadows. Finally, they can no longer bear it and seek help from outsiders like us."

That's why he was so excited when he discovered that Venerable Yunxiu could integrate and comprehend the Mirage Light Condensed Essence of Mirage Ji, because only Mirage Ji herself could enter the world sealed by her.

I guess the Mirage Clan must have put in a lot of effort to find this Mirage Light Marrow.

"Senior Shenji has existed for four thousand years. Needless to say, he is powerful. He can control everything in the reflection world. I may not be able to protect the younger generation if we go in. Why don't we go together?" Venerable Yunxiu glanced at Xu Hui and the other two and suggested.

Venerable Jiangli pondered, "Why not let them explore the Dragon Territory on their own?"

"No!" Wen Huaiyu was the first to object, "Second Elder, how can you set up the formation by yourself? You need my assistance to complete it quickly."

Venerable Yunxiu's eyebrows jumped, "With your level of formation skills, don't come out and embarrass yourself." She was still helping her, so she asked him how much he understood just now?

Wen Huaiyu choked. It was true that his ability to set up formations was not very good, and he knew nothing about the magical formation just now. However, it was unknown how long it would take for the Second Elder alone to set up such a huge formation of self-examination.

Staying in the reflection world for even a quarter of an hour is extremely dangerous.

Considering the current situation where the reflection world and the real world are at war to the death, if they sneak in and set up such a large formation, they will definitely be killed directly!

"100%!"

"100%!"

Xu Hui and Wei Mubai spoke in unison, looking at each other, seemingly not too surprised. At the same time, they turned to the two venerables who were looking at them in surprise, "We understand the formation and can help you set it up."

Three people can save three times the time!

Venerable Yunxiu was surprised. "You all understand?" Then he looked at Venerable Jiangli uncertainly. "Your youngster is so omnipotent? How did you train him?"

Wei Mubai was a sixth-rank alchemist at a young age, even on par with the other two. Xu Hui could actually see through the mystery of the combination of formations and restrictions at a glance.

And now they have seen through all her insights without showing any signs of betrayal. How can this not be shocking!
