Chapter 24: Illusion (Starting with inverted v) “Master, I see you…
Hearing this, Xie Wuyang turned his head to look at Yun Wanzhou's expression, and met his ruthless and dull eyes.
Yun Xianzun looks so unkind and would never put himself in danger for anyone.
But for some reason, when Xie Wuyang thought of the tornado stopping and Yun Wanzhou holding him tightly in his arms, he subconsciously felt that this time, Yun Wanzhou would also help him.
Am I crazy?
Xie Wuyang was shocked and quickly threw away this unrealistic idea.
Yun Wanzhou must have used some magic on him and bewitched him!
As soon as Xu Pingsheng finished speaking, the surroundings returned to silence, with only the occasional sound of wind blowing in the desert.
Yun Wanzhou lowered his head and concentrated, wondering what he was thinking about.
Just as Xu Pingsheng's eyes dimmed, Yun Wanzhou said, "Recall the scene in detail again."
After hearing this, Xu Pingsheng nodded quickly, walked around the two of them, stood on the open space where the Emperor's Sky Tree would grow five hundred years later, and described the scene at that time in detail.
When Xu Pingsheng and Liu Yuqin came here, this place was not yet so desolate.
The spiritual herbs in the Blue Sky Sea have not withered yet, and the lake level is only slightly lower than usual. Although the number of poisonous insects is not large, there are still some living creatures.
The spiritual power of the barrier was so strong at that time that even before Xu Pingsheng and the others got close to the cliff, they could feel the strange fluctuations of spiritual power.
Xu Pingsheng also suspected that this abnormality was related to the Nightmare Stone. After discussing with Liu Yuqin, he finally decided to go down the cliff to check.
Xu Pingsheng said, "The barrier is located beneath the Azure Sea. I've cast a spell to detect it, and the Azure Sea's spiritual energy must have been absorbed by something within the barrier. I don't know what it is, specifically."
The more Xu Pingsheng spoke, the more he blamed himself. When he mentioned Liu Yuqin, his shoulders even trembled, leaving Xie Wuyang stunned.
As a notorious demon in the world of cultivation, Xie Wuyang always keeps to himself. Even in the demon world, he doesn't have any close friends. The only thing that accompanies him every day is the monument without words.
The friendship between fellow students was what he could least understand and empathize with.
Whenever Xie Wuyang saw the living disciples of the Immortal Sect struggling for the souls of those who died in the war, he would always sneer at them.
He felt that the people of the Immortal Sect were hypocritical and pretentious. There were thousands of people in an Immortal Sect, and there were so many disciples who shared the same friendship with their fellow disciples. How could they have so much affection for them? What they did on the surface was just to protect the false reputation of their fellow disciples.
Xie Wuyang was very puzzled by Xu Pingsheng's behavior. He could only suppress his doubts and wait for Yun Wanzhou's response.
After hearing this, Yun Wanzhou thought for a moment and said, "I'll go with you to take a look."
Xu Pingsheng quickly agreed, "Thank you, uncle!"
A long sword passed by Xie Wuyang's ear, Xu Pingsheng leaped up and followed Yun Wanzhou down on the sword.
Before Xie Wuyang could come to his senses, a stream of energy suddenly flew out from under the cliff, wrapped around Xie Wuyang and dragged him down.
It’s Xu Pingsheng.
Compared to Yun Wanzhou's flying sword, Xu Pingsheng pursued stability more. When Xie Wuyang stood on it, he even had the illusion of standing on flat ground.
When the two people fell to the bottom of the cliff, Yun Wanzhou was observing the barrier in front of him without even looking back.
The sword under his feet automatically returned to its sheath the moment it hit the ground, and obediently became one of the jade tassels on Xu Pingsheng's waist.
Xie Wuyang didn't stay with Xu Pingsheng for long. As soon as he landed on the ground, he ran to Yun Wanzhou and followed Yun Wanzhou to observe every part of the barrier.
Yun Wanzhou: "Did Liu Yuqin do anything else after she reached the bottom of the cliff?"
Xu Pingsheng shook his head. "No, my junior sister and I came down at the same time, and she got closer to the barrier before me."
Yun Wanzhou nodded and said to himself, "That should be correct."
Xie Wuyang tilted his head, "Master, did you discover anything?"
Yun Wanzhou stood up straight and faced Xu Pingsheng. "This isn't a barrier. It's probably an illusion created by obsession."
Ancient books record that no one is perfect and most people have desires and greed. After death, the souls of those who are obsessed with greed will linger and create dreams, which is why it is an illusion.
Xu Pingsheng frowned, took a step forward and placed his hand on the barrier, "Illusion? Then why was only Junior Sister Liu there?"
"The spiritual power in the Blue Sky Sea is stronger than other places. With an endless supply of spiritual power, the illusion created there will naturally be stronger." Xie Wuyang said calmly.
"How did you know this, brother?" Xu Pingsheng asked in surprise.
Xie Wuyang raised his eyes slightly and uttered the excuse he had used countless times, "I read it from the book in the Sutra Library."
The Sutra Repository holds tens of thousands of books, and Xu Pingsheng hasn't read every one of them, so when he heard this, he didn't think much of it.
Only Yun Wanzhou glanced at Xie Wuyang indifferently, which made Xie Wuyang feel a chill in his heart. He swallowed guiltily and looked elsewhere.
Fortunately, Yun Wanzhou didn't seem to notice anything and quickly turned his thoughts to the illusion.
"In order to protect their beautiful dreams from being destroyed, the things in the illusion created a barrier for themselves while absorbing spiritual energy to create dreams."
Yun Wanzhou said, taking two steps back to stand behind Xu Pingsheng. "Xu Pingsheng, draw your sword and obey my command."
Xu Pingsheng immediately understood and summoned the long sword Feng Ling.
The hilt of the sword is like a red flame and the blade is like a mirror.
Yun Wanzhou spoke calmly and calmly, "Hold your breath and concentrate your mind. Focus on your Dantian, and the universe will turn upside down. Nothing can stand in your way."
As Yun Wanzhou spoke, spiritual power surrounded Xu Pingsheng.
"Swing the sword and cut!"
Everything breaks through the air.
The collision of spiritual power made a loud noise, and Xie Wuyang covered his ears.
This sword move was the same one Yun Wanzhou used when he was at the edge of the Blue Sea, and it looked very majestic.
But Xu Pingsheng was a junior after all, and his spiritual power was not as strong as Yun Wanzhou's. The power of this sword did not have the effect of breaking through the air like Yun Wanzhou's.
However, it did eventually create a crack the size of a person in the screen protecting the illusion.
Xu Pingsheng had never thought that he could unleash such power with a single sword strike. He excitedly approached Yun Wanzhou to ask for advice. "Uncle Master, what was that move you just taught me? Why haven't I seen it before?"
Yun Wanzhou walked around Xu Pingsheng without stopping, and entered the illusion, leaving behind two words coldly, "Nameless."
Xu Pingsheng's interest was not dampened at all. He followed Yun Wanzhou closely and asked him excitedly, "Wuming? That's a good name."
Yun Wanzhou said, "That's a move I created myself."
"Self-created?! Uncle-master's attainments in swordsmanship have reached such a high level. When I return to Cangqiong Mountain, I will definitely seek out Uncle-master's guidance."
Looking at Xu Pingsheng moving forward, Xie Wuyang raised his eyebrows.
He only thought that Yun Wanzhou had a cold personality, and all the acquaintances around him were as arrogant as Wu Hanfeng. He never thought that there was such a little nephew who loved swords.
In the illusion, there was white smoke everywhere, making it extremely difficult to identify the direction. The three people were walking side by side, but they didn't expect to go too far. When Xie Wuyang came to his senses, the two figures were no longer beside him.
The fog in this illusion is so thick that you can get lost if you’re not careful. It’s hard to tell a person from a ghost if the distance is more than a foot.
Searching for it this way is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Just as Xie Wuyang was pondering, a familiar voice sounded in his ears, "Go forward."
It’s Yun Wanzhou.
Surprise flashed in Xie Wuyang's eyes, and he looked towards his heart, "It turns out that the talisman that Master gave me is actually the Breath Transmission Spell."
The Breath Transmission Spell has similar effects to the Sound Transmission Note, but it has one more function than the Sound Transmission Note.
In addition to transmitting sound, this mantra can also enable the person casting the mantra to hear what the person being cursed hears and see what the person being cursed sees.
There are only a few people in the world who know how to use this spell. Xie Wuyang only got this spell by chance after he became the Demon Lord.
Yun Wanzhou hid somewhere in the fog and guided him. "It's too foggy here, be careful."
Xie Wuyang nodded, "Disciple understands."
Having said that, the fog was not something Xie Wuyang could control, and he almost hit the tree several times.
After walking for an unknown distance, Xie Wuyang finally saw Yun Wanzhou.
Yun Wanzhou was sitting under a tree, one leg bent in front of his chest and the other casually draped in front of him.
No one knew where Xu Pingsheng had gone, and Xie Wuyang had not seen him around.
"Master, I see you." Xie Wuyang stepped forward quickly.
As if hearing his voice, Yun Wanzhou turned to look at him and waved at him, "Come here."
Xie Wuyang looked around and asked, "Why don't you see Senior Brother Xu?"
Even when he walked up to Yun Wanzhou, Xie Wuyang still didn't get a response, so he raised his hand and waved it in front of Yun Wanzhou, trying to attract his attention. Then, his hand was grabbed by "Yun Wanzhou".
A strange feeling suddenly arose in Xie Wuyang's heart.
At the same time, Yun Wanzhou's voice came from his chest, "Where is it?"
The "Yun Wanzhou" in front of him did not move his lips, so it was impossible that he said that.
Xie Wuyang's eyes turned cold, and he tried to break free from the restraints of "Yun Wanzhou" with his arms.
A force suddenly tightened around his neck, like a rope or something, getting tighter and tighter. Xie Wuyang opened his mouth, his cheeks flushed, and struggled with his hands and feet.
There were flashes of white light in front of his eyes. Just before Xie Wuyang lost consciousness, a cold hand touched his neck. Then, Xie Wuyang's head tilted and he completely lost consciousness.
…
"Have you heard? The Demon Realm was defeated again this year! That coward, the Demon Lord, sent a letter of surrender to Cang Qiong Mountain before the battle even began, giving up..." The man in green raised two fingers and shook them, whispering mysteriously into the waiter's ear, "Two cities."
"Two?!" The waiter looked shocked.
Whether they understand or not, the customer is the god.
The man in green saw this reaction and became even more arrogant, as if he himself had recaptured the Demon Realm city. "Yes, two! If you ask me, our Immortal Sect is still the most powerful. Although the Demon Realm and the Immortal Sect share the same origin, they are just a group of cowardly beasts!"
"What did you say?" Xie Wuyang, who was sitting opposite, had a cold glint in his eyes.
For a moment, Xie Wuyang almost mistakenly thought that the person these two people were talking about was him.
After Xie Wuyang finished speaking, the waiter didn't even turn his head. He put the sweat towel on his shoulder, agreed with a smile, and turned around to go to the kitchen with the dishes.
The man in blue lowered his head and continued to pick up food.
Xie Wuyang didn't get a response for a long time, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and he found something wrong.
Not long ago, he was still fighting a desperate duel with "Yun Wanzhou". When he opened his eyes, he found himself in this restaurant. He sat at the table in a serious manner, listening to his tablemates talking about the heroic deeds of the immortals.
Xie Wuyang glanced calmly at the interior of the restaurant. It was a place where all kinds of people mixed together, with cultivators, common people, and demons all gathered here. It had two floors in total, and was just an ordinary place, nothing strange.
If there was anything wrong, it would probably be Xie Wuyang, who was in the restaurant as if no one was there.
