Chapter 330: Imaginary Palace?
"Feng, welcome to the real world." Yu Cang said with a smile, "I thought your first words after coming to the real world would be more profound."
“…Sorry, I can’t think of any other words.”
"I'm just kidding." Yu Cang walked forward and patted Feng on the shoulder. "Welcome to the present world, Feng. My name is Yu Cang, and I'm happy to be your summoner."
A barely perceptible smile appeared on Feng's face.
"How does it feel?" Yu Cang asked, "Is there anything uncomfortable about using this body?"
"No... I feel better than I've ever felt."
Feng lowered his head and looked at his hands, his eyes lost in thought.
His hands were wrapped in bandages, and there was no familiar sword at his waist. His clothes looked familiar yet unfamiliar.
A thousand kinds of freedom in mind... This seemed to be his ability, but he didn't remember it very clearly.
This should be the ability he comprehended before he learned to use the sword. By now, this ability has long been integrated into his body and become a part of him.
Just as it is impossible for a person to isolate the function of a certain cell, for Feng, the use of this ability has become as natural as instinct, so natural that he has long forgotten what this ability is.
Seeing him again at this moment, he was indeed stunned for a moment.
However, compared to that... the feeling that made him tremble all over and unable to extricate himself was the real texture of the real world.
How long has it been since he has been in such close contact with the real world?
Ever since he realized that accepting a real name might dim his memory, he has never accepted a real name. He can only float through one world after another like a ghost, stopping only for a moment before being swept away by chaos.
This kind of real touch... maybe it's been thousands of years? Or even ten thousand years?
...It was a terrifyingly long time.
Inexplicable emotions were brewing in Feng's heart, but his face was very calm.
If... I were in a real body now.
He must have been in tears for a long time.
Such touching moments cannot be erased by time; instead, they will become more profound as time goes by.
"Feng?" Yu Cang looked at the silent Feng and asked with some concern, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Feng came back to his senses. "Sorry, Summoner, I may need to go back to Chaos first. I will definitely cooperate with any experiments related to me in the future."
"It's okay Feng, just go."
Nodding slightly, Feng turned around and turned into pieces, falling into the black shadow under his feet.
After Feng left, Yu Cangcai set his eyes on the soul card in his hand.
"As expected of Feng, this soul card... is very powerful." Yu Cang rubbed his chin.
In other summoning methods, the strength of soul cards can actually be judged by a simple and rough standard.
For example, Soul Cards with higher Star Ranks are generally stronger than Soul Cards with lower Star Ranks. The same is true for Link Cards: those with higher Anchor Points are stronger than those with lower Anchor Points. Of course, this also has something to do with the quality of the Soul Card that serves as the anchor.
However, the combat effectiveness of super cards cannot be judged simply by their power and status.
Because in essence, the power of the soul itself is used in battle by the super card, and the power position only represents the depth of the required authority.
Therefore, among the abilities of those with low power, there are also some very strong and practical abilities... In theory, as long as there is a suitable soul, even a third or fourth level soul card master may pose a threat to the country.
Of course, it's just a threat. If you want to win the battle, you can't rely on one or two abilities - leaving aside the abilities, the low-level souls summoned will definitely not be able to compete with the high-level summoned beasts in terms of panel. If they suddenly kill you, you will have no way to stop them.
Moreover, the disadvantages are also obvious - if you want to perform super summoning, you must first have souls that can be summoned, and those souls with powerful abilities, even if their abilities are low in power... As a novice soul card master, it is impossible for you to subdue them, let alone summon them.
Hmm...wait a minute.
Yu Cang realized one thing.
"It seems this is also a summoning method that the old guys like?"
If it becomes excessively popular, it is obvious that among the gifts that the old guys like to give to the younger generation, there must be a powerful soul of low status.
"Oh, so that's it..." Yu Cang rubbed his brows, feeling helpless.
It seems that this summoning method is likely to become a plaything in the hands of a powerful force...
Yu Cang originally planned to announce the excess before the winter vacation, but now it seems that he should wait.
Battles between soul card masters are relatively fair. Before level six, there won't be much difference in personal mental stress and soul energy well capacity, and the upper and lower limits of those top decks won't be too different either - even if you're poor, you can still perform well by buying a regular competitive deck. Unless the deck is completely restrained, you can still win.
But once the super quantity comes out, this status quo may be broken - it is hard to imagine how powerful a soul a big force can find for a junior by using all its resources.
Among the participants in the current college league, there are many strong players who do not have a good family background. Wen Ren Ge is an example.
But if he were to fight Wen Ren Ge again now, Yu Cang suspected that there was a high probability that he would be killed by Feng Qianban Zizai Xin.
This soul card is incredibly powerful...though the strength lies primarily in Kaede.
[Freedom] allows Maple to use all the abilities of its material, which seems to be unnecessary - if Maple is stacked on top of the Half-Dragon Hunter to summon, then the result is just a summoned beast with all the abilities of the Hunter, and at most the panel is a little stronger.
However, the difference between letting Yu Cang control the same Dragon Hunting Spear himself and letting Feng use it is huge.
Wen Ren Ge's abilities come at a heavy price, and all kinds of conflicts require him to distract himself and control them. This is fine when facing opponents of the same level, but facing Feng, he is simply a sitting duck.
Not to mention that Feng's appearance conditions are very simple - in fact, this is also a new attempt at the characteristics of super quantity.
Feng can summon any humanoid summoned beast by stacking it on top of it, which means that the star rank does not need to be 6. According to the theory of power and position, a star rank lower than 6 should not be enough to support Feng to exert his abilities.
But the reality is - you can.
This means that for some abilities, as long as conditions permit, the world will give him the right to use them. Feng's condition is naturally the material of a humanoid summoned beast.
In fact, satisfying the conditions should be the general way to obtain permissions, but these conditions are difficult to find and unstable. Now that Yu Cang has already developed the "Star Rank" system in advance, there is now a more versatile and convenient system.
…
chaos
Feng's figure returned to a piece of energy, in which the soul fire kept swaying. Obviously, Feng must be very excited at this moment.
Ye Lai stood beside him.
"How does it feel to go to the real world?" Ye Lai said.
"...I was almost forgetting this feeling." Feng shook his head. "I didn't expect that before I forgot who I was, I could feel the touch of the wind again."
A smile appeared on Ye Lai's face: "You'll get used to it."
"Yes." Feng nodded slightly, and then said, "According to the summoner's progress, it shouldn't take long to complete your super card."
“…” Ye Lai didn’t know how to respond.
"Are you wondering what kind of appearance you will show up in?"
"This is indeed very concerning." Ye Lai breathed a sigh of relief. "Feng, now I envy you a little. After being in the Chaos for so long, you can still remember your own name and your own appearance... As for me, even the master of this body probably won't be able to trace back to my original appearance."
After the words were spoken, the chaos fell into silence.
Feng didn’t know how to comfort him, so he could only stand with Ye Lai for a while.
Suddenly, a sound was heard from the surrounding energy tide, and the invisible energy spread out in ripples like water, from which a dark figure slowly flew out.
Ye Lai and Feng glanced at each other slightly.
This person... looks different.
If the soul in the chaos has the ability to use energy to condense its own body, the shape it creates will definitely have some color.
Although there is no vision in chaos and the soul's perception is very simple, but colors and other things, perception + imagination can be very close to the real world.
But the guy in front of him had a completely black body, without any color.
Ye Lai knew what this meant.
In the depths of chaos, there is a huge force composed of countless souls, called: the Imaginary Palace.
The "king" who rules over the Imaginary Palace possesses some kind of secret method that can help souls condense a stable and non-dispersible body in the chaos, thereby prolonging the lifespan of the souls and making them less likely to dissipate.
With this secret method and the "King's" powerful strength that surpasses mythology, the Imaginary Palace became the most powerful force in the chaos.
And this pitch-black body in front of us is the secret method from the Imaginary Palace.
Of course, it is also possible that the lonely ghost deliberately condensed this body to bully others, but that could not fool Ye Lai and Feng's eyes.
The soul in front of him was obviously a real member of the Imaginary Palace.
Ran Zhi broke through an energy tide and was stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.
Hmm… Two mythical souls, surrounded by a bunch of weak souls of all sizes…
Are these two people who want to create their own power?
Ran Zhi understood it in his heart, but didn't take it seriously.
Creating power in chaos is not that easy; in fact, it is extremely difficult.
Chaos energy is disordered and chaotic. The souls in it will be blown away in a short time and will never be able to find each other again. If you can't even gather your members together, how can you create a force?
Their "king" has an imaginary palace. Any soul that uses secret techniques can sense the direction of the imaginary palace in their hearts so that they won't get lost.
Without the Imaginary Palace, even if you are two myths, the best you can do is to ensure that you will not get lost.
Look at these souls you have gathered... I am embarrassed to say that they are too weak.
None of them have reached the legendary level, and even the epic level is rare... and there is also a small fry who died not long ago! (referring to Axel)
This guy is really not picky about the quality of his subordinates... He's a legend after all, can he fight for his dignity?
However, since it had nothing to do with Ran Zhi, he didn't think much of it. Putting aside other things, mythical souls generally still retained their rationality. It was truly fortunate to encounter a being with whom one could communicate in the chaos.
He then asked:
"Hello, respected Myths. I am Ran Zhi from the Imaginary Palace. May I ask you a question?"
Ye Lai nodded: "Okay."
"Thank you very much—" Ran Zhi bowed and then said, "Our king is looking for a scholar who possesses the power to open a passage from the Starry Sky Vision to Chaos. May I ask... have you two ever seen one?"
After he finished speaking, Feng's eyes fluctuated slightly.
Isn't this referring to...the summoner?
At the beginning, the summoner had just entered the Starry Sky Vision and directly opened the Chaos Channel to deal with a consciousness insect... It was because of this that he had the opportunity to return to the Starry Sky Vision.
So, the summoner actually caught the attention of the "kings" in those imaginary palaces...
Yes, it is not difficult to understand that opening a channel from the starry sky field of view is a shocking event.
This is equivalent to... opening a direct path between the Internet and outer space.
Not to mention the distance between these two places, they are not even in the same dimension. It is surprising that they can both open the door.
In the chaos, distances would become blurred. Feng didn't know how far the Imaginary Palace was from here, but even at such a long distance, the "king" could sense something, which showed that he was extremely powerful - the summoner couldn't take that risk.
As his thoughts raced, Feng couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise on his face. He asked:
"From the Starry Sky Vision...is this even possible?"
"What the king said himself must be true." Ran Zhi finished speaking, his tone filled with admiration. "When I heard this news, I was also shocked. It has been tens of thousands of years since I came to Chaos. I never thought that such a profound scholar would be born in the modern world..."
"I'm curious," Feng said, "What do you plan to do after you find this scholar?"
"I don't know either—the king's thoughts are not something we can guess." Ran Zhi shook his head. "However, the king came with good intentions. From the king's tone, he seems to have great respect for the scholar. I think he wants to invite him to the palace."
"I see... It's a pity that I don't know such an existence." Feng shook his head, feeling quite regretful.
"Don't you two have any clues?"
"No."
"Well, Ran Zhi thanks you. If you two have any news, please inform the Xushu Palace." Ran Zhi clasped his fists and said, "I won't talk too much. The king doesn't give me much time, so I have to speed up. I wish you two will grow stronger soon."
"Yeah." Feng didn't argue.
After Ranzhi left, Yelai blinked.
Only after confirming that Ran Zhi could no longer sense any sound from this place did he speak, "Feng... what did Ran Zhi mean by the master of this body?"
Ye Lai did not have the ability to enter the Starry Sky Vision, but he knew that Yu Cang had once opened a door in the chaos.
"……Yes."
"I don't know if anyone has ever told you that you're not a very good liar."
"It's okay, he didn't notice." Feng shook his head. "The Lord of the Imaginary Palace is incredibly powerful. If he truly harbors any ill intentions towards the Summoner, the two of us won't be able to protect the Summoner, so we must proceed with caution."
Ye Lai nodded: "Of course - but I still need to let the owner of this body know about this and see what he thinks."
"……Um."
…
Without saying goodbye to Ye Lai and Feng, Ran Zhi plunged headfirst into the chaotic energy.
What the king had said was that if they didn't find it before the scholar died, they would be buried with him.
A scholar’s life... this time can be long or short at the same time. They only have a general direction, which is still difficult given the vastness of chaos.
The most crucial point is that they don’t know how old this scholar is now. He is so knowledgeable, and what if he doesn’t have much time left... that would be bad.
So, don't waste any time.
Feng's behavior just now was indeed a little strange, but Ranzhi didn't think much about it and just thought it was because of the shock of hearing such news.
As long as he met the scholar, Ran Zhi was sure he could convince him.
After all, the Imaginary Palace has a bargaining chip that is extremely precious in all the worlds - eternal life.
It is eternity in the true sense, an eternity that will never fade with time, from the physical to the psychological!
Although the price is to become a shadow like him... However, this is chaos, even Huang's tentacles cannot reach here. Gaining eternal life here is true eternal life.
At least, except for the king himself taking back his eternal life, or being directly killed by the existence of the Fearless Illusionary Palace, Ran Zhi could not think of anything else that could cause his own demise.
Although... it is indeed lonely in chaos...
A trace of sadness flashed across Ranzhi's eyes.
Accepting the king's secret method means that you will never be able to return to the real world.
He actually also hopes to feel the touch of the real world again...
...Forget it, I don’t want to do that.
Everything has a price, and for the sake of eternal life, this is acceptable - Chaos is so vast, isn't it more fun than the real world?
Ranzhi deceived himself silently.
…
"What? The Imaginary Palace?" Yu Cang was stunned.
"That's right." Ye Lai nodded seriously. "It is the most powerful force in the entire Chaos. Its 'King' even possesses power beyond mythology and is the most ancient existence in the entire Chaos."
"What do they want from me?"
"I'm not sure... Judging from Ran Zhi's behavior, he doesn't seem to have any ill intentions, but it's hard to say." Ye Lai shook his head. "I don't recommend that you contact the Imaginary Palace right now."
Yu Cang rubbed his chin.
Imaginary Palace...
"What is the name of their king?"
"I don't know either."
…
"Yuanxu Eyutiannola."
A voice suddenly came.
"Huh?" Yu Cang was stunned. When he turned around, he saw Xingchen appeared beside him without knowing when. "What did you say?"
"I said, that 'king' is named: Yuanxu Ayutiannola!" said Xingchen.
"This surname..."
"Yes, he's the younger brother of the Empire's sixteenth ruler..." Stardust said. "That was hundreds of millions of years ago. In the current chaos... there's truly no being who can outlive him."
"Is that so?" Yu Cang asked with great interest. "If that's the case, then you should be very familiar with the Imaginary Palace, right?"
"That's not the case." Xingchen shook his head. "The empire has a long history, and there aren't many records of Yuanxu. Moreover... this history seems to involve some kind of secret. If I weren't the princess, I might not even know this name."
After all... Yuanxu's brother is the "Huanzhou".
The princess's full name is "Stardust·Universe·Eyutianola".
"The royal family does cooperate with the Imaginary Palace, but it's a one-way process. Due to the unique nature of Chaos, even the Empire has no way to delve deeper into it. Yuanxu hasn't revealed any more information about Chaos, other than to provide some assistance to the royal family."
"So... in your opinion, what kind of person is Yuan Xu? Is there any possibility of cooperation?" Yu Cang said.
"Cooperation should be possible." The princess' eyes showed a thoughtful look. "To be honest... Yuanxu may know the current state of the empire. So, I actually hope that you can go to the Xushu Palace - but it is indeed very dangerous, so it depends on your choice, Yu Cang."
"I understand." Yu Cang nodded.
Above the myth...
He doesn't even know if he can break through the myth now, let alone the illusory myth.
Even the invincible Chao Ci was just a myth back then. He needed to break through the eggshell and sacrifice a world before he could truly reach the level of myth.
As for Yu Cang...if he really wanted to, he could follow the emperor's wishes now, and wait until most of the people around him were dead, and then he would probably break through the myth, but that was obviously not what Yu Cang wanted.
I am still too far away from an existence like Yuanxu. Now, I should just focus on improving my own things.
"Speaking of which." Yu Cang looked at Ye Lai, "Since Yuanxu can build strength, can you and Feng do the same?"
"This... is difficult." Ye Lai looked troubled. "You know, in the chaos, souls can be easily blown away by energy..."
"Is it possible to build a place like the Imaginary Palace?"
"I'm not sure... but, in the current Chaos, there is only one Imaginary Palace."
"Okay." Yu Cang rubbed his brows.
It's really difficult.
Is it possible to make one using a word recorder?
Yu Cang fixed his eyes on the entry library and scanned through them one by one.
But the more he looked at it, the more an idea began to stir in his mind.
It’s bad… I want to contact the Imaginary Palace to see what’s going on.
According to Ye Lai, the sphere of influence of the Virtual Palace almost covers the entire Chaos, and it has countless members, and each of them is powerful.
If he could convince Yuanxu to dock the Imaginary Palace near the Blue Star World...
Then wouldn't all the members of the Imaginary Palace become Blue Star's Xyz Summoned Beasts? ! !
It is very stable and available on call, and there is no need to worry about being blown away by chaotic energy!
Damn, this is too tempting for Cang.
If the Imaginary Palace could really be parked next to Blue Star, then he would have no worries about publicly exceeding the limit... With so many souls, it would be no problem to assign one to each soul card master of Yan Country.
At that time, let them establish contracts with the souls in the Imaginary Palace based on their abilities. Whoever has higher talent will naturally be able to summon a stronger one.
What should I do? I’m really excited!
Thanks to Weihuohu nv for the reward!
