Xiao Yuhan was no exception. Although he knew it was an illusion and instinctively wouldn't fall into it, he figured it was better to search for traces in the illusion than to stay in that dark space doing nothing.
So he pretended that he had returned to reality, been discharged from the hospital, and went back to his old home, a home that was now empty, to continue working and studying. But the scenes in this illusion were still somewhat linked to his memories, and basically nothing had changed from what he remembered. Even the passersby were people he had seen before. Perhaps he couldn't remember them, but his brain did.
So even if it's still a world constructed within an illusion, it's based on his own knowledge, so he can never go to places he's never been or seen before. After staying in this illusion for decades, Xiao Yuhan discovered that he could train his soul by constantly restraining his desires and thoughts.
For decades, nothing has changed. Even if there have been changes, they are based on changes in one's own perception. For example, a room that has been burned should be a pile of ashes, and that's what the image should look like.
Finally, after countless years, he grew tired of it all and once again stood in the very center of the city. Originally, due to limitations in his understanding, he was unable to use the methods of a cultivator in this once technologically advanced world, but today he stood atop the highest floor, activating his lightning magic.
Just as the nurse who looked exactly like his junior sister said, he was the king in the illusion. When he saw through this, he found it boring and used a lightning spell to turn the illusionary world into ashes.
This time, the world did not restart. When he opened his eyes, he was back in the Heavenly Sword Sect. He woke up in his own bed, and Bai Yao, the little girl, had already prepared the meal not far away.
In a daze, Xiao Yuhan felt as if she had returned to the real world. After some conversation, Bai Yao explained that it was Senior Brother Liu Jiantang who saved her, and that Liu Jiantang had also resolved the matter in Beiyuan.
Indeed, this makes sense. Senior Brother Liu Jiantang entered the Dao through the sword, so he might be able to resolve the matters of Beiyuan. Xiao Yuhan firmly believed this in his mind. However, since experiencing the illusion last time, he gradually stopped believing what he saw and heard, even though the tranquility at this moment was what he liked the most.
But Xiao Yuhan could no longer calm himself down, because every time he stayed in this world, the real Bai Yao faced more danger. He ran out of the house. This illusion was more real than before. Perhaps it was because the memories were closer, so even many details could be clearly constructed.
He saw Liu Jiantang and Ye Qingyun again, and everything was so perfect that he couldn't detect the slightest clue.
I dare not say anything else, but the only thing I am sure of is that this illusion is even more powerful. It is as if Lin Yuan, who designed this environment, wanted to use this method to gradually lure me into falling into its trap.
Lin Yuan wasn't afraid that Xiao Yuhan would know it was an illusion; what he wanted was to use the long years within the illusion to gradually wear down Xiao Yuhan's resolve.
Xiao Yuhan dared not relax and was extremely careful. However, he did not know that he had already fallen into the trap when he came to this Heavenly Sword Sect illusion from the previous illusion.
If he didn't yearn to see these people, such a scene wouldn't have appeared in his mind.
During the first illusion, Xiao Yuhan still had a clear sense of self. He knew that he was in the Northern Plains and that the only person he could rely on was his junior sister. Only his junior sister could possibly save him now.
So the junior sister appeared, but this was still an illusion set up by Lin Yuan. As the plot unfolded day after day for decades, he subconsciously began to look forward to new illusions and to seeing new people.
Thus, he fell into a deeper level of illusion. In the end, he had only lived in this world for about ten years, but his spirit had spent one or two hundred years in the illusion. In particular, he spent the first hundred years in that endless darkness, and his heart had undergone great changes.
If he hadn't still firmly believed it was an illusion, he probably would have been completely trapped in it, since who can really tell what's real and what's fake?
