Chapter 26 Something is wrong!
Having prepared themselves mentally for the critical hits of the first two spirit mirrors, the young team leaders who were participating in the Dharma Cultivation Competition for the first time finally understood why the previous team leaders had stood at the back of the team without any interest.
——The closer you stand to the front to join in the fun, the faster others will watch you!
But at this point, adjusting the position again would be too obvious, so everyone could only come to the third spirit mirror together in order.
Sects that had already disgraced themselves secretly prayed that other sects had disciples who were even more disgraceful than their own. Sects that hadn't yet encountered such a situation prayed that their own disciples wouldn't suddenly go crazy at this moment...
On the podium, where there had been undercurrents among the team leaders, facing the third spirit mirror, they unexpectedly became harmonious with each other, each showing courtesy to the other.
"Fellow Daoist Chu Sheng, the He Huan Sect has the Daoist method of refining the mind in the mortal world. This kind of illusion must be easily achieved, right?"
"That's right, that's right. Why don't we take a look at the Hehuan Sect first..."
"Although the methods of refining the heart in the mortal world may not be what you think..." Chu Sheng said with amusement, observing their embarrassed expressions. "But since everyone says so, let's see."
The image on the third mirror slowly unfolded, showing a scene where the disciples beside the pond had their eyes closed, experiencing the illusion with different expressions.
"Where are the people? Where is the illusion? Why is it a live broadcast?"
Everyone with various thoughts blinked their eyes, a little confused.
"What does this mean?"
"Is this disciple's illusion the very scene of the ongoing competition... or is the spirit mirror pointing in the wrong direction?"
"No, there's nothing wrong with the spirit mirror. It's just that this disciple of the Hehuan Sect is very interesting!"
Someone with sharp eyes pointed at a figure in the corner of the mirror, who was climbing a tree with great effort.
"The test was already halfway through, why did she suddenly go up the tree?"
A bunch of heads finally found their way and quickly gathered around. "Climbing a tree? Who's climbing a tree? What is she doing climbing a tree?"
"But the Hehuan Sect's disciple really wasn't attracted by the illusion... Looking at the disciple's eyes, he seems completely clear-headed."
"Um, wait, what is she doing now???"
"Ahem... the baby is young and a little playful."
Chu Sheng glanced at the jade doll hanging on the tree, happily taking out handfuls of its precious spiritual insects. He coughed lightly and pretended to be unaware and looked away.
The kids have been worrying about their precious bugs in the yard these days and are almost suffocating. Today, Zhongnan Dao Zong has provided such a large competition venue. It should be okay to let a few little bugs come out and have some fun, right?
"Is this the Insect Control Cultivator that the Hehuan Sect accepted before?" Qi An was not misled by other people's words, but immediately recognized the identity of the jade doll.
When many disciples were not even clear about where the illusion came from, Yuwawa was able to keenly realize the source of the problem and find the place that was least affected in the current environment. This was indeed a rare talent.
But this choice of climbing up the tree and throwing spiritual insects all over the ground... He smacked his lips, not knowing how to describe this behavior, and could only give a rare and tactful comment.
“It can be considered a solution…”
Regardless of whether the person climbed a tree or a wall, just tell me whether the child escaped the influence of the foggy illusion!
A group of people watched in silence as the jade doll rummaged around and pulled out a bunch of spirit insects. The spirit insects scurried all over the ground, crawling onto the spirit herbs, onto the rocks, into the pool of water, and even onto Fang Yuan's head, who was lost in a dreamlike state, living a life of drunkenness and dreaming, and had lost all notion of what heaven and earth were.
At this moment, Fang Yuan was immersed in the smiles and frowns of countless beauties in the illusion.
The traditional Taoist method of the Hehuan Sect, refining the mind in the mortal world, is to desensitize the disciples to the things they fear through a method similar to the tactic of a sea of questions.
As someone who had experienced this kind of sea of questions before, Fang Yuan was clearly aware that he was in an illusion, and he also understood that he only needed to change his mind to escape from this situation, but something mysterious made him hesitate for a moment.
It's strange, this foggy illusion feels like it's not created by an array, but more like... more like a talent of the demon race?
The Zhongnan Dao Sect, the foremost of the Dharma Cultivators, actually ignored the mountain alliance between humans and demons and used the demons as servitude? What on earth were they trying to accomplish by doing this?
Before Fang Yuan could come to a definite conclusion about what he was thinking, he suddenly shuddered.
Is there something cool, slippery, soft... and can crawl on your body?
Fang Yuan's expression suddenly changed from contemplation to trance, then from trance to disbelief, and finally to horror.
"Jade doll——!!! You stinky girl!!!"
Coincidentally, Chen Duoer, who was one of the only two people present that Jade Baby felt familiar with, could not escape the subconscious approach of the spirit insects.
Compared to the divine Fangyuan who walked for a while, Chen Duoer, who broke through the illusion and remained sober from the beginning, was naturally no less impressive and allowed all the team leaders to clearly hear her beautiful coloratura soprano.
"There's a bug! Jade doll! Why are you going crazy for no reason?!"
——With such naughty and noisy disciples, it seems that the Hehuan Sect is not having an easy time.
Many leaders of sects suddenly had this idea, and then looked at Chu Sheng with sympathy.
Fellow Daoist Chu Sheng, you have worked so hard!
"After all, the Hehuan Sect has traditional methods of tempering the mind in the mortal world. Training your mind should be easy for you."
The Qingfeng Sect is a notoriously old-fashioned sect, and the leader Qinghe trained by it is naturally the least old-fashioned among the old-fashioned.
This little old-fashioned man had already been shocked enough by the images displayed on the first and second spiritual mirrors. Now, he couldn't help but frown as he watched Fang Yuan and Chen Duoer being frightened to the point of flying off on the spot and running around in a completely unruly manner.
"There's no need to resort to unorthodox methods to achieve this. It looks a bit too embarrassing. How shameful!"
Chu Sheng ignored the noisy voices. She watched the movements of the jade doll in the spirit mirror, and her originally relaxed expression gradually became serious.
"……wrong."
As the center of everyone's discussion, the jade doll was breathing in small sips at this moment.
Senior sister said before that the Hehuan Sect will not lie to the Hehuan Sect, and there will be many people coming to play with the baby. Senior sister did not lie, so senior sister is good.
But...but before Baby started playing with everyone, Baby discovered something big!
The jade baby hugged the branch in front of him tightly and ordered his obedient little spirit insect babies to take Fang Yuan and Chen Duoer away from the pond as quickly as possible.
Run faster, faster, faster, otherwise... otherwise you will...
After seeing Fang Yuan and Chen Duoer running away, she closed her eyes in fear.
——Otherwise, you will be injured by this violent big black dragon!
"--roar!!!!!!"
In the pool, the black dragon that should have sunk to the bottom of the cave and fallen asleep suddenly jumped out from the bottom of the water, and let out a heart-breaking roar towards the disciple closest to it!
"What on earth is going on?" Seeing this unexpected situation, the leaders of the various sects could no longer sit still. Some of the anxious ones even jumped down from the high platform and attacked the black dragon directly.
The quiet and silent deep pool was stirred by the current and turned into a whirlpool. The male cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core reached out his hand, trying to manipulate the whirlpool to fix the tail of the black dragon. Another female cultivator with bun-haired hair waved her folding fan, and thousands of colorful butterflies flew out, like ropes binding the dragon's long snout.
But in a matter of seconds, the black dragon unleashed its own power, shattering the spiritual energy that had bound it. Furious at the combined attack, the dragon instantly turned its attention to the two leaders who had attacked, lashing out with its claws, as powerful as magical weapons, at lightning speed!
"clang!!!"
Qi An drew his sword with such speed that it was almost invisible to the onlookers, and instantly rushed out to block the devastating blow. The Luoshui Sword vibrated and hummed like a powerful confrontation between weapons: "Yuan Qi!"
"Tianyan." Yuan Qi called out his own natal magic weapon. The faint smile on the face of the Zhongnan clan leader disappeared, and was replaced by an almost cold indifference.
He appeared beside Qi An at a similar speed, and then Yuan Qi looked at the black dragon that seemed to have lost its mind, and gently opened the umbrella.
"The Black Dragon seems a little confused, go and wake it up."
After the white jade-like umbrella was opened, it spun and flew to the top of the black dragon's head, forming a small circle.
A faint red light flowed on the umbrella for a moment, and finally turned into a few water droplets that fell to the edge of the umbrella ribs. As the umbrella rotated, it connected into several flaming chains that sparkled with star-like light, and tied up the upper body of the black dragon steadily and accurately!
"roar!"
The domineering flames quickly broke through the black dragon's powerful defensive scales. Burned, it became uncontrollably agitated, and its enormous tail began to sweep across the space recklessly.
Although countless densely packed defensive arrays were activated immediately, Chu Sheng was clearly aware of a problem.
A spirit beast in a frenzy loses all rationality and will unleash even greater power than usual. The black dragon that is half a step away from becoming a god is definitely not something that the group of Jindan cultivators present at the moment can control.
Although Yuan Qi has gone to curb the development of the situation, it is obvious at this moment that the first priority is to immediately let the group of sect disciples who can't help withdraw from the current battlefield!
"Hurry up and save them!" Chu Sheng shouted, awakening countless stunned team leaders. He was the first to draw his sword and rushed out in two steps.
A bright light flashed across the Luoshui sword during the battle.
While Yuan Qi was using the Tianyan Demon-Suppressing Umbrella to control the black dragon, Qi An turned the sword and attracted the waterfall, which turned into a sword force on the spot. The huge water system condensed into a giant sword, intending to directly deal a blow to the spirit beast that suddenly caused trouble.
But the black dragon opened its mouth without hesitation and bit the huge spiritual sword into pieces!
