Chapter 363: Clear Mind
As soon as Chu Jingyan finished speaking, the sky in the wilderness, which had been sunny and bright, suddenly darkened.
In just a few breaths of time, the sky was covered with dark clouds, strong winds blew, and sand and rocks flew everywhere.
Yun Qingqing watched as a tornado rose from the flat ground and rushed towards her!
The tornado moved incredibly fast, roaring like a ferocious beast and approached in the blink of an eye, submerging Yun Qingqing.
A mocking voice came from the sky:
“Nothing more than that!”
However, Yun Qingqing's cold laugh came from the center of the storm, and every word was clearly audible amid the howling wind:
"This is worthy of being called Xumi Illusionary Realm?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Qingqing walked out of the tornado unharmed.
In the hall, Chu Jingyan took a breath and looked at a strange scroll in his hand in shock.
"How could it be!"
The scroll contained an ink painting of dark clouds and an approaching tornado.
Next to the tornado that occupies most of the picture, there is an inconspicuous thin line. Upon closer inspection, you can vaguely make out the figure of a woman.
I only heard the woman in the painting say calmly:
"The Xumi Illusion is an illusion created by the ancient spiritual artifact Xumi Scroll. It can project the image of the person holding the scroll into the scroll, creating an illusion that is indistinguishable from the real thing. As long as the person in it has the slightest doubt that the scene is real, the influence of the illusion on the person will become real. In other words, injuries and deaths in the illusion will become reality."
"It's just that..." Yun Qingqing changed the subject and sneered, "This kind of illusion that looks fake at first glance is at most a low-grade fake. How can it be called the Xumi Illusion?"
Chu Jingyan's expression changed, and his gloomy eyes showed a bit of anger.
"Arrogant! Stop bluffing! This Xumi Scroll is a superb spiritual weapon that has been passed down in the Seven Stars Palace for hundreds of years! How can it be a fake!"
As he spoke, he picked up his pen and started sketching quickly on the picture.
In the scroll, the clouds are rolling around the clear sky, and suddenly high mountains rise from the plains. Suddenly, the earth cracks, and there are lightning and thunder in the sky, flying sand and rocks. It rains and snows all year round, as if the world is changing dramatically in an instant.
However, he found that no matter how the illusion in the painting changed, Yun Qingqing always took only one step at a time, changed direction, and casually strolled in it.
Not a single bit damaged.
He looked at the tiny female figure, a little stunned, and stopped writing.
After a moment, he closed his eyes and whispered:
"At least we just need to trap her for an hour, that's all..."
Suddenly, a loud shout came from the painting:
"stop!"
This voice belonged to the Great Elder, and then the voices of other elders were heard:
"Chu Jingyan, do you know that unauthorized use of super-grade spiritual tools is a violation of palace rules and will be severely punished!"
"Why did you set a trap in the palace? Why don't you tell the truth?"
"Let us out immediately! If we explain ourselves clearly, we may consider giving us a lighter sentence!"
Chu Jingyan remained silent, his eyes fell on a few small black dots in the corner of the picture. They were the elders who followed Yun Qingqing into the hall.
His eyes darkened, and he raised his brush and wrote a few times. The terrain around the elder changed instantly. Several high mountains rose from the ground, leaving only a deep valley with cliffs on all sides where the elder was. It was simply impossible to get out by human power.
Several elders became increasingly angry, and roars could be heard from the painting:
"You evil creature! Are you going to betray your master?"
"How could the Seven Stars Hall accept a disciple like you who has evil intentions?"
"Chu Jingyan, why don't you stop? Have you thought about the consequences?"
There was almost no fluctuation on Chu Jingyan's gloomy face. As soon as he raised his hand and wrote, a heavy rain poured down in the valley, directly choking back the voices of the elders.
The Xumi illusion has its own rules, and no magic spells will work. Several elders were unable to take care of themselves and suddenly had no energy to shout.
Chu Jingyan's gaze turned away, and he looked quietly at the dust-like figure of the woman. His eyes were gloomy and sad, and no one knew what he was thinking.
But after a moment, he suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly and let out a subconscious low cry.
"Um?"
He knew the power of this Sumeru illusion. Every scene inside was so realistic that it was difficult to distinguish. Therefore, even if people who entered knew that it was an illusion, it was still very difficult for them to firmly believe that what they saw was false.
As long as there is even the slightest hesitation or belief in your heart, you will really be affected by the things in the illusion.
If you miss a step, you will fall. If a tornado strikes, you will be swept away.
Therefore, Yun Qingqing was not affected by the illusion at all. Chu Jingyan knew that her mind was extremely clear and firm. This woman's state of mind was far beyond those elders.
Several elders were now trapped in the cliff valley. They were soaked like drowned rats but were still struggling to escape the flood.
However, Chu Jingyan had only discovered that Yun Qingqing was not affected by the illusion, but he didn't think she had any way to escape.
But at this moment, after observing Yun Qingqing for a while, he suddenly discovered something strange.
The woman is now walking on the surging river.
Still taking his time, he only took one step at a time, then stopped for a moment before taking the next step.
She showed no signs of unsteadiness or falling into the water, and just walked leisurely on the river.
Before, Chu Jingyan thought that although her mind was clear, she still felt that the scenes before her eyes were changing and confusing, so she kept changing her position.
But at this moment he suddenly saw something.
I saw that Yun Qingqing was not always walking in one direction, nor was she walking in a direction to avoid some scene.
Chu Jingyan's heart moved, and he raised his pen to wipe out the river water under her feet, replacing it with a meadow.
Yun Qingqing continued walking on her own, as if she was completely unaware of the changes in the scenery.
Chu Jingyan made a few more strokes and added a pile of large and small stones on all sides of her feet, leaving a gap in one direction.
Yun Qingqing didn't even look at the gap. She took a step towards it and her feet went straight through a huge rock.
It can be said that the direction in which she walked had nothing to do with the surrounding scenery.
But she didn't walk in one direction. Almost every step she took changed the direction.
Chu Jingyan's brows gradually furrowed, and he stared at her movements for a while, then suddenly his brows relaxed and he laughed grimly:
"Princess Regent, you are indeed very capable, but even if you can understand the formation of this illusion, you can't open the exit by yourself!"
"I advise you to save your energy!"
