Soaring ninety thousand miles
Yan Tianhua walked forward methodically, while Liu Linfeng beside her sometimes observed and sometimes chatted with Xing Yu, although Xing Yu rarely responded to him.
Fuyao tried his best to get used to his body. Although he did not suffer any aftereffects from absorbing other ghosts, he felt a strange dizziness in his head.
The entire ghost seemed to have a cold, and its actions were completely disorganized.
They hurried along the path they had come from, heading towards Chi Wangyue.
Yan Tianhua didn't say a word, so Liu Linfeng couldn't find a way to analyze him.
"Harmful."
——
On the other side
Chi Wangyue leisurely rocked the chair beneath her.
The chair was found by Chi Wangyue searching through a study that hadn't completely collapsed yet.
Standing beside him, Huanghun had long known this man's true nature and was not surprised by it.
She abruptly replied, "Your people are coming soon."
"I understand." Chi Wangyue said lazily, rubbing her temples as she closed her eyes to rest.
Why not make the most of this precious nap time?
"Huanhun, aren't you going to rest?" Chi Wangyue believed in mutual consent, and always greeted people politely before speaking.
"Me? I don't want to rest right now. You just rest and don't worry about me," Huang Hun replied casually. He then gave him a gust of cold wind that made him feel completely refreshed.
"Oh," Chi Wangyue replied, showing understanding and respect.
In fact, Chi Wangyue had no intention of turning a blind eye and ignoring everything; he couldn't afford to be a hands-off manager right now.
He devoted himself to observing the changes around him and tried his best to integrate, but he found himself out of place and abandoned the plan. In his words, "Don't invest money before you've succeeded. What if someone deliberately set up a vicious formation and got you caught up in it? You'd lose both your manpower and your resources."
Chi Wangyue thought about it again and again, then shook her head.
"It's not that he's weak, but that his opponent is too strong."
However, Chi Wangyue smiled leisurely and said, "High-level games are the most interesting."
Since the search for information yielded no results, Chi Wangyue sat up and looked at Huanghun, who was standing dutifully beside her.
...
"Don't ask me, I don't know either," Huang Hun blurted out frankly.
A glint of light flashed in Chi Wangyue's eyes.
"If you don't know, is it possible that someone else does? Everyone has at least one or two trusted confidants! Otherwise, if it's time to strike, who will be the one to carry the knife?"
Chi Wangyue's words were on the tip of her tongue, but she abruptly changed the subject: "Do you know any other people or ghosts? Do you know who the powerful figures in this illusion are?"
The fact that she spends a lot of time in the illusion is her advantage. Since the goal is to maximize profits, the first step is to maximize value.
Chi Wangyue naturally regarded Huanghun as a small intelligence agency. Huanghun stared at him, but he didn't care at all. Instead, he looked at him with bright eyes.
"...I've never seen a Sheniu before. Am I just ignorant, or has the world been crazy for too long?"
After a brief hesitation, she calmly said, "I do know some other ghost friends, but they're all trash. I suggest you don't mess with them easily. As for the powerful ones, I don't know many, just two or three."
They are respectively "handsome and elegant", "adding flowers to the moon", and "soaring to great heights".
After Huang Hun finished speaking, he saw Chi Wangyue with a frozen expression, seemingly lost in thought about life.
Chi Wangyue thought to himself, "It's over. He knows everyone except 'Soaring Upwards'. 'Jade Tree in the Wind' refers to Liu Linfeng and Xing Yu, while 'Adding Flowers to the Moon' refers to my senior brother and myself. If we exclude Fuyao, whom I haven't met yet, this illusion is like a huge closed loop."
Chi Wangyue thought of the illusionary space mentioned by her system. Could it be... a hidden connection? The timelines are completely different, how can they still play like this?
If the future Twilight were to encounter them now, they wouldn't be the formidable figures Twilight spoke of, and all of this is based on their successful passage through the "Daytime Robe Youth." If they succeeded, they might leave, or they might remain here.
Chi Wangyue had no way of knowing what the person hiding behind the scenes was up to.
At its core, every game has bugs. Chi Wangyue is waiting for the moment when she finds a way to exploit that vulnerability.
On the other hand, if Huang Hun wasn't lying, then either the illusion itself was the problem, or someone was causing trouble. He just didn't think she would lie, given there was no apparent motivation behind it.
I wouldn't do it even if they replaced me!
Once the person behind the trouble is captured, Chi Wangyue will naturally use all her skills to get him to reveal his true feelings.
He holds grudges, especially against those who have bullied him. Unaware of her surroundings, Yan Tianhua was being protected by her junior brother.
——
Yan Tianhua and her group were unaware of what Huang Hun had mentioned.
Not everyone would believe the words of a ghost they don't know. Chi Wangyue believed that there was no reason for her to lie because she had bound herself to the ghost.
Similarly, Chi Wangyue didn't think this Enchanted Illusion was "easy to defeat." It could simultaneously involve the past and future, modify the original plot, and perhaps there were many other things he didn't know.
He went alone, with the twilight as his guide, to meet those who would greet him.
"In short, I'm working hard! I believe my senior brother can see my hard work and contributions. Right now, this matter is like a tangled mess, and it's best to wait for a smart person to solve it. I think my senior brother is quite capable." Chi Wangyue stretched his body.
"Dusk, do you know where they are?"
Huang Hun lowered his head, thought for a moment, and said, "Come with me."
With affection in his eyes, Chi Wangyue patted her shoulder in a very down-to-earth manner, giving her a big encouragement.
"Very good, let's go."
——
Yan Tianhua led the way, with Liu Linfeng and Xing Yu following on either side.
After knowing Yan Tianhua for a long time, Liu Linfeng's courage grew exponentially.
Previously forced to submit to the pressure of power, Liu Linfeng, now by Yan Tianhua's side, has developed his own rhythm, knowing what to say and what not to say with finesse.
Xing Yu was not surprised by this.
Fuyao's advancement is based on "unconventional/non-standard advancement," which is a very weak period from the transitional stage to maturity.
Logically, Fuyao should hide herself now, but instead, she chooses to follow Yan Tianhua into the area. This is a well-thought-out decision, which is high-risk but also high-reward.
Yan Tianhua was a powerful figure it had its eye on; if he were to die easily, it would also be affected. But it was different; it was a ghost itself. Even if it were torn to pieces, as long as it had a breath left and wanted to live, it had a 99% chance of survival.
As for that one percent, Fuyao was willing to bet that "Yan Tianhua will definitely save him, and will bring him back to life."
Faith is a powerful force that provides believers with continuous spiritual motivation. And for those who hold firm to their beliefs, though the journey may be long, the destination will surely be reached.
Chi Wangyue's vision suddenly froze, and the system panel suddenly displayed garbled characters as if there was a bug. After three to four minutes, the situation improved a little.
"?"
When she opened it again, Chi Wangyue found that the "Belief is Power" message in her backpack had changed!
The original message of "belief in even the strongest forces" in the blue penguin has been transformed into a palm-sized chibi doll.
The additional small print explains: "Belief is conviction. Congratulations to the host for discovering the hidden storyline and independently forming a small team. A strong burst of faith value has been detected on the other side. [Belief is Power] will be automatically activated and successfully changed to the intermediate skill [Belief Doll]."
Chi Wangyue calculated in her mind that the only person who could possibly activate the Belief Value and reach a certain critical point of "Belief is Power" was Yan Tianhua!
Chi Wangyue muttered to herself, "Maybe the eldest brother picked up a little ghost or follower somewhere, and Yan Tianhua protected him in the face of danger, giving them a strong sense of belief—'to live.'"
However, when the system automatically groups them into a team, Yan Tianhua's faith points can be allocated to their own team! This is equivalent to a team mission.
The dreamlike illusion is truly terrifying!
As Chi Wangyue was brainstorming, the system's indifferent voice sounded: "【Belief Doll】is a skill favored by transmigrators throughout history. It is equivalent to providing the host with a fatal blow, while simultaneously increasing the host's maximum damage value for a short period of time without side effects."
Every advantage has its disadvantages.
Since the [Belief Doll] is so useful, it must cost a lot of money to train it.
Chi Wangyue pouted.
The system continued, "In the world of cultivation, the [Faith Doll] can only be used if there is a foundation of faith and a certain stage is reached."
The host's current faith value is zero.
The [Faith Doll] will automatically enter hibernation mode. It will only be activated when the host's faith value reaches approximately 10,000.
Chi Wangyue: "...Damn system, you've tricked me again! What kind of lousy setting is this?!"
Ignoring Chi Wangyue's antics behind him, Huang Hun secretly quickened his pace.
Chi Wangyue thought to herself, but outwardly she was concerned about saving face.
He simultaneously improved his footwork to keep up with the twilight.
Huang Hun and Chi Wangyue arrived first, and the two immediately sensed something was amiss. There was a faint smell of blood in the air, as if someone had just left. A metallic scent mingled with the air, instantly making them feel disgusted.
"Omitted." Chi Wangyue suddenly ran to the side and vomited.
The previously pervasive sense of danger was dispelled, and the psychological effect was dealt with somewhat hastily.
dusk"……"
——
When Yan Tianhua stepped back in, everything felt wrong. It seemed different, but not completely different.
When he was a child, he passed by Danxin Peak with his master. The illusion would automatically block the two of them, but they could see the people who entered the illusion at the same time.
On one occasion, Yan Tianhua glanced at it a few more times, and Xing Juan blindfolded him, saying, "If you can't easily solve the puzzle, don't look at it any longer."
"Okay." Yan Tianhua lacked strength, but had a very strong will.
Xing Juan said in a serious tone, "The Illusionary Realm was originally intended to protect Danxin Peak. Most of the structures inside are fake, just makeshift platforms. Don't easily believe what you see with your eyes; they usually lead you into the abyss without you even realizing it."
“Disciples of my peak specialize in the Path of Ruthlessness. The Great Dao is ruthless, but not all cultivators are ruthless. You must remember that it is not the Path of Ruthlessness that requires cultivating ruthlessness, but rather how you cultivate yourself.”
"You are a good child, and God will bless you. I hope you will not be limited by fixed thinking, will not be swayed by the words of the world, and will not be secretly hurt by the kindness in your heart."
Xing Juan, holding little Yan Tianhua's hand, watched a scene of enchanting illusion.
The illusion is false, but what lies within is real.
Truth and falsehood, reality and illusion, who can truly understand?
Yan Tianhua closed her eyes, gripped the Uncrossing Sword, and faced the long road ahead with a single strike.
Liu Linfeng's expression suddenly cleared up. "So that's how it is!"
Xing Yu secretly pressed down the little brother Lin Feng's raised tail.
A glimmer of clarity lingered in Fuyao's eyes.
Then, they all appeared in front of the Chi residence's gate, while Chi Wangyue was behind the gate.
As Yan Tianhua stepped forward to touch the peculiar patterns on the door, the door suddenly opened.
At dusk, standing at a suitable distance from the pond gazing at the moon, he reminded her, "Stop throwing up, your people are here."
Chi Wangyue paused for a moment, then quickly got up to open the door and met Yan Tianhua.
Chi Wangyue looked at her somewhat dazed senior brother and asked, "Senior brother, are you alright?"
Yan Tianhua instinctively replied, "It's alright."
As Chi Wangyue turned to the side, Yan Tianhua entered and caught a glimpse of dusk.
At the same time, Chi Wangyue saw Liu Linfeng, Xing Yu, and a young boy.
...
"Senior Brother, I can explain what happened at dusk, but who is that young man?" Chi Wangyue was holding onto his sleeve, determined not to let go until he answered.
...
Yan Tianhua gave Fuyao a look.
Fuyao suddenly realized, "I... cough cough cough, I'm a ghost. If Yan Tianhua hadn't saved me, I would have died long ago. To repay his kindness, I've decided to follow him..."
Chi Wangyue asked, "What's your name?"
Fuyao subconsciously looked at Yan Tianhua.
Yan Tianhua looked at her junior brother and said softly, "This is 'Soaring High'. It is taken from the poem 'Soaring High'."
Chi Wangyue "..."
The world is a giant closed loop! In the end, Fuyao is here!
