Chapter 117 Trapped in an Illusion! Three Lives Awaken!
The alluring woman reclining on the armchair is none other than Helian Shiyue, the leader of the Soul Devouring Cult!
At this moment, her eyes were fixed on the storage ring engraved with the number "nine".
His eerie eyes were filled with endless rage.
"Lu Qinghan, eight hundred years ago, you killed my father and brothers and stole my innocence for the position of sect leader, causing the entire Helian family to be slaughtered!"
But the higher-ups of the Nine Hua Sword Sect all seemed to be blind, and their pretentious expressions were disgusting!
It's laughable that a sect controlled by a group of hypocritical people is regarded as a sacred place for cultivation and is longed for by everyone!
God!
How unfair you are!
Helian Shiyue's expression was ferocious, his heart filled with endless resentment and rage!
Then, for no apparent reason, he burst out laughing.
"Hahaha, since you, God, don't care, then I, the leader, will take away their filthy, worthless lives!"
Hehehe..."
……
Four months later.
Under the scorching sun in the desert, the heat waves distorted the view.
Zhang Xuanchen, moving straight ahead, extended his divine sense, remaining constantly vigilant against the threat from the desert monsters.
"That's not right. Logically speaking, after walking for four months, we should have already passed through the Ten Thousand Bones Sand Ruins. But why do I feel like I'm just going around in circles in this area?"
And what about the monsters and evil spirits in the desert?
Seven days have passed, and I haven't encountered anything yet?
That shouldn't be the case.
During the four months he traveled through the Ten Thousand Bones Desert, he encountered many demonic beasts that wanted to eat him.
They encountered 73 rare drought demon corpses, one of which had already reached the early stage of the second tier.
Without the Dragon Abyss Sword, it would really take some effort to kill him.
Perhaps due to the lack of food in the desert, they had to fight against monsters every day.
But in the last seven days, they haven't encountered a single monster.
This left him quite puzzled.
Am I already at the edge of the Ten Thousand Bones Sand Ruins, or am I trapped in an illusion?
He had heard that the most deadly thing in the Ten Thousand Bones Desert was not the hungry monsters inside, but the invisible and intangible desert illusion.
Once trapped, and without timely intervention, there is only one way out: death.
While pondering, Zhang Xuanchen climbed over a huge sand dune.
The scene before my eyes changed drastically in an instant.
A vibrant oasis suddenly appeared, with a clear lake rippling in the sunlight, and fish occasionally leaping out of the water.
The leaves of the sacred tree by the lake swayed in the wind.
This contrasts sharply with the desert area where Zhang Xuanchen stands.
"oasis!"
Seeing this, Zhang Xuanchen did not rush over, but instead extended his divine sense to sense it.
"There's water vapor and life, that's true, but why is there no one?"
After hesitating for a while, Zhang Xuanchen decided to go in and take a look.
We can't just go back the way we came, can we?
As Zhang Xuanchen continued to delve deeper, the information his divine sense fed back became increasingly accurate.
There was no sign of it being fake.
Reaching the lakeside, Zhang Xuanchen scooped up some water and washed his face.
I felt an instant coolness.
Something's not right! Something's weird!
The incredibly realistic sensations here are constantly eroding my judgment!
Alarm bells rang in my mind, and I took each step forward with extreme caution.
Holding the Longyuan Sword, he was ready to strike.
The air around was extremely cool and humid, and there were even birds chirping in the trees.
"This is so real..."
The sense of unease in his heart grew stronger, and he immediately unleashed a sword aura, instantly killing the spirit bird on the treetop.
It fell to the ground with a thud.
But the next moment, an identical spirit bird appeared and stood on the treetop.
"Depend on!"
"I definitely got infected!"
Suddenly turning his head to look at the endless desert behind him, Zhang Xuanchen finally understood why he hadn't encountered any monsters for seven consecutive days.
When did you get infected?
They didn't notice at all!
I actually encountered a death illusion that only has a one in a thousand chance of happening!
What kind of situation is this?
After calming himself down, Zhang Xuanchen stopped thinking about these messy things.
Walk straight ahead.
Then head east...
west……
Heading north...
To the northeast...
I've traveled in all directions, and no matter how far I go, I'll eventually return to this lake.
He stared blankly at the dead bird.
He then unleashed a fierce ray of sword energy.
Click!
The surrounding spirit trees snapped in response, and the broken spirit trees lay quietly on the ground, but new trunks would grow from the broken parts!
Damn it!
Don't panic. Since the legend of this death illusion exists in the Ten Thousand Bones Sand Ruins, it proves that someone has successfully escaped it.
Otherwise, it would never have been circulated.
"Then I can definitely do it too!"
Zhang Xuanchen cursed under his breath, forcing himself to calm down.
Sitting cross-legged by the lake.
Eyes closed tightly.
Now that we know this area is an illusion, it's pointless to try to destroy it with force.
It no longer relies on sight, hearing, or the divine sense that has been deceived to perceive the outside world.
He activated the Returning to Origin Divine Technique, sinking his consciousness into the deepest part of his body.
He repeatedly contemplated the essence of the Guiyuan Divine Technique.
"With a calm mind, one can see through falsehoods; with the spirit returning to its original state, one can dispel illusions."
A discerning eye illuminates three thousand shadows; a single moment of tranquility, and illusion vanishes.
Gradually, Zhang Xuanchen's mind became clear and empty. He continuously mobilized, compressed, and condensed his own divine sense power, wanting to break through his surroundings.
Over time.
His consciousness was plunged into a state of utter chaos.
The surroundings were pitch black, but there were tiny lights, like stars in the night sky.
Zhang Xuanchen wanted to move forward, but was blocked by an invisible barrier.
"Could it be this barrier that's trapping me in this illusion?"
Thinking this, Zhang Xuanchen manipulated his divine sense to continuously attack the barrier, only to be constantly bounced back.
A sharp pain and waves of dizziness surged through my soul.
At the same time, Zhang Xuanchen could clearly feel that his divine sense was being forged in a furnace. It was painful, but it became more solid and sharp, and his divine sense was constantly rising towards the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
"It's true that misfortune and fortune are intertwined. I never expected that this death illusion would have such an effect!"
Those cultivators who successfully broke through the illusion were really tight-lipped!
As the impact continued, Zhang Xuanchen discovered...
When he believes that something should exist or change, the illusion will fluctuate slightly!
Just now, when he killed that spirit bird, he also imagined the scene of the spirit bird's death.
"This illusion...is peering into my heart!"
It changes according to what I desire!
Zhang Xuanchen gradually realized!
Since this illusion is caused by thoughts, what if my thoughts are empty?
Will that break the illusion?
Mind this.
He stopped thinking about how to destroy the oasis and cleared his mind of all distractions!
All his spirit, will, and divine power were poured into the Dragon Abyss Sword in his hand.
"My body is reality! My sword is the truth!"
"True Self Sword! Slash!"
Zhang Xuanchen let out a low shout, and his divine sense and physical body simultaneously unleashed this absolutely real sword strike!
This sword strike had no fancy moves, only a firm belief in cutting through illusion!
click-
A crisp sound rang out!
Immediately afterwards, this oasis world formed by illusion collapsed and vanished completely.
Zhang Xuanchen also returned to that desert.
The wind was hot, dry, and sandy, lashing against my face.
That is, the instant of returning to reality.
After undergoing tempering in the illusionary realm, his divine sense broke through the barrier directly, reaching the late Foundation Establishment stage!
Just then, a petite figure, like a porcelain doll, appeared in front of Zhang Xuanchen.
Clapping their little hands.
A child's innocent laughter rang out:
"Haha, not bad, my new master. I didn't expect you to break through the illusion of this mirage crystal all by yourself. Very good, very good!"
Upon seeing the figure before him, Zhang Xuanchen's face lit up with ecstatic joy.
"Sansheng! You're awake!"
