Chapter 493 Innate Illusion
Chapter 493 Innate Illusion
"By the way, you seemed to be in a hurry. What were you planning to do?" Zhang Xuanchen asked.
"Oh dear, look at my brain."
You just startled me.
Ye Xingyun slapped his forehead, looked around warily, and after confirming that no one was around, leaned close to Zhang Xuanchen's ear and whispered:
"Seven days ago, I learned about a place called Dream Lake from a disciple of the Southern Bright Flame Palace."
In the middle of the lake lies a cave, an incredibly vast and dangerous place, but also a place of countless opportunities.
It attracted many cultivators to go there.
However, Dream Lake is far away from here, and it would take at least a month to fly there.
Nanming Yan Palace truly lives up to its reputation as a Nascent Soul cultivator; even from such a great distance, they were able to transmit messages to their fellow disciples.
I wonder what secret techniques they used in actual combat.
We, the unaffiliated cultivators, are far beyond their reach.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuanchen shook his head. "If what you say is true, it will take more than a month to reach the Dream Lake."
Even the Southern Bright Flame Palace could not possibly transmit a message from the Dream Lake to this place.
It's estimated that the news spread from person to person, passing through several groups of disciples from the Nanming Yan Palace before reaching the Nanming Yan Palace disciple you mentioned.
Logically speaking, he wouldn't tell you such a confidential information.
At this point, Zhang Xuanchen gave Ye Xingyun a meaningful look.
He needs to figure out a way to control Ye Xingyun.
That way, even if this guy discovers some of his secrets later, he won't dare to reveal them.
It's quite obvious that the secret of killing a disciple of the Southern Bright Flame Palace will likely be enough to get Ye Xingyun under control.
Because this guy is afraid of dying.
Looking into Zhang Xuanchen's eyes, Ye Xingyun sighed inwardly.
As expected, those who become patriarchs of Golden Core families are no pushovers.
Once the seeds of doubt are sown, they cannot be eradicated with just a few words.
Explanations are useless.
"Alas, Brother Xuanchen, please keep this a secret for me. I will take you to that Mirror Lake and together we will seek an opportunity."
Is that alright?
Zhang Xuanchen smiled and said, "I will naturally go to the Dream Lake."
But let's just leave it at that and look for opportunities together.
We all had to act separately, and how much opportunity we got depended on our own abilities.
You can rest assured about keeping it a secret.
I'm not one to gossip, and besides, given your relationship with my Aunt Hongxi, I would never harm you.
Upon hearing this, Ye Xingyun breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, let's split up then."
Both of them have their own little secrets, and they can only fully unleash their potential by acting separately.
"Without further ado, let's set off immediately."
As expected, at least 30% of the disciples from Nanming Yan Palace will head to Mirror Lake. If we arrive late, we might not even get a chance to drink the soup.
"good!"
Zhang Xuanchen had a premonition that the fragment of the original body that the Xuanjing sensed was in the Dream Lake!
The verification method is simple: use the Xuanjing (mysterious mirror) to sense the intensity of the fragment.
If the senses weaken, Zhang Xuanchen will immediately change direction without hesitation!
"Let's go!"
As the sound faded, two streaks of light shot into the sky.
Zhang Xuanchen did not reveal his early Golden Core stage cultivation to Ye Xingyun; instead, he was at the late Foundation Establishment stage.
As for why it happened so quickly, don't ask.
Just ask.
Do you know what a wind spirit root is?
Time flies, and twenty days have passed in the blink of an eye.
Along the way, Zhang Xuanchen's eyes were opened to a whole new world.
He clearly doesn't possess any special physical attributes; he's just an ordinary genius with three spiritual roots.
But it can sense danger one after another in advance.
Although it may not always work properly, the power of the spider's senses is undeniable.
The two encountered many people during their journey, but chose to take detours to avoid them.
Now, there's no way to avoid it.
Because this place is very close to the so-called dream lake, with less than ten days' journey remaining.
It's clear that quite a few people have learned about the opportunity in the central cave of Dream Lake.
In addition to the disciples of Nanmingyan Palace, there are also disciples from Qingyue Palace, the Wei family, and Tiangong Pavilion.
They were all flying towards Dream Lake with all their might.
One of the young men, named Wei Zhonghe, saw Ye Xingyun and Zhang Xuanchen approaching them with a smile.
"It seems you've received the news as well."
Quick, let's go to Dream Lake.
Young Master Wushuang and the others have already entered the central cave. However, our Tianlong Sea region does not have as many people as the Zhuque Sea region.
But it doesn't matter, how many opportunities you get has little to do with the number of people.
It depends on luck and skill.
"Let's go, let's lend Young Master Wushuang a hand!"
In the past, he would have only felt awe towards Wei Wushuang.
Even if they intended to help, they wouldn't express it as directly as they do now.
The reason for this was that the jade slip list saved his life twice.
Hearing Wei Zhonghe's words, Ye Xingyun was overjoyed.
If only disciples of the Nanming Yan Palace were here, he and Zhang Xuanchen, two disciples of the Wei family, would definitely be questioned if they suddenly arrived.
They might even be captured on the spot.
But now that we have the Wei family as a shield, there's nothing to fear.
"Alright! Brother Zhonghe, let's go provide support quickly!"
Zhang Xuanchen chimed in, "Yes, let's hurry and provide support, lest things get complicated."
Before long, they arrived at the Land of Dream Lake.
What comes into view is a vast expanse of pale purple lake water.
The water surface rippled with light, radiating a spiritual charm.
Occasionally, a small, dreamy fish leaps out of the water.
There were about a thousand small boats moored on the shore.
There were no cultivators flying over the lake, which meant that flying on the lake had ceased.
The only way to reach the center of the lake is by taking a small boat from the lakeside.
However, the scene of monks scrambling to slide or fighting did not occur.
Look around.
Zhang Xuanchen discovered that there were about seventy or eighty people on the small boat.
They stood there blankly, making no further move.
There were about twenty small boats on the lake.
The people on the small boat were clearly in worse condition than the hundred or so people on the shore.
Their faces all displayed expressions of pain, despair, and pleasure.
"They entered the illusion, and to enter the central cave, they must rely on their own willpower to break through the illusion."
People on the shore and on the lake were all trapped in the illusion.
"If we cannot get through, we will likely die." In a short time, Xuanjing had already seen through the Dream Lake.
Zhang Xuanchen inquired:
"Can't we just wake them up by force?"
"no.
If these people are forcibly awakened, they will lose their three souls and six spirits.
They've become mindless, walking corpses.
At this point, Xuanjing's gaze was fixed on the central cave, and he spoke again:
"Brother Chen, the location of the fragment of my original body is in that cave."
You can row directly in, and I will protect your soul.
The primordial illusion of this dreamlike lake cannot affect you in the slightest.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuanchen's eyes gleamed.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's just rinse it off."
After replying in his mind, Zhang Xuanchen looked at Ye Xingyun and Wei Zhonghe, "You two, I believe you have seen it too."
The lake is surrounded by a natural illusion.
If you believe you have a strong will and powerful spiritual sense, you can give it a try.
If one falls into a hallucination, their life may be in danger.
I believe you can tell from their demeanor that what I'm saying is true.
