Chapter 2092 Connecting the Origin of the Primordial Continent
"Let's go in too," Cao Feiyu said.
Chen Fei nodded, no longer hesitating, and strode forward.
Following the flow of people, Chen Fei took a step forward and easily crossed the transparent barrier.
The instant his body made contact with the barrier.
"Buzz!"
A very strange and violent fluctuation seemed to penetrate his body and soul, sweeping across his entire body.
The feeling was indescribable, as if an invisible hand had gently touched his very being.
At the same time, Chen Fei could clearly perceive that the surrounding space was changing drastically.
The scene before me blurred and doubled for a very brief moment, as if space itself was twisting and folding.
This feeling came quickly and went quickly. In the blink of an eye, everything returned to normal.
However, when Chen Fei steadied himself and looked up, his brows furrowed slightly.
The vast number of Tai Cang Realm beings that were just around have all vanished.
Chen Fei's gaze swept rapidly around the surroundings; it was empty and deathly silent!
Apart from himself, he could not see any other cultivators in his field of vision, including Cao Feiyu and the others.
More importantly, Chen Fei's gaze fell on his feet and ahead.
Beneath their feet lay those familiar, pristine white stone slabs, covered with fine cracks, while in the distance stood the colossal, dilapidated Heavenly Gate, towering tens of thousands of feet high.
The place where Chen Fei was standing at this moment was the same place where he had just stepped into the ruins.
He had clearly come so far, but now, everything seemed to have returned to square one, as if he had never left this place.
Chen Fei sensed the Yuan energy within his body and found nothing abnormal, nor any signs of being corrupted or confused by illusions.
Chen Fei took a deep breath and maximized all his senses.
Chen Fei looked around, his gaze sharp as a blade, meticulously examining every detail. The cracks in the stone slab beneath his feet, the remaining Dao patterns on the Heavenly Gate, the concentration and attributes of the spiritual energy flowing in the air…
It's not an illusion!
Chen Fei quickly came to a conclusion.
Everything before my eyes, including the stone slabs beneath my feet and the Heavenly Gate in the distance, is a real, tangible material existence. The sense of vicissitude and decay left by time, as well as the subtle Taoist charm contained within, cannot be fully imitated by any illusion.
Since it's not an illusion, then...
"A small world?" A thought flashed through Chen Fei's mind.
The ancient Heavenly Court once ruled over all the heavens and myriad realms, dividing its location into countless sub-planes, which was nothing to the powerful beings of the Heavenly Court.
Just like the current Martial Arts Arena of the Myriad Realms, there are many sub-planes within it.
If that's the case, then everyone was already separated the moment they stepped over that barrier.
Everyone may have entered their own little world, which could explain why Chen Fei returned here alone.
Thinking of this, Chen Fei couldn't help but recall some of the discussions they had had at Cuiping Peak regarding this exploration of the ruins.
Previously, many Tai Cang Realm experts within Cuiping Peak suggested that one person should go ahead while the others enter their own plane, so that even if they encounter spatial changes, they would not be separated.
However, in the end, very few people responded…
Because the resources found are difficult to allocate, and if they really encounter such an irresistible spatial change, since the Tai Cang Realm has a Dao Domain, it is inherently incompatible with other Tai Cang Realm powerhouse planes, and they will still be forcibly thrown out of the Tai Cang Realm's personal plane.
Chen Fei stood still for a moment, quickly suppressing the distracting thoughts in his mind. His gaze returned to the massive, dilapidated celestial gate ahead. Since he suspected this was an independent sub-plane, he might as well go in and take another look.
Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Fei stepped forward and walked through the dilapidated Heavenly Gate once again.
The feeling of passing through the Heavenly Gate was exactly the same as before; that faint sense of spatial transformation reappeared.
The scene before me changed, and the familiar fairy garden scenery reappeared before my eyes.
However, this time, Chen Fei's gaze was no longer one of admiration or awe, but rather one of extreme, calm scrutiny.
"The situation behind the door is exactly the same as what we saw earlier..."
Chen Fei's divine sense swept quickly and meticulously over every scene before him, and everything perfectly matched the images in his memory.
Those half-collapsed exquisite pavilions, the babbling streams and small waterfalls, the faint fragrance and rich spiritual energy in the air... were exactly the same as what I had seen before.
Chen Fei's gaze fell on the ruins of the collapsed buildings, which was the main area that the fifteenth-level cultivators had previously looted.
"Those rare and precious materials that were just fought over are still there..."
Yes, they are all there. Just quietly, unchanged, in their original places.
This discovery brought Chen Fei's doubts and vigilance to a fever pitch.
If this is the same plane of existence, then the stolen rare and precious materials couldn't possibly still be in the same place. If this is a different sub-plane, then the collapsed scenes and the rare and precious materials shouldn't be exactly the same.
Yes, they shouldn't be exactly the same!
Even different sub-planes created based on the same prototype will develop huge differences after the passage of endless years and the impact of the battles of that time.
But everything before my eyes was like a frozen painting.
Only a dream world could so accurately replicate scenes and objects that are exactly the same as those in one's memory.
However, Chen Fei's spiritual perception could not detect the existence of any illusion.
The Devouring Heaven Divine Forging not only tempers the physical body but also greatly benefits the soul. Combined with the Undying True Light Mirror, it possesses extremely strong resistance and the ability to discern ordinary illusions and mazes.
At this moment, Chen Fei pushed his divine soul perception to its limit, carefully sensing every fluctuation of the surrounding primordial energy and every change in the rules.
However, the feedback was still incredibly real. The solidity of the ground beneath my feet, the flow of spiritual energy in the air, the Daoist aura emanating from the rare and precious materials… everything conformed to the rules, without the slightest sense of illusion or incongruity.
This extreme realism and the obvious logical contradiction made Chen Fei frown again.
After a moment of silence, Chen Fei stood in front of the Tianlan wood that looked exactly the same as before, stretched out his finger, and pointed it in the air.
"laugh!"
A wisp of Yuan energy shot out from his fingertip and struck the surface of the piece of Tianlan wood.
"Boom!"
A deep, heavy sound rang out, but the Tianlan wood remained completely still, without even a trace left on its surface.
"Judging from its texture and the Daoist aura it exudes, this is a sixteenth-grade low-level spiritual material."
Chen Fei carefully sensed all the information fed back after the collision of Yuan Power: the toughness of the wood, the vast and pure water-based vitality and Daoist charm contained within, and that unique aura that seemed to cleanse the mind...
Everything matched perfectly with the characteristics of the Tianlan Wood recorded in the classics and what he had just witnessed.
The results of the probe did not lead Chen Fei to a clear conclusion; instead, they made the situation even more complicated.
Faced with this situation, Chen Fei had roughly two paths to choose from.
Now you either ignore everything in front of you and keep moving forward...
Chen Fei's gaze drifted deeper into the ruins. Since he couldn't distinguish between the real and the fake, he decided to ignore it. Based on his previous experience, as long as he continued forward, he would reach the barrier used to filter out the Tai Cang Realm.
As you move forward, you can continuously observe and perceive your surroundings, looking for any potential flaws or inconsistencies. Perhaps as you delve deeper, this so-called illusion will reveal more of its true nature.
Next, try to cross the barrier and see what happens.
Since such strange changes occurred after crossing the barrier before, crossing it again might reveal more of the truth, such as whether it will lead to another different sub-plane, or return to the "real" world, or trigger other unknown changes.
The advantage of this choice is that it is proactive, and you won't be passively stuck in one place.
However, the risks are also great. Venturing deep into the area without any knowledge of the surrounding environment or even the authenticity of it could easily lead to a fatal mistake.
"Either we stay here and figure things out..." This is the second option, a more prudent and cautious choice.
Since you have doubts about everything before you, then don't act rashly. Otherwise, you might make more mistakes and end up in an irreversible situation.
Chen Fei naturally chose the second method because he had an advantage that other cultivators did not have.
This advantage, of course, does not refer to his powerful physical body and magnificent soul, which have been tempered and refined by the Devouring Heaven Divine Forging. He cannot even be sure whether it is an illusion, which is itself a kind of powerlessness.
Chen Fei's greatest advantage lies in the panel and the space grid.
Chen Fei reached out, and an invisible force of energy swept out, gently lifting the piece of Tianlan wood on the ground.
"Whoosh!"
The Heavenly Orchid Wood transformed into a stream of light and fell into Chen Fei's wide sleeve. Then, inside the sleeve, Chen Fei stored the Heavenly Orchid Wood in his spatial storage compartment.
If everything before me is real, then storing the Heavenly Azure Wood in my spatial storage is a normal gain. But if everything before me is some kind of incredibly sophisticated illusion…
No matter how realistic an illusion may seem, it is still based on deceiving the soul and cognition of the person who falls into it.
It's like an elaborately woven dream, where everything conforming to the dream's logic can be created. But what if someone tried to take an object from the dream to a place completely outside of that dream…
So, can this item still exist?
The quality of the spatial grid or panel is unusually high... Chen Fei initially thought that the panel was the origin of the Xuan Yu Realm, but now it seems that the panel may be connected to the origin of the primordial continent.
As the Tianlan Wood was taken into the spatial compartment, Chen Fei also looked over.
The scene within the spatial compartment was clearly visible under his mental reflection, but at this moment, there was no trace of Tianlan Wood, no calm and mellow water-based rhythm, and no natural water ripples.
It was merely a mass of primordial energy, a mass of primordial energy where gold and black were intertwined. (End of Chapter)
