Chapter 422 The Rules of the World Are Under My Feet
What does Zhong Liyu want most?
It's just returning to Earth, like it is now.
Everything is a final arrangement.
He looked up and enjoyed a moment of comfort, then walked step by step to the high-rise building and jumped off.
As he was lifted into the air, faint screams could be heard from all around.
As Zhong Liyu fell freely, he felt his liver shatter. He struggled to open his eyes, wanting to see the world one last time.
Until his eyelids became too heavy to lift, he knew it was time to say goodbye.
He can only survive by returning to the cultivation world; otherwise, after death, there is nothing left.
In the illusion, Zhong Liyu's consciousness was weak until she stopped breathing.
When he woke up again, he had already escaped the illusion.
Many monks lay lifeless on the ground.
Zhong Liyu shook her head, unable to distinguish between reality and illusion.
Pei Ci stayed quietly in the corner, slowly unwrapping the bandages from his body.
Among the surrounding cultivators, Zhongli Yu and Pei Ci were the first to break free from the illusion.
Soon, Zhong Liyu discovered that among these cultivators, whether they had stopped breathing or were trapped in an illusion like him, there were no traces of Bai Zhizhou, Li Ling, or Kong Ji.
Zhong Liyu moved to Long Aotian's side and checked his breathing.
Fortunately, still alive.
Zhong Liyu carried Long Aotian on her back and approached Pei Ci in a familiar manner:
"Fellow Daoist, is there any news about Fellow Daoist Hong?"
Pei Ci shook his head:
"We don't know for now."
Pei Ci knew Jiang He's abilities; the talisman bell was a secret technique, and she must have other plans for leaving it in the space.
"I see, fellow Daoist. By the way, who do you think set up this trap? Judging from this illusion, I think several Nascent Soul stage cultivators died. The person who set up the trap must have at least the Void Refinement stage."
Pei Ci carefully put away the bandage:
"It's a setup by chance. She'll probably choose a body to possess. If you have time, you can bring her out of the illusion. More people will make things easier."
After Pei Ci finished speaking, he turned around and plunged his sword into a cultivator in the illusion. He acted swiftly and decisively, without hitting any vital organs.
After a few more cuts, the cultivator slowly woke up. He looked at the wounds on his body, clearly still somewhat confused.
While Zhong Liyu was still processing Pei Ci's words, upon hearing the words "possession," he instantly connected the disappearance of Bai Zhizhou and the others with this.
Isn't Ying Fengyi the owner of the cave?
According to the information Zhong Liyu had, he should have died long ago.
Possession also means that the primordial spirit is still present.
Ying Fengyi had been lurking for over a thousand years in preparation for seizing another's body.
In that case, the map and the plan for possession left by Ying Fengyi must have been prepared a thousand years ago.
Such a meticulous plan is chilling to think about.
Zhong Liyu's eyes showed a hint of panic. Following this line of reasoning, the missing cultivator was most likely chosen by Ying Fengyi as a physical body.
Bai Zhizhou and Kong Ji are exceptionally talented, while Li Ling cultivates both magic and spirit; these individuals are among the most talented of them all.
As Zhong Liyu pondered this, his hands were not idle either. He began to imitate Pei Ci, torturing the cultivators who had fallen into the illusion to wake them up.
The more people who break free from the illusion, the greater the possibility that Ying Fengyi will suffer a backlash.
This is a consensus between Zhong Liyu and Pei Ci.
Zhong Liyu grumbled as he looked at the densely packed cultivators, suddenly feeling like he was working on an assembly line.
With so many cultivators, it would take forever to cause trouble.
Zhong Liyu sped up and decisively slammed Long Aotian to the ground.
When Long Aotian woke up, he had gained even more strength.
Heng and his party breathed a sigh of relief as they watched Long Aotian emerge from the illusion. Fortunately, this kid had woken him up.
He knew Ying Fengyi; he was from the neighboring sect.
The Xiaoyao Sect generally doesn't get involved in other people's affairs. When Ying Fengyi was besieged, Yu Cui thought about saving him, but it was too late.
Ying Fengyi was besieged and killed. He sent Long Aotian to this secret realm to retrieve a sword that he had once lent to Ying Fengyi.
He never expected that Ying Fengyi would not only survive but also rise from the dead.
Two thousand years have passed, and she almost wiped out this entire new generation of cultivators in the secret realm. No wonder she was known as the female demon back then.
Heng Yixing's situation was not much different from Ying Fengyi's, and he disagreed with Ying Fengyi's approach.
The primordial spirit is still there; if the body is gone, it can be rebuilt. You're being too hasty.
Unlike him, he never even considered possessing another body.
As more and more cultivators awakened, the backlash that Ying Fengyi suffered became heavier.
Jiang He, immersed in the illusion, returned to the rainy day she had experienced before. The damp air was mixed with coldness and was incredibly sticky.
Looking at Jiang He, who had finally been pulled into the illusion, Ying Fengyi's eyes were filled with pleasure:
"Having expended so much spiritual energy, it's not a bad deal. Let me see what your desires are."
After Ying Fengyi finished speaking, she entered the illusion and greedily looked at the souls within it.
The pure white soul huddled in mid-air, as if she could strangle it with the slightest touch.
Different times, similar scenes.
As Jiang He walked on the road, the cold raindrops splashed up to her ankles.
This is an illusion created by Ying Fengyi. To escape, Jiang He could choose to commit suicide, but even if she did, leaving the illusion would still mean the space remained Ying Fengyi's domain.
She couldn't do anything to Ying Fengyi, but Ying Fengyi could kill her.
Jiang He reached out and caught a drop of rain. In an instant, her spiritual energy surged, and her cultivation level surpassed that of the Nascent Soul stage, reaching more than the Void Refinement stage.
With a flick of her finger, Jiang He teleported effortlessly into the air.
Lingering in the clouds, Ying Fengyi suddenly spotted Jiang He. Her brow furrowed, and a bad premonition welled up inside her:
"You didn't get addicted?"
She had gone to great lengths to pull Jiang He into the illusion, intending to kill her primordial spirit. But now, she clearly saw that Jiang He's strength had increased rather than decreased within her illusion, and that she had even easily found her location.
Jiang He knew very well that the illusion was created by Ying Fengyi.
When she realizes that it is all an illusion, the subject of the illusion changes.
Those who create illusions usually draw inspiration from the distracting thoughts in a cultivator's mind. Consequently, the foundation of the illusion, or rather, the entire illusion, reflects her thoughts.
The illusion is built upon her worldview, from the vastness of space to the smallest cell. Whether it's the power settings or the rules of the illusion, they can be changed according to her thoughts.
and so……
Rather than saying that Ying Fengyi is the one who created the illusion, from the perspective of Jiang He entering this world, everything in the world serves her, including the rules.
In the illusion created by her own worldview, Jiang He can disregard the rules.
If she wanted to, her level of cultivation could be raised infinitely.
Ying Fengyi entered the illusion, and no longer only revealed one eye; her entire primordial spirit appeared before Jiang He.
She stood on the clouds, watching Jiang He teleport to her side multiple times.
Jiang He had no experience in the Void Refinement stage, so she simply used spiritual energy to clash with him.
Ying Fengyi frowned. This illusory world was clearly different from the cultivation world she knew. It was like the background of Blue Star during the spiritual revival. But why could Jiang He use spiritual power and even have a higher cultivation level than her?
In her primordial spirit state, Ying Fengyi's cultivation had only reached the Nascent Soul stage, so she hurriedly dodged.
Ying Fengyi dodged Jiang He's pursuit several times, but with each intensified attack and relentless moves from Jiang He, she keenly sensed something was wrong. Jiang He's moves were too overpowered; if Jiang He wanted to, she could completely snipe her within range.
Ying Fengyi pursed her lips, a hint of surprise in her smile:
"Improving my cultivation in my illusion is interesting."
Jiang He met Ying Fengyi's surprised expression and shook her head:
"The rules of the world are beneath my feet; you are the intruder."
