This Illusion Realm Is a Bit Too Ordinary

Zhong Yi entered the Illusion Realm at once.

"Plants vs. Zombies? What the hell is that?"

Staring at the few artistic-looking words that had suddenly appeared in the space before him, he was utterly dumbfounded.

When he had played Demonic Path Escape, Zhong Yi had already found it strange.

None of the Spirit Cloud Sect's Illusion Realm trials were like Lu Ze's, where every single one needed a special name.

And that name always had to flash once at the beginning.

"Another Illusion Realm whose meaning can't be understood from the name alone..."

Zhong Yi remarked.

The words vanished, and a massive tombstone appeared before him.

There were four squares on the tombstone.

The first square read: Adventure Mode.

The remaining three were gray question marks.

The tombstone stretched hundreds of meters into the distance. Beyond it, he could see a farmhouse and a stretch of farmland.

"Is this... the Home Page?"

Zhong Yi muttered, stroking his chin.

After being initiated by Demonic Path Escape, the Spirit Cloud Sect disciples had become rather quick to accept strange terms.

Zhong Yi was clever, and he soon discovered that he could use his Spiritual Sense to select the squares on the tombstone.

He locked onto Adventure Mode, preparing to enter.

Suddenly, a green, rotting hand stretched out from the ground before the tombstone, followed by a comical howl.

"...Junior Brother Lu really has a twisted sense of humor."

Zhong Yi shook his head with a smile and entered the game.

The scene shifted.

His body appeared in midair.

Zhong Yi twisted his body and found that it was quite nimble. He could fly freely through the sky.

Below him was a stretch of uncultivated wasteland.

Not far beyond it, a group of greenish, rotting zombies wandered about with their claws raised.

"These zombies look so strange. Why do they seem a little dim-witted...?"

Zhong Yi could not help but complain.

Naturally, people in this world had no idea what a cartoon style or a realistic style was.

They simply found these zombies inexplicably amusing.

"Could this Illusion Realm trial be about using a sword from the sky to chop the zombies below? That's way too easy..."

Zhong Yi muttered to himself.

Just then, several large lines of text slowly drifted across the sky:

You are an ordinary man with some skill in swordsmanship, whose family has farmed for generations.

Recently, you discovered that the farmland at your home had been cultivated by spiritual energy and was gradually transforming into a Spirit Field.

All sorts of fruits and plants will continuously fall from the sky. Once they strike the Spirit Field, they will damage it.

To protect the Spirit Field, you must use the sword in your hand to clear away the fruits and plants in the sky.

As soon as the introduction ended, fruits began flying continuously through the sky.

Though Zhong Yi's swordsmanship was not outstanding, that was only relative.

A challenge of this difficulty was effortless for him.

With a sweep of his sword, apples, watermelons, bananas, and all sorts of other fruits burst into jam with crisp sounds.

"This Illusion Realm... seems a little too ordinary."

Zhong Yi frowned slightly, feeling somewhat regretful.

There were plenty of similar trials in Illusion Realm training, such as cutting fruit with a sword. It was nothing unusual.

Forget cutting fruit.

He had even seen trials involving cutting tofu and strands of hair.

The only unique part was that the crisp sounds and splattering juice when cutting fruit were rather stress-relieving.

But that was not enough to make Zhong Yi think Lu Ze's new Illusion Realm was particularly impressive.

His brow furrowed deeply.

"Looks like Brother Lu is in serious trouble this time..."

On the plaza.

Nearly all the disciples' consciousnesses had entered the Illusion Tower, leaving only a few elders seated in the arena.

They possessed control privileges over the Illusion Tower and could inspect the disciples' cultivation scenes inside at any time.

Scene after scene was projected into the air through a disk-shaped terminal.

At this moment, the disciples had only just entered the illusion.

Watching the disciples either stare blankly at the large words in the air or swing their swords vigorously at fruit, the elders wore rather strange expressions.

"Elder Liu, you are the master of Sword Inquiry Peak. When it comes to the sword, no one knows better than you."

"By your judgment, what level is this illusion?"

As the person in charge of the event, Ding Mingcang was the first to speak.

"Low-grade."

Liu Qingmei gave her assessment bluntly. Her tone was somewhat displeased, clearly showing that she had little faith in Lu Ze's illusion.

"Low-grade? I'd say it's completely childish! How does slicing fruit count as cultivation?"

Lin Qingxuan, the Third Elder of Danqing Peak, had a notoriously fiery temper and immediately began cursing.

"How could this possibly have come from the same person who made 'Demonic Path Escape'? This is simply wasting our sect disciples' time!"

With that, Lin Qingxuan stood up directly. "I have other matters to attend to. Please excuse me."

The other elders also shook their heads and sighed, clearly holding little hope for Lu Ze's illusion as well.

They had originally been looking forward to this, but now they were deeply disappointed.

One by one, the elders found excuses and left.

Only the Grand Elder, Chao Wendao, stared absently at one disciple's illusion scene.

Ding Mingcang was in an excellent mood.

"I thought this brat had some great confidence. He spent a month making this thing?"

"Our dignified Spirit Cloud Sect disciples entered an illusion trial just to slice fruit?"

"Aren't you afraid of becoming a laughingstock if word gets out?"

He sneered at Lu Ze.

Ding Mingcang felt that he had this victory in the bag.

From the scene before him, Lu Ze had clearly exhausted his tricks and had nothing left to offer!

He actually dared to present a fruit-slicing game?

Forget the Spirit Cloud Sect.

Even those ordinary martial arts schools in the streets put far more effort into sword training than this!

Ding Mingcang sneered at Lu Ze.

"Let's see who can protect you this time!?"
