"Or saying 'Eighteen Desire Illusionary Realms' is somewhat biased."

Lin Yan looked up and gazed out the window at the distant view, where a magnificent palace pierced the clouds, shrouded in a misty aura that made it difficult to discern its contents.

"Desires are endless, and 'love' is just one of them. If possible, I would like to see the top floor of this 'Illusionary Palace'. I wonder if the Illusionary King can grant my request?" Lin Yan said softly.

The very top floor of the Illusionary Palace!

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the three disciples of the Illusionary King changed slightly.

The Illusionary Palace has 361 floors, each decorated by the Illusionary King himself. The most famous of these is the "Eighteen Desire Illusionary Realms," which ranges from the 101st to the 118th floor, from shallow to deep. There is also the "Thirty-two Dream Illusions," and so on, each with its own unique features.

As for the top floor of the Illusionary Palace...

That is, the 361st floor represents the highest level of the Illusionary King's spiritual attainment, which contains infinite variations!

Achieving great success as an illusionist is extremely difficult, but once successful, it is terrifying.

Normally, Peak Feng Wang is proficient in illusions and Soul Attack poses a threat level comparable to Feng Wang Limit.

The Illusionary King's Law Comprehension was not particularly profound; he could only pass the 19th level of the Tongtian Bridge, which was merely the High-class Feng Wang being. Even though the Life Level of the Demon Clan was four times that of the Chimei Race, and their Immortal Divine Body were still above the Peak Feng Wang, they could not possibly possess such a revered status.

But!

Her will is extremely strong, comparable to that of Universe Venerable, and she has a very profound understanding of human nature, reaching an equally high level in her state of mind!

A high level of spiritual attainment allows one to easily resist illusions, pressure, Soul Attack, and so on. However, when used to create illusions, it also makes one more prone to getting lost, which is incredibly terrifying.

That's why the Illusionary King can be called one of the most terrifying beings among the Feng Wang level Immortal.

Lin Yan also took this into consideration, which is why he decided to follow the "Illusion Warrior Path" route when creating the second form of "Ten Directions Annihilation" to make full use of his own advantages.

Over the years, he has cultivated the "Six Desires" of the first volume of "The Heavenly Demon Illusion" to its extreme, and is currently cultivating the "Seven Emotions" of the second volume. The mystery of these two volumes lies in exhausting emotions and desires.

"You are Invincible Feng Wang, and I know that in terms of strength, I am far inferior to you." The Illusionary King frowned slightly, his eyes flashing like lightning. "But this is Virtual Universe, where there are no great treasures. All we can rely on is pure willpower, Law Comprehension, and secret techniques. Do you really want to make a trip to the Illusionary Palace?"

Her captivating purple eyes looked at Lin Yan, with a hint of arrogance in them.

There is no doubt that King Xuanyuan Invincible Feng Wang!

However, the combat power that can reach this level is largely based on powerful treasures. There are no such things in the Virtual Universe, so one can only rely on one's own strength.

Lin Yan has only cultivated for three thousand years. It's one thing that his Law Comprehension is heaven-defying, but he has also created powerful Combat Secret Technique. Could it be that his willpower and Soul Defense Secret Technique are also so heaven-defying?

It might be one thing for someone else, but for me, it's simply impossible.

When it comes to illusion magic, the Illusionary King has never lacked confidence.

"Of course," Lin Yan said with a smile.

To be honest, he was really curious about the top floor of this Illusionary Palace.

This is not an illusion of the Illusionary Sea after all. It contains the Consciousness Pressure of a powerful, Feng Wang Immortal God. It has various changes and even Soul Attack, and should not be underestimated.

Certainly...

He would be interested largely because this is Virtual Universe. In the Reality Universe, even the Soul Attack and illusions of Universe Venerable would not pose any threat to Lin Yan.

In reality, he possesses Soul Supreme Treasure, an extremely powerful Immortal Plant Lifeform form, and even the Black Phoenix Armor can weaken 90% of Soul Attack!

In the Virtual Universe, Lin Yan only used the Virtual Universe Network connection system to collect the aura and pressure of the Immortal Plant Lifeform after it possessed him. On the surface, there was no flaw, but in reality, it was still just Lin Yan's own consciousness!

The key point is that cultivation is not something that can be done behind closed doors. The illusion techniques that the Illusionary King studied had many similarities with his own, which is why Lin Yan couldn't help but be excited.

"Why not?" Illusionary King chuckled softly. "Since King Xuanyuan wishes to see it for himself, I will do my utmost!"

She was still somewhat annoyed, and the fact that this young King Xuanyuan wanted to break into the top floor of the Illusionary Palace suited her perfectly.

"It would be my honor," Lin Yan said with a smile.

Moment.

The "Illusionary Palace" is located within the Palace Cluster the Illusionary Palace.

The group walked along the corridor, enveloped in a misty atmosphere, as if walking on clouds, and appeared at the top floor.

The Illusionary King looked at Lin Yan and gently pointed to the palace gate in front of him. "This is the 361st floor hall, which is also an illusion I created by combining various desires. You only need to walk through this hall gate."

"Okay." Lin Yan smiled slightly.

Whoosh!

He took a step and was already inside the palace gate.

Lin Xiao and the others looked on curiously, trying to see what was happening inside the hall, but the entire hall was dark and blurry, and they couldn't see what was happening inside with the naked eye.

Then look at the Illusionary King.

Her expression darkened slightly, and she stared intently into the hall.

What will the outcome be?

They couldn't help but have this thought in mind.

Inside the Mu Xing Divine Palace, Lin Yan was listening to a lecture Mu Xing Country Lord.

On Earth, Wen Zhi'an looked anxious as he told Lin Du that he had encountered misfortune during his cosmic trials.

In the Illusionary Palace, a purple-haired woman used various allure techniques to lure people closer, and the world seemed to fall into a state of debauchery.

On the Outer Domain Battlefield, a flurry of fists struck, killing the King Fatefall.

In the Cosmic Secret Realm, he was assassinated by Alien Race and perished.

From the moment Lin Yan stepped into the hall, endless illusions began to unfold.

"Every living being has desires," the Illusionary King murmured to himself. "Does he want longevity and Eternal Existence? Does he want to be high above and control the lives of thousands? Does he want a beautiful wife? Does he want his family to live well? Or does he want to become a true powerhouse?"

"Desire."

"It is the source of progress in life."

"A genius who became Invincible Feng Wang in such a short time, unparalleled in the universe, your path to becoming a strongman, your path of cultivation, can you really transcend these desires?"

She stared intently into the hall.

She doesn't believe it!

She couldn't believe that a young man who had only cultivated for three thousand years could have achieved so much glory and praise, and had experienced so much brilliance. Someone who had had such a smooth life could still see the true nature of desire, be unaffected by so many illusions, and break through her ultimate illusion!

"Impossible!" A hint of shock flashed across the eyes of the Illusionary King.

Boom!

The hall on the 361st floor suddenly shook, then calmed down.

A handsome young man in purple armor, with a gentle smile on his face and eyes that seemed to contain the Infinite Universe, stepped out of the threshold and into the hall.

He didn't speak, but instead looked up at the sky.

Looking at the sun in this Virtual Universe, Lin Yan felt as if he had been transported to another world.

Each illusion is like a life, and in a short period of time, he seems to have experienced countless reincarnations.

The Illusionary King stared at him in disbelief.

Without any powerful treasures, Divine Power Burning, or even any resistance, Lin Yan's will was terrifyingly firm, and he never truly succumbed to these illusions that exhausted his desires.

The Illusionary King stared at Lin Yan, a strange light flashing in his purple eyes. "You have surprised me, unlike anything I have ever seen before."

"Perhaps the you that has shocked countless people is still not the real you, Lin Yan. I have never looked forward to seeing someone's future as much as I do now." The Illusionary King sighed softly, his purple eyes gleaming.

"It's alright," Lin Yan smiled.

In fact, if Lin Yan had chosen some means of resistance, he could have more easily broken through the illusion set up by the Illusionary King. However, he did not. Instead, he truly experienced everything in the illusion without any resistance. His mind was like a mirror, clearly reflecting all his own minor shortcomings.

No matter how much change occurs, I have only one heart.

Yet this heart, though small, is boundless and ethereal, encompassing the Infinite Universe!

In this illusion, endless years pass, filled with killing, the desire for money, beauty, and power—all desires and wills remain unaffected.

This is the third level of self-cultivation—

The Mind Embraces All, Mind Embraces All!

If "Clear Mind, See Nature" means my My Heart Is a Blade as a knife, extremely strong and unyielding, and "Yin Yang Harmony Unity of Heaven and Man and man" means the balance of strength and gentleness, the harmony of yin and yang, then "Mind Embraces All" means that no matter how strong the pressure, it can be contained; my My Heart is Limitless.

Before Lin Yan broke through to the World Master, he had already achieved perfection in "Unity of Heaven and Man". However, although he had grasped some of the mysteries of the third level, he had not been able to break through it for a long time.

Until this opportunity, through the understanding of human nature gained by the Eternal Existence, the Illusionary King, over countless years, he truly took this step and mastered the Last Kind of the three realms of cultivating the mind.

Even if one has just entered this realm, it will take a long time to truly achieve perfection, but one's skills in resisting pressure, illusions, Soul Attack, and many other aspects will become more advanced.

Originally, she only came for her son Lin Xiao, but she never expected to gain so much.

"Hmm." The Illusionary King gave him a deep look, then his body vanished into thin air with a whoosh.

Lin Yan's gaze swept over Lin Xiao and the others, and he saw that they were all somewhat bewildered, their expressions a mixture of admiration and awe.

Given the reputation of the King Xuanyuan, it's understandable and acceptable that he could break through the illusion of the Illusionary King.

But--

They knew the Illusionary King's temper all too well; it was notoriously eccentric.

She clearly wouldn't allow any man to touch her, yet she was always so alluring and seductive; she clearly had a violent and cruel temper, yet she always pretended to be gentle.

For the Illusionary King, with her eccentric temperament, to say such a thing is truly unprecedented. What kind of heaven-defying act could possibly convince her?

With this matter resolved, Lin Yan's consciousness departed from the Virtual Universe.

But this incident actually stirred up a storm.

The fact that the Illusionary King was obstructing the union of the peerless genius Lin Xiao and his disciple had already garnered much attention within the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance. The sudden silence of this powerful, Feng Wang Immortal God undoubtedly raises curiosity about the reasons behind it.

Thus...

The bombshell news that Lin Xiao was the King Xuanyuan quickly spread throughout the Immortal God Headquarters of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, "Source Spirit Island"!

"What--"

"The human super-strongman 'King Xuanyuan' who killed the Mechanical race's King Fatefall some time ago is actually the father of Lin Xiao, that dazzling genius of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance?"

"Could this King Xuanyuan also be from our Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, or perhaps a personal disciple of some cosmic lord?"

"Could it be the Lord Huang Jian?"

"I checked Lin Xiao's information; he was recommended Special Elite Training Camp by the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance Ganwu Branch..."

"The Ganwu Branch... could it be... could it be..."

"Oh my god."

"That King Xuanyuan is Lin Yan! Ganwu Universe Country, Lin Xiao, King Xuanyuan... The facts are obvious, there is only one possibility!"

Such a logical relationship is too clear; such a coincidence is impossible.

The King Xuanyuan is none other than Lin Yan!

This news was like a thunderclap out of nowhere, shocking countless powerful individuals. It spread at an astonishing speed, and within half a day, the vast majority of powerful individuals in the human race knew about it.

Throughout Hong Alliance City, no matter where you go, which neighborhood you're in, or which clan you belong to, you can see powerful figures discussing Lin Yan everywhere.

"The King Xuanyuan is actually Lin Yan?"

"What kind of monster is this? He hasn't even been able to take a nap, and he's already become Invincible Feng Wang?"

"Lin Yan, Lin Yan, this genius of the human race is truly terrifying."

"No wonder King Xuanyuan's famous battle was killing King Fatefall. Before that, he didn't even have a title of King Rank. I originally thought he hadn't been to the Outer Domain Battlefield much and had been exploring the Cosmic Secret Realm. Now it seems that his strength increased by 100,000 times from the World Master to the immortal, and the burning of his Immortal Divine Body caused another surge, directly allowing him to enter the level of Invincible Feng Wang!"

"His training time is too short! How could he be so strong?"

"I originally thought it would take at least tens of thousands of years for Lin Yan to surpass King Meng Sui and King Seven Swords and become the strongest of the younger generation of human race. But I never expected that it would be settled now!"

"In my opinion, it may not be Lin Yan, but a Super genius that the human race has been hiding. It's just that the human race deliberately misled people into believing it Lin Yan, in order to dispel the attention of the Alien Race."

"You're talking nonsense! What kind of Super genius among the human race is qualified to have an incredible genius like Lin Yan take the blame for him? The facts are obvious, and you still don't believe it!"

Compared to the previous news of King Xuanyuan killing King Fatefall, which shocked countless powerful figures, this news is spreading even more wildly.

After all, compared to the rise to fame of the King Xuanyuan, the name Lin Yan was much more deeply ingrained in people's minds. Long ago, the various legends that circulated had already left an indelible impression on everyone.

Chaos City has conquered the 10th level of the Tongtian Bridge in 30 years!

Peak Ultimate Skill technique at Cosmic level, I crossed the 15th level of the Tongtian Bridge!

The Zerg Alliance's attempt to assassinate High-class Universe Venerable failed!

His growth was filled with unimaginable things, earning him high hopes from the human race and causing great anxiety among powerful Alien Race.

Now... a new and exciting chapter has been added to this legend!

King Xuanyuan, Lin Yan!

No longer the weak and powerless genius he once was, he has begun to grow claws and show his true colors!

In the vast universe, among Myriad Races, unless they are completely isolated from the world, they all learn of the news of "King Xuanyuan" as quickly as possible. After so many years of silence, his name has once again spread throughout the entire universe!

Myriad Races know that this genius, nurtured by humanity, is so insane that it chills people to the bone.

Even Lin Yan himself was astonished to see that a single message he sent out could cause such a huge uproar.

However, considering that he had already mastered the third level, "Mind Embraces All," and possessed the Clone Secret Technique, the difficulty of enslaving his soul was already unbelievably high, and he immediately calmed down.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he selected a location and architectural style on Thunder Island, officially bidding farewell to his identity His Highness Lin Yan of the Original Secret Realm, and building his own palace on Thunder Island.

The Virtual Universe automatically created a huge Palace Cluster for him, and from then on, King Xuanyuan became Lin Yan's new code name.

And immediately after he built the Thunder Island Palace, he received his first visitor.

Outside the palace.

The burly ape-man clad in golden armor, accompanied by a gaunt man in white robes with his eyes closed, stared in disbelief at the Palace Cluster that had suddenly sprung up from the ground.

He refused when he heard the news.

The last time I saw him, he was still my beloved disciple "Luo Feng's" good brother, and now he has become the famous King Xuanyuan!

Who would believe that!

I, Zhen Yan, am completely dumbfounded!

Everyone else Invincible Feng Wang, so why are you so outstanding?
