Wish Fulfilled
Beside the Illusionary Reality Domain, the Great Witch Yun Fang examined this wisp of Daoist charm.
He was just as kind-faced and white-haired as ever, and looked very trustworthy.
"Hmm... I'm not sure. This wisp of Daoist charm is very strange, but... it's quite a coincidence. Should you take it to the Illusionary Reality Domain?" Yun Fang said.
"Take it to the Illusionary Reality Domain? What's wrong? Please enlighten me, senior." Li Qi asked, puzzled.
As a rational and well-connected young master of Wushen Mountain, he would definitely ask questions before personally taking any risks. Intelligence advantage is a natural buff for the scions of powerful families.
" Within the Illusionary Reality Domain, wishes come true, and the Daoist essence is the same. Once it's inside, the Daoist essence can create even more phenomena, and perhaps then we'll be able to discern some clues," said the Great Shaman Yun Fang.
Then he suggested, "However, I have duties to perform and cannot go in myself. After you go in, record the strange phenomena caused by the Daoist aura, and then show them to me."
"Thank you, Great Shaman." Li Qi immediately bowed.
The fact that a third-rank expert was willing to help him analyze the situation was already a huge favor. Although Li Qi knew when he arrived that the great Shamanic Human Yun Fang was a kind person and would definitely agree to help him.
This person is a truly kind-hearted person, doing good deeds without seeking anything in return, and always treating the outside world with a kind attitude.
However, Li Qi was still cautious, so he asked in advance, "Then, senior, are there any special requirements for entering the Illusionary Reality Domain? I see so many people outside the Illusionary Reality Domain, but there aren't many inside. Moreover... the aura of the people lying here is similar to that of the Illusionary Reality Domain."
"Illusionary Reality Domain's wish fulfillment... could it be some kind of trap? I hope you can enlighten me, senior, so I can prepare in advance," Li Qi asked.
This is the advantage of a powerful force. If someone were a newcomer without any background, a fifth-rank outside the realm, they would be completely clueless and wandering around like a headless fly.
Li Qi was different; he could genuinely ask his elders for help with anything he didn't understand.
Upon hearing this, the Great Shaman Yun Fang explained, "There is no problem with that. In fact, the wish-fulfilling ability in the Illusionary Reality Domain is unlimited. However, the limitation is... the human imagination itself."
"I would like to hear the details." Li Qi simply bowed again, bending over to listen to the other party's account.
Seeing Li Qi's posture, the Great Shaman Yun Fang said, "For your wishes to come true, you need to be able to truly imagine what you want. You need to understand what it is; otherwise, you can't even imagine it."
"Within the Illusionary Reality Domain, if your cultivation level is higher than your grade, you can directly advance and 'make your wishes come true,' allowing yourself to level up to any grade you can imagine out of thin air. However, you will disappear after you come out, but you can also gain the power of the advancement ahead of time."
"Not to mention Law Treasure, Spiritual Material, or even people. Whatever you can imagine, the Illusionary Reality Domain can turn it into a real thing. If your imagination is enough, you can even have everything in it."
"Therefore, this characteristic is very dangerous. Look at these people lying around. They have all abused this power and ended up hurting themselves. I felt sorry for them, so I took them out and brought them here to recuperate."
"Therefore, since the Illusionary Reality Domain is now within the jurisdiction of the Shaman Path, it is natural to control it. I am here to guard this extraterrestrial wonder to prevent it from being invaded by any special forces."
"So... just as you can see, as long as you control yourself, the Illusionary Reality Domain is a place that is beneficial and harmless."
As the great shaman Yun Fang explained this to Li Qi, he also conjured a light screen in his hand, providing Li Qi with a detailed explanation using both pictures and text.
Li Qi, however, looked rather grim.
This description reminded him of... the He-Who-Transforms-Himself-at-Will Heaven.
Isn't this what the Desire Realm is like?
Seeing Li Qi's face, Yun Fang smiled and said, "It is indeed related to the demonic path. This is why I am stationed here. This place was where the Heavenly Demon and the Buddha fought, and a powerful spiritual cultivator perished here, causing the Dao to collapse within."
"The Spiritual Path..." Li Qi murmured.
He knew that the Great Shaman Yun Fang had taken some large world groups from the Spirit Path, which was why his achievements were praised.
In other words, the Illusionary Reality Domain before us is a special area formed by the mixing of demonic and spiritual paths.
No wonder it was guarded by the Great Shaman Yun Fang.
Because Yun Fang is skilled at dealing with both demonic and spiritual paths, this position is very suitable for him.
"So, all we have to do is take it in and see what unusual phenomena occur?" Li Qi asked.
"Yes, don't worry. You're already at the fifth rank. Guarding your mind is a piece of cake for you. Besides, you have the watchful eye of the Witch God. Right now, you can't manipulate cause and effect, but you can sense reversals. You're actually very safe," the Great Witch Yun Fang said to Li Qi with a smile.
Li Qi pondered... it seems so.
So he nodded. "Please wait a moment, senior. I'll be right back."
Li Qi was also quick; he withdrew his Daoist aura and flew rapidly toward the Illusionary Reality Domain.
He was incredibly fast, and soon arrived at the outer edge of the Illusionary Reality Domain.
True Knowledge Dao Charm had swept across the surroundings.
He saw a person retreat from the Illusionary Reality Domain in terror.
He was a seventh-grade cultivator, a typical humanoid being, male, and dressed very similarly to Tianxia. He was probably attracted by the phrase "wish fulfillment".
With just a glance, he was already able to tell what the other person had gone through.
He felt terrified and frightened because, while he was enjoying the wonderful feeling of his wishes coming true inside, a thought suddenly popped into his head, "What would happen if I died in here?"
The moment this thought crossed his mind, his inner world collapsed. In his panic, he was overwhelmed by a flood of distracting thoughts, and he was almost completely buried by them.
Fortunately, he was only a seventh-rank official, and he managed to escape with great difficulty.
However, the inner world has collapsed and is dying.
"That really is typical." Li Qi shook his head, thinking that killing himself after achieving his wish was indeed a classic move.
With that thought in mind, Li Qi stepped into the Illusionary Reality Domain.
He shut down his thinking, turning himself into a completely single-threaded individual, shutting out all distractions and wild thoughts except for basic thinking and observation.
For someone of the fifth rank, this is not difficult to do.
So, nothing happened the moment I entered.
However, Li Qi still felt a strong aura of the Great Dao enveloping him!
"The Demonic Path, and also, the Spiritual Path..." Li Qi sensed the aura of the Illusionary Reality Domain and quickly understood the situation here.
Two great paths... no, these paths are incomplete; according to classification, they should be called Daoist rhythms.
However, this Daoist aura was too powerful and too immense, so it spread out and eventually manifested as a 'spectacle beyond the realm'.
It's terrifying that just two... two strands of Daoist energy could manifest such a massive extraterrestrial spectacle.
We cannot use the term "thread," as these two are far too enormous, and their Divine Ability are also incredibly vast.
But for Li Qi, this was rather strange.
After all, this feeling was truly wondrous, and Li Qi controlled his thoughts, maintaining a state of focused attention.
To be honest, this is not an easy task, but it's not too bad for a fifth-rank official, since they often encounter situations that require them to concentrate.
It's like drawing a sketch in your mind. First, you get the general outline, then you slowly shape it, and then you add the details. You can't make the slightest mistake at any step, otherwise reality will follow your mind and make the same mistake. If you think one wrong step, like involuntarily imagining what happens after you die, then you really will die.
I racked my brains and did my best to maintain my current posture, lest I create something strange and cause my death because of a moment of wild thinking.
However... Li Qi is the type with a lot of distracting thoughts and likes to think about all sorts of things.
A thought suddenly occurred to him: what if an ordinary person were here...?
Then, the next moment, an ordinary person suddenly appeared next to him.
This person...?
But the next moment, Li Qi noticed that the man was looking at Li Qi in horror, seemingly unaware of why he was there!
Soon, because there was no air outside the realm, he, as an ordinary person, immediately entered a state of suffocation.
He took a deep breath.
Because ordinary people are used to having air around them, this passive 'imagination' makes it seem as if air appears out of thin air around them.
Li Qi simply stared at this 'imaginary creation' and watched his performance.
But after a while, Li Qi realized that this person was stuck there, unable to leave. He was completely absorbed in maintaining his own imagination, unable to spare any attention. In this way, he could see nothing, hear nothing, feel nothing, and all his attention was focused on how to use his imagination to save his own life...
But this can't last long.
For ordinary people, it is inevitable to get distracted.
This is something that not everyone can do... Even Li Qi sometimes thinks about other things, just like the person in front of him is someone he imagined.
However, indulging in wild thoughts can lead to unpredictable results.
Li Qi watched as this mortal's body was suddenly destroyed by his imagination, or transformed into something else, or caused other things to appear around him. Most of these were meaningless and incomprehensible remnants, such as a stool with seven or eight legs, clothes that were completely unwearable... or rags, as well as various streams of water, or spheres of light and the like.
It's amazing how a person's chaotic thoughts in a moment of panic manifest in reality. They are so messy, yet somehow interesting.
Most of these things are not dangerous, but some, even a tiny bit of them, can take a person's life.
In the Illusionary Reality Domain, imagination and consciousness are reality.
This person kept switching between these processes: he kept getting distracted, then realizing he was distracted, then quickly waking up, and then barely managing to focus his attention back on building his body. He didn't even have the leisure to control his body's movements.
It is absolutely impossible for humans to be completely focused, even for a second.
East, South, West, North.
Up, down, left, right.
These definitions are meaningless here; all sense of direction disappears, and everyone decides which way is "below" according to their own ideas.
After observing for a while, Li Qi even saw that the ground beneath the other party's feet had appeared, and stars began to appear in the sky not far away—they were fixed stars.
A mortal created a star using only his imagination.
But that mortal was clearly about to give out.
Li Qi thought for a moment, then reached out, and an invisible force surged forth, pulling the mortal back and attempting to bring him out of the Illusionary Reality Domain.
He left the Illusionary Reality Domain alive.
But... in the very instant he left, he vanished.
With his disappearance, the stars, continents, and even all the strange and wonderful things that appeared based on his imagination also vanished.
"...He can imagine even newer things from what he can imagine, that's really something." Li Qi shook his head, stopping his thoughts.
His mind began to stir, searching through all his thoughts, then extinguishing those he didn't need, keeping his mind pure.
Then, I continued to work diligently.
Li Qi handed over the Daoist charm in his hand.
According to the Great Shaman Yun Fang, Daoist rhyme, which possesses certain inherent power, can also cause strange phenomena in the Illusionary Reality Domain, similar to 'imagination'.
As expected, after this wisp of Daoist charm appeared, strange phenomena suddenly arose in the Illusionary Reality Domain!
The black vortex began to spread and devour!
An unbelievable erosion begins, leading all things to their doom!
Destroy, destroy, destroy everything!
Almost instantly, Li Qi was engulfed by the strange phenomena brought about by the Daoist aura.
In an instant, nearly one-third of Li Qi's inner world was eroded and destroyed!
But Li Qi acted very quickly. He immediately used his imagination to heal his injuries, and sure enough, he imagined his injuries were healed and perfectly imagined himself in perfect condition, so his injuries were immediately restored.
The next moment, a multitude of thoughts popped into Li Qi's mind, all sorts of things, all sorts of fifth-grade Law Treasure, as if they were being scattered out of nowhere, numbering in the hundreds of millions!
These were all Li Qi's 'imagination', and thus, they became reality.
As for Law Treasure of the fourth rank or higher, Li Qi couldn't imagine them, so naturally he couldn't create them.
Countless fifth-grade Law Treasure surged forth, rushing towards the ever-spreading black mist.
The torrent of Law Treasure formed an encirclement, firmly blocking the devouring black energy.
No Law Treasure could withstand it even for a moment; every second, tens of millions of magical Law Treasure were devoured, submerged, and disappeared.
These were all genuine fifth-grade Law Treasure! And just like that, they vanished.
If this black aura were to appear outside, what kind of person could possibly stop it?
Li Qi continued to create countless Law Treasure through his imagination to lock in the black energy, while observing these strange phenomena.
This is what the Great Shaman Yun Fang needs. After observing and recording it, he will hand it over to the Great Shaman Yun Fang to provide clues to the other party.
At this point, you can also observe it yourself.
Thinking this, Li Qi True Knowledge Dao Charm and was preparing to carefully observe the black energy brought about by it.
True Knowledge Dao Charm.
The next instant, Li Qi's brain exploded with a bang!
The True Knowledge Dao Charm, together with the Death Demon Dao Charm, unfolds at this moment.
The sheer volume of information completely overwhelmed Li Qi's brain!
Looking at it, its popularity has actually decreased.
I guess I still can't get the hang of Qidian. Oh well, let's just leave it at that and see how things go.
