"Who are you?"
Han Yi's tone was slightly cold, without any expression.
The female cultivator put away her unwillingness and lowered her head. "Junior Mu Yao is monk Clear River Mu Clan."
Han Yi frowned, Clear River Mu Clan, this statement should be the statement of the Shu Capital cultivating family. He was looking for the Fu Clan before and also visited Clear River Ward.
"Let me ask you, do you know what those shadow monsters were?"
Mu Yao was stunned for a moment, raised his head, glanced at Han Yi with a puzzled expression and said, "Senior, don't you know?"
"Hmph, if I knew, why would I need to ask you?" Han Yi hummed, his tone even colder, and there was a hint of the middle stage of foundation building, which made Mu Yao's face change drastically.
"Senior, please forgive me."
"Those shadow monsters just now are Void Beast, transformed from spiritual beings swallowed by the virtual realm."
"Void Beast, virtual realm?" Han Yi was confused in his heart.
Seeing Han Yi's doubts, Mu Yao explained quickly and concisely, and then Han Yi suddenly understood.
Mirage Immortal Realm, which is where Han Yi is now, is a world heading towards death, and the place where it falls is the virtual realm.
The virtual realm is not just a world, but a realm of light and monsters Lu Li.
Time and space, in the virtual realm, are constantly changing and changing in an extremely chaotic form.
It is precisely because of the proximity to the virtual realm that Mirage Immortal Realm was affected and the time in the real world is inconsistent. In the Mirage Immortal Realm, several years have passed, even more than ten years, and Jade Balance Realm has only passed three breaths.
This is also the origin of the term "illusion".
And Black Mist Space is not called Black Mist Space, but is called the Virtual Domain Invasion Zone.
This kind of invasion area appears randomly in the Mirage Immortal Realm. In fact, this is the partial virtualization of the Mirage Immortal Realm. In the invasion area, there will be Void Beast wandering around. As long as it is not a spiritual object, Void Beast cannot touch the things in the illusion. It looks like an illusion. This is also one of the reasons for the name of the illusion.
but.
If you attack Void Beast, it is equivalent to a brief intersection between two worlds.
Then, all Void Beast in the attack area will be alerted, and the attacker will also be exposed to Void Beast. If the attacker is killed, his body, soul, spells, magic weapons, and spiritual objects in the storage bag will fall into the virtual realm, and after some wonderful changes, he will become a new Void Beast.
If Void Beast is killed, the spiritual object that transformed into Void Beast will be dropped.
but.
No matter what, as long as the virtual domain invasion zone appears, this place will begin to intersect with the virtual domain. Even if the virtual domain invasion zone temporarily dissipates, it will quickly attract more and more powerful Void Beast to re-form a larger invasion zone.
In other words, this place is no longer safe.
Han Yi raised his eyebrows. He always felt that the female cultivator in front of him was hiding the key and that her thoughts were not pure.
However, he is not an evil cultivator and will not directly kill people or use Soul Search techniques.
Mu Yao saw Han Yi thinking deeply, his eyes moved slightly, and then he prompted.
"Senior, actually, in the Mirage Immortal Realm, there are two ways to obtain spiritual objects. One is to kill Void Beast, and the other is to explore the world and obtain spiritual objects from some hidden places."
"The first type is to kill Void Beast. It is too dangerous. Generally, the strength of Void Beast is equivalent to that of the monks in the place where they appear. However, with a large number of Void Beast, it is difficult for the monks to survive under the siege of tens, hundreds, or even tens of thousands of Void Beast."
"The second type is much safer. Mirage Immortal Realm's predecessor was also a world of immortality cultivation, with a large sect and aristocratic families. If you can enter the secret place of a large sect or aristocratic family, Spirit Stone can obtain magical weapons, magic weapons, and heaven-defying magic.
"This junior is from the side of the Mu family. Not long ago, by chance, I got a book of notes. The owner of the notes is a monk who entered Mirage Immortal Illusion Realm a hundred years ago. That monk discovered a large secret place, and there was no danger after exploring it. However, before he could take away many spiritual objects, he was teleported away, regretting his life."
"That volume of notes has been burned by the junior, but the contents and the map are all in the junior's head. The junior can take the senior there."
Mu Yao lowered his head, and a cold light flashed past in his unseen eyes.
What puzzled her was.
Han Yi didn't respond for a long time.
"Senior?"
She quietly raised her head, but saw that there was no one in front of her. The foundation-building expert who was standing just now seemed like a dream, which made her stunned for a while.
"I..."
other side.
Han Yi After leaving the courtyard where he temporarily settled, he walked forward along the street.
Although he knew that Mu Yao hid some key, he did not want to pursue it. The presence of Void Beast in that courtyard also meant that it was not safe, so he simply left and found a place to retreat.
Instead of killing Void Beast, it is better to practice.
As for what Mu Yao said.
There may be many spiritual beings in this world, but the dangers among them are certainly not weak.
Just like Myriad Star Sea, Han Yi didn't want to get too involved. He was self-aware. With his own strength, he could bully the foundation-building monks, but if he met the Golden Core monks, he would have no choice but to escape.
If he runs around and encounters the Wenxiang Cult Golden Core Hall Master who was chasing him before, wouldn't it be like a wolf entering a tiger's mouth.
And if he could practice to the late stage of foundation building, Han Yi was confident that he would be able to escape with his life if he faced that monk again.
That's right.
Even if he was promoted to the late stage of foundation building, he didn't have the confidence to fight against Golden Core.
Strictly speaking, foundation building is the first level of immortality. It is laying the foundation that is called foundation building.
As for Golden Core monk, the spiritual sea condensed Golden Core, and he is already a Golden Core spiritual sea creature. My destiny is up to me. This is a key step to break away from "human" and turn to "immortal".
Therefore, foundation-building monks can only fly with weapons, but monk Golden Core already relies on the spiritual sea Golden Core, which can escape the gravity of the earth and fly into the sky and escape from the earth.
Building the foundation to advance to Golden Core is much more difficult than practicing Qi to advance to Golden Core.
Han Yi naturally has no confidence that he can kill Golden Core with Foundation Establishment. Unless he is promoted to the peak of Foundation Establishment, or Golden Core takes half a step, there is only a slight possibility.
Thoughts flickered, Han Yi's body had stopped.
Not far in front of him, a huge black curtain suddenly appeared. The black curtain was the Black Mist Space that Han Yi had experienced not long ago, which was the virtual domain invasion area.
Han Yi paused without hesitation, turned around and left. After leaving the invasion area far away, he slowed down again, wanting to find a safe area to practice again.
but.
Suddenly, he paused and frowned. He raised his right hand and saw a black mark on the back of his right hand.
This mark is only the size of a fingernail and looks like an irregular snowflake. However, this snowflake is black and is exactly the same color as Void Beast.
"When." Han Yi was shocked.
He was very sure that there was absolutely no such thing on the back of his palm before, at least before entering Mirage Immortal Illusion Realm, because before that, he met Li Yuanyi and experienced the arrival of strange existences. After returning to Shu Capital, he checked his body just in case. At that time, there was no such mark on the back of his palm.
It is absolutely impossible to say that he appeared while being chased by monk Golden Core. He had been running away, and the other party had no chance to cast spells on him.
The only possibility is that it appeared after entering Mirage Immortal Realm, especially after killing those shadow monsters in the invasion area just now, that is, Void Beast.
Han Yi Soul carefully explored the black mark on his right hand, only to find that the mark did not exist, or in other words, he did not exist in the perception of the mind and could only be seen with the naked eye.
After being stunned for a moment, Han Yi's face became more solemn. He covered his left hand with his right hand, and his mana surged out, wanting to use his mana to explore what this mark was.
At the moment when mana poured into the mark.
The surrounding environment suddenly changed in light and shadow. Han Yi felt like he was falling, falling, and falling. The moment of falling seemed to be stretched, but in his consciousness, it seemed like it was just a moment.
This sense of time dislocation made him feel uncomfortable even though he was already in the middle stage of foundation building.
brush!
The feeling of falling disappears and the light and shadow are fixed.
Han Yi was suddenly startled.
At this moment, I was in a strange place. No, I couldn't say it was strange. I could only say that it was very different from before.
The scene within a hundred meters is exactly the same as before the fall, but the scene a hundred meters away and within a hundred meters seem to have been forced together, with a sense of fracture.
It was as if he was at the Mirage Immortal Realm just now, and things within a hundred meters of him as the center fell directly into another world and squeezed into somewhere in this world.
A hundred meters away is an abandoned palace. The palace is not small, similar to the Azure Dragon Palace in the Mystic Pill Sect and Azure Dragon Peak.
Han Yi looked around vigilantly and found that in addition to the palace a hundred meters in front, there were also several palaces or attics occupying a large area on the left, right and behind, at a distance of a few hundred to a thousand meters.
Judging from the surrounding palace lofts, this should be a certain sect, at least, it used to be a sect.
Han Yi looked at his arm and found that the black mark on his arm that looked like an irregular snowflake had expanded in a circle at this moment.
"It is assumed that the black mark was caused by me killing Void Beast."
"Moreover, in the area of 100 meters around me, as I fell into this world, the marks became larger."
"Based on what the female cultivator named Mu Yao said before, could it be that what I fell into now is the virtual realm?"
Thoughts were floating in Han Yi's mind. However, he didn't know much about the Mirage Immortal Illusion Realm and couldn't gather the truth, so he had to give up. He held Seven-Star Kunwu Sword in his hand and walked cautiously to the side.
The place he went to was not the palace that seemed to have a higher status, but to a relatively shorter tower on the side.
A distance of several hundred meters, Han Yi walked for three minutes. Every step he took was extremely careful, for fear of triggering some formation or restriction.
However, what made him relieved was that when he walked to the door of the tower, he still saw nothing unusual.
Han Yi looked up and saw that half of the plaque on the lintel of the tower was crooked, leaving only two-thirds of it. There were two words on the plaque "Book Collection". He guessed that this should be a library or a library, a library tower or something like that.
but.
There might be skills, clues, etc. in this kind of place. Han Yi felt happy and pushed the door open. Inside the tower, it was already in ruins. Not to mention the magic, except for rubble and broken tiles, there was not even a bookshelf.
However, Han Yi found a corpse, or rather a skeleton, in the corner. On the skull of the skeleton, there was a dagger stuck between the eyebrows.
Han Yi frowned and turned around to leave, but Yu Guang caught a glimpse of something. With a flash of consciousness, he moved the skeleton away. Under the skeleton, there was a jade plate.
This is a photo Jade Butterfly.
Han Yi thought for a while, input mana, and activated Jade Butterfly.
Buzz!
A figure appeared.
The environment where the figure is located is a bit crowded, and there seem to be bookshelves behind it. The recording location of Jade Butterfly does not look the best, the light is a bit blurry, and occasionally shakes.
"My name is Du Rufeng. I am 59 years old. I am the inner deacon of the Pure Truth Sword Sect and have the cultivation level of Qi Refining Layer 9."
"Pure Truth Sword Sect is going to perish, because this world is about to fall into the virtual realm. The sect master has already prepared with many Supreme Elder, direct disciples, elders, etc. to go to the Heavenly Origin Sect and leave this world that is about to fall."
"However, it's hard to say whether we can escape."
Rustling, the light and shadow blurred for a while, and after a brief pause, it started to shake again, facing a face that looked slightly haggard.
"They all left, so fast."
"Hey, but I don't want to leave."
"I was born in the Pure Truth Sword Sect and have been in the Pure Truth Sword Sect for decades. Even if my qualifications are too weak, Qi Refining Layer 9 is my end. However, I have no regrets. Even if I die, I will die here."
"Furthermore, in order not to fall Nine-Layer Void Domain, I will commit suicide in an hour. Only the soul that dies naturally will not be pulled down by the virtual realm."
"To be honest, I don't know why I left this photo Jade Butterfly. Maybe it's because I don't want to."
"But, who knows, this Jade Butterfly will not be discovered anyway, just think of it as the last trace of me left in this world."
With a flick of the brush, the light and shadow dissipated.
Click.
There was a crack in the Jade Butterfly that was left in the photo, and then it was shattered on the spot. This piece of Jade Butterfly had been completely scrapped under the influence of the years.
Han Yi frowned.
The photo taken just now did not contain much useful information, but one thing was captured by Han Yi.
"Nine-Layer Void Domain?"
"So, this virtual realm actually has nine levels, but is the area I fell to now the first level or a deeper level of virtual realm?"
Han Yi is worried in his heart, this Nine-Layer Void Domain sounds extremely dangerous.
In addition, Han Yi thought of another more important question.
If you fall into a deeper virtual realm and lose yourself in the virtual realm, will you not be able to return to the Jade Balance Realm?
In Mystic Immortal Pill Shop, Brother Zhou Su said that 90% of the monks cannot go back after entering Mirage Immortal Illusion Realm. Is it possible that 90% of the monks are unable to go back mainly because they fell deeper into the virtual realm?
Even if he falls into the first level of virtual realm, he will not be able to return to the Jade Balance Realm just like he is now?
Thinking of this, Han Yi felt a chill in his heart. If this was really the case, it would be troublesome.
If he guessed correctly, the black mark on the back of his hand must be the culprit of his fall.
Next, you must not use magic power to stimulate the mark.
Han Yi walked out of the tower and carefully checked the surrounding towers and palaces, but found nothing. All the spiritual objects had long since disappeared, and the rest were all mundane objects.
Han Yi was a little hesitant. Should he continue to expand the search scope, or should he stay here for now.
After a while, he decided to stay for the time being.
However, just when he was about to find an attic to lay out Seven-Star Profound Origin Formation, suddenly, a trace of red light came out of his chest.
Han Yi was slightly startled, and immediately took out the black token leading to the mysterious place with his left hand.
A red light appeared above the token, but it was not strong, as if it was detecting something.
Han Yi didn't dare to pick it up with his right hand because he was afraid that the black mark on his right hand would irritate the token.
but.
Buzz.
The third time the token was taken out, the red light on the token suddenly became brighter, directly wrapping Han Yi, and of course, Han Yi's right hand as well.
Han Yi was shocked, but he controlled it firmly and did not throw it away. This token could activate Mirage Immortal Mountain's fog, which quite saved his life. At this moment, Han Yi chose to believe in this token.
When the red light flourished, the black mark on Han Yi's right hand was stimulated and suddenly expanded again.
As the black mark expanded, the environment around Han Yi began to flash crazily, the light and shadow changed, and the feeling of falling reappeared.
The feeling of falling disappeared, Han Yi's whole body sank suddenly, and he felt a heavy pressure falling on his body.
He looked up and saw that he was now in front of a black cave.
The door of the cave was ajar, revealing the gap to outsiders. A chaotic and evil aura began to awaken from the cave.
Waiting for Han Yi to take action.
Buzz.
Before the red light dissipated, the black mark on the back of the hand expanded again, and the feeling of falling reappeared.
After falling crazily, Han Yi felt a sweet sensation in his throat and his chest was turbulent, but he resisted the discomfort and nausea and looked forward.
This time, he appeared in front of a wooden house, and it was still raining.
The rain was black, dripping on him and making a sizzling sound. The robe on his body began to smoke and flash red.
The rain was so poisonous that even the robes were corroded.
But Han Yi had no time to pay attention to this. In front of him, the wooden house creaked, and a wrinkled, dry and old arm was placed on the side of the wooden door, and he slowly pushed it forward.
Han Yi His eyes fell on that arm, and his heartbeat was beating wildly uncontrollably, as if he was being severely grabbed by a hand.
The next moment.
The feeling of falling reappears.
Before Han Yi could take a breath, another even weirder scene appeared.
An eye so huge that it took up all the sight was staring at Han Yi.
Han Yi's face changed drastically.
This time the stay was shorter.
Brush it.
The feeling of falling reappears.
Each time is faster than the last, and each time must be fiercer.
Han Yi felt extremely horrified in his heart.
He just learned that there may be nine levels in the virtual realm. This token is preparing to take him down all the way. Is it going to take him to Nine-Layer Void Domain?
Weird caves, withered arms, huge eyes, squirming sand, rolling Blood Sea, the magic mountain of despair...
Repeatedly, Han Yi's body was completely immobile. Even with his extremely firm Daoist heart, his mind at this moment was just a hair away from collapse.
Starting from the second level of the virtual realm, each level down is a more terrifying environment.
Han Yi The black mark on the back of the hand has completely expanded to the entire back of the hand.
Buzz!
Sudden.
The feeling of falling completely disappeared. At this moment, Han Yi couldn't feel his body at all, as if his body didn't exist. No, even his soul didn't exist in the form of a soul.
However, he could feel that there was something in front of him, attracting him to go there.
This is a black bead.
When Han Yi had the concept of "this is a black bead" in his mind.
Buzz.
A terrifying pulling feeling lifted him upwards. This pulling was too fast and too fierce, and his body and soul were shaken violently.
Seriously injured, definitely seriously injured.
Not just the body, but also the soul.
This is also a thought.
Time is short and seems to be very fast, not even a billionth of an instant.
When Han Yi could feel breathing, he hadn't opened his eyes yet.
In an instant, he felt endless pain, both in his body and in his soul.
The moment the pain reached his soul, he completely fainted.
