Innate Illusory Realm

"By the way, you seemed to be in a hurry. What were you planning to do?" Zhang Xuanchen asked.

"Oh dear, look at my brain."

You just startled me.

Ye Xingyun slapped his forehead, looked around warily, and after confirming that no one was around, leaned close to Zhang Xuanchen's ear and whispered:

Seven days ago, I learned about a place called Dream Illusion Lake from a disciple of the Southern Bright Flame Palace.

In the middle of the lake lies a cave abode, an incredibly vast and perilous cave abode, but also a place of countless fortuitous opportunity.

It attracted many cultivators to go there.

However, Dream Illusion Lake is far from here, and it would take at least a month to fly there.

Southern Bright Flame Palace truly lives up to its reputation as Nascent Soul cultivator; it can even transmit messages to its fellow disciples from such a great distance.

I wonder what secret techniques he acquired in actual combat.

We, as Rogue Cultivator your reach.

Hearing this, Zhang Xuanchen shook his head, "If it is really as you say, it will take more than a month to reach the Dream Illusion Lake."

Even the Southern Bright Flame Palace couldn't possibly transmit a message from the Dream Illusion Lake to this place.

It's estimated that the news spread from person to person, passing through several groups of disciples from the Southern Bright Flame Palace before reaching the Southern Bright Flame Palace disciple you mentioned.

Logically speaking, he wouldn't tell you such a confidential information.

At this point, Zhang Xuanchen gave Ye Xingyun a meaningful look.

He needs to figure out a way to control Ye Xingyun.

That way, even if this guy later discovers some of his secrets, he won't dare to reveal them.

It's quite obvious that the secret of killing a disciple of the Southern Bright Flame Palace will likely be enough to get Ye Xingyun under control.

Because this guy is afraid of dying.

Looking into Zhang Xuanchen's eyes, Ye Xingyun sighed inwardly.

As expected, those who become Clan Leader of the Golden Core Family are no pushovers.

Once the seeds of doubt are sown, they cannot be eradicated with just a few words.

Explanations are useless.

"Alas, Brother Chen, please keep this a secret. I will take you to that Mirror Lake and together we will seek fortuitous opportunity."

Is that alright?

Zhang Xuanchen smiled and said, "I will naturally go to the Dream Illusion Lake."

But let's just leave it at that—let's look for fortuitous opportunity together.

Sometimes we have to act separately, and how much fortuitous opportunity we get depends on our own abilities.

You can rest assured about keeping it a secret.

I'm not one to gossip, and besides, given your relationship with my Aunt Hongxi, I would never harm you.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xingyun breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, let's split up then."

Both of them have their own little secrets, and only by acting separately can they fully unleash their potential.

"Without further ado, let's set off immediately."

As expected, at least 30% of the disciples of the Southern Bright Flame Palace have headed to Mirror Lake. If we arrive late, we might not even get a chance to drink the soup.

"Good!"

Zhang Xuanchen had a premonition that the Original Body Fragment that the Xuanjing sensed was in the Dream Illusion Lake!

The verification method is simple: use the Xuanjing) to sense the intensity of the fragment.

If his senses weakened, Zhang Xuanchen would immediately change direction without hesitation!

"Let's go!"

As the sound faded, two streaks of light shot into the sky.

Zhang Xuanchen did not reveal his Early Golden Core stage cultivation to Ye Xingyun; instead, he was at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

Don't ask why it happened so quickly.

Just ask.

Do you know what Wind Spiritual Root is?

Time flies, and twenty days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Along the way, Zhang Xuanchen's eyes were opened to a whole new world.

He clearly doesn't possess any special physical attributes; he's merely an ordinary genius with Triple Spirit Root.

But it can sense danger one after another in advance.

Although it may not always work perfectly, the power of the spider's senses is undeniable.

The two encountered many people during their journey, but chose to take detours to avoid them.

Now, there's no way to avoid it.

Because this place is very close to that so-called Dream Lake, with less than ten days' journey remaining.

It's clear that quite a few people have learned about the fortuitous opportunity in the central cave abode of the Dream Lake.

Besides the disciples of the Southern Bright Flame Palace, there were also disciples from the Azure Moon Palace, the Wei Family, and Heavenly Craft Pavilion.

They were all flying towards Dream Illusion Lake with all their might.

One of the young men, Wei Zhonghe, saw Ye Xingyun and Zhang Xuanchen approaching them with a smile.

"It seems you've received the news as well."

Quick, let's go to Dream Illusion Lake!

Young Master Wushuang and the others have already entered the central cave abode. However, our Heavenly Dragon Sea Domain region does not have as many people as the Vermilion Bird Sea Domain.

But it doesn't matter; how much fortuitous opportunity you get has little to do with the number of people.

It depends on luck and skill.

Let's go, let's lend Young Master Wushuang a hand!

In the past, he would have only felt awe towards Wei Wushuang.

Even if they intended to help, they wouldn't express it so directly like this.

The reason for this was that the Jade Slip list saved his life twice.

Hearing Wei Zhonghe's words, Ye Xingyun was overjoyed.

If only disciples of the Southern Bright Flame Palace were here, his sudden arrival along with Zhang Xuanchen, a Wei Family, would definitely have led to questioning.

They might even be captured on the spot.

But now that we have the Wei Family as a shield, there's nothing to fear.

"Alright! Brother Zhonghe, let's go provide support quickly!"

Zhang Xuanchen chimed in, "Yes, let's hurry and provide support, lest things get complicated."

Before long, they arrived at the Land of Dream Illusion Lake.

What comes into view is a vast expanse of pale purple lake water.

The water ripples with light, radiating Spiritual Resonance.

Occasionally, a small, adorable fish leaps out of the water.

There were about a thousand small boats moored on the shore.

There were no cultivators flying over the lake, which meant that flying was prohibited on the lake.

The only way to reach the center of the lake is by taking a small boat from the lakeside.

However, the scene of monks scrambling to slide or fighting did not occur.

Looking around.

Zhang Xuanchen discovered that there were about seventy or eighty people on the small boat.

They stood there blankly, making no further move.

There were about twenty small boats on the lake.

The people on the small boat were in significantly worse condition than the hundred or so people on the shore.

Their faces all displayed expressions of pain, despair, and pleasure.

"They entered an illusion, and to enter the central cave abode, they must rely on their own willpower to overcome it."

Those on the shore and on the lake were all trapped in the illusion.

"If we cannot get through, we will likely face certain death." In a short time, Xuanjing had already seen through the Dream Illusion Lake.

Zhang Xuanchen asked:

"Can't we just wake them up by force?"

"No.

If forcibly awakened, these people will lose their three souls and six spirits.

They've become mindless, walking corpses.

At this point, Xuanjing's gaze remained fixed on the central cave abode, and he spoke again:

"Brother Chen, the location of the Original Body Fragment is in that cave abode."

You can row directly in; I will protect your soul.

This illusory realm of the Dream Illusion Lake cannot harm you in the slightest.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuanchen's eyes gleamed.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's charge!"

After replying in his mind, Zhang Xuanchen looked at Ye Xingyun and Wei Zhonghe, "You two, I believe you have seen it too."

This Dream Illusion Lake is surrounded by a naturally occurring illusion.

If you believe you have a strong will and powerful Divine Sense, you can give it a try.

If one falls into a hallucination, their life may be in danger.

I believe you can tell from their demeanor that what I'm saying is true...
