The Book of Illusory Worlds' True Self Illusions, a Tenth-Tier Sign-In Reward!

The Flying Ship broke through the Cloud Sea and sailed smoothly in the sky, surrounded by a dazzling starry river and flowing rosy clouds, as if it were traveling in a magnificent painting.

On the bow deck, Li Qingluan stared at the two Qin Wangchuan before her, her red lips parted in surprise. "What is this...?"

Both Qin Wangchuan turned to look at her at the same time, even the curve of their lips was exactly the same.

Both of them were fiddling with the scroll of the "Book of Illusory Worlds" in their hands.

"The Book of Illusory Worlds' little tricks, it seems I was right." The two voices overlapped, echoing slightly, "It's said to weave illusions, but since it involves illusions, it can naturally reflect reality as well."

Now, Qin Wangchuan has a habit of applying what he's learned to other situations.

It's not about rigid learning, but about transforming it into something uniquely his own, according to his own ideas.

Judging from the results, it was a great success.

Li Qingluan blinked, then suddenly reached out and poked Qin Wangchuan's cheek on the right.

The finger passed through without any resistance, and the figure rippled like a reflection in water.

"It's fake," she said softly, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. "Even the Dao Rhyme fluctuations are exactly the same..."

His left hand immediately reached out to the figure on the left, but missed again the moment it touched him.

That "Qin Wangchuan" also turned into specks of light and dissipated.

"I never said there could only be one illusion."

A warm breath suddenly brushed past her ear, and the real Qin Wangchuan was already standing behind her.

Li Qingluan turned around abruptly, her nose nearly colliding with his chest.

"You!" She instinctively took a half step back, only to see the <Book of Illusory Worlds> in Qin Wangchuan's hand gleaming with a faint light. "This isn't a simple illusion..."

Qin Wangchuan closed the book and said with a smile, "By briefly overlapping reality with the illusory image and letting it carry the aura of my True Self, anyone whose cultivation level is not much higher than mine should be affected."

Li Qingluan rolled her eyes at him, but couldn't help but sigh, "It's only been a few days, and you've already mastered the Book of Illusory Worlds to this extent..."

No matter how many times she met him, she was still amazed by Qin Wangchuan's incredible comprehension.

And whether it was her imagination or not, his comprehension was still growing.

But...

Li Qingluan glanced at the <Book of Illusory Worlds> in Qin Wangchuan's hand, sighed helplessly, and leaned against the ship's railing. "It seems the rumors are wrong; this thing has nothing to do with the Void Divine Feather."

"All that work for nothing."

"It seems so, but it wasn't a complete waste of time. This thing might come in handy." Qin Wangchuan closed the book and walked to her side.

The two stood side by side, gazing at the flowing Cloud Sea in the distance.

After a moment of silence, Li Qingluan suddenly spoke, "This time it's peaceful, just the two of us." Her tone was casual, as if she were merely commenting on the weather.

Qin Wangchuan glanced at her sideways. "What, you think there aren't enough people?"

"No, just a sigh..."

Li Qingluan gently tapped the gunwale with her slender fingers, her gaze fixed on the churning Cloud Sea in the distance. "This seems to be the first time the two of us have been alone together."

As soon as the words were spoken, the Flying Ship suddenly became so quiet that one could hear each other breathing.

The rosy clouds cast a faint blush on her fair cheeks, and even the tips of her ears were tinged with a light red.

Qin Wangchuan was slightly taken aback, then chuckled softly.

He turned to the side and saw a strand of hair slip down Li Qingluan's temple, gleaming softly in the morning light.

"Indeed..." Qin Wangchuan's voice unconsciously softened, "Before, he was always with Ye Jianwei or someone else."

"Unconsciously, they have already moved beyond the point where they need an open Dao Protector."

Li Qingluan turned her head, her cool eyes gleaming like amber in the sunlight.

The moment their eyes met, she subconsciously pursed her lips. This subtle movement made Qin Wangchuan notice that she had a light blush on her lips—a rare sight in her usual simple attire.

"Looks like someone dressed up especially for today," Qin Wangchuan joked.

Normally, Li Qingluan would retaliate in kind.

But she was different today.

After staring at him for a while, Li Qingluan finally smiled slightly and said, "Since coming up from the Lower Realm, I feel that you are somewhat different."

"Oh?" Qin Wangchuan asked, his expression unchanged, "Where?"

She shook her head.

I can't quite put my finger on it, but I just feel like you're different.

"You used to be very relaxed, and everything you looked at seemed to give off a lazy vibe."

"But now you... are full of energy, as if you're preparing for something."

After saying that, Li Qingluan paused, her fingertips brushing against a stray strand of hair. "Actually, there's something you can tell me, after all..."

I am your fiancée.

Her tone was slightly teasing, yet also carried a subtle hint of inquiry.

The restrained yet increasingly profound sharpness emanating from Qin Wangchuan, and the occasional heavy feeling that seemed to carry the weight of Myriad Ages in his eyes.

You can fool others, but you can't fool her.

Qin Wangchuan looked up and met her probing gaze.

He suddenly smiled, a smile like a spring breeze across a frozen lake, instantly dispelling the previous solemnity. "It's nothing, it's just that this Immortal Path Journey is unusual, you will encounter some dangers."

Li Qingluan raised an eyebrow, a hint of arrogance flashing in her eyes. "So what if it's dangerous? Do I need you to protect me?"

While she said this with pride, there was a reason behind it.

His cultivation surpassed Qin Wangchuan's by a whole realm, thus fulfilling his previous agreement to always be one step ahead of him in cultivation.

But...

"This time is different..."

Qin Wangchuan's gaze suddenly became deep and distant, as if piercing through Myriad Ages.

His voice was deep and resolute, carrying a certain conviction that transcends River of Time: "I will indeed protect you."

Li Qingluan wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Qin Wangchuan.

"It's alright," he repeated softly, each word seemingly rippling through time and space, "It's alright."

These three words flowed between his lips, carrying an almost fatalistic certainty.

Li Qingluan's heart trembled slightly, and in a daze, she seemed to see Qin Wangchuan from countless different timelines saying the same thing to her—

Past, present, future... countless voices overlapped and ultimately converged to form the real him before our eyes.

"You'll be alright, I promise," Qin Wangchuan said finally, his voice as soft as a sigh, yet as heavy as a thousand pounds.

Li Qingluan felt a sudden tremor in her heart; Qin Wangchuan's words seemed to contain a kind of heaviness that she could not comprehend.

She instinctively clenched her sleeves, a sense of crisis she had never felt before spreading through her heart—as if asking one more question would mean losing him.

"Speaking of which..." she suddenly turned around, her fingertips unconsciously tracing the carvings on the ship's side, "What did you do while you were training in the Lower Realm?"

The topic shift was abrupt, but Qin Wangchuan simply smiled and continued along with her words:

"I became a Talisman Dao Rogue Cultivator, selling talismans in a small town."

"Selling talismans?" Li Qingluan raised an eyebrow, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes.

The Qin Clan Divine Son is selling talismans in the Lower Realm... I'm curious to see what's going on.

"Hmm." A hint of nostalgia appeared in Qin Wangchuan's eyes. "At the beginning, I couldn't even draw the most basic Fire Talisman properly. Even if I sold them, many people came to return them, and I almost ended up sleeping on the streets."

Li Qingluan couldn't help but chuckle, "The dignified Qin Clan Divine Son, actually worries about making a living?"

"The one selling talismans isn't the Qin Clan Divine Son, but a Talisman Dao Rogue Cultivator." Qin Wangchuan shook his head. "There weren't many twists and turns, except he met an interesting child who might become very strong in the future."

"A child?" Li Qingluan raised an eyebrow, keenly catching the key information within, "Boy or girl?"

These words immediately shattered the previous atmosphere.

Sometimes, having a fiancé who is too successful and good-looking can be a problem.

Qin Wangchuan was taken aback at first, then chuckled and shook his head, "Of course it's a man."

"This experience was indeed very interesting; we can continue next time."

"And you?"

This is a question about Li Qingluan's experiences over the past year.

The good light is that Primordial Dragon Yuan, which is by no means something that can be obtained easily.

"It's alright," Li Qingluan said casually, as if she had only gone to the outskirts to pick a flower. "I just went to a few Dragon Lair, checked the Moonlight Ranking, and got first place."

"So that's how the Moonlight Star Soul Ganoderma came about." Qin Wangchuan nodded in understanding.

Li Qingluan's words were simple, but as far as he knew, the Moonlight Ranking was a competition organized by the Moonlight Heavenly Palace.

This force is one of the oldest hidden Dao Lineage the Ten Directions Immortal Court, with a relatively neutral status. Its only highlight is the Moonlight Star Soul Ganoderma it cultivates.

Every thousand years, the Moonflower Immortal Palace holds the "Moonlight Dao Discussion," inviting Prodigy from Heavens and Myriad Realms to participate and compete for the top spot.

The winner will receive this treasure.

'So, Li Qingluan challenged a bunch of Prodigy while I was away?'

What's the deal with those who want to see this?

After a brief silence, Li Qingluan spoke again, her tone becoming serious.

"I've learned a lot this year, and I've also thought about you."

"Rigidity cannot last, nor can gentleness be maintained. Your path is too domineering and lacks flexibility." Li Qingluan pointed out Qin Wangchuan's biggest hidden danger.

"Not contending is not due to weakness, but rather to the virtue of humility and the all-encompassing nature of all things, thus nothing can contend with it. Your sword, unstoppable, is the King's Sword. Yet even a king sometimes needs to understand control and restraint..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Qingluan's red lips parted slightly in surprise again, Qin Wangchuan's fingertips traced a line in the air.

It brings forth a Sword Qi of extremely condensed and freely controlled sword energy, combining strength and gentleness, flowing around the finger without dissipating.

What Li Qingluan said was actually similar to what Qin Wangchuan had realized earlier.

"More power is not always better."

"The most complex things return to the simplest; the greatest effort requires the most meticulous control."

He looked up at Li Qingluan, his eyes sparkling with pleasure. "It seems we're thinking the same thing."

Li Qingluan stared at the Sword Qi that perfectly blended the principles of strength and gentleness, and was first stunned, then smiled.

That smile melted away like ice and snow, even eclipsing the surrounding clouds. "I was overthinking it, you..."

"What's wrong with me?" Qin Wangchuan deliberately raised an eyebrow, flicked his finger, and the Sword Qi suddenly transformed into a butterfly fluttering its wings, landing lightly on Li Qingluan's shoulder.

"You..." Li Qingluan reached out to catch the Sword Qi butterfly, but the moment she touched it, the butterfly's shadow scattered into starlight that lingered around her fingertips. "You always manage to surprise people."

"It seems this Immortal Path won't be boring." Li Qingluan's lips curved into a beautiful smile, filled with anticipation and a hint of competitiveness.

Qin Wangchuan smiled and looked towards the direction of the Immortal Path, his gaze deep. "Yes, it won't be boring."

The Flying Ship continued forward, leaving the clouds and starry sky far behind.

The two on the deck fell silent again, but it was a quiet and tacit understanding that needed no words.

The brief conversation we just had was more valuable than a thousand idle chatter.

They were all calming their minds and refining their skills, preparing themselves for the upcoming, unknown journey to Immortal Path.

In Qin Wangchuan's heart, the chilling Killing Intent, under the brief tranquility and the exhilarating discussion, settled even more coldly and firmly.

But before that...

[Special Mission: A Tiger in the Heart, A Rose in the Hand (Completed!)]

[After defeating many powerful figures in the Ancient Palace, you discovered a very ordinary Jade Dew Pearl Grass in the Ancient Palace. You gradually realized that on the path of cultivation, excessive force leads to breakage, and too much force will cause destruction. A true powerhouse must not only possess the sharpness to shatter mountains and cleave peaks, but also the magnanimity to embrace all things. Please nurture the grass for a year, preparing yourself for your future ascension to the Upper Realm.]

[Task Objective: Bring the Jade Dew Pearl Grass from the Ancient Palace ruins back to the Azure Heaven Holy Land. Nourish it daily with Spiritual Power and record its daily changes.]

[Task Rewards: Simulation Count +6, Origin Source +400.]

[Additional Goal (1): Cultivate grass for two years.]

[Additional Rewards: Special rewards of your choice.]

(Note: This mission takes a long time, and main quests will not refresh during the mission duration!)

[Remaining Simulation Count: 6]

[Current Origin Source: 72.1 times]

This is why Qin Wangchuan didn't simulate or pay attention to the system for a long time.

Because there's no mission at all!

"Jade Dew Pearl Grass is just a common Spirit Grass in Lower Thousand Provinces, its only characteristic being that it is easy to die."

The thought of an unknown disciple in the Lower Realm looking after this thing for him for two years made Qin Wangchuan smile. He made a mental note of it and thought he would find that person later and give him a reward.

You can't expect a horse to run fast without feeding it.

[New mission...]

The system announcement came again, Qin Wangchuan immediately turned it off. He lightly tapped the "[Mysterious Reward Self-Selection]" option on the system Light Screen, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

"It would be best to give them something good, something to make up for the time wasted over the past two years."

[Special Reward Selection Activated][Please choose one of the following three options]

[One: Simulation Count +20]

[II: Origin Source +3000]

[Three: You are guaranteed a reward of Seventh Tier or higher on your next sign-in.]

Qin Wangchuan's gaze shifted between the three rewards, and his Heavenly Derivation Divine Pupil unconsciously began to operate.

The third option prominently displayed the prompt for the Great Dao.

"Twenty simulations should be enough for a long time, unless you use Resurrection Coin to repeat the simulations."

"As for the three thousand Origin Source, that's not bad either."

"But these two are not comparable to the third one."

As he spoke, Qin Wangchuan silently thought, "I choose three."

[Selection successful.]

"Check-in."

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Tier 10 reward - Wheel of Fate.]
