Liu Changle, the Great Sage's Incarnation

Chen Lingxi frowned in thought.

Back when he first Sight-Roaming Lin Suri, Chao Feiye had mentioned Mystic Wonder Abbey!

This proves that this illusion has existed for a long time.

Moreover, such methods are by no means something that ordinary magic can achieve.

To be able to cover an entire Daoist temple with illusions so seamlessly, without him even noticing it before he stepped inside, the person who created these illusions must be far more skilled than he had imagined.

"Is it Emperor Daye?"

Chen Lingxi secretly guessed.

Throughout the entire Cave Heaven, perhaps only Emperor Daye could have set up such a formation!

Where is Changle now?

Chen Lingxi didn't have time to think much; his gaze passed over the illusions and landed deep in the backyard.

Under the method of Qi Observation, he could clearly see that the Spiritual Qi threads that wove together the illusion of the entire Daoist temple all pointed to one source.

This was Liu Changle's house.

"Um?"

Chen Lingxi frowned and walked towards the backyard.

In Chen Lingxi's eyes, the house was now equally dilapidated, covered in dust, and incredibly old.

However, compared to other houses, it is still slightly inferior.

There was even a bed.

There was a person lying on the bed.

The person was covered with a thin quilt, his eyes were closed, and his breathing was long and even, as if he were asleep.

Chen Lingxi walked to the bedside and looked down at that face.

With sharp features and a natural air of heroism between his brows, he was fast asleep with a slight smile on his face.

It was Liu Changle.

"Changle," Chen Lingxi called out.

Liu Changle remained completely still.

Chen Lingxi frowned, then called out again, her voice a few decibels louder than before.

Liu Changle remained unresponsive, as if he were lost in a deep dream, oblivious to everything around him.

Chen Lingxi reached out and placed her fingers on Liu Changle's forehead.

Spiritual energy emanated from his fingertips, silently probing into Liu Changle's body.

Then...

His brow furrowed even deeper.

"Everything seems normal, so why am I sleeping so soundly?"

Liu Changle's meridians were unobstructed, his Qi and Blood were stable, and the Spirit Pool in his Qi Sea was slowly circulating, showing no signs of abnormality.

There were no restrictions on his body, no toxins remaining in his body, and his internal organs were intact and unharmed.

He was just sleeping.

"So strange... When I Sight-Roaming Liu Changle in Total Perception before, I also saw Mystic Wonder Abbey."

It seems... Liu Changle is also deeply trapped in the illusion.

Chen Lingxi withdrew her finger and remained silent for a moment.

He looked around, his gaze sweeping over the seemingly ordinary room.

Under the method of Qi Observation, the spiritual Qi threads extending from the side rooms were still clearly visible. They spread out in all directions like a huge spider web, covering the entire Mystic Wonder Abbey.

And at the center of this spider web was Liu Changle.

"Could the source of this illusion be Changle?"

Chen Lingxi withdrew her gaze and turned it back to Liu Changle.

He thought for a moment, then sat down on the edge of the bed, crossed his legs, closed his eyes, and waited.

A day has passed.

Two days have passed.

Three days have passed.

Liu Changle remained asleep, breathing steadily, his complexion normal.

He used his spiritual energy to examine Liu Changle's body once a day, but he could not find anything unusual.

The illusion Mystic Wonder Abbey Temple remained unchanged.

On the fourth day...

Chen Lingxi opened her eyes and exhaled a long breath.

"Waiting like this isn't a solution. Perhaps... Liu Changle is already fast asleep."

Chen Lingxi frowned and pondered for a moment.

Suddenly he raised his hand.

With a gentle flick of his hand in Void, a fruit appeared in his palm.

The fruit was no bigger than a fist, and its entire body was bronze in color, just like a fruit cast in bronze, ancient and mysterious.

Faint, subtle patterns flowed across the fruit's surface, like the rings of a tree, each layer exuding a faint, ancient aura.

This is precisely the Dao-Seizing Fruit.

Chen Lingxi held the Dao-Seizing Fruit in his palm, raised his other hand, and brought his index and middle fingers together like a sword, with a wisp of spiritual energy emanating from the fingertips.

This wisp of spiritual energy is none other than the aura of the Emperor Daye.

"Sorry, brother, you can't just keep sleeping like this."

With this thought in mind, Chen Lingxi slowly channeled this wisp of energy into the Dao-Seizing Fruit.

The moment the breath entered the fruit, the Dao-Seizing Fruit suddenly lit up!

On the bronze-colored fruit, the originally dormant patterns seemed to be ignited, turning from dark to pale gold, then from pale gold to blazing white, and finally settling on an almost transparent pale golden light.

An indescribable, mysterious aura emanated from the fruit, instantly filling the entire room.

The aura wasn't particularly powerful, yet it possessed a chilling pressure, like an ancient object that had been dormant for many years finally being awakened.

Chen Lingxi focused his attention and examined it closely, his Divine Sense sinking into the Dao -Dao-Seizing Fruit.

Then...

He sensed the Cauldron Vessel belonging to Emperor Daye.

Chen Lingxi took a deep breath.

"Weaving Delusion Golden Eyes."

He murmured to himself, "The Cauldron Vessel held by Emperor Daye is indeed a complete Cauldron Vessel."

The ancient aura emanating from Emperor Daye Cauldron Vessel was completely different from that of ordinary Cauldron Vessel. Chen Lingxi had long suspected this, but now that he had confirmed his guess, he was still surprised.

He sensed the many mysterious auras emanating from the Dao-Seizing Fruit, and his heart was filled with even more anticipation.

"Thinking about it carefully, the Cauldron Vessel in the Heaven Gate Sea are truly extraordinary, capable of drawing upon the power of countless Cauldron Vessel for one's own use."

"Isn't obtaining this Cauldron Vessel equivalent to obtaining many Cauldron Vessel?"

Chen Lingxi suppressed his greed and poured a wisp of spiritual energy into the Dao-Seizing Fruit in his hand.

In an instant, the seemingly indestructible bronze Dao-Seizing Fruit vanished into nothingness, followed by wisps of smoke rising from it.

The golden smoke, like flames, fell into Chen Lingxi's eyes.

Instantly!

Chen Lingxi felt an unimaginable ancient aura erupt before his eyes, filled with mystery and incomprehensible power.

At the same time, two golden flames flickered within Chen Lingxi's pupils.

This flame was exactly the same as the golden flame in Emperor Daye's eyes.

Sensing the immense power of the Cauldron Vessel, Chen Lingxi took two steps forward and slowly placed a finger on Liu Changle's brow!

In an instant!

A series of spiritual lights suddenly appeared between Liu Changle's brows, and then transformed into a vortex!

The vortex swirled, and beams of light constantly shifted.

The very first memory is of Liu Changle in the Capital Great Li.

Liu Changle was born into the Liu Family of Chu River, a family with an extraordinary background and a large amount of land, making them wealthy.

Until he was 17, Liu Changle had never suffered any injustice.

But later... the Liu family was raided and their property confiscated, Liu's parents were beheaded, and Liu Changle was imprisoned in the Criminal Law Bureau. Eventually, he was assigned to the Baosu Marquis Residence and became a servant of an official.

These memories are not much different from Chen Lingxi's past.

Chen Lingxi frowned.

Just then, the memory screen within the vortex suddenly changed!

Then Chen Lingxi froze...

He was astonished to see a Long River in the light screen.

That Long River flows mightily, rolling and surging, stretching for countless miles.

Suspended in the Void, it resembles a Milky Way stretching between two stars.

But this Long River is dissipating, rising into the Void, and growing smaller and smaller.

The next quarter of an hour.

The Long River suddenly trembled.

Countless drops of water fell to the ground, transforming into blurry, human figures.

Many rivers flowed through a dark place, where storms raged, yet these rivers still passed through the storms unscathed, and once again transformed into a human figure.

Chen Lingxi her eyes wide, utterly astonished.

"As the Long River flows down, it seems to create many incarnations."

The vast majority of these incarnations remained in the Great Xuanzhuo Realm.

"And many more incarnations... fell into the Void Turbulence, and into the Cave Heaven realms."

Chen Lingxi a deep breath and looked at Liu Changle in front of her.

"And..."

Chen Lingxi continued to look at the vortex, and saw that on the Long River avatars in those secret Cave Heaven, there was a mysterious power connecting to the Great Xuanzhuo Realm and the avatars in the Great Xuanzhuo Realm!

"Two incarnations, but in reality, one..."

"One is in the Great Xuanzhuo Realm, and the other is in a secret Cave Heaven... There are countless pairs of these incarnations of the Long River, probably tens of thousands."

"How strange!"

Without a doubt, Liu Changle in front of him is an incarnation of the Great Sage Luo Yuan!
