As the Universe Turns - Chapter 828
Chapter 828 Illusion
Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, Old man Qingyi frowned and said, “Listen to me, this is not the time to quarrel … Changfeng, what do you plan to do now?”
After pondering for a moment, Beigong Changfeng said with a frown, “We’ll seal this place. He definitely won’t be able to come up. We’ll think of a way later …”
“Sigh, it seems that this is the only way …”
Old man Zi Yi shook his head and sighed. His hands couldn’t stop forming seals. Finally, he sent a restrictive force towards the formation and flew back in this direction.
After the red-clothed old man and Old man Qingyi set the restriction, they also flew over. The four of them looked at each other, and Beigong Changfeng’s eyes became increasingly fierce. “Don’t worry, three of you. As long as that brat doesn’t come out, we will definitely find a way to capture him in a long time …”
Old man Zi Yi sneered and interrupted him, “How did you capture him? He ran into the Void Illusion Heavens. Otherwise, you can go down and capture him …”
“Humph!”
Beigong Changfeng coldly snorted, “If he doesn’t come out, then he will be imprisoned for a hundred years. He can enter the Void Illusion Heavens, so don’t think of coming out again. After a hundred years, when his soul is weak, won’t it be easy to capture him again? Moreover, a hundred years is only a short period of time. By then, our cultivation will definitely be broken …”
“Come on …”
Before he could finish speaking, Old man Zi Yi shook his hand and interrupted, “How do you know that a breakthrough is inevitable in a hundred years’ time? Then perhaps he will have entered the Saint realm. When the time comes, he will wave his hand and with a boom, your entire Wushuang City will fly …”
“You …”
Beigong Changfeng glanced at him. He really didn’t want to argue with him. He said, “Forget it, the three brothers have been tired for the past three days. Since they have come to Wushuang City, why don’t you let Changfeng entertain the three brothers tonight … please.”
…
Below the Thunder Heaven Prison, the surroundings were pitch black. A faint sound of water dripping could be heard. Xiao Chen and Qianluo had just broken through the restriction and landed somewhere. However, they were probably already in the illusion of the ninth floor.
“Be careful …”
Xiao Chen focused his attention on his surroundings. The dangers in this illusion were unknown. He could not estimate how great it was. Most importantly, from this moment onwards, they had no way to turn back. Unless the restriction was broken, they would not be able to return to the top. However, they did not need to worry about the restriction on the top anymore. That restriction could not penetrate into the bottom.
“Childe Xiao …”
Qianluo grabbed Xiao Chen’s sleeve tightly and listened to the faint sound of water dripping from somewhere. At this moment, she seemed to have returned to the terrifying forbidden area of Tomb of Gods and Demons. The surroundings were dark and cold, as if she had returned to that long-standing nightmare.
Ever since she and Xiao Chen escaped from Tomb of Gods and Demons, she had nightmares about how she had never been able to get out of Tomb of Gods and Demons, and what was happening outside was her dream.
In the dream world, she couldn’t tell whether she was dreaming or in reality. Just because the dream was too real, she dreamed that there was a sun in the sky of Tomb of Gods and Demons, but the sun shone on her body, it was incomparably cold …
It was as if there was no Xiao Chen in the other world. No matter how she searched and inquired, she could not find such a person. That loneliness, cold, fear, despair … Even now, she still remembered it as if she was suffocating, as if Xiao Chen was just a person she knew in her dream.
Even when she woke up from her dream, she still felt cold and frightened. She took out the puppet every time. As long as she saw the puppet and felt Xiao Chen coming from inside, her fear would slowly calm down.
“What’s wrong with you?”
Xiao Chen turned around and saw that Qianluo’s face was deathly pale. A layer of cold sweat covered his forehead as he asked.
“Ah …”
Only then did Qianluo wake up and ask anxiously, “Childe Xiao, is that avatar still there?”
“Huh?”
Seeing her strange expression, Xiao Chen did not ask any further. He took out the puppet and handed it to her. Qianluo took the puppet and felt the aura of Genuine energy coming from the puppet. Finally, he calmed down slightly.
“What’s wrong with you?” Xiao Chen asked again.
“No, no …”
Qianluo carefully put away the avatar puppet and looked at him. He whispered, “Childe Xiao, are you from this world? Will you suddenly disappear one day? It’s like you’ve never been to this world before, and then everyone will forget about you …”
“Huh?”
Xiao Chen frowned slightly. The more he couldn’t understand what she was saying, the more he slowly regained his senses. He wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and whispered, “No, it’s nothing. I’m just saying, Qianluo, don’t mind …”
“Yes.”
Xiao Chen looked into the distance and said, “This illusion is very powerful. It may cause illusions to appear in the heart. You are proficient in illusions. Be careful, you shouldn’t fall into illusions.”
“Mm …”
“Let’s go.”
At this moment, the two of them carefully scanned forward to see if they could find a way out. After a few days, no matter how they walked, it was difficult for them to get out. They even walked back and forth, as if they had returned to their original location.
On this day, Qianluo was faintly exhausted. Her face paled as she crouched on the ground and let out a muffled groan. Xiao Chen turned around and saw the pain on her face. He asked, “What happened to you?”
“No, it’s fine …”
Qianluo struggled to stand up and his expression gradually returned to normal. He shook his head and said, “I’m fine. It’s just that I’ve consumed too much energy these past few days and I’m feeling a little unwell. Childe Xiao, don’t worry.”
“Yes.”
Xiao Chen nodded slightly. No more questions, He continued to walk forward. However, he didn’t know how far he went. After walking for an unknown amount of time, not only was Qianluo unable to hold on any longer, even if he was in this illusion, his strength seemed to have been greatly reduced. If he continued to walk forward, not only would he not be able to find a way out, if he encountered one or two powerful ancient magical beasts, he was afraid that neither of them would be able to deal with it.
“No … Childe Xiao, I can’t walk anymore …”
Qianluo finally stopped. Her clothes were soaked in cold sweat. For some reason, ever since she arrived at the illusion below, if she moved, the Genuine energy in her body would quickly dissipate …
It wasn’t just her, Xiao Chen was also the same. Although there was no difference between day and night, it had been almost half a month since the day the two of them came down. If they continued forward, they would probably run out of Genuine energy in the end.
“The illusion here is much more powerful than I imagined …”
Xiao Chen slowly sat down on a rock and concentrated on sensing the flow of Spiritual Energy around him. Although Spiritual Energy flowed very little here, and his perception of Spiritual Energy was not as sharp as Wei Yang’s, he could still sense traces of Spiritual Energy flowing slowly here with countless divine senses that were sharper than ordinary people.
