Chapter 214 Illusion
When he saw the Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains in Emei Mountain and when Li Yu obtained those replicas of immortal artifacts from Piaomiao Immortal Sect, the Qiankun Furnace also had slight abnormal fluctuations.
When facing a real immortal weapon, this fluctuation is even more intense.
Li Yu could even clearly feel a certain emotion coming from the Qiankun Furnace.
It was an emotion similar to nostalgia.
Li Yu became suspicious. Could it be that they knew each other before?
In this case, the Qiankun Furnace and the Mountain and River Map are most likely things from the same era. At least, they once appeared together in the same era.
This emotion of Qiankunlu flashed by and soon disappeared.
At this time, the head of Emei looked at the scroll and explained, "This thing is the Mountain and River Map. The world inside it can evolve by itself. One hour in the outside world is one year in the Mountain and River Map. Ten days in the outside world is two sixty years in the Mountain and River Map. You only need to send your consciousness into the Mountain and River Map, and the Mountain and River Map will deduce a new life based on your memory. When your consciousness returns to your body, the illusory experiences in the Mountain and River Map will also exist in your memory..."
Making the fake look real, this is the principle of how the landscape painting improves one's state of mind.
Although that experience is fictional, it still needs to be truly experienced in the fantasy world. Even if it is not as good as experiencing it in reality, it can, to a large extent, help increase experience and improve one's state of mind.
The head of Emei continued, "In the fantasy world, except for you, everyone else is deducing according to your own memory, which may be different from the real existence. Therefore, when your consciousness returns to your body, you will have a lot of memory confusion, and you may not even be able to distinguish between illusion and reality. This is normal. There is no need to panic. You only need to sort out your memory for a few days..."
This was the first time in Li Yu’s life that he was cultivating his state of mind, and he listened carefully to the words of the Emei Sect Master.
At a certain moment, the breathing of an Emei master in the late Nascent Soul stage who was sitting cross-legged in the hall suddenly became rapid, and a strong wave of magic power suddenly burst out from his body.
The fluctuation of magic power in the late Nascent Soul stage was so terrifying that Li Yu took a step forward and subconsciously stood in front of Senior Sister Qin.
But his action was obviously unnecessary.
This wave of magical power only spread out a few feet, and the space there suddenly became illusory, and all the fluctuations were swallowed up by the illusory space.
At this moment, the chest of the powerful warrior in the late Nascent Soul stage was still heaving, his face was extremely ferocious, and his eyes were bloodshot. No one knew what he had experienced in there.
Gradually, the ferocious look on his face turned into confusion, and it was only after a long time that he regained clarity.
He exhaled deeply, looked at the scroll in the air, a hint of fear appearing on his face.
Seeing his look, Li Yu's heart was lifted. Even a strong man in the late Nascent Soul stage would be in such a situation. It seemed that cultivating the state of mind in the map of mountains and rivers was not as easy as he had imagined.
The head of Emei was no longer surprised by this, and explained to Li Yu: "In the illusory world, anything can happen. When you die or fall there, your consciousness will automatically exit the mountain and river map and return to your body. As for how long you can practice in it, it depends on your luck. However, with your talent, you should stay there for a long time..."
She looked at the old man in the late Nascent Soul stage and asked, "Senior Brother Chen stayed in the illusion for a short time this time. What happened?"
The old man shook his head and sighed, "Don't mention it. My luck this time was not very good. I only cultivated to the third level of the Golden Core Stage and encountered a strong enemy. I was defeated and fell..."
The headmaster of Emei smiled and said, "It seems that Senior Brother Chen is still brooding over the experience several hundred years ago."
The old man in the late Nascent Soul stage sighed, "I almost died that time, how could I forget it? I didn't expect to experience the danger again in the illusion. If I had known, I would not have gone in. It would be better to give the opportunity to others..."
…
After a while, Li Yu and Qin Keren walked to a place in the hall and sat cross-legged.
Just now, the head of Emei has introduced to them in detail the matters of cultivation in the map of mountains and rivers.
Once the spiritual consciousness enters the Mountain and River Map, the Mountain and River Map will deduce a new life based on their basic memories. The life trajectory of the illusion does not necessarily coincide with his current one. Li Yu's current cultivation level is the ninth level of the Golden Core, and he is only in his twenties, but in the illusory deduction of the Mountain and River Map, it may take him decades to cultivate to his current level. If he is lucky, he will continue to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage or even the God Transformation stage. If he is unlucky, he will die in the Qi Refining stage. In a short period of time, he will not be able to enter the Mountain and River Map again. If he forces his way in, there is a possibility that his memory will be confused and he will become a fool.
But generally speaking, the second possibility is unlikely.
The deduction of the map of mountains and rivers is based on one's own memory. If the path of cultivation in the real memory is smooth, the illusion will not be too outrageous. If the memory is full of crises, the illusion will not be too easy.
With the help of the Qiankun Furnace, Li Yu's path of cultivation can be said to be smooth, so he doesn't have to worry about dying as soon as he lands.
Li Yu turned his head to look at Senior Sister Qin beside him, and saw that she had closed her eyes, so he also closed his eyes, released his spiritual sense, and touched the scroll floating in the void.
The moment his spiritual consciousness came into contact with the map of mountains and rivers, Li Yu suddenly felt a strong suction force coming, and his spiritual consciousness instantly left his body and was all sucked into the map of mountains and rivers.
At the same time, he felt dizzy and then lost consciousness.
At this moment, the space inside the hall was fluctuating slightly.
A figure walked out from the void.
When the Emei Sect Master saw that figure, his expression immediately turned respectful and he bowed and said, "Greetings, Grandmaster."
The silver-haired old woman looked at Li Yu and Qin Keren who were sitting cross-legged in the hall and said, "These are the two geniuses of Kunlun. They are indeed very talented. One has two heavenly spiritual veins, and the other one..."
When her eyes swept over Li Yu, she had a gleam in her eyes and said, "Interesting, he can actually hide the fluctuations of his whole body's mana, even I can't see through it."
The Emei headmaster knew something about the art of concealing one's breath, and said, "It seems to be a secret art of concealing one's breath. It can only be practiced when the five spiritual veins have balanced magical powers. However, can even the ancestors not see through this secret art?"
The old woman didn't care and said, "Some ancient secret techniques are indeed incredible. There's nothing strange about them."
She looked at Li Yu and Qin Keren and said, "Kunlun does have a successor. If nothing unexpected happens, two thousand years later, the Tiandao Sect's position should be replaced by Kunlun."
The headmaster of Emei smiled and said, "In a month, Li Yu will be considered my Emei disciple."
The old woman was slightly startled and asked, "Why?"
The head of Emei smiled and told her about the marriage between Kunlun and Emei.
The old woman looked at her and asked, "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"
The head of Emei said, "Disciple dare not disturb the master for such trivial matters."
The old woman looked at Li Yu and shook her head, saying, "If I had known that he was my Emei disciple, I would have used more mana to deduce a world for him alone."
The head of Emei looked at Li Yu and Qin Keren and said in astonishment: "Could it be..."
The old woman said regretfully: "It is not worth wasting so much mana and energy on the two Kunlun disciples, so I let their consciousnesses share the same world..."
The head of Emei moved his lips, but ultimately did not dare to say anything to the master.
Generally speaking, in the map of mountains and rivers, there is one world for each spiritual consciousness. Different worlds have no connection and will not interfere with each other. The world deduced individually has the smallest deviation from reality.
However, the more worlds you deduce, the greater the consumption of mana.
The operation of the Mountain and River Map will also consume the master's mind.
Two spiritual consciousnesses share the same world, which means one less world to be deduced. This will certainly save mana and energy, but because of the interference of the memories of the two spiritual consciousnesses, the deviation between the illusion world and the real world will be very large. More importantly, if the two spiritual consciousnesses intersect , after the spiritual consciousness returns, the two people will have a common memory.
This will make them unable to distinguish between fantasy and reality.
If the illusion lasts too long and the reality is too short, they may even confuse illusion and reality.
The head of Emei looked at the two people and could only hope that they would not have too many intersections in the world of illusion.
Inside the main hall, the map of mountains and rivers was still floating there quietly.
Occasionally, a faint light flows on the blank screen.
…
Baiyun Mountain.
A Taoist temple somewhere.
The boy woke up from his bed and sat blankly on the edge of the bed. He felt that he had just had a dream, an extremely long dream. But when he recalled the content of the dream, he found that he could not remember anything.
At a certain moment, he suddenly looked at his chest, tested it with his magic power, and then heaved a sigh of relief.
The mysterious alchemy furnace I discovered yesterday is still there. Fortunately, this was not a dream.
"Li Yu, are you awake? The elders of Kunlun will be here soon to select disciples. Don't be late..."
As a voice came, the door was kicked open from the outside, and a young man walked in. Seeing Li Yu sitting at the head of the bed, he saw that he looked confused, so he strode forward, put a hand on his shoulder, and said, "What's wrong? Are you worried that you won't be selected as a formal disciple of Kunlun? It doesn't matter. Even if they don't like you, don't you still have me? When the time comes, you can come back to Chen State with me. Since you saved my life, when my father dies and I ascend the throne, I will make you a prince..."
The young man looked at him and murmured, "Are you... Chen Ming?"
The young man was stunned for a moment, then he said in shock: "What's wrong with you? You even forgot about me. Elder Sun, come and see if Li Yu is possessed by a ghost..."
