Chapter 217 It’s fake, all fake!
Yuxu Peak.
Li Yu's spiritual sense swept across the Purple Palace, and saw five babies who looked similar to him except for their skin color, sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed inside the Purple Palace.
His cultivation had been stagnant at the peak of the Golden Core for a hundred years. With the Barrier Breaking Pill and the Infant Pregnancy Pill, he successfully formed the Five Elements Nascent Soul. Not only him, but Senior Sister Qin's Five Elements Nascent Soul had also been condensed. Qingxin and Qingying also successfully formed a single spirit vein Nascent Soul.
Although he is only in the early stage of Nascent Soul now, his true strength is already very close to the late stage of Nascent Soul.
If one can successfully cultivate to the stage of spiritual transformation, the day of spiritual transformation will be the day of breaking through the void.
A few days later, Xuanyin Sect.
Elder Xuanyuan looked at Li Yu and said helplessly: "The Saint does not want to see you, and there is nothing I can do."
Li Yu handed him two pill bottles and said, "This one is a barrier-breaking pill. After taking it, you can improve your state of mind. The other five are pregnancy pills. Elder Xuanyuan, please pass them to Miss Nangong."
After handing the pills to Elder Xuanyuan, Li Yu glanced at an ancient tree in front of him, then turned and left.
His figure disappeared for a long time, and Nangong Chan walked out from behind the ancient tree.
Even though these pills could allow her to conceive a baby immediately, she did not feel any joy in her heart.
Her parents don't want her.
He doesn't want her either...
At this moment, a strange power surged out from her heart, and the five golden elixirs in her body began to move on their own. Her dantian was soon shrouded in mist. When the mist disappeared, the five Nascent Souls were already sitting safely in the Purple Palace.
Elder Xuanyuan looked at her in astonishment. As a person in the late Nascent Soul stage, he actually felt tremendous pressure from the saint girl who had just been promoted to the Nascent Soul stage.
When he was promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, the sect had several divine guardians, but the promotion of the Saint was as easy as breathing.
He looked at the two bottles of pills and asked, "Then what about this pill..."
Nangong Chan put away the two bottles of pills, turned around and walked back to Lingchan Peak.
In the blink of an eye, another hundred years have passed.
Baiyun Mountain, Li Yu and a middle-aged man stood in front of a tombstone.
Although Elder Sun succeeded in forming the elixir, he still failed to cross the Nascent Soul stage. Before returning to the abyss, he asked Li Yu and Chen Ming to bury him here.
Chen Ming poured a cup of spiritual wine in front of Elder Sun's tomb, and then floated away.
With the help of Li Yu, he formed the golden elixir very early, but with his talent, he was destined to never have the Nascent Soul in this life. In the days to come, he did not plan to practice in the sect, but wanted to enjoy the beauty of the world until he returned to the abyss.
Li Yu did not interfere with his choice. He returned to Baiyun Temple and came to a small courtyard.
Two hundred years have passed, and nothing has changed here.
As the earliest place of practice for the current head of Kunlun, it was protected more than a hundred years ago and outsiders were not allowed to enter. Baiyun Temple also stopped recruiting disciples a hundred years ago and became a commemorative attraction in Kunlun.
Fifty years ago, Wang Daoxuan broke through to the state of incarnation and passed the position of the headmaster to Li Yu.
During these fifty years, under Li Yu's governance, the entire Kunlun has been completely renewed. After returning to Kunlun from Baiyun Mountain, Li Yu handed over the affairs of the sect to the Senate, and took his two Taoist companions with him to travel outside the sect...
Time flies, and only five hundred years have passed.
The world has changed dramatically in five hundred years.
Five hundred years ago, the sects that were once famous in the world of immortal cultivation have gradually disappeared in the long river of history during these five hundred years.
In today's world of immortal cultivation, the Tiandao Sect is still the only dominant sect.
Qingcheng, Huashan, Maoshan, Tianyin Sect, Tianji Sect... These once great righteous sects have been swallowed up one by one by the Tiandao Sect in the past five hundred years. Western Buddhism and the Central Dynasty have also been devoured by it.
Kunlun, Emei, and Shushan formed the Alliance of Righteousness two hundred years ago. In order to prevent being annexed by the Tiandao Sect, Emei and Shushan even abandoned their sect's secret realms and moved their entire clans to Kunlun.
On the side of the demonic sect, the Demon Flame Sect, with the support of the Tiandao Sect, successively annexed the demonic sects of all sizes. Led by the Xuanyin Sect, the Puppet Sect, and the Soul Refining Sect, they also formed a demonic alliance.
The Alliance of Good and Evil has three powerful void-breaking masters each, forming a three-way , and the world of immortal cultivation ushers in a brief peace.
After a century, the spaces of the two worlds were connected, and the Lingyuan Realm, which was also a big world, invaded the Xuantian Realm. The three major forces temporarily put aside their grudges and jointly resisted the foreign enemy. After a hundred years of war, the Lingyuan World was completely defeated and retreated back to its own world. The space channel between the two worlds was disconnected again.
Although Xuantian Realm won this battle, it also paid a terrible price.
The Shushan Poxu Patriarch died, and the three Poxu Patriarchs of the Demonic Alliance all died, and the balance of the three major forces was completely broken.
After the Tiandao Sect swallowed up the Demon Sect, the three Poxu ancestors led a group of incarnations and wanted to forcefully swallow up the three righteous sects. At this time, Li Yu, Qin Keren, and Nangong Chan successively incarnated into gods, fused the five elements' spirits, and stepped into Poxu.
Outnumbering five against three, the Tiandao Sect retreated without a fight.
In the following two hundred years, the older generation of powerful Void-Breaking masters in the world of immortal cultivation returned to the abyss one after another, and only three new powerful Void-Breaking masters remained in the world of immortal cultivation.
The Tiandao Sect lost its powerful Void Breaker and gradually fell apart. Its prestige was gone. Within a hundred years, it became a last-rate sect. Kunlun replaced the Tiandao Sect and became the only super sect in the Xuantian World...
…
Emei.
The head of Emei looked at the two figures who were still sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed and murmured, "Three months..."
Although only three months had passed in reality, more than a thousand years had passed in the illusion. The lifespan of a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator is only a thousand years, which means that both of them had already become gods in the illusion.
This is the first time someone has stayed in a fantasy world for so long.
The deduction of the Mountain and River Map requires the consumption of one's own strength. Once too much strength is consumed, the Mountain and River Map will increase the difficulty of survival in the illusion in order to ensure that it is not consumed.
Generally speaking, being able to spend three hundred years in a fantasy world is extremely rare, and a thousand years is unprecedented.
The three Zhao sisters stood behind the head of Emei, with worried looks on their faces.
Bai Qingying looked at Qin Keren and Li Yu, and couldn't help asking, "Master, it's been so long, will anything happen to them?"
The head of Emei shook his head and said, "The Mountain and River Map has never had any accidents. The longer they stay in the illusion, the more beneficial it will be for them."
Then, she thought of something and said, "I wonder if you are in their illusion. If so, this would be a good thing for you..."
Bai Qingying asked: "Why?"
The head of Emei explained: "If you exist in the world deduced by the Mountain and River Map, you can also enter the Mountain and River Map with your spiritual consciousness, and you don’t need to deduce it again. You can experience these thousand years with your own identity. Even if only a hundred years of this are related to you, it can greatly improve your state of mind..."
The three Zhao sisters looked expectant when they heard this.
Bai Qingying had no idea. Although the illusion in the map of mountains and rivers was somewhat similar to reality, it was also very different. In their illusion world, it was very likely that there was no such person as Bai Qingying.
The head of Emei continued, "However, their world may not have you. This illusion is woven from the memories of the two of them. It will be affected by the two memories and may be greatly different from reality. Even the closest people in reality may not appear in it..."
The map of mountains and rivers floated above the hall, and time passed slowly.
One month, two months, three months, four months, five months...
More than five months have passed since their spiritual consciousness entered the Map of Mountains and Rivers.
More than five months, in this dreamland, it was a full two thousand years.
Two thousand years is the lifespan limit of a deity.
If they haven't broken the illusion in the illusion, they should be coming out soon.
In the picture of mountains and rivers.
Deep in the Kunlun Cave, in a beautiful valley.
This is the forbidden area for Kunlun disciples. Even Nascent Soul and Divine Being cannot approach within a thousand feet of here.
In front of the cottage, a hunched figure was weeding the vegetable garden.
The vegetable garden was full of fruits and vegetables. The old man was busy in the garden for a while, then left and walked into a small courtyard next to it. Soon, smoke rose from the kitchen in the courtyard.
"Qingxin, Qingying, Senior Sister, Chanchan, it's time to eat..."
Half an hour later, with a few calls, two figures walked out of a room somewhere in the courtyard. They were two old people. Although they had white hair and wrinkles on their faces, it could still be seen that they must have been peerless beauties when they were young.
Soon, two other figures walked out from the small courtyards on both sides and came here.
There were two young women, the one on the left was in a white dress, and the one on the right was in black. The woman in black came to the table, took a look at the food on the table, and said dissatisfiedly: "Why are there no silverfish today?"
The old man came out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of silverfish soup and said, "You've been eating silverfish for almost two thousand years, aren't you tired of it?"
The woman glared at him and said, "I'm not tired of you, why do you care about me..."
The other two old people just watched this scene with a smile. It had been nearly two thousand years, and Miss Nangong still had to argue with him every day. They had long been accustomed to it.
After dinner, the two men looked at each other and took the hands of the two women at the same time.
Then, they placed their hands in the hands of the white-haired old man.
Without waiting for the two women and the white-haired old man to speak, one of the old men smiled and said, "Junior Sister Qin, Miss Nangong, we don't have much time left. In the days to come, you will have to accompany him..."
Li Yu looked at them in silence.
…
Emei.
Zhao Xiner looked at Li Yu boredly. Suddenly, her expression changed. She pointed at Li Yu and said, "Look, Senior Brother Li is crying..."
Everyone looked over and saw Li Yu sitting there cross-legged with his eyes closed. Although his expression remained calm, two lines of tears were slowly flowing from the corners of his eyes.
Zhao Pan'er looked at Qin Keren and murmured, "Senior Sister Qin, Senior Sister Qin is crying too..."
Qin Keren was wearing a veil, so they couldn't see her expression clearly, but they saw tears in the corners of her eyes.
Although Bai Qingying didn't know what they had experienced in the illusion, at this moment, a trace of sadness inexplicably rose in her heart, and a tear slid down silently.
Zhao Xiner was the first to notice her abnormality and asked curiously, "Senior Sister, why are you crying?"
Bai Qingying wiped the corners of her eyes and murmured, "I, I don't know either..."
Kunlun Cave.
The old man stood there quietly, in front of him were two tombstones.
Xu Qingxin and Bai Qingying ultimately failed to pass the barrier of breaking through the void and closed their eyes in Li Yu's arms.
In this life, he has been their Taoist companion for two thousand years, and the scenes of these two thousand years keep flashing back in Li Yu's mind.
During his two thousand years of cultivation, he saw off Elder Sun, Chen Ming, his master, Grandmaster Xuan Zhen, and one old friend after another. Until today, the person who had been by his side for two thousand years also left him.
The little outer disciple of Baiyun Temple has now become the ancestor of Kunlun.
Li Yu stood in front of two tombstones. His hunched body gradually straightened up, the wrinkles on his face disappeared one by one, and his silver hair turned black again in a few breaths.
Soon, a young figure appeared here.
Just like two thousand years ago.
His appearance is still young, but his eyes are full of the vicissitudes of life.
The woman in white and the woman in black stood beside him. Although they had never been Taoist companions for a single day in the past two thousand years, they had already surpassed being Taoist companions.
Li Yu waved his sleeves, and the three figures, along with the valley, completely disappeared.
Time flies, and another 1,500 years have passed.
During these 1,500 years, Li Yu never appeared in Kunlun again, and Qin Keren and Nangong Chan also disappeared with him.
Some people say that they live in seclusion in an unknown secret place and don't want to be found.
Some people also say that they have achieved unity between man and nature and ascended to the immortal realm.
Some people also said that they had seen a couple who looked very similar to them in a certain secular country...
But all of this cannot be verified...
…
Emei.
Ten months.
Ten whole months!
Even the Emei's Patriarch Poxu did not expect that the two of them could actually stay in the Mountain and River Map for ten months. What does ten months mean? A full three thousand six hundred years. Could they be going to ascend to heaven in this illusion?
The white-haired old woman sat cross-legged in the corner of the hall. Even though she was a powerful Void Breaker who had been controlling the magic weapon for ten months, the magic power in her body was almost exhausted.
Zhou Zixuan and Jiang Li were worried about Li Yu, so they came to Emei a few months ago and have been living in Yuzhen Peak. Even the Holy Maiden of Xuanyin Sect came here. The strong men from Kunlun were also worried and came to Emei to visit no less than ten times.
Just when the white-haired old woman decided to cut off her magic power and force their consciousness to come out of the map of mountains and rivers.
Suddenly, a light flashed above the scroll floating in the air.
The next moment, Li Yu and Qin Keren trembled and slowly opened their eyes.
Zhao Xiner said excitedly: "Senior Brother Li is awake!"
Bai Qingying also breathed a sigh of relief.
She was also worried that something might have happened to Li Yu and Qin Keren in the illusion.
The first moment Li Yu opened his eyes, the magic power in his body started to circulate wildly, but he frowned the next moment. How come his cultivation level of Breaking the Void Peak was reduced to just this little?
However, before he could check inside his body, his body suddenly shook.
His whole world was blank, with only a figure left.
Before Bai Qingying could react, she was already in an embrace.
Li Yu hugged her so tightly, as if he wanted to merge their bodies together.
Bai Qingying was stunned, the three Zhao sisters were stunned, the head of Emei was stunned, and even the white-haired old woman was stunned for a moment.
At this moment, Li Yu, who was hugging Bai Qingying tightly, also stood there in a daze.
A strange memory appeared in his mind.
The peak of the golden elixir, Emei Mountain, a picture of mountains and rivers, and a fantasy world...
It's ridiculous. As the ancestor of Kunlun, he has practiced for 3,600 years and has already found the barrier between heaven and man. He is only one step away from ascending. However, the memory in his mind tells him that he is less than 30 years old and his cultivation level is not even at the Nascent Soul stage?
It's ridiculous!
It’s fake, all fake!
This must be the inner demon!
Who would have thought that before the Heavenly Beings, there would be such a terrifying inner demon. With his cultivation, he couldn't even tell the real from the fake...
He had practiced for nearly four thousand years, and every event was still vivid in his mind. How could he be disturbed by the memory of just thirty years? He closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and soon opened his eyes again.
After opening his eyes, Li Yu found that he was still in the hall.
The people around him looked at him in shock.
Even though he was extremely determined, at this moment, Li Yu couldn't help but have a little doubt.
Could it be that everything he had experienced over the past three thousand years was fake?
Qingxin is fake, Qingying is fake, Keren and Chanchan are fake, Kunlun ancestor is fake, Poxu cultivation is fake, all this is just a dream of his?
Even he could not accept this cruel reality.
Li Yu's mind was struck hard, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and completely lost consciousness...
Only Bai Qingying was left holding Li Yu, with a confused look on her face.
