Chapter 219 Fantasy Experience
Inside the main hall.
Li Yu sat on the edge of the bed and suddenly felt a headache.
The shortcut to the Nascent Soul stage is indeed not an easy one. After four thousand years of dreaming, he is almost suffering from a split personality.
Even with the help of the Qiankun Furnace, he was still unable to distinguish between illusion and reality, let alone Senior Sister Qin.
From the scene just now, it was enough to see that she was still immersed in the illusion created by the map of mountains and rivers.
Li Yu looked at Qin Keren who was sitting next to her and said seriously: "Senior sister, what I am going to say next may be a little difficult to accept, but they are all true. You must listen carefully..."
Qin Keren nodded.
Li Yu took a deep breath and said slowly: "Our experience in the illusion for more than 3,000 years is all fake. It is the Mountain and River Map that deduced it based on our memory. You can think of it as a dream..."
Even though he himself could not accept this huge gap for a while, he still calmed down and patiently explained to Senior Sister Qin.
After a long silence, Qin Keren whispered, "I understand."
After reaching the peak of the Void Breaking Peak, only the Golden Elixir is left. Four thousand years of life is nothing but an illusion. Even a person with a strong will would find it difficult to withstand such a blow.
But from beginning to end, Qin Keren remained calm.
Li Yu didn't find it strange because he knew that she had always been so calm for more than three thousand years.
The two looked at each other and fell silent.
Even though that memory was an illusion, Li Yu could no longer simply regard her as her senior sister.
How can a relationship that has lasted for nearly four thousand years be abandoned with just a word like "illusion"?
After an unknown amount of time, Li Yu said, "Let's go out."
Qin Keren said: "Okay."
The two men stood up and walked out of the hall.
When he reached the entrance of the palace, Li Yu paused and looked down at the two people's tightly clasped hands.
Qin Keren also realized something and slowly loosened her hands.
The two walked out of the hall side by side, and everyone was still waiting there.
Li Yu looked at Xu Qingxin and Bai Qingying, a complex emotion flashed across his eyes, and soon he regained his composure.
That fleeting glance contained too many emotions. Xu Qingxin and Bai Qingying felt their hearts tighten, and they inexplicably felt a little sad.
Li Yu smiled, walked up to the white-haired old woman, bowed and said, "Thank you, senior."
He had no idea of the old man's cultivation level. This kind of situation would not occur even when he met a powerful god-transforming expert. Needless to say, this man was the Emei's Poxu ancestor.
If he had not taken action just now, he would have eloped with his three senior sisters and the witch.
Then he would be completely socially dead.
In the illusion, Li Yu also knew the Emei's Poxu ancestor, but that was his imagination, not the old man in front of him.
The white-haired old woman glanced at him and asked curiously, "Did you break through the illusion?"
Li Yu nodded.
The Mountain and River Map is indeed magical. Their cultivation level in reality is only the Golden Elixir stage, but in the illusion, they can experience a realm they have never been to. Obviously, the illusion is created not only by the memories of Li Yu and Senior Sister Qin, but also by the consciousness of the Mountain and River Map itself.
The white-haired old woman asked again: "Did you finally ascend?"
Li Yu shook her head. Although the three of them in the illusion had already reached the peak of breaking the void, they had only just touched the barrier between heaven and man.
The old woman continued to ask: "Did you meet a powerful enemy and fall?"
Li Yu still shook his head.
The old woman asked in confusion: "Then how did you get out?"
After her reminder, Li Yu finally thought of something.
He looked at Qin Keren and asked, "Keren, do you still remember that giant hand?"
Qin Keren nodded.
Nangong Chan glanced at Li Yu and thought to herself: "Delightful"?
The old woman asked, "What giant hand?"
Li Yu fell into memories. After Qingxin and Qingying died of old age, he got tired of the life in the immortal world and retired to the secular world with Keren and Chanchan, no longer asking about the affairs of the immortal world. Another 1,600 years passed like this, and the cultivation of the three of them had reached the peak of Breaking the Void. In the remaining 400 years of life, they had a chance to reach the realm of heaven and man.
But on an extremely ordinary day, when Li Yu was practicing , suddenly an invisible giant hand descended from the sky, covering the entire sky. Even with the three people's cultivation at the peak of the Void Breaking Realm, they were unable to resist at all.
After the giant hand fell, the two people's consciousness returned to their bodies from the map of mountains and rivers, and the deduction in the illusion ended.
The white-haired old woman was surprised and asked, "Is there such a thing?"
She has been in charge of the Map of Mountains and Rivers for countless years. More than a hundred geniuses have practiced in the Map of Mountains and Rivers, but they have never encountered such a situation, and no one has ever been able to practice to the point of breaking through the void in the Map of Mountains and Rivers.
After a moment, she shook her head and said, "Perhaps, you have stayed in the Mountain and River Map for too long, and the power of the Mountain and River Map's deduction has been exhausted, so we can only force you out. After this, I'm afraid that the Mountain and River Map will not be able to deduce again within the next fifty years..."
As she finished her words, her body gradually faded away in front of everyone.
Li Yu appeared calm on the surface, but he felt relieved in his heart.
Fortunately, she didn't mention the archive again.
If Senior Sister Xu and Senior Sister Bai knew what he did in the illusion, he would not be able to face them.
The things that happened in the illusion cannot be known to the witch.
In the illusory Piaomiao Xianzong secret realm, he chose Senior Sister Qin and gave up the demon girl. Although she finally forgave him, it was because Li Yu coaxed her for two hundred years...
Of course, Zhou Zixuan and A Li must not be allowed to know that they did not appear in the illusion at all.
Even Chen Ming showed up, but they were not there. Li Yu didn't know how to explain to them.
After returning to Yuzhen Peak, Jiang Li and Zhou Zixuan couldn't help asking questions as soon as they entered the room.
"What happened between you and Senior Sister Qin in the illusion?"
"Where were you taking Senior Sister Xu and Senior Sister Bai?"
"Xin'er said that you also hugged Senior Sister Bai..."
…
Facing their gazes, Li Yu could only say: "Don't mention the things in the illusion anymore, otherwise there may be memory confusion. If it is serious, I am afraid that the whole person will go crazy..."
Although Jiang Li and Zhou Zixuan were curious about Li Yu's experience in the illusion, they did not continue to ask after hearing him speak so seriously.
The head of Emei also said that the things in the illusion were deduced by the map of mountains and rivers, and the owner of the illusion could not control them, so these questions were essentially meaningless.
Li Yu gently embraced the two of them in his arms, smelled the familiar fragrance, and suddenly felt a little calmer in his heart.
After calming down and accepting the reality, Li Yu gradually felt the difference between the two memories.
There are actually some differences between real memory and illusion memory.
After experiencing the same number of years, the real memory is undoubtedly more profound. Even if one has thirty years of real memory, one will not feel confused even if one has spent three hundred years in a fantasy world.
After the Nascent Soul ancestors of the Emei Sect woke up from the illusion, their real memories instantly took over, and the experiences in the illusion would not have much impact on them.
Li Yu and Senior Sister Qin had only less than thirty years of life experience, but they experienced more than three thousand years in the illusion. This is why the illusion memory completely overwhelmed the real memory.
When Jiang Li and Zhou Zixuan were so close to him, Li Yu's real memory began to become clearer, but the illusion memory did not disappear. After all, the size difference between the two was a hundred times.
The two memories gradually merged in a slow manner.
The current Li Yu is not the Kunlun ancestor with the cultivation level of Breaking the Void in the illusion, but he is also not the Li Yu ten months ago.
Everything he experienced in the illusion had an irreversible impact on his state of mind.
At this moment, in a temple in Emei.
Bai Qingying and the three Zhao sisters came to a certain hall and knelt down to greet the white-haired old woman: "Greetings, Grandmaster."
"Get up." A gentle force lifted them up.
The white-haired old woman waved her hand, and a map of mountains and rivers appeared in the void.
She looked at the four people and said, "I wanted to wait for their consciousness to come out of the Mountain and River Map, and then let you go in to hone your mind. I didn't expect them to stay in there for so long. In a short period of time, the Mountain and River Map can no longer be deduced. However, if you can enter their world, perhaps you will gain more than deducing it by yourself..."
In the past, the geniuses in the world of immortal cultivation could only stay in the Map of Mountains and Rivers for a few decades, or at most a few hundred years.
In such a short period of time, those who enter the Mountain and River Map may not gain much, let alone those who only appear in their illusions.
But the world woven by Li Yu and Qin Keren is nearly four thousand years old.
After such a long period of time, even people related to them who enter the illusion may gain huge benefits, even more than those who have only stayed in the map of mountains and rivers for a few decades.
Moreover, because the world they have woven has already been deduced in the Map of Mountains and Rivers, simply experiencing it again will not consume the deductive power of the Map of Mountains and Rivers.
It can be said that the two of them, in ten months, created a shortcut for others to improve their state of mind.
Of course, the prerequisite is that the owner of the spiritual consciousness who enters the Mountain and River Map has an extremely close relationship with them.
Zhao Xiner was the first to try, but her consciousness was instantly sent out by the Map of Mountains and Rivers.
Zhao Pan'er and Zhao Lian'er followed closely behind, but also ended in failure.
Just as they were looking disappointed, the head of Emei comforted them: "Reality is reality, illusion is illusion. The illusion woven by the memories of two people will be very different from reality. It is normal that you did not appear in it..."
After saying that, she looked at Bai Qingying and said, "Qingying, you can try it too."
Bai Qingying nodded slightly. Li Yu's unusual behavior just now also made her very curious about what role she played in his illusion.
What's more, she couldn't miss this opportunity to improve her state of mind.
She sat cross-legged, her consciousness left her body and entered the map of mountains and rivers.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
After three breaths, she was still sitting cross-legged quietly in the same place.
The headmaster of Emei showed understanding on his face and said, "Sure enough, he went in..."
…
Yuzhen Peak.
Li Yu and Zhou Zixuan were affectionate with Jiang Li for a moment, thinking that someone was still worried about him, so he walked out of the room, smiled at Senior Sister Xu and the demon girl sitting in the pavilion outside, and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
The three Zhao sisters flew over from a distance and landed beside Li Yu. Zhao Xiner looked at Li Yu with resentment and asked, "Brother, aren't we in your fantasy world..."
Li Yu shook his head helplessly.
He looked around and subconsciously asked, "Where is Senior Sister Qing... Bai?"
As soon as he said this, Li Yu realized that the memories in the illusion would still have a subconscious impact on him.
Zhao Xiner said: "The Grandmaster has allowed Senior Sister's consciousness to enter the Mountain and River Map. I don't know how long it will take for it to come out. By the way, Senior Brother, are you familiar with Senior Sister in the illusion?"
Li Yu was stunned for a moment, then turned around and said to Zhou Zixuan and Jiang Li: "I suddenly remembered that there is another urgent matter. We should return to Kunlun immediately..."
The head of Emei came and appeared beside him, saying, "Don't rush back. In the illusion, are there any close people who have experienced more than a thousand years with you? These people can take this opportunity to enter the map of mountains and rivers to experience your experiences and quickly improve their state of mind..."
