Chapter 221 True and False
Yuzhen Peak.
Nangong Chan came out of Li Yu's room with a red face, and a strange feeling came from her buttocks.
After a while, Li Yu also walked out of the room with a sad face.
Everything has a price.
The shortcut of the Mountain and River Map is certainly fast enough, as he can experience nearly four thousand years in ten months, but his memory is completely messed up. Wu Tong's words came true. Although Li Yu is not crazy, he can no longer distinguish between reality and illusion.
Even though his brain forced himself to distinguish the differences, his body still maintained the habits in the illusion.
If he continues like this, he will be on the verge of social death.
If one day I subconsciously reach out to Senior Sister Xu and Senior Sister Bai...
Just thinking about that kind of scene made him feel embarrassed.
The best way at the moment is to keep a distance from them for the time being and wait for him to completely get rid of the aftereffects of the illusion.
Unable to stay in Emei for the time being, nor was it convenient to go back to Kunlun, Li Yu planned to go to southern Xinjiang first, to seclude himself for a period of time, to sort out his memories and to prepare for the formation of a baby.
He left a letter in the room and decided to go out and avoid the limelight.
He really couldn't handle the situation here.
When he walked out of the room again, Li Yu saw Senior Sister Qin standing alone in the yard.
Li Yu paused. The illusion world was woven by two people together. If he left, Senior Sister Qin would have to bear it alone.
The two looked at each other, Li Yu raised his eyebrows, and Qin Keren nodded slightly.
Over the long years, a certain tacit understanding has already formed between them.
Li Yu stretched out his hand and Qin Keren held his hand. Li Yu activated the Qi Concealment Technique and a barrier that isolated the breath appeared on the surface of their bodies. The figures of the two gradually disappeared.
Soon, a voice of surprise and doubt was heard in the void.
This method of concealing one's breath, which could make others disappear together with him, was something he comprehended in the illusion. He just performed it out of habit and successfully reproduced the spell in the illusion in reality.
But at the moment, Li Yu doesn't have time to study these.
Before things get to the most awkward point, it would be better for him and Keren to leave first.
…
Emei.
Inside a palace.
A light flashed on the map of mountains and rivers, and Bai Qingying, who was sitting cross-legged on a cushion, slowly opened his eyes.
Looking at everything in the hall, her eyes were filled with confusion. She subconsciously turned her head to look for something, but found nothing.
Zhao Xiner asked curiously, "Why did Senior Sister come out so soon?"
Senior Brother Li stayed in the Mountain and River Map for a full ten months, but Senior Sister only stayed there for two days.
The head of Emei explained softly, "The most time-consuming thing is the deduction of the illusion. Qingying's consciousness entered an already existing illusion world, so there is no need to deduce anything. Even though only two days have passed in reality, she may have experienced two thousand years in the illusion."
Zhao Pan'er said with some worry: "Ah, then Senior Sister, will you also be unable to distinguish between illusion and reality?"
The white-haired old woman said slowly, "No, she is not the master of the illusion. She can only be regarded as a bystander. The memories in the illusion do not have such a profound impact on her."
Sure enough, after a brief moment of confusion, Bai Qingying's eyes quickly regained clarity.
Zhao Xiner asked: "Senior Sister, what did you see in the illusion?"
Bai Qingying moved her lips, and finally shook her head and said, "Too many things have happened, I don't know where to start..."
The white-haired old woman asked, "How long did you spend in the illusion?"
Bai Qingying thought for a moment and said, "About... two thousand years."
"You've become a god?"
Bai Qingying nodded slightly.
A strange look appeared on the white-haired old woman's face. She said, "Although the illusion is controlled by the consciousness of the Mountain and River Map, the people who enter the illusion rarely exceed their actual cultivation. They are only in the Golden Core Stage, but they can break through the void in the illusion. Even the bystanders can become gods. It's really unbelievable..."
The incarnation of the god in the map of mountains and rivers is not an imaginary god.
Theoretically speaking, although the owner of the consciousness has no experience of higher cultivation, the consciousness of the Mountain and River Map knows what it is like to become a spirit or even break through the void. This experience will greatly reduce the difficulty of their becoming a spirit or breaking through the void in the future.
In order to verify her idea, she looked at Bai Qingying and said, "Release a water arrow and see."
"yes."
Bai Qingying raised her hand and condensed a water arrow, which hit the ground of the hall, leaving a trail of water.
Her expression was slightly stunned. This water arrow seemed different from the ones she had released before.
The head of Emei was even more shocked. This seemingly simple water arrow did not have much power, but the use of magic power was extremely detailed. This skill of using magic power was simply not something that could be mastered in the Jindan stage. With her cultivation in the late Yuanying stage, she could rely on her strong magic power to release water arrows that were a hundred times more powerful than hers, but she did not have this skill without wasting any magic power.
This level of skill has nothing to do with talent and requires at least a thousand years of experience.
The white-haired old woman showed understanding on her face, and whispered: "She has the cultivation of the Golden Core Stage, and the skills of the early stage of the Spiritual Transformation. If her spiritual consciousness is strong enough, this spell will be even more perfect. Her strength in the illusion is probably at the peak of the Spiritual Transformation..."
Even though she had lived for more than 3,000 years and had seen countless strange things, this was the first time she had seen such a scene.
Within two days, let those in the Jindan stage have the experience of the Huashen stage.
This is the magic weapon.
However, before Li Yu and Qin Keren, no one had ever developed this ability of the Mountain and River Map.
She looked at Bai Qingying and said with a smile: "You are lucky. You got a great advantage by following them."
Bai Qingying lowered her head, her face slightly red, as if she was thinking about something.
I don't know who took advantage...
Zhao Xiner ran to her side and asked, "Senior Sister, what happened between you and Senior Brother Li in the illusion..."
Bai Qingying's face turned even redder, and she pretended to be calm and said, "It's nothing. We were in a fantasy world and encountered danger. I finally died..."
Zhao Xiner suddenly realized, "Oh, so that's why Senior Brother Li is so worried about you..."
At the same time, she felt relieved.
She even thought that Senior Brother Li and Senior Sister had become a couple in the illusion .
They are not in Senior Brother Li’s fantasy. If he wants to form a marriage alliance with Emei, Senior Sister is the best candidate.
At this time, the white-haired old woman looked at Xu Qingxin and said, "You can go in too."
"Thank you, senior."
Xu Qingxin walked over to the cushion that Bai Qingying had just sat on and before her consciousness entered the Mountain and River Map, she saw Bai Qingying looking at her with a complicated expression and a meaningful gaze...
After Xu Qingxin's consciousness entered the illusion, Bai Qingying asked Zhao Xiner, "Where is your Senior Brother Li?"
At this moment, she finally understood why Li Yu behaved like that after coming out of the illusion.
She never imagined that in the illusion, she actually replaced the roles of her fellow apprentice sisters and became a Taoist couple with Li Yu, accompanying them for a full two thousand years.
And Xu Qingxin also replaced her junior sister.
This is ridiculous…
No wonder he behaved like that after coming out of the illusion.
No matter what, she decided to talk to Li Yu. Some things needed to be discussed in time.
Zhao Xiner shook her head and said, "Senior Brother Li left. He left a letter saying that he would be practicing in seclusion for a while."
Even though Bai Qingying had prepared herself mentally, she still felt relieved when she heard that Li Yu was not in Emei.
This was the first time she had encountered such a thing.
She decided to wait here for Xu Qingxin to come out. It would be better for them to discuss it together than for her to face it alone.
She and Xu Qingxin were not actually very familiar with each other before, but when she saw her again at this moment, she felt very close to her.
The memories in the illusion did not have as much impact on her as on Li Yu and Qin Keren, causing her to be unable to distinguish between reality and illusion. But even if they were illusionary memories, when she recalled them at this moment, they were extremely real, as if she had really experienced them herself.
The three Zhao sisters stood in the corner, observing Bai Qingying.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhao Xiner murmured, "What's wrong with Senior Sister? Why are you crying one moment and laughing the next..."
At this moment, Southern Xinjiang.
The remains of the Piaomiao Immortal Trail.
After leaving the letter and leaving Emei, Li Yu and Senior Sister Qin came here.
After going through so much, he and Senior Sister Qin both need some time to calm down.
The experience in the illusion is different from the reality. After experiencing three hundred years in the illusion, when returning to the reality, one may not be able to accumulate enough state of mind to form a fetus. If one wants to form a fetus successfully, one may have to stay in the illusion for four hundred years, five hundred years or even longer.
Li Yu stayed in there for 3,600 years. Although he may not have reached the state of mind of spiritual transformation, it was enough to reach the state of mind of infant formation.
There is a baby-forming pill in his storage ring. With his current level of cultivation, he can already try to conceive a baby, but Li Yu is not in a hurry.
Once he forms a fetus, he will not be able to enter this relic. At that time, he will have nowhere to escape. He decided to adjust his state first, and wait until he is completely free from the interference of the illusion memory, and then leave here to try to form a fetus.
It is better to deal with the matter between Senior Sister Bai and Senior Sister Xu coldly for a while rather than facing it directly.
Every time Li Yu thought of this, he felt an indescribable melancholy in his heart.
It was a four thousand year dream. His Taoist partner became his senior sister. Chanchan, who always pestered him to explore the path of dual cultivation, would become shy when his butt was touched. Everything he was once familiar with has now become so unfamiliar.
It takes him some time to accept the reality.
Seeing Chen Ming again at the Piaomiao Xianzong ruins, Li Yu felt some emotion in his heart. He patted his shoulder gently but did not say anything.
After experiencing the ruthless years in the illusion, he actually cherishes the present more.
The way of immortality is ruthless. Today ’s friends and relatives will all turn to dust after hundreds or thousands of years. Only loneliness is eternal.
Beside Chen Ming, Wu Tong asked Li Yu with a smile, "How was it? What was it like entering the Mountain and River Map? Did you meet me in the illusion? What was my final level of cultivation? Did I achieve the Infant Formation? Did I achieve the Spiritual Transformation?"
Li Yu shook his head, "No."
"No transformation into a god?"
"There is no such person as you."
…
The smile on Wu Tong's face froze, and he said disappointedly: "It seems that in the heart of the sect master, Lao Chen is more important."
After being disappointed, he calmed down and asked curiously, "What did you encounter in the fantasy? Tell me about it. I have only seen this kind of thing in books before..."
Li Yu knew that Wu Tong was extremely curious, so he concealed some details of the illusion and roughly told him about his experiences in the illusion.
Thinking of something very strange, Li Yu asked Wu Tongdao again: "Why do I feel that after I came out of the illusion, I can cast spells more smoothly..."
Wu Tong said quietly: "That's not what you think, it's the truth..."
He continued to explain: "Among the five immortal artifacts, the Mountain and River Map is the most special one. Although its attack and defense are not as good as the others, it is the only one with this special ability. Everything you experienced in the illusion is fake, but not entirely fake...
The incarnation and void-breaking masters who had entered the Mountain and River Map once, while practicing in the Mountain and River Map, their perceptions of realms and spells would also remain in the consciousness of the Mountain and River Map. Therefore, when later people enter the Mountain and River Map, even if they have never reached a realm in reality, they can still have a real perception of it in the illusion. This is the power of immortal tools. In the last era, those geniuses relied on the Mountain and River Map to quickly improve their state of mind..."
Li Yu realized that during the ten months he spent in Shanhetu, it seemed that what had improved was not just his state of mind.
Although his magic power did not increase, his experience was that of breaking through the void.
The use of magic power by a peak Void-Breaking expert has long been deeply integrated into his soul.
…
It has been several days since he arrived in the secret realm of Southern Xinjiang. Li Yu has inquired about the demon clan and learned that Ling'er is still in the process of transformation. For the demon clan, the longer the transformation takes, the more complete it will be. Ling'er's transformation is going smoothly and he just needs to wait for news.
In the past few days, Li Yu completely isolated himself from any information from the outside world. When he had nothing to do, he would drink and chat with Wu Tong, Chen Ming, or his friends from the demon clan. His mood was indeed much better.
After some time, he should be able to completely get rid of the influence of the illusion memory and no longer be able to distinguish between reality and illusion.
Piaomiao Peak.
Li Yu stood in front of the huge statue.
In the illusion, the appearance of the ruins of Piaomiao Immortal Sect was also a turning point in his path of cultivation.
In this illusion, Li Yu obtained several imitations of immortal artifacts, which he used until he broke through the void. In addition, the Mountain and River Map also fabricated a secret cave in the Piaomiao Immortal Traces ruins, from which Li Yu obtained many well-preserved ancient elixirs, allowing everyone around him to break through the limitations of the golden elixir.
The secret cave is inside this statue.
Li Yu slowly flew up, stretched out his hand, pressed on the center of the statue's eyebrows, and the five elements of magic power in his body merged together in the order of water, gold, wood, earth, and fire.
That’s how he entered the secret cave in the illusion at that time.
But in reality, when he did all this, nothing happened.
Not only was Li Yu not disappointed, but he became more clear-headed.
Sure enough, reality is reality and illusion is illusion. The more differences there are between reality and illusion, the easier it is for him to distinguish between truth and illusion.
Just as Li Yu was about to withdraw his hand, his eyes suddenly flickered. When he opened his eyes again, he had appeared in another space.
Li Yu turned his head and looked around, looking at this huge stone chamber that was exactly the same as the one in the illusion, he was completely stunned.
"Yes, still in the illusion..."
