Volume 5: The Ancient Glorious Empire Chapter 98: Alien Illusory Spirit
After half a year of construction, the land outside the Burning City has been lined with tall buildings, and the magnificent buildings are shrouded in mysterious light.
This is the light of treasure and ritual.
The entire city of Burning Fire is protected by a giant ritual formation, but many large chambers of commerce and shops under the jurisdiction of powerful forces also have their own defensive rituals.
This is not only for safety, but also a reflection of the store's strength.
Similar to the period when it was an eighth-level oasis, the City of Fire, which had been promoted to ninth-level, did not fully utilize the oasis land, and large tracts of land still remained outside the city walls.
Part of these lands are used to park vehicles for foreign teams.
Some awakened people also spontaneously formed small trading gatherings outside the city.
Within the oasis, every inch of land is worth a lot of money and is filled with the smell of fireworks.
But outside the oasis separated by a wall of fog, it is not all desolate and silent.
A wide, neatly built road extends straight into the depths of the gray fog.
Anti-fog street lamps stand on both sides of the road, emitting soft, dim light, like a guiding light for lost people.
The closer we got to the oasis, the brighter the lights became and the thinner the gray fog became.
Even if the awakened ones turn off the fog-removing lights in their hands, they can still clearly see the scene hundreds of meters away.
"But these facilities are all in the gray fog. Won't they be destroyed by evil spirits?"
The land shrouded in gray fog could breed evil at any time, and it was hard to guard against.
"Perhaps it's because there are Awakened people patrolling the land outside the oasis all the time... This proves that the power of the Burning City is indeed strong. The title of the first force of mankind may not be an empty talk."
Two figures walked out from the gray fog in the distance.
They are just like the most ordinary awakened ones. They do not ride on any gorgeous or majestic chariots, but just rely on their legs to walk slowly in the dangerous world .
However, both of them have an ethereal and mysterious temperament that makes them stand out from the crowd.
It was as if the princes and nobles were mingling among the common people;
Just like the noble myth to ordinary mortals;
However, they did not attract anyone's attention. Neither the Awakened ones nor the caravans passing by, nor the occasional patrols from the City of Fire passing by on the sides of the road, no one cast their eyes towards them.
Like a ghost that does not exist in this world.
There were two figures, one of them looked middle-aged, with an unspeakable sense of vicissitudes in his eyes, and the other one looked like a young girl in her twenties, exuding the aura of youth.
But they are not human.
They are the illusory spirits, a mysterious race that exists almost only in legends.
This is indeed true.
Tens of thousands of years ago, traces of the illusory spirit could occasionally be found in some places in the strange world, but today, the name of the illusory spirit only exists in ancient books.
Only a very small number of powerful humans know that the legendary life form of the illusory spirit still exists.
Right in the Elemental Spirit Court.
And he is one of the royal families of the Elemental Spirit Court! It is said that in the past, a great being of the Illusionary Spirit Clan, together with several other great elemental beings, took the lead in establishing the Elemental Spirit Court, a transcendent force.
Today, the overall strength of the Illusionary Spirit is far beyond what it was before.
Especially the number of strong ones.
Once the Illusory Spirits reached adulthood, they were already in the Myth Realm. If they worked hard, it would not be difficult for them to cultivate to the Demigod Realm. And with a “considerable” number of Demigods, there were far more than one high-ranking being born in the Illusory Spirit group.
only,
The fat middle-aged man looked melancholy.
"We, the Illusionary Spirits, are powerful, but our people are becoming increasingly scarce. If this continues, we, the Illusionary Spirits, will completely disappear in the long river of history."
The young girl couldn't quite understand.
She was just a very young illusory spirit who had been born "not long ago".
The middle-aged man was different. He had lived for a very long time, longer than most demigods. He also witnessed the continuous decline of the number of people in the Illusionary Spirit lineage.
From more than one hundred and forty people.
To more than 130 people.
Then there were more than one hundred and twenty people.
In a few years, the number of illusory spirits may be less than three digits.
This is related to the life characteristics of the illusory spirits. There are male and female illusory spirits, but they cannot reproduce by mating.
The birth of an illusory spirit is either a natural gathering of the laws of heaven, earth and space.
Otherwise, the previous generation of illusory spirits would use their own life source as the core to breed offspring. However, this approach would damage the illusory spirits' own source and lifespan. They would usually only consume their life source to breed when they were old.
And in a lifetime, only one illusory spirit can be born.
In other words, if the heaven and earth cannot give birth to new illusory spirits, the overall number of illusory spirits will at most remain the same.
Any slight accident will result in a reduction in the total amount.
"In the past tens of thousands of years, no new members of our tribe have been born, but..."
"Two or three years ago, during the human trial, a member of our tribe who was not in our Elemental Spirit Court appeared. She was very young, perhaps..."
New illusory spiritual life is born naturally in the strange world.
After years of investigation, they locked on to the human force "Xinhuo".
It is very likely that this young fellow is temporarily living within the Xinhuo force.
"Uncle Hong, are we going to find this sister this time?" the girl chattered.
The middle-aged man Hong Yuan nodded, "How could we let our people live in exile? Of course, if this youngster grew up in a human power, it would not be so easy to get her to return to the Elemental Spirit Court with us."
"What should we do then?"
"Uncle will convince them."
The middle-aged man paused and said, "A force like the Xinhuo Organization does not lack a mythical strongman. Even if she is a special illusory spirit, we can make the organization relent through some exchange of interests."
They have few people and little consumption. They also have the talent of space travel, and can go deep into some dangerous places to obtain treasures.
The last thing they lack is wealth.
No other group is richer than them!
"If the organization values this young man very much, then they should understand that only in the Elemental Spirit Court can the Illusory Spirit be truly cultivated and promoted to a demigod, or even... have a glimpse of the legendary high realm."
Speaking of the high realm, Demigod Hongyuan also felt a little melancholy.
The illusory spirits are born mythical, and have innate talents that even ancient beings envy. Their lifespans are also longer, but the price is... their path to a high position is more difficult to climb.
The middle-aged man has remained at the peak of demigod for more than six thousand years.
He has also touched upon many laws, including the laws of space.
But even so, he still couldn't lock in his path to a high position.
He is still a demigod.
Of course, he was also confident that he had no rivals among demigods, let alone human demigods.
The two walked into the Burning City while observing.
The city was magnificent, but it meant nothing to the two of them.
The main city of the Elemental Spirit Court is more magnificent than this place and more in line with their aesthetics.
However, the awakened people coming and going along the way still a little frightened Hongyuan, the super veteran demigod.
"It seems to be a myth."
“That also seems to be a myth.”
"But he doesn't seem to have any aura of a strong person."
Myths should be noble and unique.
The few myths he discovered looked like ordinary passers-by, very ordinary. He was wondering if he had seen it wrong, but Demigod Hongyuan was very confident in his eyesight and detection ability.
Um?
He looked into the distance.
A tall woman was walking towards us from a distance.
The woman was Bai Yansi, the famous housekeeper in the Burning City. The middle-aged demigod did not recognize her, but his intuition told him that she was also a demigod.
They had just entered the oasis for a short time and they were discovered?
Theoretically, the forms created by their illusory spirits are no different from those of humans, right?
Perhaps, there just happened to be someone in a higher position who paid attention to it?
"Two guests, our mentor wants to see you."
…
The two illusory spirits originally wanted to visit the strong men of the Xinhuo organization, but they didn't expect to meet the helmsman of the organization as soon as they arrived.
Demigod Hongyuan was somewhat surprised.
Perhaps, achieving the goal of this trip will be easier than imagined?
He visited Xinhuo on behalf of the Elemental Spirit Court and the Illusionary Spirit lineage.
After a brief chat, he carefully proposed to meet the illusory spirit in the Xinhuo organization.
When making this request, Demigod Hongyuan was nervous.
He claimed that he was invincible in the demigod realm, but now he was facing a high-ranking opponent!
He originally just came here to investigate, but who would have thought that he would be discovered by someone in a higher position as soon as he arrived.
Teacher Fang looked at the two people in front of him with a little curiosity.
Apart from Xiao Huan, this was the first time he had seen a living illusory spirit.
How strange.
He thought for a moment and said, "Okay."
As a great Xinhuo, there is no need to hide Xiaohuan's identity.
As soon as he finished speaking, a golden light gathered from not far away and transformed into a lively young girl wearing a knee-length skirt and beige short-sleeved shirt.
The girl looked at the two people in front of her, with a lot of curiosity and joy in her eyes.
Her age was about the same as that of the young illusory spirit girl, only a little younger, and the two of them soon started chattering.
Talk about some adventure experiences.
Talking about many interesting things about the Elemental Spirit Court.
Xiao Huan listened with great interest, and immediately started to collect and organize the information. This was purely instinctive.
Seeing that they were chatting happily, Fang You did not stay any longer and left the space here to Xiao Huan. He naturally trusted his own Xiao Huan.
Xiao Huan was quite happy when he first met his fellow tribesmen.
During this chat, half a day passed in the blink of an eye.
We had a great conversation.
There were no high-ranking officials present.
Demigod Hongyuan attacked from the side to test Xiaohuan's intentions.
He originally thought it was a sure thing, but who would have thought that as soon as he opened his mouth, Xiao Huan's smile disappeared.
“I will always be a torchbearer.”
"...Miss Xiaohuan, you should understand that only in the Elemental Spirit Court can you receive the best training and not waste your talent. The inheritance and the inheritance of the Elemental Spirit Court are completely different."
Xiao Huan shook his head, his expression becoming even more unfriendly.
She looked at the demigod in front of her for a few seconds and said, "If the demigods of the Elemental Spirit Court are only at this level, huh, it's better not to brag."
Hongyuan Demigod: “?”
He is an invincible demigod, who has touched the existence of several laws with his demigod body!
He wanted to show off his skills and broaden the horizons of the younger generation.
As soon as he thought about it, the laws of travel appeared like fireflies, lingering around him.
It makes him more ethereal and ethereal.
But the next moment, his eyes widened.
He seemed to see endless light, endless space, and endless gate, which continued to spread from the young man in front of him.
There are countless lines.
Lines formed by the interweaving power of laws.
Looking at the fluorescent spots around him again, Demigod Hongyuan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
This is not right.
Isn't he a young illusory spirit ?
Xiao Huan spoke up, "I also have a suggestion. Why don't you stay here and see what the best training is."
After a pause, she looked at the demigod Hongyuan and said with disdain, "You can't do it. You are too old. Let this sister stay."
Hongyuan Demigod: “?”
