Chapter 1757: Chapter 1787: I’m Not Competing with You for the Illusionary Realm
Acquire the ring, the Illusionary Realm collapses, but the scenes in reality did not appear.
New high walls erged all around, with bluestone texture, and a fortress stood tall, its dim, eerie space flickered with candlelight.
“The Illusionary Realm hasn’t vanished.”
Li Xiaobai and Yu Huan Shui made the judgent simultaneously, the ring harboring the Power of Ti was taken by Li Xiaobai, spawning a new layer of the Illusionary Realm.
“Mr. Yu, this is curious, I ca in only to fight six versions of myself, while you faced nothing, lingering here and waiting for ?”
“This new layer of the Illusionary Realm is your trial, isn’t it?”
“Earlier, you barely helped outside, but now you’re on your own ga. Little brother’s cultivation level is shallow, won’t be joining you.”
Li Xiaobai tightened his grip on the ring and strode out, but the previous attic Illusionary Realm disintegrated instantly, and the gate he ca through vanished, leaving no escape.
He strongly suspected Yu Huan Shui dragged him into this; originally he could have taken the ring and left without a hitch, but due to Yu’s presence, he got entangled in a new Illusionary Realm trial.
Out of the tiger’s mouth, into the wolf’s den, his feelings were complicated.
“Little brother, don’t speak like that; I, Yu, ca to protect you out of goodwill, can’t be ungrateful.”
“Additionally, how do you know this is the test of the Illusionary Realm? What if it’s another trial of so kind of Power of Law, like before?”
“In just one day, having the chance to obtain two kinds of Laws of Power successively is a privilege even a monarch does not have, I, Yu, will foster your growth, no need to worry.”
Yu Huan Shui patted Li Xiaobai on the shoulder, his tone earnest, but his words sounded strangely like persuasion.
They bantered back and forth, arguing lively, the surrounding scene grew more vivid and real, simultaneously, both Li Xiaobai and Yu Huan Shui realized each other’s forms becoming ethereal.
“Seems like a teleport is about to occur?”
Li Xiaobai slightly frowned, teleporting at this critical mont was not ideal—his second senior sister’s physical body outside still awaited his rescue.
A flash of white light appeared, and his vision gradually restored.
He remained inside the fortress, sitting on a chair, his attire unchanged, and in the space inside the fortress, white beams of light kept flashing, as figures erged from them.
Yu Huan Shui was among the crowd.
“Wow, this ti there are quite a few people, let count, one, two, three… twelve people!”
Among the twelve, a cheeky and burly man looked around with disdain in his eyes.
“I rember there were only seven people last ti, seems like this year’s difficulty has increased significantly.”
A woman in a red dress nodded slightly, smiling seductively.
“Where do you all hail from, we’ll compete fairly, and after leaving, maybe we’ll still be friends.”
A young man with white hair glanced at everyone, smiling as he asked.
The woman in the red dress glanced at him lightly, saying indifferently, “Young man, inquiring nas in a place like this, you’re either foolish or malicious, which are you?”
“Those who walk out from here are unlikely to get the chance to be friends.”
“Don’t easily reveal your identity, otherwise it becos troubleso after getting out.”
The strangers who inexplicably appeared in the room were chatting and laughing, Li Xiaobai and Yu Huan Shui listened quietly, choosing silence unwittingly, their hearts sinking.
Judging from the situation, these people are real trial takers and have been here multiple tis, familiar with the environnt; it’s prudent not to rashly seek information, otherwise, should anyone discover their acquaintance and their ignorance of this Illusionary Realm, it would be detrintal.
“This ti, I have received accurate information from the family; this year’s trial involves the Power of Laws, and it is so kind of mighty Law.”
The woman in the red dress re-spoke, revealing a bombshell ssage, and threw a flirtatious glance towards Li Xiaobai’s direction.
Li Xiaobai nodded politely, smiling without speaking, this woman is dangerous, adept at assessing situations; sharing this ssage does her no harm, with many gathered, the test likely involves either competition fueled by cultivators’ competitive nature if it’s mutual destruction, or cooperation where past grudges are set aside for benefits.
Inside, a baby’s gibberish sounded: “All are present, announcing the rules.”
“1. The trial lasts twelve days, during which all forms of ‘Martial’ are prohibited, you must live like ordinary people.”
“2. Among you eleven entered via teleportation, but only one was summoned by ; find this person, victory rewards are split equally, fail to find the person, the reward goes solely to him.”
“3. The reward is Minor Law of Causality.”
The baby’s voice echoed innocently, yet in such a place, it carried an inexplicable eeriness; Li Xiaobai thought of the Ghost Fetus within the Ghost Gate, comparing to this baby, it had more rationale, less madness.
“Minor Law of Causality?”
“Wouldn’t the one speaking be the Power of Laws itself, what do you think, senior brother?”
Li Xiaobai asked in his heart.
Yang Chen responded, “Truly full of twists and turns, not sure if encountering Laws consecutively in Illusionary Realm trials has weakened our connection; it can’t remain closely linked as before.”
“But it’s no matter, rules set by the Power of Laws are to be adhered to by all, the consequences of disobedience are unbearable.”
“You need to swiftly ascertain who is the one summoned, that needs Yu Huan Shui’s verification, and quickly clarify the origin of other guys; those capable of teleporting to the Power of Laws trial site, few families could achieve, especially when high hierarchy within the clan refrain from coveting Power of Laws, only sending juniors here for practice, highlights this point.”
Yang Chen’s voice grew increasingly faint, realizing the ti left for speaking was limited, poured out everything he could think of.
Everything fits well: the rule of the trial is to find out who the Summoner is; these playfully reckless young individuals, at first glance, seem to hail from privileged backgrounds.
Whether it’s the white-haired young man deliberately flaunting mischievousness, or the red-dressed woman feigning depth, their manners feel superficial, highlighting only the surface.
There’s only one explanation: maybe they are skilled with great power, but the personas constructed here stand out too prominently; even before the assessnt begins, such prominence is not advantageous, Li Xiaobai believes soone other than himself has already overshadowed these overtly audacious youthful cultivators.
Though upon reflection, win or lose, this trial seems irrelevant to him.
Having already obtained the Power of Ti, the Minor Law of Causality doesn’t stir him, and the person summoned is Yu Huan Shui; winning or losing bears no consequence for himself.
Just need to do nothing, exit quickly.
“Heh heh, Mr. Yu, don’t bla , not contending for the Law is already the best assistance.”
