The room was empty, without any furniture, as if the fire he saw just now was an illusion.
Just when Qin Shaoyou was confused, he suddenly felt an unusually dazzling white light shining in front of him. When this scene fell in the eyes of Meng Feijian and others, Qin Shaoyou disappeared along with the entire courtyard.
When Qin Shaoyou opened his eyes again, he had already appeared in a dark cave.
Not far away is the familiar octagonal pavilion.
"We meet again."
Kunwuzi stood at the edge of the pavilion and looked at him with a smile.
Qin Shaoyou raised his eyes and saw that besides Kun Wuzi, there was also a black-haired man sitting at the stone table behind him.
The man had his back turned to him, as if he was thinking about something.
He didn't turn around when he heard the noise.
But when he saw this person, he felt palpitations for some reason, as if something was about to rush out of his body.
He hurriedly adjusted his breathing and activated his spiritual power, and it took him a while to get better.
"Kunwuzi, what do you want to do after you put so much effort into asking me to go to Beiling Mountain?"
"Isn't it just to help me improve my realm?!"
Hearing this, Kunwuzi's eyes flashed with surprise, but he still smiled lightly and said:
"It's a long story. Come over and have a drink together."
As he spoke, he flicked his long sleeves and turned back to the stone table.
Qin Shaoyou paused, and then walked towards the Bajiao Pavilion.
After sitting down, he discovered that the black-haired man was actually wearing a black mask. At this time, the latter was already in meditation with a cup of steaming tea, his eyes closed tightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.
Kunwuzi smiled faintly, poured a cup of hot tea and placed it in front of Qin Shaoyou, drawing his attention back.
"Do you know where we are in this world?"
Qin Shaoyou took the hot tea but didn't drink it.
He remembered his previous experience in the West Magic Mountain Cave, and after a pause he replied:
"Since this place is called the Nine Continents and Four Seas Realm... it should be some kind of secret realm, right?"
This cannot be blamed on Qin Shaoyou for being too naive. After all, he has never really come into contact with the secrets behind the Immortal Sect. The only ones who know these secrets are Mu Qing and Zuo Qingfeng, and both of them have been killed by him.
"Yes, this is indeed a secret realm, but there are far more secret realms like this!"
"The place we are in now is actually the inside of a tower called Samsara Glazed Tower!"
"No matter how many Jiuzhou and Four Seas there are, they are just illusions evolved inside this tower, worlds that did not originally exist!"
"And what you call the upper realm is the real heaven and earth, the real world!"
Qin Shaoyou was stunned when he heard this.
this...
What are they all about?
"You mean, this is a... virtual world?"
"We are all virtual and non-existent?"
Kunwuzi thought this statement was relatively novel, but it explained their current situation very well.
He nodded and replied,
"If you understand it this way, that's fine."
Qin Shaoyou swallowed the interference in his throat subconsciously,
"What about... those seniors who successfully ascended?"
"Where did they go?"
"Ascension?"
Kunwuzi smiled jokingly,
"No wonder you think so. When the Immortal Gate still existed, all the people who passed through the Immortal Gate were killed without a trace. Therefore, when you see those people disappear, you think they have successfully ascended. It is natural.
It should be."
etc!
Passing through the fairy gate...is equivalent to being killed?
Qin Shaoyou's heart was shocked again.
"The Immortal Sect...kills people?"
Unexpectedly, when talking about this, Kunwuzi showed a slightly sinister smile.
"Have you practiced a Taoist technique called Ten Thousand Fa Immortal Art?"
"What is its main ability?"
This question shocked Qin Shaoyou.
He couldn't help but start to get suspicious, how could this guy know everything?
However, when I thought about it, Kunwuzi had already asked, so it would be pointless for him to be more secretive.
"Can...devour spiritual power and smelt other Taoist arts..."
Kunwuzi laughed, nodded and said:
"This Immortal Secret of Ten Thousand Dharma is the embodiment of this Immortal Sect's weapon spirit!"
"And back then, this Immortal Sect also had such abilities!"
"Everyone who passes through the Immortal Gate will have their spiritual power and Taoism devoured by the Immortal Gate. The Taoism and Taoism will remain on the door, while the spiritual power will be turned into spiritual energy and returned to this world, without exception!"
"That man named Ye Feng used his sword to destroy the Immortal Sect because he discovered this secret!"
"And this is the truth of this world!"
"All of us are trapped here and have become enlightened beings in captivity!"
"Do you still think that those people have successfully ascended?"
Qin Shaoyou was shocked, and his heart was like a tide that could not calm down for a long time.
Captive...enlightened person?!
this...
Don't you think that the immortal cultivators here are like...animals?!
"So, wouldn't it mean we...never get out?"
Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
Unexpectedly, Kunwuzi smiled mysteriously, shook his head and said:
"The Immortal Sect's artifacts and spirits are lost, and the Immortal Sect cannot be reshaped. In order to obtain enough new Taoist techniques, Sikong Kongming, who is in charge of the Samsara Glazed Tower, opened the Samsara Glazed Tower thousands of years ago, allowing disciples from various sects to enter the illusion of the tower to participate.
Trial."
"These trialists can experience a realm far beyond their real cultivation level in the illusion, and it is easier to obtain different Taoist techniques. However, as a price, the trialists have to leave behind the Taoist techniques obtained from the illusion when they leave.
You need to take the Sanling Pill to return your body to the state it was in when they came in."
"If you can go to the Hall of Reincarnation as a trialist, you might be able to leave here!"
Trialist.
A new term has appeared.
Qin Shaoyou had an eye-opening experience today.
These trialists also played the role of the previous immortal sect, helping the guy named Kong Kong to "enlighten the Tao". However, there was one thing that Qin Shaoyou noticed in particular.
The Immortal Sect returns all the spiritual energy of those who "ascended" to this illusion. The tester needs to take the spirit-dispersing pill and spit out the spiritual energy absorbed into the body from this illusion.
It's as if the aura of this illusion is precious and cannot be taken away.
When Qin Shaoyou raised this doubt to Kunwuzi, the latter laughed loudly and said:
"I thought you wouldn't notice!"
"This is the answer to your question!"
Well..
Answer...?
Qin Shaoyou was a little confused. What does this have to do with his improvement in cultivation?
"The total amount of spiritual energy in this illusion is limited. It's like rice in a pot. If others eat too much, you won't have to eat. After a few meals, you will starve to death!"
“If you want to survive, you must take away other people’s jobs and leave others with nothing to eat!”
"You are now equipped with the Immortal Sect's Weapon Spirit, and you are the best pair of bowls and chopsticks. If you use other people's cultivation for your own use, you will be able to advance to a higher cultivation!"
"Going to the Hall of Reincarnation is indeed a good idea, but you still need to be prepared!"
"That Illusion Guardian, Taoist Xu Ling, is in the early stage of the Dacheng Realm. You must have the strength to defeat him in order to be able to advance and retreat!"
