Chapter 398 Xanadu

Flying aimlessly in the illusion, soon Yunjing looked back and could no longer see the outside world.

More than a thousand meters into the illusion, due to inexplicable interference, the observation range of his telekinesis was reduced ten times, and he could only observe a range of one thousand meters. The further distance was hazy and blurry, like a thick fog.

"If I hadn't been able to see the reality under the illusion, and if I hadn't had the ability to remember my photograph, I wouldn't have dared to run into this illusion without these two abilities. If I wasn't careful, I would have gotten lost and couldn't get out."

With this thought in mind, he turned back and continued wandering aimlessly.

Not long after, he had gone thousands of meters deep into the illusion, but compared to the hundreds of kilometers of illusion, he was still just wandering around the edge.

Then he saw an animal he had never seen before.

That animal looks like a cat, but it has a long scorpion tail, and its body length is more than one meter without the tail.

"Scorpion-tailed cat? The sting at the top of its tail is extremely venomous at first glance. It's really a strange thing in the world."

It was amazing to see this kind of animal cloudscape that I had never seen before.

The unique feline movement is extremely sensitive and can be said to walk silently. However, it is obviously affected by the illusion. It is just because it lives in this kind of place and is extremely familiar with the environment that it can move freely in an area.

It is easy to judge whether that kind of animal is affected by the illusion. The fact that Yun Jing failed to detect him even though he was more than ten meters away is enough to illustrate the situation.

Even though that thing poses no threat to him, and he is now able to get close to large animals, Yunjing has no intention of petting the cat. In fact, if the tail of that thing is given to him, he doesn't know if he can withstand it.

, it’s better to be careful.

"There are a lot of cats like this. However, they are affected by the illusion and cannot detect other creatures a few meters away. How do they survive? Do they wait for the prey to come to their mouths?"

It's really hard to judge this kind of thing. Out of curiosity, Yun Jing observed it for a while and finally found out how that thing hunted, relying on its sense of smell.

I saw the unique scorpion-tailed cat walking through the illusion and sniffing everywhere. It could smell the smell of prey within about three meters, and then hunted it.

In this way, Yunjing said, after all, they are creatures that can live in illusions and always have some unique survival skills.

After a little observation, Yunjing went to another place.

In the following period, he saw many animals. In fact, except for a few special animals such as scorpion-tailed cats, the ecology in the fantasy world is quite rich. Everything that should be found in the outside world is here, just to adapt to the environment.

The animals here are all outstanding in one aspect.

For example, most of the flying animals here rely on vibrations in the air to determine their environment and prey. Most of the animals walking on the ground have extremely sensitive senses of smell, and some rely on vibrations on the ground...

After the initial curiosity was satisfied, I lost interest in the cloudscape of animals living in the illusion. To put it bluntly, they were still affected by the illusion, but they just had unique survival skills.

In addition, this fantasy land can be called a treasure. There are many precious medicinal materials that are rare to see outside. For example, Yunjing saw a lot of ginseng. He was not a professional and could not tell the year, but some ginseng roots were as long as

It is one meter old, and the firewood is already dry. It must be quite old.

Another example is menstruation grass, a precious medicinal herb that can nourish the meridians of warriors in the later stages of life. Two leaves are rare in the outside world, but in the fantasy world, there are many three leaves and five leaves...

Yunjing has no plans to pick them yet, but he can take some away when he leaves.

"Think about it. It's easy to get in and out of this illusion. No one has set foot in it. Even if you are affected by the illusion after setting foot in it, you won't be able to see these precious medicinal materials. If no one picks them, there will naturally be more of them over time. It's a natural treasure house. It is simply valuable.

"

While observing the environment in the fantasy world as he went deeper, Yunjing wanted to go to the center to take a look first. He didn't know if there was any blank area in the fantasy world with a diameter of several hundred miles, so he had to take a look before talking.

He had already thought about it. If there was nothing special in the center of the illusion, then he would walk around the entire illusion area and imprint all the terrain into his mind. Having experienced the spirit gathering array, he was wondering if he would have the chance to artificially

Create such an illusion.

if you can……

"Illusion Array plus Spirit Gathering Array? If you can really create the Illusion Array, you will be able to build a refuge from the world in the future. But having said that, even if you can create the Illusion Array artificially, it will definitely be difficult to superimpose it with the Spirit Gathering Array. The two

Superposition is not as simple as one plus one equals two... Why are you thinking so much? It’s nothing.”

Whoosh~!

Flying quickly over a distance of several hundred meters, the cloud scene fell to the ground, and he saw a skeleton, a human skeleton.

A closer look revealed that this skeleton had been there for who knows how many years. It had already been severely weathered, and now only some bones were left. Even the items on the body had been decomposed by nature, making it impossible to discern any useful information.

"I think I probably entered it by mistake, and then I couldn't get out and died here."

After looking around for a moment, he continued to move deeper into the center of the illusion.

This area is very large, and Yunjing's telepathic observation range here is limited. Even after going dozens of miles deep, he can only see the skeleton at the beginning. However, he believes that there must be many people who died in this illusion, but he did not see it.

Just arrived.

This illusion has existed for who knows how many years, and there are always people who enter it by mistake. Whenever you come in, unless you can see the reality like Yun Jing, it is almost impossible to get out...

So is this illusion formed naturally or man-made? If it is the latter, it would be scary for people with such means to think about it.

Yunjing tended to be a natural illusion, just like the spirit gathering array in the Insect Beast Mountain. Before this, he had never heard of anyone having such a method. There were no written records, and the characters in the mythical realm did not have it.

Such means.

Continuing to go deeper, Yunjing discovered that the closer to the center of the illusion, the more powerful the creatures inside were, and their survivability became more powerful.

A ten-foot-long python, a three-meter-tall wild boar, a bear that stands six or seven meters tall, an eagle with a wingspan of more than ten meters, a tiger that is four to five meters tall, a pack of wolves that are two to three meters long...

These cloudscapes have been seen in illusions. They are rare, but they do exist.

There is spiritual energy between the heaven and the earth in this world. Although there is not a strong concentration of spiritual energy like inside the Chongshou Mountain, it is not surprising that the isolated environment has given birth to a powerful biological cloudscape.

It's just that the animals here are much different from those in the natural spirit gathering array of Insect Beast Mountain. For now, anyone with an innate realm of cultivation is not afraid of those creatures, but there is a prerequisite, that is, they must be able to

See!

Being in an illusion, people's senses are affected by the illusion, and the creatures inside are already familiar with the environment. In the event of a sneak attack, the innate realm's cultivation may not know how to die.

"There is actually a gold mine!"

He picked up a piece of gold nugget the size of a fist from the air, and Yun Jing raised his eyebrows slightly. Under his telepathic observation, there was a gold mine underground, and it was not small. At least now, he could only see part of the gold mine due to the interference of his telekinesis.

This fantasy land is truly a treasure.

The dog-headed Jin Yunjing took it with him. This thing was worth a lot of money, so he could just use it as money. He picked it up, so he didn't throw it away.

"I have gone deep into the illusion for more than a hundred and almost two hundred miles. I should be almost at the center. If there is nothing special about the center, I will go across it and then walk through the entire illusion to imprint the topography into my mind and see if I can artificially

Restore the illusion”

Continuing forward, Yunjing was slightly surprised that as he got closer to the center of the illusion, he saw human bones again. Not only that, but there were gradually more of them!

"It doesn't make sense. Could it be that people who mistakenly fall into the illusion instinctively converge towards the center? Otherwise, why would there be more human corpses as they get closer to the center..."

He couldn't figure it out, but Yunjing wasn't too entangled. After all, he was not someone else. Without being disturbed by the illusion, he couldn't understand the behavior and feelings of others in it.

However, not long after, Yunjing stopped at a place and couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

In front of him was a human skeleton, and the skeleton was relatively intact. Even the clothes worn on the skeleton were still there, and it was vaguely possible to tell that it was animal skins.

There was a knife beside the bones, but it was badly rusted.

"Could it be that……"

Looking ahead in the direction of the center of the illusion, Yunjing had some kind of guess in his mind. As for whether his guess was correct, just go and take a look.

Continuing on the journey, as more and more corpses were found on the ground, after about two hundred miles into the illusion, the cloudscape suddenly opened up "before my eyes"!

There was no illusion interference in front of him, but a large 'blank' area, about ten kilometers away. Here, his suppressed telepathic observation range returned.

The reason why this is a 'blank' area and not an illusion is because what Yunjing sees with his mind is the same as what he sees with the naked eye.

I don’t know why, but outside the fantasy world it’s a freezing winter, but here, it’s full of birds singing and the fragrance of flowers.

Green plants cover the hillside, colorful flowers bloom brightly, the water flows, and the breeze is gentle. This is a paradise.

Especially since there are actually people living here, and quite a few of them!

Standing at the edge of this area, Yunjing saw that there were people living there, and his heart suddenly sank. The first thing he thought of was, could the illusion covering hundreds of miles of land outside really be man-made?

If so, I'm afraid it's the people who live here. With such means, how powerful are the people who live here?

Furthermore, would people with such means be friendly to my arrival?

Yunjing always has to maintain some vigilance against the unknown.

Standing on the edge and quietly observing this place, Yun Jing was ready to run away immediately when he saw something was wrong.

However, after some observation, Yunjing gradually felt relieved. Although there were many people here, they were not the strange people he imagined. The people who lived here were still ordinary people.

Of course, there are also powerful ones. During Yunjing's observation, he 'saw' three powerful people with true artistic conception. In addition, there were also many innate realms.

It is unbelievable to say that the true artistic conception and the innate realm can produce illusory cloudscapes covering hundreds of miles of land.

According to Yunjing's observation, the total number of people living here is only about three hundred, and almost all of them are elderly people. There are also children, but judging from their heads, there are less than ten under ten years old, and there are not many young people.

, about twenty, even fewer women, and less than ten including children.

There is a huge gap in the ratio of men to women here, and the population is aging too seriously.

The people living here gather together in the form of a village. Aside from the paradise-like environment and the center of the fantasy world, it looks no different from an ordinary village in the outside world.

Farmhouse, cultivated fields...

One thing worth paying attention to in Yunjing is that the people living here have very primitive tools. They have almost no iron tools, they are all made of stone or wood, and they do not have livestock such as chickens, ducks, cattle, and sheep.

"So, is this really an isolated paradise? If I were an ordinary person, if I were to take a trip here and get out by chance, would I be able to write a memoir about Peach Blossom Spring?"

When Yunjing was looking around here, someone quickly spotted him.

That was an old man working in the fields. He looked to be sixty or seventy years old. Such an old farmer actually had an innate level of cultivation!

When he saw Yun Jing, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and then a trace of regret flashed in his eyes, and he thought he had sinned again. Then he came up from the field, waved to Yun Jing and said, "Young man, don't be so stupid.

Come here, do you have a lot of questions? It doesn’t matter, I can answer you slowly.”

Children, do you have a lot of questions...

With this sentence flashing through his mind, Yunjing walked over and bowed his hands and said: "Old man, this junior does have a lot of doubts. I don't know where to start asking."

The other party spoke the language of the Dali Dynasty, but what surprised Yunjing was that his accent was more southern. To put it more bluntly, his accent was similar to that of Wangjiang County, Jiangzhou, where Yunjing was located.

This surprised Yunjing. In this northern land, especially in the center of the illusion, he could actually hear the local accent!

Looking at the approaching Yun Jing, the regret in the old man's eyes became even stronger. He shook his head and sighed: "Young man, judging from your speech and behavior, you are a scholar, right? With this appearance, you are a good young man. What a pity..."

Wei Wei was stunned, Yun Jing didn't understand, and asked: "Old man, the younger generation has indeed spent some time studying, but why is it a pity to say it?"

"Young man, you came here by chance, isn't that a pity?" The old man shook his head and continued to lament.

Yun Jing quickly understood what the other party meant, and said, "Old man, you mean that I might never be able to get out again when I come here, so that's why you say it's a pity, right?"

"A person who has read a book has a flexible mind. Yes, that's what I mean. I have been here for decades. Over the years, people always come here by chance every one or two years, but after they come, they never come out again."

I won’t go,” the other party said melancholy.

After thinking for a while, Yun Jing said: "That's not right. No one has ever tried to leave?"

"Why not? When you came, you must have seen a lot of corpses. That's what you will get if you try to leave. If you can come here, you must have a certain understanding of the evils and dangers outside. If you want to leave again, it will be easier said than done." The other party said with a bitter smile.
