Chapter 09: The Illusion World

The fantasy world is a strange space between reality and illusion.

There are many known or unknown illusion worlds in the entire Tianling Continent, and their attributes are also different. There are dragon stone illusion worlds with gravity stronger than those in the outside world, spiritual illusion worlds with higher spiritual power concentration than those in the outside world, and there are even illusion worlds with lust to stimulate people's hearts and confuse their minds with illusions.

What the Nie family owns is the illusion of life and death.

No matter what kind of fantasy world it is, spiritual masters can pull their soul out of their bodies through the unique "phantom spirit stones" and enter them to form a life form that looks real and false. In the fantasy world, after a person dies, the soul will return to the body, provided that the head is not bombarded into pieces.

The Nie family's illusion world of life and death allows the spiritual master to experience the process between life and death with a sense that is nearly ten times more sensitive than usual at the moment of death. It is said that in this process of death, the spiritual master can clearly feel his life being lost bit by bit.

In the outside world, death is just a matter of a moment, and you can't even feel the pain, but in the illusion of life and death, the passage of death is equal to tens or hundreds of times longer. People have to endure severe pain while watching themselves slowly die.

There is a great horror between life and death.

Only by feeling the horror of death can you understand the preciousness of life. Moreover, after experiencing death, a person's will and nature may undergo a qualitative transformation. This is why every five years when the illusion world is opened, the Nie family will choose spiritual masters under the age of twenty and above the sixth level of spiritual gathering to go in and experience it.

It can be said that no matter what kind of illusion world, it can play a great auxiliary role in the spiritual master's cultivation. However, no spiritual master can see through the reason for the illusion world. He only knows that all the illusion worlds discovered are things left over from the illusion era.

It is said that before the "Tianling Age", humans used the "Phantom Spirit Age". At that time, this continent was called the Phantom Spirit Continent.

About ten thousand years ago, the Phantom Spirit Continent had some accidents of the collapse of the sky and the earth. Most humans died. Even those who survived had forgotten everything. Almost all the written materials that could prove that they had existed in that era disappeared without a trace. Except for the occasional fragments of remains engraved with strange words, the history of the Phantom Spirit Continent was basically blank.

The Age of Phantom Spirits, for the humans in the Spirit Continent today, it is just myths and legends. The illusion world, as the legacy of the Phantom Spirits Age, has been covered with a mysterious color. Since ancient times, generations of powerful spiritual masters have been studying its structural principles, but unfortunately there has been no progress.

The illusion world can actively absorb the abilities of heaven and earth and maintain its own operation, but it also has a fatal flaw, that is, as long as the spiritual master enters it exceeds the limit that the illusion world can bear, cracks will appear, or even collapse and destruction. Of course, everyone understands the preciousness of the illusion world, so no matter what sect or family it is, they will carefully protect it after obtaining the illusion world, and generally there will be no such artificial accidents.

You should know that many families, sects, and even royal families in the Tianling Continent flourished because of the illusion world. The Nie family is the best example.

Three hundred years ago, the Nie family was just a medium-sized family in the Dacheng Empire.

At that time, the head of the Nie family accidentally discovered the life and death illusion world and the Ice Flame Cave here, and moved the entire family over and strictly guarded the secrets of the illusion world. After nearly a hundred years of development, the Nie family made a big splash in the "Clan Alliance" of the Dacheng Empire and ranked among the top five. This led to the reputation and prosperity of the Nie family for so many years. Even the Jiyang City was the size of the Nie family.

Only when there is a illusion of life and death can there be a Nie family. This is a good thing.

"The illusion of life and death? Haha, I am all people who have died once. I have to go to the illusion of life and death to experience that false feeling of death?"

Walking home, thinking about the rumors about the Nie family's life and death illusion world, Nie Kong couldn't help but smile. Since he heard from Nie Qingfeng that he was expected to enter the illusion world, Nie Kong has asked someone for some time during his cultivation these days, and compared the memories in his mind, he has some understanding of the life and death illusion world. Recently, in the drill field, you can hear comments about the candidates for the "life and death illusion world" almost at any time.

This is what Elder Nine just talked about when he was talking about.

If another young clan of the sidelines heard that the Ninth Elder was summoned by him personally, he would probably be flattered and frightened. Nie Kong didn't feel anything. He knew very well that the Ninth Elder specifically talked to him because of the potential and value he had shown recently.

In six or seven days, he quickly increased from the first level of spirit gathering to the ninth level of spirit gathering. Such speed is naturally worthy of the attention of the family. If Nie Kong is still a half-dead sick person, others will not even look at him directly, and even the Ninth Elder will not remember that he had treated this sick person.

Nie Kong was not interested in what Elder Ninth said about experiencing life and death and realizing life and death. What he cared most was that the sentence that Elder Ninth mentioned in a joke-like tone was that there were some extremely rare herbs in the illusion of life and death, and even treasures similar to spiritual weapons.

This is the most strange thing in the fantasy world. It is said that it is real. As long as you pay a little attention, the spirit master will not really die inside. But it is said that he is false, but there are mountains, water, flowers, plants, trees, and even a large number of ordinary animals and spirit beasts are still alive.

"Today is the thirteenth, tomorrow is the fourteenth, and the day after tomorrow is the day when the illusion of life and death is opened."

Nie Kong muttered secretly, feeling a little worried. He heard that he could stay in the illusion world for up to seven days, and only Hua Mei was at home during this period. Nie Fengxing, Wu Tong and others hated him to the core. If they came to harass him, Hua Mei would be unable to deal with it.

"Big Radish apprentice."

Suddenly, a crisp sound penetrated into my ears.

Knowing this nickname, the only one who can also call herself by this nickname is Mu Hongling! Nie Kong quickly looked in the sound and found that at the fork in the forks not far from the side, a pretty girl in red clothes was waving at him with a smile.

I haven't seen her for many days... I suddenly thought of an idea, and Nie Kong suddenly felt his eyes lit up. Wouldn't it be a waste to not use such good resources? So Nie Kong greeted her with a smile on his face and greeted him enthusiastically: "So it's you, little master."

"Don't add the word 'small' after saying it."

Mu Hongling showed off her master's style, tightly had a round face, and said majestic lesson, "Bad apprentice, how have you practiced after you haven't seen him for so many days?"

Nie Kong shook his head and said, "The low speed gear is good, but the medium speed is not very good. He adjusted the gyro to medium speed for several days and practiced, and he could only hold it for about twenty times at most and then be caught."

"Progress so fast?" Mu Hongling was a little surprised.

It was only after she entered the psychic realm that she began to practice medium-speed gyros. Moreover, it took nearly half a month to achieve Nie Kong's level. However, when Nie Kong's tone seemed a little dissatisfied, Mu Hongling suddenly became a little crazy.

After humming twice, the little girl said coquettishly: "Bad apprentice, you are starting to be unbearable again. You still pretend to be modest in front of me? I am your master! I treat the master as an outsider, and it seems that it is itchy again." Mu Hongling rolled up her sleeves, and her two beautiful jade arms danced in front of Nie Kong, as if she was teaching a lesson.

Nie Kong smiled and said, "My little master, I don't treat you as an outsider. Just so happens that I have something to ask you to help you now."

"Speak quickly, speak quickly."

Mu Hongling thought that Nie Kong's help was about cultivation, and she smiled like a flower, and the corners of her mouth trembled with dimples. She had not yet enjoyed her master's addiction, and no longer cared about the small words in front of her master, "The disciple's affairs are naturally the master's affairs. As long as she can help, the master will never refuse."

Nie Kong hurriedly said: "A little busy is just a small job for the little master. However, before I talk about it, I would like to ask, how many days will you stay in Jiyang City?"

"At least one month, why are you asking this?" Mu Hongling glanced at Nie Kong in confusion.

"That's right. I'm going to enter the fantasy world the day after tomorrow, and only my sister-in-law is left at home. I'm worried that she will be harassed by Nie Fengxing. Oh, Nie Fengxing is the third son of the patriarch and has always had bad intentions towards my sister-in-law. Since you are not in a hurry to leave, please help me take care of me for a few days." Nie Kong explained.

"That person is Nie Fengxing?" Mu Hongling frowned with black eyebrows, and a hint of disgust appeared in her eyes.

"That's right."

"Hmph, Daluozhu, don't worry about going to the illusion world. This busy master has helped me." Mu Hongling gently patted her chest and agreed happily.

"Then thank you, Master. Let's go, I'll take you to my house first." Nie Kong was surprised. He thought he would take a little extra, and even prepared the words to squeeze Mu Hongling, but she didn't expect that she agreed immediately without hesitation at all.

"Walk!"

After following Nie Kong for a few steps, Mu Hongling came back to her senses.

He clenched his fists and knocked the back of the head. The little girl muttered with a bitter round face: "I'm a loss, I'm a loss, why should I do whatever he asked me to do? I'm a master and he's an apprentice. Now I've made me look like his apprentice. If I had known it, I wouldn't have agreed so quickly..."
