Chapter 280 - Illusion  



Chapter 280: Illusion

Li Yuanqing took a stride forward and stepped on the roots of a big tree. He flew into the air and sat on the crown of the tree. The tree shook its crown crazily, wanting to shake Li Yuanqing off, but it was useless.

Li Yuanqing stabbed the sword into the crown of the tree. The tree felt the pain and ran forward crazily. Li Yuanqing realized that wherever he moved the hilt of the sword, the tree would run in that direction. He drove the dark ancient tree and kept controlling it to move around the forest.

The trees behind him were intertwined, as if they were woven together. A very thick blanket surrounded him.

...

Li Yuanqing tried his best to shuttle through the blanket, constantly splitting open the obstacles in front of him and speeding towards the center of the island. He couldn’t care less about what was under his feet. His eyes were only on the center of the deepest island. Only when he got there would he know what was constantly emitting such a powerful attraction.

The island was not big, but Li Yuanqing walked for a full fifteen minutes before finally driving the exhausted old tree to the center.

After the old tree reached a certain border, it suddenly stopped moving. Li Yuanqing looked to the side. There did not seem to be any obvious boundaries here, but it seemed like there was a line in the dark that isolated the outside world.

Any tree that reached this border would disappear.

The tree that Li Yuanqing was driving was covered in wounds. In the end, he spent the last of his strength to bring Li Yuanqing here. When his body landed in the circle, Li Yuanqing jumped in.

This circle was very different from the outside world. The outside of the island was charred black. The soil emitted a strong rotten smell. It seemed that the soil was very nutritious and contained heavy spiritual energy.

Therefore, the plants that it nourished were all very fat. Under the roots of the trees, there were countless spiritual herbs hidden.

However, Li Yuanqing did not have such a chance to pick those precious things. He could only run all the way here.

He looked back at the remains of the old tree behind him, in the blink of an eye, the old tree had disappeared. It was as if it had disappeared into the air or been swallowed by the ground under his feet.

Li Yuanqing did not have the time to think carefully. He knew that there must be danger everywhere. It was already extremely dangerous for him to be able to reach this point.

Although Li Yuanqing still did not see anything dangerous shuttling around here, his heart was faintly lingering with a strong sense of danger that made him feel so uncomfortable.

In front of him was a very flat beach. This was strange.

The land outside was very fertile black soil, but inside, the inland area suddenly became a pure white beach. Moreover, there was a very small pool in the center of the beach.

The pool was not big and he could see the end of it at a glance. Li Yuanqing did not hesitate and rushed towards the pool. He tried his best to rush down the last section of the pool.

However, at this moment, he, who was originally charging on the road, suddenly felt nothing under his feet. The scene in front of him immediately changed color. The originally pure white beach had unknowingly become a wide sky. At this moment, he was above it. Looking down, the densely packed small houses were as small as ants.

Li Yuanqing realized that he was descending rapidly. He did not know why, he wanted to control his body to not fall, but the downward momentum did not decrease at all.

“Ah!” Li Yuanqing shouted in horror. Other than the sound of the wind, there was only his own terrified voice. The world was empty. There was nothing. What he saw was so white and the sun was so bright. It was as if he had walked into the human world.

At some point, Li Yuanqing had returned to the human world. Furthermore, he was falling rapidly from a height of ten thousand meters. If he fell directly to the ground, he would definitely be turned into meat paste. He seemed to have forgotten about his cultivation, he could only flail around and try his best to stop himself from falling. However, these methods were useless.

Just as Li Yuanqing was about to despair, he suddenly saw an immortal crane flying beside him. This immortal crane had pure white feathers and a light body. It flew beside him so easily.

“Immortal Crane, give me a ride.”

Li Yuanqing looked at the crane for help.

The immortal crane was still flying freely and had no intention of paying attention to him. However, the voice of the immortal crane suddenly sounded in Li Yuanqing’s heart.

“Human, human, this is not a place for you. Go back early.”

“Where am I going?”

“Go back to where you came from.”

The scene in front of Li Yuanqing suddenly darkened. At some point, he had arrived at a sealed house. It was pitch-black everywhere. He turned around instinctively, but it was abnormally bright behind him. There was a very bright and wide passageway. The bright exit was ahead. It was as if as long as he passed through this exit and fell outside, all the problems and troubles he faced would disappear.

Li Yuanqing raised his foot and wanted to walk towards the light, but suddenly, he slowly retracted his foot. He did not take another step back. However, at this moment, another voice suddenly sounded.

“Human, human, return to where you came from. Otherwise, there will be nothing left of you.”

Li Yuanqing raised his head and looked at the sky of the black hole. He turned around again and walked firmly into the darkness.

At this moment, the scene in front of Li Yuanqing changed again. He suddenly arrived at a dark and damp cage. There was a large amount of water in the dungeon that drowned half of his body.

Li Yuanqing looked down at his wet clothes and looked up ahead in confusion. In front of him was a very tall wall. This wall was made of large rocks and the joints were tightly sealed. So much water could seep out.

At the bottom of the dignified wall was a shelf made of steel. In the center of the shelf, a person was tied up and standing in the middle of the steel shelf. Half of her body was in the water as she looked at Li Yuanqing with a pale face.

That was his sister.

“Brother, I can’t take it anymore.”

His little sister’s voice was so clear and painful. It was like a hammer that struck Li Yuanqing’s heart again and again. His entire body trembled.

Why? Why did his sister become like this for no reason? She was clearly the ruler of a country, but why did she fall into someone else’s water prison?

At this moment, the familiar voice came again.

“Go back. Save your family. Go back and end this suffering.”

Li Yuanqing raised a hand and reached out in confusion, as if he wanted to touch his sister’s face affectionately. His sister was there, soaking in the water. She was so close, but he could not touch her.

Li Yuanqing did not know how long his posture lasted. A red vine slowly sprouted from his arm and tender branches grew out. They kept extending forward until they reached his sister.

The red vine gently stretched out to her face and landed gently. However, these gentle vines were like a sharp blade that broke through the fog. The blood-colored vine actually turned into a blood-colored knife at this moment. It cut open his sister’s face, revealing a huge gap, and a bright light emitted from her face.

When Li Yuanqing opened his eyes again, he was back on the pure white beach. However, at this moment, he had already reached the foot of the spring. If he took another step forward, he would reach the pure spring.

The blood vine stretched out from under Li Yuanqing’s feet and took root deeply in the beach. The blood vine on his arm slowly disappeared into his sleeve, as if nothing had happened.

Li Yuanqing looked down at his palm and then at the pool emitting holy light.

It was actually this spring water that created all the illusions just now, causing him to fall into the endless illusion space.

Li Yuanqing did not even have the time to distinguish, let alone mobilize his domain to resist. He was already deep in it and almost could not wake up. If not for his strong willpower and extremely strong target consciousness, he would have long retreated and drowned in the vast forest, turning into the food of those demons.

Just as Li Yuanqing was standing by the pool and daydreaming, the small pool suddenly twisted.

For some reason, the originally holy and calm lake water suddenly became restless, especially the pool of water in the center. It was like a big bloody lump that kept twisting and changing. In the end, the huge bubble floated in midair until it was half the height of a person. It suddenly exploded and a white-gray transparent person jumped out.

The moment this transparent little person jumped out, it ran in front of Li Yuanqing and looked at him angrily. “You human brat, you really don’t know what’s good for you. I’ve already persuaded you so many times, but you’re stubborn and insist on staying here. Then don’t blame me for being rude!”

Although this little fellow said that, there was no movement in his hands. It was quite a bluff. Seeing that the little guy did not make the first move, Li Yuanqing was not in a hurry. He sized up this little elf-like thing.

“You’re the owner of this pool?”

Li Yuanqing’s question amused the little guy. He held his stomach and laughed.

“It’s really ridiculous to say that you, a human, don’t have much knowledge and still dare to come here.”

“Since you’re not the owner of this spring, why did you stop me from entering?”

The little elf looked at Li Yuanqing as if he was a fool and muttered in disdain, “There’s definitely no hope. He came here to die for no reason. He’s really stupid.”

His big eyes darted around as he said to Li Yuanqing pretentiously, “Then let me tell you. Because this spring water is my home, I live here. I won’t allow anyone to approach within a radius of a hundred meters, you barged into my territory last time and still want to ask me why. How is that reasonable?”

Li Yuanqing looked at the spring water at the little fellow’s feet and then at the little elf. He suddenly pulled out his sword.

“Little guy, if this was your house in the past, it won’t be in the future. You should go somewhere else. This isn’t a place you can stay.”

“What are you talking about? How is this not a place for me to stay? Don’t tell me I should give it to you?”

“Little guy, what methods do you have? I can let you two moves, but after two moves, I won’t show any mercy. There’s no grudge between us. I still hope you know your place.”

“Human, I’ve already told you so much, but you still don’t know what’s good for you. Alright, don’t blame me for being rude!”

[Congratulations for signing in to the Mystic Yin Spring successfully. Reward received.]

[Reward One: One earth spirit stone!]

[Reward Two: One Transformation Pill!]

This Transformation Pill was a rare item. It could help powerful demon beasts perfectly transform their bodies into that of humans.

Li Yuanqing suddenly thought of the Blood Vine. The Blood Vine had been moving more and more frequently recently, as if he was about to wake up. If he had such a Transformation Pill, he believed it would be extremely helpful to his physique.

However, according to the nature of the system, it seems that the rewards given were related to the place he was at. He had never heard of the earth spirit stone before. What was the use of it suddenly appearing now?

Li Yuanqing hesitated for a while before deciding to postpone the matter of the Blood Vine.

“I’ll choose the earth spirit stone.”

[Reward issued.]

The system’s voice disappeared. The little elf saw that Li Yuanqing suddenly froze and circled around him in confusion. He sized Li Yuanqing up and leaned his neck against Li Yuanqing, smelling him everywhere.

The blood vine that had suddenly appeared just now seemed to have a strange aura. If not for the blood vine that had appeared and ruined his plan, Li Yuanqing would have fallen for it.

Just as the little elf was feeling puzzled, Li Yuanqing suddenly moved. He stretched out a hand and a black ball inexplicably appeared in his hand.
