Hua Nongyue’s gaze flowed like water, looking at Chen Mu with affection, but as she spoke, suddenly she froze entirely, abruptly realizing that her sister Hua Nongying was missing, or rather, had been ignored by her for some time.
No,
This isn’t right!
As Hua Nongyue suddenly came to her senses, it was as if a drowning person had burst through the water’s surface; she staggered as she gasped for air, and everything in her sight instantly vanished, replaced again by the colorful, fantastical mist, with her sister Hua Nongying beside her, also staggering and gasping heavily.
The prehension of Mysteries Fusion and the mastery of Divine Monarch Power vanished all at once, clearly indicating that everything was just an illusion!
The two sisters exchanged glances and instantly saw the alarm in each other’s eyes.
They traveled hand in hand to watch out for one another; once caught in the illusion, it would be difficult to distinguish reality, and they needed to remind each other. Yet unexpectedly, the dream realm here was so formidable that it could even simulate Divine Monarch Power!
Earlier, both had nearly entered identical environments, feeling as if they gripped the vast and mighty power of a Divine Monarch, reaching the Seven Layer Heavenly Divine Monarch level. Fortunately, they managed to forcibly break free and awaken from the illusion in the end.
"What terrifying illusions."
Hua Nongying said with lingering fear.
Hua Nongyue was equally solemn, taking a deep breath, and said, "No wonder it’s the deepest dream of the Floating Dream Realm. It’s said that even Divine Monarchs might get lost here, though they won’t be devoured by the dream, being part of it. They can break through with force and escape, but we are different; if we linger in the dream, we’ll be consumed by it."
Upon hearing this, Hua Nongying’s eyes flickered, saying, "But danger also means opportunity. If we can overe the trials of the dream, our mental willpower will greatly enhance, and we might even realize the true Divine Monarch Great Dao here."
"Mm."
Hua Nongyue nodded slightly.
Although the Floating Dream Realm is extremely perilous to them, it is indeed the most suited place for their training.
The two quickly calmed their minds and continued forward hand in hand.
After a few steps,
suddenly,
the colorful mist ahead split apart again.
This time, their eyes were focused as they stared at the splitting mist.
"Oh? You are here too?"
Instead of revealing a mystical scene as the mist parted, a figure garbed in red appeared, someone both Hua Nongyue and Hua Nongying found very familiar. It was Hong Lin, the Vice Hall Master of Fan Gu Palace.
In the Da Xuan World, every god had a name in the Fan Gu Palace, and people like Hua Nongyue and Hua Nongying, who were quite close to Chen Mu, held unusual status there. They were well-acquainted with Hong Lin.
"Vice Hall Master Hong Lin?"
Hua Nongyue said with slight surprise, "Vice Hall Master Hong Lin is also here for training?"
Hong Lin nodded slightly, saying, "Indeed, I am entangled in shackles, unable to break through for a long time, so I came here seeking an opportunity for a breakthrough. However, the dreams here are truly formidable; I have fallen into them several times, unable to discern reality from illusion."
After listening, Hua Nongyue’s gaze remained cautious, not fully trusting the Hong Lin before her. After all, this was the Floating Dream Realm where encountering an illusion of Hong Lin was entirely normal.
Hong Lin was unfazed by Hua Nongyue’s caution, saying, "It’s hard to distinguish reality here. I know myself to be real, but I may not be in your eyes, just as you may not be in mine. However, exchanging some information should be harmless."
Hua Nongyue nodded slightly, then shared some information with Hong Lin.
Hong Lin listened thoughtfully and said, "In the deepest parts of the Floating Dream Realm, it’s hard to pinpoint specific locations. Every step taken may lead into an illusion, perhaps staying put or perhaps having moved far. In addition, the illusions constantly change, so it’s unrealistic to verify the location of every illusion. We can only strive to distinguish the real from the illusory as we move."
"Quite right."
Hua Nongyue nodded again.
She was already somewhat certain of Hong Lin’s true identity, even thinking of using her avatar in Fan Gu Palace to confirm. However, given she was in the Floating Dream Realm, whether her avatar in Fan Gu Palace was real or imagined was difficult to ascertain. This method couldn’t clearly determine what’s real or illusory.
Previous encounters had proven as much; her avatar in the Da Xuan World likely hadn’t moved at all.
Just as she intended to converse with Hong Lin further,
suddenly,
Hong Lin’s expression changed, saying gravely, "Be careful! Illusion Beast!"
Almost at the moment Hong Lin’s words fell, a surge of overwhelming Aura rushed in, and from the split mist appeared a gigantic serpent, covered in colorful scales, that abruptly raised its head, attempting to devour Hong Lin, along with Hua Nongyue and the others, releasing an influence reaching the Seventh Layer Heaven!
Hua Nongyue and Hua Nongying turned pale at this sight, with no hesitation they retreated backward.
Illusion Beast.
Unique to the Floating Dream Realm, these creatures are inherently nonexistent. If one can recognize it as illusory, then it poses no threat.
The problem is, because everything in the Floating Dream Realm feels so real, even knowing it’s an illusion, as long as there’s the slightest hesitation or doubt within, the damage caused by the Illusion Beast bees actually tangible!
