878: Chapter 867: Everything is an Illusion!
Xu Xiaoqing’s words were ignored by Ning Fan.
He currently had no intention of arguing with Xu Xiaoqing, or rather, he had no desire to speak to anyone at all.
Returning here, he looked at the broken ceiling and furrowed his brows.
He recalled sothing, but he just couldn’t grasp what it was.
“You’re acting a bit strange today…”
Xu Ruolan looked at Ning Fan with confusion.
Earlier, during her conversation with Xu Xiaoqing, she had learned from her younger sister about Ning Fan’s actions that morning.
What shocked her the most was that Ning Fan had actually smashed their ceiling.
When she checked the room, the chaotic ss left her utterly speechless.
However, Ning Fan’s thoughts were not on Xu Ruolan at this mont.
He was still caught in the chaos of his mind.
“If anyone’s acting strange, it should be both of you…”
He muttered softly.
Up until now, he still hadn’t figured out whether he had woken up from his dream or was still trapped within it.
But Xu Ruolan didn’t give him much ti to think and pressed on, “Are you feeling unwell?”
“I’m not sick.
Just let have a mont of peace…”
He truly felt like he was on the verge of losing his sanity.
He desperately wished Xu Ruolan would give him so ti to calm down.
At that mont, Ning Fan turned his head.
Xu Ruolan and Xu Xiaoqing’s faces suddenly began to change.
Their faces seed veiled under a layer of indistinct distortion that defied description.
If he had to put it into words, he’d liken it to a mosaic.
Instinctively swallowing nervously, he looked at Xu Ruolan with doubt.
Was there sothing wrong with his eyes again?
He imdiately shook his head—no, it wasn’t a problem with him…
“Ning Fan, have you seen the jade you gave ?”
“Jade?
What jade?”
With a puzzled expression, Ning Fan suddenly widened his eyes.
Wait, jade?
In his field of vision, Xu Ruolan was still speaking, but Ning Fan could no longer hear what she was saying.
His attention was wholly drawn to the jade she had ntioned.
At last, he caught onto sothing—he finally grasped a key piece of information.
“The jade!”
What jade was it?
Ning Fan suddenly realized he had forgotten sothing—sothing crucial.
Why had he broken the ceiling?
He had almost forgotten the reason—it was because he had broken through to the True Origin Realm and, unable to control his newfound strength, accidentally punched through the floor.
But that wasn’t the most important reason.
The key to his breakthrough to the True Origin Realm—think carefully, think carefully!
Quickly, try to rember—what exactly was it?!
The jade…
What jade could it be…
The Nine Souls Jade?!
Ning Fan’s eyes lit up with renewed clarity and excitent as he looked at Xu Ruolan.
But in the very next second, everything before his eyes shattered.
Whether it was Xu Ruolan, Xu Xiaoqing, or the living room—everything disappeared.
They fragnted into countless pieces and disintegrated.
Everything was gone.
“Damn it!
So I haven’t woken up after all?!”
Cold sweat ran down Ning Fan’s forehead as he finally realized the truth.
He was still trapped within the spiritual world.
Everything that had happened earlier was nothing more than an illusion—a dream, a fabrication.
The dream had been so vivid that Ning Fan could no longer distinguish it from reality!
“Nine Souls Jade, so it really is you!”
Ning Fan looked at the Nine Souls Jade floating before him and let out a bitter smile.
Erging from despair, Ning Fan took deep breaths.
Though he was still in the spiritual world, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief, as if he had narrowly escaped doom.
Was this the Nine Souls Jade deliberately giving him a chance, or was it his own subconscious finally kicking into action?
Ning Fan didn’t know the reason, nor did he want to speculate further.
All he knew was that he had almost been trapped in this dream forever.
The mories forcibly implanted in his mind by the Nine Souls Jade had nearly made him believe everything was real.
He had almost failed to break free from the illusion.
It was utterly terrifying.
Ning Fan thought he might have been trapped there for the rest of his life.
“So, how do I escape now?”
Perplexed once again, Ning Fan wore a confused expression.
Though he now understood that he was still confined within the spiritual realm by the Nine Souls Jade, he had no idea how to break free.
Standing in the darkness, Ning Fan was at a complete loss.
He had no clue how to escape this spiritual prison.
“Why go back?
Isn’t this place good enough?”
Xu Ruolan’s voice echoed from within the darkness.
Ning Fan’s eyes widened, and he glaringly stared into the void with anger.
That voice—it was just another façade fabricated by the Nine Souls Jade.
Everything that had appeared earlier had been an illusion—a sham!
“Hmph, Nine Souls Jade, I don’t know if you have a consciousness of your own, but do you really think I’m the kind of person who would indulge in illusions?”
The Nine Souls Jade offered no response to Ning Fan, and Xu Ruolan’s voice didn’t sound again.
Who knows how much ti passed before another voice erged from behind Ning Fan.
“Ning Fan, I’m still here.
Why do you want to leave?”
That voice…
Hearing this familiar voice, an uncontrollable rage surged up like a wildfire in Ning Fan’s heart.
It was Qin Lan’er’s voice!
The voice belonged to the woman from his mories, the one he had once deeply loved.
Yet now, the Nine Souls Jade dared to create a forgery of her voice, inciting Ning Fan’s fury!
“Why?
Why are you doing this?!”
“Isn’t this place good enough?
I’m still here, and here, you can have everything.
You won’t feel any pain!”
Qin Lan’er’s voice spoke from behind him, and a pair of arms wrapped around Ning Fan from behind.
Feeling the soft, delicate sensation press against his back, Ning Fan felt no joy—only an icy chill emanating from the body behind him.
“Why leave?
Isn’t this place good enough?”
The surroundings shifted once more.
Overhead, a beam of white light illuminated, brightening the entire space.
Ning Fan’s expression turned icy.
His fury reached its peak.
Though he didn’t know why the Nine Souls Jade had dragged him into this spiritual illusion, Qin Lan’er’s appearance had erased all desire to humor the artifact further.
“Enough!
Let out of here now!”
With a roar, Qin Lan’er vanished, and the Nine Souls Jade reappeared, floating in front of him.
Staring at the Nine Souls Jade in front of him, a strange gleam flickered in Ning Fan’s eyes.
As if he had reached so realization, he reached out tentatively, grasping it in his hand.
Determination flashed across his gaze as Ning Fan clenched his fist tightly, crushing the Nine Souls Jade with all his strength!
Crack—
With a crisp sound, the world around Ning Fan began to collapse.
