Central Bureau, ntal Landscape site.
As the Magical Girls returned one after another, more and more Magical Girls gathered at the ntal Landscape site.
Most were very curious about how many people would obtain a ntal Landscape.
The first one to co out was Hongmian. As soon as she erged, this Magical Girl revealed a look of utter despair.
Without a doubt, she had failed again.
"It's okay, Sister Hongmian! Look!" Iris pointed to a teary-eyed Magical Girl nearby. "Zimo is already preparing for her eighteenth ntal Landscape trial!"
That Magical Girl burst into loud sobs upon hearing this.
Iris vigorously cheered her on: "Sister Hongmian, your success rate has already reached 99.999%! You'll definitely succeed next ti!"
Hongmian's face darkened:
"Go scrub the toilets for three days!"
"No way...."
Just as Iris clutched her head and wailed, she saw the seven true-transmissions of Azure Cloud Sect walk out one after another.
The mont Four Leaf and Six Leaf stepped out, the Iris Band Choir not far away erupted with a thunderous roar:
"Rejoice!"
A majestic symphony imdiately followed, leaving everyone present stunned and bewildered.
"Wow, sister, we're just like the Sect Master now!"
"Four Leaf, don't talk nonsense. We're still far from that level... Thank you, everyone..."
The ntal Landscape site was essentially a place of mories and illusions, so for the two girls who possessed the Great Forest Wood,
it was simply too easy.
Next, Dandelion and Thousand-Pinweed walked out separately.
The two glanced at each other, snorted coldly, then turned their heads away, refusing to look at each other.
Following them was Silver Lotus. Although she looked sowhat weary, she still managed a smile.
She even had ti to wave and greet others.
After scanning the area and realizing Keke hadn't co out yet, a look of concern appeared on her face.
When almost everyone had erged, the remaining people gathered near the doors of the last two Magical Girls who hadn't co out.
So when Keke finally erged from her domain, she got quite a fright.
Magical Girls were all around her, and Silver Lotus imdiately hugged her. "You're finally out, Keke! Did you succeed?"
After the initial scare, Keke imdiately raised her head, revealing a sowhat smug smile. "Of course I succeeded!"
"You ca out so late, I thought you were going to fail."
"How could that be? It was a piece of cake for ."
Actually, when she saw her parents, she really thought she might fail.
Even though she knew it was fake, she wanted to spend more ti being affectionate with her family. While enjoying the illusion of her parents, she also kept her mind tightly focused, trying to pull herself out.
Just as she was starting to get completely lost,
the mory the captain had stuffed into her inexplicably surfaced.
If big brother appeared....
So she desperately held on, persisted, and perseverance led to victory!
Finally, she waited for big brother.
And the result was him taking care of her in a very intimate and friendly way...
The trial's illusion instantly collapsed.
From every angle, it was far inferior to the illusion the captain had arranged for her back then.
After experiencing the illusion arranged by the captain, the ntal Landscape site felt like just another ordinary thing...
If she hadn't wanted to talk to her parents, she probably would have co out much earlier.
"After I went in, the result was my sister..." Yiyi whispered. "She told to use my ntal Landscape on Shion for her sake..."
"So you successfully broke free from the illusion because of that?" Keke also whispered.
"No, it was because the Shion inside the illusion burned my sister..."
"That's too much. I'll talk to Teacher Shion about it later."
"Really? How do you plan to tell her?"
"I'll just kneel and beg her not to burn your sister so quickly next ti."
"Tch..."
It seed everyone saw similar things.
They were all objects of deep concern.
But actually, it didn't feel that difficult. She didn't understand why so people failed...
Over there, Hongmian hung her head low.
Complaining to her friend: "Once I went in, I couldn't rember anything..."
mory confusion did indeed occur.
"Congratulations, Keke."
Jincha, standing nearby, also asked, "What is your ntal Landscape like? Can you expand it and show us?"
Keke was taken aback and glanced around. "This... isn't it inappropriate to expand it here?"
"It's fine," Jincha explained. "The environnt here is very special."
As she spoke, Jincha expanded her own ntal Landscape first.
It was an open space filled with golden threads everywhere.
However, it was compressed around Jincha's body and didn't spread out.
"You can compress the ntal Landscape near your own body. There won't be any problems."
Hearing this, Keke imdiately breathed a sigh of relief.
Then she expanded her ntal Landscape.
Jincha imdiately took a step back because Keke's ntal Landscape was a sea of fire.
An endless, boundless sea of fire, with magma constantly splashing and erupting.
"My ntal Landscape is this."
Keke scratched her head. "I still don't understand how to use it. Do I just drag people in and burn them with magma?"
She actually felt a bit guilty because her ntal Landscape domain had nothing but fire.
And it was all ordinary fire, without any special abilities.
Yet she had expended so much effort to get it...
"Um, you can slowly research your ntal Landscape domain."
Jincha also found it strange. Usually, when a ntal Landscape domain was first obtained, the user should imdiately know its usage and abilities.
But Keke seed to genuinely know nothing.
This ntal Landscape also seed very ordinary. She couldn't think of any similar ones.
Was it just a simple environntal change?
This kind of ordinary fire probably could only burn ordinary people to death. Even Witches should be able to resist it.
Over there, Silver Lotus also expanded her ntal Landscape.
The ntal Landscape didn't envelop Silver Lotus, but instead spread out continuously along with cherry blossoms.
That's right, Silver Lotus's ntal Landscape was a cherry blossom tree.
But as the cherry blossoms drifted and scattered, the ntal Landscape spread along with them.
Keke stared wide-eyed. "Why is Silver Lotus's ntal Landscape different from ours?"
Jincha sighed and glanced back at the distant Iris. "Didn't she introduce ntal Landscape domains to you?"
"She talked about too many things at the ti, maybe we didn't rember..." Keke scratched her head. "She talked too much about her own affairs."
Silver Lotus also nodded repeatedly. "There was hardly any knowledge about ntal Landscape domains."
Jincha sighed deeply, then expanded a portion of her ntal Landscape again and explained:
"Domains are divided into two thods: diffusion and replacent of the personal ntal Landscape."
"Mine and Keke's ntal Landscapes are the replacent type. Replacent-type ntal Landscapes directly replace the space of the real world with one's own ntal Landscape domain. They can instantly pull people into the ntal Landscape domain, giving almost no ti to react."
Silver Lotus imdiately raised her hand. "Senior Iris's is also the replacent type, right?"
"Correct."
Keke suddenly understood. Back in Beihai, she heard that when Senior Iris expanded her ntal Landscape, even Teacher Shion couldn't avoid it.
This basically ant that replacent-type ntal Landscapes were equivalent to guaranteed hits.
Because even Teacher Shion couldn't dodge it, aning no one could.
Of course, not being able to dodge didn't an not being able to break out.
"But the diffusion type is different."
Jincha pointed at Silver Lotus's ntal Landscape domain. The drifting cherry blossoms continuously carried the ntal Landscape domain as it spread, but the speed wasn't fast.
"Diffusion-type domains require ti to expand. The expansion speed is slow. Generally speaking, if the opponent is too fast, it's very likely they might escape."
"Wait, doesn't that make diffusion-type pretty useless then?"
Thousand-Pinweed, who had been listening nearby, couldn't help but raise her hand. "With such a slow expansion speed, it would be completely useless against powerful enemies, right?"
Without a doubt, she was also the diffusion type.
Yumo nearby snickered gleefully.
Because she was the replacent type.
Her chances of winning had increased by another ten percent.
It was now one hundred and ten percent.
Jincha also smiled. "Don't worry. Although the replacent type is fast, once a replacent-type ntal Landscape is expanded, it completely seals the ntal Landscape. While it's hard to break from the inside, if soone attacks from the outside, it can be easily shattered."
Now Yumo couldn't smile anymore.
Thousand-Pinweed had many spells. Leaving a spell outside to break the ntal Landscape wouldn't be difficult for her...
"And when ntal Landscape domains are expanding against each other, a replacent-type cannot seal a diffusion-type ntal Landscape domain."
Jincha smiled slightly. "Do you know what this ans?"
"It ans that when both Magical Girls have ntal Landscapes, even if the replacent-type ntal Landscape domain captures the opponent first, it will eventually be destroyed from the outside by the diffusion-type ntal Landscape due to its expanding range."
Thousand-Pinweed raised an eyebrow and instantly provided the answer. "It holds an absolute advantage."
"Correct. The only advantage of a replacent-type ntal Landscape is its speed. After expansion, the opponent must be defeated before the diffusion-type ntal Landscape extends to the outside."
Jincha looked at Thousand-Pinweed with so admiration. Her reaction was incredibly fast.
The Magical Girls of Azure Cloud Sect, their talents were each better than the last. Then she looked at the Disaster Control Bureau's...
Hmm.
It couldn't be an education problem, could it?
Jincha thought this to herself, listening to the thoughts of the Magical Girls around her, and continued, "Replacent-type is absolutely sealed, diffusion-type is an open domain. It's hard to say which is better. After all, against enemies without domains, replacent-type has an absolute advantage, while diffusion-type can easily let enemies escape, or even be kited."
After all, expanding a ntal Landscape consus a massive amount of mana. If you expand it and fail to capture the enemy,
it's a huge disadvantage.
Replacent-type ntal Landscape domains don't have this problem, since even Shion couldn't escape.
This also ant that in a battle between two Magical Girls with different ntal Landscape types, the diffusion-type side actually lacked the initiative.
Only when the opponent expanded their ntal Landscape could they follow suit and expand theirs, and they still had to ensure they didn't lose before their own ntal Landscape spread out.
However, in practice, if both sides were of similar skill level, as long as the opponent initiated with a replacent-type ntal Landscape domain first,
the diffusion-type domain side would have an absolute advantage.
After explaining the characteristics of ntal Landscapes, Jincha looked at several of the seven true-transmissions. "Can you also expand your domains to show us?"
"No, we don't want to leak information."
Yumo answered like this.
Jincha over there nodded. "Although that's the case, sotis ntal Landscapes might have problems and need to be reacquired. So after coming out, it's best to expand your ntal Landscape first and confirm there are no issues."
So Yumo, Thousand-Pinweed, Four Leaf, and Six Leaf first looked at Bingtang, who had co out much earlier.
Bingtang, who was still playing with her hair over there, nodded. "Alright."
Only after she nodded did the other true-transmissions expand their domains.
Four Leaf and Six Leaf's domain contained a bamboo forest.
As for the abilities within, naturally, no one would pry.
Dandelion's was also simple, just a valley of wind.
Thousand-Pinweed's was complex: a massive Hogwarts...
When everyone looked at Bingtang, Bingtang just smiled. "Let's skip mine."
Jincha couldn't say much more, only adding, "If you didn't succeed, you can co again next ti it's open."
"Thank you."
Just as everyone was still getting familiar with their own ntal Landscapes,
soone suddenly asked a question.
"What about Azure Cloud Sect's Sect Master?"
Everyone looked toward the last door.
All the Magical Girls had co out. Even Hongmian, who failed, and the other few Magical Girls who didn't succeed had already left.
Now, among all the Magical Girls who participated in the ntal Landscape trial, only one remained who hadn't erged.
"She couldn't have failed, right..."
Soone said it, no one knew who.
The seven true-transmissions imdiately glared fiercely in that direction. Even Thousand-Pinweed, who was usually quite gentle toward the Disaster Control Bureau's Magical Girls, revealed a sowhat icy gaze.
Jincha also imdiately suppressed the chatter, quieting the murmuring Magical Girls.
"Should we go rest first?"
To be honest, Shion had been inside for far too long.
So long that failure wouldn't be surprising.
Most importantly, her Personal Reality was strange.
So strange that just her mories alone were almost constructing a real world.
Jincha even sensed spatial fluctuations. Had she already left the ntal Landscape site?
On one hand, she found it strange; on the other, she felt uneasy.
If she really disappeared, never mind the Azure Cloud Sect group causing an uproar—who could stop them...
Right now, Iris was already anxiously spinning in place: "How could this be, impossible, how could this be, impossible, how could this be, has my destined rival flopped? Impossible..."
In the background, the music played by the Iris Band Choir began to accelerate along with the uneasy atmosphere.
1.1x speed, 1.2x speed, 1.3x...
Just as she was thinking of stabilizing everyone first, then slowly figuring out a way to find the Incubators of the Magic Kingdom to solve the problem...
"Everyone..."
However, in the very next second, the music heard in her ears suddenly beca harsh and muffled, as if stretched out infinitely, until it abruptly vanished.
All visuals froze.
Jincha was the first to sense the spatial fluctuations and imdiately turned her head.
But with just that turn, the surrounding environnt instantly changed!
"ntal Landscape,"
A surging ocean, a massive mountain peak.
Atop the cloud-shrouded mountain summit, the Sun was positioned directly overhead, golden rays piercing through the clouds, with myriad rays of morning light.
Most importantly, that set of rules completely different from this world!
It brought an extraordinary sense of abnormality.
"Expansion."
As the final words fell, what should have been a sealed, replacent-type ntal Landscape expanded once more!
Drawing in even the Magical Girls who were watching from afar!
Jincha instinctively wanted to expand her own domain.
Although when the opponent's domain expanded to the outside, it would directly shatter her own domain.
But if she condensed her domain around herself, forming a simple protective barrier, she could ensure her ntal Landscape domain wouldn't shatter for a short ti.
However, this wasn't a long-term solution, because the shattering of the ntal Landscape domain was also just a matter of ti.
But the mont she tried to expand it, Jincha discovered the problem.
Her ntal Landscape had disappeared.
A chill ran down her spine. Jincha imdiately observed the other Magical Girls nearby.
Sure enough, everyone's ntal Landscape domains had vanished at the sa mont!
"Wait, why can't I use my magic?"
"What's happening? What's going on..."
Jincha discovered the root of the problem. It wasn't an issue with magic or domains,
but rather, the entire Personal Reality had malfunctioned!
Moreover, this wasn't a simple ntal Landscape domain either!
She carefully observed her surroundings, listening intently to everything she could hear, over and over, until she finally found the issue.
This place was different from other people's ntal Landscape domains.
This was a real world!
And it was another world with different rules, similar to the old world, yet also different from it...
Because the rules of this world could actually suppress a Magical Girl's Personal Reality!
This was the reason their ntal Landscapes couldn't expand, and they couldn't even use magic!
They had already been suppressed by the rules of another world...
However, the seven true-transmissions over there simply knelt on one knee in unison toward that great mountain. Bingtang produced a banner that she had prepared who-knows-when, unfurled it, and let it fly into the vast sky.
Then, a phrase inexplicably echoed in the hearts of all Azure Cloud Sect disciples.
Thus, as if connected by a single mind,
all the disciples followed the true-transmissions, bowing toward the mountain peak and proclaiming:
"Congratulations to the Sect Master on the completion of the Purple Mansion!
"Henceforth, the Great Dao is in your grasp, the path of immortality lies smooth before you!"
"This world shall prosper!"
Only then did Jincha realize with shock that the Sun located atop the great mountain
pierced through the clouds and took a step downward.
The light converged.
And she saw that purple Magical Girl, who had been trapped in the ntal Landscape site for so long without erging that people even thought she had failed the trial, walking down step by step from the mountain peak.
With each step she took, the world expanded once more.
Until all Magical Girls lost their Personal Realities!
Until that petite figure walked right before her!
Jincha couldn't help but stare blankly. "How did you obtain this ntal Landscape?"
All ntal Landscape domains should be ford by extracting and materializing a portion of ability from one's own inner world. At the very least, they should be related to one's own abilities. This ntal Landscape was completely different...
"Isn't it just directly using one's Personal Reality to erode a world, then carving out a portion of that world, molding it into a ntal Landscape?"
Jincha instantly couldn't hold back:
"That's not a ntal Landscape domain at all!"
Shion slightly raised her head and said proudly, "Compressing a world within one's Personal Reality, crafting it into a ntal Landscape—how is that not one?"
Jincha looked at this ntal Landscape that possessed both the rapid capture of the replacent type and the infinite expansion ability of the diffusion-type domain,
and was montarily speechless.
"Indeed, it's not called a ntal Landscape domain now."
Shion stretched out her hand and clenched it tightly!
"Now it should be called 【Purple Mansion】—"
The entire world collapsed inward. All the Disaster Control Bureau Magical Girls instantly exited their transformation state!
"—【The Great Unity Yin-Yang Creation Cultivation Mansion】!"
