Chapter 647: Chapter 298: Void Projection, Boundless Dojo
At the far north of Xuandan Sect, within Evil Mountain, the Illusion World descended.
Zhuge Wu You’s words, twelve characters, were extremely succinct. The first two sentences described the location and the last sentence depicted the alarming event that even he found terrifying.
Han Yi naturally thought about this location and what it meant for his original plan. He had intended to follow along Evil Mountain, tracing the abnormalities that caused reactions in both the Suizhu Command Tablet and the Green Reed Sword. Unexpectedly, before he even set off, another incident occurred within Evil Mountain.
To call it a coincidence would be stretching it too far. Several occurrences all happening in Evil Mountain clearly could not be mere chance, and he didn’t believe it.
It seemed that this fell in line with the “Illusion World descending” that Zhuge Wu You had mentioned.
As for the term “Illusion World” mentioned by Zhuge Wu You, Han Yi also understood its meaning. In the Cultivation World, this term didn’t specifically refer to a single world; instead, it represented any other world that wasn’t the Yu Heng World.
A more fitting description would be this: another realm or a different world. For the Yu Heng World, this included the other six worlds of the Beidou Region, the Nine Layer Void Prison, the Cave Heavens attached to the Yu Heng World, such as the Facing Reality Heavenly Realm and the Treasured Jade Heaven that Han Yi had visited, or even the Fragmented Immortal World and the Mirage Immortal World he had once entered, and the Age Candle Immortal Mansion which all fell within this category.
At this thought, Han Yi spoke calmly, “There is no need to panic, senior brother. Tell me everything in detail.”
Zhuge Wu You, inspired by Han Yi’s composure, immediately forced himself to calm down, adjusted his emotions, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice:
“Junior brother, something terrible has happened.”
“Two months ago, within Evil Mountain Range, in the land about nine hundred miles northwest of Feilei Mountain, a projection of the Illusion World appeared.”
“That Illusion World did not descend upon Yu Heng World, but only manifested as a projection in Evil Mountain, shrouded in mystery.”
“In the beginning, both the northern and southern sides of the Evil Mountain Range, as well as the official sides of Daqian and Daqin and various sects, sent people to investigate. However, all cultivators who set foot in the projection vanished without a trace.”
“I sent Shen Ping, who had just had his duties adjusted with Fu Lan, into the Illusion World to investigate, but like the other cultivators, he disappeared without any news. Afterward, I instructed Lian Tingxi to go and only observe from a distance, without taking any rash actions.”
“Subsequently, everyone found that the Illusion World projection was consuming the Evil Mountain Range at an alarming rate, spreading in all directions, and it has already covered Feilei Mountain and even reached the edge of the Evil Mountain Range.”
“The projection’s boundary is moving southward, and according to our estimates, it will only take two months before our sect is engulfed by it.”
“Given the circumstances, I had no choice but to interrupt your seclusion, as our sect is in danger, and we must discuss backup plans as soon as possible.”
Zhuge Wu You finished speaking in one breath, and Han Yi listened without interruption. Once Zhuge Wu You had finished, Han Yi furrowed his brow and looked to the north. The distance was too great, so his divine sense couldn’t reach it.
Han Yi looked at Zhuge Wu You, “Has Daqian sent any cultivators here?”
Zhuge Wu You nodded with a heavy expression, “Yes, Daqian’s newly appointed National Guardian Duke Pang Sheng has led Champion Marquis Liu Shentong and Duke Wuan, along with several True Monarchs from the National Guardian Mansion and the houses of the two Marquises, and dozens of Golden Core cultivators entered the Illusion World projection.”
“However,” Zhuge Wu You shook his head, “they too disappeared without a trace, without even creating the slightest ripple.”
“Apart from that, not only the official side of Daqin but also other major sects have sent their people in as well.”
“For them, this may be a chance to obtain Immortal Affinity.”
“However, our Xuandan Sect, being the closest to the projection of the Illusion World, is the first in line to be affected, and seeing the situation, it’s already difficult to prevent. Relocating our sect is now an imminent matter.”
Zhuge Wu You sighed heavily, his expression filled with worry.
Han Yi paced a few steps within the Vermilion Bird Tower, exchanged a few glances with Zhuge Wu You, and sensed the lingering fear in the other’s eyes. In an instant, he also felt the immense pressure bearing down on him. At this time, with Yuan Shun yet to return, he was the strongest person in the sect. Whether to retreat or stay was up to his decision.
A moment later, he didn’t dare to make a decision lightly and instead carefully said, “Senior brother, don’t worry. I’ll go and see what the state of the Illusion World projection is first. If it can’t be dealt with, we… we will have to relocate our sect.”
“As for where to migrate, we must first gather all the Supreme Elders to discuss it.”
Zhuge Wu You could only nod and instruct Han Yi to hurry back after his investigation while he summoned several Golden Core cultivators within the sect to prepare a retreat.
Time was pressing, and Han Yi didn’t have time to completely refine the Soul Loss Bell. He flew out of the Vermilion Bird Tower and boarded the Immortal Boat, speeding towards Evil Mountain. After just a short while, he had to stop and, with a shaken expression, observed the scene before him.
At this moment, he was located outside the edge of Evil Mountain. Naturally, his line of sight was directed towards the mountain range. Now, the ancient and dense Evil Mountain was enveloped by an illusory light curtain.
Inside the light curtain, there seemed to be a brand new world with lofty immortal peaks, but everything was dead silent, hiding dangers that made one’s heart palpitate.
This light curtain was like a celestial chasm, extending extremely high into the sky, connecting to the winds of the Nine Heavens, and stretching out horizontally. As his divine sense explored the edge of the light curtain, he found that it did not expand linearly but was instead curved, like a crescent moon merging with the ground.
No.
It was more than just a crescent moon.
