"Captain, this doesn't seem appropriate..." Ziyu hesitated for a moment and turned to look at the remaining five people, who had now been separated by the isolation formation.
"In this world, everything must be fought for on your own; no one is obligated to give you anything for free," Ruan Ling said coldly. He was well aware of the rules of this world, so he had become somewhat cold-hearted regarding such matters.
"Alright... let's go..." Ziyu hesitated again, suddenly feeling that something was off, a strange sensation creeping in.
The four of them arrived beside Spirit Stone Hill and took up four evenly spaced positions.
"Ziyu, I want to be with you..." Lan Bing'er bounced over to Ziyu's side, grinning widely.
"You have your own position," Ziyu replied, feeling speechless as Lan Bing'er kept sticking to him.
"Hehe..." Lan Bing'er slowly walked behind Ziyu.
"I know what's wrong now..." Ziyu's lips curled slightly as he turned to face Lan Bing'er.
"What's wrong?" Lan Bing'er asked with a puzzled expression, looking at Ziyu, though a hint of daze flickered in her eyes.
"If my feelings are correct, we are still in an illusion, right..." Ziyu chuckled. "The scene of the illusion breaking is fake; it's just meant to confuse me, and you all are illusions too..."
Ziyu had always felt something strange, and that feeling did not disappear even after the illusion shattered... So, he ultimately confirmed that he was still within an illusion!
Having spent so much time with Lan Bing'er, any changes in her were easily noticeable to Ziyu. In fact, the illusion absorbed the dispersing waves of souls to read shallow information from them. The lower-level Illusion Array had some flaws that could be observed with careful attention.
This principle was similar to receiving signals; the dispersing waves of souls were also a form of electromagnetic wave... A powerful high-level Illusion Array could extend along these dispersing waves to read deeper information; such Illusion Arrays were incredibly formidable.
"We are illusions, how could it be possible..." Lan Bing'er chuckled lightly, but her face was somewhat pale.
"Alright, I can see it. I've been with Bing'er every day; how could I not notice something was off..." Ziyu smiled as he looked at Lan Bing'er.
There was a significant flaw here. Since Lan Bing'er was with Ziyu every day, Ziyu would definitely know her well, making it easy for her to be exposed. However, if this illusion of Lan Bing'er were to be separated from Ziyu and placed at a distance, that would also be incorrect. So... no matter what, Lan Bing'er here was a breakthrough point.
"As long as you show even the slightest abnormality, I can tell..." Ziyu smiled slightly.
How clever was Ziyu? Now, Ziyu's abilities were no longer just about mental agility... but he had become a strong individual in terms of perception and capability. Therefore, his mind was even more agile than before, making it easy for him to notice such details.
"Ziyu, are you being foolish..." Lan Bing'er sighed but remained the same as before. "I just want to be with you. If you want to drive me away, just tell me directly... why say I'm an illusion..."
"Do you know? Actually, I really rely on you... Don't misunderstand; I just see you as an older brother." Lan Bing'er chuckled and blinked her eyes.
"You..." Ziyu forced a smile, suddenly feeling quite foolish...
This was an illusion, and the formation had no thoughts of its own. Therefore, the Lan Bing'er before him did not know she was an illusion; she was created based on Ziyu's impression in his mind. Thus, she actually lived as the Lan Bing'er in Ziyu's heart.
"Alright, alright, I was wrong, okay?" Ziyu smiled slightly and patted Lan Bing'er's head.
"It seems breaking this formation is really difficult..." Ziyu understood that they were within the Illusion Array. However, the people within the Illusion Array were all based on his impressions. For example, Lan Bing'er was a cute girl who meant no harm to Ziyu.
"Perhaps this is why many people cannot break the Illusion Array..." Ziyu chuckled. In this world, the development of events was actually influenced by the subconscious thoughts of those trapped... Simply put, the Illusion Array displayed what they wished for...
Some people yearned for a beautiful life in their hearts; even some strong individuals missed their deceased loved ones. After entering the illusion and having what they desired appear, they would become entranced by the beauty of the illusion and unable to extricate themselves.
"Actually, living anywhere is a lifetime, isn't it..." Ziyu suddenly thought.
For those trapped, living in any world is a lifetime, and life in an illusion might be a bit more beautiful.
"It seems I can't take action against anyone, even if they are all fake..." Ziyu thought with a wry smile.
Ziyu couldn't bring himself to act.
"I need to find the corresponding Formation Base in this illusionary world." Ziyu looked around at the nearby scenery.
Previously, during the Shattered Illusion, the Illusion Array revealed its Formation Base, but Ziyu felt that this Formation Base was definitely not the real one, and he was somewhat unclear about where he actually was in reality.
"The illusion only obscures reality. If I want to move, I might still be in place or going in circles... But they shouldn't be able to distort an attack from a thoughtless illusion," Ziyu thought to himself.
Although Cang Jian had told Ziyu that there was no technology in this world, Ziyu found that many things could still be explained by scientific principles.
Ziyu formed hand seals, channeling spiritual energy, and his long robe billowed without wind...
"Go!" Standing at the center of the Illusionary Grand Hall, Ziyu pushed his palms forward, and two energy pillars as thick as arms shot out from his palms!
"Boom..." The nearby scenery began to collapse; the fragile parts crumbled away, and smoke filled the air.
"I don't believe it; after such a blast, you still won't break!!" Ziyu's lips curled up slightly, carrying a hint of mockery.
This Illusion Array appeared to be just a simple beginner-level Illusion Array, and with Ziyu's abilities, breaking through it was entirely possible.
"Bang bang bang..." A hurried sound echoed nearby, and the space began to tremble as the Illusory Array Space finally collapsed completely!
"Is this really possible?" Ziyu waited for the Illusory Array Space to shatter, finally revealing its true form.
"It turns out the fog hasn't dissipated yet..." Ziyu saw the real scene and could feel that this world was much more authentic; at least the sensations were different. It was just that within the Illusory Array Space, he had been deceived by illusions, and that feeling had been blocked.
The fog nearby still lingered, and turning back, he could not see the original five people.
"I understand now..." Ziyu suddenly formed a reasonable hypothesis about this series of events.
The Illusion Array spread throughout the Wudao Hall, while the Confinement Formation and Killing Formation did not.
Everyone entered the Confinement Formation, where the Illusion Array lay dormant, while the Killing Formation worked in conjunction with the Confinement Formation to confuse Ziyu.
Ziyu had once thought that the rain was part of the Illusion Array, that the Killing Formation was an attack from the rain, and that the Confinement Formation was either the fog or spatial distortion.
In reality, the rain was not part of the Illusion Array; it was merely a weak attack from the Killing Formation with no lethal power. The Illusion Array had not activated at this stage.
Only after the Confinement Formation and Killing Formation withdrew did the Illusion Array truly appear.
Once the Illusion Array was activated, the previous scene emerged again. Unfortunately, since the Illusion Array lacked intelligence, it still revealed flaws.
The Illusion Array enveloped the entire Wudao Hall, including the five people who had not followed. They later also entered into the Illusion Array.
Due to insufficient energy, the mist in the formation had thinned out a bit, allowing visibility of nearby scenery. The Confinement Formation and Killing Formation had also ceased... The Formation Base of the Illusion Array had been shattered by Ziyu.
"It should be safe now." Ziyu looked around and saw Li Xuan, Ruan Ling, and Lan Bing'er standing there in a daze.
"This..." Lan Bing'er was a bit flustered, initially not understanding what had happened, but she quickly came to her senses.
"So it was all fake." Lan Bing'er forced a bitter smile, feeling somewhat helpless, a hint of disappointment flickering in her eyes, even becoming slightly moist.
"Even if it's fake, I would still want to stay in that world," Lan Bing'er thought to herself but did not voice it.
"Bing'er, are you okay?" Ziyu walked over to Lan Bing'er and asked.
"Ah... I'm fine..." Lan Bing'er instinctively turned her head away, no longer looking at Ziyu.
Earlier in the illusion, Ye Ling had also come here. In the Killing Formation, both Lan Bing'er and Ye Ling encountered danger at the same time, while Ziyu ran towards Lan Bing'er...
In the Illusion Array, Lan Bing'er's status in Ziyu's heart surpassed that of Ye Ling, which was exactly what Lan Bing'er hoped for.
"That's good to hear." Ziyu chuckled, "We should head towards our goal."
Ziyu was certainly aware of Lan Bing'er's unusual behavior, but he understood that this world was real. Therefore, he chose not to ask further. What happened in Lan Bing'er's illusion was her own concern, and he had no right to know.
"Alright, let's go to Spirit Stone Hill." Lan Bing'er forced a smile.
"Breaker of formations, Ziyu," Xiang Yu's powerful voice rang out again. "Spirit Stone Mountain belongs to Ziyu."
Ziyu felt a stir in his heart; the formation he broke meant that Spirit Stone Hill belonged to him? He could distribute it freely?
"All the spirit stones must be absorbed by Ziyu, which can significantly enhance strength!" The voice of Xiang Yu echoed.
Xiang Yu's voice was like a program, triggered under certain circumstances, while Xiang Yu himself had already passed away.
"It must be absorbed by me..." Ziyu twitched his mouth; why was Xiang Yu involved in this matter?
Ziyu glanced at his teammates in various directions, feeling a bit embarrassed for a moment.
"They've already said it; how can we act on our own... You're getting the short end of the stick, kid." Ruan Ling shrugged.
"This..." Ziyu still hesitated.
"Unrelated personnel, exit. The inheritor will begin seclusion." Xiang Yu's voice rang out.
"Inheritor?" Ziyu was taken aback; it turned out that breaking the formation automatically made one the inheritor.
"Do you know that this formation was set up by my friend, and this Wudao Hall was specifically created for my inheritor?" Xiang Yu's voice continued, "Do you know the purpose of these formations?"
