Chapter 342
Chapter 342
The whistling sound of the wind seemed to pierce the eardrums. When Ni Yangzhou fell from the sky, he was like a clumsy stone, and landed on the soft mushroom with a "Duang~".
After bouncing a few times, Ni Yangzhou climbed up from the slippery surface. Looking up, he saw that the bubble that had just appeared had closed the gap as if it were repairing itself.
Huge mushrooms occupied the entire mountain range, and there were still many bubbles floating in the sky. In each bubble, light and shadow changed, and the tortuous destinies of countless people revolved around it.
Occasionally, one or two people could be seen falling from the bubbles, bouncing again and again on the red and white mushroom mountain. If the bubble exploded with a "bang", a pool of pure and colorless spiritual energy would slowly diffuse into the air, and huge drops of water would fall down into the small lake in the center of the mushroom mountain. There was not much water at the bottom of the lake, and it looked very clear. In the middle was a thin and long shadow, like a gap.
Soon after, figures dressed in Minghong Sect Taoist robes came hurriedly to the mushroom side to provide support, and helped those who had just recovered from the blisters one by one.
Ni Yangzhou was still wondering when he saw a tall figure approaching, blocking half of the light. The figure looked familiar, but the young man was a little afraid to speak to recognize him:
"You are……"
The Taoist robe was worn meticulously with the collar covered tightly, but a small magic weapon in the shape of a clay basin was hung around the waist, making a clanging sound and looking very out of place.
"Master uncle, your disciple is a hope."
Ni Yangzhou suddenly remembered that he had used this appearance for a long time in the second world. Now it finally matched the person, the skin matched the soul.
Ni Yangzhou had not used his spiritual power for too long, and for a moment he just crawled up like an ordinary person, brushing off the dust on his body with his hands. Cheng Wang didn't seem to be surprised and cast a dust-avoiding spell on the young man.
"Are you here specifically to wait for me? What year and month is it now? What is the current situation in the North?"
Cheng Wang was serious and obedient, answering each question one by one: "Waiting for you, Grand Master Uncle, and my master Yuanjia Zhenren."
"Grandmaster Uncle...
Yuanjia? Yuanjia...is the confinement over? He's gone too?"
Cheng Wang pointed to the bubble next to him. The changing light and shadow in it was very beautiful.
"Grandmaster Grandmaster has not come out yet, Master is in this realm. Since you came out first, I will come to escort you first. It has been one hundred and forty-six years since Minghong Sect discovered the Northern Territory Illusion. Forty-six years ago, the Void Crack began to spread outside the Northern Territory. Master Guanmiao decided to mobilize the entire sect and call on the cultivators from Wuxiang, Jialan and other places to go to the realm together to complete the will of the illusion world, fill the cracks, and save the spiritual energy from overflowing."
Ni Yangzhou gradually recovered his spiritual strength and remembered how to use magic. He no longer needed the other party's support. He stood up on his own and followed Cheng Wang to fly across the Mushroom Mountain.
"Now the northern border has become a place of cultivation that cultivators who have reached the Nascent Soul stage yearn for. It is under the responsibility of the Minghong Sect for its maintenance and administration."
Ni Yangzhou nodded as he listened, thinking that different worlds had very different ways of dealing with such things. If he was really an ordinary person in the previous world, this would be his mission in the book; if he was just a native of this world of cultivation, the illusion bubble, that is, this small world that would split the gap between all things, would be the holy land for those who entered the Tao to practice.
The two stopped outside the Mushroom Mountain, and suddenly a red light like fire came in an instant. It turned out to be Hongying, with cherries hanging on her ears and wearing gorgeous clothes, who flew directly over.
"Yangzhou! You came out too!"
Hongying came up and took Ni Yangzhou's hand. They met again. She was about to give him a hug excitedly, but suddenly she put her hand on the young man's head and her face changed immediately:
"Yangzhou, you are not even at the Nascent Soul stage yet, how can you enter the illusion?!"
The young man laughed dryly and said, "The situation was urgent at the time, so the two Venerables Black and White gave me a ride..."
Hongying frowned: "Those two are also busy shuttling through the illusion, but it's really dangerous for you to do this."
The young man nodded: "I know that too."
Cheng Wang saw that there was no need, so he took his leave and went back to the Mushroom Mountain where he had just come out to wait for his master Yuan Jia. He meditated while waiting and took the time to practice.
Ni Yangzhou looked over and saw that the bubble he had come out of was still motionless...
"Hongying, my master and I have both been in that illusion before. Why did my master, Guanjie Zhenren, not come out when I came out?"
Hongying smoothed her hairband and said, "This is normal. Perhaps Master Guanjiao has not yet completed his world will, and yours has been completed first, so you came out first. Also, the speed of time flowing inside and outside the illusion is different, which is also a common thing."
The flow rates are different, so in his second world, Yuan Jia and Cheng Wang had already ascended to heaven, but Cheng Wang, who is now guarding in front of the bubble illusion, is only at the middle stage of the Golden Core realm.
Ni Yangzhou asked his third brother again in his mind, but for some reason, he only heard a "beep" sound and there was no response from the other side.
Ni Yangzhou called a few more times, but there was still no response from 103, only some noise. He was afraid that there was some bug and he couldn't contact the system. There was nothing else to do, so he had to wait patiently.
Returning to the world of cultivation again, it seemed like a lifetime ago. Ni Yangzhou felt more relaxed than before. Although he still didn't have an outline, the familiar environment made him feel at ease. Now, all he could do was to practice with peace of mind and wait for his master to come back.
Hongying is still as lively and chattering as ever, and Miaomiaobao will come over to play for a while occasionally. Hongying is now in charge of the mushroom buffer mountains everywhere. Many initiates who have just come out of the illusion find it difficult to get rid of the influence of their entry, and most of them will fall directly from the sky and suffer a very miserable fall. Later, the idea of the mushroom mountain was conceived.
"I wanted to use cherry blossom petals, but some people became itchy, sneezed, and had swollen faces and red eyes after coming into contact with the pollen. So I had to use the mushroom method that Yuanjia mentioned." Hongying was quite dissatisfied and felt that some people were like wild boars who could not eat fine bran.
Although her spiritual power level has improved, Hongying's impetuous and outspoken appearance has not made any progress.
After all, it is better to use spiritual plants, which is cheap and convenient.
Ni Yangzhou couldn't do anything for the time being, and he didn't plan to get anxious. He practiced peacefully for a month, but there was still no news, and there was no movement in that bubble world.
It was not until Ni Yangzhou gradually broke through the bottleneck and reached the Nascent Soul stage, before he had time to slowly comprehend the changes brought about by the new realm, that the system suddenly came back.
【Host. 】
Ni Yangzhou immediately stopped his meditation posture, closed his eyes, and communicated with his third brother in his mind.
"Third brother, I'm here. What happened recently?"
[Host... the data I concealed before was discovered by the Lord God, and I was punished with a red label alert. Because I want to make up for my mistakes and bring more taskers, I may not be able to accompany you at all times in the next world. ]
Ni Yangzhou's heart tightened: "I was the one who asked you to open the backdoor. If you want to punish someone, it should be me!"
【No, it is not.】
103 seemed a little sad:
[There are rules, and I broke them. But the host should be careful in the future and not reveal the content of the task, and try not to OOC or break the character settings, otherwise you may directly receive the automatic recognition punishment from the Lord God. 】
Electric shock.
Ni Yangzhou thought, I should be more cautious and not get electrocuted, but I should be able to endure it a few times.
【And host, I want to admit a mistake to you. 】
Ni Yangzhou was puzzled: "What's wrong?"
[After the mission world "Dreamland" ended, I made a deal with an energy entity. After I went back to the main system and sorted out the data, I found out...]
Ni Yangzhou listened carefully.
[I just discovered that the energy body is Yan Congzhi in this book, that is... your master, Guanjiao Zhenren. ]
Ni Yangzhou's heart sank: "What did he use in exchange?"
103's mechanical voice actually sounded like a stammer:
[The Tao body in this world can follow you into your mission world.]
The system and the Heavenly Dao have different operating rules, and the speed of time at the intersection is also different. I used that energy to patch it up and sent it to follow you on several missions. I didn’t realize that the original body was so important before... That’s why it was discovered by the Lord God System...】
The young man stood up suddenly and looked at the bubble from which he came out. At the right moment, the bubble burst with a "bang", and the spiritual energy began to dissipate, but no human figure appeared from it.
"Without a Taoist body, my master..."
[…I can’t return to this world.]
Ni Yangzhou's heart seemed to be suddenly tightened, his mind was unstable, and a mouthful of blood gushed out of his throat.
At this moment, he suddenly saw some spiritual light gathered into mist at the place where the explosion just happened, and it instantly "whooshed" into the illusion next to it with green light. Ni Yangzhou was stunned for a moment. Finally, the place where the green light entered was the bubble that Yuan Jia, whom Cheng Wang had been guarding, had entered.
[Host, follow the green light, hurry up! That is the token he left when I exchanged with Guan Jiao! ]
Ni Yangzhou could not wait any longer and turned into a beam of light, rushing towards the bubble of illusion. The gap of all things cracked on the surface of the bubble. Amid the whistling wind, 103 in his mind said a heavy farewell:
[Host, I'm sorry, take care. 】
Ni Yangzhou entered the country with blood in his mouth and his eyes closed.
"Third brother."
"--Take care of yourself."
