When Wang Ling suggested using the Chaos Divine Feather as a material to upgrade his spirit sword, Zhang Zipi couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.
He's just a kid after all … he's such a prodigal! This feather was many times more valuable than the Supreme Shrouding Corpse Painting … and it was actually used to strengthen a spirit sword?
What if the strengthening failed?
Although Zhang Zipei was in the Corpse Wrapping Painting, he was also an erudite and knowledgeable person. The imaginary world in the painting allowed Zhang Zipei to surf the Internet in the Corpse Wrapping Painting.
This reminded him of the computer game he had played many years ago called Tainted Milk Powder.
He was about to vomit from upgrading his equipment!
If he failed, he would have to start all over again …
Because in the world of the Shrouded Corpse Picture, Zhang Zipei couldn't directly top up his money. Therefore, his wealth in these modern online games was earned through playing games day after day.
Cultivators could stay awake for long periods of time.
In addition, Zhang Ziqin was essentially a dead man … Therefore, a dead man did not need to rest, nor did he need to worry about his liver being worn out after staying up late for a long time.
Because Zhang Zisteal did not have a liver that could be worn out.
After accepting the divine feather, Wang Ling's heart was as calm as an ancient well. He knew that Zhang Zidan was definitely cursing him for being a wastrel in his heart.
But to be honest, Wang Ling had always had very high standards.
This Chaos Divine Feather might be an extraordinary object in Zhang Ziba's eyes, but in Wang Ling's eyes, it was just a strengthening material that could be discarded.
The truth was that Wang Ling was very serious.
The value of this Chaotic Divine Feather wasn't even as high as the Corpse Wrapping Painting.
Although the Chaos in the Corpse Wrapping Painting was not as concentrated as the Chaos Divine Feather, it was still a painting that had been passed down for thousands of years. In addition, there was a big shot like Zhang Zijin in the painting.
With this map, Wang Ling could learn about cultivation secrets in the universe at any time that he didn't understand.
These ancient experts whom Dao Ancestor Wang had suppressed in the corpse picture back then were now Wang Ling's greatest repository of knowledge, and could be called a portable encyclopedia.
Of course, the most important thing was …
This corpse picture was under Wang Ling's control, so he wouldn't do anything unnecessary on his own …
Just like the iPad Book of Sage Immortal that he had already sent away.
After passing the second test, the swamp area, he continued on his way.
The small world in the third room was completely different from the previous two rooms.
It wasn't as eerie and terrifying as the withered forest, nor did it have the mysterious aura of the swamp.
This was a world filled with white mist. All kinds of multicolored lights were surging within the Primal Chaos.
The misty world was full of danger.
As Wang Ling drew closer, he could clearly sense that the multicolored light here was different. It was very heavy on his shoulders, a weight that ordinary cultivators would find hard to bear.
But Wang Ling walked through the fog as if it were flat ground …
His footsteps were so brisk that Zhang Zipei, who was in the Corpse Wrapping Painting, kept calling him "freak" in his heart.
This "freak" didn't mean anything else; he just felt that Wang Ling's strength was too heaven-defying, and couldn't help exclaiming in his heart.
Walking through the mist, Wang Ling felt like he was watching an old movie, as if he had lived through several eras.
Countless creatures that had gone extinct in the universe appeared before his eyes. He saw a girl riding a white jade Qilin and an old man fishing for a Void Dragon with a straight hook …
All sorts of miraculous scenes appeared before his eyes.
This was not an illusion, but a real scene.
Wang Ling's King's Eye had the ability to separate the false from the real; if it was fake, these scenes would immediately split apart.
Zhang Zipei watched the entire process with Wang Ling. He was dumbstruck and speechless.
The scene in front of him was so strange that he didn't know what words to use to describe it.
"Mirror of Reality and Illusion?" After a long while, he said these four words skeptically.
Zhang Zipei remembered reading about it in Dao Ancestor Wang's notes.
There was this kind of miraculous secret land in the universe, which was constructed from the nomological laws of an Almighty. Everything here had the effect of a cosmic photo album.
All kinds of classic images from the development of the multiverse would be preserved, and then constantly "played" them in the secret land. These images looked like images, but were in fact visible and tangible.
They were no different from real scenes.
"When the false becomes the real, the real becomes the fake … Outer God Sothoth could easily create this world of reality and illusion," Zhang Zipei said.
Sothoth was known as the Omniscient and Omniscient of the Outer Gods. He was proficient in the network of the universe, and could be said to be omniscient and knowledgeable about every inch of the universe.
It wasn't difficult for such an unfathomable realm to create this Mirror of Reality and Illusion.
However, these seemingly beautiful scenes always made Zhang Zipi feel a little unreal.
The Outer Gods had always regarded human cultivators as fodder, and were extremely hostile to them.
If this Mirror of Reality and Illusion had really been created by "Sothoth," it should have recorded scenes of the glorious days when the Great Old Ones had dominated the universe in the past …
And sure enough.
In the next second, as Zhang Zipei was feeling doubtful, the scene in front of him instantly changed!
The smiling girl who had been riding on the white jade Qilin …
Suddenly, the Qilin she was sitting on turned around and bit her.
The little girl screamed as the berserk white jade Qilin directly bit her neck and crushed her head like a watermelon …
It turned out that the Great Old Ones had already implanted a type of parasitic spore under the Qilin's curly hair.
Nourished by the Qilin's blood, the spore grew rapidly and gave birth to invisible tentacles that controlled the Qilin to bite its owner to death.
Then, these tentacles continued to devour the Qilin until they finally became brand new "Great Old Ones" with the help of the white jade Qilin's body.
As for the old man who had been fishing with a straight hook, he was in the same miserable state as the little girl.
"Yiya!" Wang Nuan was a little nervous and couldn't help wrapping her arms around Wang Ling's neck.
Wang Ling stretched out a hand and gently patted Wang Nuan on the back.
The scene in front of them had indeed changed startlingly. It had been a harmonious scene just now, but in the blink of an eye, it had changed.
"I knew it would be like this …" Zhang Zipei sighed.
But the scene in front of him reminded Zhang Zipei of something else recorded in Dao Ancestor Wang's notes.
This was just Dao Ancestor Wang's deduction, but after seeing the scene in front of him, Zhang Zipei felt that it made a lot of sense.
Dao Ancestor Wang's deduction said, "It's very likely that the origin of humanity was a game played by the Great Old Ones."
The era of the ancient universe, which was the era when the Great Old Ones ruled the universe, was far before human cultivators.
Thus, it was reasonable to say that it was impossible for the Great Old Ones and human cultivators to coexist.
But the "Mirror of Reality and Illusion" in front of them clearly recorded the scene of the Great Old Ones possessing those humans … The most likely answer was that in order to expand their race, the Great Old Ones had used the power of nomological laws to build a new world of living beings.
And these new living beings were humans.
From God's perspective, they manipulated human cultivators and used them as their nourishment, which they continued to devour …
Until one day, the Great Old Ones were destroyed for some unknown reason.
And those "fodder" who were still alive turned over and became the new masters of the universe.
Of course, this was just Dao Ancestor Wang's own deduction; even Zhang Zipei didn't have any more evidence to support this.
"Boring."
Wang Ling gave a rare evaluation of Zhang Zipei's thoughts.
Zhang Zipei said, "This is just a deduction … You know, old people like us are all conspiracy theorists. Dao Ancestor Wang's words might not be completely correct … "
Wang Ling sighed.
He clenched his fists, deep in thought.
Perhaps in the entire universe, human civilization was so insignificant that it was just a drop in the ocean. Naturally, it couldn't be the most advanced civilization, and there was still a lot to be improved on.
However, the emergence of the human cultivator civilization definitely wasn't a subsidiary of another evil old civilization.
Was it actually using this Mirror of Reality and Illusion to slander human civilization?
Crispy noodle snacks were clearly so delicious …
At that moment, Wang Ling was in the third level of the Mirror of Reality.
A prompt appeared in the air again.
The golden text indicated that Wang Ling needed to appraise his strength for this level, and he needed at least three + ∞'s to pass.
But Wang Ling already felt that he was a little impatient with this game.
"Three + ∞'s …" At that moment, Wang Ling frowned.
Then, he rolled up the sleeve of his right hand.
When Zhang Zipei saw this, he instantly panicked. "You … what are you doing?"
Wang Ling flashed his fist, which was the size of a sandbag.
What was he doing?
Of course it was to overturn this Outer God Palace …
