Chapter 755

Shi Xuan and Mo Jingqiu looked at each other. Shen Chenxi's words had stirred up a storm in their hearts.

Fake? Did he mean that the Heavenly Tribulations and Blight of this world were fake, or that the world itself was fake?

With the cultivation of their Daoist hearts, they quickly suppressed their emotions and communicated calmly.

"At least the Blight of Shen Chenxi's Primordial Spirit is not fake." Shi Xuan's immortal consciousness swept out and carefully examined the power of the Great Dao on the surface of Shen Chenxi's Primordial Spirit.

Mo Jingqiu opened her eyes. "After becoming a Primordial Spirit, if one already knows that one's body is affected by illusions, inner demons, dreams, and other Taixu forces, one can definitely find abnormalities by looking at the Primordial Spirit. When you were examining Shen Chenxi just now, I went into a meditative state and didn't find anything. Unless it's an external illusion that turns illusions into reality, such as the Inner Demon Illusion. "

"You mean that this is the work of the inner demon of the half-step Golden Immortal, using a real Lord Of Heaven who has undergone four tribulations as the support of the inner demon illusion to confuse us?" Shi Xuan shook his head. "This can indeed explain many problems, such as why the Lord Of Heaven who has undergone four tribulations here is weaker than normal. Otherwise, how could we have killed the Perennial Deity? However, this world once had a half-step Golden Immortal, and the gradual decrease in the number of high-level cultivators cannot be explained."

"Of course, these few places can be used as an illusion to evolve at will, but what's the point? Moreover, the biggest problem is that if this is the work of the inner demon of the half-step Golden Immortal, it would be easy for him to deal with us directly. He wouldn't have to worry about you destroying the imprint at all. "

After going through the Blight of Daoist Heart and becoming a half-step Golden Immortal, one would be like a different kind of creature from the Lord Of Heaven. The difference in power was far greater than that of a Primordial Spirit and a Yin Spirit, or a Celestial and a Yang Spirit.

Mo Jingqiu agreed with this. They were all half-step Golden Immortals. There was no need to hide when dealing with her and Shi Xuan. She was just providing a possibility.

Looking at Shen Chenxi, she frowned. "Perfected Lord Shen's Blight is real, but it doesn't mean that the Blight of this world is real. After all, he is like us, a foreign Lord Of Heaven."

Shi Xuan pondered. "I, I need to do some more introspection and completely rule out the possibility of illusion."

After a few moments, Shi Xuan opened his eyes and nodded at Mo Jingqiu. "Indeed, it's not the two of us who have fallen into an illusion. It's either an external illusion, or the Heavenly Tribulation and Blight Tribulation are fake and controlled by a powerful expert." Shen Chenxi's word "fake" seemed to have pierced through Shi Xuan and Mo Jingqiu's knowledge barrier, allowing them to see the strangeness of this world beyond their own boundaries.

Mo Jingqiu chuckled. "We're finally one step closer to getting out. If we find some more clues, we might be able to connect the strangeness into a rope and point us to the exit."

Yan Qingying saw that the two had not returned after a few seconds, so she came over curiously. When she saw Shen Chenxi, her expression changed. "The Blight of the Lord Of Heaven's Primordial Spirit seems a little different. It's much fiercer than usual. How can he endure it?"

The Blight of Heaven and Heavenly Tribulation are fake! Mo Jingqiu felt happy, but she immediately suppressed it. She and Shi Xuan looked at each other and smiled bitterly. If it was an external illusion, then the Blight of Heaven and Heavenly Tribulation are also fake. There is no way to rule it out. The only thing they can be sure of is that Shen Chenxi's "fake" is real.

Shi Xuan smiled and answered Yan Qingying, "That's why I stopped out of curiosity. However, tracking Bai Ze is more important. Let's take him away first and investigate in the future."

As he spoke, Shi Xuan put Shen Chenxi into the Heaven and Earth Mountain River Painting. At the same time, he said to Mo Jingqiu, "Bai Ze is the inner demon, Lord Of Heaven. Maybe we can find some clues from him."

"That's great." Yan Qingying agreed. If she could find the reason for the abnormality of the Blight, she might be able to do the opposite and reduce the Blight of Dao. That way, she might be able to catch a glimpse of the half-step Golden Immortal realm.

After that, her conveyance light swept up Shi Xuan and the other two and continued to chase after Bai Ze. Due to the previous delay, the distance between them had widened. Fortunately, Bai Ze's conveyance light was not fast, and they were still three hundred thousand miles away.

…

A few days later, Bai Ze had crossed the Verdant Mountain Range and was flying towards a place where the baleful aura was denser.

Mo Jingqiu sensed the changes in the surrounding environment. "If we continue to chase, we might end up in the Underworld."

"Maybe Bai Ze wants to use the special terrain to get rid of us," Yan Qingying guessed.

Hearing their conversation, Shi Xuan was slightly stunned. He saw Bai Ze change direction, but he did not say anything. He let Yan Qingying keep moving forward and headed straight for the Underworld.

After that, Yan Qingying asked about Bai Ze's whereabouts several times. Shi Xuan replied, "Straight ahead."

Yan Qingying, who was focused on chasing, did not notice anything strange. Mo Jingqiu felt that something was wrong and asked, "Daoist Shi, did something happen? Did you lose track of Bai Ze? "

"I thought of something. Maybe when we reach the Underworld, we will be able to uncover the secret of this world." Shi Xuan's tone was calm, but Mo Jingqiu could hear the seriousness in his words. Thus, he did not ask anymore and waited attentively.

They were not far from the Underworld. After half a day, a mountain surrounded by Yin Qi appeared in front of them. Behind it was a Yin Fiend Cave that led directly to the Underworld.

The surrounding environment was special and ever-changing. Yan Qingying spent a lot of time to get close to the mountain. "True Lord Shi, where is Bai Ze?"

"I lost track of him. Let me sense more carefully," Shi Xuan said casually. He closed his eyes and focused on sensing the Underworld. Compared to leaving this world, chasing after Bai Ze was a trivial matter.

Yan Qingying let out a long sigh. "In the end, he used this special terrain to escape. There will be endless trouble in the future."

Along the way, she had gotten close to Bai Ze several times and almost succeeded, so she did not doubt Shi Xuan at all.

The Ghost Soldiers and Ghost Generals went in and out of the Yin Fiend Cave from time to time, but they did not dare to provoke Yan Qingying. She was the Fourth Tribulation Lord Of Heaven, and even the King Of Hell would not dare to do anything to her.

After two or three seconds, Shi Xuan slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were clear and there was a slight smile on his face.

Mo Jingqiu hurriedly asked with his Immortal Awareness, "Daoist Shi, did you find anything?"

"It's fake." Shi Xuan nodded with a smile and repeated Shen Chenxi's words. Then he said in detail, "This world is fake. It's an external illusion."

Mo Jingqiu cautiously confirmed again, "Really?"

"I once entered the Nine Nether World by mistake and got some of its aura. As long as I'm near the Underworld, I can sense the surging Yellow Spring that connects the Underworld and the Nine Nether. Sometimes, I can even sense which layer the Yellow Spring flows into." Shi Xuan explained with a smile. After discovering this in the chaotic Primitive Land, he tried it in countless worlds, and it was the same. "But the Yellow Spring in the Underworld can't be reflected in my Primordial Spirit."

Mo Jingqiu smiled sweetly, "The Underworld is connected to the Nine Nether. It's one of the foundations of the Great Way. Even the Universe Cauldron is no exception, unless it hasn't evolved into a real hell. The connection of the Yellow Spring is close to the Great Way. Since this illusion can't even be maintained by a half-step Golden Immortal, how can the Yellow Spring appear? "

Without a doubt, Mo Jingqiu was sure that this world was an external illusion.

"It's an external illusion, and it's not caused by the inner demons of a half-step Golden Immortal. There must be another reason." Shi Xuan was in a good mood. On the one hand, he had confirmed the strange origin of this world. On the other hand, Daozu hadn't found the Universe Cauldron yet. He just hoped that the other worlds in the Universe Cauldron wouldn't evolve into the real Underworld.

Shi Xuan understood this. Because the world here was not complete, even if some worlds could breed the Human Tribe, Evil Beasts, and Four Tribulations Chaos, they shouldn't be able to give birth to the Underworld, just like a Mini Chiliocosm couldn't give birth to another Mini Chiliocosm.

Once he confirmed that it was an external illusion, Mo Jingqiu's thoughts ran wild. "The entire illusion didn't attack us, which means it's not hostile. It didn't ask us to leave directly, which means it's not friendly. So, either the great mediocre expert who created the illusion only cared about the evolution of the illusion and didn't want to interfere with our affairs, or it's a treasure with low spiritual intelligence or even no spiritual intelligence that created the illusion on its own."

"If it's a great mediocre expert, why could he maintain the illusion of a half-step Golden Immortal hundreds of thousands of years ago? Now, even the number of high-level cultivators is pitifully small. Since he didn't leave, he shouldn't be in the state of being seriously injured and dying. Moreover, his injuries didn't get better, but only worsened."

Shi Xuan pondered over the first possibility. A great divinity that could conjure an illusion of a half-step Golden Immortal must be at least a half-step Golden Immortal. As long as he did not die on the spot, his injuries would only get better and not worsen. Moreover, a half-step Golden Immortal had stayed here for millions of years without taking a single step away, conjuring an illusory realm that was close to reality with continuous inheritance was not very realistic. He still had to complete the three thousand illusory Great Dao.

Mo Jingqiu nodded gently. "If it's the latter, does the change that happened hundreds of thousands of years ago mean that the treasure has been taken away and the illusion is only maintained by its remaining power? The highest strength that can be evolved is getting worse and worse, and the number of high-level cultivators is gradually decreasing."

After all, a real half-step Golden Immortal would control his power very well. Unless it was intentional, there wouldn't be too much power left. The illusion could only last for a few decades, but Shi Xuan and Mo Jingqiu couldn't see the possibility of it being intentional.

"Hundreds of thousands of years ago, the cultivators in this world had a very normal temperament. Since the disappearance of the half-step Golden Immortal, many Enlightened Beings and Lord Of Heaven with bad temperament appeared, and it became more and more intense. According to this hypothesis, it can be easily explained. Even the treasure that serves as the foundation has been taken away, and only the remaining power is left, so it's only natural that something abnormal would happen, "Shi Xuan agreed. This was a bold hypothesis, but he had to verify it carefully.

Mo Jingqiu smiled thoughtfully. "To be able to evolve the illusion of a half-step Golden Immortal, but have no spiritual intelligence or not high spiritual intelligence, with my knowledge, I can only think of one thing."

"The Void Mirror of Innate Dao Embryo." Shi Xuan continued. If it was also an innate spiritual treasure, then it would be the real Daozu. How could it not have a high spiritual intelligence?

Mo Jingqiu nodded slowly. "The innate spiritual treasure's power is restrained, and it won't appear unless it's driven to explode. Moreover, it can't last long."

"Phew, after the Void Daozu reincarnated, he became Daoist Yu Jing's disciple and achieved Dao hundreds of thousands of years ago. He even obtained the Void Seed of Dao, so the timing matches. After he became a half-step Golden Immortal, he probably came in and took away the Void Mirror of his main body before his reincarnation, and used it to imbue his Primordial Spirit with Dao. As for the remaining power of the innate Dao embryo, he naturally wouldn't waste time to recover. "
