Jianchen stared at the powder in a daze and asked, "What's that?" In that instant, Jianchen actually failed to see what the white light was.
"That's a type of fish that lives near the Sea of Illusory Stars. They've mutated under the influence of the environment here. They're extremely fast, and this fish has reached the level of Class 6 Magical Beasts. However, it doesn't have a monster core, so even Saint Rulers can be injured if they're careless," the Heavenly Enchantress indifferently explained. Clearly, she understood the situation extremely well.
Jianchen was secretly surprised when he heard that. Class 6 Magical Beasts were equivalent to Heaven Saint Masters, so they were like ants in the eyes of Saint Rulers. They could be easily crushed to death with a flick of their fingers. They posed no threat to Saint Rulers at all. However, Saint Rulers were suppressed in the mist of the Sea of Illusory Stars. Not only were their senses reduced, but they were also unable to use Spatial Force. They were only able to see three meters away, so their strength was greatly weakened. This was a great opportunity for the Class 6 Magical Beasts to kill Saint Rulers.
Jianchen and the Heavenly Enchantress continued forward in the mist. However, Jianchen became even more cautious after the attack from the strange fish earlier. The bean-sized chaotic neidan in his dantian spat out large amounts of Chaotic Force without holding back at all, spreading it throughout Jianchen's body. He had pushed the Chaotic Force to its limits, so even the attacks of Third Heavenly Layer Saint Rulers would not be able to harm Jianchen at all.
As the two of them went deeper and deeper, the strange mist became thicker and thicker. Jian Chen's line of sight had already shrunk from three meters to two meters. Apart from a vast expanse of white, he could see nothing else. Jianchen's senses were suppressed in here, so he had lost even his most basic sense of direction. All he could do was slowly advance with the Heavenly Enchantress. The distance between them had shrunk from one meter to half a meter. Jianchen could even smell the faint fragrance from the Heavenly Enchantress, intoxicating him.
"Senior, how big is this dense area? How long will it take for us to pass through it?" Jianchen turned his head and asked the Heavenly Enchantress. Even though they were only half a meter apart, Jianchen could only see a blurry, violet figure.
"We have to travel a hundred kilometers before we can get out of this thick fog. With our current speed, it will probably take us another six hours." The Heavenly Enchantress said indifferently. The light in her enchanting eyes flickered as she cautiously glanced around.
At this moment, several white lights shot towards them from all directions at lightning speed. They were only discovered when they were two meters away from Jianchen and his companion, arriving in front of them in an instant.
Jianchen remained composed. He did not care about the white lights at all. The white lights had been formed by the mutated fish at an extremely fast speed. They were only Heaven Saint Masters at most, so attacks like that were unable to harm him at all.
Just as the white light was about to hit the two of them, a clear note suddenly sounded. It turned into a visible sound wave that spread out in all directions. When the sound wave came into contact with the white light formed by the jade pendant, the white light immediately turned into a pile of powder and was shattered by the sound of the zither.
Jianchen's eyes narrowed by an undetectable amount when he saw this. His understanding of the Heavenly Enchantress' strength increased by another level. Just a simple zither note from her possessed such terrifying power. No matter how many Heaven Saint Masters there were, they would not be able to block a single strum from her.
Jianchen and the Heavenly Enchantress were constantly harassed by mutated fish. The number of attacks they faced increased from a single fish to several thousand. However, these fish were only Class 6 Magical Beasts, so they were unable to block the Heavenly Enchantress' zither music no matter how many of them there were. Just a single sound wave was enough to pulverize hundreds or thousands of Class 6 Magical Beasts.
The two of them flew unhurriedly in the dense fog for two hours. They had already crossed a distance of more than eighty kilometers and were about to enter the Sea of Fantasy Stars through the dense fog.
The deeper they ventured into the fog, the denser it became. After traveling over eighty kilometers, the fog had basically solidified. Jianchen was no longer able to see anything clearly. He could not even see his fingers in front of him. The Heavenly Enchantress had completely vanished as well. Only the faint fragrance from the tip of his nose served as proof of her existence. Jianchen basically used his nose to find her location.
Suddenly, Jianchen felt the white fog around him churn violently. A blurry figure suddenly appeared before quickly clearing up. It was a white-robed, graceful, middle-aged woman. She stared at Jianchen with a loving smile.
Jianchen stared at the woman in front of him in a daze. Disbelief filled his face as well as an indescribable pain.
"Xiang'er, why have you come here? Have you come to visit your mother?" The middle-aged woman said gently. Her loving smile immediately melted Jian Chen's heart that was as hard as stone.
"Mother!" Jianchen instinctively replied. His voice was filled with sorrow, and even his eyes had become rather red.
Although the illusion had confused Jianchen's eyes, it did not confuse his mind. He knew that his mother was already dead and that her body was still in Mercenary City. She was waiting for him to revive her after he became a Class 7 Radiant Saint Master. Even though that was the case, Bi Yuntian's appearance still affected Jianchen greatly. He was unable to remain indifferent no matter what.
"Everything you see is an illusion. Don't lose yourself in it, or your mind will fall into it and you won't be able to break free." The Heavenly Enchantress' voice rang out in Jianchen's head. Her melodious voice possessed an enchanting charm. It had a calming effect, as if it could awaken people from their dreams.
Jianchen's heart heaved violently. A while later, he sucked in a deep breath and slowly calmed himself down. He forced his gaze away from his mother as he constantly flew forward with the Heavenly Enchantress.
"Xiang'er, what's wrong? I'm your mother. Don't you recognize your mother? Xiang'er, don't forget about your mother. You're my only child. I can't live without you." Bi Yuntian's expression suddenly became sorrowful. She let out a heart-wrenching cry. Her expression was filled with sorrow.
Jianchen's heart began to violently tremble. He clenched his fists tightly. He knew that this was an illusion created by the mist. It was impossible to stop it. The only thing he could do was remain clear-headed and not fall into it.
At this moment, Jianchen violently trembled. He suddenly saw his father, Changyang Ba, flee while covered in blood to his side. A few Earth Saint Masters sneered as they chased after Changyang Ba.
"Xiang'er, save me, save me. I'm your father," suddenly, Changyang Ba called out to Jianchen with a face covered in blood. His voice was extremely miserable.
Jianchen began to violently tremble. Surging killing intent had already appeared in his heart. He could not help but connect Changyang Ba's current appearance to the deaths of his parents. It was as if the five Earth Saint Masters had killed his parents in the same way.
"This is an illusion. My parents are already dead and I'm placing them in Mercenary City." I'm currently in Mercenary City, "Jianchen constantly muttered to himself as he forced himself to remain calm. Although he knew that this was an illusion, what he had experienced in the illusion was the greatest pain in Jianchen's heart.
"Xiang'er, save me. I'm your father." Changyang Ba called out for help once again. His voice filled with despair rang in Jianchen's ears, piercing Jianchen's heart deeply.
"Ah!" A miserable cry rang out from Changyang Ba's mouth. The people chasing after Changyang Ba had already stopped Changyang Ba. One of them had already pierced through Changyang Ba's chest with a Holy Weapon in his hand. He was currently speaking to Changyang Ba with a cold smile on his face.
Changyang Ba immediately collapsed in a pool of blood. His clothes were dyed red, and even the ground was dyed red.
"Xiang'er … Xiang'er … save your father …" Changyang Ba looked at Jianchen with dull and lifeless eyes as he said weakly. Soon after, the light in his eyes quickly faded away, becoming hollow. In the end, he lay on the ground, motionless.
Jianchen's heart violently trembled. Heavy pain filled his heart as two streams of sorrowful tears uncontrollably flowed from his eyes. Although he was a Saint Ruler, he placed far too much importance on his family. The tragic death of his father right in front of him had an unimaginable impact on Jianchen, making it difficult for him to maintain his composure.
This was because the matter of his parents was the greatest pain in Jianchen's heart. The illusions created by the mist had deeply affected Jianchen's mind.
"Argh!" Jianchen roared at the sky. The sound shook the sky and rang through the surroundings. With the roar, a tremendous presence and extremely dense killing intent radiated from his body. The Dragonslaying sword immediately appeared in his hand as the Chaotic Force within him surged into the sword, causing it to shine with a dark light. Afterward, it slashed toward the Earth Saint Masters who had killed Changyang Ba with a destructive presence.
Clang!
Suddenly, the sound of a zither rang out like a large bell. A powerful sound wave turned into a ripple that could be seen with the naked eye and hit the Dragon-Slaying Sword. The powerful rebound force directly bounced the Dragon-Slaying Sword back.
Not only did the bell-like sound block Jianchen's attack, but the ripples of the sound also reached Jianchen's head. It was like a huge rock had struck Jianchen's soul, giving him a splitting headache. He could not help but cry out in pain.
"Hmph, so much for being a Saint Ruler. You're already lost in a mere illusion. This is only the outermost region of the Sea of Illusory Stars. There are even more powerful illusions in there. I really don't know how you'll deal with them," the Heavenly Enchantress' cold voice rang out in Jianchen's head.
