"I was wondering why I felt like I missed out on something. It turns out I missed out on this."
Yan Liusu sighed deeply. His brows were tightly knitted together. He appeared troubled.
He was already awake, yet he could not leave the Hidden Territory. This in itself did not make sense. If it was anyone else, they would be filled with doubts and distress.
However, Ling Xian was not troubled.
Though he felt troubled, he believed there must be a way to get out.
Therefore, he comforted, "There is no need to be troubled. At least we are awake and know the strangeness of this Hidden Territory."
"You are right. However, it does not seem to be of any use knowing." Yan Liusu smiled bitterly.
"How is it useless?"
Ling Xian grinned, "Based on everyone's knowledge, as long as you are awake, you can leave the Hidden Territory. But this knowledge has no effect on this Hidden Territory. This proves that this Hidden Territory is different and cannot be broken with normal methods. "
Pausing, he continued, "In other words, we need to think differently from normal people. We need to look at this Hidden Territory and find a way to leave."
"Think differently from normal people?"
Yan Liusu chewed on these words and his brows were tightly knitted together. He was still a little confused.
Seeing this, Ling Xian explained patiently, "I think you have noticed that most people here are not created by the Hidden Territory. They are like us, cultivators who came here to explore."
"Yes. Most people are real existences with flesh and blood. This is completely different from the Hidden Territory that everyone knows." Yan Liusu nodded softly, still confused.
"Then did you notice that everyone is given a different identity by the Hidden Territory and their memories are altered?" Ling Xian grinned. His eyes flickered with intelligence.
"I …"
Yan Liusu froze. He remembered his identity. He was the Hidden Dragon Immortal. But what did that mean?
Ling Xian grinned, "There are millions of types of Hidden Territories in the world. I have not experienced many of them. But I know of one rule. Only one person experiences the Hidden Territory."
"Yes. As long as it is an Hidden Territory, other than the person who enters the Hidden Territory, everything else is fake. They are naturally created by the Hidden Territory." Yan Liusu nodded.
"However, this illusory realm gathered all the people who entered it together and gave them a new identity. This in itself is unusual."
Ling Xian squinted his eyes, "I can also feel that even though this world is fake, it has spiritual energy, rules, and Dao. It is no different from the real world."
After a pause, he sighed and said, "If I didn't know that this place was fake, I would have taken it as the real world."
Hearing this, Yan Liusu did not respond. Because he really did not understand what Ling Xian was talking about.
"Looking at these clues separately, perhaps they are only slightly abnormal, but when put together, I have a bold speculation."
Ling Xian's expression was serious as he said in a low voice, "Let's say the Hidden Territory is a person. He wants to create a world, a world he is familiar with."
"That's why he gathered everyone together and gave them new identities. Does that make sense?"
Yan Liusu fell silent.
He had to admit that Ling Xian's hypothesis was logical and logical. But this speculation was too shocking. Putting everything else aside, how could it be a person in an illusion?
"Based on my hypothesis, this world once existed. Or maybe it's more accurate to call it an era. Since this era exists, then our new identities are real. "
Ling Xian squinted his eyes. Even though he thought this speculation was too shocking, he couldn't help but continue. Because his instinct told him that this could be the truth.
"What about a motive?"
Yan Liusu couldn't help but ask, "If it is as you said and the Hidden Territory is a person, then what is his motive for creating this world?"
"I don't know."
Ling Xian shook his head, "But I'm guessing it's to reminisce. To reminisce about that era."
"That is far too unbelievable. Even though I cannot argue with you, I cannot accept it no matter what." Yan Liusu shook her head, refusing to believe it no matter what.
Ling Xian understood this. Anyone else wouldn't be able to accept this.
However, he was not asking Yan Liusu to accept it. He just wanted her to listen to him.
"What is the truth? Let the truth speak for itself." Ling Xian grinned, his eyes flickered with anticipation.
If he could prove his speculation was true, then he would have hope of leaving this strange Hidden Territory.
"The truth?"
Yan Liusu was confused, "Where can we find the truth?"
"Ancient books."
Ling Xian uttered out two words, "I am guessing this is a certain era. If we can find the relevant records, then we can prove my speculation is true."
"Makes sense."
Yan Liusu frowned. She suddenly remembered something and said, "I do know a place with countless books. There might be what we want there."
Hearing this, Ling Xian smiled.
The reason why he woke Yan Liusu up was to find an alliance. Two, he had just arrived here and needed someone familiar to lead the way.
Now that Yan Liusu said she knew a place, naturally he was happy.
"But, this is a fake world. How trustworthy are the books here?" Yan Liusu was doubtful.
"You are not wrong. But, who can tell the real from the fake?"
Ling Xian faintly smiled and stood up. "Let's go. We'll find out after we go."
"That's a good idea." Yan Liusu nodded softly. Then, she flew forward.
Ling Xian followed closely.
After some time, the two of them returned to the city and the ship.
"This is the place. Follow me."
Yan Liusu faintly smiled and walked straight into the ship. Then, led by a young girl, they arrived at an extremely elegant room.
This place was quiet and elegant. There was no smell of dust. It did not look like a brothel, but a place where a fairy lived.
When Yan Liusu and Ling Xian arrived at the door, a heavenly voice came from inside the room. Like pearls landing on a jade plate, it was extremely melodious.
"Esteemed guests have come to visit. I have failed to welcome you. Please forgive me."
As soon as the voice trailed off, a slender hand lifted up the beaded curtain, revealing a beautiful woman.
Ling Xian was a little startled at this. His eyes flashed with shock.
What could he do? This woman was far too beautiful. Whether it was her looks, her figure, or her temperament, they were all flawless. She truly was like a fairy walking on water. Her beauty was out of this world, and she could make all living beings fall for her.
Even though Ling Xian was used to seeing beauties, he couldn't help but to lose focus for a moment.
But then, his brows furrowed.
"You are being too polite. I came here out of the blue. I should be the one apologizing."
Yan Liusu was a little dazzled as well. Luckily, he remembered his purpose for coming here. "I came here today because I have a favor to ask."
"Oh?"
Shock flashed across Tan Meng's eyes. Then, she extended her arm, "Come in."
Seeing this, Yan Liusu marched forward in giant steps. Ling Xian did the same.
At the same time, he used his Qi to speak to Yan Liusu.
"Fake."
