The dilapidated city was littered with broken fences and dilapidated walls. Many places had been reduced to ruins, but amidst these ruins, one could still vaguely see the city's former glory.
There weren't many buildings with red lanterns hanging at the entrance. At this moment, this building was Lu Ye's last hope.
If everything was as he thought, then he might still have a chance to live.
But if he was wrong, then he could only wait for death.
On the brink of life and death, Lu Ye burst forth with unprecedented speed, killing his way out of the encirclement of the insectoids and rushing towards the building.
The insectoids chased after him relentlessly, and the chubby one was the most ferocious of them all.
The distance of a few hundred feet was covered in the blink of an eye. Lu Ye rushed into the building and immediately closed the door.
Just as he did this, a rumbling sound came from outside. It was the insectoids that were still alive. They attacked the building in a frenzy, their violent strength wreaking havoc, causing the wooden planks to creak.
Then, something strange happened.
No matter how these insectoids with strength comparable to True Lake Stage attacked, even if the entire building shook and the wooden planks creaked, the building was not damaged at all.
It was as if there was an invisible force protecting this building, preventing it from ever being damaged.
Lu Ye was still holding the door, afraid that the insectoids would rush in. But after sensing the unique nature of this building, he let go of his hands and slowly retreated.
Logically speaking, without him holding the door, the insectoids outside could easily break through the door and rush in.
But in reality, even though the two doors were violently attacked, there were no signs of them being opened.
He could hear the angry screams of the insectoids, as well as the sounds of nearby buildings collapsing. Only the building he was in was impregnable.
Lu Ye let out a long sigh of relief. His nervous mood relaxed, but his heart was filled with even more questions.
The situation was as he thought. If that was the case, was this really that place?
But … why did he enter this place?
Outside the building, the insectoids attacked fiercely for a long time before slowly dispersing.
The insectoids' intelligence was ultimately a flaw. It could even be said that the insectoids did not have much intelligence. They mostly acted on instinct.
Lu Ye hid in this indestructible building. They couldn't see or smell the enemy, so they quickly forgot about Lu Ye …
Inside the house, Lu Ye sensed the powerful auras around him leaving one by one. Only when all of the insectoids had disappeared did he truly relax.
Endless tiredness swept over him, making him drowsy. The wounds on his body also transmitted more unbearable pain than normal. This was an experience he had never experienced in the mirage before.
According to his speculation, his current state was a projection of his soul. The battle just now had consumed a lot of his energy, and he didn't know if he could recover by swallowing a panacea.
He would know once he tried it.
Lu Ye took out some Spirit Pills from his storage space and stuffed them into his mouth, silently refining them.
To his surprise, it was actually effective. As he refined the medicinal effects of the Spirit Pill, the energy in his body was slowly recovering.
He immediately sat down cross-legged. As he recovered, he thought about the current situation.
Through some observations during the escape, as well as the verification of rushing into this building at the end, Lu Ye could basically confirm that this place was a secret realm that he had been to before.
Immortal Origin City!
Immortal Origin City was a secret realm that appeared in the Spirit Stream Battlefield. When he first entered this place, he was only an Eighth Order Spirit Stream Realm cultivator. It had been a year or two since then.
Although a long time had passed, the memory of this place was still fresh in his mind. Because it was here that he had obtained several bottles of Soulcleansing Water, which had strengthened his soul. It could even be said that the benefits he obtained from the Hundred Formation Pagoda were directly related to the Soulcleansing Water.
Moreover, the various experiences in Immortal Origin City were unforgettable for Lu Ye.
When he first entered this place, he was alone, but with Hu Po's ability to transform frustrated spirits, he was like a fish in water here.
The gambling addict Liu Sanbao, the wailing pipa girl, the scholar who liked to be praised but was actually not talented, the butcher who held a boning knife, the blind fortune teller who claimed to be unparalleled in divination but was actually a muscle-bound blind fortune teller, all of them had become Hu Po's frustrated spirits. It was by relying on these special frustrated spirits that Lu Ye was able to change the outcome of the confrontation between the cultivators of the two camps.
At that time, almost all of the Myriad Demon Ridge cultivators who entered here were killed, and in the end, only a few fish escaped the net and survived.
When he first entered Immortal Origin City, Lu Ye didn't think much about it. He only thought that this was a secret realm to hone himself, and he also obtained a lot of benefits in this secret realm.
But now, it seemed that this place was not just a secret realm. It seemed that there were other secrets hidden.
This made him think of the woman in red sitting on the swing and the City Lord of Immortal Origin City …
At that time, Lu Ye only felt that these two were existences that Spirit Stream Realm cultivators absolutely could not compete with. It was really puzzling that they appeared in a secret realm where Spirit Stream Realm cultivators were training. Fortunately, these two did not have much malice towards the cultivators who came in to train, otherwise, none of the cultivators at that time would have the power to resist.
The second mirage realm was actually connected to Immortal Origin City, which made Lu Ye very puzzled. He couldn't understand why.
The reason why he judged this place to be Immortal Origin City was that on the way to escape, he had a lot of familiar feelings.
After all, he had been to this place before, so he naturally felt familiar with it.
The second reason, which was also the main reason, was the building with the red lanterns hanging at the door!
When he first entered the secret realm of Immortal Origin City, the enemies of the cultivators were the Immortal Origin Guards scattered in the city, apart from the cultivators of the enemy camp.
The strength of these Immortal Origin Guards was not ordinary, especially the captains. Each of them was extremely powerful. To Immortal Origin City, cultivators were foreign invaders. Once the patrolling Immortal Origin Guards found traces of cultivators, they would immediately take action, capture the cultivators, and imprison them in the dungeon.
Generally, those who were imprisoned in the dungeon did not have a good ending.
Few cultivators could escape the pursuit of the Immortal Origin Guards.
However, cultivators could hide in the buildings with the red lanterns hanging at the door because the Immortal Origin Guards could not enter these buildings with the red lanterns hanging at the door.
Lu Ye had done this before. He was chased to a corner by the Immortal Origin Guards, and then hid in a building to escape the pursuit of the Immortal Origin Guards. In the end, he met the gambling addict Liu Sanbao in that building …
That was also the first frustrated spirit that Hu Po had subdued here.
History was always surprisingly similar.
The first time he came to Immortal Origin City, Lu Ye used this special building to escape the pursuit of the Immortal Origin Guards.
Now, the second time he came here, he also used this special building to escape the pursuit of the Insect Race.
These special buildings seemed to be endowed with a special protective power. They could not be destroyed and could not be damaged, allowing cultivators in danger to have a safe harbor.
Of course, judging this place to be Immortal Origin City was somewhat arbitrary, but Lu Ye felt that it was not far from the truth.
This was most likely Immortal Origin City.
Not to mention why the second stage of the Mirage Realm was connected to Immortal Origin City, the current situation showed that Immortal Origin City had obviously been occupied by the Insect Race.
Thinking about it, although the Immortal Origin Guards in Immortal Origin City were not bad, they were only equivalent to the Spirit Stream Realm.
After Lu Ye entered, although there were Spirit Stream Realm Insects, there were also Cloud River Realm Insects and True Lake Realm Insects …
He did not encounter any Spirit Ocean Realm Insects, but Lu Ye recalled the huge gap in the sky that he saw previously. Spirit Ocean Realm Insects might exist, but he was lucky not to encounter them.
How could the Immortal Origin Guards resist such an Insect Race with their strength? Perhaps even the woman in red and the City Lord, who seemed unfathomable back then, would not be able to withstand it.
Spirit Bodies could also die …
Thinking of Liu Sanbao and the other spirit bodies, Lu Ye felt sad. No matter what, those guys had provided him with great help, but now they were probably gone.
Although he inexplicably came to Immortal Origin City again, and the situation was extremely dangerous, this was a rare opportunity.
There was a Soul Cleansing Pool here! There was Soul Cleansing Water in the Soul Cleansing Pool!
That was a treasure that even Spirit Ocean Realm cultivators coveted. Except in secret realms like Immortal Origin City, there was no other way to obtain it. Even the Tianji Treasure House did not sell it.
Lu Ye obtained a lot of Soul Cleansing Water from here last time, and he used a lot of it himself, making his soul far superior to cultivators of the same realm. He shared some of it, and now there was only half a bottle left.
But who would complain about having too many of such treasures?
However, to get Soul Cleansing Water, one must first go to the Soul Cleansing Pool, which was in the direction of the City Lord Mansion, in the center of Immortal Origin City.
Lu Ye did not know if he could do it with his current strength, but since the opportunity was in front of him, he had to give it a try. If he succeeded, he would be rich.
The reason why he could not get more Soul Cleansing Water was that time was limited. The City Lord of Immortal Origin City only gave him a little time.
Now that the City Lord was most likely gone, as long as he could reach the Soul Cleansing Pool, he could take as much as he wanted. There were no more restrictions, and he might be able to take the entire Soul Cleansing Pool!
Thinking of this, Lu Ye's mind was burning. Although this matter was somewhat inexplicable, it might be a blessing in disguise.
Many thoughts kept rolling in his mind, and Lu Ye continued to recuperate.
However, to his surprise, no matter how many Spirit Pills he swallowed, the feeling of exhaustion lingered, and the wounds on his body showed no signs of healing.
After thinking about it, Lu Ye understood.
Right now, he was in a kind of out-of-body state, so strictly speaking, he was a spirit body. Although he didn't know why he could take spirit pills to replenish his spirit power, the spirit power he had consumed in the previous battle couldn't be replenished in a short period of time.
In particular, there were many injuries on his body. These were injuries on his Spirit Body, and had nothing to do with the strength of his physical body. Therefore, swallowing Spirit Pills had no effect on the recovery of his injuries and spirit.
