Five Frozen Centuries

Chapter 237: Illusion Realm



Chapter 237: Illusion Realm

Everyone in the world had been halted. However, they were not protected by the golden light.

Rather than saying that time had stopped, it would be more accurate to say that his thoughts had been halted. However, his body had not stopped.

Wei Huo understood that the so-called Illusion Realm was actually a dreamscape without regrets.

He opened the door and walked out. After he took a few steps, a book fell from the sky and hit his head. Wei Huo took the book and saw the words ‘Dao Scripture’ on the cover.

Wei Huo was the main character in this world. He could do whatever he wanted and have whatever he wanted.

When he reached the road, he saw that the pedestrians were all halted. Wei Huo pushed a man and he fell to the ground.

This was the perfect world that everyone dreamed of. If one wanted to drive a luxurious car, one could drive it. If one wanted to stay in a luxurious house, one could do so. One could enjoy endless good food and have fun. There was also a top-notch cultivation technique, the Dao Scripture. If one wanted strength or a longer lifespan, it was not a problem.

However, this was just an illusion. Everything was fake. It was not real. It was like a reflection of the moon in a mirror. It could be seen but not touched.

Wei Huo flipped open the Dao Scripture. Unfortunately, the Dao Scripture was a wordless heavenly book that couldn’t be read because there was nothing in it.

Wei Huo could only walk in the direction of Kunlun Mountain. He remembered a theory. It was said that if someone could not wake up from a dream, they could try to return to the place where they had fallen asleep. If they saw another person there, they could wake up by attaching themselves to that person.

This might be the way to break through an illusion.

Wei Huo started rushing in the direction of Kunlun Mountain. Although everyone in this world had been halted, it seemed like no mutations had occurred. Given Wei Huo’s knowledge and skills, he could still survive.

Wei Huo went west and headed straight for Kunlun Mountain. After a long time, he finally arrived at the foot of Kunlun Mountain. He found a tool to dig through the mountain in the empty city on one side of Kunlun Mountain. It was probably because he was an ordinary person, but the mountain did not heal when he excavated it.

It turned out that the Kunlun Mountain trial had existed from the very beginning. The mountain would not heal when an ordinary person excavated it.

Wei Huo dug into Kunlun Mountain and arrived at the first level. The first level was still the small world above the sky, and beneath his feet was the sea. Wei Huo floated in the air as soon as he walked in. This time, he could not kill his way up. He could only comprehend the Dao and crack it.

Although he was only an ordinary person now, the difficulty of the test was not high. He climbed up the wall behind him and eventually reached the top of the sky. He thus arrived at the second level.

Although it was easy to reach the second level, it was not easy for an ordinary person to do so. It took a lot of physical strength to climb up. Besides, it was over 1,000 meters up. If one did not have enough physical strength, one would not be able to climb.

Wei Huo arrived at the second level and drank from the Fountain of Youth to recover his strength. He then started cracking the Peach Blossom Array. This time, he could not fly into the sky, nor did he have the Black Bomb. He only had time.

He would not age in this Illusion Realm. He seemed to have unlimited time. He guessed that his lifespan in the Illusion Realm should be the same as in reality. It should be at least a few thousand years. However, if he could not break through in this timeframe, he might die in the wild. Once a person died, the Illusion Realm would naturally disappear.

This was a terrifying calamity known as an unforeseen calamity. It was extremely difficult.

Wei Huo spent seven to eight years unraveling the secrets of the Peach Blossom Array. Not only did he leave this level, but he also comprehended the Peach Blossom Array. He arrived at the third level and obtained an ordinary set of armor. The third level was a primitive forest. One could only head to the fourth level by finding a portal in the forest.

There were still many ferocious beasts in the primitive forest, such as Human-Faced Spiders, Human-Shaped Mantises, Two-Headed Beasts, and Savages.

In the end, Wei Huo spent four years seeking the portal and finally arrived at the fourth level. The fourth level was not a problem for him. He already understood the secrets of this level. When he arrived at the fifth level, Wei Huo understood that this level was a small world formed by the mind. That was why he had taken many powerful weapons from it. Unfortunately, he was now an ordinary person. The fifth level didn’t produce any powerful creatures or weapons either.

On the sixth level, Wei Huo used various powerful weapons to conquer the Machine Empire and made them manufacture a spacecraft and a space suit. Although the spacecraft eventually exploded, Wei Huo arrived safely on the seventh level in the space suit.

The seventh level was simpler. Wei Huo did not say his real name, sneaked into the giant stone array, and obtained the Death Book. As the difficulty was not high, there was no aura of death this time. Wei Huo arrived at the eighth level with the Death Book and appeared on the floating continent.

Wei Huo sighed as he returned to the eighth level. He felt like he was playing a one-on-one game. When he had been playing the game in the beginning, he had not known anything. He had only been searching for ways to move forward. However, he was now playing the game quickly. He was using his understanding of the game to barge into Kunlun Mountain.

Hopefully, he could break free from the illusion.

Wei Huo found the Immortal Pond and walked in. Before long, he saw another version of himself sitting cross-legged in the pool.

Wei Huo was elated. He rushed over and attached himself to his body.

A moment later, Wei Huo opened his eyes. His cultivation had fully recovered. He checked the system and realized that 50 years had passed.

Wei Huo sighed. If I had not insisted on coming to Kunlun Mountain, I might have been completely engrossed in the Illusion Realm.

His body started flying. He did not walk on his own. Instead, Rule Power lifted him up. He did not see the golden armor or Xiao Qian. It seemed like they had yet to break through their illusions. No one could help each other at this step. One could only figure it out alone.

As Wei Huo kept flying in the sky, a seven-colored light shone on his body. He kept flying into the sky and finally broke through the eighth level to reach the ninth level.

As soon as he arrived at the ninth level, Wei Huo saw endless stairs after stairs. The stairs were suspended in the air, and at the end of the stairs was a magnificent palace.

Wei Huo looked at the palace and understood that the Dao Scripture was there. The palace emitted a seven-colored light, and the stairs were made of white jade. There were clouds all around it, so it seemed like he had arrived at the Heavenly Palace.

Wei Huo sighed. He had a feeling that his journey to Kunlun Mountain would be fraught with difficulties. After surviving all these calamities, he could finally obtain the true scripture.

However, as soon as Wei Huo took his first step, he suddenly found it unreal. It was a weird feeling, as if he had woken up from a dream, gotten up from the bed, and started washing his face and brushing his teeth before realizing that he was still dreaming.

He was dreaming. He had thought he was awake, but he was still dreaming!

Wei Huo kept climbing up the stairs and heading straight for the Heavenly Palace. He had a hunch that he might not be out yet.

He soon arrived at the Heavenly Palace and pushed open the door. The Heavenly Palace was dazzling and blinding.

In the center of the Heavenly Palace floated a book made of golden pages. The book kept emitting a golden light, and Rule Power flowed on the pages. Wei Huo walked over and saw the two words ‘Dao Scripture’ on the cover of the golden book.

It was obvious whether it was real or fake!
