20demayo Chapter 123: Elusive
Chapter 123: Elusive
The gentle breeze caresses my face, like a mother's soft hand, bringing a refreshing coolness that makes me feel relaxed and happy. At this moment, everything around me seems so beautiful and peaceful, like a carefully painted painting.
Yet, who could have imagined what a thrilling story lay hidden beneath this seemingly peaceful surface? That man was once trapped in a mysterious and unfathomable fantasy world, filled with countless unimaginable hardships and dangers. Every step was like treading on thin ice, and a single misstep could lead to eternal damnation. Yet, he refused to give in. With unwavering perseverance and extraordinary wisdom, he overcame all obstacles and ultimately succeeded in escaping the bewildering illusion.
But as he stepped out of the illusion, full of anticipation, ready to embrace a new life, he was shocked to discover that the outside world was no longer what he remembered. The once bustling streets, bustling with traffic, were now deserted and deserted. The once familiar shops were closed, their signs thick with dust, as if forgotten by time. The streets were no longer filled with the cries of hawkers, replaced by a deathly silence. Even the faces that had once been so familiar had vanished like smoke, leaving no trace.
Furthermore, the seasons seemed to shift quietly and imperceptibly. The warm, sunny weather of spring suddenly turned bitterly cold, with a biting wind howling and making people shiver. The earth was barren and yellow, the trees withered, and the fallen leaves fluttered in the wind, as if telling of the relentless passage of time.
The most terrifying and despairing moment came when he suddenly realized that everything he had experienced was nothing but a dream. The immense sense of loss that welled up within him threatened to consume him. All the sweat and tears, all the hard work and struggle, in the end, were nothing but a dream. All the effort and dedication vanished in an instant. The profound loss and endless despair, like a surging tide, repeatedly overwhelmed his fragile mental defenses, bringing him to the brink of collapse. No words could accurately describe it.
However, when he stepped out of the illusion, he was shocked to find that the scene outside was exactly the same as the moment he stepped into the illusion!
Time seems to have frozen here, not moving at all.
It is precisely because of this magical quality that in the vast and boundless world of cultivation, which is filled with countless unsolved mysteries and astonishing miracles, many huge sects with powerful strength and long-standing heritage often perform jaw-dropping and bizarre spells, meticulously carving out one dreamlike world after another.
——This is what people call "illusion".
Moreover, these famous sects are quite generous in opening up such rare resources to their own disciples, allowing them to practice and hone themselves through hardships.
Admittedly, adopting such an approach would require the consumption of a certain amount of extremely precious and rare spirit stones as backing support.
However, apart from this, it is difficult to find any other obvious flaws or shortcomings.
After all, as long as one can control the crucial element of time without leaking out, whether it is for the disciples who practice diligently day after day and hope to surpass their own limits as soon as possible;
From the perspective of the grand blueprint for the long-term development of the entire sect, it is undoubtedly a wise move with more benefits than disadvantages!
If we look at it from the perspective of the long-term development of the entire sect, whether it is exploring how to use limited time more efficiently and reasonably, or delving into how to fairly distribute various sect resources, this is undoubtedly a wise choice with significant advantages and is extremely beneficial.
But at this very moment, from the depths of Yu Fangcongyi and Lu Yan's eyes, the illusion they had rashly entered this time was completely different from the illusions Lu Yan had personally experienced and witnessed in the past!
Let's not talk about what they saw after entering this mysterious place.
——The sun and the cold moon hanging high in the sky were like naughty children, changing their positions irregularly, making it impossible to accurately determine the current time.
Just to talk about the unpredictable environment around here, sometimes there are howling winds, flying sand and rocks, and sometimes it is quiet and silent, as if time has stopped.
The ground is covered with green grass and colorful flowers one moment, but in the blink of an eye it turns into a barren desert or a jungle full of thorns.
These strange sights made the two of them feel a chill in their hearts and they found it hard to believe what they saw.
What is even more troublesome is that even though the two of them did not suffer any physical trauma, and only suffered some degree of shock and interference on the mental level, they are still completely unaware of even the slightest and insignificant disturbance from the outside world.
"This situation is so frustrating and helpless. I don't know what to do..."
Lu Yan stared intently at the complicated and confusing situation in front of him. His two sword-like eyebrows were tightly gathered together, looking as if they were about to be twisted into a thick braid.
At this moment, he felt as if there were tens of millions of ants gnawing and biting madly in his heart, and he was extremely anxious and restless.
Although he had racked his brains and thought hard for a long time, he was still helpless in the end. He could not think of any effective way or method to calmly deal with the difficult, harsh and embarrassing situation he was in.
Now that things have come to this, there is really no better choice!
The situation we are in now is like those blind men groping for an elephant in the dark, with no idea of the whole picture.
Every step forward is full of unknowns and dangers, so we must be extra careful.
I could only move forward slowly and arduously, step by step, like crossing a river by feeling the stones, observing the surrounding situation as I walked.
