Venturing into the Illusory Sea

Chapter 90 Venturing into the Illusory Sea

The Illusionary Sea is similar to the Sky Bridge and the Immortal Altar.

Anyone who is a core member of the Virtual Universe Company can go and try.

The Illusionary Sea primarily tests a cultivator's strength of consciousness and willpower.

Willpower and consciousness are extremely important in cultivation, breaking through bottlenecks, and combat.

In a battle between two cultivators of equal strength, with the same understanding of the laws and physical attributes, the cultivator with stronger will and awareness will definitely prevail.

Among cultivators with the same talent and potential, those with stronger consciousness and willpower are more likely to go further and become stronger.

The Illusionary Sea, despite its name, is actually a collection of 21 islands.

The stronger the will and illusion of the Illusionary Sea become from the outside in, the greater the reward will be.

Passing the first island rewards 100 points, passing the second island rewards 200 points, and so on.

The Illusory Ocean Plane.

The pitch-black sea roared, waves tens of meters high crashing against the cliffs, as if trying to swallow those above...

Zhou Tong, Luo Feng, Hong He, and Lei Shen were gazing at the seemingly endless sea of ​​illusions.

Luo Feng asked curiously, "These 21 islands in the Illusionary Sea are the same as the 21 levels of the Sky Bridge, aren't they?"

Zhou Tong explained, "The Bridge to Heaven tests one's understanding and application of the laws, the Illusionary Sea tests one's consciousness and will, and the Immortal Altar tests one's physical fitness and power."

"I see!" Luo Feng nodded.

Thor, eager to try, said, "Now that I've reached the state of oneness with heaven and earth, with the heart of a child, I wonder which island I can reach?"

Hong gazed intently at the islands: "We'll find out once we explore!"

After saying that, Hong flew straight to the first island, and then almost immediately flew to the second island.

Then the fifth... the eighth... the tenth...

At the same time, Thor and Luo Feng also began their journey to the island.

Thor's progress was not much slower than Hong's; in fact, it was almost right behind him, arriving one after the other.

Luo Feng barely stopped on the first five islands, but starting from the seventh island, his willpower pressure reached the level of a World Lord, and he slowed down significantly, and he hasn't passed through yet.

Because Hong, Lei Shen, and Luo Feng followed different paths of self-cultivation, they also used different methods to resist the willpower pressure and illusions of the Illusionary Sea.

Luo Feng takes an extreme approach: his heart is like a knife, cutting away all obstacles; his heart is like an ice mirror, untouched by external things, allowing him to see everything clearly.

Therefore, Luo Feng's journey through the Illusionary Sea was entirely a head-on confrontation, a direct clash that shattered everything.

Thor's childlike heart, his harmony with nature, his resonance with all things, and his unity with them all allow him to always find the most suitable path.

Hong's heart is boundless and all-encompassing. Whether it is an illusion or the pressure of will, it is all himself, so there is naturally no confrontation.

At this point, Hong and Thor had already crossed the thirteenth island and had just stepped onto the fourteenth island.

The pressure of will here has reached the level of immortality, and even Thor stopped here.

Hong, on the other hand, seemed to float along as if a gentle breeze was blowing across his face, continuing his journey through island after island.

"Luo Feng, hand over Earth..."

Luo Feng failed to conquer the eighth island and was eliminated.

"Immortality...so close...am I going to die of old age?"

On the fourteenth island, Thor, with his eyes closed and covered in sweat, was still persevering, but he appeared to be struggling.

Hong then made great strides and arrived at the 19th island.

"Good heavens! Thor and Hong were able to withstand the pressure of an immortal-level will for so long, while I couldn't even break through the pressure of a world lord-level will..."

Luo Feng, who had just emerged, walked up to Zhou Tong and stared in disbelief at Hong and Lei Shen, who were still engaged in their duel.

Zhou Tong smiled but didn't say anything, since he already knew all this in advance.

Besides them, the administrators of the Illusionary Sea were equally shocked.

On the edge of the 21st island, an old man in a golden robe with a face full of black scales stared in disbelief at Hong, who was only one island away from him.

"...The pressure of an immortal-level peak will! A cosmic-level pressure??? How...did he withstand it???"

Although the old man in the golden robe with black scales was shocked, he did not forget his job.

"Report this! It must be reported! This is an astonishing display of will..."

"...Lord of Chaos City!"

"Yes! I understand! I don't know anything."

After speaking, the old man in the golden robe with black scales immediately sat cross-legged and closed his eyes, like an old monk in meditation, as if he had never woken up.

When Hong and Lei Shen were preparing to venture into the Illusionary Sea, Zhou Tong sent a message to the Lord of Chaos City.

At first, the Lord of Chaos City didn't pay much attention to it, only giving it a sliver of his consciousness out of respect for Zhou Tong.

When Hong crossed the 20th island of the Illusionary Sea, he persisted for quite some time on the 21st island as well. Although he ultimately failed, the Lord of Chaos City was still quite surprised.

"Junior brother! You've given me another big surprise!"

Looking back, the Lord of Chaos City realized that apart from Zhou Tong becoming his disciple, the last time something had alarmed him so much was when his disciple Kedi died.

Meanwhile, inside Chaos City.

Zhou Tong, Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen felt their bodies lighten, and then time and space shifted, and they appeared in a quiet courtyard.

Realizing what was happening, Zhou Tong chuckled, "Senior Brother Chaos, I've discovered two super geniuses for the company. I wonder if there's a reward?"

Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen, who had just come to their senses, were all stunned when they heard Zhou Tong call the Chaos City Lord their senior brother. Their minds were blank, and they were speechless, their mouths agape.

The Chaos City Lord looked at the grinning Zhou Tong and said, "Junior Brother, can you just shut up for a bit?"

Looking at the four people in front of him, all of whom were from Earth, the Lord of Chaos City couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Zhou Tong and Luo Feng's talent for cultivation goes without saying, as demonstrated in the Genius Battle.

Unexpectedly, Hong and Lei Shen, whose cultivation talent was only one level below each other, possessed such terrifying will and consciousness.

I recall Zhou Tong saying that Earth and the mysterious, powerful figure, the Mountain Hermit, have a connection.

The Lord of Chaos couldn't help but ask, "What is the relationship between Earth and the Mountain-Sitting Guest?"

Zhou Tong knew that if he didn't explain things clearly today, the Lord of Chaos City would personally intervene and dig into the matter.

"The Earth has been terraformed by the Mountain Dwellers..."

After spending some time, Zhou Tong recounted Earth's past and the unique characteristics of the Earth's human race to the Lord of Chaos City.

"So, Earth is a special kind of treasure nurtured by the soul realm?!" The Chaos City Lord's expression turned slightly solemn, as if he were pondering something.

Zhou Tong said calmly, "You could say that, but Earth cannot be moved. When the Mountain-Sitting Guest transformed Earth, he also transformed thousands of light-years around it, making Earth the core of this cradle region, which is why we have the current effect."

At this moment, the Lord of Chaos City was also having a headache. According to common sense, the benefits would be maximized if Earth were classified as a seed of higher talent by the human race in the universe.

But Zhou Tong's current identity, his connection to Earth and the Mountain-Sitting Guest, and his affiliation with the Flame God Clan...

This made it impossible for the Chaos City Lord to treat Zhou Tong and his group with the same domineering and forceful attitude he had towards others.

"Junior brother, you've given me a real problem!"

"What problem... The company has gained a few more super geniuses, isn't that a good thing?"

Zhou Tong smiled and continued, "The four of us are all members of the Virtual Universe Company. I won't mention that I'm your junior brother. I recommended Luo Feng to become your disciple before. As for Hong and Lei Shen, find other senior brothers to take them as disciples. This is just a case of discovering a genius within the company."

The Chaos City Lord sighed, "The more geniuses the better, of course, but if Giant Axe asks about others..."

Zhou Tong pouted and said, "This is our company's internal matter, what business is it of anyone else's?"

"Besides, even if you, Senior Brother, brought the bloodlines of those top ten humans to Earth for training, to put it bluntly, by the time we become the masters of the universe, we might not even be able to cultivate a single immortal."

"As for the founder of the Giant Axe, would he care about these things? Besides, even if we don't respect the monk, we should respect the Buddha. I can be considered his junior brother. How dare he forcibly take from my family?"
