The Invincible Dragon Emperor-Chapter 1251 - Three-tiered Illusion

“Whoosh~”

In a blurred world, someone was hurrying around like a headless chicken. He would go this way and that way. Sometimes, he would stop all of a sudden. Every now and then, he would mumble something like a lunatic.

“How can this be? How so?”

A moment later, that person stopped. His eyes spoke of confusion. Just now, he threw many things on the ground to try to verify if he had been going around in circles. However, it had been two hours, he didn’t find anything he had put on the ground.

In other words, he did not go back to the starting point. He was not working around in a small circle. However, he was fast. He must have crossed a long distance during this time. Was this illusionary world really boundless?

“Stone Golems!”

A moment later, Lu Li let out over a dozen Stone Golems from his Interspatial Ring. He made them go around while he sat down on the spot and waited.

He wanted to find out if the Stone Golems would come back around. If the formation of illusion could secretly change the direction, then the Stone Golems would come back around.

One hour, two hours, four hours!

Lu Li was more and more puzzled. Stone Golems were fast. If they were going in circles, they would have come back already. But none of them had come. What did it mean?

It meant that the world of illusion was really endless, vast beyond imagination. This was what Lu Li was worried about. If in fact, the illusionary world was without end, then it would be hard for him to run into others in here. Besides… how would he leave such a place? How was he going to solve this problem?

Imagine this. In a boundless world, there were no living creatures, including flowers and other plants. There was nothing to see here other than a complete blur!

In such a world, what a person saw in a year, two years or even a hundred years would always be nothing, always be chaos.

What would become of this man?

Committing suicide or losing his mind!

Even the strong-willed and the most resolute people would find it hard to keep a good conscience. After all, people could think and experience emotions of happiness, pain, sorrow, and loneliness…

Even just a couple of hours here, Lu Li was already freaking out, not to mention staying here for a hundred years. He could not think what it would be like if he were to stay here for a year, for 10 years, for a hundred years or a thousand years. One thing he was sure of was that he would become crazy.

“Buzzing~”

He entered the Wicked Bead at once. At least, in the Wicked Bead, he didn’t have to stare at the chaotic view. In here, he could enjoy some peace of mind so that he would not become increasingly agitated.

“Lord, is it bad out there?”

The Deaf Taoist asked with concern seeing how awful Lu Li appeared to be. Lu Li nodded and told him about what it was like outside. The Deaf Taoist was at a loss as well. Creatures from the Region of Doom were specialized in physical strength. They were not good at Profound Meanings or skills, let alone Inhibition Formations.

“Relax. I will find a way.”

Lu Li waved his hand. He dashed into the hall with books on Inhibition Formations. Looking at the tens of thousands of books, he found some relief. At least… there was still a trace of hope.

Tian Lingzi was a master craftsman. The tens of thousands of books must include knowledge about all Inhibition Formations. Now, he might not be able to find a way. In that case, he could finish all the books after decades of reading it at least. By the time his knowledge of Inhibition Formations reached a certain level, there was a chance that he could solve the problem here.

Of course, if there were other options. He would not stay here and read for a decade. After all, he was too young to be that patient. Things could experience a sea of change in a decade. Something might even go wrong at the Heaven Reverse Universe and Earth Imperial Universe.

“Blood Fairy, do you have any ideas?” Lu Li asked. The latter replied, “I don’t know. How about I go and take a look?”

“Sure. You can go.”

Lu Li let out the immortal’s body. Blood Fairy’s tentacles reached into the ground which was so stiff that not even a Relic weapon could cut it open. But for Blood Fairy, her tentacles were not tangible, so they could reach in.

Lu Li closed his eyes to rest. He calmed himself down. Next, he began to organize the books on Inhibition Formations in this hall. He wanted to find a solution here somewhere.

There were a lot of books here. Using six hours, Lu Li sorted out over a thousand. He went through some patiently. Soon, he stopped. This book was too sophisticated. Given his current understanding of Inhibition Formations, he could not comprehend it…

Reading, checking!

Lu Li would cram knowledge where he was not good at. He had forgotten about the world outside and Blood Fairy. He was completely absorbed in the vast sea that was Inhibition Formations.

Unknowingly, days passed. Lu Li had lost track of time since he began to study books on Inhibition Formations until Blood Fairy startled him.

“Master!”

Blood Fairy said, “The formation of illusion here is too strong. I am not able to completely solve it. But… I can find a way to solve the peripheral one first.”

“The peripheral one?” Lu Li could not understand. “Are you saying there are many formations of illusion here?”

“Right”

Blood Fairy was certain. “I can tell there are at least three tiers of formation. The first tier is the most common illusion of objects. The second tier is affecting souls, and the third tier is the one at the exit. To leave, you need to solve all three tiers. Otherwise, there is no way you can go.”

“Affecting souls?”

Lu Li was puzzled. “Do you mean… the formation of illusion can influence my soul?”

“Right”

Blood Fairy replied, “Master, I suppose what you see here and touch out there are all illusions. Everything is fake. The formation is affecting your soul directly and has disturbed your ability to tell illusion from reality.”

“Impressive!”

Lu Li exclaimed. The formation here was quite unbelievable and so sophisticated. If Blood Fairy was telling the truth, then this level would turn out to be rather hard.

“Master, I will find a way to solve the first tier of common illusion first!”

Blood Fairy continued, “But I need time, half a year or even up to one or two years. As for the other two tiers, I cannot solve them. You will have to do it.”

“Sure. Try your best!”

Lu Li nodded. Suddenly, he remembered something and asked, “Well, Blood Fairy, I once heard that an immortal from the Waters Region tamed a Bloodvine. He brought the Bloodvine to the Divinity and the Bloodvine evolved after consuming some herb! Do you know how to evolve? That hall has a lot of herbs and materials. If you can evolve, consume at will. I am willing to give you any herbs and materials.”

“Evolving?”

Blood Fairy was surprised. After a moment of surprise, she said, “Master, I do not know about this. Master, take me in and let me see if anything special can make me evolve.”

“Alright!”

Lu Li believed that if Blood Fairy could evolve, then she would turn out to be very useful to him. Maybe, the formations of illusion of this level could be coped with.
