Chapter 862 - Insane Idea
“Why does this mystic realm have nothing?”
Jiang Yi had arrived at a mystical place, and it seemed as though it was another world concealed inside the deep sea. There was no seawater on the inside, and it was very bright. This place wasn’t big; Jiang Yi’s divine senses could sense the borders, and there was a layer of a white halo. The reason why this place was so bright was mainly due to the illumination from the white halo.
Jiang Yi felt as though he entered a bubble, and the interior of this bubble was also an independent world. Apart from stone peaks with strange shapes, there was nothing else.
The stone peaks were emitting a light radiance and there were multiple colors. The stone peaks were shaped strangely as there was one like a sleeping elephant, one like a bamboo, one like a sickle, and one in the shape of an ostrich egg.
Jiang Yi had scanned his divine senses inside for a few times, and he had confirmed that apart from rocks, there was nothing else. There were no signs of life as well. He left the teleportation array that brought him in and walked in lightly. He didn’t dare to recklessly sense those rocks and just observed the surroundings carefully.
Roar!
When he was approaching one of the stone peaks, there was a giant beast roar that came from the stone peak. Immediately after, the stone peak flashed with black light and turned into an enormous giant beast. It had a pair of icy cold eyes, and the powerful aura presence from the giant beast had made Jiang Yi felt a mortal danger.
This was a Mammoth Beast, and it had a body that was more than 120 meters long while having an aura presence which wasn’t inferior to the Black Deity. The gargantuan demon emitted a pressure which caused Jiang Yi’s leg to weaken while his butt almost sat on the ground.
He experienced the feeling of being enveloped by killing aura and beast prowess, causing his body to tremble involuntarily. His hands and legs were going numb while his essence force was going haywire as he was unable to form an attack.
“Get lost, human, or you shall be killed without mercy!”
The icy cold mystical beast grinned and sneered. Jiang Yi had instinctively turned around to rush towards the teleportation array at his fastest speed. This was a type of reaction when a human was facing an enormous danger. His mind only had the thought to escape, and he had to escape immediately, or he would die without a doubt!
Swish!
Jiang Yi wasn’t far away from the teleportation array. His essence force might be in disorder, but his physical speed wasn’t bad. He was about to rush into the teleportation array. Just as he was going to enter the teleportation array, his soul spirit suddenly shivered. He slapped his head and said, “This isn’t right! How can I leave like this?”
He would be teleported out as soon as he stepped into the teleportation array. He wasn’t sure if he could enter again, but he would be utterly ashamed. How could he immediately be scared witless and escape after just entering the mystic realm? How could he not be ashamed like this?
“This should be an illusion zone!”
His mind had a flash of thought. If that was truly a powerful Demon Sovereign inside, Ao Lu wouldn’t have let him in while the Black Deity would have warned him. There would definitely be countless deaths among the Golden Crow Race, too. He had checked the surroundings earlier, and there weren’t any signs of life. Thus, this was definitely a mystic realm that was created by this Demon Sovereign.
“Mirage Divine Ability. The ability to change into all forms and to change the soul spirit aura presence! That’s right! This must be an illusion zone. This is just a rock, and if it is a Demon Sovereign, I would already be dead. Why would it ask me to get out?”
The more Jiang Yi thought, the firmer he got. He halted his footsteps and gradually looked behind him. When he saw those distant icy eyes, his soul spirit shivered again as his mind surged with warnings of extreme danger.
At this moment, everything he had determined earlier had been overruled. Those icy cold eyes and that powerful beast prowess were telling them that this was a true Demon Sovereign, and if he didn’t flee, he would be smashed into smithereens!
“To flee or not?”
His heart was in a great war as two thoughts were striving to seize control in his soul spirit. He was facing an unprecedented dilemma. This was a stir in his soul spirit and internal conflict between a human’s instincts and heart.
“That’s right, Union of Heaven and Man!”
His mind flashed with an idea. It was extremely simple to determine if this was a true Demon Sovereign or not. He closed his eyes and entered the Union of Heaven and Man state. He sensed the surroundings carefully and locked onto that Demon Sovereign and determined if he was a true Demon Sovereign or not.
The result made his heart at ease.
The aura presence coming from the body of the Demon Sovereign was vast like the sea and so powerful that it would cause anyone to tremble. However, the Demon Sovereign didn’t have life presence in it, and it was certainly formed by illusions.
“Huff…”
After confirming this point, he let out a long hush as his heart was no longer fearful and hesitant. He had made a decision that he was going to stay here no matter what happened. He was going to think of a way to comprehend the Mirage Divine Ability.
“I must stay here and comprehend the Mirage Divine Ability. I must go to the East Imperial Continent and rescue Su Ruoxue. My heart must not waver; I must conquer my fear!”
Jiang Yi slowly opened his eyes and looked at the giant beast in the distance. His body might be instinctively shaking when he looked into those icy cold eyes, but his soul spirit was calm. He no longer had the thoughts of fleeing.
“What must I do to comprehend the Mirage Divine Ability?”
Jiang Yi stood in his original place while his eyes flickered. He couldn’t feel any trace of the dao presence, and there was nothing here apart from the stone peaks and the illusion elephant. Even if he wanted to sense something, there was nothing for him to sense.
“Illusion elephant. That’s right… this mystic realm’s most peculiar thing is the illusion elephant. Thus, if I want to comprehend the Mirage Divine Ability, I have to start from this illusion elephant.”
Jiang Yi quickly found the direction. He sat cross-legged and entered the Union of Heaven and Man state again. He checked the illusion elephant carefully and attempted to find some opportunity inside the elephant to sense a trace of dao presence and comprehend the Mirage Divine Ability.
Unfortunately…
After scanning for ten days and nights, he still didn’t make any discovery. He had checked the illusion elephant, and it was no different from a Demon Sovereign. Apart from the ferocious aura presence, there was nothing else.
“What should I do?”
Jiang Yi felt as though there was a clean sheet of paper at the front, and he had to find a painting on it. He was completely at a loss and didn’t know where to start. His heart had involuntarily got anxious, and the more anxious he got, the harder it was to keep calm, creating a vicious cycle.
“This isn’t right. Why is my heart so unstable?”
Jiang Yi suddenly detected a problem. His heart should already be strong, and he had been comprehending for ten days and nights only. Why was he getting anxious?
He looked around and silently felt that it was definitely the tricks of this illusion zone, which was attempting to disrupt his mind, making him more frustrated, and making him leave due to the unbearable anxiety.
“Unstable heart? Fear? Mirage? Soul spirit aura presence?”
Jiang Yi had an indescribable feeling that this mystic realm was closely connected to one’s nature. In order to successfully comprehend the Mirage Divine Ability, he had to make his heart stronger!
How was one going to make the heart stronger?
Jiang Yi’s eyes revealed a trace of ruthlessness as he looked at the massive beast from afar while he had this insane idea!
Since the mystic realm wanted to force him out, all the more he shouldn’t. Since the giant beast was trying to intimidate him, all the more he should approach it. Only by conquering the fear, would he be able to strengthen his heart.
He slowly stood up and stared at the Mammoth Beast from afar while slowly taking each step towards the giant beast. If he was going to conquer his fear, he had to challenge himself and approach that Mammoth Beast!
