577 Illusion (1)
“Because this is our first encounter, I had a deep impression of you.”
Song Shi sighed. Why did it feel strange to talk about this here?
Du Ming’e misunderstood and felt a little embarrassed. She changed the topic, “I still don’t know which lower realm Brother Song is from?”
Song Shi was curious about the relationship between the Mystic Yellow Realm and the Mystic Spirit Realm. He said, “I’m from the Mystic Spirit Realm.”
“The Mystic Spirit Realm? I heard that it was originally very close to our Mystic Yellow Realm.”
Du Ming’e muttered, “I wonder if it’s that Mystic Spirit Realm. It’s rumored that the names of the lower realms are easily repeated.”
“I think so. I’ve also heard some rumors in the Mystic Spirit Realm. It should be said that the two realms have a deep relationship.”
Song Shi deliberately guided him.
“If that’s the case, it’s very likely related to the Mystic Spirit Realm that was once prepared to fuse with our Mystic Yellow Realm and advance to the new Immortal World.”
Du Ming’e was deep in thought.
“Is that so?”
Song Shi was stunned. So that was what the Mystic Spirit Ancestor was sighing about.
“Yes, our Mystic Yellow Realm is quite powerful and can be ranked at the front of many lower realms. I heard that it’s very similar to the origin of the Mystic Spirit Realm. Once, the two realms wanted to fuse and advance to an interface comparable to the Immortal World. Unfortunately, they failed. After that, they parted ways and did not contact each other for many years.”
Du Ming’e calmly told him about this past. If not for her extraordinary family background, she might not have been able to understand this matter from countless years ago.
“Interesting. The interface can still be improved. Is this how the Immortal World comes about now?”
Song Shi was curious.
“Some are, some aren’t.”
Di Ling actually joined the discussion and said disdainfully, “It’s too simple for your two worlds to fuse and advance to the Immortal World. After ancient times, no lower plane could advance. They can only submit to a certain Immortal World or God Realm.”
When Song Shi heard this, he thought of something and revealed a thoughtful expression.
Seeing that the atmosphere had turned cold the moment he arrived, Di Ling continued, “It’s been so long. There’s no need to say anything else. You should prepare for the Ascended Immortal Gathering. It’s rare for the two of you to have some relationship. I hope that you can enter a high-grade immortal sect when the time comes. That way, I’ll benefit too.”
Song Shi felt that this guy was really talkative, so he gave him a chance. “Envoy Di, I wonder which factions are participating in the Ascended Immortal Gathering this time?”
“I’m not sure about that. Every Ascended Immortal Gathering is arranged according to the situation of the various immortal sects. Other than those who like to choose their disciples, most of them will only come if they have needs. We have 3,000 immortal sects in the Great Mastery Immortal World, but our needs are not certain.”
Di Ling shook his head.
It was equivalent to not saying anything. Song Shi regretted asking and gloomily prepared to continue studying the Talisman Language.
As if feeling a little embarrassed, Di Ling added, “However, I’m sure that you will go to at least the three high-grade immortal sects every time. You have to seize the opportunity.”
Song Shi nodded and quietly studied the talismans.
Du Ming’e smiled at Di Ling, “Immortal Envoy, I’ll also seize the time to cultivate for a period of time and prepare for the Ascended Immortal Gathering.”
It was not appropriate for Di Ling to talk to her. He gestured for Du Ming’e to cultivate in the square and disappeared.
The Ascension Platform fell silent again, as usual.
Other than ascenders, this place usually received envoys and some immortal palaces of the Immortal Court. Therefore, it was especially lonely.
Di Ling watched in boredom as Song Shi and Du Ming’e studied the Dao of talismans while the other absorbed immortal energy to convert it into Dharma Power. He sighed.
It was too monotonous to stay here. Most of the time, not a single person spoke.
As time passed, while Song Shi studied the talismans, he would also discuss cultivation with Du Ming’e. Occasionally, they would understand the situation of the two worlds and gradually become familiar with each other.
Soon, three months passed and there were no more ascenders.
On the last day, Di Ling appeared between the two of them and said, “It’s time to go. We’ll meet again if fate allows it.”
Song Shi felt that these words were strange. He turned around and asked, “How do we leave?”
“Hehe, since this place can guide the two of you from the lower realm, it naturally has a powerful teleportation power. I’ll send you away next. Someone will receive you in the future.”
He took out a token and activated it. Two pillars of light descended from the sky and enveloped Song Shi and Du Ming’e. The power of space surged over and a powerful teleportation force brought them away from the Ascension Immortal Platform.
Song Shi glanced at Du Ming’e.
The latter changed into a long dress embroidered with flowers and tied a silver belt. She was graceful and moving. Her skin was fair and her long hair fluttered. Her phoenix eyes happened to look over as well. Her red lips curled up slightly and she smiled.
In the next moment, the two of them were blocked by the light. The void twisted and they immediately entered the teleportation.
This time, the speed was not as terrifying as when they ascended. The surrounding space changed to a normal range. Song Shi looked ahead. Soon, a circle of blurry light appeared.
When he saw this light, he felt that something was wrong. Then, he shook his head. There couldn’t be anyone dealing with the Immortal Court, right? Even if there was, it wouldn’t be targeting them, who had just ascended.
Just as he was thinking this, a colorful vortex appeared at the end of the passageway. Song Shi allowed the teleportation power to send him over.
Swoosh!
As if he had passed through a layer of water, Song Shi landed on a desolate land. The vegetation here was especially tall, but he immediately felt that something was amiss.
Wasn’t the Immortal World filled with immortal birds and divine beasts and auspicious clouds? Why did it feel like he had arrived at a desolate land?
Swish swish swish!
Du Ming’e and other strangers appeared beside him. There were old and young, men and women, more than 300 of them. At once, they looked densely packed. They were all cultivators who had transcended the tribulation and ascended. When they saw their surroundings, they revealed surprised expressions.
According to what most people thought, since they were participating in the Ascended Immortal Gathering, they should have gathered in an immortal palace or square and mentioned the exact situation. Why had they been thrown into this wasteland?
“What’s going on? No one came out to explain?”
“Where’s the Immortal Envoy? Didn’t they say that someone is bringing us to the Ascended Immortal Gathering?”
“What exactly is this place? Why do I feel that something is amiss?”
“I heard from the guide that there’s a test in the Ascended Immortal Gathering. Could it have started directly?”
After more than 300 cultivators spoke, this desolate land immediately became lively.
“Brother Song, what do you think happened?”
Du Ming’e approached Song Shi. The two sides were most familiar with each other and had a natural foundation for cooperation.
“It should be a test. I don’t think anyone can bring more than 300 ascenders here under the nose of the Immortal Court.”
Song Shi said calmly without any panic. He subconsciously touched his chest and realized that the Life and Death Coffin had disappeared. A smile appeared on his face. “We’ll just improvise.”
At this moment, he already understood why he felt that something was wrong when he first saw the blurry light and vortex. It turned out that he had already been affected by an illusion at that time.
The scene in front of him should be an illusion.
However, to be able to pull so many cultivators into the same illusion, this method was definitely not simple.
“Brother Song is bold and careful. Please take care of me from now on.”
Du Ming’e smiled and praised, looking beautiful and moving.
