Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Everyone in the world had been halted. However, they were not protected by the golden light.
Rather than saying that time had stopped, it would be more accurate to say that his thoughts had been halted. However, his body had not stopped.
Wei Huo understood that the so-called Illusion Realm was actually a dreamscape without regrets.
He opened the door and walked out. After he took a few steps, a book fell from the sky and hit his head. Wei Huo took the book and saw the words ‘Dao Scripture’ on the cover.
Wei Huo was the main character in this world. He could do whatever he wanted and have whatever he wanted.
When he reached the road, he saw that the pedestrians were all halted. Wei Huo pushed a man and he fell to the ground.
This was the perfect world that everyone dreamed of. If one wanted to drive a luxurious car, one could drive it. If one wanted to stay in a luxurious house, one could do so. One could enjoy endless good food and have fun. There was also a top-notch cultivation technique, the Dao Scripture. If one wanted strength or a longer lifespan, it was not a problem.
However, this was just an illusion. Everything was fake. It was not real. It was like a reflection of the moon in a mirror. It could be seen but not touched.
Wei Huo flipped open the Dao Scripture. Unfortunately, the Dao Scripture was a wordless heavenly book that couldn’t be read because there was nothing in it.
Wei Huo could only walk in the direction of Kunlun Mountain. He remembered a theory. It was said that if someone could not wake up from a dream, they could try to return to the place where they had fallen asleep. If they saw another person there, they could wake up by attaching themselves to that person.
This might be the way to break through an illusion.
Wei Huo started rushing in the direction of Kunlun Mountain. Although everyone in this world had been halted, it seemed like no mutations had occurred. Given Wei Huo’s knowledge and skills, he could still survive.
Wei Huo went west and headed straight for Kunlun Mountain. After a long time, he finally arrived at the foot of Kunlun Mountain. He found a tool to dig through the mountain in the empty city on one side of Kunlun Mountain. It was probably because he was an ordinary person, but the mountain did not heal when he excavated it.
It turned out that the Kunlun Mountain trial had existed from the very beginning. The mountain would not heal when an ordinary person excavated it.
Wei Huo dug into Kunlun Mountain and arrived at the first level. The first level was still the small world above the sky, and beneath his feet was the sea. Wei Huo floated in the air as soon as he walked in. This time, he could not kill his way up. He could only comprehend the Dao and crack it.
Although he was only an ordinary person now, the difficulty of the test was not high. He climbed up the wall behind him and eventually reached the top of the sky. He thus arrived at the second level.
Although it was easy to reach the second level, it was not easy for an ordinary person to do so. It took a lot of physical strength to climb up. Besides, it was over 1,000 meters up. If one did not have enough physical strength, one would not be able to climb.
Wei Huo arrived at the second level and drank from the Fountain of Youth to recover his strength. He then started cracking the Peach Blossom Array. This time, he could not fly into the sky, nor did he have the Black Bomb. He only had time.
He would not age in this Illusion Realm. He seemed to have unlimited time. He guessed that his lifespan in the Illusion Realm should be the same as in reality. It should be at least a few thousand years. However, if he could not break through in this timeframe, he might die in the wild. Once a person died, the Illusion Realm would naturally disappear.
This was a terrifying calamity known as an unforeseen calamity. It was extremely difficult.
Wei Huo spent seven to eight years unraveling the secrets of the Peach Blossom Array. Not only did he leave this level, but he also comprehended the Peach Blossom Array. He arrived at the third level and obtained an ordinary set of armor. The third level was a primitive forest. One could only head to the fourth level by finding a portal in the forest.
