Chapter 36: Green Illusion Dimension (1/2)
It was a green and misty evening, and numerous mountains jutted up from the greenish-black earth.
There were broken stones scattered all around the foot of one particular mountain, within which could be seen the ash-covered skeletons of dead spirit beasts.
They had been low-grade spirit beasts in life, but after years of erosion, their spiritual power had long since been drained away. Therefore, they were no longer useful for equipment forging, and were nothing that would catch the interest of anyone who saw them.
BUZZZ!
All of a sudden, bright light started to shoot out of a smooth stone wall, emanating strong spatial fluctuations.
The stone wall immediately turned into a shiny mirror, within which numerous flickering figures could be seen.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
The figures suddenly flashed out of the stone wall to land moments later at the foot of the mountain.
Participants from the Spiritual Treasure sect stood still, staring at the green dome-like sky above their heads and yelling excitedly.
“The Green Illusion dimension!”
“This is the Green Illusion dimension!”
“We’re finally here!”
Nie Tian stood among them, gazing around curiously to examine the Green Illusion dimension. When no one was paying any attention, he drew upon the Qi Refining Incantation to sense the spiritual Qi of the Heaven and Earth.
Just for a moment, he realized the spiritual Qi here was even weaker than in Black Cloud City, not to mention the rich spiritual Qi in Cloudsoaring Mountain.
“No wonder…” He murmured to himself, finally understanding why the Cloudsoaring sect, Spiritual Treasure sect, Greyvale sect, and Mystic Mist sect hadn’t left people behind to practice cultivation in the Green Illusion dimension after conquering it.
The reason was because the place wasn’t suited for Qi warriors to practice long term cultivation.
Every Qi warrior wanted to cultivate in a place with rich spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. A blessed land with rich and pure energy could enhance a Qi warrior’s cultivation speed to a large extent.
Therefore, due to the faint spiritual energy here, powerful Qi warriors would never select the Green Illusion dimension as a place to cultivate.
What’s more, the high-grade spirit beasts and ferocious tribes that used to live here had already been wiped out by the four sects. All precious spiritual materials had also been mined, leaving behind a location of little value or use.
Hearing the newcomers clamoring on and on, An Ying couldn’t help but shout. “Everyone, be quiet!”
The enthusiastic crowd of young men and women gradually calmed down.
Next, she picked a direction and began to move. “Come with me!”
Zheng Rui and Pan Tao from the Spiritual Treasure sect gave similar orders. “Hurry up, and follow her!”
Before departing, all the teenagers from the clans that clung to the Spiritual Treasure sect had been urged by their clan elders that once they were in the Green Illusion dimension, they must listen to the disciples from the Spiritual Treasure sect.
It was due to this reason that every one of them behaved rather obediently under the domineering demands of An Ying and her two sect brothers.
Stroking the command medallion An Shiyi had given him, Nie Tian looked back at the smooth stone wall for a moment, then followed the group and marched forward silently.
Earlier, when he jumped into the vortex in the lake, he distinctly sensed the unique fluctuations of spiritual power emanating from the command medallion in his hand.
That confirmed to him that only those who carried the command medallion would be able to pass through the lake vortex to enter the Green Illusion dimension.
That command medallion was literally the key to get inside.
In six months, he would have to use the same method to go through the mirror-like Secret Dimension Gate behind him and return to the marshland.
As he followed An Ying and the group further and further away from the Secret Dimension Gate, he couldn’t resist turning his head back and checking a few more times.
Before long, he saw Jiang Lingzhu, Nie Xian, and the others flashing out of the mirror-like stone wall.
After stepping into the Green Illusion dimension, Jiang Lingzhu looked around, and soon caught sight of Nie Tian, a few hundred meters away, walking further away with An Ying.
Nie Tian put on a bright smile, and nodded his head. Then, he turned around and caught up with the Spiritual Treasure sect group.
Jiang Lingzhu stood at the foot of the mountain, watching Nie Tian disappearing off in the distance. She felt a bit confused, and couldn’t help but wonder what Nie Tian was thinking. “He actually started to run faster after seeing me. Could it be that he… doesn’t wish to go with us?”
