147 Oh No, the Sects Immortal Treasure Will Finish! (2/2)

Elder Liu Xian, who led them, however, didn’t angry, instead, he responded with a laugh. ”This is indeed just a playground for the disciples. The real place for experiential learning is of course in the world of mortals.”

Hearing this, Yuan Chaonian thought otherwise, ”World of mortals? This is an obsolete concept from thousands of years ago; it has no efficiency and no guarantee of success. The world of mortals is boundless; if you just let the disciples loose there, expecting them to gain as much as they could in a short amount of time, it is tantamount to looking for the needle in a haystack. The disciples certainly have to go through something that could greatly influence them in order for them to grow, but not by being mediocre in the world of mortals.”

Elder Liu Xian also recognized this. ”Unfortunately, not many major events can happen at any time; it can only be discovered but not sought.”

Yuan Chaonian said, ”That’s not necessarily.”

”Does Elder Yuan know something?”

Yuan Chaonian smiled, thinking, ”I’m waiting for you to ask this question.”

——

A moment later, on top of the Cloud Wave Boat, the Gate of All Living Things was present.

”This is the thing where our Ten Thousand Arts Sect disciples take their experiential learning.” Yuan Chaonian stood before a magnificent stone door and explained its use for Liu Xian, Fang He, and other Spirit Sword Sect Elders, as well as the several accompanying Spirit Sword Sect disciples.

”The Gate of All Living Things. The place behind this door looks exactly like the world of the living. Of course, essentially, this is a refined, complex, and enormous-illusion making treasure. All kinds of form of human world in this thing is indistinguishable from the real thing.”

Within the Spirit Sword Sect, the one with the most brilliant illusion technique was Elder Hua Yun. Upon hearing Yuan Chaonian explaining the door’s magical effect, she couldn’t help but become surprised. ”Immortal Treasure?”

”Yes, this is an Immortal Treasure.” Yuan Chaonian slightly nodded proudly. Although his Unity Stage Sect Leader Senior Brother was the one in charge of refining this treasure as well as the master refiner in their sect, he, as one of the personnel who created this, could also claim credit for its creation! And this Gate of All Living Things was undoubtedly one of the masterpieces of his life!

”As long as there’s this Gate of All Living Things, it’s very easy to let the disciples experience a variety of valuable events, whether it’s a natural or man-made disaster, or indulging in the life of luxury. Compared to senselessly sending disciples down the mountain for experiential learning, this door is several times, no, dozens of times more efficient. Currently, it hasn’t yet proliferated in our Ten Thousand Arts Sect, but its wonderful prospect can already be seen.”

Hearing this, Hua Yun just nodded lightly, obviously, her mind was already on this Gate of All Living Things as well as its variety of derivative uses. As for the other Spirit Sword Sect Elders, they apparently didn’t have any interest in this thing.

This slightly upset Yuan Chaonian, he thought, ”No matter what, this is an Immortal Treasure, although your Spirit Sword Sect certainly has… after all, this is an Immortal Treasure. Moreover, it’s different from those Immortal Sword or Seal that can only be used to fight and kill. This treasure can be used to train the disciples. In the whole Nine Regions, the significance of a treasure that can cultivate talented disciple can’t be overstated; can’t you guys give a little bit of reaction to this?”

As soon as he thought that, the reaction that he sought for finally came.

”Isn’t that just a toy?”

Upon hearing this, the dignified Deity Stage Elder Yuan Chaonian nearly passed out, especially since the one who said that was just a Qi Cultivating Stage disciple!

However, when he looked closely, the person who said that was Wang Lu, who was in the limelight yesterday. If it were any other disciple, he could just dismiss their opinion as ignorant. However, although this Wang Lu was just a disciple, his way of handling things was actually inscrutable, which meant that he was someone that absolutely couldn’t be underestimated.

However, the anger in his heart was difficult to contain. With a rather annoyed tone of voice, Yuan Chaonian asked, ”Why do you say it’s just a toy?”

Being under the angry glare of a Deity Stage cultivator, Wang Lu decidedly ignored it and instead smiled. ”False is false. Illusion could never be compared to reality. Although you can simulate the five senses and everything, you can’t simulate the cause and effect of the world, and even can’t simulate the vastness of the world...Therefore, it’s just a top simulation game.”

Yuan Chaonian’s complexion turned gloomy. Inwardly, he was burning with anger, however, it was not because the opposite party had said something disrespectful, but because the other side had laid bare the only shortcoming of the Gate of All Living Things.

In terms of how real the illusion was, it was actually indistinguishable with the real thing. The Gate of All Living Things could create everything, but it couldn’t create the world’s cause and effect. The Gate of All Living Things was just an illusion infinitely closer to the real thing, yet it could never achieve the genuine real thing. There would always be a genuine difference between experiential learning in the real world and in the illusion world, but he has always insisted that this difference paled in comparison to the several folds of increased efficiency.

”Tsk, tsk, you don’t believe it?” Wang Lu laughed. ”Then that’s easy, let’s try it. As a professional adventurer, I will show you the real difference between the game and reality. No need for the electric shock to see the result [1]!”

Before the smiling eager-to-try face of Wang Lu, Yuan Chaonian, who had his full confidence in this Gate of All Living Things, unexpectedly felt a flutter deep within his heart as ominous premonition clouded over it.
