Chapter 322: Illusion Test
Qin Xuan heard the voice, his eyes suddenly fixed, waiting for him at the top of the sacred mountain?
After hesitating for a moment, Qin Xuan's face suddenly became natural. He was sure that the people in the voice had no ill will towards him, otherwise, with her strength, it would be too easy to do something to him. The reason why she asked him to go to the top of the sacred mountain to find her might be a test set by her.
After thinking this through, Qin Xuan did not hesitate any more, took a step, and walked towards the depths of the sacred mountain.
Seeing the omnipresent light pouring towards Qin Xuan, he suddenly felt extremely relaxed, as if there was a magical energy flowing through his limbs, nourishing his blood and condensing his bones. This feeling of pleasure made Qin Xuan feel relaxed and happy, and even wanted to roar to the sky.
As the light continued to enter his body, Qin Xuan felt that his soul was much stronger than before. It was a pity that his physical body did not come here, otherwise it could be greatly improved, and it would not be impossible to break through to the realm of physical king.
"Could it be that this is really the legendary holy light?" A hint of doubt flashed across Qin Xuan's eyes.
He had seen the holy light in the vacuum world, but because he had been fighting and had not calmed down to absorb it, he could not confirm whether the two lights were the same, but he had a vague feeling that even if the holy light in the sacred mountain was not holy light, it had a similar effect to the holy light, and could also transform the physique and reshape the blood.
Not long after, Qin Xuan really came to the foot of the sacred mountain and stared at the sacred mountain full of fairy light from a close distance. Above the sacred mountain, in the white clouds, there were five-colored rays of light blooming, faintly outlining an illusory bridge, spanning between heaven and earth, looming.
Looking up again, the towering height of the sacred mountain was reflected in Qin Xuan's pupils. It was originally suspended in the clouds, but it was so tall that it seemed to touch the sky. Behind the sacred mountain, there seemed to be an illusory palace covered, shining with precious light, majestic and glorious, which made people fascinated and wanted to go in for a tour.
"What a great sacred mountain, it's really unique!" Qin Xuan praised again in his heart. This sacred mountain alone is so much more magnificent than Piaoxue City. It's like a fairyland, without any vulgarity of the mortal world.
Not far from Qin Xuan, there is a huge lake. The lake is as smooth as a mirror, and the waves are calm. At a glance, you can't see the edge, as if the sacred mountain is divided into two areas, inside and outside. If you want to enter the sacred mountain, you must cross this lake first.
Looking at this extremely wide lake, Qin Xuan frowned slightly. This lake is so wide, but he is just a mere soul body. How can he cross this lake?
After thinking for a long time, Qin Xuan still didn't come up with an answer. He didn't wait any longer, but walked directly towards the lake, his eyes looked very calm.
Qin Xuan came to the edge of the lake, paused, and then stepped out with his right foot. A sense of coldness instantly came into his mind. The coldness was extremely terrible, and even Qin Xuan couldn't help shivering, but he didn't retreat. His right foot continued to step in and walk in the lake.
In this way, Qin Xuan walked in the lake, the breeze blew across the lake, the lake water gently slapped his body, bringing a hint of coldness, but his expression was as calm as before, and his eyes were filled with firm belief.
Gradually, the lake water submerged his knees, then his chest, neck, and finally his entire body was submerged by the lake water. No human figure could be seen on the lake surface, as if he had disappeared out of thin air.
When Qin Xuan was submerged, his eyes suddenly went black, as if darkness had descended, and the surrounding lake water seemed to have disappeared. There was no longer a sense of squeezing, and there was no sense of coldness. In that brief moment, everything changed.
A few seconds later, Qin Xuan vaguely felt a ray of light coming, and slowly opened his eyes. The scene in front of him made him startled. The endless lake surface disappeared, replaced by a winding stream, with gurgling water flowing through, playing a crisp movement.
"I came here?" Qin Xuan was a little confused. He turned around and saw the scene behind him. His expression froze.
The broad lake appeared in his sight again. It was still vast and boundless. It seemed to have always been there and never disappeared. Qin Xuan felt that everything just now was magical. It was as if he had experienced a dark night and woke up to fly across the lake. It was incredible.
"I wonder what will appear in front of me." Qin Xuan whispered in his heart.
Then he walked leisurely. The stream made a gurgling sound, which was crisp and pleasant. It inadvertently brought people into a wonderful artistic conception. He felt that his mind was much more open, and even his understanding was slightly improved. Qin Xuan's previous difficulties in practice were now understood.
Not long after, Qin Xuan came to an open area. An ordinary small house appeared in his sight, which immediately attracted his attention.
The small house was very ordinary, but there were several towering sycamore trees around, with roots deeply inserted into the ground. There was a faint light flowing on the tree trunk, which seemed to contain great energy. The sycamore leaves were close together, and the sun's rays fell from the gaps, reflecting a halo, which was extremely beautiful.
"What a beautiful scene." Qin Xuan's eyes flashed with surprise, as if he thought of something, and he couldn't help but sighed. If the Soul-Destroying Sword was here, it would be great, so that Ruoxi could also see such a peerless beauty.
Qin Xuan did not enter the small house. This was the Divine Mountain. Everything here belonged to the owner of the Divine Mountain. He could not enter without her permission, so he just stayed outside for a moment and then left.
The deeper he went, the more shocked Qin Xuan was. He was more amazed at the beauty of the sacred mountain. Every blade of grass and every tree here seemed to have spirituality and had a vitality that was beyond imagination.
The sacred mountain seemed to be in a different plane from the Jiuxuan Continent where he was before. The spiritual energy here was too majestic, which gave birth to such trees. If it were in the Jiuxuan Continent, it would be difficult to see such trees. Of course, it is not ruled out that there are many magical places in the Jiuxuan Continent, similar to the sacred mountain.
Going further, Qin Xuan saw a cliff thousands of feet high.
The reason why it is called a cliff is that the cliff is not continuous, but broken, as if it was cut in half by a peerless sword. Looking from a distance, it seems that you can feel the magnificent scene at that time, which makes people feel quite uneasy.
In the empty space in the middle, it seemed as if there was an endless sea suspended there, looming. Above the sea, a huge sun was hanging high, releasing an extremely strong light, which was reflected by the rosy clouds in the sky, making the whole world much brighter.
And where the sea and the sky met, the sea breeze roared, rolling up a raging storm. A big bird flapped its wings as hard as it could, flying straight into the sky, crying loudly, resounding through the clouds, wanting to go to the place where the rosy clouds bloomed. Even if the storm was terrifying, it could not stop its ambition to soar to the sky.
"The setting sun and the solitary wild goose fly together, and the autumn water and the sky are the same color." Qin Xuan was moved by the scene, and suddenly uttered a voice from his mouth. This scene was probably rare in the world.
Suddenly, the rosy clouds on the sky fell down and turned into a long five-colored staircase, leading from the top of the sky to Qin Xuan's feet, hinting at something.
"Could it be that the senior is worried that I can't reach the top of the sacred mountain, so he lowered the stairs and let me go directly up?" Qin Xuan's eyes showed doubts, and suddenly thought of a possibility.
"The top of the sacred mountain is above the sky. You can only see me after you climb this ladder." A vague voice came from nowhere.
Qin Xuan nodded slightly, without any hesitation. Since the senior said so, he could only do it.
However, when he stepped on the five-color stairs, his heart suddenly trembled, and everything in front of him changed instantly. The cliff disappeared, the sea sun disappeared, and the big bird disappeared. All he saw were strangely shaped stones and empty grasslands, nothing else.
He walked towards a boulder. Just as he was about to approach the boulder, the boulder suddenly disappeared and appeared in another place, while other scenery did not change at all, which made Qin Xuan have an illusion that he had seen it wrong.
Although martial artists have amazing eyesight, it is difficult to rule out fatigue, so Qin Xuan did not care too much and just thought he had seen it wrong.
Then, he walked towards another boulder, but the result was exactly the same as before. The boulder also suddenly disappeared. Qin Xuan immediately realized that something was wrong. Things were not as simple as they seemed on the surface. There must be a mystery hidden in it.
"It's an illusion." Qin Xuan's eyes flashed with a sharp color.
After just a few seconds of thinking, he understood what happened. He entered the illusion. It seemed that the scene had changed, but in fact he should still be on the stairs. Then, he just needed to keep going and stick to his heart, and he could reach the top of the sacred mountain.
Qin Xuan himself had realized the realm of illusion, and he had practiced in the ancient cave for a long time. Among them, there was a terrifying demon who was good at illusion. He had taken him into the illusion, which was extremely terrifying. If the demon had not released him, he would have been trapped in it forever and could not get out.
Knowing that this was an illusion, Qin Xuan would naturally not be easily confused. He slowly closed his eyes and moved forward step by step with his own intuition.
Suddenly, scenes appeared in his mind, with naked beauties dancing, smiling like flowers, singing and dancing, presenting a joyful scene, which made people's blood boil and couldn't help themselves.
"Illusion within illusion, what a terrible illusion!" Qin Xuan was shocked, but he still closed his eyes and imagined a figure in his mind, which turned out to be himself!
Qin Xuan in the double illusion suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes became extremely terrifying, and his pupils shone with purple-gold light, which was extremely bright and penetrated everything. Wherever the light went, the women screamed, their figures dissipated, and the illusion broke.
At the same time, Qin Xuan in the illusion also opened his eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. In any case, he had passed the test of the illusion, but he didn't know what test the owner of this sacred mountain had prepared for him next.
