Chapter 1157 - 1157: The Mirage
“Thank you, granny!” After Xia Pingan thanked her, he held the embroidery needle that the old woman had given him and walked along the stream towards the bamboo forest. As he walked, he examined the embroidery needle in his hand. This embroidery needle looked no different from an ordinary embroidery needle. It was ordinary, but Xia Pingan knew that it was definitely not an ordinary embroidery needle because the weight of this embroidery needle in his hand was at least ten thousand pounds.
What surprised Xia Ping ‘an the most was that he could feel a trace of divine artifact aura from the Embroidery Needle. This made Xia Ping’ an’s heart beat faster. If it was a divine artifact, then he would be rich.
However…What was the use of this Embroidery Needle?
Xia Ping ‘an tried to control the Embroidery Needle using the method of controlling a divine weapon, but he found that the Embroidery Needle did not react at all. This made Xia Ping’ an scratch his head. In the end, he simply threw the Embroidery Needle into the warehouse of the secret mandala and put it away. He would slowly study it when he had time.
After walking 360 steps along the stream and arriving at the bamboo forest, Xia Pingan indeed saw a green bamboo door standing by the stream. The fog inside the bamboo door rolled and swirled, and there was a faint light flashing inside. It should lead to other places. Xia Pingan did not stand on ceremony and walked to the side of the bamboo door, stepping in.
What was this place?
Looking at the space in front of him, Pingan frowned slightly. At this moment, he was floating in the void, and no one knew where he was.
It was a vast expanse of whiteness. There was no sky, no land, only thick fog. The fog was somewhat cold and carried a trace of inexplicable malevolence, making Xia Pingan wary. Xia Pingan waved his hand, and the fog in the surrounding space was swept away as if it was a strong wind. However, in the blink of an eye, it was filled with new fog. He wanted to summon the Black Tortoise out, but he realized that he could not use summoning techniques in this white space.
Xia Pingan formed a hand seal and closed his eyes to sense. He realized that this space was not an array formation, and there was no aura of an array formation.
“Interesting. What is this scene trying to test?”Xia Pingan muttered to himself. He looked around and then flew forward, wanting to see how big the space was.
It was just that flying in such a place, the surroundings were filled with white fog, and there was no coordinates or reference. Wherever they flew, it felt the same. It really made people go crazy. The scene in front of him reminded Xia Pingan of the old place of the Heavenly King Sect that he had visited a long time ago-the Sea of Fog Mirage.
Xia Pingan flew in the same direction for more than half an hour, but he didn’t see anything. It was as if he was still in the same place.
Suddenly, the fog in front of them started to churn. A figure emerged from the fog. It was Mi Luo. When Mi Luo saw Xia Pingan, her eyes lit up.” Ah, you’re here too!””,Then, it quickly flew toward Xia Pingan.
“Miluo, you’re here too?”
“Yes, I just passed a checkpoint in front of the passage and came here!”
The two of them quickly approached each other. However, just as Mi Luo was about to reach Xia Pingan, Xia Pingan’s eyes turned cold. He suddenly threw a punch at Mi Luo’s head. A terrifying fist force instantly exploded from Xia Pingan’s hand. The air shook, and the fog rolled. The fog within tens of thousands of meters was swept away by Xia Pingan’s punch.
“Boom…”
Mi Luo’s shocked expression was still on her face when Xia Pingan’s fist exploded her head. Her entire body was also shattered by Xia Pingan’s fist force. However, there was no flesh or blood. She only turned into a cloud of mist and exploded, blending into the surrounding mist as if she had never been there.
Xia Pingan’s eyes flashed with divine light as he scanned his surroundings. The corners of his mouth even carried a hint of disdain.” Don’t be so sneaky. Is this all you have? You’ve really disappointed me!””
“Keke…”” What a joke!” A strange and hoarse laughter echoed in the fog, with a hint of mischief.” You actually found out that I’m a fake. Good eyesight. You’re really an interesting man. Can you tell me what’s wrong with the woman I pretended to be? You actually saw through it with a glance?””
Xia Pingan’s eyes moved.” What benefits do I get from telling you?”
“How about this, each of us can ask the other a question. I can answer your question first, and you can answer mine.”
“Alright, who’s your underling?” Xia Pingan asked.
” I am the master of the Mirage God’s illusion. Everyone who enters the Mirage God’s illusion is my pet. It has been tens of thousands of years since a pet entered the Mirage God’s illusion. Don’t worry, I will take good care of you…” The voice laughed maliciously again and continued to ask,” Alright, now it’s your turn to tell me what’s wrong with the woman I just pretended to be!” “There’s no problem with your appearance!”
“Then how do you know I’m a fake?”
“This is the second question!” Xia Pingan’s gaze shifted.
“Alright, you can ask another question!”
“How are you treating your pet? Are you going to kill me?”
“No, no, why would 1 kill you? Since you’re my pet, 1 just want you to play with me in this Mirage God’s Illusory Realm for tens of thousands of years.”That voice sighed faintly,” I’m all here, time is too long, I’ve forgotten that there is still time. The greatest torture in the world is actually loneliness!”
“I see. Everyone who came here is equivalent to entering a cage. If you want to leave, you have to break the shackles of this cage!”
“Hehe, you can’t break it. Now it’s your turn to answer my question!”
Xia Pingan smiled and said calmly,” As for why 1 know that you are pretending to be Mi Luo, the reason is simple. Before we came to the Flood Dragon God Cave, we had already considered all kinds of situations and agreed on a secret language to meet again after we parted ways. This was to prevent anyone from impersonating us. For Revered Gods like us, it’s easy to change our faces!”
“I see. You humans are really cunning!”
“Since you didn’t want to kill me, I’ll spare your life. I don’t have time to waste here with you. If you let me leave, I won’t touch you!”
“Caw caw!” That voice started to laugh wildly as if he had heard something funny.” You want to touch me? Do you know how to do that? I’m the God here. I’m the only one who can touch others. Nobody else can touch me. Human beings ‘magic skills are very interesting. If you perform some interesting magic skills to make me happy, I might let you stay here for a few years!””
“Is that so? Unfortunately, you’re not a god. You’re just a Mirage Beast that can’t become a god!”
“All, how do you know I’m a Mirage Beast?”The voice was a bit surprised. However, as soon as it finished speaking, it seemed to realize that it had let the cat out of the bag. It immediately shut its mouth and sneered,” So what if you know? Since you’ve already entered my illusion, 1’11 be in charge of everything here!”
“In your illusion, ordinary people indeed can’t hurt you. However, you forgot that there are always exceptions!”
“I don’t believe you can do anything to me!”
“You really won’t shed tears until you see the coffin!”Xia Ping ‘an said and was too lazy to say anything else. In the next second, he formed a hand seal and began to refine his Ming King Seamless Divine Body. His entire body was like a black hole, and he began to crazily devour and absorb the surrounding fog. Because Xia Ping’ an was absorbing the fog too quickly, in just a moment, the thick fog in this space gradually formed a huge cyclone around Xia Ping ‘an’s body.
In the beginning, the voice of the Mirage God didn’t seem to care. However, after a while, the voice started to panic and even screamed,” Ah, stop, stop, what kind of cultivation technique is this? It can actually refine and devour my Mirage Qi. Stop, stop quickly. All, I beg you, I’ll let you out. Don’t devour me…”
Towards the end, the voice became extremely terrified. Then, a spatial door appeared beside Xia Pingan.
“Others might not know that this Mirage Qi is actually your body in your illusion. Are you asking me to leave now? 1 don’t want to leave. Once I refine you, I will leave this place as easily as flipping my hand…”
“Despicable human…You… You… I… I’m going to kill you…
Roar…” The voice suddenly became flustered and exasperated as it roared. Then, in the sky beside Xia Pingan, countless clouds of fog condensed and transformed into a huge god that was ten thousand meters tall. The god’s eyes widened in anger as he roared and punched towards Xia Pingan’s head. His fist was like a huge mountain smashing down.
Xia Ping ‘an smiled disdainfully and punched out. The huge Heavenly God’s body instantly shattered into mist.” Level 8 Supreme God Realm? No wonder he couldn’t become a god. He’s nothing!””
Xia Pingan increased his absorption rate, and the area of the cyclone surrounding him doubled in size.
In the next second, tens of thousands of arrows, swords, and sabers shot towards Xia Pingan at a terrifying speed. Xia Pingan ignored them and closed his eyes, allowing the swords and arrows to land on his body. However, they were unable to hurt him at all.
Then, the sky turned black and countless purple lightning bolts fell onto Xia Pingan’s body. Xia Pingan still closed his eyes and endured it calmly, not caring at all.
The gigantic god appeared once again, slashing down at Xia Pingan’s head with his flaming sword. Xia Pingan’s eyes were still closed, and he did not move at all. When the god’s sword struck his body, it shattered, but not a single hair fell off Xia Pingan’s body. The terror of the Ming King’s Seamless Divine Body was fully displayed.
In this illusion, all sorts of attacks appeared one after another, bombarding Xia Ping ‘an’s body. However, Xia Ping’ an’s eyes remained closed the entire time, devouring the mirage energy. He did not even open his eyes again.
The voice gradually turned from anger and fear to wailing and begging for mercy…
