Chapter 675: Chapter 675 - 659: Entering the Illusory Realm to Save Uncle_2
"As long as he finds something in this Cultivation Realm to replace everything from his past, he can definitely walk the path of ruthlessness and advance his cultivation!"
"Ah, Mei Ji! All of this is just your wishful thinking. You must understand that the most wondrous and inexplicable thing in this world is ’fate’! Your Junior Brother is unwilling to forget, nor does he wish to. He naturally has his own karmic path. In the future, you must not act so recklessly. Let everything proceed according to Heaven’s will!"
"But Master! Aren’t you worried? If you truly pass away one day, and we in Lingxiao Mountain have no outstanding talents, let alone a Venerable, wouldn’t we be bullied then?" Mei Ji crossed her legs, pouted her little red lips, and even used those soul-stirring, captivating peach-blossom eyes on her Master.
Venerable Cranesong shook his head helplessly, flicked his sleeve, and sent her flying. "Such audacity!"
As his words fell, Mei Ji’s loud curses echoed from the bottom of the cliff, "Cranesong, you old undying bastard! You threw me down the mountain again!"
...
In the Dream Realm space, after Xiaosuisui sent Ji Youyuan out, she chose not to seek her maternal grandfather but decided to withdraw and return to the Array of Heaven.
At this moment, the most pressing issue was the Illusory Realm of her Seventh Uncle, Dahei, and Xiaobai.
I’m just a child, and also a person of great destiny. This Illusion Array couldn’t possibly harm me, right?
But Seventh Uncle was different. He was an ordinary mortal. Although he was a Sixth Realm Martial Artist, he had not reached the level of a Grand Master, nor had he ever practiced Illusion Technique, so he was truly in danger.
Xiaosuisui opened her eyes and looked at Ji Youzhi’s bewildered gaze.
Eldest Uncle said this trial represents Seventh Uncle’s deepest desire, so I can’t forcefully awaken him. Since I can’t force him awake, I must enter his inner world. I need to go in and personally awaken Seventh Uncle, making him realize he’s trapped in an Illusory Realm!
Xiaosuisui pondered for a moment, then took the Soul-Calling Bell from her neck. Even though Ah Ling was in seclusion, Xiaosuisui still knew about the Soul-Calling Bell’s guiding path. Not only did she know, but she could also use it!
The Soul-Calling Bell appeared in Xiaosuisui’s hand, and instantly, a brilliant golden light erupted. The small Soul-Calling Bell rapidly enlarged, its entire form shimmering with golden radiance, directly enveloping Xiaosuisui, Dahei, and Xiaobai.
Xiaosuisui closed her eyes slightly, brought her index and middle fingers together, and gently tapped the point between Ji Youzhi’s eyebrows...
「Flowers bloomed in profusion under the warm spring sun.」
This was a place overflowing with vibrant blossoms.
Seeing such a landscape of green mountains and clear waters, Xiaosuisui couldn’t help but take several deep breaths of the fresh air.
This is Seventh Uncle’s Dream Realm. What is his heart’s desire? Why is it so beautiful here?
Xiaosuisui looked around and spotted three or four children running in the fields. They held paper kites, books, and wooden swords.
Among these children were two boys and two girls. The slightly older ones appeared to be even older than her, looking about seven or eight years old.
Xiaosuisui blinked. Why haven’t I found Seventh Uncle yet? Why are these older brothers and sisters the first people I see?
Xiaosuisui walked up to these older children and waved at them.
"Hello! Excuse me..."
The children ran right past her as if she were invisible.
Xiaosuisui blinked again, rubbing her eyes, and muttered in disbelief, Can’t... they see me?
She followed the children, tracing their steps down towards the foot of the mountain.
A large, green-tiled house with three courtyards stood there. An old man in green robes was sweeping at the Main Gate. The four children ran into the house, and the old man chuckled kindly as he watched them.
"The Young Masters are very happy again today!"
Then he entered the courtyard, preparing to close the Main Gate.
Just as the Main Gate was about to shut, Xiaosuisui slipped inside.
The courtyard wasn’t large, yet it contained everything one would expect: wisteria trellises, grapevines laden with fruit, a water tank with green lotus, and many beautiful flowers and trees.
The front courtyard is already so beautiful; I wonder what the back courtyard is like? Xiaosuisui thought, heading towards the back.
There were no beautiful flowers or grass in the back courtyard. Instead, there was an incredibly large Martial Arts Training Ground, with weapon racks filled with all sorts of armaments.
As Xiaosuisui inspected them one by one, she realized they were all things she liked: mountain-cleaving axes, crescent moon blades, the Thousand Gold Sword, and... Xiaosuisui rubbed her eyes. There was even a bone-carving knife!
A man, appearing to be around forty years old, walked over. Xiaosuisui’s face lit up with joy. I’ve finally found Seventh Uncle!
Ji Youzhi walked onto the Martial Arts Training Ground. He touched the various weapons on the racks one by one, then casually picked up a long spear and began to wield it.
Xiaosuisui watched with wide eyes. Seventh Uncle’s spear technique is so amazing! I’ve never seen him use a spear before! Did he create this himself within this Illusory Realm?
As Xiaosuisui thought this, she subconsciously began to mimic his movements.
When his spear practice ended, Ji Youzhi was drenched in sweat. A woman approached, carrying a basin of water, and called out to him with a warm smile, "My dear husband!"
Xiaosuisui found the woman’s voice strangely familiar. She couldn’t help but look up at the woman, and her expression changed drastically.
Beau... Beautiful Sister! How can it be Beautiful Sister?
Xiaosuisui had mastered the Qi Observation Technique and was at the Mahayana Realm. She could naturally see the marital bond between Beautiful Sister and His Majesty, her adoptive father.
Could it be that my Seventh Uncle is... is what was it again?
She couldn’t find the right words for a moment. She stared intently at the space between Seventh Uncle’s eyebrows but saw no thread of marital fate connecting him and Beautiful Sister.
Confused, she opened her mouth to speak, but then she heard Beautiful Sister say, "Ever since you resigned from your official post and we moved here to live in seclusion with the children, all you do all day is practice martial arts.
"You don’t care about the children’s studies at all, leaving everything to me. Aren’t you afraid I’ll misguide them?"
