You don't have to look back to know that the person speaking is Qingming. When you look back, she looks pretty, cunning and cute, so who is it if it's not Qingming?

Wei Shiqi asked: "What's going on? Where is this?"

"The vitality fills the body, the soul is separated from the body, the body remains in the stone chamber, and the soul comes to the field of illusion." Qingming stretched out his hand and broke off a piece of thatch. The stem slipped through his fingers, intact, and he pointed to the horizon. Gaota said, "Everything you see is not real."

"That tower is—"

"Haha, you didn't expect it, that is the Demon Suppression Tower."

The nine-story and eight-sided stone tower on the top of Guanri Cliff is the Demon Suppression Tower. The tall tower standing at the end of the sky in the Field of Illusion is also the Demon Suppression Tower. The Demon Suppression Tower is like a bridge, connecting the two worlds of reality and illusion. Wei Shiqi vaguely guessed something, murmured something in a low voice, and listened to Qingming continue.

"This is a false world. It doesn't matter if you don't eat, drink or sleep. You can do whatever you want, but there are two small taboos. Remember to remember -" Qingming raised a finger and warned him with a smile, "Here It is not without danger. If you encounter an enemy, you must take the best policy to save your life. No matter how injured you are, as long as you are still alive and lie still for a while, you will naturally recover slowly. But if you die, you are really dead. In the stone chambers of Qingming Pavilion, there are many bodies that have lost their souls over the past tens of thousands of years."

Qingming raised a second finger, "Cultivating in the Wilderness of Illusion can get twice the result with half the effort and has many benefits. Your cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds and you won't encounter bottlenecks. However, no matter how hard you practice, whether it's sword skills, or whether you have magical powers, everything can't be done. When you are taken out of this world, you have to start over again after you return. At best, you just have a personal experience that points the way."

Wei Shiqi nodded, "This is already very rare." The most fearful thing about cultivation is groping in the dark, making one wrong step, and everything will be in vain. Cultivating in the wilderness of illusion, you can try boldly without worrying about making mistakes. How reversible is this? The chance of heaven is simply cheating.

"Having said that, it's better to be careful. If you accidentally go crazy and bury your life here, you will never be able to go back." Qingming reminded him, for fear that he would be too trusting and harm himself. , the core disciple of the Sword Control Sect who has practiced Qing Ming Jue for generations, is not without such lessons.

"Thank you, I know it well. But how can I get out of this place?"

Qingming said flatly: "It's easy to get in, but it's hard to get out. When you can fly under the Demon Suppression Tower, you will naturally understand!"

The first time you enter the field of illusion, you will probably be confused for a while, restless, and ask a lot of questions that you think are important but actually don't know the so-called questions. But for Wei Shiqi, everything in front of him seems familiar, and the vitality submerges the physical body, just like lcl is filled with the insertion plug, and the soul comes to the field of illusion, just like consciousness enters the "matrix", experience is wisdom, and there is nothing new under the sun.

"Don't you have anything else to ask?" Wei Shiqi's calmness and calmness confused Qingming.

"Uh..." Wei Shiqi thought for a while and asked, "When you subdued Guo Kui at Jie Tianling, you persuaded him that Ruan Qing, the Sky Fox, was living well in the tower, and he was actually living quite well these years. , Could it be that Ruan Qing’s soul was separated from his body and trapped in this wilderness of illusion, unable to escape?”

Qingming laughed, and his face became very strange, "This... don't worry about it..."

Wei Shiqi changed the question, "I heard that the leader is in retreat and cannot be disturbed until the critical moment of Kunlun's life and death. Could it be that he is also in the Wilderness of Illusion? Elder Ruan Jing is in retreat to heal his wounds in the Demon Suppression Tower. Could it be that she is also in retreat? it's here?"

Qingming hesitated and couldn't speak. He was so depressed that he stamped his feet and said: "Oh no, I was in a hurry and forgot something important. You can practice here and I will come see you in a few days..." ..." Before he finished speaking, he turned into a clear light, disappeared in an instant, and flew through the air.

Between heaven and earth, he was the only one left.

Although Qingming did not answer directly, he actually told him the answer. Guo Kui is here, Ruan Qing is here, Taoist Ziyang is here, and Ruan Jing is here. In this boundless wilderness of illusion, there are countless people he knows or does not know, and they are all here.

He once again set his sights on the Demon Suppressing Tower between heaven and earth. Qingming said, "It's easy to get in, but hard to get out. When you can fly under the Demon Suppressing Tower, you will naturally understand!" The moment he flew away through the air. , touched Wei Shiqi's mind, and he had a bold idea that needed to be verified carefully.

Wei Shiqi raised the Hidden Snow Sword again and flew toward the Demon Suppression Tower like lightning, turning into a blue light across the sky. Regardless of the loss of his true energy, he tried his best to activate the flying sword. The wind came in his face, violent and as sharp as a sword. When the flying speed of the sword almost reached the limit, the scenery in front of him shook. The world was in chaos, and only the demon suppressing force was there. The tower stood still as before and gradually grew larger in the field of vision. Wei Shiqi felt relieved and knew that he had made the right bet.

The true energy in his body was exhausted. He lowered the flying sword and sat quietly for a moment. As expected, as Qingming said, there was no need to adjust his breath and meditate, no need to take pills, no need to swallow monster flesh and blood, and his energy returned to the original state without any change of time.

He continued to fly with his sword, confirming his guess. After repeated attempts, he figured out the key. To break the illusion and approach the Demon Suppression Tower step by step, the key lies in speed. If the speed is not fast enough, no matter how hard he tries, he will only be trapped in the original place. Damn it, wasting real energy in vain.

In other words, leaving the field of illusion also depends on speed. As long as he is fast enough, he can break the void and return the soul to the body.

Wei Shiqi lay on his back in the grass, looking at the flowing clouds in the sky, and took a long breath. Some of the broken scenes in his memory overlapped with everything in front of him. Once upon a time, he was lying on the soft grass, squinting his eyes and staring at the dazzling sky in a daze. His son was running and playing beside him, shouting. The yellow-faced woman at home was like a hen protecting her calf, worried that her son would accidentally fall into the trap. Dropped head.

Where is that? Some park? Or the wilderness in the countryside? Their faces have become very blurry, with no unforgettable memories or heart-wrenching thoughts. When they think of them occasionally, there is only some faint concern and nostalgia left. His past life, everything he owned or discarded, disappeared like a dream, and life started again in another place. It always felt like something was missing. Maybe he planned more carefully and made fewer mistakes, but at the same time he was more sophisticated. Invest less in emotions, and with this mentality, step by step from utilitarianism to coolness, and from coolness to coldness, is it luck or misfortune?

"Maybe it would be good to stay in this place forever, without having to make choices, without having to bear the consequences, being alone and enjoying myself..." He smiled and thought, "Isn't this the life I once dreamed of?"
