Chapter 244: Chapter 243 The Damn Illusion Realm

As they moved forward, the number of corpses increased. Among these corpses, most were from Saint Ascension warriors and some from King Profound Realm warriors, and inevitably there were also bodies of Martial Cultivators from the Earth Profound Realm.

Each corpse died in a horrific manner.

Of course, along the way, they encountered constant dangers, but Lin Fan was able to sense these dangers in advance, so eventually both of them managed to turn peril into safety!

Finally, after not knowing how long they had walked, there were no more bodies ahead, and the two of them no longer encountered any dangers.

Liu Rumei couldn’t help but say, "Could it be that we have already passed through the most dangerous place? If that is really the case, perhaps a great opportunity is waiting for us ahead!"

Upon saying this, Liu Rumei turned back to Lin Fan and said, "Lin Fan, if there is a great opportunity, you must try to seize it. This time, if you can continuously progress within the underground palace and elevate your cultivation directly to the Earth Profound Realm, that would be ideal!"

Lin Fan nodded.

At this moment, Lin Fan couldn’t help but wonder, "It seems that Aunt Rumei is taking me through the underground palace just to help me enhance my cultivation. Why is she so good to me?"

Lin Fan felt somewhat puzzled!

However, there was always a sense of unease in Lin Fan’s heart, as if some immense crisis was waiting ahead for the two of them.

"Eh? I didn’t expect that at the end of this passage, there would actually be a grand hall?"

Liu Rumei suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

The two had already reached the end of the passage, and a grand hall appeared before their eyes.

Liu Rumei was the first to rush into the grand hall.

Lin Fan eventually had no choice but to follow her into the hall...

To be honest, if there was a choice, Lin Fan really didn’t want to enter this grand hall because he could sense the danger.

Boom boom boom...

Just as Lin Fan and Liu Rumei both entered the grand hall, a loud noise occurred, and a huge stone door descended at the entrance of the passage, completely sealing it.

The stone was an extremely peculiar Crystal Stone, resistant to blades and swords, meaning that now, it was impossible for Lin Fan and Liu Rumei to retreat the way they had come; their path of retreat had been sealed!

"Damn it!"

Liu Rumei cursed!

However, Liu Rumei only cursed briefly.

The next moment, Liu Rumei was filled with joy, exclaiming, "Lin Fan, this is wonderful, truly a magnificent opportunity! I believe that within this grand hall, as long as you diligently cultivate, your cultivation will definitely reach the Earth Profound Realm. Once your cultivation reaches the Earth Profound Realm, you might be invincible under the King Profound Realm warriors, and even if you enter the Royal Academy, you can still manage to protect yourself!"

At this point, Liu Rumei suddenly seemed to recall something and said, "No, you can only cultivate your cultivation to the peak of the Earth Profound Realm. You mustn’t attain the Earth Profound Realm. I just remembered one of the requirements to enter the Royal Academy is that your cultivation must not reach the Earth Profound Realm. Once your cultivation reaches the Earth Profound Realm, you will lose the qualification to enter the assessment of the Royal Academy!"

"In short, just quickly elevate your cultivation. If your cultivation really is about to break through to the Earth Profound Realm, I will find a way to suppress your cultivation!"

Liu Rumei spoke with great excitement.

Lin Fan looked at Liu Rumei, his eyes flickering slightly.

Feeling Lin Fan’s gaze, Liu Rumei became a bit uncomfortable and awkwardly asked, "Lin Fan, why are you looking at me like that?"

Lin Fan finally asked, "Aunt Rumei, I’m somewhat confused."

Liu Rumei asked, "What are you confused about?"

Lin Fan said, "I really don’t understand why you are so good to me."

"I..."

Liu Rumei hesitated!

At the same time, a very complex expression appeared on Liu Rumei’s face, and after a while, she said softly, "Because I am seeking redemption!"

"Redemption?"

Lin Fan was even more confused.

"Hehe!"

Liu Rumei laughed and then said, "Alright, Lin Fan, don’t ask too much. Some things you don’t need to know right now, because your strength is simply too weak. Once your strength reaches a certain level, what you need to know will naturally be revealed to you!"

"Okay!"

Lin Fan nodded and did not continue to ask any further questions.

Because Lin Fan was well aware that under these circumstances, even if he asked more, Liu Rumei would not tell him.

Liu Rumei then said, "Lin Fan, look, there are Cultivation Techniques, Pills, Spiritual Medicines, Elemental Stones, and various kinds of comprehension paintings all over this grand hall. Your cultivation will definitely improve very quickly here!"

"I will pick a powerful Cultivation Technique for you to train with right now. There are so many Cultivation Techniques here; there might even be Saint Ascension level Cultivation Techniques among them!"

Liu Rumei’s tone seemed somewhat excited.

Saint Ascension level Cultivation Technique, even she herself had never practiced one.

Then, Liu Rumei rushed towards the area where the Cultivation Technique Jade Scrolls were placed, planning to select a suitable technique for Lin Fan.

As Liu Rumei rushed towards the area with the Cultivation Technique Jade Scrolls, Lin Fan’s heart suddenly became very uneasy.

"Aunt Rumei, no, stop!"

Lin Fan shouted loudly.

However...

It was a step too late; Liu Rumei’s hand had already reached out to grab a Jade Scroll and quickly secured it in her hand.

"Hum..."

At this instant, a huge surge of energy abruptly acted upon Liu Rumei, and a massive Void Gate appeared in the void. Liu Rumei was pulled into the Void Gate by a mysterious energy and vanished in a blink.

This all happened too fast, Lin Fan couldn’t react at all.

In fact, it wasn’t just Lin Fan, even Liu Rumei herself couldn’t react before she was pulled into the Void Gate.

After Liu Rumei was pulled into the Void Gate, it quickly closed and everything around returned to normal; even the Cultivation Techniques and Pills were all there, as if nothing had happened.

"This..."

Faced with this situation, Lin Fan was completely dumbfounded!

Because Lin Fan himself didn’t know what exactly had happened.

"Damn it!"

Lin Fan cursed internally.

Then, Lin Fan mobilized all his willpower to examine the surroundings.

"Turns out, these so-called Cultivation Techniques and Pill cultivation resources are nothing but an illusion. The existence of this illusion is just to mask the underlying crisis! It’s just that this illusion is a bit too realistic. I didn’t notice earlier and didn’t realize it was only an illusion!"

It was fortunate that Lin Fan had cultivated his willpower!

If it had been anyone else here, they wouldn’t have been able to detect the illusion.

"To rescue Aunt Rumei, I must break this illusion first!"

Lin Fan began to ponder in his heart.

But Lin Fan was also somewhat frustrated, as breaking this illusion seemed extremely difficult.

"Not good!"

Then, in an instant, Lin Fan suddenly felt a very dangerous aura locking onto him through the Universal Image.

"Dodge!"

Without any hesitation, Lin Fan quickly dodged.

Whoosh!

Just as Lin Fan dodged, a huge longsword seemed to tear through the void in front, and chopped down at the very spot where Lin Fan had just been.

It was fortunate that Lin Fan dodged quickly; otherwise, the sword just now would have been enough to cut him in half at the waist.

Lin Fan dared not be careless any longer!

"Kid, your sensing power is pretty strong!" a voice appeared from within the void.

Upon hearing this voice, Lin Fan couldn’t help but be bewildered, as the voice sounded too similar to his own.

Lin Fan felt a surge of fear in his heart and asked, "Who are you? Come out!"

"Ha ha!"

The voice in the void spoke aloud again: "You don’t need to shout and scream. Even if you don’t call me, I would naturally come out because I need to seize your body for my rebirth!"

As the voice fell, a shadow casually walked out.

"You..."

Seeing this shadow, Lin Fan was utterly shocked.

Because the shadow that appeared was himself?

It was just that this shadow seemed a bit ethereal and unreal.

"Who exactly are you?" Lin Fan asked in surprise.

The shadow replied: "You don’t have to be so surprised; I am your shadow, heh heh. Soon, after I seize your body, I will be you, and you will be me. There will be no distinction between us anymore, ha ha!"

Lin Fan didn’t speak, just kept meticulously examining this shadow in front of him.

"Eh?"

Suddenly, a thought struck Lin Fan’s heart: "So, this guy is indeed my shadow, but this shadow is entirely condensed from willpower?"

"This may be an opportunity for me!"

Lin Fan couldn’t help but feel some anticipation.

The shadow opposite wanted to seize Lin Fan’s body.

But...

Lin Fan also wanted to refine the shadow.

Because Lin Fan had a feeling that if he refines the shadow, his own Will Realm might be able to advance.

Keep in mind, since the last time Lin Fan had comprehended the Will Painting, his Will Realm had not advanced at all, always remaining at the Mortal Fifth Layer. If his Will Realm could advance once more, undoubtedly, his proficiency in Arrays and his combat power would become significantly stronger.

"Alright, I don’t want to waste words with you anymore, just wait to be seized by me!"

After a shout from the shadow, its Will Longsword directly slashed towards Lin Fan.

Whoosh!

In an instant, a sword slashed right in front of Lin Fan.
