Chapter 933: Chapter 502: The Spirit of Alien Illusion
After half a year of construction, the land surrounding the City of Raging Flame was already filled with towering buildings enveloped in a mysterious and splendid aura.
This was the glow of treasures and defensive magic formations.
The entire City of Raging Flame was protected by a massive formation, but many large trading companies and powerful forces have their own defensive formations.
This was not only for safety but also a display of the strength of the shops.
Similar to the Oasis at level eight, the now level nine City of Raging Flame also did not fully utilize the land within the Oasis, leaving vast expanses of land beyond the city walls.
Parts of these lands were used as docking areas for the vehicles of incoming teams.
Some Awakeners also spontaneously formed small trading outposts outside the city.
Within the Oasis, every inch of land was worth its weight in gold, fully alive with the hustle and bustle of humanity.
But just beyond the wall of fog outside the Oasis, it was neither barren nor silent.
A wide, neatly-paved road stretched straight into the depths of the fog.
Row upon row of fog-dispelling streetlamps stood on both sides of the road, diffusing a soft yellowness like guiding lights for those who are lost.
The closer one got to the Oasis, the brighter the lamps shone, and the thinner the fog became.
Passersby Awakeners could clearly see hundreds of meters ahead even without their fog-dispelling lamps.
"But won’t these facilities, situated in the fog, be destroyed by Mysterious Evil?"
The land within the fog could give rise to Mysterious Evil at any time, impossible to guard against.
"Perhaps it is because Awakeners are constantly patrolling the land outside the Oasis... This proves that the power of the City of Raging Flame is indeed formidable. Its reputation as humanity’s number one force might not be an overstatement."
Two figures emerged from the far-off, faint fog.
Like the most ordinary of Awakeners, they did not ride any ornate or mighty carriages but relied on their legs, slowly walking through the perilous Ghastly Realm.
Yet, the two radiated a unique, otherworldly presence that set them apart.
As if they were nobility mingling among commoners;
As if they were beings of myths amid mere mortals;
Yet their presence didn’t draw the curious gaze of anyone, be it the Awakeners or trade caravans passing by, or even the occasional City of Raging Flame patrol team on the side of the road.
It was as if they were ghosts, nonexistent to the world.
One figure appeared middle-aged, his eyes swirling with indescribable vicissitude; the other was a young girl, brimming with the vigour of youth.
But neither of them was human.
They were Illusory Spirits, a mysterious race that almost only existed in legends.
That was indeed correct.
Thousands of years ago, traces of Illusory Spirits could still be found occasionally in the Ghastly Realm, but as of today, the name of Illusory Spirits only remained in ancient texts.
Only a few human powerhouses knew that the legend of the Illusory Spirits still had a surviving lineage.
And it resided within the Spirit Court.
Moreover, they were one of the royal families of the Spirit Court! Legend has it that in ancient times, an Illusory Spirit of great stature, along with a few other elemental entities, founded the transcendent force known as the Spirit Court.
To this day, the overall strength of the Illusory Spirits has far exceeded that of their ancestors.
Especially in terms of the number of powerhouses.
Illusory Spirits reach the Mythic Realm upon reaching adulthood, and with diligent and hard work, advancing to the Demigod Realm is not difficult. Given their ’not small’ number of Demigod Realm individuals, there were far more than just one high-level existence among the Illusory Spirits.
However,
the middle-aged one’s face was shrouded in sorrow.
"Our Illusory Spirit powers are strong, but our people are dwindling by the day. If this continues, we will completely vanish from the annals of history."
The young girl had trouble understanding.
She had only been ’born’ recently and was a very young Illusory Spirit.
But it was different for the middle-aged one; he had lived a very long life, longer than the vast majority in the Demigod Realm. He also witnessed the continual decline of the Illusory Spirit population.
From over one hundred and forty.
To over one hundred and thirty.
Then over one hundred and twenty.
In a few years, maybe the number of Illusory Spirits would be less than a hundred.
This was related to the biological traits of the Illusory Spirits. Though they had gender differences, they could not reproduce through mating.
The birth of an Illusory Spirit either happens naturally, formed by the elemental laws of space, or requires a preceding Illusory Spirit to use the core of their own life essence to cultivate a successor. This method, however, would damage the origin and lifespan of the Illusory Spirit. They typically would only use their essence to cultivate offspring when they were old.
And in a lifetime, they could only cultivate one Illusory Spirit.
That is to say, if the elements cannot produce a new Illusory Spirit, the overall number of the Illusory Spirit race can at best remain constant.
Any accident would lead to a decrease in their population.
"Over these tens of thousands of years, no new kin have been born. However..."
"During the human trials three years ago, a new member of our race emerged, not from within our Spirit Court. She is very young, and perhaps..."
A new life of an Illusory Spirit, a natural birth within the Ghastly Realm.
After years of investigation, they targeted the human force ’Flamefire’.
It was very likely that this young kin was temporarily residing within the Flamefire force.
"Uncle Hongyuan, is our mission this time to retrieve this sister?" the young girl chattered.
The middle-aged man, Hongyuan, nodded, "How could we possibly allow our kin to be stranded outside? Of course, if this young one grew up within human forces, it might not be easy to convince her to return with us to the Spirit Court."
"What should we do then?"
"Your uncle will persuade them."
The middle-aged man paused, "An organization like Flamefire wouldn’t miss a single Mythic Realm powerhouse, even if she’s a special Illusory Spirit. We can negotiate a release through some exchange of benefits."
Illusory Spirits, scarce in numbers, consuming little. Also gifted with the innate talent of Spatial Shuttle, they are able to delve into dangerous and forbidden areas to obtain treasures.
The one thing they lack the least is wealth.
No other race is wealthier than they are!
"If the organization values this young one greatly, then they should understand that only within the Spirit Court can an Illusory Spirit receive proper nurturing, be able to ascend to Demigod, and possibly... glimpse into the legendary higher realms."
Speaking of higher realms brought a trace of sorrow to Hongyuan, a Demigod.
Illusory Spirits are born into Mythic Realm with a native talent even ancient beings would envy, and longer lifespans, but the price they pay... their path to high realms is much more challenging.
The middle-aged man has remained at the peak of the Demigod Realm for over six thousand years.
He had already touched upon many Elemental Laws, including the laws of space.
However, even so, he still couldn’t pinpoint his path to high rank.
He was still a Demigod.
Of course, he was also confident that among demigods, he would be nearly unmatched, not to mention among human demigods.
As the two observed, they walked into the City of Raging Flame.
The city was grand, but to them, it wasn’t much.
The main city of the Element Spirit Court was much more magnificent and suited their aesthetic.
However, the Awakeners coming and going still somewhat surprised Hongyuan, the veteran Demigod.
"It seems that’s a Mythic being."
"That appears to be a Mythic being too."
"But it doesn’t seem like there’s any strong aura."
Mythic beings should be distinguished and extraordinary.
The few Mythic beings he found were just ordinary pedestrians, quite common; he wondered if he had seen it wrong, but Hongyuan the Demigod was very confident in his eyesight and investigative abilities.
Hmm?
He looked into the distance.
A tall woman was approaching from afar.
The woman was the well-known steward Bai Yansi in the City of Raging Flame; the middle-aged Demigod did not recognize her, but his intuition told him she was also a Demigod.
They had only stepped into the Oasis for a short while, and they had been discovered?
Their ethereal spirit bodies, theoretically, shouldn’t be any different from humans, right?
Perhaps, it was just that a high-ranking existence cast their gaze upon them by chance?
"Two guests, our mentor invites you."
...
The two ethereal spirits had initially wanted to visit the powerhouses of the Flamefire organization, but they didn’t expect to meet the helmsman of the organization as soon as they arrived.
Hongyuan the Demigod was somewhat surprised.
Perhaps the purpose of their trip would be easier to achieve than expected?
He then, on behalf of the ethereal spirit lineage of the Element Spirit Court, visited Flamefire.
After a little talk, he carefully proposed that he wanted to meet the ethereal spirit within the Flamefire organization.
As he made this request, Hongyuan the Demigod was nervous.
He considered himself unbeatable within the Demigod Realm, but now he was facing a high-ranked being!
He was just here for an investigation; who would have thought that he would be discovered by a high rank as soon as he arrived?
Mentor Fang You looked curiously at the two in front of him.
This was also his first time seeing a living ethereal spirit other than Xiao Huan.
How rare.
After a brief moment of thought, he said, "Okay."
The mighty Flamefire had no need to conceal Xiao Huan’s identity.
As he finished speaking, golden radiance converged from not far away into a lively and youthful girl dressed in a knee-length skirt and beige short sleeve.
The girl looked at the two in front of her, her eyes also full of curiosity and cheerfulness.
Her age wasn’t much different from the young ethereal spirit girl, only slightly younger, and the two quickly started chatting away.
Discussing some adventure experiences.
Talking about many amusing tales from the Element Spirit Court.
Xiao Huan listened with great interest, then immediately started collecting and organizing the information. It was purely instinctual.
Seeing them chatting happily, Fang You did not linger and left the space for Xiao Huan. He naturally trusted his Xiao Huan.
It was a joyous first encounter with someone of her own kind.
The conversation flew by, and before they knew it, half a day had passed.
They talked merrily.
And there were no high-ranking great figures present.
Hongyuan the Demigod then sideways probed Xiao Huan’s intention.
He thought it was almost certain, but as soon as he spoke, Xiao Huan’s smiling face faded.
"I will always be with Flamefire."
"...Miss Xiao Huan, you should understand that only in the Element Spirit Court can you get the best cultivation and not waste your talent. The heritage held by humans and by the Element Spirit Court is completely different."
Xiao Huan shook her head, her expression growing colder.
She sized up the Demigod before her, "If this is the level of a Demigod from the Element Spirit Court, hmm, then don’t talk so big."
Hongyuan the Demigod: "?"
He was the invincible Demigod, the being that touched upon several Laws with just a Demigod physique!
He wanted to show off a little, to enlighten the junior.
With a thought, the laws of Spatial Shuttle fluttered around him like fireflies, making him more elusive and ethereal.
But the next moment, his eyes widened.
It seemed as if he saw an infinite light, infinite space, infinite doors, spreading incessantly from the junior in front of him.
Those were countless lines.
Lines formed by the intertwining Power of Law.
He looked again at the little specks of light around him, and Hongyuan the Demigod couldn’t help but fall into contemplation.
Something was not right.
Wasn’t she just a young ethereal spirit junior?
Xiao Huan spoke, "I also have a suggestion. Why don’t you stay here and see for yourself what the best cultivation looks like?"
After a pause, she looked at Hongyuan the Demigod with disdain, "You won’t do, you’re too old, let this younger sister stay instead."
Hongyuan the Demigod: "?"
