any living beings to be seen.Those who fled, fled; those who died, died; those who surrendered, surrendered. Thus, Nanshan Prefecture became a silent wasteland.And after a year, the Nanshan Prefectur...As Gingercloud's voice faded, a murky yellow vein of the Yellow Spring suddenly surged across his brow.

This stretch of the underworld path is precisely the length it takes to encircle the area where the arms of the previous guardian figure were clasped together. In other words, it still encompasses both Jiang Yun and Feng Bei Ling.

The Netherworld suddenly swirled once, then saw the phantom power that had just poured into this area, immediately flowing back outside the area!

In an instant, this area lost its illusionary power once more. As a result, both Jiang Yun and Feng Beiling's figures became illusory again.

"Bang bang bang!"

Meanwhile, the guardian's ever-spreading arms tore at the surrounding web of rules with even greater ferocity.

At this moment, ginger clouds' eyes sparkled with brilliance.

Because he could already feel it, he was about to leave the dream world.

And he shouted loudly, "Wind elder brother, it's almost done!"

Fengbei Ling was also affected by the time reversal. He had just woken up, and his face was full of astonishment.

He never expected that Jiang Yun would actually have mastered the power of time.

Hearing Ginger Cloud's voice, and seeing Ginger Cloud's figure about to disappear, his heart suddenly surged with excitement.

Finally, I can leave this illusion.

Jiang Yun's figure finally became completely illusory. However, at that very instant, a majestic voice suddenly rang in his ear: "Incomplete realm, rules cannot be broken!"

"A light punishment will not set a precedent!"

This sudden sound shocked Jiang Yun.

He never expected, under such circumstances, that there would be a third voice.

Before he could even understand what the voice was saying, he saw that Feng Beiling, who was just like him, about to leave the illusionary realm, had his body solidify from illusory to real at the same time the voice rang out.

The web of rules, already nearly torn to shreds by the guardian figures, seemed to undergo a reverse flow of time. It healed at a rate faster than it had been broken.

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

"Boom boom boom!"

Then, a great earthquake shook the ground, and the sky roared. A powerful force, whose origin was unknown, descended from heaven and entered Jiang Yun's body. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, and his consciousness began to dissipate rapidly.

Even so, he still gritted his teeth tightly, holding on with all his might to prevent himself from falling unconscious. Instead, he widened his eyes, staring at Feng Beiling who was now completely blurred before him, and the entire illusionary world, vanishing into thin air.

"Who are you!"

As the illusion vanished, three words squeezed out from between Ginger Cloud's tightly clenched teeth.

And the next moment, his body collapsed heavily to the ground, falling into a coma.

——

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Yun suddenly opened his eyes. Wind Hong's concerned voice immediately rang in his ears: "Little Brother Jiang, you're awake!"

Hearing Feng Hong's voice, Jiang Yun couldn't help but close his eyes again. The memories before falling into a coma, like a tide, surged in instantly, filling his mind.

Seeing Jiang Yun close his eyes, Feng Hong softly said: "Jiang Xiaoge, you're seriously injured, rest for a while!"

"Just speak up if you need anything, I'm right outside."

After he finished speaking, Feng Hong turned and walked out.

But Ginger Cloud opened her eyes again.

Feeling waves of excruciating pain within his body, he knew that after he had fallen unconscious, the Feng family must have found him and brought him back.

Although he knew he was seriously injured, he didn't have the mind to care right now. Instead, he was lost in memories of the imposing voice he heard just before escaping the illusion, and the two words that came with it.

"This incomplete state cannot be broken by rules!"

A light punishment will be given, and no further action will be taken!

For this voice, although Ginger Cloud didn't know who it belonged to, it wasn't hard to imagine that the other party was the one who had cast the illusion!

The illusion that permeated the Hua Jiang realm, and perhaps even covered the entire Phantom True Domain, was actually a human creation!

To this, Jiang Yun wasn't actually too surprised.

After all, it is said that the entire Heavenly Domain is just a dream made by a nightmare beast. So it's not inconceivable that the illusions of the Illusory Realm are conjured by a powerful being.

What really made Jiang Yun ponder was still those two sentences the other party said.

Originally, one's own path of protection had already shattered the web of rules.

Combining his own immortality techniques, he was almost able to lead Feng Bei Ling into an illusion.

The

web of rules, however, recovered instantaneously. The reason was "the incomplete realm".

"Does 'Complete Realm' refer to my cultivation realm"

Ginger murmured, "No, the realm of completeness refers to the four realms of cultivation, referring to the realms of the Four Tantras!"

"Among the four realms of suffering, gathering, extinction, and the path, my guardian way belongs to the realm of the path."

"Imperfect realm, naturally means that my path is not yet a complete path."

About the theory of the four realms, Jiang Yun heard it from Wànglǎo.

Suffering, aggregation, extinction, and the path; each realm has a founder.

But anyone who can create a unique way of practice and realm is a truly great being.

Such a mighty being, no matter their cultivation realm, as long as they are within the realm they created, would be invincible.

But what constitutes a complete Daoist realm Could it be said that it is achieved by establishing the Dao as Emperor

The ultimate goal of cultivation for cultivators is to become an emperor. Those who have reached the fourth realm naturally have the possibility of becoming emperors.

Therefore, Ginger Cloud speculated that no matter which realm's cultivators they were, they must become Emperors through their own cultivation methods, making the realm they cultivated complete and virtuous before it could be considered a truly complete realm.

After much deliberation, Jiang Yun nodded and said, "That must be the explanation!"

Although I don't know to which realm of suffering, gathering, extinction, and path this illusory realm belongs, it is clearly not the realm of gathering or the realm of path.

And the way to break free from this illusory realm is to wield different powers of the realm.

"My master escapes the illusion through collective power, while I escape through the power of the Dao."

Although we can use our respective powers to escape the illusionary realm and even bring out objects, to bring living beings out of it, we need a complete realm. We need to become Emperors before we can break the rules of the illusionary realm.

As Gingercloud understood everything, he let out a soft sigh and began to check his injuries.

Of course, my own injuries were a result of my attempt to lure Feng Beiling out of the illusionary realm. The one who cast the illusion merely gave me a light reprimand.

The other party was merciful and didn't kill me.

However, if one were to try again to bring Feng Bei Ling out of the illusion, the other party would not let them go.

After a moment, Jiang Yun opened his eyes again and sat up.

Although his injuries were severe, Ginger Cloud's self-healing ability was also astonishing, so he didn't care at all.

"Old man Feng!"

Hearing Ginger Cloud's shout, Feng Hong's figure immediately appeared.

He saw that Gingercloud had actually sat up and hurriedly said, "Young Master Gingercloud, why don't you rest for a while longer"

"I'm fine!" Jiang Yun shook his head and said, "Father-in-law, how long have I been unconscious"

"Two days!" Feng Hong said, "Two days ago, the illusion just appeared for a short while, and suddenly there was an earthquake, feeling like the end of the world."

"Fortunately, the vibration lasted only a moment before subsiding. However, in its wake, the environment also vanished."

Then Yun Can went to the place where the fantasy realm was, and found you unconscious there, so he brought you back.

Jiang Yun fell silent for a moment before saying, "Did Yun Can just discover that I was alone"

This question caused Feng Hong to be slightly taken aback. His face immediately lit up with a look of realization and shock as he said, "Could it be that the earth-shattering tremor that day was caused by my esteemed brother bringing out the ancestor of our Feng family from the illusionary realm"

Jiang Yun nodded and said, "Not bad, but I should have failed."

Feng Hong stood there for a moment, then suddenly took two steps back and bowed to Jiang Yun: "Brother Jiang, although you failed, your great kindness and virtue will never be forgotten by the Feng family."

"Jiang Yun smiled and said, 'I'm not doing this to make you grateful, I just wanted to test my hypothesis about the illusion myself.'"

"Alright, I'll rest for a while."

Feng Hong nodded quickly and said, "Then you should rest well. No matter what, take care of your injuries first."

Seeing Feng Hong about to walk out of the house, Jiang Yun suddenly spoke again: "By the way, Master Feng, do you know when the next illusion realm will open"

Feng Hong suddenly turned around, his eyes widening as he looked at Jiang Yun and said, "Jiang Xiaoguo, aren't you going to enter the Illusory Realm"

Ginger nodded and said, "Of course we have to go in!"we shall meet again!"Song Qi also clasped his fists in return and said, "Song is also very much looking forward to the day when he can meet Daoist Jiang again!"As soon as the words left his mouth, Jia...
