The Game with Fairies

Chapter 250: Xiao Yecao’s Contemporaries

On the small boat, Xiao Yecao was taken aback by Li Muyang’s question.

“An illusion that only the Purple Mansion realm can see through?”

She looked at Li Muyang in surprise and asked, “Elder Brother, why are you suddenly asking this?”

Li Muyang sighed and said, “I’ll tell you the reason later, just tell me how to solve it.”

“Without involving a battle of cultivation levels, how would a late-stage Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator break an illusion set by a Purple Mansion powerhouse?”

Xiao Yecao was definitely the highest in cultivation realm among the people Li Muyang had met.

Even Yan Xiaoru, who had advanced to the Purple Mansion realm, was still far behind Xiao Yecao.

After all, Xiao Yecao is someone who can play chess with gods and has been invited to a banquet in the Dragon Palace.

Although she denies having become an immortal, Li Muyang speculates that even if this girl hasn’t achieved immortality, she’s not far from the realm of immortals.

When faced with a dilemma beyond his understanding, Li Muyang naturally seeks out someone with a higher level of awareness.

After listening to Li Muyang’s rough breakdown of the situation and his “hypothesis,” Xiao Yecao laughed.

“The situation you’re talking about, Elder Brother… isn’t that about the divine power of the Fairy Yubi (Jade Brush Fairy) from the Desolate Mountain?”

“To write with a brush, to rewrite space, to condense illusions, both real and unreal… that Fairy Yubi is not just of the Purple Mansion.”

“If what you’re saying is about her, this fairy from the Desolate Hills is beyond the realm of Purple Mansion, in the Primordial Realm.”

“She’s only a step away from becoming a true immortal,” Xiao Yecao said softly.

Li Muyang was slightly taken aback: “Fairy Yubi? Primordial Realm?”

Could it be someone from the same era as Xiao Yecao?

Xiao Yecao nodded: “Yes, the Primordial Realm. Fairy Yubi was also present at the Dragon King’s night banquet. However, at that time, Elder Brother, you were entangled with the Dragon Maiden… hehe… so you missed Fairy Yubi.”

Xiao Yecao said with a grin: “Elder Brother, since you don’t know Fairy Yubi, where did you learn about her divine power?”

Xiao Yecao looked at Li Muyang curiously, blinking her eyes.

Li Muyang was somewhat at a loss for words.

After the great changes in the world following the ancient times, it’s common knowledge that the Purple Mansion realm is the pinnacle of the cultivation world.

He wasn’t surprised that there were realms above the Purple Mansion.

What surprised him was that Fairy Yubi, who died under the Liuli Immortal Sword, was actually a contemporary of Xiao Yecao?

Even in the game, he had attended the Dragon King’s banquet with the Fairy Yubi.

But indeed, he did not recognize the Fairy Yubi.

In the fourth stage of 《Deadly Weed》, amidst the long and tedious daily interactions, many plotlines were quickly skipped and ended, making it difficult for Li Muyang to experience every daily detail.

After all, in the fourth stage, he had already spent more than twenty years traveling and enjoying leisure time with Xiao Yecao.

If he were to experience every moment wholeheartedly, reaching the end of the game would still be far off.

Now, hearing that Xiao Yecao was aware of the existence of Fairy Yubi, Li Muyang asked, “Then do you know how to break her illusionary divine power?”

Xiao Yecao’s question went unanswered, but she wasn’t angry.

The woman pondered with her chin in hand: “Hmm… well…”

“Based on my understanding of Fairy Yubi, if she uses the cultivation of the Foundation Establishment Realm to support the illusion of the Primordial Realm, the burden would be too great, and the power of the divine power would be greatly reduced.”

“If I’m not mistaken, her illusion cannot last very long, and it can only confuse people, but it cannot truly harm people or truly rewrite reality.”

“If you’re trapped by such an illusion, you just need to persist in the illusion without being eroded by the hallucinations, and within a quarter of an hour, the energy supporting the illusion will be exhausted, and the illusion will break on its own.”

Xiao Yecao, being close to a true immortal, quickly provided the best solution.

She smiled at Li Muyang and said, “And to persist for a quarter of an hour in the illusion is not difficult. Elder Brother, I’ll teach you a little trick to seal the six senses and isolate the divine consciousness.”

“You don’t look, you don’t listen, you don’t need to see or hear, you just need to persist for a quarter of an hour, and the illusion will naturally be broken…”

……

Back in the game, on a hill filled with the remnants of divine weapons, Li Muyang returned to the game.

The sword spirit in plain white robes floated nearby, reminding him coldly.

“Your ancient sword technique is indeed extraordinarily powerful.”

“But what you will face next are the strongest remnants in this sword realm.”

“Each enemy you encounter from now on was once a powerhouse of their time…”

Li Muyang ignored the sword spirit’s reminder and stepped forward.

The illusion of Fairy Yubi appeared on the hill.

As the woman’s illusion held the jade brush and wrote ancient characters in the air, Li Muyang’s vision was immediately filled with a beautiful sea of flowers that spread to the horizon.

However, the moment the sea of flowers appeared in his vision, Li Muyang silently recited the mantra and closed his eyes.

His perception of the outside world was quickly cut off.

In the darkness, Li Muyang felt like a bodiless wandering soul devoid of all senses.

The pitch black, oppressive, deathly silent, and enclosed state weighed heavily on his heart.

But Li Muyang gritted his teeth and persisted.

A quarter of an hour later, the state of his sealed consciousness automatically lifted.

He opened his eyes to find himself standing on the hill.

He felt like a building eroded by wind and sand, his body full of gaps.

But as a spiritual body, Li Muyang quickly healed the wounds on his body and looked forward.

The broken jade brush had fallen back to the ground, and the illusion of Fairy Yubi had vanished without a trace.

The sword spirit beside him was somewhat surprised.

“…What kind of secret technique is this? You broke the illusion so easily.”

The sword spirit frowned and said, “Chu Qingxue thinks you have the ability to foresee the future… could it be true?”

“Why did you seem to know so much about this illusion the first time you saw it and instantly come up with a way to break it?”

Clearly, the method Li Muyang used to break the illusion was so unusual and specific that it surprised the sword spirit.

To this, Li Muyang just smiled and said nothing.

He continued to walk forward, taking ten steps on the rugged hill.

With ten steps taken, a broken sword on the hill flew up.

A carefree and unrestrained black shadow appeared on the hill.

Even though it was pitch black and had no facial features, the shadow still gave off a feeling of being free and easy.

The shadow held the broken sword and swung it, attacking Li Muyang.

It wasn’t the usual battle between cultivators.

This shadow was more like a swordsman from a storybook, personally wielding a broken sword and stepping forward.

In an instant, space shortened under his feet.

With one step, the shadow reached Li Muyang, who was dozens of zhang away. The fierce sword intent unfolded in the secret realm.

Li Muyang was shocked and immediately wielded his sword to defend but quickly fell into a disadvantage.

After a few breaths of exchange, Li Muyang’s Startling Swan Sword Mantra was broken, and the broken sword struck his chest.

【You died. Game Over】

“…Outrageous!”

This time, Li Muyang didn’t even need to ask Xiao Yecao; he had already recognized who the shadow was.

It was the lone swordsman, Bai Muchen, who had accompanied Li Muyang and Xiao Yecao for half a year during the fourth stage of 《Deadly Weed》!
