Starting from the imperial palace guards, his clones spread all over the world.

Chapter 508, Volume 2 of the Yin Fu Dragon Shedding Scripture?
Liang Jin looked around.

Everything here is so clear.

Of the six senses, hearing, smell, touch, and taste are all impeccable.

However, Liang Jin always felt something was wrong with his perception.

Liang Jin hadn't understood what was wrong before, but now he did.

The main body and the clone are in perfect harmony.

However, the connection between Liang Jin's clone and his original body just now became very strange, as if it had been distorted.

This change is easy to spot.

However, a strange force was causing Liang Jin to overlook some issues.

It wasn't until Liang Jin saw the large airplane soaring through the night sky that he suddenly woke up!

He got caught!

An extremely powerful force dragged him into a magnificent illusion.

That's right, it's an illusion!
This force has made this illusion almost perfect.

Because everything in this illusion is created based on the memories in the human brain.

That is why, if anyone were to fall into such an environment, it would be very difficult for them to distinguish between reality and illusion.

After all, everything here is something you've seen, heard, and felt. Even things you haven't seen before can be made fully understandable here!

Everything is so lifelike that it draws you in and makes it hard to tear yourself away.

This illusion is just too amazing.

Even when ordinary people experience hallucinations, there is a hazy, illusory feeling. The hallucinations are bizarre and surreal, and are severely disconnected from reality, making it easy for people to realize that they are in a hallucination.

In his previous life, Liang Jin mistakenly ate a hallucinogenic mushroom. When he saw many little people laughing and playing around him, he immediately realized that he was hallucinating.

But the hallucination was exceptionally clear at this moment.

So much so that people in the midst of it are completely unaware that they are in a hallucination.

It's like a "brain in a vat," but when all the senses are working perfectly, it's impossible to distinguish between the real and the fake.

The greatest advantage of this illusion is that it uses human memory to create the illusion.

But this is also its biggest weakness.

Liang Jin's memories include not only those of his present life, but also those of his past life.

But this force clearly cannot distinguish between the two.

As a result, Liang Jin's environment not only contained people and things from the present world, but also things like large airplanes that he only had in his previous life.

However, the power to create illusions is indeed formidable.

Liang Jin's memories from his previous life made him think that large airplanes were normal things, and this power created that feeling when it created the illusion.

Furthermore, they attempted to perfectly integrate Liang Jin's memories from both lifetimes.

This made Zhao Xiling in the illusion unmoved by the large airplane, and no one in the palace found it strange.

That's exactly why Liang Jin immediately discovered the flaw!
It's likely that even this power capable of creating illusions could never have imagined that one day it would produce someone with completely different, even diametrically opposed, memories from two lifetimes, enabling them to unravel the mystery.

"Hey! Did you hear me?"

"Believe it or not, I'll chop off your head."

"In the palace, no one dares to disregard me!"

Zhao Xiling stood with her hands on her hips, chattering incessantly.

Liang Jin snapped out of his daze amidst her shrill shouting.

He suddenly reached out, grabbed Zhao Xiling's chin, pulled her in front of him, and scrutinized her closely.

The warm, damp breath Zhao Xiling exhaled from her mouth and nose landed on Liang Jin's face, revealing the pores on her face and the flawless texture of her skin.

Zhao Xiling blushed instantly under Liang Jin's intense gaze, her eyes filled with shyness as she asked bashfully:

"You...what do you want to do?"

Her beautiful eyes were filled with spring, and her full, rosy lips were slightly parted, revealing a hint of longing.

Liang Jin sighed softly and murmured:
"What a powerful illusion! I didn't even realize when I fell into it."

"Look at you, you look just like the real thing."

"But a fake is a fake, no matter how real it may seem."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Jin exerted his strength, and Zhao Xiling's chin was instantly crushed. Blood splattered onto Liang Jin's face like a fountain, and the smell of blood filled the air.

Zhao Xiling, who had lost her jaw, screamed in agony. Her tongue, which had lost its support, drooped down as her screams grew weaker.

"It's noisy."

Liang Jin waved his hand, and a vast amount of internal energy surged out.

"Bang!!!"

In an instant, Zhao Xiling turned into a cloud of blood mist and vanished.

Liang Jin flashed, and a strong wind suddenly arose around him.

"call!!!"

Accompanied by howling winds, he rose into the air and soared straight into the night sky.

High in the air, Liang Jin looked down at the scene below.

Within the imperial city, buildings are densely packed and scattered like stars, appearing solemn and majestic under the night sky.

The people in the city were as insignificant as ants, moving through the streets and alleys.

Looking out from high above, the vast land appears as a slight arc, and the mountains, rivers, streets, and alleys on the land are exactly the same as the ground in the capital city that Liang Jin remembers.

"fake."

Liang Jin muttered to himself:

“I have seen through it all; it is all emptiness, nothing but chaotic thoughts, illusions, and dreams.”

"Break it for me!"

Liang Jin calmed himself down and cleared his mind of all distractions.

At this moment, the only way to break free from the illusion is to rely on strong willpower, supplemented by the feeling of falling.

Immediately, he exhausted all his strength and plummeted from the sky like a meteor.

The speed of his descent increased rapidly, as if the earth was rushing towards him from above, and the wind howled in his ears, almost tearing him apart.

Finally, he crashed to the ground like a cannonball...

next moment!
Liang Jin shuddered violently, almost losing his balance and falling to the ground. In that instant, he regained his senses.

He didn't fall to his death as expected, but instead stood on the ground.

"I'm finally awake!"

Liang Jin let out a long sigh of relief, his tense nerves finally relaxing, and slowly looked around.

What appeared before us was a huge grotto.

Liang Jin was very familiar with this grotto; it was the same one he had seen when he arrived at the end of the cave earlier.

The lifeless buildings, resembling both an imperial palace and a religious site, still stand quietly in front, firmly situated on their massive base.

Everything seemed to be the same as before.

However, the biggest difference lies in the people.

Many people were standing around Liang Jin.

Among them were Shen Cangming, Zhao Xiling, and other martial artists who had entered the Burial Dragon Ridge together.

They stood motionless, like wooden or clay sculptures, their faces blank, their eyes open but empty and lifeless.
Clearly, they were all still deeply trapped in the illusion, unable to extricate themselves.

However, besides these people, there are quite a few other people here.

However, they were all dead people!
Most of them were dried corpses, and they stood straight in front of the lifeless building, just like Liang Jin and his group.

Judging from the decayed clothing on these mummies, it is not difficult to deduce that these people were likely from the Six Doors and government offices of the Great Qian Dynasty.

Clearly, after the Great Qian Dynasty transformed Burial Dragon Ridge into the Nine Abyss Rock Prison, it sent many people to explore this forbidden land of the Youhuan Clan.

But without exception, everyone who steps into this place remains here forever, wandering in the illusion until death, unable to escape.

No wonder there were no skeletons of the Six Doors of the Great Qian Dynasty inside the cave, but there were many skeletons of guards at the cave entrance.

Clearly, the Daqian court was also aware of the danger of this place, and after failing to find any answers, it could only send people to guard and seal it off.

Besides these mummies from the Great Qian Dynasty, there were also many skeletons that appeared to be much older.

These skeletons were scattered all over the ground. Their strange attire suggested they were members of the Youhuan tribe.

Some remains are so ancient that they have turned to dust, and their existence can only be proven by some uncorroded stone tools.

Countless living people, mummies, skeletons, and dust gathered densely in front of this deathly gray complex of buildings.

Who could have imagined that this seemingly peaceful place would trap and kill so many people?

If Liang Jin hadn't realized he was trapped in an illusion in time, he probably would have ended up like them, standing here until the end of his life.

"What an amazing illusion!"

Liang Jin was greatly amazed by what he saw.

The power to create illusions has such a wide range of influence; it feels like anyone who enters the vicinity of this cave will be affected by the illusions and eventually die.

In particular, in ordinary hallucinations, people only need to be exposed to external stimuli, such as pain, cold, or hunger, to wake up.

And the illusion here can trap people until they die.

But there should be a way to solve this.

For example, after Liang Jin saw through the illusion, he relied on his strong willpower and the feeling of falling from a great height to wake himself up.

The Youhuan warrior that Shen Cangming once mentioned, who broke into this place in ancient times and successfully brought back the "Yin Fu Long Tui Jing" (a type of ancient Chinese text), probably also had a similar method to awaken.

However, the warrior succeeded the first time, but failed the second time.

In other words, even if one regains consciousness here, there are still other dangers!

"Great Teacher, what are you doing here?"

A voice sounded from behind.

Liang Jin turned around and saw that it was Zhao Bao.

Zhao Bao walked in, heading towards Liang Jin with a puzzled expression:

What's wrong with all these people?

Why are they all standing there without moving?

Zhao Bao was clearly puzzled by the sight of everyone standing there blankly.

Liang Jin hurriedly spoke up:
"Zhao Bao, don't come any closer!"

"There is some kind of power here that can induce hallucinations!"

Unfortunately, it was too late for Liang Jin.

Zhao Baogang took two steps, then suddenly stopped.

His expression then became blank, his eyes vacant, clearly indicating that he had fallen into a hallucination.

Seeing this, Liang Jin sighed helplessly and immediately wanted to rescue Zhao Bao. But suddenly!

"Buzz!!!"

A violent tremor came without warning.

Along with the tremors, a chilling scream also reached our ears.

Liang Jin's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look.

Suddenly, a black torrent surged forth from the deathly gray cluster of buildings.

Upon closer inspection, it wasn't a black torrent at all, but clearly countless black spiders!
Each of these spiders is the size of a bowl, and their backs are especially colorful, as if they are inlaid with a terrifying ghost face.

Because of the sheer number of spiders, when they gather together, they resemble a surging black torrent.

In the blink of an eye, they had rushed to the group.

Even experts like Canxin and Gu Jinfu were devoured in an instant by this black torrent, leaving only skeletons, demonstrating the terrifying nature of these spiders.

Liang Jin was extremely anxious and immediately wanted to save the person.

But the next moment.

"Boom!!!"

With a deafening roar, the ground suddenly cracked open, and an enormous black, ghost-faced spider burst forth from the earth!

This spider was enormous, like a small mountain, and its appearance was accompanied by a powerful, suffocating aura of a ferocious beast!
This aura was comparable to the giant snake that Liang Jin had seen on Hualong Island!
"We can't stay here any longer!"

Alarm bells rang in Liang Jin's mind, realizing that danger was imminent. He immediately planned to take Zhao Bao and flee the place.

suddenly!

Liang Jin's expression suddenly changed.

He suddenly realized something was wrong!

Although Zhao Bao has reached the third rank, he has only recently entered the third rank and is not yet proficient in controlling his third-rank strength.

In any case, it was impossible for him to get close to him silently.

In the past, Liang Jin would have assumed that Zhao Bao had mastered some advanced lightness skill.

But after experiencing a hallucination, Liang Jin believed everything at this moment...

It must still be a hallucination!
Just as this thought flashed through Liang Jin's mind, the giant spider had already charged aggressively towards him.

Its eight eyes, like eight enormous black gems, emitted a cold light and stared intently at Liang Jin.

Its huge black claws, like two giant pincers covered in slime, whistled through the air as they clamped down hard on Liang Jin's head!

If an ordinary person saw this scene, they would probably be so frightened that their legs would go weak and they would collapse to the ground.

But Liang Jin took a deep breath and relaxed. Instead of running away, he slowly closed his eyes.

"Wake up!"

He roared inwardly, quickly calming himself and banishing all distracting thoughts, trying to regain his senses with sheer willpower.

After a while.

When he slowly opened his eyes again, he found himself still standing in the same place.

The surroundings were completely silent, eerily so.

Where was Zhao Bao now in the grotto?
And those giant black, ghost-faced spiders also vanished without a trace.

It was just a hallucination!
The hallucination was so powerful that even though Liang Jin had already regained consciousness once, he still fell for it again without realizing it.

If Liang Jin hadn't been alerted in time, and there had been any delay, they might have been deeply trapped and unable to extricate themselves.

This also filled Liang Jin with vigilance:

"It seems that my sobriety is only temporary."

"As long as you don't leave this area, you will still be affected by that force."

Even if you regain your senses temporarily, you will still fall back into that terrible hallucination.

Without further hesitation, Liang Jin took out the "Four Faces" from his inventory and put it on.

He only dared to do this when he was briefly lucid.

If he does this in the illusion, then perhaps what he is wearing is just a fake mask, which will make him lower his guard and thus completely fall into the illusion.

Liang Jin hadn't used the [Si Mian] before because he always had someone by his side.

Now that everyone around Liang Jin is trapped in the illusion, he has nothing to fear.

"Open your eyes!"

After putting on the [Si Mian], Liang Jin immediately activated his Fire Eye ability.

The Fiery Eye has many functions, one of which is that it can see through many spells and illusions.

Back then, Liang Jin relied on his Fiery Eyes ability to fight against Mi Qianmeng's hypnosis and bewitching spells, and also broke through the Left Demon Envoy Leng You's Illusionary Eye Soul-Capturing Technique.

Even the berserk nature of "Mad Blade" can be eliminated by the effect of [Si Face].

Therefore, Liang Jin was quite certain that he could break the illusion here by relying on this [Si Face]!
As Liang Jin used his Fire Eye ability, the red eyeball painted on the mask seemed to come alive, even twitching slightly.

Liang Jin's vision underwent a peculiar change in an instant.

After putting on the [Si Mask], Liang Jin waited quietly for a moment.

No more illusions appeared, which proves that the [Si Mian] produced by the system is indeed useful.

Now that he was no longer worried about the effects of the illusion, Liang Jin should now properly investigate the secrets of this place.

Immediately, he turned his gaze to the buildings in the distance.

But upon closer inspection, Liang Jin frowned deeply:

"Ok?"

"How could this be?"

Liang Jin's fiery eyes can see through illusions and walls, allowing him to see what's behind them.

Back in Flowing Sand City, Liang Jin used his Fiery Eyes to see the entire city clearly, and in Hidden Wind Valley, he even discovered that the so-called treasure was fake.

But at this moment.
Even with his sharp eyes, Liang Jin couldn't see through the magnificent palace before him!

It was as if some powerful force existed within this palace, trying its best to prevent others from prying into it.

But it's not like we can't see through it at all!
Liang Jin was still able to vaguely see through some of it.

If we say that the buildings of the past appear as transparent glass from a fire-eyed perspective.

The palace before us, filled with an aura of death, was like frosted glass; we could only vaguely see its outline, but could not clearly see through its interior.

This was the first time Liang Jin had encountered such a situation.

"Even the Fiery Eyes can't see through it completely?"

"This place seems quite strange."

"It seems we'll have to go inside to find out what's going on."

Liang Jin glanced around.

Apart from this lifeless complex of buildings, he really didn't find anything unusual.

It seems that in the end, I still have to go into this building.

Liang Jin immediately became alert, and with a swift movement, he flew towards the buildings.

Soon, he landed on the high base and entered the area of ​​the building.

This building was constructed on an extremely large scale.

Although its area is not as vast as that of the palace, every building here is exceptionally tall, even more majestic than the palace!

Because the materials used to build these buildings were not ordinary bricks, but huge stones.

The cave where the complex is located is already pitch black, and these gray-black buildings appear even more gloomy and terrifying against the dark background, as if they are hiding countless secrets.

Looking at these enormous buildings, Liang Jin couldn't help but marvel inwardly.

It's hard to imagine how much manpower, resources, and time it would take to build such a massive complex deep underground.

Could it have been built by the Youhuan Clan?
Liang Jin was full of doubts about this.

The Great Qian Dynasty was populous, vast, and rich in resources, yet even so, the construction of the imperial palace required the full strength of the nation.

The Youhuan Clan has a small population and limited territory, making it virtually impossible for them to construct such a complex.

"Ok?"

"what is that?"

Liang Jin's gaze was suddenly drawn to something in front of him.

At this moment, Liang Jin was on the outermost edge of this building complex.

Before him stood two rows of tall buildings, exuding a wild and rugged atmosphere, but they were not exquisite, far from the luxurious and magnificent buildings in the Great Qian Imperial Palace.

In the middle of the building, there is a very wide street.

However, a stone platform stood a zhang away from Liang Jin.

The stone platform is no more than half a person's height, and it is engraved with bright red and intricate patterns. It does not look like an ordinary decoration, but rather like some kind of mysterious talisman, making the stone platform look like a small altar.

At the top of the stone platform is a groove.

It's clear that something was originally placed inside, but it has now disappeared.

What surprised Liang Jin was not the stone platform.

But behind the stone platform, there was a pile of remains!
The remains were so ancient that most of the bones had decayed into dust, and the clothing, fur, and weapons had long since rotted into ashes.

If it weren't for the fact that the base was relatively clean except for the thick layer of dust, others would have mistaken it for a pile of ordinary dirt.

Only through careful observation can one discover stone spearheads, arrowheads, gemstones, and agates in this pile of "soil," thus identifying it as a pile of human remains left after death.

The cave contains countless mummies, skeletons, and remains.

But they are all directly in front of this building, under its massive base.

And this pile of remains was the only one that appeared on the base!

Liang Jin was drawn to the pile of remains and walked over without thinking.

When he arrived at the skeleton, he roughly determined that this person, who had been dead for countless years, had not only come to the base but was also trying to go deeper into the building along the street.

Unfortunately, he ultimately lost his life there.

Following the direction the skeleton pointed, Liang Jin saw a wide street leading to a huge building.

And there was even an altar on the street!
A long street, two altars.

Liang Jin had already passed by one of the altars, and it was now empty.

On the altar in the distance, there was also a groove.

Inside the groove was a jade scepter!
Strangely, this jade scepter emitted a faint greenish glow, making it stand out in the dark environment.

At that moment, a flash of inspiration struck Liang Jin, and he seemed to have gained some insight:

"Could it be..."

"That's the second volume of the *Yin Fu Long Tui Jing*?!"

(End of this chapter)
