Wizards in the world of cultivation

Chapter 97 Mirage Experiment
The power of the seven emotions and six desires, combined with mirage energy.

What exactly is the purpose of this?
Su You's mind raced, but he couldn't figure it out.

Although the mirage was still under his control, neither its appearance nor anything else changed.

The number of thoughts generated by the seven emotions and six desires is too small.

Su You's heart stirred slightly, and the entire mirage world changed once again.

The original forest has turned into a valley, and in the distance of the valley, shadowy figures seem to be moving about.

The dozens of people in the mirage immediately became excited, thinking they had escaped the strange place they had just been in.

But no matter which way they went, no matter how many times they circled around, they still couldn't leave the valley, and the despair in their hearts resurfaced.

Su You constantly changed the scenery of the mirage, causing their emotions to fluctuate continuously.

However, there is an end to this rapid stimulation of other people's emotions.

Until he changed the scene again, these people resigned themselves to their fate and stopped making any further moves; their emotional fluctuations were not as intense as before.

"What a pity..." Su You sighed softly.

In just a few hours, the mirage spontaneously collected the various emotions of these people and merged them together in a way he did not understand.

What was originally a seven-colored mirage has turned into pure white.

Su You held the mirage in his hand, pondering its specific function.

It seems to have no effect on improving the mirage, nor can it expand the size of the mirage.

But this thing is definitely useful, otherwise the fifth-tier mirage dragon wouldn't be able to collect a large number of souls.

Su You guessed that the mirage dragon was collecting souls in order to gather the power of these seven emotions and six desires.

However, he has no idea how to utilize these powers.

"This thing now looks like a white cloud." Su You gently patted it, and it hung in the sky.

White clouds?

White clouds!

The light of excitement in Su You's eyes was shining as he thought of something: there was a Sky Continent in the Mirage Realm.

However, there are large open spaces in the Mirage Realm, so why put the souls of these cultivators into the Sky Continent?

Moreover, cultivation is only possible on the Sky Continent, where the source of power can be found.

The white cloud he held in his hand was very similar to the white clouds of the Sky Continent.

"Could it be that some kind of cultivation technique is the key to mastering this power?" Su You thought of the cultivation system in the Mirage Realm, which was different from the outside world.

Once he thought of this, he no longer hesitated, and the whole world changed once again.

This time, everyone appeared in a soft white cloud, which drifted in the sky, allowing them to gaze at the scenery outside.

Of course, these landscapes are all illusions. The space of the mirage is only so big, and he could not possibly create a real illusion that exceeds the size of the mirage.

However, these people have weak souls and cannot perceive the falsehoods of the outside world. As long as they cannot leave this place, they are naturally unable to explore it.

In the center of the white clouds, a huge bronze stele slowly emerged, recording the original cultivation method he obtained from the Mirage Realm.

Fortunately, my curiosity about the cultivation techniques in the Mirage Realm led me to exchange for the original cultivation techniques there, as well as a technique that leads directly to the Golden Core stage.

Now is the perfect time to use it for experiments.

They were used to the changing scenery around them, but the appearance of this bronze stele in front of them piqued their curiosity.

Because the stone tablet records a cultivation technique.

They couldn't leave this place either way, and now that they had lost all their cultivation, some daring cultivators soon tried to practice the techniques on the stone tablet.

"I can actually cultivate! I have spiritual power again!" a cultivator exclaimed excitedly.

Since being trapped inside and losing all their cultivation, everyone has been feeling very down. After experiencing so many strange things, they would naturally feel more at ease if they could regain some of their power.

As dozens of people successively attempted to cultivate, the power of the seven emotions and six desires stored in this white cloud was completely exhausted.

Upon seeing this, Su You immediately changed his mind, and everyone in the mirage fell unconscious.

The mental energy directly and crudely explored one of the souls, but unfortunately, it found nothing different.

The mysteries of the soul are beyond his current level of understanding.

Even the power of the seven emotions and six desires can only be grasped to a certain extent with the help of the mirage and this mysterious technique.

Next, Su You conducted several control experiments.

The first method is to use mirage energy in the external world to see if it can absorb the power of the seven emotions and six desires.

The mirage directly enveloped several souls, creating various illusions in their minds. Even after the souls dissipated, the mirage still failed to absorb this mysterious power.

The second question is whether those souls who cultivate special techniques can exert their power when placed in the outside world.

The experiment also failed; only souls that cultivated special techniques within the mirage realm could possess power.

These experiments confirm that the mirage is the foundation upon which all the conditions for its formation are based.

Only in the mirage realm can the soul survive for a long time. The mirage energy within can absorb the seven emotions and six desires generated by the souls of living beings, and can use mysterious techniques to absorb these emotions and desires to generate power.

"But what is the role of these cultivators? What use are they after absorbing this power?" Su You kept thinking, as this was related to the survival and growth of the Mirage Realm.

While the talent of the Mirage Realm can be continuously enhanced and evolved, this process is extremely long, and it is impossible to evolve to the level of the Mirage Realm controlled by a fifth-order Mirage Dragon.

The other party must have other methods to enhance the Mirage Realm.

Since he couldn't tell from these outward appearances of the soul, Su You had no choice but to go and try it himself.

Before that, Su You placed the sleeping souls in a corner of the Mirage Realm, then introduced another batch of souls, and by constantly changing the scenes inside, he gained the power of the seven emotions and six desires.

"almost……"

After harvesting a batch of emotions and desires, Su You snapped his own neck, and his soul was sent into the Mirage Realm by his twin clones.

Because of the subtle and pervasive power of the other party's mirage, even though they were curious about its unique system, they didn't dare to linger inside, let alone try to cultivate there.

I'm currently in my own mirage, but I can safely try cultivating. Even if problems arise, I can easily recover.

Su You sat on a cloud formed by the power of the seven emotions and six desires, circulating his cultivation technique. The continuous flow of power was drawn into his body and then refined under the operation of the technique.

"This is no different from normal cultivation... and what use is this power, and what is its connection with the Mirage Realm?" Su You frowned, somewhat helplessly.

Even if one tries to absorb this power personally, it is still difficult to discern its purpose and how it can affect the Mirage Realm.

Su You shook his head helplessly, then pointed with his left hand, and a faint fireball appeared at his fingertip.

The fireball clattered and flew out, eventually disappearing slowly into the air.

The amount of power that could be absorbed from the white clouds was simply too small. Even if Su You absorbed this power for cultivation according to the standards of the outside world, his actual cultivation level was not even at the first level of Qi Refining, so he naturally could not unleash much power.

Only after the fireball disappeared did Su You's face suddenly show a look of surprise and wonder.

The twin clones had just detected a slight increase in the size of the Mirage Realm space through their Mirage Realm talent.

This growth was so slight that even if he used his mental power to scan and observe, he might not be able to detect it.

If it weren't for his innate ability to sense every change within the mirage, he might not have discovered this situation.

"So that's how it is! So that's how it is!" Su Youhuan suddenly realized.

The Mirage Realm cannot directly absorb the power of the seven emotions and six desires to grow stronger, but it can transform and modify this power through this special technique, converting it into a power suitable for the Mirage Realm to absorb.

Of course, this is just his conjecture. Regardless of whether it is for this reason or not, as long as it can have an effect on the mirage, that's fine. The underlying principles can be studied gradually in the future.

No wonder they wanted to build a Sky Continent in that mirage.

Firstly, it can gather the source of power, making it convenient for cultivators to absorb and cultivate.

Secondly, these cultivators possess immense power after cultivation, and gathering them in the Sky City is also to prevent them from destroying the mortal world.

After all, the mortals below are an important source of power for the seven emotions and six desires.

Having understood the essence of the mirage's evolution, Su You instantly grasped the various layouts and arrangements of that mirage.

A large number of mortals serve as the source of power for the seven emotions and six desires, while a large number of cultivators serve as the tools for power transformation. Only such a perfect cycle can allow the Mirage Realm to continuously grow.

Having discovered the method for growth in the mirage realm, Su You was in a very pleasant mood.

"Now that we're already here, let's test the limits of the power this mirage can withstand." Su You's mental energy spread out wildly, immediately touching the barrier at the edge of the mirage.

The mirage realm of that fifth-tier mirage dragon is incredibly stable inside. To escape, one must start from the border area, but that area is not only protected by a large amount of mirage energy, but also has solid barriers. Without sufficient strength, it is impossible to break through.

Now he wanted to test the limits of the power that the Mirage Barrier controlled by the twin clones could withstand.

In the mirage realm, besides that special power, there is another power that can be used: the power of the soul itself. If one masters the relevant secret techniques, it can still be used.

Therefore, if Su You were to throw the soul of a powerful enemy into the room without any precautions, the enemy could easily escape.

Of course, enemies who are captured and escape the Mirage Realm rarely have a good ending, unless they are souls at the Nascent Soul stage, in which case they might have the ability to survive in the real world for a period of time.

Other souls would disappear in the outside world in the shortest time, even those at the Golden Core stage, and even a single soul could not last more than a quarter of an hour.

There are also special places or techniques that allow the soul to survive in the outside world.

This is also the origin of ghosts. In places containing a lot of yin energy, souls often do not disappear quickly. Instead, they absorb the yin energy and become more concentrated, thus becoming ghosts or similar creatures.

Soul Piercing!

Breath of the Soul!

Once he started fighting, Su You showed no mercy whatsoever; even if the mirage was destroyed, it could be reassembled.

Moreover, he is testing the limits of the power that the Mirage Realm can withstand, so that he can make a judgment on what souls he puts in in the future and will not send overly powerful souls into it.

The two mental attacks struck the barrier, causing a massive shockwave.

However, the barrier above remained as solid as a mountain.

"It seems we're just a little short," Su You concluded.

Previously, inside the Mirage Dragon's Mirage Realm, no matter how hard he attacked, he couldn't even stir up a ripple in the barrier.

However, this place can generate tremendous turmoil, and the difference between the two is still quite large.

Without hesitation, Su You burned his soul, making his spiritual power even stronger. In quantitative terms, it was roughly equivalent to the spiritual level of a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator.

The enhanced mental power, combined with the secret technique of mental attack, directly broke through the barrier of the mirage.

"Mid-stage Golden Core? Not bad." Su You nodded in satisfaction.

He couldn't possibly obtain a Golden Core level soul in a short time, and the current Mirage Realm was simply too small to accommodate many cultivators. He would have to take it one step at a time, slowly introducing more powerful souls.

Su You waited quietly inside until his mental energy dissipated and his soul slowly dissipated.

After Su You's soul completely disappeared, the twin clones suddenly appeared in the mirage.

"The Mirage Realm actually absorbed a bit of soul power just now?" Su You was filled with surprise.

its not right!
Su You had already tested this experiment in the Mirage Realm, where souls dissipated within it, but the Mirage Realm simply couldn't absorb them.

but now……

His senses were correct; the mirage had undergone an unusual change, becoming more condensed and more realistic. Although it was only a tiny bit, it was indeed a real phenomenon.

You should know that the scenes he saw in the mirage before were just real illusions created by the mirage energy.

In the mirage realm of the Mirage Dragon, everything that is seen is a real scene, indicating that the world inside is a real soul world that transforms from illusion to reality.

Now he has also found a way to evolve.

"A truly perfect cycle? I really don't know how this mirage dragon came up with the idea of ​​constructing such a world?" Su You couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration.

The seven emotions and six desires are absorbed from mortals and then transformed by cultivators. Every time power is used, it helps the mirage world evolve.

After a cultivator dies, the power within their soul can be absorbed by the Mirage Realm, making the Mirage Realm real.

It can be said that this is a perfect cycle, and there is no need to worry about it. As long as enough souls are provided, the mirage can develop and evolve on its own.
