Starting with magical girls, I'll reign supreme for eternity.

Chapter 242 The Path of Cultivation in the Purple Mansion (5,000 words)

The General Administration, a place of mental imagery.

As magical girls return one after another, the number of magical girls in the Land of Hearts is also increasing.

Most people are curious about how many people can achieve mastery of the mental imagery domain.

The first one to emerge was Red Cotton, and as soon as she appeared, this magical girl showed a look of despair.

Undoubtedly, it was another failure.

"It's alright, Sister Hongmian! Look!" Iris pointed to a teary-eyed magical girl, "Zimo, she's already preparing for the eighteenth Trial of the Mind!"

The magical girl burst into tears upon hearing this.

Iris encouraged them strongly: "Sister Red Cotton, your success rate has reached 99.999%, you'll definitely succeed next time!"

Hongmian's face darkened:
"Go clean the toilets for three days!"

"No……"

Iris had just shouted something while covering her head when she saw the seven disciples of the Qingyun Sect coming out one after another.

The moment Yotsuba and Rokujo stepped out, the Iris Band choir nearby roared with excitement:

"Celebrate!"

Then a magnificent symphony began to play, leaving everyone present stunned.

"Wow, sister, we're just like the sect leader now!"

"Yotsuba, don't talk nonsense. We're far behind. Thank you everyone..."

The Land of the Mind is mostly a realm of memories and illusions, so it is of great significance to the two girls who possess the Great Forest Tree.

It couldn't be simpler.

Next, dandelion and thousand-needle grass came out one by one.

The two exchanged a glance, then snorted coldly and turned their heads away, neither looking at the other.

Next was Yinlian. Although she looked a little tired, she still managed a smile.

He even had time to wave and greet other people.

After looking around and finding that Coco hadn't come out, he showed a worried expression.

Once most of the people had come out, the remaining people stayed near the gate of the last two magical girls who hadn't managed to get out.

Therefore, Coco was startled when she came out of the realm.

Surrounded by magical girls, Ginkgo immediately hugged her, "Finally out, Coco! Did you succeed?"

Coco was startled, but immediately looked up with a smug smile. "It definitely worked!"

"You came out so late, I thought you were going to fail."

"How could that be? It's a piece of cake for me."

When she saw her parents, she did think she would fail.

Even knowing it's fake, I still want to spend more time with my family. On one hand, I'm enjoying these fake parents, and on the other hand, I'm on edge, trying to break free from the illusion.

Just when I was starting to feel completely disoriented.

The memory of the time the captain gave him inexplicably surfaced.

If my brother shows up...

So I persevered with all my might, because perseverance is victory!
Finally, I met my brother.

The result was that they took very affectionate and friendly care of her...

The illusion of the trial instantly dissipated.

In every respect, it was far inferior to the illusion the captain had arranged for her.

After experiencing the illusion orchestrated by the captain, I feel that the Land of Mental Images isn't all that impressive after all...

She would have come out long ago if she hadn't wanted to say something to her parents.

"When I went in, it turned out to be my sister..." Yiyi whispered, "She said I should use my mental imagery on Ziyuan for her sake..."

"So you successfully escaped the illusion?" Coco asked in a low voice as well.

"No, it was the aster in the illusion that burned my sister..."

"That's too much! I'll talk to Ms. Shion later."

"Really? What are you going to say to her?"

“I knelt down and begged her not to burn your sister so quickly.”

"cut……"

It seems everyone is seeing roughly the same things.

They are all people I care about a lot.

But actually, it didn't feel that difficult; she didn't understand why some people failed...

The red cotton tree over there had its head drooping.

She complained to her friend, "I can't remember anything after I went in..."

It's true that memory can be confused.

"Congratulations, Coco."

Jin Cha, who was standing next to her, asked, "What is your mental imagery domain like? Let's take a look."

Coco paused for a moment, then looked around. "This...this isn't a good way to proceed, is it?"

"It's alright," Jin Cha explained. "The environment here is quite unique."

As Jin Cha spoke, she first unfolded her mental imagery.

It was an open space filled with golden threads.

However, it was only compressed around the golden tea and did not spread out.

"You can compress the mental image to the vicinity of your physical body without any problems."

Upon hearing this, Coco immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Then the mental imagery unfolded.

Jin Cha immediately stepped back, because Coco's mental image was a sea of ​​fire.

An endless sea of ​​fire, spewing lava incessantly.

"This is my mental image."

Coco scratched her head. "I still don't understand how it works. Do you just drag it in and burn it with lava?"

She was actually a little guilty because her mental imagery domain contained nothing but fire.

Moreover, it's all ordinary fire, without any special abilities.

And it took so much effort...

"Well, we can study the realm of mental imagery slowly."

Jin Cha is actually a bit strange. Normally, someone who has just acquired the Mind Image Domain should know how to use it and its abilities.

It turns out Coco really didn't know anything.

This mental image seems quite ordinary; she can't think of any similar mental images.

Is it simply a matter of changing the environment?

This kind of ordinary fire seems to only be able to kill ordinary people; even a witch should be able to withstand it.

Silver Lotus over there also unfolded her mental image.

The imagery, however, did not surround or cover the anemones, but rather continued to spread alongside the cherry blossoms.

That's right, Yinlian's heart image is a cherry blossom tree.

But the process of cherry blossoms falling allows the imagery in one's mind to expand.

Coco stared wide-eyed, "Why is Silver Lotus's mental image different from ours?"

Jin Cha sighed and glanced back at Iris in the distance. "Didn't she introduce the Mental Imagery Realm to you?"

“She talked about so much back then, I probably don’t remember it all…” Coco scratched her head. “She talked about too much of her own things.”

Yinlian nodded repeatedly, "I don't have much knowledge of the mental imagery field at all."

Jin Cha sighed, then expanded her mental imagery again, explaining:

“The domain is divided into two ways: diffusion and replacement of personal mental images.”

"Coco and I use a substitution-type mental image. A substitution-type mental image directly replaces the space of the real world with one's own mental image field. It can pull people into the mental image field in an instant, giving them almost no time to react."

Silver Lotus immediately raised her hand, "Iris-senpai's is also a replacement type, right?"

"Correct."

Coco immediately understood. Back in the North Sea, she heard that when Iris-senpai unleashed her mental image, even Shion-sensei couldn't escape it.

This basically means that the replacement mental image is equivalent to a guaranteed hit.

Since even Shion-sensei couldn't escape it, it means that no one can escape it.

Just because you can't avoid it doesn't mean you can't open it.

"But diffusion is different."

Jin Cha pointed to Yin Lian's mental imagery domain, and the drifting cherry blossoms continued to spread the mental imagery domain, but at a slow speed.

“A spreading field takes time to expand, and the expansion speed is very slow. Generally speaking, if the opponent is too fast, it is very likely that the opponent will be able to escape.”

"Wait a minute, isn't diffusion-based technology pretty useless?"

Thousand Needle Grass, who had been listening the whole time, couldn't help but raise her hand, "With such a slow deployment speed, it's practically useless against powerful enemies!"

Without a doubt, she is also diffuse.

Yu Mo, standing next to her, chuckled smugly.

Because she is a substitute.

Our chances of winning have increased by another ten percent.

It's now eleven percent complete.

Jin Cha smiled and said, "Don't worry, although the replacement method is fast, once the replacement mental image is unfolded, it will completely close the mental image. Although it is difficult to break from the inside, it is easy to break if someone tries to destroy it from the outside."

Yu Mo couldn't laugh anymore.

Thousand Needle Grass has many spells, and it's not difficult to leave magic from the outside to break the mental image... "Moreover, in the process of the mental image domains expanding with each other, the replacement type cannot close the expanding mental image domain."

Jin Cha smiled slightly, "Do you know what this means?"

"This means that if both magical girls have mental images, even if the replacement mental image field catches the opponent first, it will eventually be destroyed from the outside by the expansion mental image due to the range of the expansion mental image."

Thousand Needle Grass raised an eyebrow and instantly gave her answer, "It has an absolute advantage."

"That's right. The only advantage of the replacement mental image is its speed. Once it is deployed, the opponent must be eliminated before the diffusion mental image can extend to the outside."

Jin Cha looked at Qianzhencao with some admiration; her reaction was too quick.

The magical girls of the Qingyun Sect are all incredibly talented, and then look at the ones from the Disaster Management Bureau…

Uh.

It can't be an education problem, can it?
As Jin Cha thought this to herself, listening to the thoughts of the magical girls around her, she continued, "The replacement method is an absolutely closed field, while the diffusion method is an open field. It's hard to say which one is better. After all, the replacement method has an absolute advantage when facing enemies without a field, while the diffusion method makes it easy to let the enemy escape, or even be kited."

After all, unfolding a mental image requires a lot of magic power, and once it is unfolded, the enemy cannot be captured.

It is a huge disadvantage.

The replacement mental imagery domain doesn't have this problem, since even Aster can't escape it.

This also means that in a battle between two magical girls from different mental realms, the one with the diffusion-like approach actually has no initiative.

You can only follow suit and unleash your own mental imagery if the opponent does so, and you must ensure that you do not lose before your own mental imagery spreads out.

However, in reality, if both sides are evenly matched, the opponent only needs to initiate a substitution-style mental imagery field first.

In the diffusion domain, there is an absolute advantage.

After explaining the characteristics of mental images, Jin Cha looked at the Seven True Disciples and asked, "Could you also expand your domains and take a look?"

"No, I don't want to leak information."

Yu Mo answered in this way.

Jin Cha nodded, "That's true, but sometimes there might be problems with the mental image, and it needs to be obtained again. So after you come out, it's best to unfold the mental image first to make sure there are no problems."

So Yu Mo, along with the Thousand Needle Grass, and the Four-Leaf and Six-Leaf Grass, first looked at the rock candy that had come out early in the morning.

Bing Tang, who was still playing with her hair, nodded and said, "Okay."

After she nodded, the other disciples then began to unleash their domains.

Within the realm of four or six leaves lies a bamboo forest.

As for the abilities involved, they naturally wouldn't bother to find out.

The dandelion is also very simple, just a valley of wind.

The Thousand Needles is more complicated, it's like a giant Hogwarts...

When everyone looked at Bing Tang, she just smiled and said, "I'll pass on mine."

Jin Cha didn't say anything more, only saying, "If it doesn't work out, come back next time it opens."

"Thank you."

While everyone was still getting to know their own mental image.

I don't know who it was, but suddenly someone asked that question.

"Where is the sect leader of the Qingyun Sect?"

Everyone looked toward the last door.

All the magical girls came out, even the failed Red Cotton, and the other magical girls who failed had already left.

Now, of all the magical girls who participated in the Mind Trial, only one remains who has not yet emerged.

"It can't have failed, can it...?"

I don't know who said it.

The Seven True Disciples immediately glared at them fiercely, and even Thousand Needles, who was usually quite gentle with the magical girls of the Disaster Management Bureau, showed a somewhat cold look.

Jin Cha immediately suppressed the chattering magical girls and quieted them down.

"Should we go and rest for a bit first?"

To be honest, Shion spent far too long inside.

It's not surprising that it failed despite its long history.

Most importantly, her personal reality is strange.

It's so strange that her memories alone are almost enough to construct a real world.

Jin Cha even sensed the fluctuations in space; was she no longer in the realm of her imagination?

On the one hand, it felt strange, and on the other hand, it felt uneasy.

If they really disappear, not to mention the Qingyun Sect members, if they start causing trouble, who can stop them...

Iris was now frantically spinning in circles, screaming, "How could this be? It can't be! How could this be? It can't be! How could this be? My nemesis has fallen? It can't be..."

In the background, the music that the Iris Band choir had been playing began to speed up in response to the uneasy atmosphere.

1x speed, 1.2x speed, 1.3x speed...

Thinking of stabilizing the situation first, and then slowly figuring out how to find the incubators of the magical kingdom to solve the problem.

"Everyone……"

However, the next second, the music suddenly became jarring and dull, as if it had been stretched out countless times, until it abruptly disappeared.

All the images froze.

Jin Cha was the first to sense the fluctuations in the space and immediately turned her head.

The result was that with just a turn of the head, the surrounding environment changed instantly!
"mental image,"

A surging sea and towering mountains.

Above the cloud-shrouded mountaintop, the sun shines directly overhead, its golden rays piercing through the clouds, casting countless rays of light.

Most importantly, there are rules that are completely different from those of this world!

It brought about an unusual sense of abnormality.

"Unfold".

When the last sentence was uttered, what should have been a closed mental image of replacement expanded again!

They even brought in the magical girls who were still watching from afar!

Jin Cha subconsciously wanted to expand her own territory.

Although when the opponent's territory expands outward, it will directly shatter one's own territory.

However, if you bring your mental imagery domain to your surroundings to form a simple protective shield, you can ensure that your mental imagery domain will not be broken in a short period of time.

However, this is not a long-term solution, because the fragmentation of the mental realm is also only a long-term solution.

But as soon as she unfolded it, Jin Cha discovered a problem.

My own mental image has disappeared.

Startled, Jin Cha immediately glanced at the other magical girls beside her.

Sure enough, everyone's mental imagery vanished at the same moment!
"Wait, why can't I use my magic?"

"What happened? What's going on...?"

Jin Cha discovered the problem; it wasn't a matter of magic or domain.

The problem lies in one's entire personal reality!
Moreover, this is not simply a matter of mental imagery!

She carefully observed her surroundings, listened to everything she could hear, over and over again, and finally discovered the problem.

This is different from other people's mental imagery domains.

This is the real world!
Moreover, it's a different world with different rules, very similar to the old world, but also different from it...

Because the rules of this world can actually suppress the magical girl's personal reality!
This is why they cannot develop their mental images, and even cannot use magic!

They have been suppressed by the rules of another world...

However, the Seven True Disciples simply knelt down in unison facing the mountain. Bing Tang took out a banner that had been prepared at some unknown time, unfurled it, and sent it flying into the sky.

Then, a sentence inexplicably echoed in the minds of the Qingyun Sect disciples.

And so, it was as if we were telepathically connected.

All the disciples followed the master's lead, bowing towards the mountain peak and offering their congratulations:

"Congratulations, Sect Master, the Purple Mansion is complete!"

"From now on, with the Great Dao in hand, the path to immortality will be smooth!"

"This world shall prosper!"

Only then did Jin Cha realize with surprise that the sun, located atop the mountain,

I pierced through the clouds and took a step down.

The light has all faded.

Then they saw the purple magical girl who had been trapped in the Land of Mental Images for a long time and had not come out. They even thought that she had failed the trial in the Land of Mental Images. She was walking down the mountain step by step.

With each step taken, the world expands once more.

Until all the magical girls lost their own personal reality!

Until that petite figure walked right in front of him!
Jin Cha was stunned. "How did you obtain this mental image?"

All mental imagery domains should be materialized by extracting a portion of abilities from one's own world, or at least related to one's own abilities. This mental imagery is completely different...

"Isn't it just about directly eroding a world with your personal reality, then taking a portion of that world and molding it into a mental image?"

Jin Cha couldn't hold back any longer:

"That's not the realm of mental imagery!"

Ziyuan raised her head slightly and said proudly, "Compressing the world into one's personal reality and creating a mental image, isn't that what it is?"

Jin Cha looked at the mental image that possessed both rapid capture through replacement and unlimited expansion capabilities in a diffused domain.

For a moment, they were speechless.

"That's right, it's not called the Mental Imagery Domain anymore."

Ziyuan stretched out her hand and suddenly clenched it!
"It should now be called [Purple Mansion]—"

The entire world collapsed, and all the magical girls in the Disaster Management Bureau instantly reverted to their transformation state!
"—【Taiyi Yin Yang Creation Cultivation Palace】!"

　There was nothing more to say, so I kowtowed, kowtowed, kowtowed, kowtowed, kowtowed... (bang ...
