A journey through immortal realms begins with a phantom tale.

"Brother Yi, step back a little," Li Qiang said.

Yi Jun's face immediately darkened with displeasure, and he demanded, "Are you trying to teach me how to do things?"

At this moment, Luo Cheng spoke directly: "Get out of here."

"Okay," Yi Jun replied.

Li Qiang was speechless. He had tried to persuade the old man with kind words, but the old man wouldn't listen. Luo Cheng cursed at him, and the old man listened instead.

Yi Junsha also realized that the aura emanating from him was too powerful and had already affected the spirit body.

Seeing this, Luo Cheng said to Li Qiang, "Junior brother, why don't you go and talk to her?"

In fact, the moment Luo Cheng saw the spirit, he guessed that she must be Li Qiang's younger sister, Gu Meier, the future Grand Master of the Spirit Realm. In terms of charisma, Li Qiang was superior, so it was most appropriate for him to communicate with Meier.

Luo Cheng and Yi Jun watched from afar.

After a while, Yi Junsha got bored and said, "You guys play, I'm going to wander around." He was really annoyed. He had finally come out and wanted to find the Buddhist disciples to take revenge, but he couldn't see a single person.

As a wandering immortal, he could leave at a moment's notice. In a flash, he vanished without a trace.

Luo Cheng was not worried about this. Although the formation in this place was powerful, it was not enough to harm a rogue immortal.

Li Qiang was very patient. He talked with Gu Meier for a long time, not only finding out her name but also gradually calming her down. In the end, Li Qiang even prepared to set up a protective formation for Gu Meier to ensure her safety.

Luo Cheng simply watched quietly, without saying a word.

In the end, Gu Meier was moved by Li Qiang's sincerity. She knew in her heart that this was her chance. Staying in this dark and gloomy place was not only boring and tedious, but if she were discovered by a wicked cultivator, she would be captured and forced to forge weapons.

Next, Li Qiang took out some treasures to help Gu Meier condense her spiritual body and improve her cultivation. It must be said that Li Qiang's patience and sincerity are truly admirable.

After Gu Meier had reconstituted her spiritual body, Luo Cheng finally spoke, "Junior brother, shouldn't we be going?"

"well."

Gu Meier was somewhat afraid of Luo Cheng.

Li Qiang quickly said, "This is my senior brother, don't be afraid."

"Hmm." Hearing that it was Li Qiang's senior brother, Gu Meier's fear lessened a bit.

Li Qiang asked, "By the way, where's Brother Yi?"

"He's a wandering immortal; he can go wherever he wants."

"A rogue immortal?" Gu Meier was shocked. She wasn't like Li Qiang, a complete novice in cultivation who knew nothing about it.

Gu Meier loved reading and knew what a Loose Immortal was in the cultivation world—the pinnacle of cultivation, possessing the title "Immortal" and even more powerful than a Mahayana cultivator. At this moment, Gu Meier was grateful to have met Li Qiang.

Luo Cheng observed the formation for a moment, then continued forward with Li Qiang. Unlike Li Qiang, who dared to venture into the Star Palace, the Immortal Array, and even the Buddhist Ruins without any knowledge of formations, Luo Cheng was completely different. To be honest, Li Qiang's survival until now was largely due to luck.

Gu Meier, perched on Li Qiang's shoulder, watched Luo Cheng display his skills and exclaimed in amazement, "Brother, his mastery of formations is so high!"

"Of course, that's my senior brother."

In Mei'er's heart, her brother is still the most amazing.

"Mei'er, you're mistaken. It's me who's inferior to my senior brother. You don't know, he reached the Nascent Soul stage in less than ten years."

"Oh my!" Mei'er was stunned. Reaching the Nascent Soul stage in less than ten years was simply beyond her imagination.

After a long while, Gu Meier asked, "Was your senior brother a reincarnated cultivator?"

"No." Li Qiang was certain of this. He had heard Fu Shan say that Luo Cheng was just an ordinary person on Blue Star. If he hadn't been reincarnated and cultivated again, the word "genius" wouldn't even be enough to describe Luo Cheng.

Luo Cheng laughed and said, "You don't know yet, do you? Your brother has cultivated from a complete novice to the current Nascent Soul Realm in less than ten years."

Mei'er said happily, "I knew it, brother is the best."

The three of them walked and talked, which made Mei'er less timid and more cheerful.

Luo Cheng surveyed the situation and told Li Qiang to stop, saying, "If I'm not mistaken, we're ahead of the Great Illusionary Buddha Realm, the most terrifying illusionary array in the Buddhist ruins." Luo Cheng didn't release his divine sense; in this place, releasing it would trap him in the illusionary array. He instructed Li Qiang, "Junior brother, don't release your divine sense, and don't go any further."

"An illusion array?" Li Qiang asked, both curious and cautious. Clearly, after suffering a loss at the Star Palace, he knew that things in the cultivation world were not to be trifled with.

Luo Cheng stood there for a while, then said, "It seems that Yi Jun Sha has already fallen into the illusion array."

"Have even the wandering immortals fallen into this trap?" Gu Meier was shocked.

Luo Cheng said, "What are scattered immortals? Even true immortals would get trapped in this place if they didn't know how to break free." Luo Cheng knew something about the origin of this place.

Li Qiang was somewhat worried about Yi Junsha. After all, they had spent some time together, and he had come to regard Yi Junsha as a friend. This was Li Qiang's personality; he cared about his friends, which was why he was able to make friends, and his friends were willing to help him. Luo Cheng felt that he could not learn this ability.

Luo Cheng said, "He's not in immediate danger, but he'll be in danger if no one helps him."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's get him out."

Luo Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Junior brother, I remember you have a bead."

"Is this it?" Li Qiang liked to collect strange and unusual things, and this Illusionary Demon Pearl was something he obtained by chance.

Luo Cheng said, "With this Illusionary Demon Pearl, we can break the illusion array."

"What should we do?"

Luo Cheng thought it best to let Li Qiang try this illusion array, as it could enhance his mental cultivation. So he said, "Go straight in."

"Okay!" Li Qiang trusted Luo Cheng completely, and he also valued his friends highly. After responding, he stepped directly into the illusion array.

"How did I get home?" After entering the illusion array, Li Qiang found that the scenery around him had changed, and he had actually returned to Earth.

Luo Cheng stood beside the illusion array, unsure of what Li Qiang would experience. He simply sighed, "Unfortunately, this kind of illusion no longer affects me."

Luo Cheng's realm is too high. He has already grasped the true meaning of using illusion to cultivate truth and illusion to cultivate illusion. Moreover, his sixth consciousness has been cultivated to a perfect state. His mind is like a clear mirror or a crystal ball, able to reflect all things, and his mind is unshakable. This is an extremely high realm, so Luo Cheng is not affected by the illusion.

Originally, Luo Cheng really wanted to enter the illusion array to experience life, but unfortunately, he didn't have the chance.

After a while, the illusion array broke, and Li Qiang stood there, panting heavily, looking quite unsettled. For a Nascent Soul cultivator to be in such a state, it was clear that Li Qiang had encountered great difficulty within the illusion array.

On the other side, Yi Junsha had disheveled hair, a flushed face, and a dazed look in his eyes.

"Phew." Yi Junsha let out a long breath, calmed himself, and saw Luo Cheng's calm expression. He asked, "Did you break the illusion array?"

"I didn't break it, my junior brother did."

Mr. Yi looked completely bewildered.

Of the three, only Luo Cheng was in the best condition.

Luo Cheng said, "Actually, I also wanted to experience the illusion array and use it to improve my state of mind, but unfortunately, this illusion array is too low-level and can no longer affect my state of mind."

"I..." Yi Jun wanted to curse. He felt that Luo Cheng's words implied that his cultivation level was too low and that he was still susceptible to illusions. Similarly, Li Qiang was speechless; these words were really too hurtful.

Luo Cheng smiled and said, "Senior Immortal, you should practice your cooking more."

Yi Junsha was displeased, but dared not attack Luo Cheng. In his eyes, Luo Cheng seemed strange.

"Huh?" Mei'er discovered a dried-up corpse and said, "This person seems to still be alive."

Yi Junsha landed beside the corpse, glanced at it, and said, "He used the Nirvana Technique to seal his six senses and enter a dormant state." This also made Yi Junsha wary. If they hadn't saved him, it wouldn't be long before he ended up like this corpse.

Luo Cheng said, "Junior brother, look at his hand, it has the core symbol of our Chongxuan Sect."

"This is a core disciple of the Chongxuan Sect." Li Qiang had originally planned to save the person, but after seeing the mark on the corpse's hand, he no longer hesitated and immediately began to help.

"Junior brother, you really are impatient."

"This is my fellow disciple."

With Li Qiang's help, the corpse recovered and transformed into a middle-aged man with white hair.

After recovering, the middle-aged man looked around warily, deeply shocked.

"A rogue immortal? So, it was a rogue immortal who saved me?" If an ordinary cultivator had saved him, he would have felt embarrassed, but if it was a rogue immortal, he would have thought it was normal.

Yi Jun, unwilling to claim credit for the rescue, coldly said, "I didn't save him; that little guy did. He's also a disciple of the Chongxuan Sect."

The white-haired Wu asked angrily, "Whose brother are you?"

"Fu Shan, Brother Fu."

"Hahaha." Wu Chen laughed loudly, "I am Fu Shan's guide."

Li Qiang then introduced Luo Cheng: "This is my senior brother, and also Brother Fu's disciple."

Wu Chen, with white hair, was momentarily stunned and asked, "Which of you is the core disciple?" Generally speaking, there is only one core disciple.

Li Qiang said somewhat embarrassedly, "I am a core disciple." He felt that as a core disciple, he was still using a foundation-building magic weapon to build his foundation, and his cultivation level was not as high as Luo Cheng's, so he was a little embarrassed.

Yi Junsha looked at Wu Chen's face and secretly chuckled. He said to him, "Little guy, let me tell you, this disciple that Fu Shan took in is a monster."

"What's so strange about it?"

"In less than ten years, he cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage."

Wu Chen blushed. He was also in the Nascent Soul stage and was Fu Shan's mentor. In other words, he had been cultivating for longer than Fu Shan, but his realm was the same as that of a junior disciple, which made him feel embarrassed.

Wu Chen's expression shifted several times before he sighed softly, "If I weren't trapped here, I would have already ascended to immortality."

Luo Cheng changed the subject: "By the way, this place also has many secrets and some remaining treasures."

When the topic of treasures came up, Mei'er's eyes lit up, and she began collecting the treasures on the ground.

Judging from the scene, many cultivators were trapped in the illusion array, eventually succumbing to exhaustion. Neither Wu Chen nor Yi Jun Sha had any interest in picking up the treasures on the ground.

Luo Cheng didn't possess a decent magical artifact yet, so he and Li Qiang collected storage treasures from the ground. During this time, Mei'er actually discovered several interesting treasures and excitedly presented them to Li Qiang.

After collecting everything, Luo Cheng looked at the void space in the middle of the illusion array. He knew that this place connected to the Buddhist realm and was an entrance to it.

Wu Chen said, "You were able to break the illusion array, so you must have the Great Illusion Buddhist Beads, right? With the Buddhist Beads, you can enter the Void Space."

"I have some." Li Qiang took out the large Buddhist prayer beads and prepared to hand them to Luo Cheng.

"Junior brother, you can take it."

"Senior brother, I don't understand formations, why don't you go and explore them?"

"You are the one destined for us."

Am I the one destined for us?

Luo Cheng said, "Junior brother, this Void Space is quite interesting. Go in and take a look; it will broaden your horizons."

"Isn't it dangerous?"

"No!"

"Then I'll give it a try." Li Qiang trusted Luo Cheng completely. After activating the Great Illusionary Buddha Beads, he entered the Void Space.

Luo Cheng asked Yi Junsha, "Want to go have some fun together?"

"I'm not going." Yi Jun felt a little guilty; the illusion he had just experienced had taught him a lesson.

Luo Cheng was also curious about the Void Space. After seeing Li Qiang enter, he took a step forward and followed him in.
