The Professional Rankings, in twelve volumes, each bearing the name of my lord.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am currently located on the outskirts of the Cloud Mountain Illusion."

Now, we are riding on Captain Yue Sheng's mount.

Because the area below is shrouded in dense fog, even the monsters are high-level elite monsters, and there are also creatures from restricted areas roaming around, making it extremely dangerous.

As you can see, there is a beam of light rising from the ground and shooting into the clouds ahead.

The appearance of this beam of light signifies that the illusionary realm has entered its open period.

At the same time, it is also the entrance to the illusion.

The diameter of this beam of light is shrinking every day, and when it disappears completely, it means the opening hours have ended.

We also used this to estimate the opening hours...

On Ziyuan's back, three staff members from official media outlets were working diligently.

The recent graduates looked down.

Everyone was amazed when they saw the white beam of light piercing through the mist and clouds.

The beam of light, now exceeding 500 meters in diameter, was spectacular and dazzling.

"Old buddy, no need to go down, just hover at the edge of the pillar of light."

Upon hearing this, Zi Yuan, who was using his dragon whiskers to entangle himself with European and American magazines, squinting and baring his teeth as he flipped through them, reduced his flight speed and slowly approached the pillar of light.

Professionals can enter the illusion from any part of this beam of light.

This means that as long as you can fly, you don't need to enter the dangerous dense fog below.

Yue Sheng faced the crowd and spoke solemnly.

"The purpose of the trial is to broaden one's horizons; do not be greedy for small gains and lose sight of the bigger picture."

Once you enter the illusion, the only way to leave is to return to the portal you entered through.

No other escape tool can possibly get you out of the illusion.

The inside and outside of the illusion are completely isolated, and electromagnetic wave signals cannot be transmitted.

Life is only once, so please cherish it, everyone!

If you don't want to participate in the trial, it's not too late to withdraw now.

Of course, no one would back out at a time like this.

The number of illusions is not small globally, but when spread across each city, the number is small, and many cities have no illusions around them.

The Cloud Mountain Illusionary Realm has only appeared in the last two years.

No one wants to miss a chance to enter the illusion.

"Since no one's backing out, then jump in yourself."

Yuwen Hao, who was standing in the front row, was surprised.

"Are we just going to jump in like that? It's at least a thousand meters high, isn't it?"

One of Zi Yuan's whiskers floated over, bound Yuwen Hao, and threw him inside.

"Just go in, no need for all the nonsense! Remember to get plenty of resources for Master Long when you come out, hehehe~~"

"ah--"

Yuwen Hao screamed as he fell into the pillar of light.

Without further hesitation, the others jumped in.

Amidst the strange roars of his clones, which only he could hear, Song Gua also jumped into the illusion.

"Olalalala~~ Illusion! The grandpas are here!"

"Robbing money, robbing food, robbing women!!"

"Isn't it said that we can't act recklessly? We should be more civilized."

"Civilized robbery of money, food, and women!!"

"Since it's a martial arts world, the technology must be very backward. What if we went in and invented glass..."

"How about we build another steam engine?"

"Shall we tinker with the gunpowder again?"

"Rebirth: Climbing the Tech Tree in a Martial Arts World?"

"Bookstores are being smashed!"

Behind Ziyuan, the Minister of Education rubbed his arms together.

This is at an altitude of 1,000 meters, where the temperature is very low.

"Captain, the children have all gone inside. Pang Liang and Lin Ruqing won't bring them out for three days. Let's go back now."

Yue Sheng gently patted Zi Yuan's dragon horns.

"Get out of here."

The Minister of Education panicked.

"Go down? What are you going down for, Captain? It's a dense fog zone down there, and there are restricted areas nearby. It's very dangerous."

"I know my experience fatigue is over, it's time to go to the forbidden zone to level up."

The Minister of Education and several media personnel panicked; they are not combat professionals.

The vice chairman of the Yunshan City Professionals Association smiled and said, "Captain, don't tease them. Don't worry, I'll take you back."

The vice chairman summoned his mount, a large bird of the eagle-like species. Although it was not as big as Zi Yuan, it could easily carry four or five people.

……

Inside the Cloud Mountain Illusion, on the edge.

Illusions are incomplete worlds, and the lower the Federation's rating of an illusion, the smaller its internal space.

The Cloud Mountain Illusionary Realm is only of Rank F. Its interior space consists of only one city and an area of ​​several tens of kilometers around it.

Song Gua and his group appeared thirty kilometers outside the city, in front of a huge, glowing portal.

Because they jumped at different times, they walked out of the door one after another.

The first to step into the illusion was naturally Yuwen Hao.

"Is this an illusion?"

Yuwen Hao stepped on the soft grass, smelled the earthy fragrance in the air, and gazed at the distant horizon.

"It feels no different from outside."

Song Gua's voice came from behind him.

"Look back."

"What's wrong?"

Yuwen Hao turned his head and looked behind him. There was no grass, no distant view, no sky, only a patch of light that stretched across the sky and earth, flowing like a waterfall.

"W-what is this?!"

"The end of the world, or rather, the end of the illusion."

"Huh? Wouldn't people from this world find it strange if they came here?"

Lin Ruqing stepped out of the portal and said.

"No, you can treat the people living in the illusion, or other intelligent beings, as NPCs."

They all lived within predetermined life trajectories.

Even if they reach the edge of the world, it won't seem strange, nor will they disappear.

You can think of it this way: they went to a region that 'hasn't been loaded yet,' but we can't see it; it's actually still evolving.

After everyone came out, Lin Ruqing gathered them together and explained some precautions.

"Although the Cloud Mountain Illusion is an F-level illusion, we should not let our guard down."

First, we should respect local customs; everyone should have prepared their clothes in advance.

The Cloud Mountain Fantasy Realm is a martial arts world.

Therefore, everyone prepared a set of ancient costumes.

Everyone simply put their period costumes over their equipment.

The ancient costumes were loose enough that even students wearing heavy armor only looked more robust in them, without appearing too out of place.

"Junior Song Gua, is your outfit... even considered ancient costume?"

Song Gua was wearing an orange training uniform with a large "Gua" character on the back.

Song Gua tied his blue belt and said.

"Hmm... how can it not count?"

Ma Feng sneered, "Are you trying to become a Super Saiyan?"

Song Gua ignored him.

He dressed like this because it wouldn't be convenient for his clones to wear bandit attire if he used them in the illusion.

To make the trials more meaningful for recent graduates.

During these three days, no one else is allowed to enter the Cloud Mountain Illusion Realm—moreover, there is a limit to the number of people allowed in the illusion realm. No more than one hundred professionals can enter such an F-level illusion realm at the same time.

Since no outsiders have come in, isn't it strange that bandits have appeared here?

Those with ulterior motives might suspect that these students somehow managed to smuggle it in.

Wang Miao was still investigating with all his might, and Song Gua did not want himself and the bandits to appear in his field of vision at the same time again.

Therefore, Song Gua wanted to order more than two hundred identical sets of ancient costumes.

As a result, they didn't accept the order.

Then he'd have to do it himself. It's just operating a sewing machine, which he's familiar with.

Ancient costumes are too complicated, require a lot of fabric, and are too slow to make.

This outfit, on the other hand, is much simpler to make.
