Chapter 1017 Stepping into Illusion (Please Subscribe and Vote)

Led by Loulan Peak, the two arrived in the sky above the planet.

Here, in a place away from the sun, only a ray of sunlight shines through the planet's surface, revealing a gigantic gate standing in this void.

A huge crowd gathered in front of the gate, including many of those who had been granted the title of deity.

"This is the gate to the Sea of ​​Illusion, which is under the control of my Loulan family. I have already sent the information about the Sea of ​​Illusion to your mail. Some of the information contains hidden rules that my Loulan family has summarized over the generations."

Loulan Peak whispered to Su Ping: "In the Sea of ​​Illusion, remember to stay true to yourself. Everything inside is an illusion, designed to make you sink into it."

"Hmm." Su Ping nodded, and at the same time, he sent a wisp of his consciousness into the virtual world, where he immediately saw an email in his Star Mail.

As he approached, Su Ping browsed through the secret documents inside the Star Mail.

During the previous ceremony, a member of the Loulan family who was conferred the title of God mentioned the Sea of ​​Illusion, but only briefly introduced it without going into too much detail. It is a space that exists outside the ninth layer of the universe, but not the tenth layer of the universe. The Federation has confirmed this, and it is said that a Supreme Being personally tested it.

Within the Sea of ​​Illusion dwell the Illusory Spirits, special energy beings that feed on the emotions of living beings.

Su Ping slowly perused the secret documents. The Loulan family was indeed very sincere. The emails mentioned many strange and unusual things and summarized some survival rules.

"By relying on emotions, one can attract these illusory demonic spirits, and by devouring these spirits, one can strengthen one's willpower..."

"Fear is what demons love most."

"Using fear to isolate and attract demons, one can control them at will and use them as bait."

"Demons can transform into various forms, and it takes a strong will to distinguish between demons and illusions..."

"The depths of the Sea of ​​Illusion are forbidden, filled with chaotic storms and strange sounds that can lead one astray. If you hear any unusual sounds, you must flee immediately..."

Su Ping kept flipping through the emails, silently memorizing their contents.

"This is the dead egg of an ancient whale, which has been decomposed and refined into a special treasure by a civilization from an ancient era. Wearing it can help you strengthen your will and make you less susceptible to intimidation and deception."

Lou Lanfeng pushed a black box towards Su Ping and said in a low voice, "Su, please be very careful inside. The patriarch has also sent a consul to go in and protect your safety."

Su Ping took the black box and felt a cool aura inside: "Patriarch, you're too kind."

"That's how it should be."

Loulan Peak smiled.

Su Ping did not refuse the Loulan family's offer. He knew that even if he refused, the Loulan family would probably send someone to protect him secretly. After all, this was the Loulan family's territory. If something happened to him inside, and the God Venerable held him accountable, the Loulan family would inevitably have to bear some of his anger. Moreover, the Loulan family had placed a heavy bet on him and did not want to see anything happen to him.

As the two were talking, the Gate of Illusion opened, and people began to enter.

"Although this Sea of ​​Illusion is dangerous, obtaining some of the demon spirits within it would greatly help improve one's willpower. Unfortunately, these demon spirits can only be hunted and absorbed within it, and cannot be retrieved. The Federation has not yet mastered a way to seal and retrieve these things..." Lou Lanfeng sighed.

If they could retrieve the sealed gate, then for the Loulan family, controlling such a gate would be tantamount to controlling the key to wealth.

At that moment, a figure appeared in the distance.

Upon seeing this, Lou Lanfeng quickly led Su Pingfei over and said, "Consul Tan."

This was a voluptuous noblewoman, dressed with great poise in designer casual wear, a watch on her fair wrist, and an eye-catching purple gemstone necklace around her neck. She turned her head and saw Loulan Peak, and also saw Su Ping. She glanced at Su Ping briefly and said, "The patriarch sent me to protect Venerable Su."

Lou Lanfeng nodded and smiled, "I've already received the notification."

He turned to Su Ping and said, "This is Consul Tan, who will protect you. She is proficient in the spiritual realm and once tamed a divine dragon beast using her spiritual power. If you encounter danger inside, she will help you escape in time."

Su Ping sensed the faint pressure emanating from this beautiful woman, a pressure far stronger than that of ordinary God-Consecrating beings. He said very politely, "Then I'll trouble Consul Tan."

"I can only guarantee your safety, I can't help you hunt down demons. Once inside, don't stray too far from me," Consul Tan said calmly. She was reluctant to be assigned to protect Su Ping. Although Su Ping had great potential, the bottleneck she faced was breaking through to the Heavenly Lord realm. At this point, connections and resources were no longer important to her.

Therefore, she has little interest in social activities.

She wouldn't have taken on this task if it weren't for the family's appointment. After all, even when the top geniuses in the family asked her to take care of them, she couldn't be bothered with them.

"Um."

Su Ping nodded.

As Loulan Peak explained in the information, demon spirits are energy beings that appear directly at the level of consciousness, just like thoughts appearing in your mind. He can see demon spirits, but others cannot. Therefore, even if elders accompany him, they cannot help him hunt them; he can only rely on himself.

However, the advantage of elders taking care of younger people is that they can sense the fluctuations in the younger people's consciousness and react to the other person's combat situation through these fluctuations. If they encounter danger, they can pull them out of the battle in time and get them away from the area where the demon is located.

"Stand still."

"That's what Consul Tan said."

She extended a jade-like finger and gently pressed it against Su Ping's forehead. Accompanied by the fragrance of her fingertip and the cool, soft pad of her finger, Su Ping felt as if something had entered his mind, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"What is this?" Su Ping asked, wary and puzzled.

"This is my mental technique. It leaves a trace of my will in your mind. If you encounter a critical situation, it will appear to resolve it for you. At the same time, it will also allow me to sense your location at any time. I will deactivate it after we emerge from the Sea of ​​Illusion. You don't need to worry," Consul Tan said calmly.

Su Ping suddenly realized what was happening and didn't say anything more.

After leaving the Sea of ​​Illusion, he also needs to return to the Divine Court. If anyone has done anything underhanded to him, he can ask Elder Yan for help in checking.

As the two spoke, more and more people entered the sea of ​​illusion.

Su Ping saw that Liu Sheng Fu Tu and Lillian were also among them, and each of them was accompanied by a figure with the aura of a God-Sealing Realm expert.

In addition, he also saw some faces in the Loulan family's holy land, such as Hai and Loulan Lin, both of whom were accompanied by deities.

"It's the calm season in the Sea of ​​Illusion right now, so there are more people here," Lou Lanfeng said to Su Ping with a smile. "But you don't need to worry. Once you're inside, you won't be able to sense them, and they won't be able to sense you either, unless you and Consul Tan have made preparations in advance, in which case you can sense each other."

"Moreover, there's no way to fight each other inside, unless it's during the Black Tide period when all consciousnesses break out of the body... But in that situation, let alone fighting, there's no time to even escape."

Su Ping had seen these aspects described in the materials and nodded slightly.

The slack tide is a relatively calm period in the Sea of ​​Illusion, which occurs once every few hundred years. The exact timing is impossible to estimate and can only be predicted and analyzed by the Federation's AI in real time, which can be done about three months in advance.

The Black Tide period is an extremely dangerous time, during which the number of demons and spirits increases exponentially, the environment becomes extremely harsh, and all sorts of strange things happen.

By this time, most of the people in front had already gone inside, and Consul Tan said, "Let's set off too."

Su Ping nodded.

"Good luck to you two!" Lou Lanfeng waved his hand and laughed.

Consul Tan flew straight there, and Su Ping waved to Lou Lanfeng and followed closely behind. The two arrived at the huge gate, and some onlookers immediately recognized Su Ping, but no one was surprised. It was perfectly normal for a prodigy like Su Ping to want to enter the Sea of ​​Illusion.

Consul Tan greeted the Loulan family's deification master at the door and then led Su Ping inside.

As soon as he passed through the enormous door, Su Ping felt as if he were passing through a thin membrane. It seemed that there was an invisible membrane inside the door, which was quite cool and soft like seawater. As he stepped in, his whole body was enveloped in it. At the same time, Su Ping suddenly saw that the scene in front of him had changed. It was no longer the darkness behind the door, but a strange starry sky.

One half of the starry sky is dazzling, with countless stars shining, while the other half is dark and desolate, like a barren dead zone.

Su Ping felt as if his body was weightless, unable to fly. He was automatically flying forward with the gravity of the surrounding universe, and the bright light shining from the stars slowly pulled him towards them.

Su Ping turned his head and looked around, but did not see Consul Tan, who had come in with him.

He recalled the information Loulan Peak had given him: the Sea of ​​Illusion was an extremely special place for interstellar trials, also known as a place for personal cultivation.

Even with elders present, they cannot perceive anything inside. The only things they can perceive are themselves, the demon spirits, and illusions that interfere with their consciousness.

"She should be by my side and able to sense me. This place has far less interference with the Conferred God Realm." Su Ping wasn't nervous, gazing at the dazzling starry sky before him: "The information says that the Sea of ​​Illusion is empty, and everyone sees something different. So, these star rivers before us are also empty."

"Hallucinations originate from the subconscious mind. Is this the world in my subconscious?"

"No, this kind of doubt will interfere with consciousness. Self-doubt cannot occur here."

Su Ping looked around, trying to conjure up images of plains and land, but the starry sky in front of him did not appear. At that moment, Su Ping suddenly felt a suction force. In another dark starry sky, a brilliant arc of light suddenly appeared, red and gold, but it disappeared in an instant. It was the afterglow of a planet being swallowed up!

A massive black hole is rotating towards this place, and the force pulling the body in is getting stronger and stronger!

Su Ping's expression changed slightly. If one were truly drawn into the black hole, even a god would be unable to withstand it, and a single misstep could cost them their life.

"This must be an illusion." Su Ping stared intently at the rotating black hole, constantly telling himself it was an illusion, but the feeling of being sucked in was extremely real. He could feel himself moving rapidly, the surrounding galaxy spinning, the black hole getting bigger and bigger, and his vision becoming somewhat distorted. Gradually, sharp and huge teeth grew out of the black hole!

It was an unimaginably gaping, blood-red maw!

Su Ping's pupils constricted as he suddenly realized what was happening. He quickly made a move, unleashing a sword light.

But the sword energy dissipated and disintegrated after traveling hundreds of feet.

As the gigantic, dark maw drew ever closer, the hairs on Su Ping's body stood on end. He was certain that what lay before him was a demon spirit, and an extremely powerful one at that.

"Here, star power and rules are useless; only spiritual power is the only thing to rely on."

Black light appeared in Su Ping's eyes. As the giant maw approached, the hair on his body suddenly froze. A strong killing intent was released from the bottom of his heart. His willpower condensed into a sword, transforming into a long sword as dazzling as the Milky Way. It swept across the entire starry sky and with a bang, cleaved the black hole's maw!

At the moment of the explosion, Su Ping heard a piercing scream, but he also roared, suppressing the scream.

Soon, the starry sky disappeared, and the surroundings were hazy. Only the corpse of a black behemoth, tens of meters long, lay there, its upper body split open, flowing with smoke-like 'blood'.

The corpse resembled a giant whale, but its head had sharp, long, seaweed-like spines, like tentacles.

"This is... the Owl Demon Spirit!"

Su Ping's pupils contracted slightly as he saw the demon spirit's body clearly. According to the information provided by Loulan Peak, this was an extremely powerful demon spirit, ranking at the A-level. Even Star Lords would have to avoid it, and only those at the God-Sealing Realm could fight it.

He had barely entered when he encountered an owl demon spirit.

"Wasn't it said that powerful demonic spirits would only be encountered in the depths of the Sea of ​​Illusion? But it also seems to mention that terrifying demonic spirits can occasionally be encountered in some peripheral areas, so we must not let our guard down. Am I just too lucky?"

Su Ping's eyes were solemn. With a thought, he raised his hand and grabbed, and his palm seemed to split open a huge mouth, swallowing the demon spirit in front of him. Soon, Su Ping felt an extremely cool sensation rush into his mind. His thinking became incredibly sharp, his consciousness became incredibly calm, and all aspects of his perception were greatly enhanced.

The hazy world before him became much clearer, and the surrounding clouds seemed to have dispersed considerably, revealing a figure in the distance.

Su Ping assumed it was Consul Tan, who was traveling with him, and walked forward. He saw that the figure was extremely graceful and stunningly beautiful, and it looked somewhat familiar. His clothes and appearance seemed to be familiar to him.

"Not Consul Tan, that's strange..."

Su Ping's eyes flickered. He shouldn't be seeing anyone else here; this must be an illusion.

At this moment, the figure slowly walked forward. Although it walked very slowly, it disappeared into the distance very quickly. Su Ping stared intently as the surrounding mist gradually dissipated. The figure suddenly stopped, turned around slightly, and a stunningly beautiful blonde face appeared. It was Joanna!

Su Ping was somewhat surprised, then puzzled: "A hallucination comes from the depths of my mind. How could I see Joanna here? Could it be that I subconsciously have some kind of feeling towards her? Impossible, I wouldn't be such a beastly boss!"
