Emperor Wu Shihuang's handwriting, do not go out of the Milky Way border

It stood there motionless, like a natural stone sculpture, motionless and without a trace of life or energy.

At this moment, its eyes, which were originally full of spirituality and agility, suddenly flashed with light, and then became as stiff as stone, without any trace of life or energy.

However, at this moment, the four of them were concentrating on trying various methods to enter this mysterious space, and they had no time to care about anything else and had no idea what to do.

But just when they were off guard, they suddenly felt that this mysterious space barrier seemed to have undergone a subtle change that was hardly noticeable.

However, before they could react, this seemingly indestructible space barrier disappeared without a trace in an instant.

All of a sudden, the four of them were caught off guard and all fell into it.

Fortunately, all four of them were highly powerful practitioners. At this critical moment, they reacted quickly, stood up in an instant with amazing speed, and stabilized their bodies.

This sudden change left the four of them dumbfounded, with faces full of shock and confusion, and they were completely at a loss.

The weasel was the first to exclaim:

"What the hell is going on? Why did he come in suddenly?"

Xiao Wu slowly recovered from his extreme shock, looked at the weasel with confusion, and asked puzzledly:
"Huang Daxian, could this mysterious change have anything to do with you? If even you can't solve this mysterious barrier, then we have no way or power at all.

Is there any other special way to solve this problem?"

Afterwards, Ye Qingyao saw that the three people's eyes were all focused on her at the same time, and she was speechless for a moment, and said helplessly:
"It had nothing to do with me. I really had no idea. I had no idea how it happened. It just opened up. I really didn't do anything."

Yan Zixia immediately expressed his position, saying that he was also unaware of the situation and did not do anything special.

Suddenly, the four of them felt a chill on their backs at the same time, as if something extremely terrible was about to happen. It felt as if a pair of mysterious eyes were staring at them from nowhere, causing a deep fear and uneasiness to surge up in their hearts.

At this moment, the weasel looked around vigilantly and said slowly:

“Forget it, since we have successfully entered here, let’s take it one step at a time.

At least for now, we have successfully overcome the first hurdle, and I hope the next situation will not be too bad."

Xiao Wu nodded slightly to show his agreement:
"Wong Tai Sin, I don't think the result will be so bad that it cannot be salvaged.

At least it won't be worse than if we were trapped outside forever and couldn't get in here forever."

Hearing this, the weasel nodded heavily and said seriously:

"Yes, what could be more desperate and painful than being trapped outside and unable to move forward? It's better to give it a try. Maybe there are some rare opportunities and turning points hidden in it."

Afterwards, the four of them moved forward together without hesitation, heading towards the mysterious ninth mountain.

Along the way, apart from the various flowers and plants that could be seen everywhere, there seemed to be nothing else strange and special, which made the four of them feel extremely confused and puzzled.

The weasel couldn't help but speak up at the first moment:
"This is really strange. Logically speaking, the defense of this ninth mountain is so tight, and there should be extremely precious treasures everywhere. Why do we only see a group of ordinary flowers and plants? Is there really nothing here?"

Ye Qingyao, Xiao Wu, and Yan Zixia looked around and shook their heads helplessly, indicating that they also knew nothing.

However, despite this, the four of them still maintained a high level of vigilance, carefully observing the movements around them, not daring to relax or be careless in the slightest.

They continued to move forward with determination and soon reached the foot of the mountain.

I saw that every tree here was towering into the clouds, like a giant standing tall.

The heights range from hundreds to thousands of meters, and some are even exaggeratedly three or four thousand meters high.

There were actually more than one such huge and terrifying towering trees. They stood there densely, forming a seemingly endless forest.

As they walked in the forest, they could only see scattered sunlight struggling to come in through countless dense gaps.

They continued to explore deeper into this mysterious forest, and the four of them were filled with doubts and confusion.

The deeper they went, the more surprised they felt.

Because they had been walking for so long, they didn't encounter any danger, nor did they find any special adventures, as if this was just an ordinary forest.

However, deep down in their hearts, they were unwilling to believe that it would be absolutely impossible for a tree to grow into such a tall and towering tree without tremendous power or abundant energy to support it.

The weasel immediately became alert and warned:
"Everyone, please be careful. You never know when or where some extremely terrifying being or ferocious monster might suddenly appear from anywhere."

Ye Qingyao was so frightened by the weasel's words that she trembled all over.

"Wow"

A scream came out.

Ye Qingyao was timid to begin with, and now she was frightened to the point of trembling all over. She quickly hid beside Yan Zixia, looking left and right, observing what was going on around her.

At the same time, the little dragon who had been standing on the top of the mountain was staring at the four people below.

His heart was already filled with joy, but in order not to reveal his whereabouts, he had been trying hard not to laugh out loud.

At the same time, my heart is full of expectations:

"Come on, come on."

He was fully expecting to play an exciting game of hide-and-seek with the four of them, just waiting to see if they could find his hiding place.

Time flies by like a fleeting moment.

In the blink of an eye, they had already walked in this mysterious place for nearly sixteen hours.

For these four powerful practitioners, such time and distance were not too difficult or long.

However, at this point, the four of them could not help but complain.

"Oh my god, is there an end to this place? We have been walking for so long, but we haven't seen any place to climb up the mountain. Could it be that this is not a mountain at all, but an endless plain? Or is there another possibility?

After all, we had circled around the eight mountains before, and each of them was towering and had no entrance at all.

This ninth mountain is most likely the only entrance, so they set up such a strong barrier to prevent us from going to other mountains?"

For a moment, the four of them fell into deep confusion and thought, and no one could give a definite answer.

Little did people know that this ninth mountain actually concealed a mysterious and powerful force.

This power can create realistic illusions, giving them the illusion that they will never reach the end.

In fact, from the moment they stepped in here, they have been standing there without moving.

However, the four of them were completely unaware of this and did not discover this shocking secret at all.

Xiao Wu continues to move forward with perseverance.

Finally, after walking for nearly five more hours, the four of them gradually realized that something was wrong.

Because no matter they choose to move forward or turn around and go back, they will find that there is no end at all.

More importantly, in order to avoid getting lost in this maze-like forest, they would leave clear marks wherever they passed.

But when they found that there seemed to be no end ahead and wanted to return the same way, they were surprised to find that all the marks they had left behind had disappeared without a trace.

The weasel looked at the huge tree in front of him and felt full of confidence.

Just three seconds ago, he had clearly scratched a deep mark on the tree, but at this moment, the mark disappeared out of thin air, without even a trace left.

He couldn't help but exclaimed:
"How is this possible? How could that trace suddenly disappear?"

The other three were also stunned by this sudden situation. They looked at each other, not knowing how to explain this strange phenomenon.

Ye Qingyao was so frightened that she couldn't help but scream:
"Is there really a ghost here? No way, no way."

The weasel shouted loudly at the first moment:
"Quiet, stop talking nonsense! What ghosts? Now we are all cultivators, so we naturally know that the so-called ghosts are just a collection of special energy.

With our current strength, we are fully capable of defeating it, and there is no need to be so afraid and worried.

There may be a mysterious and powerful force blocking our progress, but I don’t know exactly what it is.”

Xiao Wu frowned, full of doubts and confusion:
"It's really strange, I've always had a strong feeling that we seem to be going around in circles in a world with no end, or moving forward in a world that seems to have no end.

Once we choose to go back, we will magically return to our original position, as if everything we experienced before never existed.

I always feel that this is very similar to a spell called illusion that I once saw in an ancient book."

When the weasel heard the unfamiliar word "illusion", he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

It was the first time he heard this term. After Xiao Wu, Ye Qingyao, and Yan Zixia gave detailed explanations, he suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly, saying:
"Yes, yes, it is an illusion, it must be an illusion.

This is what I wanted to express just now. I think we may have already fallen into this mysterious illusion without realizing it, and have never found the real scene, so we have been spinning in circles.

We must do everything we can to get out of here as soon as possible."

Ye Qingyao's mind was full of question marks at the moment, and she said with a confused look:

"So that's how it is. I was wondering why I always felt something was wrong. Even when I was lying down, I could feel that there was something wrong with the spiritual energy around me."

Finally, the four decided to sit cross-legged, calm down, and think and discuss together how to solve this mysterious illusion.

The first method they thought of was to use powerful force to directly attack the opponent's body, trying to cause the spiritual power in both parties' bodies to collide with each other and produce a violent explosion or strong vibration, thereby awakening their own bodies from the illusion.

However, they failed as soon as they tried this method.

It’s just because in this illusory world, the energy they release is not threatening or aggressive at all.

This was originally a false world, so after their attacks hit each other's bodies, the spiritual powers here actually merged gently with each other, which was absolutely impossible under normal circumstances.

If it is not properly controlled, it may cause an explosion.

This is because they know very well that once the power comes into contact with another person's body, if it is not properly controlled, it will bring extremely terrible consequences.

At this moment, several people completely believed that they were in a mysterious and powerful illusion. Ye Qingyao shook his head helplessly and sighed:
"No wonder we can't reach the end. It turns out that we have been trapped in this terrible illusion for a long time."

Yan Zixia seemed even more worried and scared at this time:
"I found it very strange from the beginning. We clearly didn't find any effective way to break the mysterious space barrier on the fourth floor. Why did the space barrier suddenly disappear? Could it be that from that moment on, we have unknowingly stepped into this mysterious illusion?"

Xiao Wu nodded slightly and said thoughtfully:

“There is indeed such a possibility.

That mysterious barrier couldn't possibly disappear so easily, unless there was some unknown weirdness or secret in it.

Maybe this illusion is the most direct evidence and proof."

The weasel also nodded in deep agreement.

Although he did not know a lot of relevant knowledge and spells, this did not prevent him from making correct judgments based on his keen intuition and rich experience.

With the cultivation level of Earthly Immortal, he is undoubtedly the one with the most say and authority among the four at the moment.

Through his first-hand observation, analysis and judgment, as well as his own many bold attempts and tests, he was completely certain that they were in an extremely complex and powerful illusion, and everything they saw around them was false and unreal.

In this fantasy world, no matter how hard they try, they will never reach the end.

Only by successfully breaking through and finding a way to leave the illusion can there be a glimmer of hope. (End of this chapter)
