Before he had time to look around, he heard a low growl coming from behind him.

Gu Sheng looked back and saw a group of ferocious wild boar monsters rushing towards him.

There was a ferocious light flashing in their eyes, especially the two fangs, which were particularly creepy.

It was obvious that they regarded Gu Sheng as their prey.

Gu Sheng's heart tightened, knowing that this must be the illusion test in the "Searching for the Origin of the Heavenly Book".

But as soon as I entered the environment, I encountered so many monsters, so I had to explore their situation first.

Then, he immediately mobilized the Xuanhuang power in his body.

"Chichichi!"

Golden light burst out from his body.

At the same time, Gu Sheng mobilized his divine power.

At that moment, Gu Sheng was like a golden lightning, shuttling through the forest, avoiding the pursuit of monsters.

After several rounds, Gu Sheng had already figured out the details of these monsters.

Although they are ferocious, their abilities are average.

It can be said that they are just a group of wild boars that are slightly stronger than lower-level monsters.

They just look strong, but actually, they are not as strong as imagined.

“I never thought I’d be able to be a pig butcher in this life!”

Gu Sheng felt a little relieved and decided not to get entangled with these monsters anymore.

He took it with both hands and instantly took out his Fire Spirit Dagger.

"Whoosh!"

As the Fire Spirit Dagger appeared, the surrounding air seemed to become scorching hot.

The flame attached to the dagger seemed to have life, dancing and flickering at will.

Gu Sheng flashed and shuttled between the monsters.

"Shhhhh!"

After a fierce chopping, these wild boar-like monsters fell one by one.

The colleagues who fell all turned into wisps of green smoke and disappeared in the air.

"Tch! That's it?"

Gu Sheng said this with some disdain, then put away the Fire Spirit Dagger.

To be honest, it was only then that he began to look down on the illusion test of "Seeking the Origin of the Heavenly Book".

In his opinion, this illusion was nothing special, just some small monsters, nothing to be afraid of.

Then, he summoned his divine power, ready to leave the forest and look for the exit of the illusion.

But just as he turned around, a woman's voice suddenly came.

"Gu Sheng."

"Ok?"

Gu Sheng's heart was shocked.

He was very familiar with this voice, it was Ji Ziyue.

He turned his head and saw that it was indeed Ji Ziyue.

She was still wearing his favorite purple dress, standing under a tree not far away.

But there was a hint of anticipation and uneasiness in her eyes.

"Zi Yue? Why are you here?"

Gu Sheng asked, looking confused.

Ji Ziyue looked at Gu Sheng, and said with a little panic in her eyes: "I have been following you secretly, and only then did I come to this illusion of the heavenly book."

"Follow me?"

Gu Sheng was a little surprised.

I didn't expect Ji Ziyue to be following me all the time.

He frowned and asked, "Why are you following me?"

Ji Ziyue suddenly sobbed, "I was kicked out by the Ji family and have nowhere to go. You are the only one who treats me the best among all the people I know, so I followed you secretly, hoping that you can take me in, and we can travel around the world together and take revenge."

"This……"

Gu Sheng looked at Ji Ziyue's tearful eyes and couldn't help but feel a bit of sympathy in his heart.

But while feeling sympathy, Gu Sheng suddenly realized that this Ji Ziyue in front of him was created by an illusion?
After having this suspicion, Gu Sheng decided to give it a try.

"Then you can go to Taixuanmen to find Senior Li?"

Gu Sheng asked.

Ji Ziyue shook her head and wiped away her tears: "No, I'll go find Senior Li, but he's no longer in Zhuofeng. I'll go to other main peaks, but they won't take me in."

"what!"

Gu Sheng was stunned.

"Where did Senior Li go?"

Gu Sheng asked hurriedly.

"I don't know. No one told me. They all said that our Ji family was a scourge in the Southern Region and regarded me as a thorn in their side."

As Ji Ziyue spoke, tears fell down her face.

After this round of testing, Gu Sheng was basically certain.

The Ji Ziyue in front of him was similar to the one he knew.

He could conclude in his heart that this Ji Ziyue was really the Ji Ziyue who followed him.

"Okay, follow me first. We are in an illusion now. The most important thing is to get out of the illusion and obtain the "Searching for the Origin of Heavenly Book."

Gu Sheng nodded and said.

"Ah."

After Ji Ziyue finished speaking, she walked towards Gu Sheng.

However, the moment Gu Sheng came into contact with Ji Ziyue, Gu Sheng's consciousness suddenly felt the change in the aura around his body.

This change is extremely subtle. If one had not just practiced the "Sutra of the Beginningless", it would probably be difficult to detect.

Gu Sheng's heart trembled, and he suddenly suspected that this Ji Ziyue was fake.

He remained calm and secretly mobilized the power of Xuanhuang to prepare for possible dangers.

At the same time, he asked, "Ji Ziyue, do you remember where we first met?"

Ji Ziyue didn't seem to notice Gu Sheng's suspicion. She replied, "Of course I remember. It was at the entrance test meeting of Taixuan Sect."

Gu Sheng's heart sank, their first meeting was not at the test meeting.

But during a chase, Gu Sheng and Ji Ziyue fell into the lake of the Bronze Immortal Palace together!

This Ji Ziyue is indeed fake!
Gu Sheng said secretly.

Then Gu Sheng sneered and retreated violently.

At the same time, the Fire Spirit Dagger attacked again, pointing directly at Ji Ziyue's eyebrows.

"who are you?"

Gu Sheng asked coldly.

Ji Ziyue suddenly panicked, "Gu Sheng, I am Ji Ziyue? Who else could it be?"

"No! You're not her!"

Gu Sheng shook his head.

"I really am her!"

Ji Ziyue almost roared.

"You and I entered the Bronze Immortal Palace together, and went to the Taixuan Gate together. Have you forgotten all this? Huh?"

Ji Ziyue shouted angrily.

"Forehead……"

Gu Sheng hesitated again.

To say that Ji Ziyue is fake, everything she said were her own personal experiences.

But if it's true, I always feel like something is wrong...

Gu Sheng began to feel troubled.

"Okay, since you think I'm a fake, then just go away and don't bother with me!"

Ji Ziyue said this and turned around and walked in another direction.

Looking at Ji Ziyue's leaving back, Gu Sheng suddenly saw Ji Ziyue's figure in her.

You know, Ji Ziyue is a famous young lady in the Ji family.

Needless to say, his temperament and character are very important.

Now that this has happened, Gu Sheng is really a little confused.

However, this illusion is full of dangers. If Ji Ziyue just leaves like this, he will definitely encounter some trouble.

It would be fine if it was fake, but if it was true, how sad would Ji Ziyue be?
Thinking of this, Gu Sheng quickly stepped forward and grabbed Ji Ziyue's arm.

"Zi Yue... Hey, I was just kidding you."

Gu Sheng said with a smile.

Ji Ziyue turned her head and rolled her eyes at Gu Sheng: "Don't joke with me like this in the future!"

"Yes, yes! I promise."

Gu Sheng said with a faint smile.

But Gu Sheng was still a little hesitant and wanted to try it again.

Then Gu Sheng asked: "Zi Yue, do you still remember the secret technique of your Ji family?" "Of course I remember, the Great Void Technique, I taught you it."

Ji Ziyue turned her head and said with a smile.

Before Gu Sheng could say anything, Ji Ziyue continued, "I know you are testing me. Okay, go ahead and ask me anything you want."

Being seen through by Ji Ziyue, Gu Sheng smiled awkwardly: "No, nothing, I just want to ask you about the first few secrets of the Great Void Technique."

Ji Ziyue smiled, as if she had seen through Gu Sheng's thoughts.

"The secret of the Great Void Technique is a secret of the Ji family that is not passed down. However, there is no need to hide it from you."

Gu Sheng listened attentively. Ji Ziyue opened her mouth slowly and recited a few obscure formulas.

"The void is boundless, the mind turns with the will, the mind and the will are one, the environment changes with the mind..."

Gu Sheng's mind moved. These secret techniques were indeed the beginning of the Great Void Technique.

He had practiced under Ji Ziyue's guidance before, so he was not unfamiliar with it.

However, he did not let his guard down.

Because he knew that in the illusion, everything might be false.

"Ziyue, you are right."

Gu Sheng nodded, but then changed the subject, "But, do you know that in addition to the mental method, the practice of the Great Void Technique also requires specific hand seals and breathing methods. Can you show me one or two?"

Ji Ziyue's expression changed slightly, and she chuckled, "Gu Sheng, you are really careful. Okay, I'll show you."

As he spoke, Ji Ziyue began to form hand seals.

Her fingers danced nimbly, her movements smooth and natural.

Gu Sheng observed carefully and found that these hand seals were indeed part of the Great Void Technique, but he still had doubts in his heart.

"Ziyue, although you are proficient in the hand seals, I remember that the practice of the Great Void Technique also requires a specific breathing rhythm. Can you demonstrate it?"

Gu Sheng continued to test.

Ji Ziyue's face was already a little unhappy, but she still did it.

She took a deep breath and let it out slowly.

That rhythm is consistent with the practice requirements of the Great Void Technique.

Seeing this, Gu Sheng's doubts were slightly alleviated.

"It seems that you are indeed Zi Yue."

Gu Sheng smiled slightly, seeming to have let down his guard.

Ji Ziyue saw this and her eyes were full of displeasure.

She turned sideways and said coldly: "Gu Sheng, I really admire you!"

"Blame me, blame me..."

Gu Sheng nodded and said with a smile.

But suddenly, Gu Sheng's consciousness sensed a hint of unusual fluctuations again.

This wave seemed to be absorbing his own energy.

That feeling is like pulling out the fuel from under the cauldron.

Randomly, Gu Sheng secretly mobilized his divine power.

Yes, that feeling does exist, and my strength is indeed slipping away.

Gu Sheng's eyes suddenly became stern, and he immediately took a step back, looking at Ji Ziyue vigilantly.

"What's wrong? Gu Sheng, are you still doubting me?"

Ji Ziyue's face showed a hint of grievance.

Gu Sheng didn't answer, but closed his eyes.

He began to use his spiritual sense, carefully sensing everything around him.

He discovered that Ji Ziyue's aura was subtly different from the real Ji Ziyue.

The difference is so subtle that it is almost imperceptible unless you observe carefully.

"You are not Ziyue!"

Gu Sheng suddenly opened his eyes and said coldly.

Randomly, Gu Sheng snorted coldly, and the fire spirit dagger in his hand ignited the flame again, "Attack!"

Looking at the Fire Spirit Dagger, Ji Ziyue's face changed and sneered: "I didn't expect you to be so alert. That's right, I'm not the real Ji Ziyue. I'm the Greedy Spirit in this illusion. You don't have so much greed and you haven't been deceived by me."

"Greedy spirit?"

Gu Sheng was stunned. He had never heard of this name.

"Yes, I feed on people's greed, and I also use greed to absorb people's divine power. It's just that you discovered me just after I absorbed a little."

Tan Ling said with a smile.

After saying that, the fake Ji Ziyue waved his hand, and Tan Ling immediately revealed his true form.

I saw him dressed in black, with no face or hair, just a mass of black.

He looked like he had just come out of a coal mine.

"Since you are a phantom, don't blame me for being rude."

Gu Sheng snorted at the doctor and rushed forward.

A strange smile appeared on the phantom's face.

In an instant, her body began to become blurred, and finally turned into a ball of black mist, rushing towards Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng was not in a hurry. He swung the Fire Spirit Dagger and slashed at the black fog.

"Chichichi!"

The moment the flame came into contact with the black mist, a "chi chi" sound was heard.

The black fog was burned by the flames and let out a shrill scream.

Gu Sheng kept waving the dagger, dispersing the black fog bit by bit.

"Pfft!"

Suddenly, Gu Sheng heard the sound of a dagger piercing his body.

Gu Sheng stared ahead with eyes wide open, only to see Ji Ziyue lying on the ground covered in blood.

"Zi Yue? No! This..."

Gu Sheng stood there in a daze.

"Gu...Gu Sheng...you...you actually..."

Ji Ziyue looked painful.

This is real?

Or fake?

Greedy spirit?

Gu Sheng had a question mark in his mind.

"Just now that was the Greedy Spirit transforming into my figure. Now I am the real Ji Ziyue. I am real."

Ji Ziyue lay on the ground, covering her wound and said.

"Really Ji Ziyue?"

Gu Sheng felt like he was being pricked by a needle again.

"I……"

The flame on Gu Sheng's Fire Spirit Dagger began to die out, and he felt even more tormented.

"puff!"

Ji Ziyue spat out a mouthful of blood.

The smell of blood immediately filled the air.

Gu Sheng walked forward tentatively, "You...are you Tan Ling or Zi Yue?"

"Go now. The Greedy Spirit is still nearby. Don't let him take advantage of you! Gu Sheng, go now!"

Ji Ziyue shouted loudly.

But the more he scolded himself, the more Gu Sheng was reluctant to leave.

"Let's go! I'll take you with me!"

Gu Sheng said this and walked straight forward to pull Ji Ziyue up.

"call……"

Suddenly, Ji Ziyue suddenly breathed out a breath of black air towards Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng immediately stepped back, smiled faintly and said, "I've been fooled once, do you want me to do it again?"

"Haha... I didn't expect you to be able to suppress the passion in your heart. It seems I can't subdue you."

After saying that, Tan Ling turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared into the air.

Love?

Hearing these two words, Gu Sheng was stunned.

"Do I have feelings for Ji Ziyue?"

Gu Sheng pondered secretly in his mind.

But to be honest, I do have some complicated feelings for Ji Ziyue in my heart.

However, the two of them have different paths and should not have such thoughts.

He began to wonder what this illusion was testing him on.
Greed?

strength?

Or mentally?

Gu Sheng thought about it, but he had no idea. (End of this chapter)
