Chapter 651: Wishes come true

Beside the Illusion-Reality Domain, Yunfang Great Shaman observed this wisp of Dao Resonance.

He was as kind-faced and white-haired as ever, appearing very trustworthy.

“Hmm… I can’t say for sure. This wisp of Dao Resonance is very strange, but… it’s quite a coincidence. Would you like to take it into the Illusion-Reality Domain?” Yun Fang said.

“Take it into the Illusion-Reality Domain? What’s wrong? Please enlighten me, Senior,” Li Qi asked, puzzled.

As a rational Young Master of Shaman God Mountain with a background, he certainly had to ask for clarification before personally venturing into danger. Information advantage was the natural buff for disciples of major powers.

“Within the Illusion-Reality Domain, wishes come true, and the same applies to Dao Resonance. Once taken inside, the Dao Resonance can create more anomalies, and then perhaps we can discern some clues,” Yunfang Great Shaman said.

Then, he continued to suggest, “However, I am bound by my duties and cannot enter personally. After you go in, record the anomalies caused by the Dao Resonance, then bring them out for me to see.”

“Thank you, Great Shaman,” Li Qi immediately bowed.

A third-rank powerhouse being willing to help him analyze was already a great favor, although Li Qi knew when he came that Yunfang Great Shaman was a good person and would definitely agree to help him.

This Senior was truly a good person, doing good deeds without expecting anything in return, always treating the outside world with kindness.

However, Li Qi was still cautious. He asked in advance, “Then, Senior, are there any special requirements for entering the Illusion-Reality Domain? I see so many people outside the Illusion-Reality Domain, but actually not many inside, and… the Qi of the people lying here is similar to that of the Illusion-Reality Domain.”

“The wish-fulfillment of the Illusion-Reality Domain, it’s not some kind of trap, is it? I hope Senior can guide me, so I can prepare in advance,” Li Qi asked.

This was the advantage of being from a major power. If an uninitiated fifth-rank outsider without a background arrived, they would surely be completely clueless, knowing nothing, and bumping around like a headless fly.

But Li Qi was different; he could genuinely ask his Senior about things he didn't understand.

Hearing this, Yunfang Great Shaman explained, “There’s no problem with that. In fact, the wish-fulfillment of the Illusion-Reality Domain is wish-fulfillment without limits; it’s just that the limit… is human imagination itself.”

“I’d like to hear the details,” Li Qi simply bowed again, bending at the waist to listen to the other party’s narration.

Seeing Li Qi’s posture, Yunfang Great Shaman said, “Wish-fulfillment requires that you can truly imagine what you want. You need to understand that thing, otherwise, you can’t even imagine it.”

“Within the Illusion-Reality Domain, if your Realm is higher than your rank, you can directly advance; you can ‘wish-fulfill’ and upgrade yourself out of thin air to the rank you can imagine, though it will disappear after you come out. But it also allows people to gain the power of advancement beforehand.”

“Not to mention Spiritual Artifacts, spiritual materials, or even people—no matter what, as long as you can imagine it, the Illusion-Reality Domain can turn it into a real, existing thing. If your imagination is sufficient, you can even possess everything inside.”

“Therefore, this characteristic is very dangerous. Look at these people lying around; they all abused this power and ultimately harmed themselves. I felt pity for them, so I brought them out to recuperate here.”

“So, now that the Illusion-Reality Domain is within the jurisdiction of Shaman Dao, it naturally needs to be controlled. I am here to guard this extraterrestrial wonder, to prevent it from suffering any special invasions.”

“So… as you can see, as long as you can control yourself, the Illusion-Reality Domain is a beneficial and harmless place.”

Yunfang Great Shaman explained this to Li Qi, while also pulling up a light screen, illustrating his explanation to Li Qi with images and text.

However, Li Qi’s expression turned a bit grim.

This description reminded him of… Heaven of Others’ Emanations.

Wasn’t the Desire Realm like this?

Seeing Li Qi’s face, Yun Fang smiled: “Indeed, it has some connection to the Demonic Dao. This is also why I am stationed here. This place was where the Heavenly Demon and the Buddha fought over Dao in the past, and a Spirit Dao Grandmaster fell here, with their Dao Principles scattering within.”

“Spirit Dao…” Li Qi murmured.

He knew that Yunfang Great Shaman had gained some large world clusters from the Spirit Dao in the past, and his merits were thus celebrated.

In other words, the Illusion-Reality Domain before him was a special area formed by the mixture of the Demonic Dao and the Spirit Dao.

No wonder it needed to be guarded by Yunfang Great Shaman.

Because Yun Fang was adept at dealing with both the Demonic Dao and the Spirit Dao, this position was very suitable for him.

“So, I just need to take it in and see what anomalies appear?” Li Qi asked.

“Yes, don’t worry. You are already a fifth-rank, and maintaining your mind is simple for you. Moreover, you have the attention of the Shaman God, and now you cannot manipulate Karma, but you can perceive and trace back, so you are actually very safe,” Yunfang Great Shaman said to Li Qi with a smile.

Li Qi pondered… it seemed so.

So, he nodded: “Then please wait, Senior, I’ll be right back.”

Li Qi was also very efficient. He retrieved the Dao Resonance and quickly flew towards the Illusion-Reality Domain.

He was very fast and soon arrived at the periphery of the Illusion-Reality Domain.

True Knowing Dao Resonance swept across the surroundings.

He saw a person retreat in terror from within the Illusion-Reality Domain.

It was a seventh-rank cultivator, a typical humanoid life form, male, dressed very similarly to those in the world, probably also attracted by the phrase ‘wishes come true’.

With just a glance, he had already perceived what the other party had experienced.

He was very anxious and afraid because, while he was enjoying the beauty of wishes coming true inside, a thought suddenly popped into his mind: “What if I die here?”

As soon as this thought appeared, his Inner World directly collapsed. In his panic, distracting thoughts immediately arose, and he was almost completely buried by his own distracting thoughts.

Fortunately, being a seventh-rank after all, he finally escaped by the skin of his teeth.

However, his Inner World had already collapsed, and he was close to death.

“This is truly typical,” Li Qi shook his head. Killing oneself through wish-fulfillment was indeed a classic maneuver.

Thinking this, Li Qi stepped into the Illusion-Reality Domain.

He reined in his thoughts, making himself completely single-threaded, turning off all distracting thoughts and wild imaginings except for basic thinking and observation.

For a fifth-rank, this was not difficult to achieve.

So, the moment he entered, nothing happened.

However, Li Qi still felt a strong aura of Dao enveloping him!

“Demonic Dao, and also, Spirit Dao…” Li Qi sensed the aura of the Illusion-Reality Domain and quickly figured out the situation here.

Two Great Daos… no, these Great Daos were not complete. According to the classification, they should be Dao Resonance.

It was just that this Dao Resonance was too strong and too vast, so it spread out, ultimately manifesting as an ‘extraterrestrial wonder’.

It was truly terrifying; just two wisps… two Dao Resonance, could manifest into such a huge extraterrestrial wonder.

They couldn't be called wisps; these two were truly too vast, and their Divine Abilities were immeasurably broad.

But for Li Qi, it was somewhat peculiar.

After all, this feeling was truly wondrous, and Li Qi controlled his thoughts, maintaining a state of focused attention.

To be honest, this was not a simple matter, but for a fifth-rank, it was manageable, as fifth-ranks often encountered situations requiring concentrated attention.

This was like sketching in the brain: first a rough outline, then slowly shaping, then detailing, every step could not have the slightest error, otherwise reality would follow the brain’s mistakes. If you thought wrong for a step, for example, involuntarily imagining the scene after your death, then you would truly die.

He racked his brains, doing his utmost to maintain his current posture, lest he conjure up some strange things due to a stray thought, causing his own death.

It was just… Li Qi was, after all, the type with many distracting thoughts, who liked to think about all sorts of things.

He suddenly thought, what if there was a Mortal here…

So, the next moment, a Mortal suddenly appeared beside him.

This person…?

But the next moment, Li Qi found that this person looked at Li Qi in horror, as if he didn't know why he had appeared here!

Soon, because there was no air outside the domain, as a Mortal, he immediately entered a state of suffocation.

He gasped sharply.

Because Mortals were accustomed to having air around them, this passive ‘imagination’ caused air to appear out of thin air around him.

Li Qi watched this ‘imagination-created person’ and his performance.

But after a while, Li Qi found that this person was simply frozen there, unable to leave, his entire being focused on maintaining his imagination, completely unable to spare any attention. Thus, he saw nothing, heard nothing, felt nothing; all his attention was focused on how to use imagination to preserve his own life…

But this could not last long.

For Mortals, distraction was unavoidable.

This was truly not something an ordinary person could do… even Li Qi now would occasionally think of other things, just like this person in front of him, who was created by his imagination.

And wild imaginings would bring unpredictable results.

Li Qi watched with his own eyes as a part of this Mortal’s body was suddenly destroyed by his own imagination, or transformed into other things, or caused other things to appear around him—most of them meaningless debris, like seven or eight-legged stools, completely unwearable clothing… or rather, rags, and various streams of water, light spheres, and such.

This was very strange; a person’s chaotic thoughts in a state of panic, materialized into reality, so messy, yet seemingly a bit amusing.

Most of these things were not dangerous, but some could take this person’s life with just a tiny bit.

In the Illusion-Reality Domain, imagination and consciousness were truth.

This person kept switching between getting distracted → realizing he was distracted → quickly waking up → and then barely concentrating on reconstructing his body. He was constantly switching between these processes, without even the leisure to control his body’s movement.

It was absolutely impossible for a human to not be distracted for even a second.

East, South, West, North.

Up, Down, Left, Right.

These definitions were meaningless here; all sense of direction disappeared, and everyone decided for themselves which direction was their “down.”

In fact, after observing for a while, Li Qi saw that the ground even appeared beneath the other person’s feet, and stars, even a constant star, began to appear in the nearby sky.

A Mortal, relying solely on imagination, created a constant star.

But that Mortal was clearly about to collapse.

Li Qi thought for a moment, reached out, and an invisible force surged forth, pulling the Mortal, attempting to bring him out of the Illusion-Reality Domain.

He left the Illusion-Reality Domain alive.

However… the moment he left, this person disappeared.

With his disappearance, the constant star, the continent, and even those strange things that appeared based on his imagination all vanished.

“…A person created by imagination, he can also imagine even newer things. This is truly…” Li Qi shook his head, stopping his thoughts.

His mind began to become active, searching through all ‘thoughts’, then quashing any thoughts he didn't need at the moment, maintaining a pure mind.

Then, he got back to serious business.

Li Qi extended the Dao Resonance in his hand.

According to Yunfang Great Shaman, things like Dao Resonance, which inherently possess certain powers, could also cause anomalies within the Illusion-Reality Domain, similar to ‘imagination’.

Sure enough, after this wisp of Dao Resonance appeared, anomalies suddenly arose within the Illusion-Reality Domain!

Black vortices began to spread and devour!

Unbelievable corrosion began to guide all things to their demise!

Destroy, destroy, destroy everything!

Almost instantly, Li Qi was engulfed by the anomalies brought forth by the Dao Resonance.

Li Qi’s Inner World was instantly corroded and destroyed by nearly one-third!

But Li Qi acted very quickly. He immediately used imagination to heal his injuries. As expected, he imagined his injuries healed and perfectly imagined himself in a complete state, so his injuries immediately recovered.

The next moment, countless thoughts, all sorts of things, and various fifth-rank Spiritual Artifacts flooded Li Qi’s mind, as if being scattered for free, numbering in the hundreds of millions!

These were all Li Qi’s ‘imagination’, and thus, they turned into reality.

As for Spiritual Artifacts above the fourth-rank, Li Qi couldn’t imagine them, so naturally, he couldn’t create them.

Countless fifth-rank Spiritual Artifacts surged forth, rushing towards the continuously spreading black Qi.

The torrent of Spiritual Artifacts formed a circle, firmly blocking the devouring black Qi.

Not a single Spiritual Artifact could withstand it for even a moment; every minute, every second, tens of millions of Spiritual Artifacts were devoured, submerged, and disappeared.

These were all genuine fifth-rank Spiritual Artifacts! They just vanished like that.

If this black Qi appeared outside, who could possibly stop it?

Li Qi continued to create countless Spiritual Artifacts through imagination, locking down the black Qi, while observing these anomalies.

This was what Great Shaman Yun Fang needed: observing and recording it, then handing it over to Yunfang Great Shaman, which would provide him with clues.

At this time, he could also observe it himself.

Thinking this, Li Qi fully activated his True Knowing Dao Resonance, preparing to thoroughly observe the black Qi brought by the Dao Resonance.

True Knowing Dao Resonance fully activated.

The next instant, Li Qi’s brain directly exploded with a bang!

True Knowing Dao Resonance and Demon of Death’s Dao Resonance unfolded together at this moment.

The massive amount of information directly overwhelmed Li Qi’s brain!

After checking, the out-of-circle rating actually dropped.

Indeed, I still can’t play with Starting Point. Let’s just leave it at that, everyone, let’s go with the flow.
