Chapter 0314 – Beyond the Illusionary Realm – Absolute Return

by GreatBrother(위대한 다오 형제)

Today, Jian Wuji had seen a very different side of Sect Master Feng Tian. No, it should be said that he had seen the world of Sect Master Feng Tian, a world that only existed within an illusion.

Last time in the illusion of the Time Shift Technique, Sect Leader Windsky had said:

"Sometimes when I stay here, I forget where the real world is. Maybe it’s because I want to stay in this space I’ve created so badly?"

Now, Jian Wuji finally understood the true meaning of these words.

It wasn’t just a lingering desire for comfort and ease, but a desire for great power. In this illusionary realm, Sect Leader Windsky had absolute control, so why would he want to return to that real world where the weak were the strong?

"Godfather."

"What’s wrong?"

"If I’ve done anything wrong in the past, please bear with me."

"That’s a lot, can you count them? What, are you scared? Scared of being sucked into that black hole and disappearing without a trace?"

"It’s scary just thinking about it."

"What’s really scary is me. I can’t imagine what it would be like for you to crawl out of that black hole."

"You overestimate me! You may as well scold me as before."

Sword Wuji and Sect Leader Windsky flirted while keeping a wary eye on Illusory Lu and Ghost Host on the opposite side. Even in this relaxed atmosphere, they did not let their guard down.

Jian Wuji heartily exclaimed:

"Bishop, you are truly amazing."

It was always gratifying to be recognized, especially by someone like Jian Wuji.

"Thanks for the compliment."

Sword Wuji and Sect Leader Feng Tian smiled at each other, their eyes filled with tacit understanding. Facing a common enemy, the bond between them seemed to have deepened a few more points.

However, in the face of Sect Leader Windsky’s powerful Illusion Technique, Illusion Lu and Ghost Host did not give up their resistance. They still had their last card.

"This time, it’s my turn to strike."

Jian Wuji was just about to step forward, but Mirage Lü stepped out ahead of him.

If Onigiri specializes in the art of manipulating the dead in the way of ghosts, then Phantom Lü, is a master of the art of dementia.

"Young Sect Master, I didn’t want to take a shot at you."

Their goal was to quietly plant eyes in the Demon Sect. However, in hindsight, they should have chosen Sword Wuji as their target in the first place.

"If you take a shot at the Demon Lord, you’re taking a shot at me."

Jian Wu Ji said coldly. Right at this moment, two blood-red rays of light suddenly shot out from Phantom Lu’s slender eyes.

Whoosh!

Those two rays of light instantly shot into Jian Wuji’s eyes.

In the next second, the movements of the two men, simultaneously stopped. It was as if they were fixed, not moving at all, only their eyes, still wide open.

Sect Master Windsky and Ghost Host, both held their breaths, not daring to act rashly. They knew that if they were disturbed while performing the Soul Regeneration Technique, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"You do realize that she’ll be casting a Dementor spell on the Young Preceptor, don’t you?"

"I know."

"Then why don’t you stop her? Aren’t you worried about the Young Sect Master being controlled by the Dementor Technique?"

Facing Ghosthost’s questioning, Sect Leader Windsky replied in an unhurried manner:

"Even if there were the eight great demonic fathers of the Heavenly Demon God Sect here, they would still stand idly by."

Sect Leader Feng Tian looked at Jian Wuji and said meaningfully:

"You haven’t experienced it, so you don’t understand."

Mirage Lü did not choose those offensive soul regeneration techniques, such as controlling the other party to commit suicide or attacking the Windy Sky Sect Master. She instinctively felt that those moves, were ineffective against Jian Wuji.

So, she chose a different kind of Dementia.

Mind and Demon Soul Control Technique.

It’s a kind of regimen that can peer into the depths of the other person’s heart.

By amplifying the inner demons of the other party, finding the weaknesses of the other party, and even going deeper into the subconscious mind of the other party to find secrets that even the other party does not know themselves.

This secret art was a forbidden art that had long been lost in the Blood Sect, and she was the only one who could use it. If she died, this secret art would also be completely lost.

Hoo hoo hoo ……

Phantom Luc found himself, standing in the middle of a snow-covered field.

"Is this what’s inside him?"

This snowy field was empty, with only the footprints left behind by Jian Wuji.

She followed the footprints, slowly moving forward.

When performing the Heart Demon Soul Control Technique, the inner world that each person displayed was different. Some would show their proudest moments of life; some would show their most shameful secrets; some would show their most regretful moments; and some would show their most cherished things.

Whatever it was, it didn’t matter. She would take the other person’s joys, pains, and secrets and turn them into demons that would torment the other person until they broke.

She will take the other party’s joy, infinitely magnified, into fear, so that the other party into endless panic; she will take the other party’s pain, infinitely magnified, so that the other party in pain, and ultimately choose to commit suicide; she will take the other party’s secrets, public, so that the other party’s reputation is broken, never have any peace.

This was the frightening aspect of the Mind Demon Soul Control Technique.

This secret art, however, could not be used frequently. This was because every time she used it, it would consume a large amount of her innate true qi. Peeking into another person’s heart was a very dangerous thing.

Mirage Lü was curious, what would she find at the end of the footprints? What kind of posture would Jian Wuji, appear in front of her? What was his secret, again?

She followed the footprints and walked all the way forward. She didn’t know how long she had walked, but she never saw Jian Wuji’s figure.

This is the first time this has happened. Usually, something is seen soon.

Phantom Lu quickened his pace. The wind and snow were getting heavier, and walking was becoming more difficult.

However, no matter how long she walked, all she saw, was the endless snow, and the lone set of footprints.

Is there a mistake somewhere? No, there’s no mistake.

Standing in the middle of this empty snowy field, Phantom Lu suddenly understood.

This is the life of Jian Wuji.

A life of walking alone in the snow and wind, alone and lonely.

It was as if she could feel all the pain, despair, and loneliness that Jian Wuji had experienced. All of this was deeply imprinted in that string of footprints.

"What kind of life have you, really, experienced?"

Mirage Lü’s innate true qi, was about to be exhausted, and she had to stop the Heart Demon Soul Control Technique.

Mirage Lü and Sword Wuji, at the same time, came to their senses.

Mirage Lü froze and looked at Jian Wuji with doubt in his eyes.

"Who the hell are you? Aren’t you the young sect master of the Demon Sect? Aren’t you still young? Why ……"

Sect Leader Windsky and Ghost Host, too, were curious as to what Phantom Lü had actually seen.

"You have a status that all people in the Devil’s Way can only dream of …… Why, are you so lonely?"

Jian Wuji did not reply.

Sect Leader Feng Tian looked at Jian Wuji and sighed in his heart: it seems that what Phantom Lü saw was an incomparably lonely Jian Wuji. That Young Sect Leader who was playful all day and liked to joke with him, actually had such a lonely side.

In the room, there was silence, and only the voice of Phantom Lu, echoed.

"You have turned the four great demonic fathers, all into your puppets, why, yet you are always alone?"

Sect Leader Windsky suddenly spoke:

"It seems that there is a black hole inside of you, too."

He was referring to that hollow that appeared in the heart of anyone who practiced illusion.

"I certainly have."

"But your black hole, it’s different from ours. Your black hole is like a treasure full of unknowns that one can’t help but want to explore."

"You’ll be disappointed."

"I just want to go inside, it’s okay."

Jian Wuji smiled at Sect Leader Feng Tian before turning his head to look at Fantasy Lu.

"When you peered inside me, I saw inside you. I saw that black hole inside you."

Mirage Lü was startled in her heart, not understanding what Jian Wuji meant. Just as she was puzzled, Jian Wuji suddenly said:

"I saw your brother."

Mirage Lü froze at once. Sword Wuji, how could he know about her brother? She looked at Ghost Host in shock, wondering if Ghost Host had leaked the secret. However, it was impossible.

"He really saw inside me? How is that possible?"

In fact, Jian Wuji did not see her heart. He just knew that she had a younger brother, so he deliberately said that. He knew that as long as he mentioned her brother, she would reveal a crack.

"He looks exactly like you."

Phantom Lu was paralyzed.

"He really saw it ……"

Never in her wildest dreams did she think that there would be someone who would be able to pry into her heart. Moreover, this person, surprisingly, was not Sect Leader Windsky, but Jian Wuji? Could it be that the Jiu Hua Demonic Skill, was really so powerful?

"You, hate your brother, don’t you?"

Phantom Lu’s pupils, contracted violently.

Before being reborn, Mirage Lü had done many things for the Mirage King. However, it was the Illusory King who was ultimately honored. It wasn’t until much later that people realized that the Illusory King had a twin sister.
