Yolanda didn't grow up by the sea, and she couldn't swim. The endless ocean around her made her a little panicked. Although she immediately realized that this was a spiritual world where she didn't need to breathe, it was a bad sign. She couldn't tell the difference between reality and illusion for a moment.
But the reality of the illusion itself surprised her secretly. Just like the universe with huge planets just now, this ocean illusion was also very real. The water here was very clear, and you could see far away at a glance. There was a white light flashing in the distance above her head, which might be the result of the light from the sky. Many strange and colorful coral reefs covered the seabed below her.
As if the ocean current was pushing her forward, she moved among the rocks and schools of fish on the seabed. The swaying water plants were like curtains. Every time she pushed aside the water plants, there was a stage behind her, which was composed of various marine creatures. They showed themselves in front of her one by one, from sharks and large octopuses to schools of small fish and jellyfish, all of which passed by her in a smooth and graceful manner.
Although Yolanda is a Saint-level expert, these scenes in the sea are still unheard of for her. When she saw schools of fish playing around her, she couldn't help but reach out to touch them. At this time, a huge luminous jellyfish rose from the bottom of the water. Its body was like a big net wrapping around Yolanda, and its tentacles were like chains trying to entangle her. She wanted to avoid it, but she couldn't control her actions. However, the jellyfish suddenly turned and passed by her. Then a great white shark swam over in front of her, and the shark opened its mouth and bit her with its bloody mouth.
Yolanda was startled, and hurriedly used her silver mental thread to interfere with the existence of the illusion. However, Xiao Chen, the creator of the illusion, seemed to have anticipated this, and he eliminated the illusion before the two mental powers collided.
Then, Xiao Chen and Luo Ling took turns bringing Yolanda into one illusion after another. There was an ice and snow world that froze everything, an underground world full of lava, a bustling modern city, ancient ruins from who knows how many years ago, and a place that Yolanda couldn't recognize at all, a metal house flying in the starry sky. Yolanda seemed to be experiencing one short life after another, and saw countless things she had never thought of.
Yolanda began to worry for some reason. She found that the illusions she was experiencing were becoming more and more real, and the impact on her body was becoming more and more sensory.
At first, she only saw and heard things and sounds in the illusion. Later, she began to feel the coldness of ice and snow and the heat of lava, began to smell the aroma of food in the city, began to touch the walls and even people. In the most recent illusion of an ancient battlefield, she was stabbed in the chest by a spear from a charging soldier.
For a moment she thought she was going to die, but then she realized that this was because the enemy's ability to manipulate illusions was constantly growing, and her senses were being affected by him more and more.
Her two enemies were growing at a terrifying speed. At first, in the illusions of the universe and the ocean, the planets and fish would try to avoid touching her to avoid forming a sense of unreality. But later, the experience became more comprehensive. Whenever a new illusion started, she would fall into a trance. She even felt that she had been living in such an environment. It took a lot of perseverance to realize the falseness of this world.
Time and again, she would spend more time trapped in the illusion and could not distinguish her true identity. This was a very dangerous signal. Once she felt that it was natural to live in an illusion, she would fall completely into the control of the other party. At that time, she would be trapped in the identity arranged by the other party and then be imprisoned in the illusion.
With her own abilities, the illusions she created were nothing more than some distorted blocks of color and lines. She could not understand at all why the other party, who was clearly a magician at a lower level than her, could depict such a realistic and terrifying scene.
What puzzled her even more was why the other party could resist her illusion for so long.
Yolanda, who was trapped in the illusion, did not notice that in front of Xiao Chen and Luo Ling, there was a black and white crystal slowly rotating, and the Spirit Tower emitted a halo that enveloped Xiao Chen and Luo Ling. This was the soul-settling power emitted by the Spirit Tower. Although it could not eliminate the illusion created by Yolanda, it could keep Xiao Chen and Luo Ling awake enough, allowing them to use most of their strength to create an illusion for Yolanda.
Xiao Chen and Luo Ling took turns to create illusions for Yoda. They both had experience in transforming meditation spaces, so although their level was not as good as Yolanda's, their experience in creating illusion details was much greater than the other. They had all watched a lot of film and television materials, whether it was movies and TV series, or game scenes, which provided them with a huge amount of material for depicting the environment.
The first universe scene was created by Luo Ling, which was inspired by many documentaries and science fiction movies. The second ocean scene was created by Xiao Chen, who combined the ocean documentaries he had watched and his own real experience of diving at the seaside to depict a realistic world. For each subsequent scene, they had a basis of one kind or another, which made the fantasy they portrayed full of many real details and came alive in Yolanda's eyes.
It is very difficult to deceive a saint who is good at mental magic, not to mention that Yolanda is also good at various detection and exploration magic. Xiao Chen and Luo Ling are often sensed by each other's weaknesses in the illusion, causing the illusion to collapse. However, the benefits Xiao Chen and Luo Ling gained from it are also incomparable to other cultivation methods. His environment was seen through by Yolanda again and again, and then destroyed by the opponent's mental thread, but his indomitable attitude of getting more and more courageous with more setbacks made their experience increase rapidly and their realm continue to rise.
If you observe their mental power threads again, you will find that these threads are becoming thicker and thicker, approaching the thickness of those silver threads.
It was this close combat with a saint that forced them to immediately increase their strength.
The realm of saints was like a visible ladder to Xiao Chen. He knew very well that he could reach it. He just had to find a suitable opportunity, and today was the right time.
