Chapter 608 What she gained in this illusion was already more than enough.
The moment Fu Sheng emerged from the illusion, he knelt on the ground, supporting himself with his hands, panting heavily.
Before me lay a vast expanse of white snow, just like the Ninth Domain had appeared before.
The cold air seeped into my lungs with each breath, but the physical chill was far less severe than the psychological one.
Everything in the illusion was still vivid in her mind, as clear as if she had experienced another life.
"Fusheng!"
Yan Yun, who was originally in snake form, immediately transformed into human form upon seeing Fu Sheng suddenly appear. She helped Fu Sheng up from the snow and said, "You were on my back just fine, and then you suddenly disappeared. Did you enter the illusion again?"
She fell into the illusion without any warning, and didn't even know how it was triggered. She only felt a sudden lightness on her back, and then Fu Sheng disappeared.
She didn't dare to wander off, so she just stayed where she was and waited.
"Hmm." Fu Sheng's eyes focused, and she looked up at Yan Yun. "How long was I trapped in this illusion this time?"
Yan Yun's expression was somewhat serious. "Seven days."
This is the longest illusion Fusheng has been trapped in since arriving at the miracle.
At first, when Fusheng fell into the trap, Yanyun wasn't too worried, thinking it might be the same as before, and he would be out in a day or two at most. But when Fusheng still hadn't come out by the fifth day, Yanyun started to panic.
If it weren't for the fact that her contract with Fu Sheng remained intact, she would have worried that something had happened to Fu Sheng.
“Seven days…” Fu Sheng murmured softly.
She no longer knew whether to judge the time frame as long or short.
For her, who was in a situation where every second was critical in the miracle, these seven days had indeed taken far too long.
But compared to her long experience in the illusion, she felt that these seven days were nothing at all.
"What kind of illusion is this? You actually took so long to break through it. It really scared me to death," Yan Yun said.
Fu Sheng shook her head, not mentioning what happened in the illusion, and asked, "You've been here for the past seven days, has anything changed?"
"No," Yan Yun replied, knowing that Fu Sheng wanted to ask Yan Su and Jun Wuchi, "I didn't see anyone or hear any noise."
Fu Sheng breathed a slight sigh of relief.
If Qianqiuxue were to emerge from the mountains, the commotion would be immense, likely causing changes throughout the entire Ninth Domain.
Since Yan Yun didn't sense anything, then Qian Qiuxue must still be around.
Previously, Fu Sheng's journey was about the same as Jun Wuchi's, so she was racing against time.
Now that seven days had been wasted and she knew she was far behind, Fu Sheng felt calmer.
"Strange, why didn't you get a reward for breaking out of the illusion this time?" Yan Yun suddenly asked.
There was a corresponding reward every time a mechanism was solved.
Since this mechanism was set up in the Ninth Domain, it must be very difficult. Now that it has been broken, the reward should be extremely generous.
Since leaving Fusheng, Yanyun has been keeping an eye on things, but after so long, there has been no change.
Fu Sheng only noticed after hearing Yan Yun say that.
Indeed, according to past practice, the reward should have appeared by now.
But she wasn't in the mood to dwell on it anymore. "If it's not there, it's not there."
She has gained more than enough from this illusion.
Hearing this, Yan Yun frowned. "Fu Sheng, it feels like you've become a completely different person since you came out of the illusion?"
"Is there?" Fu Sheng asked.
“Yes,” Yan Yun said. “You’re not the kind of person who would say ‘If it’s not true, it’s not true.’ Normally, you would have jumped up in anger and complained that you wasted seven days and got nothing. How could you accept it so calmly?”
As she spoke, Yan Yun looked at Fu Sheng suspiciously: "What happened to you in the illusion? You seem preoccupied, and your face looks even more solemn than when you came out of the illusion of Junwu Pool."
When Yan Yun asked about the illusion again, Fu Sheng felt a heavy feeling in her heart again. She said, "I transmigrated into the body of a god from tens of millions of years ago."
"What?!" Yan Yun's eyes widened instantly. "On the God Lord's body?!"
"Ah."
"And then?" Yan Jun's interest was piqued, and she asked impatiently, "Did you see Huai Jin? He's the skeleton senior from the Tomb of the Gods."
"I saw him."
Yan Yun asked excitedly, "Did you see my mother?"
Fu Sheng paused for a moment: "I saw him."
Yan Yun's eyes lit up instantly, and she asked Fu Sheng, "What's my mother like? Is she pretty in human form? Is she very powerful?!"
Seeing Yan Yun's expectant look, Fu Sheng didn't want to dampen her enthusiasm, so she replied, "She has a great personality, is very beautiful, and is also very capable..."
"I knew it!" Yan Yun cheered excitedly, and asked, "What kind of personality does my mother have? Is she gentle or lively, introverted or calm? How beautiful is her human form? With your excellent drawing skills, can you draw her? Have you talked to her? What did you talk about?"
Faced with the long string of questions posed by Yan Yun, Fu Sheng was speechless. She wanted to make something up, but Yan Yun's questions were too specific, so Fu Sheng finally chose to tell the truth: "I'm sorry, Yan Yun, I actually didn't have any contact with your mother. Huai Jin knew that the God Lord didn't like Zhu Jiuyin, so he never summoned it in front of the God Lord. I only glanced at your mother before the illusion shattered."
Yan Yun's excited expression froze instantly, and the light in her eyes slowly dimmed. "I see..."
"I'm sorry," Fu Sheng said again.
"So what? You transmigrated into the body of a god, not Senior Huaijin. It's normal that you didn't have any contact with my mother," Yanyun said.
Fu Sheng lowered her eyes and said nothing more.
"What did you experience in the illusion?" Yan Jun asked curiously.
"The bloodshed in March, and the great war between immortals and demons," Fu Sheng said.
"These are two of the most famous things from the era of immortals and gods..." After the initial excitement subsided, Yan Yun gradually regained her composure. "This illusion can actually reenact events from the era of immortals and gods millions of years ago?"
What surprised Yan Yun was also what puzzled Fu Sheng when his memories returned; the two of them were thinking the same thing.
"What did you do with the body of the deity?" Yan Jun asked.
Fu Sheng wanted to say something, but her lips moved and she couldn't say anything: "I didn't do anything."
"You didn't do anything?" Yan Yun asked in confusion. "This illusion must have a purpose, right? Did you break free of the illusion without doing anything?"
"Ah."
"How could that be? It can't just be so you can go in and see what happened millions of years ago, can it?" Yan Yun said.
Fu Sheng was stunned upon hearing this and did not reply.
Seeing Fu Sheng's dejected appearance, Yan Yun finally realized something and waved her hand, saying, "Alright, alright, maybe this illusion is just like that. Look, there's no reward even after breaking through it. It's probably just a way to kill our time."
"Besides, these illusions were set up by the leaders of various sects. How could they possibly replicate events from tens of millions of years ago? The things in the illusions are probably all fictional, and the characters and stories are not rigorous at all. Let's not think about it anymore. Let's just consider ourselves unlucky and have wasted seven days here. Don't you need to hurry up and meet up with Yan Su? Let's get going."
Fu Sheng wanted to say no. This illusion was so lifelike, so perfectly logical, and in every aspect corresponded exactly to what Huai Jin had said. It was so real that she felt she wasn't even trapped in an illusion, but had actually traveled back millions of years.
But Fu Sheng knew that Yan Yun was only saying these things to comfort her, and she didn't want her to worry about her, so she didn't say anything more, but smiled and replied, "Okay."
Seeing Fu Sheng smile, Yan Jun finally felt relieved.
Although she didn't know what Fusheng had seen in the illusion, judging from those two events, it certainly wasn't a pleasant experience. She was genuinely afraid that Fusheng would be discouraged by the illusion.
Fu Sheng used the power of the contract to sense Yan Su's location. When she first arrived at the Ninth Domain, the power of the contract did not reveal her location, and she guessed that Yan Su was trapped in a trap illusion. Now, after so many days, Fu Sheng felt that Yan Su should have broken out of the illusion.
"Did you find it?" Yan Yun asked, looking at Fu Sheng's expression.
“Found it.” Fu Sheng opened his eyes and pointed to the location indicated by the power of the contract.
The thought of seeing Yan Su soon made her feel much lighter, and the oppressive feeling from the illusion also lessened considerably.
Hearing that they had found it, Yan Yun was happy, but when she saw where Fu Sheng was pointing, she frowned again: "Northwest? Didn't we come from that direction before?"
Previously, Fusheng suffered from snow blindness and couldn't see the road clearly. Yanjun carried her all the way, so Yanjun knew very well the way they came.
"Where's Qiqi? Didn't you say he was the one who led the way? Ask him what happened. Not only did he not lead us to Yan Su, but he also made us trigger an illusion here, wasting seven days of our time. Now it turns out we were going in the wrong direction all along," Yan Yun said angrily.
