Chapter 524: Illusion, Finding Traces
Ji Ming has always had ideas about the “Thirty-six Qi Treasure Mirage” in the Mirage Spirit Realm.

When he first came here, he thought that he had obtained an ancient treasure of the immortals, and from then on he could use the treasure to suppress the world and live freely. However, he did not expect that there were already many immortals guarding this place, and it was a unified place.

This time when the second soul body came here for the first time, Ji Ming predicted that the magic treasure of the Treasure Mirage would definitely appear, and introduced the situation in the building to the new owner, as if he had just arrived.

When he first arrived, a crab who called himself “Hengxing Jieshi” appeared. Now that his second soul body has come here, a catfish appeared, a big, black and fat catfish.

Ji Ming listened quietly to Catfish’s description of the situation in the building, which was exactly the same as what he heard the first time.

After Catfish introduced the situation, the second soul specifically asked about the dragons hidden in the Mirage Spirit Realm.

Since he couldn’t master the Thirty-Six Qi Treasure Mirage, all Ji Ming could do was to try his best to grab the resources for cultivation here. The dragon treasures in the spiritual realm were naturally one of the targets that he could not ignore.

The dragon treasures here are all the twenty-eight mirage dragons that rebelled against the Dragon King of the East China Sea in the past. There are many rare treasures among them.

Through the conversation with the catfish, Ji Ming learned that the dragon treasure transformed from the twenty-eight mirage dragons is the key to maintaining the mirage spiritual realm. He can take the treasure, but he cannot drain the pond to catch all the fish, otherwise the Arhat and the demon fairy among the three immortals who control this place will surely hold him accountable.

In addition to the Dragon’s hiding place, Catfish also took the initiative to talk about another matter, which was the blood feud between the third owner of the Treasure Mirage and the Dragon Palace.

Under this blood feud rule, as long as you kill more than ten thousand water spirits in the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, the spiritual treasures in the Thirty-Six Qi Treasure Mirage will automatically appear. It is not impossible to open the real treasure house of this mirage as you wish.

Ji Ming felt that Catfish was speaking to his original body. After all, his second soul did not have the strength to do so, so he would not be able to do it even if he heard it.

Then the second soul asked some more questions, and seeing that he could not get any new answers, he let the second soul refine the catfish. From then on, the second ancestral mirage energy was truly obtained.

The mirage dragon bent its body on the ground and exhaled the refined ancestral mirage energy, while Ji Ming touched his heart with his hand and sent out the ancestral mirage energy in Dao Zang Huan Hai Fu Chen’s heart. The two mirage energies met here and gathered together, as if they were indistinguishable from each other.

In an instant, both the main body and the second soul were immersed in the mystery of the mirage.

In the illusion, he and his second soul both transformed into a Taoist priest riding a crane, flying over the snow-covered Tianshan Mountains, and then into a woman washing silk, laughing softly by the Hengshan River. In the blink of an eye, he was an old monk sitting under a bodhi tree. These appearances were like salt grains in the water, gradually melting in the evaporation of mirage.

The most ingenious part is that the birth and death of each phantom body will advance his own phantom skills by one point.

Salty rain clouds floated in the air. Ji Ming and his second soul turned into two real dragons at this time, playing in the rain clouds, making the world rain, looking very happy. Then they rose up in the thunder, holding lightning in their claws, and punishing the world on behalf of the heaven.

It was such a wonderful fantasy that it was hard to tell whether it was real or fake. The pleasure was endless and it was infinitely better than the hardships in reality. Ji Ming indulged himself in it for a long time before gradually coming back to his senses.

After coming back to his senses, Ji Ming focused his eyes and saw that the Mirage Dragon’s eyes were still obsessed with the wonderful illusion of the Ancestral Mirage Qi. He immediately slapped the Mirage Dragon’s head, causing the second soul to break away from the wonderful illusion.

With a wave of his hand, the divine scorpion bead flew out from the ancient shell hanging under the chin of the mirage dragon. Ji Ming recited a heart-clearing spell and performed the “soul taming” to eliminate the ego’s spiritual wisdom that might exist in the second soul.

This second soul refined by the “San San Pan Wang Sutra” has many disadvantages and ultimately cannot be maintained for long.

Ji Ming thought about it in his mind, dropped the Divine Scorpion Pearl back into the ancient shell, and took back the two ancestral mirage auras, letting the mirage dragon withdraw from the mirage spiritual realm, while he himself comprehended the magic of illusion here.

In the Western Wilderness, Jin Zhuliu has been traveling here since the Buddhist Scripture Conference.

He was accompanied by Taoist Huo Huan. Whenever he encountered something unpleasant, he would get angry. Relying on the fact that he had mastered the Jin Ting Xian Jing and had magic weapons to rely on, he caused complaints from the cultivators in the Western Wasteland, and finally alarmed an old senior who had never come out of the world in the Western Wasteland. Before Jin Zhuliu and Taoist Huo Huan even saw the old senior, they were hit by him from a distance of a hundred miles away, and their spirits were out of their bodies, and their bodies fell into the mud.

The old senior, out of consideration for the One-horned God of Xiaozhu Jinting, did not take any harsh measures. He only punished him slightly, causing his soul to be separated into two parts, causing his soul to suffer a little from being displaced. Only after a hundred days did his soul return to its physical body.

At this point, the two returned to Haiyin Temple in Baibaoshan in embarrassment.

After the fright outside, Taoist Huo Huan sat in meditation in the temple to regulate his breathing and nourish his Yin spirit. Jin Zhuliu could not calm down and wanted to find the Son of Chi to complain, but unexpectedly he saw a red smoke falling from the Bulao Peak.

He was curious, but after all, he had learned his lesson, so he didn’t dare to cause trouble again. Unexpectedly, Chi Shenzi also saw the red smoke and wanted to find out what was going on. After discussing it, the two of them fled together.

Below the Bu Lao Peak, there were dense forests and bamboos. The red smoke between the peaks was hidden and difficult to see clearly. However, Ji Ming and Jin Zhuliu were both extraordinary people. After following the trail, they came to the water gorge in front of the cauliflower medicine field in Qianhua Cave.

In the water gorge, the river water was swift and flowing mightily. Ji Ming felt very comfortable swimming in it. After all, mirage dragons love water. However, Jin Zhuliu felt a little uncomfortable.

The two of them wasted no time and searched underwater following the red smoke. They saw it disappear on a stone wall covered with aquatic plants. They knew that the owner of the red smoke must have a way to escape. If they broke through the stone wall by force, they would definitely alert the enemy.

“Brother Chi Shen, help me collect the river water in front of the wall gate. I will use magic to eliminate this wall and it will be quiet.”

Ji Ming naturally agreed and directly controlled the river water here to make it separate in front of the wall. The messy water plants pushed by the water force were piled up on the wall.

Seeing this, Jin Zhuliu’s lower abdomen swelled and contracted, his face turned red instantly, and the three flowers of essence, energy and spirit appeared on the top of his head one after another. It can be seen that three groups of air flows formed a line on the top of the head, and finally a fourth “flower” appeared on the top of the head.

The fourth ball of energy appeared above the divine flower.

Upon closer inspection, it was not empty like the three flowers on the top of the head, but had a transparent dark color. As Jin Zhuliu pointed forward, the dark energy rushed forward, and a big hole appeared in the stone wall. There was no movement at all during the whole process.

The two of them entered the cave, and carried some soil and rocks to seal the hole, and then went deeper inside.

Before I could go deeper, I heard the conversation.

The two first heard a steady and heavy voice saying, “My Lady, last time you colluded with the Qingzhen Temple Qingde Treasure Pool to garrison and steal the mirage cells, you almost delayed the birth of the Chi Shenzi, and the ancestor is already unhappy.

Madam, please don’t forget that your birth date is still in the hands of the old ancestor. He practices both Buddhism and Taoism, and has also dabbled in nightmare magic. He only needs to set up a simple altar, and your life will be over in an instant.”

A sweet laugh was heard, full of disdain.

“Junior Brother Tang, why do you have to be so hypocritical?

You and I have worked so hard to open up this dark cave that connects to the Thousand Flowers Cave Sutra Tower, all for the sake of the supreme magic on the fourth and fifth floors.

Let’s not talk about other things. If you get the book “Golden Infant Wood True Skill”, you can obtain the fruit of earthly immortal after practicing it. You and I can learn this method to practice together, and the true yin and primordial yang will complement each other. It’s better than just looking at other people’s eyes here.”

The man called Junior Brother Tang was silent for a long time, then said, “My Lady, don’t forget the supplementary volume.”
