Cultivating Through The Game

"Are you saying what we are seeing is all an illusion?" Lu Yu quickly found the appropriate adjective.

"No, it's not an illusion. It should be a type of space-related Divine Technique. Our bodies should still be in the earth's veins or in the pit we jumped into. We're just unable to see the real surroundings."

"The real scene is isolated in another layer of space. If you can't return, exit the earth's veins, you will soon be assimilated by the veins, turning into a mass of Spiritual Qi, and eventually merging entirely with the veins," Chu Tianhe warned.

Lu Yu heard this, remained silent for a moment, and then asked, "And you? Why aren't you worried about your own safety?"

"I have a special Spiritual Treasure on me, which can isolate the assimilation by the earth's veins," Chu Tianhe said matter-of-factly.

Lu Yu: "..."

Lu Yu walked towards the oasis, taking two steps before noticing his speed was slowing down, feeling very hot, with dry mouth and throat.

After taking out some water and drinking a couple of sips, his condition noticeably improved. It seems this world shares the same mechanism as the previous desert world, only with the added state of slowing speed.

"Drink~ drink~" Chu Tianhe gasped heavily, following behind Lu Yu, "Can I have some water? This world is very abnormal; the world's rules here are formed according to the wishes of the one casting their Divine Techniques. The normal world rules don't apply here."

Lu Yu casually tossed the water pouch he was about to put away to Chu Tianhe and said, "Here you go, use it sparingly."

Chu Tianhe caught the water pouch tossed by Lu Yu, glanced at the pouch and then at Lu Yu, hesitated for a moment before opening the pouch, and pouring water into his mouth from afar.

He also discovered that drinking a little water could relieve the negative state, so he only poured a small amount of water.

Perhaps it was the first time he drank water in such a manner, he was somewhat unaccustomed and ended up choking on water.

"Cough cough~" Water sprayed from his mouth, he coughed a few times before settling down.

When he tightened the pouch cover, somewhat embarrassed, looking up at Lu Yu, he realized Lu Yu had already walked far away.

Chu Tianhe clenched the water pouch tightly, stomped his foot, and hastily chased after Lu Yu.

Upon stepping into the greenery, Lu Yu felt the desert heat swept away, replaced by cool and moist air, filled with the scent of soil and grass.

The wind disappeared at the edge of the greenery, quite eerie.

Just like in RPG games, just one step difference, there are two distinct background music, clearly divided.

"Is the desert and greenery what that person recognizes?" Lu Yu speculated in his mind.

Chu Tianhe caught up with Lu Yu and felt the pleasant breeze of the greenery, considerably easing his internal frustration.

The two stood at the entrance of the Desert Divine Hall, Lu Yu looked up at the two desert divine generals at the hall's gate, their faces much clearer.

Chu Tianhe looked at Lu Yu, glanced at the entrance of the Desert Divine Hall, and said, "How do you intend to deal with the monster inside? Last time, my subordinates helped hold that monster, but now there's no one to help."

"The monster can't be killed or smashed. Without someone to hold it, it's impossible to get close to the door behind the throne."

Lu Yu turned to look at him, eyes showing confusion, and said, "How are you so sure there's a door behind the throne?"

Chu Tianhe calmly said, "The desert and the hall are important in that person's subconscious; he would definitely place the most important things in the place his subconscious considers safest."

"And the most important thing in this world is the door to exit this world."

"Moreover, do you have a way to deal with him? Without resisting his Divine Techniques, escaping is just being dragged into the Divine Techniques space again, and if this continues, we'll all be trapped in the earth's veins," Chu Tianhe asked.

"Do you have a way?" Lu Yu, seeing his confident look, asked.

"Of course."

Chu Tianhe took out a palm-sized bronze small ship and said, "This is a divine artifact, capable of countering the power of Divine Techniques. Direct confrontation won't work, but we just need to ride the Divine Traveling Ship and leave the earth's veins."

"I just confirmed earlier, that person is not a Martial Cultivator of god-like realms; he relies on vast earth vein power and special abilities to use Divine Techniques. Once out of the earth's veins, his Divine Techniques can't affect us."

Looking at the Divine Traveling Ship in his hand, Lu Yu asked strangely, "Then why didn't you use the Divine Traveling Ship to escape earlier?"

Chu Tianhe explained, "Earlier, I wasn't sure of his strength, so I didn't use the Divine Traveling Ship. I only truly confirmed his strength while using his Divine Techniques, and by then it was too late to escape."

"Oh." Lu Yu nodded, indicating acceptance of his explanation.

"Can I take a look?" Lu Yu asked.

Chu Tianhe handed the Divine Traveling Ship to Lu Yu without hesitation, not worried in the least about Lu Yu taking it away.

Lu Yu attempted to establish a connection by infusing Spiritual Power into the Divine Traveling Ship, but failed. The Spiritual Power he poured in was entirely consumed, without any indication of establishing a connection.

Returning the Divine Traveling Ship to Chu Tianhe, Lu Yu said, "Let's go."

"I'll hold off the yellow sand divine generals; you open the door behind the throne. Once the door is open, we'll both leave together, and use the Divine Traveling Ship immediately upon exiting." Lu Yu made a simple plan.

He had another plan in mind. If Chu Tianhe's Divine Traveling Ship could take him away from this dangerous place, Lu Yu wouldn't need to risk implementing the second plan.

Upon entering the Yellow Sand Divine Hall, in the first hall, Lu Yu and Chu Tianhe encountered a powerful desert earth dragon.
