Chapter 684: 150. Real Dream
Year 32 of Qingyuan, March 5th.
That night in the Great Yong dynasty seemed no different from many peaceful nights in the past.
Except for a very few cultivators, the vast majority of mortals had already entered their dreams.
All was silent, the moonlight desolate.
Suddenly—
"Welcome to the real world, liars will face severe punishment..."
A voice, ethereal and distant, suddenly echoed throughout the Great Yong territory, or perhaps... it resonated in the hearts of all within Great Yong.
At the same time, from the lowly mortals who could barely fill their stomachs to the supreme Saint cultivators, without exception, everyone felt a rush of disorientation, as the world before their eyes suddenly blurred.
At that moment, it seemed as if a dense fog was enveloping the entire world before their eyes.
The sleeping mortals awoke one by one, bewildered and helplessly staring at the mist before them, unable to comprehend what was happening. Could it be the workings of those legendary cultivators?
But what they didn't know was that even the cultivators at that moment didn't understand what was happening.
Not to mention the ordinary cultivators; even the high above, legendary Saint cultivators were all puzzled.
"What is happening?"
Within the Prince Xia Mansion in Di Hong City, Lin Yue was also stunned, looking incredulously at the mist before him, "What is this?"
With his realm, he could clearly sense that he had already fallen into an unknown and strange Illusion Realm, akin to the Illusion World existing in the Tianxia Building.
But in his realm, with the added heart and mind protection arrays of Prince Xia Mansion, besides the Second Prince, who could forcibly drag him into an illusion?
Most importantly, he couldn't escape this illusion at all!
"Something's wrong..."
Lin Yue perceived that he could still split his consciousness, immediately sending one into the Tianxia Building, and another into the Residence Array using Divine Thought.
The Residence Array was intact, without even the slightest disturbance.
Through the Residence Array, he also observed the changes in the expressions of others in the mansion—mortals and even Bi Xu Yuanjun, this immortal being in the Human World, were all in shock and bewilderment.
Lin Yue immediately used Divine Thought Transmission, "Yuanjun, have you also fallen into an illusion?"
"Also?" Bi Xu Yuanjun was slightly taken aback, "Could it be that Your Highness has also..."
"Yes, I'll go to the Tianxia Building to inquire."
"I'll ask around too."
Before long, both of them confirmed that whether they were mortals who have not yet set foot on the cultivation path or the exalted Saint existences, they had all fallen into this dream!
And it was irrelevant to distance, even those separated by tens of thousands of miles had fallen into the dream.
It seemed... to be the entire Great Yong area?
At that moment—
Lin Yue suddenly perceived a familiar aura in a wheelchair appearing nearby.
"Second Brother?" Lin Yue immediately used Divine Thought Transmission, "Do you know what this is all about?"
"I'm afraid the Demon Clan... has finally taken action. This is an illusion covering the entire Great Yong."
The Second Prince's expression was also very solemn, his tone unprecedentedly serious, "Not only is the range vast, but the level of this illusion is incredibly high, its mere realm has already completely surpassed me."
Surpassing the Second Prince in realm?
Lin Yue couldn't help but be taken aback upon hearing this.
The Second Prince was not only the strongest in the realm of the entire world in the Mind Path but also in the realm having partly proven the Ultimate Path.
Theoretically, those who could completely surpass the Second Prince's realm would be entities having proven the Ultimate Path.
But even in the Ancient Mythological Era, only the legendary three sons of Taichu reached such an astounding realm, and even that was just legend.
This illusion's level was so high that even the Second Prince was helpless, didn't that mean...
"Could it be an illusion cast by a son of Taichu? But aren't the sons of Taichu figures from the Ancient Mythological Era? How could the Demon Clan..." Lin Yue murmured.
"Impossible."
The Second Prince immediately said in a deep voice, "Not to mention whether the sons of Taichu still exist, even if they do, if the Demon Clan could enlist a son of Taichu, Great Yong would have long been destroyed. Why would they need such methods?"
He frowned and said, "This should be a strange treasure the Demon Clan acquired related to a son of Taichu..."
"What about the Crown Prince?" Lin Yue couldn't help but ask, "The Crown Prince is invincible within the Great Yong territory, can't he do anything about this illusion?"
"He also has no means."
The Second Prince furrowed his brows tightly, "The sons of Taichu were leaders of all the gods in Ancient Times, and even the Ancient Gods were not afraid of the Heavenly Dao, let alone the sons of Taichu. Unless the Divine Emperor still existed, otherwise..."
Lin Yue understood.
But... the Divine Emperor was already dead.
"Can the proving-path experts resist this illusion?" Lin Yue asked.
The Second Prince was silent for a moment before stating, "None of the proving-path experts in the world has been drawn into the illusion."
Lin Yue was slightly stunned.
"I think the one casting this illusion is not incapable of doing so but unwilling to." The Second Prince said in a low voice, "I can only perceive the existence of this Illusion Realm, but I cannot intervene."
"Specifically avoiding the proving-path experts?" Lin Yue faintly had a premonition.
"The Crown Prince has already deduced." The Second Prince said, "The Demon Clan is only targeting mortals to Harmonization levels, precisely all the beings who have not transcended the world. The biggest possibility is for the Human Clan's fate, beginning with the people's spirit and Great Yong's powerful beings..."
"Human Clan's fate?"
Lin Yue felt a stirring in his heart.
He had obtained the Crown Prince's secret, the Crown Prince could wield the Heavenly Dao's power, precisely because he refined a National Treasure, allowing him to wield this treasure's power to mobilize the Heavenly Dao's might whenever he called upon the national fortune within Great Yong.
