"To isolate oneself from the Heavenly Dao? But all illusions are under the control of the Heavenly Dao... How can one isolate oneself from it?"

【White Crane】 paused for a moment, then subconsciously asked in return.

Even if 【Heart Demon】 is a rare expert in the Integration Realm, he would not go and die trying to defy the Heavenly Dao.

"The starting point is in the illusion... but the ending point doesn't necessarily have to be there."

【The Inner Demon】 spoke slowly.

In the first challenge, despite having sealed off almost all types of illusions and holding an absolute advantage, the Illusion Alliance still lost.

Continuing to confront the illusion head-on is clearly unwise.

Therefore, he decisively abandoned the illusion and chose to change direction.

"What should we do?"

【White Crane】 was still puzzled.

"It's very simple."

【Inner Demon】 stood up, walked to the window of the floating pavilion, and looked down at the shore of Xianyun Lake.

"Change the illusion into a secret realm..."

"Shift the standard of judgment from illusion to reality."

"In this way, he lost his greatest asset!"

...

...

The next day.

The once bustling Xianyun Lake is now nearly half empty.

Lu Ze's "Slaughtering Immortal Tower" was too shocking, shattering the last vestiges of hope in the hearts of many cultivators, who then chose to withdraw from the exchange meeting.

The rest were mostly cultivators who had ambition or were determined to join the Illusion Alliance.

Before noon, the cultivators who had gathered here in advance were whispering among themselves. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Most of the discussion revolved around Lu Ze's astonishing move yesterday.

After all, the legendary feat of a Nascent Soul cultivator crippling a Divine Transformation cultivator with a single move is even more exaggerated than the way "Slaughtering Immortal Tower" crushes the other 148 illusionary realms.

Some say Lu Ze lacked martial ethics and started with zero frames; others say Han Xian underestimated his opponent and didn't even set up a defense; still others say the illusionary reward bestowed upon Lu Ze by Heaven was some kind of ancient secret technique used to overcome higher levels...

This incident enraged the entire Green Mountain Sect, but they were powerless to do anything about it.

There was no other way; back then, Zhang Yuxian had made a big fuss about a bet they had to fulfill.

The phrase "no need for magic weapons, life and death are predestined" was also said by Han Xian himself.

Even if Han Xian was crippled and his soul was damaged, the Green Mountain Sect could only keep quiet about it on the surface.

At this time, as the story spread among the cultivators, the fact that the true disciple of the Green Mountain Sect in the Nascent Soul Realm had his soul destroyed by a single slap from a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator became more and more widely known, and gradually became a topic of conversation among the cultivators.

"Brother Lu... has arrived!"

The commotion in the crowd suddenly stopped, and people consciously made way for Lu Ze.

After all, Old Demon Lu was renowned for his power.

Originally, everyone was just worried that the illusion would be targeted, but after Lu Ze shattered Han Xian's dream of becoming a Realm Master with a slap yesterday, everyone began to have awe for Lu Ze in reality.

"Wow... everyone's being so polite today?"

Lu Ze raised an eyebrow. He had originally planned to randomly select a few unlucky people to ban, but he had no choice but to give up at this moment.

“Of course, Junior Brother Lu, your move yesterday was so fast that even I almost didn’t see it clearly... No wonder Junior Sister Li said that your talent is no less than hers.”

Zhong Yi exclaimed in surprise.

"So it was you who said it..."

Lu Ze gave Zhong Yi a resentful look, then waved his hand and said:

"That female demon, we can't beat her, we can't beat her."

Yesterday, Li Moran somehow got the news and immediately asked Lu Ze to spar with her after they got back online.

Although Lu Ze was not afraid of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, he was only afraid of cultivators like Han Xian who had mediocre talent.

Someone as monstrous as Li Moran would inevitably get a beating from him.

"Haha, Junior Brother Lu is too modest... Oh, it's noon."

Zhong Yi composed himself.

The clouds and mist surged over Xianyun Lake, but this time no huge platform appeared.

【Rakshasa】 flew in the air, accompanied by a chubby middle-aged man.

"Strange, where are the Illusion Tower and the platform..."

Zhong Yi was immediately puzzled and muttered to himself:

"It can't be an illusion, can it?"

Just as he was wondering, 【Rakshasa】 pointed to the middle-aged fat man beside him and introduced him.

"Fellow Daoists, allow me to introduce you... This is Qian Wancai, the owner of Feiyun Trading Company, the largest trading company in the Daqian Dynasty."

"Mr. Qian is the sponsor of this exchange meeting of our Illusion Alliance, so the second topic will be decided by Mr. Qian!"

Having said that, 【Rakshasa】 took a step back, and Qian Wancai narrowed his eyes with a smile, cleared his throat, and said:

"I am just an ordinary person, with only a slight talent for business... Now I am being asked to set questions for a group of immortal masters, I am truly humbled!"

"I cannot judge the Way of Illusion... However, I heard Elder Rakshasa say that Illusion is similar to Secret Realm, except that it is Secret Realm without a physical form."

"I have no other requests, only one thing I would like to ask of you immortal masters—"

"My Feiyun Trading Company recently acquired the second largest auction house in the Daqian Dynasty. The warehouse is full of treasures, there are just too many of them."

"Since you immortal masters possess such great supernatural powers, why don't you help my Flying Cloud Trading Company sell off this batch of stockpiled treasures as quickly as possible?"

"But..."

Qian Wancai rolled his eyes guiltily.

"My business needs real money, so I hope you can use the secret realm method to accomplish this for me."

After Qian Wancai finished speaking, 【Rakshasa】 walked forward with a smile and waved his hand.

Giant, golden characters appeared in the sky above the shore of Xianyun Lake:

【This topic: Auction】

【Requirement 1: Complete in the form of a dungeon】

【Requirement 2: The secret realm is only open to members of the Great Gan Dynasty】

【Duration: 7 days】

【Scoring method: The more profits earned from auctions in the Secret Realm, {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} the better】
