Chapter 352: The Mysterious Mirage
Jiang Yun originally thought that the competition arranged within the sect might not be as grand as the Drug Competition of the Grand Medicine Sect, but at least there should be many people coming to watch.
However, the next day, when he arrived at the competition venue alone, he was surprised to find that there were only a total of nineteen people, including himself.
Apart from an elder in charge of overseeing the competition, the other seventeen people were disciples participating in the competition, not even a single audience.
Among these seventeen people, Jiang Yun did not see any familiar faces.
Especially when Jiang Yun scanned these seventeen opponents with his divine sense, he couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
Because even though they were all in the Blessed Land Realm, the strongest among them was only at the second level of the Blessed Land Realm. No wonder there were doubts about their qualifications to enter Mirage.
At this point, Jiang Yun already knew it in his heart!
This so-called competition was actually just about challenging oneself!
However, such a competition and opponent meant nothing and had no pressure for Jiang Yun.
Therefore, under the gaze of the eighteen people, after politely bowing to them, Jiang Yun unexpectedly flew up into the air and left.
Even though this behavior was a bit bold, being able to fly already proved that he had at least entered the Blessed Land Realm!
If this act was still not enough to dispel some people’s doubts about his strength, Jiang Yun didn’t mind surprising them when Mirage opened!
However, just as Jiang Yun had returned to his cabin, Senior Brother walked in with a big smile on his face.
Jiang Yun also smiled and asked, "Senior Brother, did something good happen to you?"
"I am happy for you."
As he spoke, Dongfang Bo suddenly threw a ring to Jiang Yun.
Holding the ring, Jiang Yun looked puzzled and asked, "Senior Brother, why are you giving me this?"
Dongfang Bo shook his head and said, "I didn’t give it to you, it was the sect master who gave it to you, as a special gift for every disciple entering Mirage."
Every sect, in order to help their disciples gain something in Mirage, will try their best to provide assistance for their cultivation.
Clearly, Jiang Yun had earned the qualification to enter Mirage.
However, Jiang Yun didn’t seem to care much about the help the sect could provide.
But when he scanned inside the ring with his divine sense, he was shocked and trembled a little, showing a look of astonishment.
It took him a while to recover, then he looked at Dongfang Bo blankly and asked, "Is this meant for me alone?"
It’s no wonder Jiang Yun reacted this way, because the things inside the ring were truly astonishing!
There were as many as tens of thousands of spiritual stones, including a few fifth-grade spiritual stones!
There were more than 20 types of pills, totaling over a hundred.
There are also hundreds of talismans…
Although Jiang Yun was a well-traveled man, he couldn’t help but be amazed by the grandeur of the sect at this moment.
He never imagined that the Seeking-Tao Sect was so wealthy!
Dongfang Bo smiled and said, "Of course, these are for you. Don’t be shy. By giving you these items, we hope you can achieve greater success in Mirage!"
Now Jiang Yun finally understood why everyone wanted to enter Mirage!
Besides the opportunities in Mirage, just the resources provided by the sect before entering were a substantial wealth.
However, he was also well aware that good things don’t fall from the sky.
Since the sect was willing to provide so many resources, it meant that Mirage was definitely very dangerous.
"Senior Brother, have you been inside this Mirage before? What does it look like in there?"
Even though Elder Shen introduced Jiang Yun to it at Grand Medicine Sect, the explanation was not very detailed at that time due to special circumstances.
Senior Brother definitely knows a lot more about this than other people, so Jiang Yun decided to ask him.
When Jiang Yun asked this question, Dongfang Bo’s eyes lit up with excitement and he eagerly rubbed his hands, saying, "Little martial brother, that’s a great question!"
"It’s a long story, let’s sit down and chat slowly!"
Seeing Senior Brother getting ready to talk a lot, Jiang Yun couldn’t help but smile and shake his head.
It seemed like during his time away from the sect, Senior Brother had been silent for too long.
As Jiang Yun sat down, Dongfang Bo immediately began his explanation.
Mirage is actually a floating castle."
"Only appears in the sky of Mountain-Sea World every ten years, just like a sea city Mirage, elusive and mysterious, hence the name.
Even though a long time ago, the forces of cultivation within Mountain-Sea World started sending people into Mirage, after so many years, there is still no unified explanation about the origin of Mirage.
Because every group of people who enter encounter different situations within Mirage.
Some even encounter cities, encounter other forms of life.
Such as humans, such as the demon race.
However, those humans and demon race beings in Mirage have no idea they are living in a building.
Therefore, many cultivators believe that the beings appearing in Mirage are illusions.
However, there are also cultivators with the opposite opinion.
They firmly believe that those beings are real, so these cultivators see Mirage as a bridge.
On one side of the bridge is Mountain-Sea World, and on the other side is a different world.
The reason why each group of people encounters different worlds after entering is because Mirage can move!
Every ten years, it moves to a different world and connects the two.
Although there are different opinions, no matter what kind of world you encounter inside, as long as you can come out alive, you will definitely gain something.
Over time, every cultivator from Blessed Land and Sky Reaching Realm wants to enter it.
Unfortunately, every time Mirage opens, only a thousand people are allowed to enter.
In order to compete for these one thousand slots, there have been many major wars in Mountain-Sea World.
Until all the slots were finally divided up by the various forces within Mountain-Sea World.
The five major sects took the majority share with six hundred slots, the Sea clan has a hundred slots, and the remaining three hundred slots are occupied by all other forces.
As for the time after Mirage is activated, it varies in length.
It can last for just a few months, or even as long as ten years!
However, this is only the time within Mountain-Sea World.
Time passes differently inside Mirage each time.
Some people feel like they are just entering when they are sent out, while in Mountain-Sea World, years may have already passed.
Some people may turn from young to old with white hair inside Mirage, while in Mountain-Sea World, only a few months may have passed.
After listening to Dongfang Bo’s detailed explanation of Mirage, Jiang Yun had to admit that he was also filled with curiosity about this mysterious Mirage.
"Alright, little martial brother, you only have three months left, so you better practice hard."
"Although Mirage is fascinating, it also poses great dangers. The stronger you are, the better your chances of surviving."
Three months may not seem like a long time for most people to make progress in their training, but for Jiang Yun, who had tens of thousands of spiritual stones and a storage ring full of various herbs given by his adoptive father —
In three months, he had confidence that he could at least advance his own cultivation by one level!
However, just as he was about to send Dongfang Bo away and start his closed-door cultivation, a respectful voice suddenly came from outside the cabin, "Martial Brother Jiang, are you there?"
