Chapter 366: Mirage
Wei Zhengyang felt relieved when Dao Tianyou appeared.
He knew that Fang Yuxuan’s life was saved today.
Dao Tianyou looked directly at Jiang Yun and smiled, saying, "Jiang Yun, I can’t give you a reason not to kill Fang Yuxuan, so I can only hope you spare him for my sake."
Everyone gasped at this remark.
Jiang Yun had only been a disciple for over three years, yet now even the sect master was asking for his opinion, showing how highly regarded he was.
But really, it was all Dao Tianyou’s fault. He didn’t help Jiang Yun when he was in trouble with Fang Yuxuan, so now he had to deal with the consequences.
Everyone’s attention was focused on Jiang Yun, waiting for his decision.
With the sect master involved, would he continue to try to kill Fang Yuxuan, or would he forgive him?
Before Jiang Yun could respond, a splendid light suddenly appeared in the sky, creating nine colorful rays of light merging together, forming a ninth rainbow.
At that moment, no one cared anymore about whether Jiang Yun would kill Fang Yuxuan, all eyes were turned to the sky.
Even Jiang Yun himself was looking up at the sky.
Though the ninth rainbow was not yet fully formed, at its center, the existing ripples began to tremble more intensely.
A blurry, large dark figure started to appear as the ripples intensified.
Clearly, the dark shadow is Mirage!
Though the dark shadow is blurry, people can still make out its rough shape.
It does resemble a building, but there seems to be no distinct floors, it’s just straight up and down, like a solid whole.
The height isn’t too tall, maybe around a hundred feet at most.
It looks very ordinary.
And this is the Mirage that everyone can see.
Because no matter how skilled you are, you can’t see through the constantly rippling waves on the outside of Mirage, making it impossible to see Mirage’s true form clearly.
This is another reason why it’s called Mirage.
Like a dream, like an illusion, real yet unreal, as if lost in a fog!
If it weren’t for the nine dazzling rays of light around, many people might have ignored the appearance of this Mirage.
As Jiang Yun gazed at the Mirage, a doubt arose in his heart.
Since the Mirage appears every ten years, why didn’t he see it when he was at the One Hundred Thousand Mang Mountains ten years ago?
Not only did he not see it, but it seems that the people in Jiang village and even his grandfather didn’t see it either.
Otherwise, such a strange sight appearing in the sky would surely have caught their attention.
Could it be that one cannot see the Mirage’s appearance while in the One Hundred Thousand Mang Mountains?
So, at this moment, are they also unable to see this Mirage?
"Boom!"
At that moment, the ninth colorful ray of light in the sky finally took shape.
Then suddenly, the nine colorful clouds began to vibrate together, and started to extend continuously, covering a wider and wider area.
Looking up from underground, Mirage seemed to have turned into the source, while the nine colorful clouds flowed out like nine magnificent rivers from the source.
Rushing in all directions, making a rumbling sound, yet impossible to see where they were heading.
To Jiang Yun, they didn’t seem like rivers, but more like seas!
"It’s going to appear, it’s going to appear!"
Suddenly, Jiang Yun heard many excited voices from the Seeking-Tao Sect disciples, while he looked confused, not understanding what was about to appear.
But the next moment, his eyes suddenly lit up with an amazing light, finally understanding why these disciples were so excited!
"Buzzing!"
He saw countless beams of different colors starting to light up above the river formed by the nine colorful clouds.
Each beam of light represents something appearing.
In just a moment, the nine-colored stream spanned over thousands of miles of rivers, and countless things appeared.
These things include strange-looking magical tools, shiny elixirs, and even various strange items that Jiang Yun couldn’t even name.
Judging from the colorful light emanating from each of these things, Jiang Yun could tell –
These are all treasures!
Just obtaining any one of them is enough to greatly increase a cultivator’s strength.
These treasures, hidden beneath the nine-colored river of clouds, remain unknown to people.
But with the rushing force of the river, they are being overturned from the riverbed one by one, finally seeing the light of day.
Countless sounds of swallowing saliva kept coming out from the mouths of everyone witnessing this scene, but no one dared to really rush into the sky, into the river, to snatch those things.
When Mirage first appeared, many cultivators rushed toward the sky, wanting to seize those treasures.
However, in the end, any cultivator who entered the range covered by the colorful light was instantly killed by an invisible force.
It was only after that moment that everyone finally understood that those things indeed existed.
However, they only existed within the world inside Mirage, and what appeared in the river was just an illusion!
Welcome to Mirage!
Now, Jiang Yun finally truly understood why all cultivators, all sects, valued the opportunity to enter Mirage so much.
Those magical weapons, pills, martial arts treasures – even if one could obtain only one-tenth or even a hundredth, it would be enough to increase a sect’s power.
With the successive appearance of these treasures, the scene in the sky had become truly spectacular to the extreme.
The river made of colorful light stretched for thousands of miles, with endless treasures floating within it, sinking and rising.
Being able to see this scene is already a lucky event in one’s life.
Although everyone was fascinated by the spectacle caused by Mirage’s appearance, some couldn’t help but remark, "Strange, when Mirage was opened before, there were treasures revealed as well, but never this many."
However, there were also some who were not surprised and said, "What’s so strange about this? The world inside Mirage is always different, and this time, it’s very likely to be a vast world!"
Yes, the number of treasures brought out by Mirage each time is closely related to the world it presents inside.
The more treasures there are, the larger the world inside may be, while fewer treasures could mean a smaller world.
Just then, Jiang Yun, along with the other ninety-nine people on the square, heard Dao Tianyou’s voice at the same time.
"Dear disciples, Mirage is about to open, but before you enter, I have some words of advice for you."
"And after you’ve heard these words, you must keep them to yourselves and not tell anyone else!"
Although everyone knew that Dao Tianyou, as the sect master, would definitely have something to say to them before Mirage opened, no one expected his first words to be so serious and solemn.
"You may come across these treasures once you enter Mirage. Whatever treasures you obtain will belong to you, the sect will not claim them."
"However, I need you to bring back something for the sect!"
Although no one spoke, everyone had the same question in their hearts.
What could be more important than these treasures?
Until Dao Tianyou’s voice rang out again, "Fortune!"
