Chapter 157: Into the Virtual Realm
Bu Shiyi couldn't help but ponder. Could the total number of floors in the Tower of Trials correspond to all the cultivation realms? If so, that would mean this virtual world mapped out the entire path of cultivation. However, only the boss would know the truth behind this mystery.
Meanwhile, Wei Yi and his companions had already paid their spirit crystals. As they approached Luo Chuan, the image on his monitor caught their attention.
"Is that... the Ghost Face Vine? You can fight it in the Tower of Trials?" Liu Ruyu asked, her curiosity piqued.
"Well... you could say that," Bu Shiyi replied thoughtfully, nodding slightly. If you can even reach the fourth floor, she added silently.
Liu Ruyu frowned in confusion. "What do you mean, 'you could say that'? Is it a yes or a no? Why such a vague answer?"
Before Liu Ruyu could get further clarification, Bu Shiyi had already put on her helmet and entered the virtual world, leaving Liu Ruyu feeling slightly ignored.
For the second time that day, Liu Ruyu felt her presence brushed aside. As the saint of the Jade Pool Holy Land, she had never been treated this way. Twice, in one small store? If she told anyone, they wouldn't believe it. Yet, despite her indignation, she couldn't deny the intrigue this mysterious shop evoked.
As the others immersed themselves in the virtual world, Liu Ruyu found herself alone. With no other choice, she took a seat, placed the helmet on her head, and prepared to see for herself what this so-called immersive holographic world was all about.
The moment the helmet activated, Liu Ruyu felt her spirit ripple as if shifting to another plane. Within a blink, she found herself in a pure white space, her physical body replaced with that of an ordinary mortal.
"This is the so-called starting space? There's no difference between this and reality!" she exclaimed, astonished.
Although she was aware this was an artificial environment, the lifelike sensations were overwhelming. If a space like this could be created, who was capable of achieving it? Even the legendary Eminences or Celestial Ascendants likely couldn't craft such perfection.
