Chapter 59 - 57: The Eldest Apprentice Brother
An hour later, eighty-one people gathered in the hall. Instantly, two puppets at the guardian’s door moved, their eyes emitting a red glow. Their long swords fiercely plunged into the copper rings on the door.
The copper door creaked open slowly.
Ye Qiu followed the crowd into the door when a burst of white light hit him, and soon he could no longer see the people around him.
He suddenly saw the Demon Clan and Witch Clan invading; the Great Elder, Sect Leader, Shun Hua... one by one, they died in front of him. Sword Pavilion was occupied, the people suffered immensely, and the world turned dark and gray as despair loomed over everything.
Then the scene changed; he was reborn, stopping Qingling’s Ascension, halting the alliance of the Demon Clan and Witch Clan. The Great Elder, Sect Leader, and his fellow disciples did not die. Sword Pavilion was safe, there was universal celebration, and the entire Cultivation World was thriving.
This was an Illusion Realm, capable of invoking the innermost fears and desires, but he was Ye Qiu, who had lived through countless lifetimes, and was not controlled by the illusions.
Upon opening his eyes, he found himself on a wooden bridge, surrounded by many others who were trapped within the illusion.
"Wake up, stop dreaming," Ye Qiu said, slapping Chen Qingchi’s face repeatedly until it turned red before he finally snapped out of it, his face still holding an unreceded smile.
This was due to his simple nature and lack of experience, which is why he could wake up so quickly with Ye Qiu’s help.
In contrast, some of the cultivators among them were laughing one moment and crying the next, drawn into various scenes by the Illusion Realm, with their spiritual energy in their Dantian going haywire, swinging swords and knives around.
