Chapter 146: Illusion Realm

"Anyway, I have delivered the message; whether to go or not, Lord Wenguan Hou, you decide for yourself. However, if I were you, I would definitely use all my strength to obtain that sword."

The Divine Spirit paused and said, "That sword itself is a supreme treasure of this special place; it must be very powerful."

It had to be said that the Divine Spirit was very good at persuading people. Lv Fang was indeed tempted, but he also had certain doubts. "If that sword is so good, why don't you go, instead of telling me this news?"

He certainly didn't believe the Divine Spirit was such a good person.

The Divine Spirit shook its head, "Of course that sword is not so easy to obtain. That mountain is somewhat strange; once you step into it, illusions arise in clusters."

"My bloodline memories are very messy; it is very difficult to overcome the illusions there, otherwise I wouldn't have come to tell you about this."

"Lord Wenguan Hou, you should know that no matter where you are, if you want to obtain a supreme treasure, necessary risks must be taken."

"Whether to go or not is up to you."

After saying this, the Divine Spirit left with an indifferent expression.

Zhao Qingzhu looked in the direction the Divine Spirit left and murmured, "I didn't expect that there would be a mountain range and a sword in that place. What should we do? Should we go?"

Lv Fang pondered for a moment and said, "We must go. There is no better way now. If there really is a sword there and it is blocked by illusions, it is indeed possible that it is the key to restraining the Ox-Horned Red-Eyed Demon."

"I also think we should go."

Zhao Qingzhu said solemnly.

The two reached a consensus. After preparing, they took advantage of the bright daylight to head in the direction the Divine Spirit had mentioned. It didn't take long before they arrived at the edge of the thick fog.

Entering the thick fog, they did not go in circles but headed straight forward until they arrived in front of a mountain range. The fog in this place was much thinner compared to other places.

Dozens of zhang away, one could vaguely see the general outline of the mountain range.

At the entrance of the mountain range, there were two large mountains that were obviously much larger, standing there on the left and right, surrounded by fog.

In the mountain on the left, one could vaguely hear the faint sound of chains; the Ox-Horned Red-Eyed Demon should be trapped here by the chains.

The mountain on the right was relatively smaller, the vegetation on it was not very lush, and one could see the summit at a glance. On the peak of the mountain was a sword; judging from the exposed hilt, this sword should be a two-handed greatsword.

It was clearly an unremarkable sword, but looking at it, one inexplicably felt that this sword was filled with righteousness.

"It looks like this mountain is not high."

Lv Fang said as he walked toward the Jianshan.

Zhao Qingzhu reminded him from behind, "Don't push yourself too hard; if you find it's not working, retreat in time."

Lv Fang did not answer her, because as soon as he stepped onto the Jianshan, the surrounding environment changed abruptly. In a daze, he opened his eyes and found himself lying on a hospital bed; the somewhat pungent smell of disinfectant made him wrinkle his nose.

"Lv Fang, are you alright?"

His friend from his past life, Zeng Bian, asked.

Lv Fang hesitated and said, "This is a hospital bed? How could I be lying here, clearly..."

He remembered transmigrating to the Great Zhou Dynasty of the Fantasy World and becoming the Lord Wenguan Hou. Now he should be in the trial ground looking for Ling'er's mother; how could this be?

Zeng Bian said sadly, "Have you forgotten? We both agreed to go cycling; on the way, you suddenly suffered heatstroke and fell, and then you were hit by a truck."

"I was hit by a truck?"

Lv Fang shook his head in astonishment. Suddenly, he froze; he could not feel the existence of his legs. He violently threw off the quilt, only to discover that he had lost his legs. "My legs?"

Zeng Bian said with a sorrowful face, "To save you, there was no choice but to perform a high amputation. You must not let your mind wander; with your talent, even if..."

Lv Fang impatiently interrupted, "Why are my parents not here when I encounter such a thing, but you are here accompanying me? Is this an illusion? What did I encounter in the Western Regions?"

He was not talking to Zeng Bian, but to himself.

Without waiting for Zeng Bian to explain, Lv Fang's eyes focused, and the friend from his past life in front of him was split in two. In an instant, the hospital room twisted and disappeared.

Lv Fang looked up at the Jianshan and sneered. No wonder the Divine Spirit was unwilling to take the risk to get the sword; the illusion realm here was more powerful than he had imagined.

It was only at the foot of the mountain, yet the illusion he had stumbled into had actually made him lose part of his memory. One could imagine that the closer one got to the summit, the more powerful the illusions there would be.

"How is it? Don't push yourself too hard."

Zhao Qingzhu, who was further away, reminded him again.

Lv Fang gave a bitter smile, shook his head, and took another step upward.

The space twisted again, and his consciousness went blank for a moment. After he came to his senses, he was sitting on the balcony of a sea-view room. The sun was hot, and not far away was a swimming pool, where a woman was swimming.

The woman swam a lap, leaned on the edge of the pool, and called out sweetly, "Hubby, help me get some juice."

Seeing the woman's appearance, Lv Fang was stunned. It was Li Yu in a swimsuit. He suddenly smiled; he had worked hard his whole life making videos and finally became a somewhat famous minor celebrity.

Because of this, he had also gained fame, wealth, and married a beautiful wife.

"Hubby, I want to drink juice."

Li Yu brushed back her hair, her beautiful eyes blinking playfully, with a bit of coquettishness on her face.

Lv Fang chuckled, got up, picked up the juice, and walked over, saying casually, "Yu'er, I seem to have had a dream just now."

"What dream?"

Li Yu took the juice, took a sip, and asked curiously while resting her chin on her hand.

Lv Fang shook his head and said, "I also forgot what dream I had. Just now I felt it was very real, but as soon as I opened my mouth, I forgot it all."

"Hmm, hubby, your memory is so bad. Come, pull your beautiful wife ashore," Li Yu said with a smile.

Lv Fang reached out his hand subconsciously, but Li Yu mischievously pulled him into the swimming pool. Having succeeded in her prank, she laughed until she was doubled over.

"You really are... how old are you, still so childish."

Lv Fang climbed out of the water, glared at her dotingly, and splashed water at her in retaliation, not stopping until she took the initiative to beg for mercy.

Unknowingly, the two were snuggled up by the edge of the pool.

Li Yu smiled, "Let's travel around the country. I want to be by your side for a lifetime, not wanting to leave for even a moment, okay?"

Lv Fang smiled, "I also want that, but unfortunately, this is all an illusion."

"Hmm? What illusion?" Li Yu tilted her head slightly, looking up at Lv Fang with an innocent face, shaking her body coquettishly and saying, "Hubby, don't you like me? Don't you want to stay with me for a lifetime?"

Lv Fang stared at the Li Yu in front of him with a half-smile. After a long time, he sighed softly and said, "You are not Li Yu, at least not the Li Yu I like, so..."

Li Yu smiled and interrupted, "I don't even know what you're talking about, but this girl really loves you. I want to stay with you for a lifetime. Please, say something nice; I've been so proactive." ===== CHAPTER 147 =====
