Chapter 154: Illusory Armament, Up to Your Imagination!

This was the first time that Zhou Lu had experienced this kind of scolding since she enlisted in the army. In that instant, her expression changed slightly. She wanted to retort but did not dare. Hence, she could only bow her head, but the indignation and injustice in her heart kept growing.

In the end, she whispered, “Shouldn’t cultivators of my generation do things in a just and forthright manner so as to follow the Great Dao?”

“Doing things in a just and forthright manner is one’s primary intention; attacking your opponent depends on means. Are they the same? What about the Great Dao? Do you think that the purpose of cultivation is to follow the Great Dao!” General Zhou had a strict expression and glared at Zhou Lu.

“The purpose of cultivation is for self-protection, survival, and killing! Only when you resolve all these issues do you have the right to follow the supposed Great Dao!” General Zhou seemed unwilling to say too much, and he stopped glaring at Zhou Lu, ignoring her.

Zhou Lu was taken aback. It was obvious that she had never heard this train of thought in White Deer Dao College. This was the first time that she had heard of it, and she was a little lost. She lowered her head in thought.

Meanwhile, on the battlefield that everyone was paying attention to, after the bald youth’s attack, after Wang Baole’s body flew backward and the distance between them increased, the bald youth glared at Wang Baole. After taking a deep breath and forcing himself to calm down again, a golden glow appeared deep within the bald youth’s eyes. He raised a finger on his right hand, putting it in front of his face, and spoke calmly.

“Master said that the Dao Enlightenment faculty of Ethereal Dao College can understand the myriad Dao of the Heavens and Earth, choose one to fuse with, and form a world. I, Wuchen, am foolish; I only created a drop of water. Please teach me, Fellow Daoist Wang.” At this moment, his voice seemed different, emanating a deep persistence.

Almost immediately after he opened his mouth and raised his finger on his right hand, a drop of water gathered from the surroundings, seemingly out of thin air. It was directly manifested on the bald youth’s fingertip.

This water droplet was clear, reflecting the light from all directions. In the blink of an eye, it seemed resplendent, and the moment that it appeared, all the light from the surroundings seemed to dim. This water droplet, unbelievably bright, became the center of attention!

The moment that the water droplet appeared, Lu Zihao’s expression changed completely. An unprecedented sense of danger stifled his breathing, causing him to instinctively retreat backward as though he wanted to get far away from this place.

That droplet of water made him feel like it was irresistible. In fact, he felt that his state of mind would be shaken like it was struck by lightning after just one look at the water droplet.

“What kind of Dharma spell is that? He didn’t even use talismans. Is he really at the first level of the True Breath realm? He claims that he’s from the Dao Enlightenment Faculty?”

While Lu Zihao’s state of mind was shaken, Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. The appearance of the water droplet also made him feel an inexplicable sense of danger. It was as though this water droplet contained some power that he could not understand. Even if it was only a sliver, this sliver of strange power seemed to be able to stir the surroundings and affect his whole state of mind.

This guy is from the Dao Enlightenment faculty! Wang Baole stifled his breath. Originally, Wang Baole did not think highly of the Dao Enlightenment faculty. Right now, the moment that he saw the water droplet, he felt that impression of the Dao Enlightenment faculty was a little different now.

But, so what if they’re from the Dao Enlightenment Faculty. He instinctively dodged against my attack just now. That means… as long as I get close to him, I can definitely send him flying with a punch!

After that temporary shock, a keen glint exploded from Wang Baole’s eyes, and a purple glow flashed deep within his eyes. At that moment, circulating all of his cultivation and unleashing his aura, he strode toward the bald youth.

As Wang Baole’s imposing might was created, he was like a sharp sword drawn from its scabbard. The moment that he strode forward, the bald youth seemed to feel Wang Baole’s force. He narrowed his eyes and flicked his right hand. Immediately, the water droplet left a resplendent mark and shot toward Wang Baole.

“You have no chance to get close to me again.”

Almost at the same time as the bald youth spoke, Wang Baole landed on one foot, his body shooting up and changing direction in midair. He wanted to avoid the water droplet, but this water droplet was special. At that moment, it exploded, forming a cloud of mist. With indescribable speed and tumbling crazily, it spread in all directions, enveloping Wang Baole.

As the mist surrounded him, Wang Baole’s vision was blurred. When he could see clearly again, his eyes immediately narrowed. At that moment, everything in his surroundings had changed. Lu Zihao and the mountain peaks had all vanished.

Even the viewing platform disappeared from the sky. It was as though there was only the mist left in the world. Standing there was like standing in a sea of mist, as though one was forcefully pulled into an illusion.

“An illusion?” Wang Baole’s breath hastened slightly, feeling cautious. Suddenly, the surrounding mist tumbled, and following the echoing waves of weird growls, many faces shot out from the mist. Without exception, all of those faces looked like Wang Baole’s!

They all had different expressions. Some were laughing, some were crying, some were gnashing their teeth in anger, and some were crying hysterically in desperation. There were even some showing greed. It was as though they wanted to express a human’s seven emotions and six sensory pleasures through different faces, and they were all whizzing toward Wang Baole.

Wang Baole’s expression changed, and he summoned Flying Frost Swords with hand seals using his right hand. Protective Beads exploded, forming a protective screen. But to the faces showing the seven emotions and six sensory pleasures, it had no effect. It was completely ignored by the faces and they passed through it, as though wanting to devour him and bite him to shreds, destroying his body and mind!

It’s pretty similar… to the Enduring Clan! Wang Baole’s expression changed. These faces made him think of his experiences in the debris mountain.

Just as Wang Baole’s state as mind was shaken, Li Wuchen’s voice resonated within the mist world.

“Fellow Daoist Wang, we from the Dao Enlightenment Faculty seek to understand the myriad Dao of the Heavens and Earth. After I fused the water droplet, I created with a thread of alien Spirit Blood given to me by my master, and it went through refinement by my master’s spells. I finally created this area—the ultimate transmogrified Illusory Armament!

“In the world of my Illusory Armament… everything is up to your imagination! You can see this place as a virtual world of your consciousness, so in here, you’re free to imagine. Even if you imagine that you’ve become a peerless master and come to battle me, it’s not an issue!

“However, this is my Illusory Armament, so no matter what you imagine in here, I’ll always be stronger than you. Master once said that you have tremendous potential. So, in here, I really want to know how great your ambition is when faced with your seven emotions and six sensory pleasures!”

As Li Wuchen’s words echoed, the faces charging toward Wang Baole all started roaring louder. As they suddenly got close to him, a cold glint flashed in Wang Baole’s eyes, and he immediately retreated backward.

Illusory Armament? What’s that?

Fighting on the basis of imagination? You can battle like that? Seems like those from the Dao Enlightenment faculty are all crazy after all…

With suspicion, Wang Baole tried imagining himself as an unstoppable giant. As that thought arose, his body expanded in the blink of an eye. In this world, he was unbelievably massive, as though he was able to hold up the heavens and support the earth.

You really can do that!

Shaken, Wang Baole felt that a power capable, shaking up the heavens and earth and destroying everything, was exploding within his body. However, at that moment, the illusory mist world expanded according. It was as though this world could contain any outrageous creation that Wang Baole’s imagination could come up with!

At that moment, the whizzing faces also expanded, fusing together with each other. Finally, a huge face seemingly blocking out half the sky appeared before him. With an aura even more imposing than Wang Baole’s, it flew toward him.

It was as though, in front of it, there was no such thing as an unstoppable giant!

At this moment, outside of the illusion, in the sky platform for the Combat Pavilion’s huge competition, the eyes of the Army, Federation officials, and Ethereal Dao College Elders were all wide open. In fact, many people stood up directly.

“This is…”

“Illusory Armament, this is a self-created spell of the former Federation President, Li Xingwen, when he was trying to gain enlightenment on Dharmic Armaments! He once said that he would use this spell to create a huge revolution regarding Dharmic Artifacts in the Federation. He would use that to obtain the approval of the Heavens and Earth and try to break through, thereby becoming the Federation’s only Nascent Soul expert!”

“Li Xingwen is a heaven-sent genius. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that his affinity for enlightenment is the best in the Federation. I’m surprised his disciple has the same affinity for enlightenment. He’s only a True Breath disciple, yet he can use this spell!”

In the eyes of the people watching from the viewing platform in the sky, on the battlefield where Wang Baole and Li Wuchen were, Li Wuchen was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. His lips quivered slightly, and he was chanting a mantra that outsiders could not hear.

In front of him, ten feet away, there was an enormous water ball. This water ball was turbid, as though there was mist tumbling within it. Although one could not see Wang Baole’s body clearly, he was trapped within that water ball!
