Wizards in the world of cultivation

Chapter 68 Reading Memory
The fourth floor houses a large, multi-functional laboratory and a small restraint room.

Su You carefully took out the Soul-Capturing Talisman, which contained the soul of the late-stage third-tier mirage demon.

He hadn't had time to deal with the demon soul, mainly because he wasn't confident he could fully access its memories. Just like when he searched Lu Qingshu's soul before, he only managed to retrieve a very small fragment of information, mostly recent memories. He couldn't access the deeper memories at all.

Now that he's inside the Wizard Tower, with the tower amplifying his soul, it's easier to read his complete memories if he tries to search his soul.

Su You was very curious about the Mirage Realm and even the Mirage World, but the place was too dangerous, and he dared not explore it without knowing its details.

Moreover, it cannot solve the problem of the soul leaving the body, and there is no way to enter it.

Su You gently tore the talisman, and a white demon soul slowly emerged.

"Human, what do you want to know? I'll tell you anything I know, as long as you spare my life..." the mirage demon pleaded repeatedly.

"Still trying to fool me?" Su You sneered. The illusion had just flashed through his eyes. In his home turf, they still wanted to use this level of illusion to fool him.

Su You threw it directly onto the control panel and used the binding magic array to completely bind it, also sealing its ability to speak. He had no time to listen to the other party's bewitching or cursing.

The information he wanted to know could be found simply by looking within the other party's demon soul.

Su You's spiritual power was amplified more than three times by the Wizard Tower. Although it might not be comparable to the divine sense of a Nascent Soul cultivator, it was definitely enough to crush the demon soul in front of him.

Charyl's Memory Search Technique!

His spiritual power, like a gentle stream, silently invaded the other's soul, starting by reading from the shallowest layers of memory.

The scene before Su You's eyes seemed to be a reversal of time, showing scenes from before the mirage demon appeared, slowly flowing back to the past.

This process lasted for several hours. Fortunately, the Wizard Tower provided a buff, otherwise it would have been difficult to endure.

“There are indeed fifth-order mirage demons in this mirage maze, but…” Su You frowned as he thought of the information he had obtained after reading his memories.

Within the Mirage Realm, the strongest being is not the fifth-tier mirage demon, but a peak fifth-tier mirage dragon. All the mirage demons depend on this mirage dragon for survival.

The Mirage Realm is a special space created by the Mirage Dragon based on its innate abilities, and it is inhabited by a large number of souls.

As for the purpose of these souls, the mirage demon didn't know either. It simply followed orders from above, collecting the souls of mortals outside every year and submitting them.

“Mirage Dragon, innate ability…” Su You’s eyes lit up.

The Mirage Dragon, a special type of dragon, possesses undeniable innate abilities. If a Mirage Dragon could be used as material, it would be highly likely to master a powerful talent like the Mirage Realm.

The development of the Mirage Realm controlled by the Mirage Dragon is still too crude. If Su You were to manage it, he would definitely be able to create something amazing within it.

Moreover, this mirage is also an excellent experimental field for souls, which will definitely be of great help to future research on souls.

Su You carefully examined the memories on the mirage demon's body, trying to find out if the mirage dragon had any offspring and what their strength was.

If this mirage dragon doesn't have any offspring, then unless Su You's strength increases to a very high level, at least to the level of a third-tier wizard, he won't be able to fuse with it.

This is only a prerequisite for integration; whether or not we can actually win over the other party is still uncertain.

A moment later, Su You smiled and said, "As expected, it has descendants. This mirage dragon has lived for hundreds of thousands of years, how could it not have any descendants?" According to the mirage demon's memories, the descendants of the mirage dragon are considered royalty in the Mirage Realm, and are the strongest force there. The clan even has several fifth-order mirage dragons, as well as a large number of fourth-order mirage dragons.

Furthermore, his bloodline possesses a powerful ability to suppress mirage demons, which explains why he is able to control all the mirage demons within.

In that case, we might be able to find a second-tier mirage dragon with royal blood among them.

This time, Su You decided to give the Mirage Dragon's bloodline to his twin clones for fusion.

After all, the twin clones are not known for their combat prowess; they spend most of their time in their cave researching, making them even more in need of this kind of support talent.

Moreover, the Mirage Dragon's other talents are also quite strong. It possesses super strong illusionary abilities, which can also give the twin clones an extra layer of protection.

However, the challenge lies in safely entering the Mirage Maze and bringing out the second-tier Mirage Dragon.

After all, this Mirage Realm is a powerful ability similar to a domain, created by the convergence of countless mirage demons and mirage dragons.

Only those who are mirage demons or mirage dragons can safely enter and exit.

"Mirage demon! Yes, it's a mirage demon!" A thought suddenly popped into Su You's mind.

That is to control a mirage demon from the outside to enter it and help him bring out a second-tier mirage dragon.

Mirage dragons are extremely rare outside, but mirage demons are not uncommon; these demons can be found in some rivers, seas, and lakes.

Su You had bought several Mirage Spirit Pearls before, but none of them possessed that kind of spirituality. It seemed that only Mirage Spirit Pearls produced by the Mirage Demons in places like the Mirage Maze possessed spirituality.

He was also worried that only the mirage dragons in the Mirage Maze would possess the talent of the Mirage Realm, which was why he was determined to capture the mirage dragons inside.

After all, mirage dragons are rare in the outside world, but they are relatively easy to obtain if you are willing to spend a lot of money, especially since Su You only wants a second-tier mirage dragon.

As for whether the mirage demons from the outside world can successfully infiltrate the mirage maze, he doesn't know for the time being and can only wait and try again later.

Su You isn't in a hurry to capture the Mirage Dragon right now, since it will take some time for the Twin Avatars' spiritual power to improve.

A mental energy potion for apprentices has been successfully developed and prepared by the twin clones. Initial trials have shown promising results. If it can be used continuously, mental energy can reach the limit of a third-level apprentice within five years.

However, whether it's potions from the wizarding world or elixirs from the cultivation world, repeated use will lead to drug resistance.

According to Xiao Bei's calculations, after using about fifty doses of the drug, drug resistance would develop, and continued use would no longer have the effect of improving mental strength.

Other types of apprentice-level mental potions definitely still need to be researched, so it will be difficult for the twin clones to improve their wizarding level in the short term.

"seal up!"

The white, illusory figure was sealed off in layers and sent to the isolation space below the binding platform. Not only were there numerous barrier formations to prevent external forces from probing, but Su You also used a special material from the cultivation world to achieve an even better isolation effect.

He kept the mirage's soul for now, as it might come in handy later.
