The comments said I was deeply affectionate, I just added points by using an alternate account.

He withdrew his mental energy; he had already discerned the flaws in the illusion.

This illusion was so rudimentary and its content rather boring that it wasn't even qualified to interrogate his mind.

He reopened his eyes, raised his hand, and spiritual energy surged from his palm.

Whoosh!

The desolate landscape before them crumbled instantly, shattering like glass. The scorching winds vanished, the distorted light and shadows dissipated, and the coffin returned to the circular stone chamber.

The light and shadow in the center of the stone chamber had solidified into a human shape, with the outline of a shell vaguely visible around it. It had no face, yet it exuded a sense of oppressive power that inspired awe. It was impossible to tell whether a turtle had become a spirit or a human had become a turtle.

[This illusion is way too weak!]

The normal procedure would definitely involve a long, drawn-out explanation, but Brother Coffin skipped it to save us data.

[Meeting Coffin Bro in the Illusionary Realm is like kicking a hornet's nest.]

The chat was so engrossed in the conversation that people seemed oblivious to the world around them. Meanwhile, on Chen Guan's side, a humanoid figure of light and shadow slowly raised its hand, pointing to the other end of the stone chamber.

There, a new stone gate appeared out of thin air, its surface also covered with incomprehensible runes.

Meanwhile, outside the Xuanwu Pagoda.

Yin Chen was imprisoned in a howling ice cave by Wu Xuan's power.

Deep within the ice cave, gusts of solid, icy wind, sharp as knives, sliced ​​through his body.

He did not resist, but simply closed his eyes and sensed the pulse of the wind.

Wu Xuan's voice echoed in his mind: "The true meaning of the wind originates from heaven and earth and returns to all things. If you understand it, you can control the wind and break all laws. If you are confused by it, you will be swallowed by the wind and turn into ice dust."

Yin Chen's silver hair danced wildly in the wind.

He captured the trajectory of every gust of wind, feeling its gentleness and its fury.

Although his family's special ability was wind, and it had mutated further in his generation, they had never reached such a refined level.

What Wu Xuan bestowed was the true inheritance of the origin.

Is it related to his family?

Or perhaps the entire Xuanwu Pagoda is related to his family?

On the other side, Hong Yuan was thrown into a room made of countless ice crystals by Wu Xuan.

In the center, a gigantic ice crystal beast roared and charged toward her.

"roar!"

The ice crystal behemoth's claws were sharp, but Red Kite advanced instead of retreating, twirling the giant axe in her hand, and letting out excited whispers.

"Well done!"

She wielded her giant axe and confronted the ice crystal behemoth head-on.

Each collision unleashed a blinding flash of light and a deafening roar.

The ice crystal behemoth possesses the power of immortality; no matter how the red kite slashes at it, it can instantly regenerate.

However, Hong Yuan was also fearless and ruthless, and every attack she launched was ruthless and all-consuming.

Wu Xuan's voice echoed in Hong Yuan's mind: "The power of bloodline originates from Xuanwu. If you fight against it, you can temper your body and integrate it into your bloodline. If you retreat, you will be abandoned by your bloodline and turn into a mortal body."

Hongyuan couldn't understand what Wuxuan was babbling about; she just found the old tortoise extremely annoying.

But she could feel a strange power surging within her blood every time she was injured, repairing her body and making her power more refined.

Deep within, a dormant power is awakening.

Inside, Chen Guan gazed at the newly appeared stone gate. The fragments of the Xuanwu Token flickered subtly in his palm once more, guiding him forward.

Chen Guan stepped through the second stone gate, behind which was a narrow passage.

The smooth stone walls on both sides reflected his figure.

He continued to delve deeper.

At the end of the passage, light flowed, intertwining red and blue, casting a hazy hue over the path ahead.

He walked into a huge circular space.

The name of this place came to mind.

The purgatory of inner demons.

Light and shadow move erratically within the space.

One moment it was a warm and cozy hometown town, the next it became a bloody and gruesome battlefield.

A faint scent of rosemary permeated the air, attempting to numb one's will.

[Inner Demon Purgatory? That name alone sounds ominous.]

[It seems like Coffin Bro will have to go through the proper procedures this time; a direct jailbreak is probably not an option.]

I believe in Brother Coffin, the most unpredictable character of the Thousand-Handed Coffin Sound.

The illusion was activated immediately, attempting to depict the deepest fears and desires in Chen Guan's heart.

He "saw" himself lying in a coffin, sleeping day after day.

Time passed, the world changed, but he could never wake up.

This sense of powerlessness and forgotten loneliness is the fear that the illusion tries to impose on him.

However, Chen Guan's expression remained calm.

He wasn't without emotions; it's just that his emotions served his goals more.

Is the main body asleep?

This is a fact, and it is also the driving force behind his continuous efforts.

Forgotten?

He doesn't care what irrelevant outsiders think.

He knows best what he wants.

"This level of inner demon is too low quality; it's no different from the previous illusion," Chen Guan muttered to himself.

The illusion tried to shake him, but it only repeated the mission background that he was already familiar with.

He tentatively took a step forward, while simultaneously releasing his spiritual energy to explore the boundaries of the illusion.

The illusion reacted immediately, and a golden road appeared beneath its feet, leading directly to a magnificent palace.

The palace was filled with mountains of rare treasures, and even legendary martial arts manuals shone with an alluring light.

The illusion was trying to tempt him.

Chen Guan glanced at it briefly before looking away.

The little thing is quite intelligent.

Unfortunately, what he needed was power that could truly enhance his physical body, not these illusory temptations.

He continued forward, but the golden road vanished in an instant, leaving only a pitch-black abyss before him.

Countless vengeful ghosts howled in the abyss, trying to drag him into endless darkness.

He stopped at the edge of the abyss and tentatively took out a blank demon core from his storage ring.

With a gentle toss, the demon core fell into the abyss.

The vengeful spirits swarmed forward, but they were unable to affect the demon core in the slightest.

The demon core floated in the abyss for a moment, then began to draw power from it, and its luster returned.

Chen Guan understood the key to it.

He retrieved the demon core, then took out a few low-grade spiritual herbs from the ring and casually tossed them into the abyss.

The elixir withered rapidly in the abyss, but its medicinal power was absorbed by the vengeful ghost, which in turn strengthened its aura.

Chen Guan pondered for a moment. In that case, could he throw down all the demon cores he had already absorbed and then absorb them again?

The illusion seemed to sense Chen Guan's thoughts and, not giving him a chance to exploit the loopholes, the light and shadow distorted again.

This time, it is no longer a simple fear or desire, but a straightforward unfolding of the scene of his dormant self.

The coffin was dark and gloomy, and the original body lay quietly inside, its body bound by countless chains.

Baal's whispers, with their bewitching magic, echoed in Chen Guan's mind.

"With just one step, by offering your soul, he can awaken ahead of schedule, and you will gain power beyond all, no longer bound by any rules..."

【Baal?! What's this demon god doing here?!】

[This is fake, the tone is off, there's no "hehehe" sound, bad review.]

[Brother Coffin, don't believe it! It's the devil's temptation.]

Chen Guan remained completely unmoved.

Just like the comments said, there's no negative review without the "hehehe" sound. It's obviously a fake. With the end of the year approaching, there are more scammers.

Although he didn't download the anti-fraud app, it didn't stop him from being scammed.
