Chapter 132 - 24

Chapter 24: Fu Shiyan Saves the Day!The thin veil that seemed to shroud his vision suddenly dissipated, and the distorted streets and deathly silent space receded like a tide.The surrounding scenery became abnormally "clear" at an unnatural speed.But this was by no means a return to reality!A deeper, more heart-palpitating sense of eeriness replaced the previous blurring.Shi Nian's voice, carrying a cruel smile, seemed to come from all directions, echoing leisurely:"Welcome to my 'Remnant Dream' world... Here, you will experience the most authentic fear, and then, in endless pain and lostness, you will end yourself.""Enjoy it, genius."Watching the illusion before him become increasingly solid and imbued with an eerie sense of "reality," the observing Tang San's heart continued to sink.Although he knew this was a simulated memory, he couldn't help but feel intense worry for the "self" in a desperate situation. Facing the full-force pursuit of a Spirit Saint, how could someone at the Spirit Ancestor level resist?However, the Tang San in the simulation did not show the expected panic. Instead, he revealed an extremely complex expression—it wasn't fear, but more like... the heartache of having made a certain decision?It was as if the price he was about to pay made him feel more reluctant than the life-and-death crisis before him.The mystery was soon revealed.Under Shi Nian's playful gaze, like a cat watching a mouse, the simulated Tang San took a deep breath and solemnly took an object from his chest.It wasn't some divine weapon, but a seed that flowed with a deep, dark blue luster, as if life were pulsing inside—a plant seed?He gazed at this seemingly ordinary seed in his palm, his eyes filled with awe, whispering to himself as if communicating with some existence:"Next... I'll leave it to you, Master."Before his voice fell, the blue spirit power in his body, like an opened floodgate, was poured unreservedly and violently into that blue seed!Then, with a toss of his arm, he threw the seed, which had absorbed a massive amount of spirit power, into the void in front of him!"Hmm?"Shi Nian's brow furrowed, a trace of doubt flashing through his mind."A deathbed struggle? What use is bringing out a seed?"In his Remnant Dream domain, he ruled over everything. He absolutely did not believe a Spirit Ancestor could pull off any tricks.However, the thrown seed did not fall to the ground as he expected, but suspended in mid-air. Immediately after, a sudden change occurred!The seed began to grow crazily at a speed visible to the naked eye! But its growth form completely exceeded common sense—it didn't turn into vines, nor did it turn into a tree, but quickly outlined and condensed into a clear humanoid silhouette!A humanoid figure made of pure wood!Shi Nian was stunned at first, then as if seeing the most ridiculous thing in the world, he couldn't help but let out a mocking laugh:"Hahahaha! You think you can resist my Remnant Dream Spirit with this kind of ghostly trickery?Kid, you're way too naive!If a Spirit Ancestor like you could break my Spirit, then wouldn't my Spirit Saint cultivation have been cultivated onto a dog's body?!"However, his laughter stopped abruptly, like a rooster being grabbed by the throat.Because that wooden humanoid was undergoing a change that made his soul tremble!The wooden surface quickly became smooth, fine skin textures emerged, and the features became clearly visible and lifelike.At the same time, a set of deep black brocade robes silently covered it, the hem moving without wind. In the blink of an eye, a living young man with an ethereal and refined temperament replaced the previous wooden figure, standing quietly within the illusion.After the person appeared, his gaze first swept over the distorted environment with a slight scrutiny, then he slowly turned his head to look at Tang San behind him. A faint, indifferent smile curled at the corner of his mouth, and his voice was as gentle as jade:"Little San, it seems you've run into quite a bit of trouble.""Master!"Seeing this person, the simulated Tang San's tense nerves instantly relaxed. His face flooded with a sense of relief, joy, and immense respect. He immediately bowed, performing a solemn salute."This disciple was careless for a moment and was actually ambushed by this scoundrel, falling into his Remnant Dream illusion.In desperation, I could only use the plant incarnation bestowed by Master. I trouble Master to take action and resolve this deathly tribulation for Little San!"His words were filled with affection and awe for his Master, as well as a hint of shame for having to use such a precious trump card."Senior Fu Shiyan!?"At the same time, the observing Tang San's heart was already experiencing stormy waves!He looked at the suddenly appearing, strange yet familiar young man in utter shock.[How could he appear here? Transforming from a seed? This... what kind of method is this?!]The eerie scene before him completely exceeded Shi Nian's scope of understanding.A seed transforming into a living person in an instant? This was simply unheard of!Before he could recover from the massive shock, the transformed Fu Shiyan had already turned his gaze toward him.That gaze was calm and rippleless, yet it carried a profound pressure that seemed capable of piercing the soul."Shi Nian? A mere Spirit Saint."Fu Shiyan's voice remained flat, yet it carried an unquestionable authority. "What do you want to do to my disciple?"The moment his voice fell—"Buzz!"The entire Remnant Dream illusion let out an overburdened wail!The scene began to distort and change crazily, colors stripped away and recombined, and the rules of space were forcibly altered!If one observed closely, they would find that in Fu Shiyan's deep eyes, an extremely faint crimson light was flashing!The dominance over the illusion had silently changed hands!The cruel smile and mockery on Shi Nian's face froze completely, replaced by boundless fear and disbelief!He found that his control over his body, his Spirit, and this space was rapidly draining away!What made his soul fly out even more was that countless deep blue, incredibly tough vines appeared from nowhere, like living shackles, instantly binding him tightly, making him unable to move!"No! This is impossible!!"Shi Nian let out a desperate roar, struggling desperately, only to find his spirit power was like a stone sinking into the ocean, unable to shake the restraints on him in the slightest."Who are you?! Who are you?!!"He had traversed the world of Spirit Masters for many years, relying on his Remnant Dream Spirit to be invincible. When had he ever encountered such an eerie and terrifying situation!His own Spirit and his own Spirit Abilitys had actually had their control seized by someone else in an instant! This had completely overturned his understanding!Fu Shiyan did not pay attention to his roar, but simply looked at Tang San, as if handling a trivial matter:"Go ahead, Little San.He has fallen into my 'Illusory Domain of Reality and Fiction.' Within this domain, time and space are all controlled by my thoughts.After three hours, the illusion will naturally dissolve."He paused, his tone casual yet deciding Shi Nian's fate. "As for his life or death... it is up to you to dispose of him.""Thank you, Master!"The simulated Tang San responded solemnly, looking at the bound Shi Nian, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.[P.S.
