Chapter 742: Chapter 395: Water Spirit Pearl
"I need time, can you buy me some?"
Ji Ziyue opened her eyes and looked at Gu Sheng with resolute determination.
Gu Sheng nodded, "I’ll do my best."
Then, Gu Sheng took a deep breath and began to mobilize the True Qi within his body, prepared to resist the unknown forces of the Illusion Realm.
Just then, Wuzhiqi’s voice echoed in the Illusion Realm, "You little brats still dream of escaping my Illusion Realm? How ridiculously laughable."
Gu Sheng did not respond but started searching the Illusion Realm for any vulnerabilities.
At the same time, he was poised to face whatever danger might arise at any moment.
Meanwhile, Ji Ziyue focused entirely on sensing the flow of energy within the Illusion Realm.
Ji Ziyue closed her eyes and, through her sensitivity to the energy flow, identified a specific direction.
She understood that Wuzhiqi, associated with water, controlled the entirety of the Illusion Realm.
According to the River Map and Luo Book, the Kan position in the west was the very center of Wuzhiqi’s power.
But adjacent to the Kan position were the Kun and Gen positions, which were connected to earth.
The principle of earth overcoming water meant those areas were likely the weakest points of the Illusion Realm’s strength.
"Gu Sheng, listen to me!"
Ji Ziyue called out nervously, and then said, "We need to escape from the Kun and Gen positions. Now, attack the northwest corner with all your might—it’s the weak point of the Illusion Realm!"
"Northwest... corner? This place is utter chaos. How are we supposed to find a northwest corner?"
Gu Sheng heard her words, and a hint of bewilderment flashed in his eyes.
"It’s right there!"
Ji Ziyue spoke, pointing toward the northwest direction.
Gu Sheng trusted Ji Ziyue’s judgment and immediately nodded in agreement.
Afterward, Gu Sheng took a deep breath, concentrating all his True Qi into his palms, preparing to unleash his strongest strike.
"Break!"
Gu Sheng shouted forcefully, his voice reverberating through the Illusion Realm.
Simultaneously, he unleashed his full power, channeling it toward the direction Ji Ziyue had pointed.
In an instant, the very edges of the Illusion Realm seemed to tremble.
Suddenly, the air within the Illusion Realm surged violently, responding to Wuzhiqi’s apparent fury.
Gu Sheng’s heart tightened; he knew this was no time for hesitation.
Without delay, he leaped forward, his palms slicing through the air once more as he struck fiercely toward the northwest corner.
His energy, sharp as a blade, cut through the mists of the Illusion Realm, directly targeting the weakest point.
"Boom!"
With a deafening crash, Gu Sheng’s energy struck the northwest corner of the Illusion Realm, causing a fissure to appear instantly.
"Crack!"
The fissure rapidly expanded, as if an invisible force were tearing apart the Illusion Realm’s constraints.
Wuzhiqi’s voice arose again, this time tinged with surprise and anger, "You... how is this possible...?"
Gu Sheng did not respond, staying focused on sensing the changes in the fissure.
As the fissure widened further, a beam of light finally pierced through it, illuminating the entire Illusion Realm.
"Go now!"
Ji Ziyue yelled loudly.
She and Gu Sheng simultaneously leapt into the beam of light, escaping the Illusion Realm.
When the two of them took in their surroundings, they realized they had returned to the lakeshore.
"No time to waste! Let’s go!"
Gu Sheng said, grabbing Ji Ziyue before leaping dozens of meters away from the lakeshore.
Then, Gu Sheng took off without turning back.
At his speed, he could cover dozens of miles in mere breaths.
The wind howled past their ears as Gu Sheng carried Ji Ziyue, moving swiftly across the mountain forest.
Their figures, like streaks of lightning, sliced through the air, leaving behind only a faint breeze.
Gu Sheng internally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking they had successfully escaped the Illusion Realm’s control.
However, Ji Ziyue’s brows gradually furrowed.
Despite Gu Sheng’s incredible speed, she realized they didn’t seem to be getting farther from the lakeshore; instead, they seemed to be circling around it.
As the realization hit her, an unsettling feeling grew in Ji Ziyue’s heart. Could this be...
"Gu Sheng, stop!"
Ji Ziyue suddenly shouted, tugging on Gu Sheng’s sleeve.
Gu Sheng stopped immediately and turned to look at Ji Ziyue, "Stop? Why stop? We need to get away from the lake!"
"Get away? Look closely—have we truly left yet?"
Ji Ziyue shouted.
Gu Sheng halted completely, gazing around them, his heart filled with astonishment.
"What’s going on? Didn’t we... already escape?"
"Take a proper look. We haven’t gotten out; we’ve been circling the lakeshore the whole time."
Ji Ziyue interrupted him, pointing at where they had just escaped from. "Look, we’re back at the starting point."
Gu Sheng followed her finger and looked in the direction she indicated, his complexion instantly turning pale.
They were indeed back at the lakeshore. The frantic escape had, in the end, only led them in a circular loop around the lake.
Once again, they stood right where they had started!
"This... this can’t be possible."
Gu Sheng was dumbfounded.
All that energy he had poured into their flight—was it just to boost his lung capacity?
Just then, Wuzhiqi’s voice echoed once more.
"You foolish humans. Did you truly think you could escape my Illusion Technique? You’re merely deceiving yourselves."
Wuzhiqi’s tone carried a mocking disdain.
Anger flickered in Gu Sheng’s eyes; he hadn’t anticipated falling into Wuzhiqi’s trap again.
Drawing a deep breath, Gu Sheng turned to Ji Ziyue and said, "It seems we have no choice but to fight to the death."
Ji Ziyue gazed at Gu Sheng, worry shadowing her expression.
She knew Wuzhiqi’s power was unfathomable, and Gu Sheng was far from being his match.
This battle wouldn’t be without tremendous risk, but at this moment, they had no other options.
"Gu Sheng, try to release my constraints; perhaps I can help you uncover a weakness."
