Outside Heaven Dou City,
Nangong Lingyun stood before a towering ancient tree, his eyes gleaming with silver, purple, and blue light.
After observing for a moment, another large tree suddenly appeared behind him. The two trees were almost identical, even down to the unique shape and texture of each leaf, and the degree to which they swayed in the wind.
Nearby, Angel Yan activated her soul power and unleashed her pressure.
A gust of wind instantly swept through the area. The branches of the real tree shook violently, and a large number of leaves were torn from the tree, swirling wildly in the air.
There was no wind around the fake tree, but it reacted in the same way, almost perfectly synchronized in time, with not a single deviation in the trajectory of even a single leaf.
Only two words could describe it: perfect.
After testing the replication of real-world scenes, Nangong Lingyun began to experiment with creating completely virtual things.
The large tree vanished, replaced by an incredibly majestic celestial palace.
Besides the towering palace complex and the pavilions and terraces arranged in an orderly manner, there were also numerous exotic flowers and plants. There were pedestrians, carriages, and pets on the streets, while flying sword immortals, dragon-phoenix spirit beasts, and others were in the sky.
Not only was the scale immense, but the complexity was also incomparable.
Angel Yan immediately took to the air, her gaze intently examining the surroundings, occasionally offering her suggestions for improvements.
"The paving stones on the normal roads should show more wear and tear in the middle, while the sides should be relatively dirty and messy. There should also be accumulated dust near the corners of the walls."
"The horses' hair is too neat, and the carriages are spotless, down to the smallest corners and crevices.
I suggest you copy some different kinds of real objects, and then use them as materials to combine into the large illusion you want. Building it completely from your own imagination is really too difficult, too complex, and too prone to errors."
"Also, the aura of the dragons and phoenixes, as well as the effects caused by their powerful aura and vast pressure, have not been shown."
...
With the help of the Supreme Doppelganger and Angel Yan's corrections, Nangong Lingyun's illusion and phantom skills improved rapidly, like a rocket taking off.
Almost every hour, he was different from before.
Although he was practicing phantoms, the principle behind constructing a virtual world was the same, even if the method of using illusions differed.
His mental strength and precision in controlling mental power were not issues. The only thing he lacked was experience, which he could cheat his way through with the External Spirit Bone.
While Nangong Lingyun was immersed in honing his inner skills and enjoying himself, three days flew by.
The Shrek Academy students, whose legs were almost worn out from running, finally arrived at the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Tang San didn't know that shortly after they entered the town,
two small vendors selling weapons and potions on the roadside went to secluded, deserted places and took out snail-like bugs from their pockets, speaking into them.
The next morning, when Shrek Academy had finished resting and officially set off towards the forest, Nangong Lingyun also jumped out of the hotel window and followed them from a distance.
The town was still a hundred kilometers away from the edge of the real forest, and the Star Dou Great Forest's hundred-year zone was also much wider than ordinary forests.
Even as a Soul Master, after running all day, they only arrived at the mixed zone of hundred-year and thousand-year soul beasts at dusk.
Night was about to fall, and Flender saw a vacant lot and planned to take everyone there to set up tents. Nangong Lingyun decisively took the opportunity to activate his illusion.
Wasn't it always the case in novels that the pure and innocent would constantly encounter opportunities? He planned to artificially create a false opportunity for this kid.
He wanted to instill incorrect theories by making him "find" a great advantage, thus causing him to actively attach incorrect Soul Rings.
That level of trickery could fool even Yu Xiaogang,
He didn't believe that with his own abilities, he couldn't fool some nobody!
Nangong Lingyun activated the Chaos Holy Spirit within the spatial crevice. Five resplendent, orange Soul Rings shone with dazzling light, rotating rhythmically. His head External Spirit Bone and Supreme Doppelganger also activated simultaneously.
With the three powers combined, In just a second, all nine people collapsed to the ground, their consciousness completely submerged in the illusion.
In front of an unimaginable, majestic city, Ma Hongjun exclaimed, "Where is this? Weren't we just in the Star Dou Great Forest?"
"Flying Immortal City, does Douluo have a city with this name?"
Dai Mubai also gazed at the three iron-hooked, silver-stroked characters on the city gate, falling into doubt.
As a prince of the Star Luo Empire, he should have some impression of such a huge city.
Tang San pinched his thigh hard, feeling the distinct pain. He then looked around.
Trees, flowers, grass, the ground, the sky…
Everything was flawless, without a single sign of anything being amiss.
He murmured in extreme shock, "It doesn't seem like an illusion."
Flender and Zhao Wuji, along with the other teachers, immediately activated their Martial Souls and frantically tried to break free using various methods.
Unfortunately, this level of illusion was not easily broken even by Angel Yan, let alone them.
Fortunately, it wasn't long before the NPCs arranged by Nangong Lingyun made their appearance.
Yes, to make it realistic enough and to facilitate the subsequent connection, he directly set up a plot.
A woman in green, with a rather plain appearance but an extraordinarily refined temperament, flew out from the city gate. She slowly landed in front of the group and bowed slightly, saying:
"Excuse me, are you here to participate in the Flying Immortal Trial?"
Flying Immortal Trial?
Everyone was stunned, looking at each other.
Flender was about to ask about the situation when Tang San suddenly sprang forward, standing in front of everyone, and said directly to the woman in green: "Yes."
Although he didn't know exactly what had happened, he was inexplicably excited. Since it was called a trial, he probably would get some benefits after passing it, right?
"Please follow me."
The green-robed woman turned and walked towards the city gate.
Tang San immediately took the opportunity to warn the others with his eyes not to speak carelessly.
The sudden change had left Flender and the others at a loss, and since they couldn't leave, they had no choice but to follow.
A moment later, the giant bronze gates rumbled open, and a city of unparalleled prosperity suddenly appeared before their eyes, stunning everyone.
From the outside, it had only seemed to be a towering city wall, reaching up to the clouds and blotting out the sun.
But inside, the streets were packed with people, and in the sky, there were divine dragons, phoenixes, and sword immortals stepping on flying swords. The terrifying pressure made it difficult for them to even take a step.
As far as the eye could see, there were also tall palace complexes and pavilions and terraces scattered about, with strange giant trees reaching up to the sky.
At this moment, the second NPC appeared.
At the city gate, a majestic man in heavy armor wore a slight frown of displeasure. He furrowed his brow and said, "Why are the qualities of these trial takers so weak?"
But while he was grumbling, he flicked his finger, and a ray of light shot out from above to cover everyone.
The terrifying pressure instantly disappeared.
