Chapter 685: Willingly

d my master. He said that even a powerful celestial being wouldn't be able to do it, so no one should be able to cast such divine powers."Jiang Yun nodded, although he was fully prepared, he was still..."I am you!"

This suddenly appearing “Ginger Cloud”, although looking exactly like Ginger Cloud in appearance and clothing, his body was transparent.

Just as, he is the illusion.

"You, are you me"

Looking at the other person, Jiang Yun couldn't help but murmur to himself, and he noticed that everyone around him hadn't noticed this suddenly appearing illusory self.

Obviously, the other party, only oneself can see.

"Yes, you are me, and I am you. Since you can't destroy all of this, let me help you!"

As soon as the words left her mouth, the ethereal ginger clouds suddenly reached out and waved heavily towards the side.

Then, a scream of "Ah!" suddenly pierced the air, instantly silencing the lively atmosphere within the room.

All eyes widened in shock, the laughter and chatter ceased abruptly, and everyone stared blankly in the direction from which the screams had originated.

There, lay a man from Ginger Village. His eyes were wide open, his thick palm clutching tightly at his throat. Blood seeped out from between his fingers, flowing incessantly.

"Heng'er, what's wrong with you What's wrong"

A middle-aged man pushed through the crowd and rushed to the man's face, crying out in pain.

The sound of the big Han's crying woke up everyone around him, and they all gathered around. Each person's face still wore a look of surprise and confusion, completely unaware of what had happened.

A man closest to Ginger Cloud seized him, pushing him towards the bridal chamber while shouting, "Everyone be careful, the murderer must still be in this room…"

However, before he could finish his words, his head flew off his neck and soared into the air.

Like a fountain, blood sprayed from his neck, splashing onto a hanging red lantern and adding another vibrant touch to its already crimson glow.

Although much of this blood also fell onto Ginger Cloud's body, it strangely passed straight through him without leaving a drop on his person.

“See, they are all fake, the blood is fake, everything is fake.”

You need to do nothing, just stand here and wait for me to kill them, destroy everything. Then this illusion will naturally shatter.

At the same time, another voice of his own echoed in Ginger Cloud's ears.

Seeing the other party slowly raise their hand, about to fall again, Jiang Yun suddenly woke up. He rushed to his face and grabbed his wrist, "Stop! You can't kill them!"

With this grab, of course, I grasped at nothing.

The illusory ginger cloud face said expressionlessly, "They are all illusions, they are all your obsessions, your heart demons!"

If you cannot let go of these attachments, if you cannot see through these illusions, how can you continue on the path of cultivation, how can you achieve the Great Dao

The illusory ginger cloud raised its hand again, and another person fell dead on the spot.

It was only then that Jiang Yun suddenly realized that in this illusionary realm, everyone, including himself, had no cultivation and were all just ordinary people.

Facing the slaughter of their own phantoms, they had no power to resist whatsoever.

The inexplicable deaths of three people in a row finally terrified those inside the house, and one by one they began to run outside.

But the faster they ran, the faster they died. In the blink of an eye, seven or eight people fell to the ground, becoming corpses.

Fresh blood dyed the ground crimson, and the stench of iron filled the air, transforming this once joyous house into a living hell.

The intermittent cries and wails, like sharp needles, relentlessly pierced into Jiang Yun's mind.

"These are all illusions deceiving you. Don't pity them, no matter what! Hold on, close your eyes, cover your ears, and soon, all this will be over!"

"After the completion, your Dao Spirit will be born, and you will successfully step into the Dao Spirit Realm!"

The illusory voice of Ginger Cloud echoed endlessly in Ginger Cloud's mind, causing his body to tremble gradually.

At the same time, in reality, Ginger Cloud's form, which had already merged with the seawater, gradually emerged. Her body was trembling uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Hai Changsheng shook his head and said: “It seems I overestimated him. Now he is trapped in an illusion and it will be difficult to overcome his inner demons!”

On the side, Hai Yuxue lightly bit her lip and said, "Could you not save him"

"Why should I save him"

Hai Changsheng coldly smiled and said, "If he can't even overcome his own demons, then no matter how outstanding he was in the past, no matter how many secrets he possesses, his path of cultivation will end here."

At this point, Hai Changsheng looked up at the sky filled with dark clouds and said, “Even a cultivator of a small cave heaven, not to mention me, I’m afraid even Heaven itself would abandon him!”

Hearing this, a hesitant expression appeared on Hai Yixue's face beneath the mask. She pondered for a moment and said, "Before, didn't you ask me why I was so concerned about him"

Hai Changsheng said calmly, "You think just by saying it now, I will go and save him"

Because, he...

Just as Hai Yuxue was about to speak, a low, beast-like roar suddenly erupted from Jiang Yun's mouth.

His trembling body gradually calmed down amidst the roar.

And within the dream realm, a blazing flame appeared on the illusory Ginger Cloud's palm. "Let's do this," it declared, "killing one by one is too slow, and would only bring you more pain. Allow me to end this for you quickly!"

Just as his flames were about to fly out of his control, turning everything around him into a sea of fire, Jiang Yun suddenly flashed and appeared in front of him.

I reached out again, grabbing his wrist. My eyes were cold as I glared at him and said, "Stop it!"

"Bang!"

This time, Jiang Yun's palm didn't grasp at empty air, but firmly grasped the opponent's wrist.

Looking at his own wrist, the illusory Jiang Yun shook his head helplessly. "Don't you understand I am you, and you are me. If you stop me, you are stopping yourself, and that is helping your heart demon!"

"Could it be that you truly desire to be controlled by your inner demons, to forever remain lost in this illusion"

Jiang Yun's gaze shifted from the other person's face and slowly looked around at those running figures, at those familiar faces that had become distorted with fear.

"My cultivation is for the purpose of protecting these people I care about, protecting everything that matters to me, and protecting the persistence in my heart!"

"Although all of this is fake, although they are indeed illusions, killing them and destroying this place would be like me giving up on everything I care about."

Then, what use would there be in my cultivation

"If you do not give up, you cannot achieve the Great Dao. If you do not give up, you will be controlled by your demons and forever fall into ruin..."

"Then, willingly!"

As he spoke, a breath of air began to emanate from Jiang Yun's body, steadily and rapidly rising.

In just a fleeting moment, he had reached his true cultivation level, the Ninth Heaven of the Cave Heaven Realm.

"So, I will continue to hold onto this persistence and continue to protect everything that matters to me!"

As Jiang Yun's last words fell, his palm suddenly tightened, and a tremendous force burst forth.

With a sound, under Jiang Yun's forceful grip, the illusory Jiang Yun's wrist shattered instantly.

However, Jiang Yun's own wrist also shattered along with it!
