Chapter 106: The Boundaries of Illusion and Reality

t."“You seem to…know quite a bit about the beast.” Jiang Wang said."Well, if you, at this height," she gestured to her abdomen and then moved her hand down a bit, "around here, were thrown into a pack...When Wang Changji stated that he had secured some fishing rights and could temporarily separate the divine name of Kui Niu, cutting off the influence of the Divine Residence.

Everyone knows that this seemingly daring action could turn out to be surprisingly easy.

But everyone, including Wang Changji himself, hadn't expected it to be so easy.

They even finished it in less than two breaths!

The Qí Niú, guarding the divine manor, was surrounded and killed, yet it still had time to spare for three breaths.

Yu Tiannu's power of the Pure Land was too strong, Wang Changji's soul power was too strong, and Jiang Wang's sword was too strong!

Zuo Guangshu and Fang Hueling also provided very effective support.

Everything happened too quickly.

>

Almost as soon as the divine light of Liú Pō Shān vanished, Kuí Niú leaped up and fell again, while the bolt of lightning flashed and disappeared.

Now, the mountain god Qilin from Liubo Mountain is dead.

The gigantic corpse lay still atop the mountain, like a fallen boulder.

Five figures, scattered across the peak.

Divine light once again enveloped this place.

At the crumbling Liupo Mountain, it stabilized for a brief moment again.

Beyond Liúbō Mountain, the sky still tilted.

That apocalyptic scene, isolated by the divine light, like a snowstorm outside your window.

Wang Changji stood before the corpse of Kui Niu, facing its head.

He was almost eye to eye with the qilin.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The Qilin's azure eyes were devoid of spirit, holding only the vestiges of terror and fear.

While Wang Changji's eyes were calm and distant, showing no sign of fluctuation.

He raised a long finger and tapped it on the Qilin's brow, then...pressed in.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

It's like pressing into a block of tofu.

After sinking about a finger's width, his hand began to move outward.

A fist-sized, dark blue sphere, almost pressed against his finger, “squeezed” out from the position between Kui Niu’s eyebrows.

This orb was filled with a heavy black mist. It felt both profound and weighty, yet also mysterious and unfathomable.

But occasionally, a spark of light would flash, piercing the darkness and revealing glimpses of nobility and majesty.

“The Qilin Ox Essence Pill is made from the essence of a Qilin Ox.” Wang Changji explained casually, “Through some special methods, it can also be made into high-quality Meridian Opening Pills.”

Here's the text translated to English, preserving the HTML tags:

"This thing is of great use to me." He put away the Kui Niu Yuan Dan, and his fingertips lightly sketched again.

A whole hide of a qilin ox was stripped away, floating in the air.

He looked at Jiang Wang and said, "The hide of the Qilin ox can be used to make drums. It would be very useful on the battlefield. Making an eight-sided one shouldn't be a problem. I am used to traveling alone and wouldn't need it, you take it."

The reputation of the Qilin war drum was so widespread that even Jiang Wang, a layman in military affairs, had heard of it. He naturally knew how precious it was.

He looked at Yue Tiannu and the others, and said directly: "This thing is valuable, we four will divide it equally."

Nor did he wait for anyone to refuse, with a flash of his sword, he had already neatly divided the skin into four portions.

As the sword was returned to its sheath, he also put away one of the rhinoceros hide sheets.

The words of refusal were already on Yue Tiannu's lips, but seeing this situation, she could only let out a sigh and say, "Then I shall humbly accept."

Reach out and take your share of the Kuiniu hide.

Fang He-ling said, “For so many years, I have been running around east and west, always as a vanguard. My men have never been numerous. Even if Kui Niu's skin is as precious as pearls, it is just dust in my eyes.”

He smiled and looked at Jiang Wang, saying: "Brother Jiang, would you be able to take care of this and buy it with spirit stones At five percent below market price... I'm truly short on funds and need some resources."

This is a gesture of goodwill.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

But Jiang Wang fell silent for a long time, muttering in a low voice, "I can't afford it."

Fang He's eyes widened in surprise, and then they turned cold.

In his eyes, this was undoubtedly Jiang Wang rejecting his advances. How could he have said that they would be fighting side-by-side and working together against Zhang Linchuan in the future, only to turn around and do this

> Has it only been this long

I've been so accommodating to you, and you still won't give me any face, using such a stiff excuse!

Even if you say you don't like it, it won't be used anyway!

As a high-ranking official of the Qi state, known as Sir Jiang! You can't even come up with a few hundred yuan stones

Jiang Wang looked at Fang He Ling's ugly expression, and for a moment felt wronged.

I wish I could open my own storage box to prove my innocence.

Could he possibly be a two-faced person

Although it's impossible to be friends with Fang Hualing, since they have already made an agreement to work together and eliminate Zhang Linchuan, there is no need for them to draw their swords against each other before Zhang Linchuan is killed.

The money pouch is indeed very clean!

“The main reason is that the spirit stones that Brother Jiang and I carry with us are prepared for the Shan Hai Realm, so it wouldn’t be convenient to use them for trading.” Zuo Guangshu smiled at the right time: “I have a way, sir, what do you think”

He put away his own piece of qilin hide and said, "An item like qilin hide is priceless and impossible to assess its value."

>

However, it's just a raw material. Making it into a war drum requires a complex process and the skills of a skilled artisan to make full use of it and avoid waste.

And the Qilin Ox in the Shan Hai Jing is also unmatched in strength compared to ancient legends.

Based on the price of this year's Tiānxiàng Zhànqí from Qiqiaoge, which was about a thousand yuán shí, it shouldn't be a problem.

You say converting it to five percent is not appropriate. Although it's inconvenient to make a move in the Shan Hai Realm, and there are risks of not being able to take it out, it's not worth cutting the price in half.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

According to my calculations, it seems reasonable.

"After explaining things clearly, Left Guangshu took out a square seal from his bosom, fiddled with it for a while, then passed it over: "Brother, hold this seal. With it, you can request payment of seven hundred yuan stones from any property under the Left family name. If there's none locally, it will be quickly gathered for you."

As the young master of a minor princely family in Chu, Zuo Guangsu might not have felt deeply enough about the cold aspects of this world. However, his upbringing had still taught him well how to handle relationships between people.

At this moment, by speaking up, he is protecting Jiang Wang's face while not rejecting Fang He Ling's. It also shows that Big Brother Jiang doesn't want to take advantage of Fang He Ling and owe him any favors, so he clearly states the price.

Let's do this deal at this price. Basically, it's even steven.

Fang Huerling readily took the seal: “Brother Jiang, of course I trust you, and this price is very fair.”

Jiang Wang didn't say anything, he just took the other piece of qilin hide as well.

These two hides can be made into four-sided war drums.

>

He had already made up his mind.

One-faced drum sends to Longchuan, he is a military genius, proficient in battle formation, most able to bring this thing into full play.

A drumbeat accompanies Li Fenghuang's departure. Sister Fenghuang, a woman of unparalleled courage, though I haven't witnessed her military prowess firsthand, simply by holding the fort on Binghuang Island, her strategic acumen is evident.

There's also the weighty and powerful Chong Xuan. This fellow is good at everything he does, especially in military affairs. He's always helped me with putting out fires, and I've eaten his food, drunk his drinks, and taken his things. When we return to Qi, it's only right to bring him a gift.

The last drum face, of course, was given to Yan Fu.

That's not really about military leadership... Master Yan could still make the gift-givers lose out He might even win back the other three drums.

It's a win-win situation!

"Don't you find this strange" Wang Changji suddenly asked.

He was asking Jiang Wang.

Because Jiang Wang's smile at this moment was rather subtle, with a look of having it all figured out, as if he had already grasped something profound.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Jiang Wang was stunned, returning from the beautiful reverie. He pondered for a moment and said: "Since entering the Shan Hai Realm, there have been too many strange things. Which one is Brother Wang talking about"

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

“Since you've received the true two seals of Huang Wei, this confirms 'heaven's will' in the Shan Hai Realm through this event. You must have also orchestrated the deaths of the two mountain deities.” Wang Changji asked, “After their deaths, did their bodies remain like this Qilin Ox”

The corpse of the qilin ox, stripped of its skin and with its essence core removed, lay there like a mound of fresh crimson flesh. Though its skin was gone, most of the blood remained locked within its muscles, refusing to spill out.

“I didn’t.” Jiang Wang shook his head. “Bi Fang's body was burned clean by me. As for the Huodou Seal... it was just a drop of essence blood given to me by the Huodou King Beast. It didn't die.”

Wang Changji was obviously taken aback.

This is not in line with his understanding.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

After some thought, he asked again: "Think carefully, did you truly burn Bi Fang's body completely clean If you burned it perfectly, how could his Bi Fang essence blood be preserved"

Jiang Wang was indeed a little confused.

Upon closer inspection, it seems that the Three-Headed Fire Scroll had already consumed Bi Fang back then, leaving only a single drop of blood behind. It's hard to say for sure if it was completely incinerated.

>

Wang Changji said again, “If you kill another mountain god and stare at its corpse, you will find that there will only be one drop of essence blood left in the end. This is the harvest of slaying mountain gods and sea gods in the Shan Hai realm. It allows you to obtain the corresponding imprints inheritance. This is also one of the world rules of the Shan Hai realm.”

“That's not right…” Jiang Wang frowned and said, “When we were at Diannan Abyss before, we even saw the phoenix named Jia Xuan from the Nine Classes of Phoenix. Its body was right in front of us.”

"First, it wasn't killed by you. Between the mountains and seas of the Shan Hai Jing, there is its own set of order, different from the involvement of outsiders. Second, according to what you described, whether it is alive or dead is uncertain. Third..."

Wang Changji looked at the sky where dark clouds were rolling and heavy snow was falling, and sighed: "Where in the world are there nine kinds of phoenixes, or Gaya Xuan"

Jiang Wang still shook his head: "What I saw with my own eyes, I will never fake."

Yue Tiannu also emphasized from the side: "At that time, both I and Zuo Guangshu were present. That body was indeed Phoenix without a doubt."

Wang Changji waved his hand. "I don't doubt your eyesight, nor do I deny that you truly saw Jiaxuan. What I'm saying is—in the real world, Jiaxuan didn't exist. Understand It only exists in this world. Only here, in the Shan Hai Realm, did the Phoenix have nine types."

Similar to the saying “There are nine types of phoenixes in the mythical realm of Shan Hai Jing,” something like that, Chaos might have also said.

"Are you saying that the Shan Hai Realm is a fabricated world" Jiang Wang hesitated, "How can you be sure of that"

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

Wang Changji said: "Actually, it can't be said that the Shan Hai Realm is a false world, because it already possesses reality."

"I'm even more confused!" Jiang Wang said.

Yu Tiannu, on the contrary, seemed to have caught onto something, lost in thought.

"In a real world, wouldn't such a powerful beast leave behind more than just a single drop of blood if it were killed" Wang Changji said, "It should leave its bones, its flesh, its core... those things we just divided amongst ourselves."

"You said that the beasts bestowed with divine names, once killed, would leave only a single drop of blood. Jia Xuan, you say the circumstances are different," Left Guangshu couldn't help but ask, "Then what about this Qilin Ox's corpse"

He felt that this person was indeed strong, but he suspected that he was trying to fool his own brother Jiang. The more he spoke, the more mysterious and convoluted it became.

Wang Changji didn't mind at all and said seriously, "The Shan Hai Realm doesn't exist. It was created by Huang Wei."

This statement came as a bolt from the blue, shocking the other four people present!

Such a real, vast world, is it merely the creation of Huáng Wéi Is this truly possible What kind of immense power could achieve such a feat

However, the person saying this was Wang Changji. Wang Changji had repeatedly demonstrated a deeper understanding of this world than others.

Jiang Wang looked at him, quietly waiting for him to persuade himself.

"Do you think the Nine Chapters Jade Bi is about using your physical bodies to cross space barriers and reach distant places If that were all it was, how could the Kunlun Realm have remained undiscovered for nine hundred years"

Wang Changji spread open his right palm, a ball of jade thread resting in its center. It was fishing line he had made from the Nine Chapters Jade Disk. "It merely brings you into a different set of rules, the rules of the Shan Hai Realm... or perhaps, Phoenix True's rules."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

He casually squeezed the jade thread, and it instantly transformed back into a jade bi. It was precisely the sentence from the chapter: "Therefore, you have come here. Come to this world, participate in Huang Wei's true game."

"This is a...world of fantasy."

"What is called the Shanhai Realm, what is called the Shan Hai Monster Record, is that fantasy interwoven with history and romance."

"Huang Wei's true legacy is nearly limitless power. Over countless years, it has evolved and transformed, bringing a world that was supposed to exist only in fantasy closer to reality, even imbuing it with a large degree of authenticity."

"As for me, I'm just a petty thief who happened to pass by someone's house. While the owner was away and the cats and dogs were busy fighting, creating chaos in the house, I took the opportunity to steal a sip of water."

"Chaos and Zhú Jiǔyīn were busy fighting, and I took advantage of this opportunity to use the power of the Shan Hai Jing to transform Qí Niú into reality."

“I can only do this much.”

Wang Changji said: "The fishing rights I'm fighting for are only enough to get me this far. But that's enough, and all I need is this one Kui Niu Yuan Dan."

Wang Changji's words are packed with too much information to digest.

But he didn't give it much time to digest.

But he asked again, "Have you seen Chaos... has it not been able to penetrate truth"

>

When asking this question, he was looking at Yue Tiannu instead.

This is a test.

Because both Jiang Wang and Zuo Guangshu might not be able to make precise judgments. And he clearly understood Yue Tiannu's uniqueness.

He had never seen chaos before, so he used a question, but his attitude was very certain.

Yuetian'nu, with a feeling of astonishment that was hard to express, slowly and solemnly said, "Indeed."

>

“Given its displayed power, with so many years of accumulation, it shouldn't stop before reaching the truth.” Wang Changji pointed his finger at the sky, indicating the might of this apocalypse.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"The reason why it cannot see through the truth is because it itself is just a product of this fantasy world. At its root, it is 'false', how can it see through the truth"

Unless... this world's shackles are broken, and it descends upon the mortal realm.

"So we know what Chaos wants to do now."

Wang Changji said: "Chaos wants to leave here, taking its power from the fantasy world and descending into the real world. It's not breaking out of a cage, but the boundary between illusion and reality!"
