Chapter 396: Invincible?

Chapter 396: Invincible?

"Daoist Jiang, are you serious? The King of Illusions hasn't taken any disciples in the last two hundred years!"

The expression of Immortal Tianwu became serious, and several other Golden Core Realm cultivators mirrored his astonishment. They had heard of the King of Illusions. That was undoubtedly an unfathomable Nascent Soul Realm powerhouse!

Jiang Shun chuckled lightly. "This is no joking matter. If that wasn't the case, why would I bring out the Purple Pole Dao Academy's disciple token? Having her join is more than enough."

The Golden Core Realm cultivators fell into silence, some attempting to analyze the illusion, searching for a way to break through to it. However, they came to a shocking conclusion: they couldn't find a single flaw in this illusion! If they wanted to break it, they'd have to rely on their cultivation base to forcibly break it!

It was evident how terrifying the illusions of Sui Nianhua were. She would be invincible amongst those at the same cultivation level as her.

Feng Tingjian furrowed his brows, looking at Sui Nianhua with a hint of gravity in his gaze. "You're willing to let her join the Purple Pole Dao Academy with her talent?"

Jiang Shun chuckled lightly, "Why wouldn't I be willing? Have you all forgotten? That King of Illusions is also an ancestor of my Jiang Family!"

Fang Wanli was dumbfounded. "That rumor is actually true?"

They had indeed heard that there was an ancestor of the Jiang Family who had a profound cultivation base that was at the Purple Pole Dao Academy.

However, it never crossed their mind that it would be that King of Illusions....

"So that's it. No wonder when Daoist Jiang offended the crown prince of the Hidden Immortal Empire, the matter was somehow resolved. Turns out the King of Illusions is your blood relative," said Immortal Wutian with a sigh.

Jiang Shun chuckled lightly. "We can talk about this later. For now, let these two juniors have a spar."

With that, all eyes turned to Sui Nianhua and Fang Chen.

'He's going to lose,' thought Fang Lingxing.

She was secretly relieved, glad that wasn't the one who had to face Sui Nianhua.

She simply didn't have any way of breaking through Sui Nianhua's illusion. She would've been put at a disadvantage right from the very start.

Fang Lingxing looked at Fang Chen with mockery. You once made Big Brother Jue lose face with your Illusion Talisman. You're getting a taste of your own medicine now. This is karma.

Fang Lingxing, however, couldn't help but find it regrettable that Master Chen's disciple token would be taken away. She had to find a way to seize an opportunity during the trade conference now.

Fang Shang's expression grew solemn as he glanced at Sui Nianhua, feeling somewhat envious. "This kind of method..."

Immortal Tianwu and others caught on. It seemed that today's events were deliberately orchestrated by Jiang Shun. However, they knew they couldn't say much. Everyone here was a Golden Core Realm cultivator, and Jiang Shun's background was superior to theirs.

The smile on Sui Nianhua's face turned cold. "Are you insinuating that I'm intentionally causing trouble?"

With a thought, a stone lion, as large as a mountain, suddenly appeared in front of Fang Chen and stomped toward him.

A hint of mockery appeared on Sui Nianhua's face, as if she could already see Fang Chen's next move.

Fang Jue and the others' expressions were somber. "Is this attack real or fake?"

Judging from the momentum of the stone lion, it seemed real. However, this was the opponent's illusion, so truth and falsehood were intertwined. It was difficult to tell which was which!

It must be said that her illusion technique far surpasses the level of the Illusion Talisman. Even peak-grade, yellow-rank illusions talismans might not reach her level. No wonder she's so confident.

Fang Chen sighed inwardly.

He couldn't break through the opponent's illusion with normal methods, so now he could only cheat.

Fang Chen's divine soul left his body. In an instant, all the illusory scenes around him disappeared without a trace.

Even that stone lion that was formed from earth energy was not actually the size of a small mountain. It was only about ten meters tall. The fluctuation of spiritual energy wasn't entirely smooth either, which meant that the opponent was somewhat struggling to control her power. That suggested that Sui Nianhua's mastery over the five elements was... mediocre.

The only problem now was that his soul was out of his body, and Fang Chen could see through the opponent's illusion, but his physical body couldn't move. And returning his divine soul to his body would leave him trapped in the illusion. This was quite the quagmire.

But this isn't entirely unsolvable. It's almost impossible for her to harm me.

Fang Chen looked at the stone lion expressionlessly for a moment before returning his divine soul to his body.

Boom!

A huge footprint landed on Fang Chen.

However, the stone lion shattered into tiny fragments while Fang Chen remained unharmed.

Now that Fang Chen's sword body had reached the third rank, his physical body's strength had reached a level that was unimaginable to ordinary people. There was simply no way for a Qi Refining Realm cultivator to be able to harm him.

"Foundation Building Realm cultivators might be able to forcibly break through this illusion. As for Golden Core Realm cultivators... it shouldn't take them long. What they can do, my third rank Sword Body can do just as well," Fang Chen mused as he sat down with his hands resting on his knees, silently meditating.
