Chapter 344: Chapter 343 New Usage of Illusion Technique_1
With the help of Invincible Elixir, Lu Yang managed to escape from the puppet’s clutches without a hitch.
The puppet ceased its pursuit the moment Lu Yang stepped out of Sky Gate Mountain, and stood at a distance watching as Lu Yang disappeared into the distance.
“Good thing the puppet can’t leave the mountain,” Lu Yang let out a breath of relief. He had noticed earlier that the puppet had a limited range of movement and couldn’t leave Sky Gate Mountain.
“Senior Brother Lu, why did you run so fast? Is there any danger on Sky Gate Mountain?” Tao Yaoye’s voice echoed from behind Lu Yang.
How could there be any danger when the Eldest Senior Sister was on Sky Gate Mountain?
“No… nothing. It’s just that I haven’t been running for a while. Just stretching my legs,” Lu Yang couldn’t let her know he had been chased by a puppet. It would be too embarrassing to say it out loud.
“Are you free now? I’ve had some new ideas about illusions and I wanted to discuss them with you.”
Lu Yang thought for a moment. Sure, he had some free time. “Sure, let’s go to Dust Free Peak?”
While on their way to Dust Free Peak, Lu Yang casually asked, “Do you have any new ideas on illusions?”
“Yes, it’s an idea inspired by the Unification that you, Junior Brother Meng, and Junior Brother Man performed a while ago. If you willingly accepted my illusion, it got me thinking. Can illusions be used in places other than battles?”
“That’s an interesting perspective. Go on?”
“The hardest part of casting illusions is to make the opponent succumb to the illusion, why not try it differently? Are there situations where the opponent voluntarily succumbs to the illusion?”
Lu Yang contemplated. He had never thought about this before, but he felt that he had grasped the meaning Junior Sister Tao wanted to express.
He followed Tao Yaoye’s line of thought and said, “For people to willingly fall under an illusion, it has to be safe and comfortable.”
“Ensuring safety so that it is not used in battle is the most basic guarantee. Making it comfortable is the precondition for the voluntary acceptance of the illusion.”
“One characteristic of illusions is that they immerse people in the experience. Suppose they enjoy a treatment that they can’t experience in reality, they would willingly succumb.”
“So are you suggesting, Junior Sister Tao, to let them see scenes they can’t normally see like…?” Lu Yang incredulously looked at Tao Yaoye. He hadn’t expected that Tao Yaoye, who looked so young and naive, would come up with something only a man would think of.
Tao Yaoye nodded delightfully, feeling proud that the most quick-witted Senior Brother Lu understood her so quickly.
“Yes, let them see the Cultivators in battle!”
Lu Yang: “…”
I’m sorry. That was my misinterpretation. I need to reflect.
Tao Yaoye said excitedly: “I’m not talking about lower-grade Cultivators in battle; their battles are quite common. But it’s rare to see Golden Core Stage Cultivators fighting, especially as Golden Core Stage Cultivators can fly through the air, their spiritual essence is much more abundant than those at the Foundation Establishment Stage, they can perform countless more magic skills, it’s very enjoyable to watch!”
“Ordinary people and low-level cultivators never get the chance to see fights among Golden Core Stage or higher cultivators. But if we use illusions to let them witness these battles, I’m sure they would be more than happy!”
“Of course, I’m not doing this out of charity. It’s a paid service.”
She’s planning to earn money from this.
“What I’m considering now is whether to introduce some storylines into these battles. If the battles just start out of the blue, won’t it seem too abrupt? Should I incorporate some plot?”
The two had reached the entrance of Tao Yaoye’s Abode on the Dust Free Peak.
Tao Yaoye looked extremely excited, “I’ll give you a demonstration. Don’t resist.”
“Okay.”
Tao Yaoye unfolded her red paper umbrella, held it in front of her body, and gently shook it twice in front of Lu Yang. Lu Yang felt dizzy for a moment, and when he regained his consciousness, he found himself in the midst of endless mountains.
He sensed something and looked up to see two human figures standing in the air, both clad in similar clothing, seemingly brothers.
One of them was shedding tears, his voice trembling slightly, “Seniior Brother, tell me, why did you kill our master? Why did you kill your favorite Junior Sister, and other brothers and sisters? Why!”
The other man let out a wild laugh, his body radiating a chilling dark aura, “Hahaha, why? You’ll have to ask the Master! Ask yourself!”
“Me?” The younger brother was taken aback, not understanding what his senior brother meant.
“I was the first one to join the Sect, worked tirelessly day in and day out, just so one day I could take over the mantle from the Master. Even when younger brothers and sisters joined later, I didn’t care, none of them were as talented as me!”
“But it all changed when you came. The Master wanted to make you the head of the Sect!”
“When I confronted him about it, the Master said I was impatient and short-sighted, and you were the most suitable person to inherit his mantle!”
“I was livid. How could all my efforts over the years be seen as impatience in his eyes! I was so angry that I killed him. The younger sister saw it all and she screamed in terror, attracting other people’s attention. To silence them, I had to kill them too!”
“Junior Brother, now that you know everything, you must die too! Your Cultivation Level is way below mine, it is best for you to surrender willingly!”
A golden fog rose from the junior brother, creating an aura that faintly contested the senior brother’s.
The senior brother paled with shock, “How is this possible? You’re only supposed to be at the early Golden Core Stage. How can you be at the same late stage as I am?”
The junior brother was brimming with coldness. He remembered the scene of dead bodies lying all over when he rushed to the Sect, remembered the Master on his last breath transferring all his skills to him, remembered the younger sister slowly dying in his arms.
The mastermind behind all of these atrocities must die!
The senior brother suddenly realized something, his face twisted with madness, “I understand now! That old man gave all of his skills to you! I knew he was biased towards you!”
Having received the Sect’s lineage, the junior brother wielded two magic artifacts. He twitched the scissors in his hands, which turned into two golden Flood Dragons, lunging at the senior brother, snapping their jaws.
A large ghost claw emerged from the senior brother’s back, suppressing the two golden Flood Dragons.
The junior brother opened a jade bottle, from which a yellow sandstorm gushed out like a tidal wave, rushing towards the senior brother. The senior brother shouted, took out the wide knife from his waist, waved a knife aura and divided the sandstorm into two.
A fierce battle ensued between the two, magic artifacts, magic skills, and calculations were displayed one after another. It was so dazzling that the viewers could not resist the urge to join in.
All of a sudden, the scene turned into a landscape painting, then submerged in water, the ink was diluted, and everything disappeared. When Lu Yang came back to his senses, Tao Yaoye was standing in front of him with her red paper umbrella, smiling at him.
“Senior Brother Lu, how was it? How did it feel? I tried adding some plot, is it better than just plain fighting?’
Lu Yang was silent for a while, his mind filled with criticism, not knowing where to start.
Isn’t this just like a movie?
A movie with fully immersive technology, no less!
There’s no need to mention the battle scenes, it was just like the real thing. The plot was a bit thin, but that didn’t matter. This was just the beginning, the plot could always be enriched later.
If this was released in his past life, it would cause a sensation. No special effects could compete with this.
“Great idea.”
Lu Yang sighed, believing that once this idea was fleshed out and introduced to the general public, it would definitely make a fortune!
