Song Yan closed his eyes.

Beside his ear, Pei Xuehan’s voice continued to echo.

"Is the truth or falsehood really that important?"

"Have these hundred years truly meant nothing?!"

"Why must you leave?"

"Stay for me, will you?"

"Will you..."

Song Yan let out a light sigh.

A familiar feeling welled up.

He knew the "Illusion Realm time" had arrived.

Once trapped, he would sink into it, but if he ignored it, he could break free.

The next moment, he opened his eyes, and before him, the floodwaters still surged, the black rooftops neared.

The Sea of Suffering’s jianmei stared at him straightly, with an expression that seemed to say "obstinate and beyond enlightenment."

This was the only time the Sea of Suffering’s jianmei could be temporarily shattered.

Song Yan did not miss this opportunity, slapping the jianmei into dust, then giving the female cultivator beside him, who’s still immersed in the Illusion Realm, a slap.

"Time to wake up."

Pei Xuehan opened her eyes, and upon seeing Song Yan, a strong sense of joy suddenly welled up within her, instinctively wanting to approach but stopped quickly, merely looking at him with a complex expression, then she subconsciously asked: "Senior, is the sword wound on your face...fake..."

Song Yan was silent for a moment, in the Illusion Realm he had spent a hundred years with this woman, and treating her as a complete stranger was indeed difficult.

So he said: "Everything in the Illusion Realm is fake, the Sea of Suffering’s jianmei only knows how to deceive people."

"Did...did the senior also fall into the Illusion Realm?" Pei Xuehan, not knowing what she dreamt, suddenly seemed less afraid of Song Yan.

Song Yan did not answer.

Pei Xuehan suddenly bit her lip, as if summoning courage, asked: "Senior...did you go beyond the frontier?"

Song Yan suddenly looked at where the Sea of Suffering’s jianmei disappeared.

He suddenly understood.

That ghostly thing not only created illusions but also exploited the cracks in people’s hearts!

Could it be that it forced Pei Xuehan and himself to experience the same illusion?

It "copied" his behaviors to Pei Xuehan, then "copied" hers to him, thus making the two, even when awake, question the reality, making further enlightenment easier.

Real or fake, fake or real, if fake can birth truth, then what truly is truth? Is it genuinely that important?

Better to transcend into the cycle of rebirth and detachment!

Song Yan instantly realized this terrifying possibility.

However, his response was decisive.

"The frontier? What’s so great about such a place? I just dreamt I left."

She wiped her tears, said: "Then senior, rest assured, I’ll guard you."

With that, she stood aside, seriously monitoring the floating corpses nearby.

If any of the floating corpses showed signs of approaching, she would immediately use the "Great Tsunami Technique" to push them away.

Suddenly...

A heavy sound echoed by her ear.

Looking down, she saw it was a bundle of Flying Swords.

The quality of each sword in that bundle was surprisingly decent.

The aloof voice of the Purple Mansion’s old monster came floating over from not far.

"Take these, next time don’t carry just one Flying Sword.

My Blood Slave can’t be left without a weapon."

Pei Xuehan nodded heavily, then took the Flying Swords, starting to refine them one by one.

As she refined them, a slight smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.

...

...

The cold moon loomed high, luckily, with no more rain nor fog.

However, at the end of this Secret Realm, by the entrance of the next Secret Realm, occasional strange vibrations would happen, and the two bodies stuck there kept floating with the waves, their eyes being dragged by nerves, floating back and forth aimlessly.
