16: It’s so hard to quit~

Two days passed in a flash.

During these two days, Chen Qingfeng worked tirelessly, finally managing to produce nearly five thousand Illusion Talismans.

Five thousand Illusion Talismans.

Five thousand short films.

There were Xianxia.

There were Xuanhuan.

There was romance.

There was comedy.

But even more were Japanese short films.

It was a comprehensive coverage.

Not only did it include various categories, but Chen Qingfeng also marked the film title and lead actor's name on the Talisman of each Illusion Talisman.

With the simultaneous release of these Illusion Talismans, the entire Tianyi Sect instantly went completely crazy.

In less than half a day.

All five thousand Illusion Talismans were sold out.

They were cultivators.

Their daily lives were simple and austere, with almost no entertainment or leisure. Regardless of their cultivation level, when had they ever tasted such fine fare?

For a time.

The entire Tianyi Sect immediately turned into a chaotic mess.

Crowds were everywhere, and all their conversations revolved around the Illusion Talismans.

"How's the Illusion Talisman you bought? What kind of scenario is depicted? Who's the protagonist?"

"What about yours? Mine is called 'On the Bus * * * * * *'. Although I don't know what a bus is, the protagonist seems to be named Bodu something."

"My protagonist is named Ozawa, and the scenario seems to be the subway. Do you know what a subway is?"

"Subway? Never heard of it…"

"My Illusion Talisman has one viewing of Spiritual Qi left. Do you have any left? How about we swap and watch each other's?"

"That's a great idea, Junior Brother also had the same intention. Then thank you, Senior Brother, for your generous sharing!"

Such discussions filled every corner of the Tianyi Sect.

As the popularity continued to soar, the mere five thousand short films were instantly consumed.

Li Fengyun truly suffered a great deal.

He was the sole agent for these short films.

Disciples who hadn't bought any short films and those who had already watched their Illusion Talismans three times, after running out of their spiritual sustenance, all gathered at Jiu Yi Peak, wailing and begging him to buy two more.

"Junior Brother Li—"

"Please, just one last one… just one last one, I promise to quit after watching it—"

"Junior Brother Li—"

"You know, Senior Brother doesn't usually dabble in this stuff, but it's all my Senior Brother's fault. He said he couldn't quit no matter what, and at first, I didn't believe him. I just wanted to know, what could be so hard to quit?"

"So, to save him from suffering, I took the risk myself and watched it just once…"

"Just once, that's all, and I was hooked. This stuff is really hard to quit. If I don't watch it for a day, my whole body feels like ants are crawling on it, and I become depressed and can't muster any energy."

"Please, be kind and give me another one. As long as you can give me one more, Senior Brother will be your ox or horse."

Be his ox or horse?

Oh~

"I see Senior Brother also has some charm. Junior Brother doesn't have many in stock, but I still have a few Illusion Talismans. I wonder if Senior Brother's bottom is tight?"

"Bottom? What do you mean?"

"There are too many people here, Senior Brother, why don't you come to my room for a detailed discussion? Coincidentally, Junior Brother picked up a civet cat, and it can even do somersaults…"

"Not a Spirit Pet? Just an ordinary civet cat?"

"Just an ordinary civet cat."

"That amazing, then it's worth going to see."

…

At the same time.

Tianyi Sect.

Main Peak Main Hall.

Elders from various halls and peaks gathered.

Sect Master He Qianqiu sat in the main seat and was the first to speak in a deep voice:

"Elders, I have called you all here today out of necessity, because a strange incident has occurred in the Sect, and I wish to consult your opinions."

"Presumably, everyone has heard about the recently popular 'scenario depiction' Illusion Talismans, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken.

The entire hall erupted in discussion.

The matter of the Illusion Talismans had spread throughout all the peaks of the Sect.

Even they, as the Peak Masters of various peaks and the overseers of various halls, had more or less heard their Disciples discussing it.

But those who had actually seen an Illusion Talisman were few and far between.

"We have heard about it, but we haven't seen an actual Illusion Talisman, and we don't know what it depicts that could cause such a huge stir throughout the entire Sect."

An Elder immediately responded.

They were also deeply curious about the content of the Illusion Talismans.

But because they were so popular, and each Illusion Talisman only had three viewings, even these Elders couldn't get their hands on one.

"Coincidentally, I have only heard about it and never seen it, but I entrusted my direct Disciple to finally get an Illusion Talisman in the Sect. Since all the overseeing Elders are gathered here, we can first observe it and then discuss the matter."

"How about it?"

Sect Master He Qianqiu scanned the people in the hall and asked solemnly.

He said 'got'.

But it was a real 'got'!

A 'got' on a physical level!

"I have no objection, I will follow all of the Sect Master's arrangements!"

"I also have no objection. This is a good opportunity to observe the Illusion Talisman circulating in the Sect and see what its magic is!"

"We all have no objection, we will all respectfully obey the Sect Master's instructions!"

Immediately.

Dozens of Elders present simultaneously stood up and bowed, facing He Qianqiu in the main seat and shouted.

"Since there are no objections, let's watch it together!"

He Qianqiu saw this.

He immediately waved his hand, and an Illusion Talisman flew into the air of the Main Hall.

As a trace of True Essence was injected, the spiritual energy in the Talisman was activated, and a translucent projection instantly appeared above the Main Hall.

"Journey to the West?"

"Heavenly Court?"

"Jade Emperor?"

"Sun Wukong?"

"So these are the Immortals and Gods of the Upper Realm?"

As the Illusion Talisman slowly played, the Elders present were truly speechless.

This was no longer a dimensionality reduction strike.

This was practically shattering their worldview and reshaping their spiritual world.

It turned out that the Jade Emperor governed the entire Heavenly Court.

Achieving Immortal Ascension could only make one a member of the hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers…

Sun Wukong, with all his Divine Abilities, could actually be suppressed for five hundred years…

Astonishment!

Shock.

Silence.

Unbelievable.

After a short two hours, the first few episodes of Journey to the West finished playing, and the entire Main Hall was so quiet that not a sound could be heard.

"Is this the Heavenly Palace?"

"Amazing!"

"Who exactly is the person who can create such an Illusion Talisman?"

"Could he really be an Immortal or God, hidden within our Tianyi Sect?"

"But looking at the crafting method of these Illusion Talismans, they are ordinary, just simple low-level Talismans that are as simple as can be. They don't even require Foundation Establishment; even Qi Refining Disciples can make them. If he were truly an Immortal or God, why would he use such low-level methods?"

"So, these Illusion Talismans are fabricated and imagined by the creator?"

"Then his imagination is simply too rich, to be able to imagine the palace of Immortals and Gods."

"I can now understand the madness of the Sect's Disciples. Such an Illusion Talisman truly opened our eyes, it's simply captivating, a great talent!"

"This person is simply a great talent!!!"

In the silent Main Hall, there was a long period of quiet.

It wasn't until much later.

That the Elders present finally managed to calm their emotions and let out endless exclamations of praise.

They were all cultivators.

What they yearned for was Immortal Ascension.

The content of Journey to the West, for them, delivered a comprehensive dimensionality reduction strike, whether from the perspective of the plane, profession, or interest.

"What about the later content?"

"Sect Master, this Illusion Talisman doesn't seem to be complete, there should be a latter half, right?"

"You wouldn't be trying to secretly enjoy it all by yourself, would you?"

"Bring it out and let us all see!"

The Elders, still wanting more, couldn't help but speak up one after another.

They had just seen Sun Wukong being suppressed under the Five Elements Mountain for causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace, and then it ended…

What kind of situation was this?

This was practically taking their old lives.

"Cough, cough—"

"I only have this one Illusion Talisman. I don't have the later content either, so it's useless to ask me!"

"Besides, I called you here not to watch Illusion Talismans!"

He Qianqiu coughed softly and said with a frown.

Having it end here was like a fishbone stuck in his throat.

But the current problem was.

No one knew where this Illusion Talisman came from or who created it.

To follow up on the later content, they first had to find out who made the Illusion Talisman!
