33: Chapter 32 The Celestial Palace (Part 1)

Li Fan stood on the wall of the courtyard with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance.

"The range of the illusion is getting smaller and smaller. Is it about to end?"

He turned around and looked at the two people playing in the courtyard; there was no trace of them being Dao Entrance Realm Cultivators anymore.

"Husband~, come down and play!"

"It is merely a reflection of flowers in a mirror and the moon in the water."

Li Fan shook his head slightly, smiled with relief, and then jumped down.

Day after day.

When the hard training points given by the strongest slacking afk system reached 208, Nangong Miao finally fell completely into this Human Desire Illusion.

The outcome was already decided. If not for Li Fan, who had entered with them, keeping his mind clear, all three would have turned into dry bones within this illusion.

"Click."

The sound of a door opening echoed through the illusion. In an instant, the three of them were standing in front of the Human Gate again, with Li Fan even still maintaining the posture of being restrained by Zhang Zixuan.

At this moment, Zhang Zixuan and Nangong Miao were stunned, their expressions like puppets; they were receiving the memories of their experiences in the illusion.

As for Li Fan, because he had remained clear-headed the entire time, he could move freely, and his body had also fully recovered during this period.

His gaze lingered on the two women's faces for a while, then he leaped into the air and disappeared into the layers of white jade buildings.

Not long after, the two women fully digested the memories of being happily intertwined with Li Fan in the illusion.

On the bed, in the courtyard, in the corner, by the table, in the spirit spring, and even scenes of them living together.

Outside the Human Gate, the two women looked at each other, and blushes appeared on both their faces.

Zhang Zixuan pointed at Nangong Miao with shame and anger.

"Stupid! And you call yourself a princess of the Zhonghuang Imperial Clan!"

Nangong Miao crossed her arms, showing the composure of an imperial princess at this moment.

"The famous witch of Ziji Heaven didn't also fall for the tricks of a Foundation Establishment brat, did she?"

"That was the Human Desire Secret Realm!"

"Oh... I think Fairy Zhang was quite cooperative."

Zhang Zixuan's suppressed emotions reached a breaking point. She punched the white jade building, causing spiderweb-like cracks to spread.

"Aren't you the same? I think you were even more lustful for his body than I was."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Miao turned to look in the direction Li Fan had left.

"It was just an illusion. I haven't cultivated any Ten Thousand Transformations Heaven-Seizing Technique."

Zhang Zixuan flicked her sleeves in agreement.

"It's just an Innate Physique; I don't care at all."

Then she turned and left, fuming with anger.

Nangong Miao, however, kept staring straight at the direction Li Fan had left.

"Innate Qi, is it? There is actually a very simple way to obtain it..."

Thinking of this method, even with Nangong Miao's composure, her heart was somewhat restless.

But recalling the romantic experiences in the illusion, she calmed down slightly and whispered softly.

"What would be the harm in doing it again?"

In the corridor of the building, Li Fan saw that he had slipped far enough away, so he looked inward at himself. He felt that after this trip, he had gained some strange things.

But with his current knowledge, he couldn't tell what they were, so he had to open the System to see what was going on.

[Li Fan, Qi Refining 13th Layer, Innate Yang-Lengthening Sword Body, hard training points: 208]

The information given by the System was very simple, but Li Fan had his own methods. He clicked on hard training points, and then options appeared one by one.

[Qi Refining Break-Limit, Breakthrough to Qi Refining 14th Layer, requires 3000 hard training points]

[Repair Sword Body, mend Innate Yang-Lengthening Sword Body, requires 500 hard training points]

[Spiritual Root, 'Initial Manifestation' Spirit Reflection Breakthrough to 'Forming Momentum', requires 500 hard training points]

[Physique, 'Initial Manifestation' phenomenon Breakthrough to 'Forming Momentum', requires repairing the Sword Body first]

[Innate Yang-Lengthening Sword Body, Essence of Restoration effect enhancement, requires 100 hard training points]

[Heavenly Dao Alliance effect enhancement, requires 100 hard training points]

[Water Summoning Technique is at Perfection, can Break-Limit, requires 100 hard training points]

[Qi Sea Technique is at Entry level, upgrade to Mastery, requires 200 hard training points]

[Human Illusion can be upgraded, requires 1000 hard training points]

[Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, requires consuming 0/1/2 hard training points depending on the level of Foundation Establishment]

"Wait, wait... why are there so many?"

There were too many options that could be upgraded with hard training points. Li Fan was dazzled, and finally, he looked at his pitiful 208 hard training points.

"The road ahead is long and arduous..."

He found a white jade step, sat down, and thought about how to spend these 208 hard training points.

"I won't consider the ones that I don't have enough hard training points for yet."

"Can this Essence of Restoration and the Heavenly Dao Alliance actually be upgraded?"

Li Fan was a bit surprised. He hadn't expected that the connection established with these two women in the illusion would be retained even after leaving it.

"How about... I give it a try?"

[Consumed 200 hard training points]

"There's nothing special."

After the upgrade, there was no particularly obvious effect.

It was just that the faint connection with the two women had strengthened, and he could roughly sense their locations through this connection.

After Li Fan felt the connection after the prompt, he stood up from the white jade step in an instant and looked not far away.

"Why are these two people right around me?"

So, while sensing their positions, Li Fan flew through the buildings, intending to get away from the two women first.

But what he didn't expect was that Zhang Zixuan and Nangong Miao were following him from each side, keeping their distance, not knowing what they wanted to do.

"Is this love born from long-term association?"

...

"Bah!"

In the distance, the two people hiding behind the buildings both showed disdain at the same time.

Although they had been suppressed to the Foundation Establishment stage, their Dao Entrance Realm Divine Sense was still there, so they could clearly hear Li Fan's muttering to himself.

This was also the reason why, even though Li Fan could sense their locations, he couldn't shake them off.

However, not long after, the translucent white jade buildings began to restore their original colors and became ancient-looking.

"Are all three gates open?"

Nangong Miao touched the building pillars that were becoming increasingly real, stopped following Li Fan, stayed where she was, and waited quietly for something.

Sure enough, when the surrounding buildings returned to their real appearance, wooden beams and blue tiles kept growing out of these structures.

Not long after, a brand-new pavilion was built, enveloping Nangong Miao inside.

This room was well-furnished, but they were all ordinary items.

Nangong Miao, who was inside, was not panicked. She took two steps forward, pushed open the pavilion door, and what caught her eyes was an infinite galaxy.

In the center of the galaxy, a mottled palace was floating quietly.

This palace was only the size of a palm, but with Nangong Miao's eyesight, she could still see the characters carved on the palace plaque.

"Wandering Immortal Palace..."
