Chapter 20: is really his work?

Boundless pressure transformed into a giant python, tightly coiling around Lu Ze.

If not for the Ten Thousand Transformations Mysterious Demonic Immortal Body protecting him, even if Lu Ze’s will was as strong as steel, he would probably be forced to comply.

“Even if you ask ten thousand times, the answer is the same—I made this Illusion Realm!”

The young man’s tone was incredibly firm.

“How dare you speak so wildly!?”

Ding Mingcang was furious and was about to apply more pressure.

Just then, a clear, extremely cold female voice drifted over.

“What he said might not be untrue.”

All the Disciples present looked at Li Moran in surprise.

Zhong Yi’s eyes widened even more.

His Junior Sister, due to her Physique for cultivation, was quite indifferent to emotions and desires.

When had she ever spoken up for someone else?

This was truly unprecedented!

“Why do you say that?”

Ding Mingcang reined in some of his Qi and narrowed his eyes, looking at Li Moran.

Li Moran nodded slightly and said calmly:

“Last night, this Disciple tried to analyze the spell used to construct the Illusion Realm and found that while its conception was ingenious, the spells used were not profound; even a Qi Refinement Stage Cultivator could complete it... It’s just that the method of application was indeed brilliant.”

Upon hearing this, the Disciples below started whispering again.

“Is that really true? Do any Disciples from the Refining Hall know?”

“I’m from the Refining Hall... I was too busy playing, who would analyze that thing!”

“What Senior Sister Li said is true; profound spells have long been replaced by Magical Artifacts created by powerful beings; one only needs to infuse them with spiritual Qi to use them.”

“I heard that Junior Brother Lu was accepted as a Named Disciple precisely because he had quite a clever mind in Artifact Refining.”

“Could it be... it really was Junior Brother Lu?”

“I believe it, I believe whatever Senior Sister Li says.”

“No matter how you think about it, it’s impossible! A Qi Refinement Stage Cultivator, how could he possibly...”

“I also feel that even if Senior Sister Li said it, I wouldn’t believe it.”

“What Senior Sister Li said is only theoretical.”

...

Zhong Yi frowned, as if deep in thought about something.

He had also studied what Li Moran said, so he naturally knew it was true.

But...

No matter what, he couldn’t connect the esteemed expert he admired so much with the young man in the arena.

The Realm difference was simply too great!

“Him? Hmph, absolutely impossible!”

Ding Mingcang merely glanced at Lu Ze out of the corner of his eye and immediately dismissed the possibility.

“Why impossible? If I can prove that this Illusion Realm was made by me, will Elder Ding then let me go?”

Lu Ze raised his head and said proudly.

Ding Mingcang sneered: “Just you? How will you prove it?”

“Regarding the questions about ‘Demon Sect Escape’, I will tell you everything I know.”

“Good! Then I ask you, the size of the Illusion Trial space is related to the creator’s Divine Sense.”

Ding Mingcang didn’t waste time and cut straight to the chase.

“I ask you, as a Qi Refinement Stage Cultivator, how could you create a space that is almost endless!? This would require at least a Soul Transformation Stage cultivation to be possible!”

Hearing this, Lu Ze was not flustered at all and quickly replied:

“It’s very simple.”

“The true spatial size of ‘Demon Sect Escape’ is only a hundred meters in radius.”

“What I did was merely prepare several identical yet different spaces, and then set up randomly combined scenarios within them.”

The size of the game space was limited by the Cultivator’s cultivation.

However, when making “Demon Sect Escape,” Lu Ze adopted a clever method.

That was to create three identical spaces.

Then, through spells, these three identical spaces were pieced together and continuously looped.

It then appeared to be an infinitely vast world.

As soon as his explanation came out, Zhong Yi’s expression in the sky changed drastically, and he looked at Lu Ze with immense surprise.

Li Moran, beside him, also showed a hint of astonishment between her brows.

Ding Mingcang was not proficient in Illusion Realm spells and didn’t understand.

But seeing Li Moran and Zhong Yi’s reactions, his heart sank sharply.

It seemed this kid had really spoken correctly.

“Elder Ding, you didn’t understand, did you? Do I need to explain it more clearly?”

Lu Ze smiled faintly and began to show off.

Ding Mingcang knew he had suffered a silent loss, so he ignored Lu Ze’s words and continued to ask:

“Then I ask you again, how did you manage to produce even the music in just three days? Could it be that you are also proficient in musical instruments?”

“This Disciple once purchased an imagery device from the market, and all the music was created by this Disciple through imagination. If Elder Ding needs it, I can go find the purchase receipt.”

“Then what about the cultivation restriction?”

“...The spell for restricting cultivation was developed by our predecessors; this Disciple only needs to introduce it with a Magical Artifact.”

“Then...”

...

Ding Mingcang asked questions continuously, and Lu Ze answered fluently.

In the end, Ding Mingcang truly couldn’t ask any more questions and stood awkwardly in place with his mouth open.

The Disciples below were all utterly astonished.

“This... Could ‘Demon Sect Escape’ really be Junior Brother Lu’s work?”

“No wonder Elder Nangong was willing to exceptionally accept him as a Named Disciple!”

“To achieve so much at the Qi Refinement Stage, in due time... I dare not imagine!”

“There’s nothing to not dare imagine; Junior Brother Lu’s cultivation Aptitude is not good; I heard he has been cultivating for three years and is still in the Qi Refinement Stage.”

“This is called having a specialty!”

...

“Does Elder Ding have any other questions?”

Lu Ze remained composed, looking at Ding Mingcang.

“No... This Illusion Realm definitely wasn’t made by you! Someone else must have guided you!! Quickly reveal that person, otherwise...”

Ding Mingcang had not finished speaking.

Suddenly, an old man’s voice came from the sky:

“Elder Ding, calm down.”

The voice carried a gentle yet solemn Dao power, and the pressure from Ding Mingcang on Lu Ze’s back immediately lessened considerably.

“Grand Elder!”

Ding Mingcang’s expression changed abruptly, and he immediately stood up from his chair.

Chao Wendao’s figure appeared, looking at everyone with a stern expression.

The Three True Disciples in the sky and the numerous Inner and Outer Sect Disciples on the ground all bowed in salute.

“I have already heard the course of events just now.”

Chao Wendao waved his hand, not putting on any airs.

He looked at Lu Ze and suddenly smiled: “When did my Lingxiao Sect produce such a Disciple with such Comprehension Ability? Elder Nangong didn’t even inform me.”

Just now, he had secretly listened to Lu Ze’s debate.

The various theories and techniques for designing Illusion Realms gave him a sense of sudden enlightenment.

Especially the method of using a single space to continuously design infinite spaces; it was truly astonishing.

“Grand Elder, you flatter me; it’s all because Master taught me well.”

Lu Ze returned a faint smile.

He guessed in his heart that this Chao Wendao in front of him was probably the powerful being who had been providing him with 10 Demonic Path points.

“Grand Elder, this matter cannot be concluded yet!”

Ding Mingcang remained unconvinced.

“If someone else had taught him the theories, then wouldn’t his fluent answers just now be perfectly normal?”

“Then what is your meaning?”

Chao Wendao frowned.

He did not agree with Ding Mingcang’s approach in his heart.

In any case, it was too harsh for an ordinary Disciple.

“I believe that since Lu Ze has this ability, he should be allowed to create another one in front of everyone ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) to truly convince me!”
