Chapter 3004


    Cameron''s words dispelled the tion of their recent escape. They were out of the altar, yet they


    had no inkling of their location or the means to escape.


    "It''s normal not to be able tomunicate here. We''ve been in a massive illusionary realm since we


    set foot in that cave. Here, reality and illusion blend together, and it''s hard for us to tell them apart,"


    Jared exined.


    "An illusionary realm? So, does being in this illusionary realm mean we won''t be able to escape that


    old man''s clutches?" someone asked, their voice tinged with nervousness.


    "Exactly. If it''s an illusionary realm, we might still be in the same spot and haven''t actually escaped,"


    Jared concurred. His analysis sent many into a state of panic.


    After all, everything they had experienced felt real, from battling demon beasts to collecting mystical


    herbs. Therefore, being abruptly informed that it was all an illusionary realm was a difficult truth to


    ept.


    "This illusionary realm wasn''t created by that old geezer. He isn''t powerful enough for something of


    this magnitude. I suspect this ce is an ancient underground cave. In the past, two of the


    ancestors of the Archaic Body cultivators, a pair of brothers, engaged in a monumental battle here.


    Each of them established their colossal illusion arrays, and in the end, they both perished, causing


    their arrays to gradually merge, blurring the boundaries between reality and illusion," Jared


    exined.


    Jared had developed this theory because, during his encounter with the elder of the Archaic Body


    Cultivation n in the thatched cottage, the elder''s brother appeared entirely oblivious.


    However, when Jared left the cottage, he immediately met the elder in the pce. It felt as though


    they were inpletely different timelines in the same location.


    From this, Jared had deduced that all of this was the result of illusion arrays. These were two


    distinct illusion arrays set up by different individuals, enabling them to upy the same space


    without perceiving each other''s presence.


    Jared''s theory left many cultivators bewildered, struggling toprehend it. At present, their sole


    priority was escaping. Whether it was an illusion array or an actual cave, the paramount goal was to


    emerge alive; everything else was secondary. None of them cared about the treasure anymore.


    "Jared, get to the point. How do we get out?


    Skip the technical details; we can''t make sense of them anyway!" a cultivator implored.


    "Exactly, Mr. Chance, just give us the instructions, and we''ll follow your lead," Cloud added. Jared


    scanned the group and stated, “Escaping from here is simply not possible."


    "Huh?"


    Jared''s words left everyone in shock. Even Cameron frowned, looking utterly confused. "Why? Are


    we really going to die here?"


    "Yeah, why can''t we get out? There are so many of us. Can''t we find an exit?"


    "Mr. Chance, please exin. Why can''t we leave?" Everyone bombarded Jared with questions, their


    expressions filled with astonishment.


    "To break free, we''d have to find a way to finish off that old geezer. Even though he''s just a wisp of a


    soul remnant, he''s been trapped here for years. I''m willing to bet he''s set up a ton of traps. That ice


    soul fragment was just an illusion. It wasn''t a real fragment but just the energy inside it.


    Anyway, that was just a type of illusion spell that trapped your minds and made you feel like you


    couldn''t stop absorbing energy. Therefore, we have to eliminate that old man.. Once he''s gone, I


    believe this ce will change drastically, and then we can get out," Jared exined.


    "But even as a soul remnant, that old geezer is incredibly powerful. Besides, he''s got those Five


    yers with him as hisckeys. How in the world are we supposed to take them on?" Cameron


    asked.


    "We can''t take them on directly, but that doesn''t mean there''s no one else who can. Have you all


    forgotten that I''ve seen the Archaic Body Cultivation-elder before? We can ask him for help. His


    soul remnant still exists, and with his assistance, we won''t have to fear a thing."


    Jared''s hope now rested on the Archaic Body Cultivation elder.Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
