The cat demon defies the heavens and is the emperor’s only beloved disciple!

Deep in the spiritual vein, clouds and mist are swirling, and strange lights are shining, as if the most mysterious picture in the world is slowly unfolding here.

Xu Wan, Tan Yuan, Yan Wu and a group of monks, holding magic weapons, stepped on the interweaving of light and shadow, and moved step by step towards the unknown depths.

Their faces were filled with determination and curiosity, but they couldn't help feeling uneasy. After all, there were too many unknown secrets and dangers hidden beneath this spiritual vein.

Suddenly, a strange fragrance filled the air and everyone stopped involuntarily.

Before my eyes, a gorgeous garden quietly blooms, with flowers of various colors and shapes, so beautiful that it takes your breath away.

However, this beauty carries an indescribable weirdness.

"Everyone be careful, this garden might have an illusion!" Tan Yuan warned vigilantly, but his voice seemed to be affected by this mysterious power, becoming ethereal and distant.

As soon as he finished speaking, vines silently wrapped around everyone's body like snakes, pulling them into their respective illusions one by one.

……

**Xu Wan's Fantasy**

Xu Wan only felt a flash before her eyes, and when she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a familiar palace.

That was the place she had dreamed of countless times—the residence of Emperor Yun Che.

Yun Che, the master she admired in her heart, was standing in the center of the hall, holding a long sword with a cold gaze.

“You traitor, you have brought chaos to the six realms. Today I will eliminate you!” Yun Che’s voice was like ice, piercing Xu Wan’s heart.

She looked at her master in shock. The figure who once gave her warmth and teachings now seemed like a stranger.

“Master, I didn’t…” Xu Wan tried to explain, but her words seemed so pale and powerless under Yun Che’s cold gaze.

Yun Che said no more. He swung his sword, which transformed into a sharp sword light and rushed straight towards Xu Wan.

Xu Wan's heart trembled, and she instantly realized that this was just an illusion, but she had to overcome it in order to find herself again.

She closed her eyes and concentrated, mobilizing the spiritual power in her body, condensing it into a lightsaber, competing with Yun Che's sword light.

Swords clashed, sparks flew, and every strike shook the very space. Xu Wan silently chanted in her heart, "Master, whether true or false, I will not let you down."

Finally, after a fierce confrontation, Xu Wan found the right moment and stabbed Yun Che's heart with a sword.

At that moment, she seemed to hear the sound of her own heartbeat, resonating with this illusion.

Yun Che's figure began to blur, and eventually turned into specks of light, dissipating into the air.

The illusion was shattered, Xu Wan opened her eyes and found herself still in the secret garden. The vines had loosened on their own and everything around her had returned to calm.

She took a deep breath, her heart filled with unprecedented determination and clarity.

……

**Flame Dance's Illusion**

Suddenly, a strange vine spread out from the ground, quickly wrapped around Yan Wu's body, and dragged her into an unknown illusion.

In the illusion, clouds and mist are swirling, and the scene is ever-changing, making it difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

In the deepest part of the illusion, Xiao Jinxi suddenly appeared. He was no longer the child, but had transformed into a majestic golden Qilin.

Qilin is an ancient mythical beast with the power to turn the clouds and rain and move mountains and seas.

Little Jinxi was running and jumping in the forest, its golden figure shining in the sun, as if it had become the master of the forest.

However, the good times did not last long. A huge black python suddenly jumped out from the woods, opened its bloody mouth and attacked Xiao Jinxi.

The giant python was huge in size, and its scales were shining with a dark light. It was obviously not an ordinary creature.

Faced with the sudden crisis, although Yan Wu was in an illusion, the power of maternal love allowed her to burst out with amazing strength in an instant.

She struggled hard and finally broke free from the vines, rushing towards the giant python with a flaming whip in hand.

The flaming whip drew a gorgeous arc in the air and lashed towards the giant python with raging flames.

However, the giant python had thick skin and flesh, and the attack of the fire whip did not seem to cause much damage to it.

Yan Wu was extremely anxious, but she did not give up. Instead, she swung the fire whip in her hand even more violently.

Just when Yan Wu was about to be exhausted, she suddenly remembered the unique skill that Tan Yuan had taught her - Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin.

This is an extremely powerful sword technique that can condense the sword energy between heaven and earth, forming a spectacular scene of thousands of swords being fired at the same time.

Yan Wu took a deep breath, closed his eyes and concentrated, gathering all the spiritual power in his body between his hands.

With her low shout, countless sword energies gathered from all directions, forming a dazzling sword river.

The sword river roared and rushed towards the giant python with the momentum of destroying the world.

The giant python was horrified when it saw this and wanted to dodge but it was too late.

With the return of ten thousand swords, the giant python's huge body was instantly torn into countless pieces by the sword energy.

The illusion was shattered, and Yan Wu returned to the real world.

Although the illusion was broken, Yan Wu's heart was filled with fear. Tears welled up in his eyes.

……

Deep in the unfathomable spiritual veins, clouds and mist are lingering, as if the most mysterious picture in the world is slowly unfolding.

Everything around him was both familiar and unfamiliar. Xu Wan had just escaped from a long and strange illusion, and his heart was filled with worry for his best friend Yan Wu.

"Yanwu..." Xu Wan called softly, her voice echoing in the empty valley, but no one answered.

She stood up, her eyes determined, and decided to embark on the journey to find Yanwu.

In the spiritual vein, there are exotic flowers and plants, and spiritual beasts roaming around, but Xu Wan has no intention of appreciating them.

Relying on the tacit understanding she and Yan Wu had developed over the years, she shuttled between the dense forests and cliffs, searching for that familiar figure.

The sun rose and the moon set, and time flew by. Xu Wan searched tirelessly, with only one thought in her mind - to find Yan Wu, no matter where she was.

Finally, in a hidden valley, Xu Wan heard faint sobbing sounds.

She followed the sound and saw Yan Wu sitting on a huge bluestone, tears falling like pearls from a broken string.

Her figure looked particularly lonely and helpless in the afterglow of the setting sun.

"Yan Wu!" Xu Wan stepped forward quickly and held Yan Wu's hand tightly. "What's wrong with you? Where's Tan Yuan?"

Yan Wu raised her head, looked at Xu Wan with tears in her eyes, and choked up, "Tan Yuan... In order to protect me, he was swept away by that mysterious power..."

Upon learning of Tan Yuan's experience, Xu Wan felt unprecedented anger and determination.

She held Yanwu's hand tightly and said gently but firmly, "Don't be afraid, we will go find him together. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, we will not give up."

So, Xu Wan and Yan Wu set out on a journey to find Tan Yuan together.

They traveled through every corner of the spiritual vein, challenging one seemingly insurmountable difficulty after another.

By chance, Xu Wan and Yan Wu discovered a hidden secret realm.

The spiritual energy here is rich, as if it is the heart of the entire spiritual vein.

What was even more surprising was that they discovered the faint scent left by Tan Yuan here.

"Tan Yuan! He must still be alive!" Yan Wu was so excited that he almost cried.

Xu Wan was also happy, but she knew that more effort would be needed to find Tan Yuan and rescue him.

……

**Danyuan's Fantasy**

When Tan Yuan opened his eyes again, he found himself in a strange space - a cave surrounded by blazing fire.

The flames were scorching, but they didn't hurt him at all. Instead, they made him feel an inexplicable familiarity and warmth.

In the center of the cave, a heartbreaking scene came into view: his wife, Yanwu, dressed in a fiery red dress, was being mercilessly devoured by flames.

Tan Yuan exclaimed and wanted to rush forward, but found that he could not move.

He watched Yan Wu transform into a dazzling light, and then the light condensed into a huge red Qilin, burning with eternal flames all over its body, majestic and tragic.

"Tan Yuan, wake up!" The red unicorn's voice echoed in the cave, deafening.

The next moment, it rushed out of the cave with Tan Yuan and soared into the sky.

Above the nine heavens, the sea of ​​clouds is rolling and the stars are shining brightly.

Yan Wu transformed into a red Qilin, flying through the clouds at such a speed that it was hard to keep up.

Tan Yuan hugged Qilin's neck tightly, feeling both fear and confusion in his heart.

He knew very well that all this was not real and must be some kind of illusion.

Suddenly, Qilin flipped over violently, and Tan Yuan was caught off guard and fell from a high altitude.

The wind whistled in my ears and fear surged like a tide.

However, at this critical moment of life and death, Tan Yuan's heart was unusually calm, as if there was a force guiding him.

Tan Yuan's falling speed gradually slowed down, and he finally landed steadily in nothingness.

There was no light or sound around, only endless darkness and silence.

He closed his eyes and thought, recalling everything from the time he was drawn into the illusion to this moment.

"Illusions are created by the mind, and to break through them one must realize it on one's own." Tan Yuan muttered to himself. This was the experience he gained from years of practice.

He began to try to use his mind to perceive this void and find the source of the illusion.

As time went by, Tan Yuan's soul gradually merged with this nothingness.

He felt every emotional fluctuation and every fragment of memory in the illusion.

Finally, he found the strongest emotion - the longing and reluctance to part with Yan Wu.

Tan Yuan took a deep breath and turned all his longing and reluctance into a strong will.

He suddenly opened his eyes, and there was a determination in his eyes.

At this moment, he seemed to hear a voice deep in his heart: "Break!"

With this light shout, the illusion shattered like glass and everything returned to calm.

Tan Yuan found himself still standing deep in the spiritual vein, and everything around him was so familiar and real.

He hurriedly looked for Yan Wu, but found that she was not around.

However, Tan Yuan no longer felt the panic and anxiety he had felt before.

He understood that the real Yanwu was waiting for him somewhere, and he had to keep moving forward and become stronger to protect their common future.

As Tan Yuan was walking, his eyes went dark and he fainted on the ground.

……

The scene before them shocked Xu Wan and Yan Wu. The spiritual vein that was once full of vitality had now become desolate.

The exotic flowers and plants disappeared, replaced by dead branches and leaves all over the ground.

"What's going on?" Xu Wan frowned.

Yan Wu frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "I guess the illusion just now has disrupted the balance here."

The two looked around, trying to find any trace of Tan Yuan. Suddenly, a faint breath came, attracting the two to step forward quickly.

In an open place, Tan Yuan lay quietly with his eyes closed and his face pale.

Yan Wu squatted down and called softly: "Yuan..."

Xu Wan stared at Tan Yuan, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes, and whispered, "His aura is very weak, let's quickly transfer spiritual power to him."

Xu Wan and Yan Wu injected spiritual power into Tan Yuan's body to help him recover.

With the infusion of spiritual power, Tan Yuan's face gradually turned rosy.

At this moment, Tan Yuan's eyelashes trembled slightly and he slowly opened his eyes.

He looked at Xu Wan and Yan Wu in front of him, his eyes filled with joy.

"I'm glad you're all okay..." Tan Yuan's voice was still a little weak.

Gradually, Tan Yuan's face regained some color and his breathing became steady.

"He should be fine." Xu Wan breathed a sigh of relief.
