Chapter 135: 'Transformation'

like lightning. In less than ten breaths, he returned to the main hall of the Dragon Palace.At that time, five people stood scattered in the hall.Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me...A strange wind arose in the realm of illusion. This was no ordinary wind.

In those breezes that brushed past him, Jiang Wang sensed a slightly complex, extraneous impurity that didn't belong to the Wind element itself. It was extremely subtle; if not for his utmost vigilance in observing everything at this moment, he probably wouldn't have been able to feel it.

Maybe we shouldn't call them "impurities," because those "attachments" lack form and substance.

He pondered for a long time before he could roughly discern it; it was something on an emotional level. He used his soul to contact the snakes again, and finally confirmed that they were indeed related to the cultivators who had died in this world.

It's not a complete soul or any kind of lingering spirit, but rather something akin to an obsession. In a place like the Netherworld, where there is nowhere to belong and one refuses to sink into oblivion, it clings on with yearning.

He only just put it all together at this point, today being April 4th, the annual day of the sea sacrifice.

The cultivators on the coastal islands are performing a ritual to appease the sea, welcoming the return of spirits with devout ceremony.

To die in the spirit realm is to lose one's soul.

It's not about the destruction of the physical body, leaving only the soul. It's about the death of both the body and the soul falling into ruin.

When the flesh is still present, it is easy to stray. How much more so when only the soul remains, and the Starry Hall's guidance is lost

Some people lost both their body and soul, while others were trapped in the realm of illusions, wandering aimlessly. It is similar to how a single spark of true spirit drifts in the vast primordial sea, but not entirely the same.

These thoughts are more fragile than true spirits and have no possibility of being reshaped. (In fact, in Jiang Wang's understanding, even a single true spirit has no possibility of being reshaped, but Guan Yan broke his understanding.)

But people believe that recalling it to human territory will give those brave souls who originated these thoughts a chance to be reborn.

If one cannot endure until the Sea Festival to be drawn back, then one can only vanish into thin air. Losing everything that is possible. Therefore, in the realm of illusions today, there is such a gentle breeze.

They cannot take anything away, nor can they change the Spirit Realm. Only homesick people will eventually return to their homeland.

Jiang Wang tried to relax his control over his body. Instead of falling straight down, his body rose a distance. After a long time, it moved to the left for a while before finally starting to descend.

Of course, this so-called up, down, left, and right, is only a reference based on his own stance.

This movement trajectory doesn't follow any pattern; it simply conforms to the chaotic and disordered rules inherent in the realm of madness.

He controlled his body to fly forward, every inch of distance was actually not easy. He was adapting to the Maze World as much as possible so that he could fully exert his combat power in the Maze World. Originally, his true strength was inferior to Granny Bi Zhu, and if he was suppressed because of his unsuitability, it would be almost the same as seeking death.

Fortunately, the process was not particularly difficult. His mastery of Dao Yuan had already reached a very refined level, a harvest from his earlier "sparring" with the real person. This allowed him to quickly adapt to the special nature of the Illusory Realm; his Dao Yuan within could react instantly to changes in the outside world, enabling him to move as if on solid ground.

By this time, he already knew what those black dots were that he had seen when he first fell into the realm of confusion - mostly large stones. They were of different shapes and orientations. Because of the same chaotic and upside-down relationship, it was impossible to use these stones to determine direction.

It's a good thing we have the pointer. During this short time exploring the maze world, Jiang Wang had sighed like this more than once.

Some boulders were even hundreds of meters in diameter, appearing to Jiang Wang like miniature islands. However, they were not what was known as "floating islands," and there were no human settlements on them.

Explaining the composition of "floating islands" is not simple. They are definitely not just islands suspended in mid-air; there must be some necessary conditions that need to be met.

>

Otherwise, the Dingwei region shouldn't only have one floating island.

Jiang Wang had gone up to those giant stones to observe them. The stone quality was very ordinary, not the kind of floating stone he had seen at Hanging Temple. Being able to float was solely due to the special nature of the illusory realm... This made him abandon the idea of taking some corner stones back.

The surface of the boulder is mostly bare, with little to no life. There are no trees or soil, and only a few patches of moss can be found.

There were no signs of human habitation.

It goes without saying that in this chaotic battlefield, aside from the large armies assembled for war, all who participate are cultivators of the outer courtyards and above. Some engage in combat, while others recuperate on floating islands; there's simply no need for them to live in these places.

Jiang Wang's current route was planned based on the directions given, circling the only human floating island in the Ding Wei region within a vast perimeter.

This route can be seen as a sphere, with the floating island at its center. Jiang Wang's journey is plotted on the surface of this sphere.

The reason for this choice is that he put himself in the position of Bibi Zhu, and it was easy for him to reach a conclusion—the faster Jiang Wangyue is killed, the better.

He wanted to resolve the situation with Lady BiZhu as quickly as possible, but when she also desired the same outcome, he found himself needing some patience.

Looking for a needle in the ocean is clearly not a good option. For Bi Zhu Po, who has the upper hand in terms of strength, staying near the floating island is an easier way to "capture" Jiang Wang.

Because Jiang Wang had to go to the floating island for "replenishment".

This "resupply" is not merely about resources, nor just about artifacts, Dao Yuan Stones, or medicines. It lies at the heart of a crucial issue of "alienation".

A long time ago, practitioners discovered that spending too much time in the illusionary realm would cause their bodies to be subtly altered by the realm itself. This wasn't a strange change like growing extra heads or limbs. It was incredibly subtle, so subtle it was practically impossible to detect.

Because of the interaction between life and environment, it is constantly being completed in subtle ways.

Anyone who has spent too long in the Demon Realm will experience some degree of reaction when they return to the human territory. They have become less accustomed to the human world!

Mild cases only need a short period of treatment. Severe cases can even result in permanent changes!

...Weakening combat strength, losing control of the Dao Yuan, unable to sense primal energy, and even breathing was painful...

This kind of change is called "alienation".

Celestial realm cultivators wouldn't experience "transformation" because their bodies are made of pure gold and jade, allowing them to easily contain their changes.

But the warriors who venture into the Demon Realm are not all gods of overwhelming power.

The way to solve the problem of "alienation" is also very simple. Before your body becomes alienated, take a break on the floating island for a while every once in a while. Just stay for a night. If you can focus on cooperating with the environment, this time can be shortened.

In a way, floating islands are akin to small human enclaves. Returning to a floating island is like returning to human territory.

Please note that the "" characters were already included in your input. I have not changed them.

Because Floating Islands hold such great importance, they have become islands of life for the human race in the Netherworld. The number of Floating Islands therefore represents the strength of a particular region.

Jiang Wang chose to go around the Floating Island, firstly to avoid confronting Bi Zhu Po directly before fully adapting to the Illusory Realm. Secondly, it was to test Bi Zhu Po's decisiveness in return.

Bi Zhu PoPo wanted to get rid of Jiang Wang as quickly as possible, and of course she also knew that Jiang Wang was eager to complete his atonement so he could return to Tianya Tai and take away Zhu BiQiong.

So the question before her was, how high of a priority was it for Jiang Wang to kill her With so many resources at his disposal, could he complete his atonement before the mutation occurred Was it even possible that he didn't need to go to the Floating Island at all and could simply achieve his goal and leave

No matter how wise Bi Zhu Po is, these problems are unavoidable, and these entanglements are bound to arise.

Her greed for Jiang Wang had been displayed too openly, and it was impossible to let Jiang Wang go in the realm of illusions. As long as she held onto this point, she could make relatively accurate judgments.

Jiang Wang could even judge the approximate range where Bi Zhu Po was lurking. She wouldn't be too close to the floating island, because if she were, Jiang Wang would likely escape into the floating island directly during the battle. Fighting on the floating island is forbidden for human cultivators.

But it also won't be too far from the floating island, because if it's too far away, it's easy to miss something.

So she should be within the large circle that Jiang Wang is circling, making a smaller circle.

Here's the translation:>>>Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!

And it's not always necessary to go around. You can just set up "eyes" on the edge of this small circle.

But during the initial days of surveillance, she wouldn't have encountered Jiang Wang.

After that, she would be caught in a dilemma: should she continue to lurk around Jiang Wang or take the initiative

Proactive pursuit might cause us to miss Jiang Wang's trip to the floating island for resupply. But if we continue to lay in wait, Jiang Wang might have already successfully cleared his name and left.

This kind of entanglement will surely torment that old woman constantly. The longer it goes on, the more she will be at a loss and unable to decide what to do.

The opportunity that Jiang Wang had been waiting for arrived at that moment.
