Chapter 134: Chapter 130: Great Illusion King Insect

This is a magnificent, prolonged dream that one is reluctant to wake from.

But Wang Wu eventually woke up, feeling somewhat sad, because the sensations within the dream were truly intoxicating, and even knowing they were false, there was a willingness to immerse in them!

This almost overturned his understanding of the Illusion Realm.

It wasn’t because one couldn’t tell reality from illusion that one would become addicted.

Rather, it was knowing it was false and still wanting to indulge!

This was truly terrifying.

Wang Wu felt that this was the most sophisticated illusion.

If it were when he first arrived, he would have definitely been done for.

Other illusions disappeared like bubbles in a dream, beauties turned to bones, and everything within the illusion felt laughable and sad.

But this one, he truly loathed to part.

Wang Wu, who had resisted Demon King Level poison and could refine profound iron three thousand times in a row, considered himself to have decent willpower, yet at this moment, even he couldn’t help but be in tears, feeling utterly dejected.

Of course, perhaps he was just too weak?

He took a full few minutes before regaining his composure, and the damage to his throat had already self-healed.

At this moment, he glanced at the dense information, and inevitably sweating with cold perspiration, his heart pounding.

This time he really encountered a formidable character.

“You are attempting to capture a Sixth-Grade Great Illusion King Insect!”

“You have been attacked by a Demon King Level hallucinogenic poison, you’ve been captured in reverse, and under the control of the Great Illusion King Insect, you’ve inflicted 500 points of damage upon yourself!”

“Due to your Level 13 Danger Perception, Level 2 Heart of the Earth, 13 points of Demon King Level poison resistance, and the suppression from your Ancient Giant Bear Bloodline, you temporarily regain consciousness and attempt to suppress the Great Illusion King Insect, but fail.”

“You regain consciousness again. The Great Illusion King Insect attempts to flee and uses hallucinogenic control on you. It succeeded, but you still managed to kill it.”

“The explanation is that the Great Illusion King Insect is a parasitic pest even the Eight Desolate Ancient Trees can do nothing about, coming and going without a trace. You’re able to kill it only because you seized the initiative, caught it off guard, and swallowed it. If it had discovered your presence first, it would have either escaped, or you would have already become its parasitic slave.”

“Your Demon King Level poison resistance increases by two points, current level is (15/100).”

“Your Bloodline Evolution Level increased by 0.1% due to this influence, current level is 39.7%.”

“You have unlocked a new Demon King Level poison resistance.”

[Hallucinogenic Poison Resistance: 1/100]

“You have eaten the Great Illusion King Insect, gaining 10,000 satiety points, 5,000 Spiritual Qi points, and 500 Cyan Wood Spiritual Qi points.”

“Due to your current insufficient Spiritual Qi storage limit, all excess Spiritual Qi will dissipate after 24 hours.”

“Since you currently cannot harness Cyan Wood Spiritual Qi, all of it will dissipate after one hour.”

——

“Wow! Thanks for the big red envelope, old buddy!”

The low mood Wang Wu had due to the illusion was finally reignited, his eyes sparkling. If this doesn’t count as love, then what is there to lament?

This is indeed true love, without a doubt.

Laughing heartily three times in his mind, Wang Wu immediately swiftly opened the attribute bar, without any hesitation, upgraded the Copper Head Iron Bone secret technique to Level 2.

In short, prioritize defense!

[Copper Head Iron Bone: Level 2, when detecting irresistible powerful attacks, it can be instantly activated to provide up to 600 points of physical damage immunity per second during the next three seconds, this effect can stack with basic defense.]

That’s awesome!

After upgrading, Wang Wu closed the attribute bar. The 500 points of Cyan Wood Spiritual Qi didn’t belong to him; he didn’t have the ability to retain it, so it couldn’t be displayed at all.

He didn’t even know what to do with it; if his Companion Demon Vine were in an awakened state now, it would be great.

How about letting Old Niu help?

Can that guy absorb Cyan Wood Spiritual Qi?

Wang Wu thought for a moment, and just as he was about to return to the Tree Heart underground, suddenly he felt a thought flash through his mind, reached behind his head, and pulled off an ordinary dead, yellow leaf—it was precisely the Hundred-Change Ruyi Demon Leaf he activated non-stop, day in and day out, without worrying about the Spiritual Qi consumption.

Speaking of which, the fact that he managed to completely fool that Sixth-Grade Great Illusion King Insect this time might just owe a credit to the disguise enhancement of this Hundred-Change Ruyi Demon Leaf.

At this moment, the dry leaf was faintly glowing, seemingly absorbing something.

Could it be absorbing the Cyan Wood Spiritual Qi that was dissipating from his body? That’s great news.

Wang Wu immediately stopped rushing, sat on the spot, clamped the Hundred-Change Ruyi Demon Leaf in his mouth, and felt extremely relaxed.

But after relaxing for a while, unknowingly, he fell asleep.

In the dream, he seemed to hear a gentle voice whispering, but he couldn’t clearly hear what it was, instead, he felt like he was turning into a caterpillar.

Then he was crawling and crawling, not knowing how long he crawled, he finally entered an unfamiliar space, only surrounded by mist, with a single spot of light in the center.

In this light, he saw Cao Li Heng and another Little Tree Spirit, which seemed familiar. Could it be its sister, Grass Dance?

They seem to be arguing, the voices are very chaotic.

Wang Wu listened carefully and diligently, yet he only caught a few words like ancient blood, withered death, sacrifice, Yunding Human Race.

Then the surroundings became foggy again, Wang Wu could only strive to continue climbing, suddenly, another beam of light projected down, and Wang Wu unexpectedly saw snow flying all over the sky, saw the ground, and the outline of the West Mountain, wow, has it turned winter?

Wait, am I in the memory of that Great Illusion King Insect?

Am I watching its memories?

The light ahead grew brighter and brighter, the mist around also drew further away, like the lens of a telescope adjusting focus.

If Wang Wu didn’t understand before, then now he could probably confirm that the Great Illusion King Insect was trying to gaze into the distance.

Then, he once again saw Cao Li Heng and Cao Li Wu, the two siblings, it’s as if the Great Illusion King Insect is deliberately tracking them, could it be because they are natural enemies?

This is very likely, Little Tree Spirit is the companion race of Ancient Trees, while the Great Illusion King Insect is an insect parasite of Ancient Trees, your position is determined by your backside.

If Little Tree Spirit is not adept at hunting down Great Illusion King Insects, is it even worthy of being a companion race?

If Devil Vine isn’t really a Devil Vine, would Wang Wu waste his efforts to be its companion?

Same logic!

But wait?

Suddenly, with the vision expanding even more, Wang Wu was startled, for he saw a giant Ice Wolf, as well as Hei Youliang locked in a prison cart, Gui Buli, Bao Dachun, and that alluring Catgirl, along with many, no no no, at least hundreds of demons, good heavens, what’s going on?

The voices were inaudible, but it was guessable.

Is this the Ten Thousand Beasts Alliance being captured in one go, to be sent into the Great Ape King’s Seek Death Camp?

Hahaha! It’s so amusing!

While Wang Wu’s heart was shouting with joy, he couldn’t help but feel frightened, thank goodness, he must give Old Niu and Little Pig a nod again for those two brothers, they’re really his lucky stars.

But why did a woman appear?

Couldn’t see her face, but her back was so beautiful, she looked incredibly similar, nine point nine tenths, to the female lead from the Illusion Realm Wang Wu previously experienced.

Darn it, does this Great Illusion King Insect have such abilities too?

It can seamlessly blend the real scenes it once peeped into the Illusion Realm, how is this different from AI face-swapping technology, shame on you!

While Wang Wu was thinking this, suddenly, without warning, the woman in a white cloak with a stunning back abruptly turned her head, golden light flashed in her eyes, and instantly, it was as if a thousand-meter-high golden giant wolf in mid-air was gazing down on the land, and that gaze could immediately lock onto him.

So painful!

In just this instant, Wang Wu was scared awake, his whole body was drenched in cold sweat.

No, he wasn’t scared awake because he was still in another dream, and in it, he was still a caterpillar, yet he couldn’t control his body, he just felt himself madly fleeing.

Suddenly, he ’stopped’.

Quietly waiting, after a long while, he finally heard a voice, icily clear, carrying hidden killing intent, harmonized with the boundless cold, yet especially melodious, like the most dangerous yet enchanting composite.

“I didn’t expect there would be a young Great Illusion King Insect hidden in this West Mountain, that’s a good thing. Ice Slave, lock down the West Mountain, guard here, don’t let it escape. I don’t have time to capture it this winter, wait until next spring.”

After the words fell, there was no further sound, but immediately after, Wang Wu moved again, even he could feel ’its’ fear, it could understand human speech, it also knew how formidable that woman was, so who is she, is it General Langgu with the Eagle Eye and Wolf Glance, oh no, is it General Xuelang?

Really so dangerous!

The following scenes were as expected, the Great Illusion King Insect frantically digging down to escape, until it was caught and eaten by Wang Wu.

At this moment, Wang Wu finally awoke from the strange yet wondrous layered dream.

And upon waking this time, he felt clarity of mind, an open heart, well-being, all things were favorable, everything was as wished, auspicious stars shone brilliantly, peace year in year out.

Truly, everything pleased him to see.

Even the negative influences from the Illusion Realm before have dissipated.

How amazing!

At this moment, a few lines of information silently appeared.

“You have absorbed the Essence of the Great Illusion King Insect.”

“Your damaged soul has been repaired.”

“Your soul has grown stronger, your Demon Soul has advanced to Ninth Grade.”

After these three dry lines of information, a tender voice gently resonated within Wang Wu’s heart, like water moonlight in the background, or like the flowing piano sound.

It seemed to be talking to itself, or perhaps explaining to him.

“The Great Illusion King Insect is the most loathed parasite of the Ancient Tree Race, without exception, renowned across Four Seas and Eight Wildernesses, yet over countless ages, the Ancient Tree Race has never been able to completely eradicate the Great Illusion King Insect.”

“And the Great Illusion King Insect formed its unique Essence over countless ages to evade the spiritual oppression of Ancient Trees and escape the pursuit by Companion Races, it is one of the rarest, highly pure, directly usable Essences in the world, with no repercussions.”

“So whether in the Human Race world or across Four Seas and Eight Wildernesses, it is a treasure of great value, furthermore, its hallucinogenic poison is unparalleled, especially the hallucinogenic poison of a First-Grade Great Illusion King Insect, it is said to ensnare even Human Race Celestial Realm Great Cultivators, making them willing puppets, lost and unable to extricate themselves.”

“However, the First-Grade Great Illusion King Insect always hides within the true body of the oldest Ancient Trees, it is not a companion but surpasses one, it will never leave for its entire life because without the Ancient Tree, it would certainly die, yet due to this First-Grade Great Illusion King Insect, even the strongest cultivators of the Human Race dare not approach the true body of the oldest Ancient Trees.”

“Thus, there is also a legend that the Great Illusion King Insect is a conspiracy of Human Race Cultivators, because if not for this, the Ancient Tree Race would have swept across the entire Cultivation Realm…”
