~ Many years ago ~

"There's another spirit being born!" A young boy shouted with joy as he ran across the village, barefoot, his long brown hair flowing behind him. This news brought a smile onto the faces of all the people.

There were not more than fifty people in the small village, and the fact that another one of them would be born soon brought great satisfaction and happiness. In one of the houses situated in the centre, a handsome man looked out to the young boy, his silver white hair coming down to his ankles, eyes as cold as steel.

He scoffed, looking at his wrists where, just for a second, dark red and blue bruises appeared. He fell to the ground, heart pounding and breaths quickening.

"So what if there's a new spirit being born?"

He stood up, pouring tea in a ceramic cup. Even though he tried to calm his thoughts, it was useless. Unpleasant memories had already emerged, spawning vicious dark thoughts in his mind.

"Those alive are so selfish..."

He sighed, eyes already vacant as he stared at the tree right in the mid of their settlement with a twisted trunk and gnarled roots. The leaves were a healthy green and seemed to glow with a golden luster, there were many flowers blossoming this season, making the tranquil picture even more heavenly.

"It is better if no one were to be born into this cruel world."

Saying this, the man with the silver hair was about to take a sip of his tea, but instead noticed the baby pink petal which had floated in through the window into his cup.

While Baili Hong Zhuang and Di Bei Chen's thoughts were on the deep meaning that the arrangement of the ancient monument's owner may have, the eyes of other people could not help but fall on them.

"In the short period of half a month..."

"Baili Hong Zhuang broke through to the first step of the Hong Border?" Yan Ling Xuan was in disbelief, this progress was too great, he thought that breaking through from the Intermediate Stage Mysterious Heaven Realm to the first level of the Hong Border took a long time.

"It seems that Baili Hong Zhuang chanced upon a great opportunity in the monument, so she could directly breakthrough from the Acquired Realm to the Innate Realm."

Huang Fu Hui said faintly and with sorrow, it seems that their luck was not as good as Baili Hong Zhuang's!

If this opportunity had befallen him, his strength would have been improved again, going beyond Yan Ling Xuang and the others.

Lin Yi Rou's pretty face was also filled with emotions Even though she had never talked to Baili Hong Zhuang before, it now seemed that Baili Hong Zhuang was not as simple as she imagined.

"Baili Hong Zhuang and Di Bei Chen were the first to pass through the illusion. Just from this point, the strength cannot be underestimated. It can only be said that we were too slow in breaking the illusion."

Yan Ling Xuan frowned, "Baili Hong Zhuang and Di Bei Chen were together. Why do you think that it is Baili Hong Zhuang who should not be underestimated? Maybe it was because of the merits of Di Bei Chen that they were able to walk out of the illusion."

Thinking of Di Bei Chen's strength, they were all convinced of it.

After all, Di Bei Chen was famous since before and was well known among the young cultivators in the Sheng Xuan continent, they also admired him.

It was normal if they were defeated by the hands of Di Bei Chen. This was difficult for them to accept, but if they say that they had lost to some unknown person, they felt it unacceptable.

Lin Yi Rou's eyebrows rose slightly, and the calm and quiet face was full of a deep smile.

Looking at Lin Yi Rou's expression, Yan Ling Xuan confirmed that Lin Yi Rou knew something that he did not know. He couldn't help but ask, "Lin Yi Rou, if you know something, don't hide just tell me."

"Miss Lin, you know it would be better to say it, let us also analyze it." Huang Fu Hui was also attracted.

Lin Yi Rou looked at the curious expression of Yan Ling Xuan and Huang Fu Hui, and the curve of her lips rose slightly. "Before hearing the cultivators of the family talk about the illusion, did you know that the situation we encountered before was a fantasy?"

Yan Ling Xuan and Huang FU Hui looked at each other. At first glance at each other, they shook their head, "I didn't know."

"That's exactly it!"

"What do you mean?" Yan Ling Xuan frowned. Why did he not understand the meaning of the words Lin Yi Rou said?

"I heard the conversation between Han Xi Ling and Di Bei Chen, and Di Bei Chen said that the situation they had seen before was an illusion. She didn't know it. He told her what it was."

"This proves that Baili Hong Zhuang knew it from before. The things she knows ar no less then what we know, perhaps... it is even more than us!"

With the voice of Lin Yi Rou falling, the faces of Yan Ling Xuan and Huang Fu Hui also became dignified. So it seems that the secrets Baili Hong Zhuang held were really a lot!

As a child of a cultivation family, they know a lot of things, but for this illusion, it was really the first time they saw it, and it was their first time even hearing of it.

"Perhaps Baili Hong Zhuang happens to know just this special thing." Yan Ling Xuan said slowly.

Lin Yi Rou chuckled softly. "The cultivators of the families do not know it was an illusion they just thought that they were in a fantasy..."
