In the illusory realm, Jiang Wang controlled the Sword Debate Platform, heading straight into the Milky Way.

Two Sword Debate Platforms met, and the scene transformed.

It was still the same square room, simple and empty.

It was still Dugu Wudi and Zhen Wudi.

“Brother Dugu, long time no see!” Fatty Zhen appeared to be overjoyed.

As soon as he finished speaking, he was swept away by a whirlwind, avoiding Jiang Wang’s attacking sword light.

“Hey, why are you attacking right away! Can’t we catch up?”

He kept talking, but his hands weren’t idle.

He smoothly forced Jiang Wang back with two wind blades, followed by rising earth spikes and entangling vines.

Jiang Wang waved his sword, breaking the wind and thrusting forward.

Smashing the earth spikes, thrusting forward.

Cutting through the vines, thrusting forward.

The Violet Qi East Coming Sword’s killing techniques were integrated into every move. Jiang Wang kept pressing forward, relentlessly.

The battle space was very spacious, but it couldn’t withstand Zhen Wudi’s constant retreat.

Especially as Jiang Wang intentionally maintained the pressure, forcing him all the way into the corner, locking down his maneuvering space.

Fatty Zhen was shocked to discover that after not seeing each other for a while, his opponent had become very skilled at dealing with his dazzling Taoist techniques!

No matter how many ingenious tricks he used, he was still gradually being locked down.

Left with no choice, he began to unleash his true strength.

His ten fingers moved, and the speed of his hand seals almost created afterimages! At this time, he completed each of his Taoist techniques within half a breath, achieving a “pseudo-instant” effect.

Three golden light arrows formed a triangular formation to clear the path. Jiang Wang barely avoided them, and then a row of wind blades slashed diagonally.

Jiang Wang’s sword surged with violet qi, sweeping away the power of the Taoist techniques. Zhen Wudi, however, had already wrapped himself in a whirlwind and jumped out of the predicament!

His pseudo-instant state couldn’t last long, otherwise he could have completely overwhelmed Jiang Wang with a whole set of attacks. But using it just to escape was enough.

However, as soon as he jumped out, he was greeted by two extremely agile vine snakes!

In fact, Jiang Wang’s Taoist techniques were never weak. The completion of the Azure Dragon chapter of the Four Spirits Body Refining Technique, in particular, made him close to wood-type elemental power, increasing his control over wood-type Taoist techniques by at least 30%.

However, in the last battle, Jiang Wang realized that his hand seal speed was one to two breaths slower than this fatty’s, so he was very cautious with his use of Taoist techniques, holding back until the most crucial moment.

When Zhen Wudi’s pseudo-instant state disappeared and he thought he had escaped.

Those two vine snakes not only blocked the only way forward, but their attack angles were also tricky and vicious, making them difficult to avoid.

And behind him, Jiang Wang had already caught up with his sword again.

“I thought I’d found a fat sheep… As expected, the people who appear in this broken place are all monsters.”

In such a critical moment, Zhen Wudi still managed to mutter a sentence.

He conjured a ball of water shield in mid-air to meet Jiang Wang’s sword. His fat body didn’t affect his agile turn at all. He reached out and grabbed a vine snake, slamming it into another vine snake.

Jiang Wang had already suffered from the heavy water shield and of course wouldn’t make the same mistake again. He tilted his sword downward, and his whole body rushed down at high speed, passing under Zhen Wudi and rising up from behind him with his sword!

At this time, Zhen Wudi had just dealt with the vine snakes. His fat hand pressed down, and a fireball faced Jiang Wang directly.

The sword’s light sliced horizontally!

Jiang Wang was about to cut the fireball open directly, not giving Zhen Wudi another chance to escape.

But his sword was incredibly heavy!

What bullshit heavy water shield, it was all a lie. Zhen Wudi’s secret technique wasn’t the heavy water shield, but the ability to compress gravity onto any Taoist technique. At least that’s what this fireball was like.

Boom!

The exploding shockwave burst out, and Jiang Wang couldn’t avoid it, instantly being blasted into dust.

Zhen Wudi sat down on the ground with a thud, wiping away sweat and saying, “Damn it, I almost lost this time.”

…

The opponent has refused the challenge.

In the blessed land, Jiang Wang’s teeth itched. He had just forced out the fatty’s trump card and was about to avenge his previous defeat, but he didn’t expect this dead fatty to have another trump card!

But even so, reviewing the battle just now, Jiang Wang believed that he wasn’t without a chance of winning. The main thing was that he was a little too eager to succeed at the last moment. If he had continued to execute the oppressive tactics and not given Fatty Zhen a chance, he might not have lost the fight.

The loss of twenty merits was painful, now he only had 3340 merits left.

The most hateful thing was that he immediately wanted to fight again, but that fatty actually refused!

A fat paper crane flew over, with the words: Brother Dugu, I’ve had my fill for today, let’s fight another day!

What about the agreed-upon sparring whenever you have time?

When he wasn’t in the illusory realm, this fatty would send a paper crane every day asking for a fight. Today, after just one fight, he’s had his fill?

Jiang Wang replied: Shameless!

Zhen Wudi: Why are you cursing people?

Dugu Wudi: Unconvinced? Come and fight.

Zhen Wudi: Heh, I won’t fall for your tricks.

Jiang Wang was too lazy to reply and began to review the entire battle again in his mind, looking for the points where he made mistakes to avoid making them again next time. This was his habit and one of the reasons why his strength had improved so quickly.

Zhen Wudi: Why aren’t you talking?

Zhen Wudi: Brother Dugu?

Zhen Wudi invites you to enter the Star River Space. Accept/Decline.

Jiang Wang thought for a while and, out of curiosity about the Star River Space, chose to accept.

The Sword Debate Platform activated, and the environment transformed. Jiang Wang appeared in a small pavilion.

The pavilion was suspended in the void.

Looking into the distance, the Milky Way hung upside down, and close by, stars filled the sky. Occasionally, shooting stars flashed past on both sides.

It was magnificent.

The interior of the pavilion was extremely shabby, with only a stone table and two stone chairs.

Fatty Zhen’s fat was piled up on one of the chairs.

“Hey, hey, don’t attack, this isn’t a place for sword debates!” he said, waving his hands.

Jiang Wang looked around without saying anything.

Zhen Wudi grumbled to himself, “This broken place cost me ten merits? I just earned them for nothing.”

Jiang Wang’s eyelids twitched when he heard this, because the ten merits the fatty earned were his.

“Ahem.” Zhen Wudi changed the subject and said confidently, “After the battle just now, you must already know my background.”

He didn’t want to reveal his identity in the illusory realm, but in the battle just now, he couldn’t help but reveal his first trump card. Since he had already revealed one, he might as well reveal the second.

This also meant that his identity could no longer be hidden, because his family’s representative secret technique was too famous.

Of course, this was just Zhen Wudi’s own idea.

In fact, Jiang Wang didn’t know who he was.

“Ah, so you’re…”

“Yes, I am indeed…” Zhen Wudi waited for a long time, only to realize that Jiang Wang didn’t continue.

He could only chuckle and say, “You know.”

Jiang Wang didn’t know at all.

“What did you want to talk to me about?” he asked.

“Hehe, doesn’t Brother Dugu find the illusory realm too boring? Every time you come in, there’s only a small room, and all you do is fight. If you want to deduce, the merits are pitifully few. I’ve contributed a lot of techniques to accumulate a little. If you want to fight, there are so many freaks!” Zhen Wudi seemed to have a lot of pent-up resentment.

“You’re the first person to reply to me with so much, so I invited you over to chat and make friends.” Zhen Wudi looked around and continued, “When the Hongmeng Space opens up in the future, it will be much more convenient to find a place to chat and won’t cost any merits.”

In terms of understanding the illusory realm, Jiang Wang was naturally far inferior to the fatty in front of him, because his Void Key was “picked up,” and the illusory realm didn’t have his slot originally.

From Zhen Wudi’s words, Jiang Wang got a lot of information. One was that people like Zhen Wudi only had a small room as their base in the illusory realm, unlike him, who had a blessed land, although its ranking was getting lower and lower…

The second was that you could contribute techniques to the illusory realm to earn merits.

The third was that a Hongmeng Space would be opened after the illusory realm, which should be a place similar to a public space, and entering it wouldn’t cost any merits, which was obviously encouraging communication.

Under what circumstances would such a space need to be opened? Jiang Wang could only think of one possibility – the number of people in the illusory realm would increase!

Perhaps one day, the illusory realm would be open to all cultivators.

And Jiang Wang, who had already experienced the benefits of the illusory realm, could completely imagine what a great change and torrent of humanity that would be.

Perhaps it would directly change the entire transcendent landscape of the present world!
