In the grand hall of the Dragon Palace in the Eastern Sea, under the watchful eyes of the countless civil and military officials, the Illusionary Formation emitted a brilliant and dazzling light. A streak of radiance cut through it and entered the glabella of Li Xiaobai.

His Primordial Spirit returned to his body, and Li Xiaobai gradually regained consciousness but did not immediately open his eyes, remaining seated on the ground. He meticulously reviewed the System Attribute Points panel that appeared before his eyes. He noticed that, in the moment when he walked out of the Illusionary Realm, there were new changes on the System panel.

Although he had spent a sixty-year cycle in the Illusionary Realm, merely an hour or two had passed in the outside world. Seeing the Illusionary Formation unravel on its own, the officials couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

“To think he could walk out of the Illusionary Realm of his own accord, this man is truly a prodigy of our time!”

“Naturally, to possess the cultivation level capable of killing Great Crossing Realm Cultivators in an instant at such a young age, his perception is clearly extraordinary!”

“This man has gone through a marvelous trial in the Illusionary Realm and has spent a sixty-year cycle within; such an abrupt increase in experience is enough to greatly enhance his mental cultivation. Li Xiaobai has truly made a fortune today!”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“Yes, indeed, only time is something that’s hard to take a shortcut through…”

“Moreover, I see that at the end in the Illusionary Realm, he seemed to have had a realization. It’s quite a rare feat!”

“Yes, yes…”

Inside the grand hall, not to mention the military generals, even the civilian officials could scarcely contain their praise for Li Xiaobai.

The performance of the man was so remarkable that they almost forgot that the original purpose of activating the Formation was to test his temperament and the sincerity of his feelings for Long Xue.

As for Gui Xuan, whose complexion was incredibly ugly, nobody bothered to give him another glance.

Who is that? They were too lazy to care.

This Illusionary Realm World is a complete world; if, like Gui Xuan, he had been slaughtered as soon as the game started, how could they have had the chance to witness such an excellent trial in the Illusionary Realm?

Listening to the whispering of the officials around, even the Tortoise Prime Minister’s face turned as unsightly as if he had swallowed a fly. He realized that those civilian officials who used to grovel before him and speak in support of Gui Xuan now seemed to be turning their allegiance to Li Xiaobai.

After witnessing the world within the Illusionary Realm, his grandson had indeed lost the people’s hearts.

“Do not disturb him, he has had a realization within the Illusionary Realm and is likely having an epiphany.”

The Old Dragon King, seeing Li Xiaobai’s slightly furrowed brow, nodded and spoke softly.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“Xue’er, you have personally experienced everything within the Illusionary Realm, how do you feel about Li Xiaobai?”

Taking advantage of Li Xiaobai’s moment of closed-eyed contemplation, the Old Dragon King asked Long Xue in front of all the civil and military officials.

The entire Illusionary Realm was under his control, and Long Xue had been extracted from the Illusionary Realm by the Old Dragon King as soon as she was sent to the Imperial Palace by Chen Yuanyuan.

She was his beloved granddaughter, and he would never allow her to suffer the slightest harm, even within the Illusionary Realm.

Subsequently, Long Xue had witnessed the entire process within the Illusionary Realm from the outside world, moved that Li Xiaobai would become a willing madman for her sake within the Illusionary Realm.

“Grandfather, Xue’er will marry no one but him in this lifetime!”

Long Xue stated with a resolute gaze.

“Gui Xuan, what do you have to say?”

“If there are any objections, you may voice them now.”

The Old Dragon King turned to the Tortoise Prime Minister and Gui Xuan, asking with a smile that showed his good mood.

“I, the grandson, am dull-witted, unable to comprehend even one ten-thousandth of the King’s kindness, and voluntarily gave up the opportunity to cultivate in the Illusionary Realm. With such an impatient temperament, indeed I do not deserve Princess Xue’er. Young Master Li was actually able to comprehend cultivation techniques in the Illusionary Realm and sense the natural laws of heaven and earth; I am utterly convinced, both in my heart and speech,” the Tortoise Prime Minister hurriedly said.

At this moment, his heart was filled only with endless shame and rage. Compared to Li Xiaobai, his grandson seemed like a fool, completely reduced to a laughing stock and a buffoon in the eyes of the officials.

In the Dragon Palace, it seemed that he, the Tortoise Prime Minister, wouldn’t be able to raise his head high for a long time.

Just who was this genius who had descended upon the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace out of nowhere and even won the Old Dragon King’s favor? Without this individual, his grandson had a great chance to marry the little princess!

It was all Li Xiaobai’s fault!

The more the Tortoise Prime Minister thought about it, the fiercer the light in his eyes became. However, he was helpless now; Li Xiaobai’s performance was clear for all to see, and the civil and military officials were all implicitly leaning towards him. Even though he was seething with anger, he dared not openly provoke disaster and could only swallow his bitter feelings.

By his side, Gui Xuan was also trembling with fear. The look on his grandfather’s face terrified him, giving him a premonition that upon their return to the clan, he would undoubtedly face severe punishment.

“Hmm, since both of you, grandfather and grandson, are willingly submissive, let it be settled then. In a moment, I myself will propose the marriage!”

The Old Dragon King was a man of fiery temper and couldn’t wait another moment, eager to settle the matter as quickly as possible.

“Thank you, Grandfather.”

Long Xue’s cheeks were slightly flushed.

Li Xiaobai paid no mind to the murmuring of those within the great hall; at this moment, his heart was throbbing with excitement as he stared at the system panel before him, almost ready to leap for joy.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

He had gained an insight in the Illusionary Realm, so he had brought two cultivation techniques from the Illusionary Realm into reality, and the system panel showed two new skills, both of which were divine!

[Ding! Host has acquired the skill: Divine Technique of Spiritual Cultivation…]

[Ding! Host already possesses a similar skill: Blood Demon Transcendental Venerable…]

[Skill merging in progress…]

[Ding! Host has acquired a Divine Level skill: Heart of the Blood Demon.]

Note: (A heart from Blood Demon Transcendental Venerable, capable of absorbing power from others’ bodies, the more cultivation absorbed, the stronger the power of the Heart of the Blood Demon.)

…

[Ding! Host has acquired the skill: Demon Sealing Sword Technique…]

[Ding! Host already possesses a similar skill: Nine Revolutions Undying Sword Intent…]

[Skill merging in progress…]

[Ding! Host has acquired a Divine Level skill: Demon Sealing Sword Evocation.]

Note: (A top-level Sword Intent, once deployed can corrode all spiritual artifacts and magic treasures, slay a person’s Divine Soul, and with Sword Qi, the Sword Intent can be sharpened even further.)

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Seeing the series of prompts popping up on the system panel, Li Xiaobai was overjoyed. It was truly an unexpected boon; he hadn’t expected there to be such benefits from entering the Illusionary Realm.

Both of these techniques were brought out from the Illusionary Realm and were supposed to be garbage, but after merging with similar skills, they underwent a qualitative transformation. Blood Demon Transcendental Venerable and Nine Revolutions Undying Sword Intent were the initial skills he acquired, capable of contending with Nascent Soul Cultivators.

Later, after he had acquired Hundred Percent Barehanded Blade Catch and Hellfire, he gradually lost the motivation to enhance these ordinary skills. Unexpectedly, he now gained two Divine Level skills, and from their descriptions, they seemed very powerful.

The Heart of the Blood Demon needed no further explanation, it absorbed the cultivation from the opponent’s body, thereby strengthening his own heart and probably could slightly increase Attribute Points. Demon Sealing Sword Evocation, on the other hand, was an indomitable method of attack, slaying Primordial Spirits and corroding Magic Treasures, which were exactly the offensive means he currently lacked.

Although Hellfire was immensely powerful, its range of damage was too extensive for use only in sparsely populated areas. For everyday battles, more refined techniques were still needed. Demon Sealing Sword Evocation had arrived just in time.

Now he had four Divine Level skills under his belt, capable of unleashing quite impressive synergy.

With this in mind, Li Xiaobai slowly opened his eyes, looked around him, stood up, and with hands clasped behind his back, he looked up into the sky at a 45-degree angle, his eyes brimming with confidence.

“Invincibility is calling out to me!”
