Eternal Life: I Can Break Through The Limits Of All Methods

Chapter 169: Playing with Illusions

Afterwards, Sect Leader Su, along with several other elders, warmly welcomed Chu Ming.

They also accepted Chu Ming's proposal to spread the news of Heavenly Dao Sect disciples taking action to the major sects and cultivation forces.

This was done to deter Demonic Cultivators who were planning to join Myriad Demon Cave, so as to prevent more people from getting involved in this conflict.

Afterwards, Chu Ming was arranged to live in a First Grade Cave Mansion and was provided with two Dao disciples to attend to his daily needs.

Chu Ming didn't really need the Dao disciples and requested to be left alone for quiet cultivation.

If there was nothing urgent, he didn't want to be disturbed.

Sect Leader Su naturally complied and treated Chu Ming with great courtesy.

In his eyes, this was an opportunity to establish a connection with Heavenly Dao Sect. If successful, Bilin Valley would have a bright future.

After reaching the Infant Formation stage, they might even have the opportunity to cultivate in Heavenly Dao Sect.

Jiang Zhilan watched as Chu Ming's puppet left, knowing full well that he had achieved his goal and switched to another puppet or his true body.

She had no intention of contacting Chu Ming any further and began to think about how to find his true body.

She already had quite a few clues and upon careful analysis, she should be able to deduce more.

...

After entering the Cave Mansion, Chu Ming casually planted a perception plant and had his puppet, Hoda, cultivate quietly in the Cave Mansion.

He then used the puppets Jin Yiming and two others to arrange the remaining perception plants and the Swallow Step platform.

At this point, Myriad Demon Cave was already under his surveillance.

Most of the demonic cultivators had been recalled to the sect and were not allowed to leave.

It seemed that the old demon was afraid, but Chu Ming wasn't sure about his next move.

He could only continue to monitor the situation slowly.

Switching back to his true body, Chu Ming continued to cultivate the Five Elements Art in the Dragon Domain space.

However, after a moment, he suddenly felt a strong fragrance of flowers approaching.

This smell, very familiar, it's the scent of Jiang Zhilan.

He couldn't help but open his eyes and saw a green-robed female cultivator stepping on a flying lotus appearing in front of him.

Fair skin, voluptuous figure, half-exposed round and slender jade legs, with a coquettish smile on her face.

It was indeed Jiang Zhilan.

"Chu Fellow Daoist, I didn't expect to see you here."

Chu Ming was stunned when he saw her.

"You...how did you come here?"

He really couldn't understand how Jiang Zhilan could appear by his side.

Could it be that the other party had some special means to find him based on the puppet?

That's impossible, right?

Jiang Zhilan smiled, "Can't I come? I have missed Fellow Daoist for a long time. Fellow Daoist, don't you miss me?"

She jumped off the lotus, her voluptuous body swaying, and then walked towards Chu Ming barefoot with slow steps.

Chu Ming was still sitting cross-legged on the ground. Jiang Zhilan circled behind him, lightly caressing his neck and cheeks with her fair and slender fingers.

Then she half-knelt on the ground, hugged him from behind, and rested her head on his shoulder.

She gently whispered in his ear, "Chu Fellow Daoist, can you teach Zhilan your Path of Mutation? If you can, Zhilan is willing to offer herself and serve you for a lifetime."

"Whatever you ask Zhilan to do, Zhilan is willing to do without hesitation."

Chu Ming was stirred up by her actions and felt the delicate body behind him. The evil fire was somewhat difficult to suppress.

But he couldn't help but ask, "How did you get in?"

"And how did you find me?"

Jiang Zhilan smiled, "When we have fate, we will meet. Back at the auction, I had already decided to marry the Fellow Daoist who sold the Mutation Spirit Rice."

"Since then, I have been searching diligently, and finally, my efforts paid off, allowing me to accidentally find this place."

"I never expected that the person who captivated my heart and dreams would turn out to be a disciple of the Divine Will Sect's outer sect who was fishing at Golden Scale Lake that day. It's truly surprising."

"Since Fellow Daoist Chu has already married three beautiful wives, why not marry me as well?"

"Besides, didn't you say before? Compared to the cold and elegant fairies like Fellow Daoist Li, you prefer a mature and charming female cultivator like me."

"Don't you want to cultivate together with me?"

Hearing her words, Chu Ming felt that something was not quite right.

He had already had some contact with Jiang Zhilan just now, without revealing his identity to her.

If she were to come looking for him, she would definitely be proud of herself.

The current reaction felt a bit off.

He switched to the perspective of the puppet Han Da and observed Jiang Zhilan's Cave Mansion in the distance.

Indeed, there was no one there, but if he observed it periodically, there would be slight changes in the spiritual plants inside the Cave Mansion.

Seeing this, Chu Ming understood.

It seemed that he had fallen into an illusion.

Powerful illusions can change what one sees, hears, and smells according to the intentions of the caster.

However, the influence of illusions is naturally limited and cannot make the entire world change along with it.

So, after switching to the puppet's perspective, the influence of the illusion weakened significantly, allowing him to see some clues.

He then secretly used the Reverse True Conversion technique, trying to resist this illusion.

In an instant, the fragrance he smelled changed slightly.

The rich floral scent from Jiang Zhilan's body was replaced by the fresh and cool scent from Long Ling'er.

He chuckled inwardly, so it was this little brat playing tricks on him.

If he hadn't had previous contact with Jiang Zhilan and his Reverse True Conversion technique was not strong enough, he might not have been able to tell.

Is her illusion already this powerful?

Chu Ming thought to himself that since this illusion was so realistic and not dangerous, then... hehe.

He embraced the "Jiang Zhilan" behind him.

He smiled and said, "To be honest, I have been deeply infatuated with Fairy Zhilan since the first time I saw her."

"Since Fairy is so kind, why should I refuse?"

As he spoke, his hand reached towards Jiang Zhilan's collar.

A hint of anger appeared on Jiang Zhilan's face. "You... Aren't you worried about your three wives?"

"You haven't even asked about them?"

"And how did I get in? You haven't figured that out, aren't you worried?"

Chu Ming gently stroked her cheek and said, "Fairy has a kind heart, I naturally understand. I won't make things difficult for my wives."

Jiang Zhilan pushed his hand away and said angrily, "You... Don't you know who I am?"

"I will spare your three wives?"

"I have already captured them, and I plan to devour that Long Ling'er."

Chu Ming smiled and said, "Fairy, stop joking."

"Others may not understand your character, but I do."

"You wouldn't do such a thing. Stop saying so much, let's hurry up and cultivate together. I'll let Fairy witness my cultivation technique."

After hearing this, Jiang Zhilan looked aggrieved. "I never expected you to be like this, only thinking about cultivation, disregarding the safety of your own wives."

Chu Ming couldn't help but laugh. "Isn't that fish in my arms? Why should I worry about her safety?"

Jiang Zhilan widened her eyes after hearing this. "You... You figured it out?"

Chu Ming shrugged. "Do you think your methods are very clever?"

"Well, you can use illusions, and using them in cultivation is indeed quite innovative."

"Alright, enough talking."

"I don't know what you're thinking, but since you've ignited my anger, you have to take responsibility to the end."

"Next, just maintain this appearance..."
