Genshin Impact: Immortal Cave

For Li Mochen, Xiao's answer was completely beyond his expectations.

Practicing "mental imagery" is so dangerous that it can even cost one's life? Xiao said this in a casual tone, as if he were discussing a dinner menu.

Li Mochen couldn't believe his ears.

"Xiao, are you serious?"

After he confirmed that there was no problem with his hearing, he asked Xiao again.

"Of course, I know you want to become stronger, but this road is too difficult. It's better to give up."

Xiao still had no expression on his face and spoke in a flat tone, but there was a deep meaning hidden in his words. After all, he himself had walked this path before and had nearly lost his life many times.

"I won't give up. Please help me practice."

Despite this, Li Mochen's determination remained firm. As a warrior, he had a pride in his bones that he would not fall behind.

He could still accept losing to gods and monsters like Xiao, Venti, and Tevarin.

But Li Mochen couldn't stand losing to Ying, who looked similar in age. It was fine if a thousand-year-old demon beat me for fun, but why should a little girl do that?

I don't accept it, even if you kill me!

In order to defeat Ying in a week, Li Mochen had to practice desperately, even at the risk of his life.

"Really? It seems like you're not just acting on a whim, you're ready to risk your life."

"Yes, no matter what, I will not regret it."

"Then I'll help you, but you have to find some ritual supplies first."

"Ritual? What ritual?"

"I have a spell called 'Sleepwalking in Various Realms', which can allow a person's soul to leave the body and cultivate 'mental imagery'."

Although Xiao doesn't seem to be very good at spells, this is actually not the case.

According to Xiao, "Sleepwalking through Various Realms" is an ancient magic he used before, which can allow the soul to leave the body and enter a terrifying dream to fight the enemy.

The dream is controlled by Xiao, and as long as he wants, he can summon even the most powerful enemy. This kind of practice directly increases the strength of the "mental image".

After the practice is over, the soul returns and the body changes accordingly.

Simply put, it is like an infinite training room in a dream, where you can train as much as you want because you won’t get tired.

"That's awesome, let's get started."

Upon hearing about such a convenient magic, Li Mochen immediately rolled up his sleeves excitedly, ready to show his skills.

"To perform this spell, you need some ritual props, including an incense burner, seven lamps, and something to cool you down."

But Xiao shook his head, obviously asking Li Mochen to find these props. After all, these things were too strange and most people would not carry them with them.

But Li Mochen is not an ordinary person.

"An incense burner, seven lamps, and something to cool you down... Wait, ha, got it!"

Under Xiao's surprised eyes, Li Mochen took out a bunch of ritual items from his sleeves like a magic trick.

"Hey, you actually put these things in the 'Exterior Scene in the Sleeve'?"

"It's just a coincidence. I don't know where I got it from before."

Ever since Grandma Ping expanded the capacity of his "Sleeve Scenery", Li Mochen has developed the habit of collecting items at random. His sleeves are now filled with all kinds of messy things, the quantity and variety are amazing.

Therefore, asking mortals to find ritual items is too common. Why should I, a half-immortal, find them temporarily? I can just take them out of my sleeves to look like an immortal. How cool!

Xiao originally planned to let him collect them and then gather them somewhere at night.

But since Li Mochen has already taken out everything, Xiao can only cast spells on the spot.

The incense burner is placed in the center, seven-star lamps are scattered around, and extremely cold objects are dotted in between.

After completing the preparations, Xiao asked Li Mochen to sit cross-legged in front of the incense burner.

Usually, using the "Sleepwalking Method" to guide other people's souls requires some tricks. But since Li Mochen is right in front of him, Xiao saves himself the trouble and starts chanting the spell directly.

"Brother Xiao, what will I encounter when I enter the dream?"

Seeing that Xiao was about to cast a spell, Li Mochen couldn't help but ask.

"For this, imagine the most difficult situation in your mind first."

At this moment, Xiao's tone became unexpectedly gentle, but there was no gentleness in what he said.

The most difficult practice I can think of?

Li Mochen frowned, thinking back to his childhood when he was taught strictly by his master and had to do horse stance for twenty hours every day.

"I imagined it, but none of that could defeat me, so what?"

“Then take your toughest situation and multiply it a hundred times, and that’s what you’re going to face.”

"What? Wait! Isn't this..."

Before Li Mochen asked, "Isn't this hell?" Xiao had already recited the magic spell.

"Diva Yaksha, the three corpses are pressing down, escape into the dreamland!"

Xiao's stern voice sounded, as was his usual style.

Li Mochen's eyes suddenly went dark, and he appeared in a vast sea of ​​clouds as if he was riding on a cloud.

This...where is this?

The surroundings are shrouded in clouds and mist, and there seems to be no end to the space in the distance, which has a fairyland-like feel.

Li Mochen stood alone in the center of the space, looking blankly at the empty scene around him.

"This is a dream world that I created based on my personal experiences. You must defeat the eight groups of demons that I have defeated before you can leave the dream."

At this moment, Xiao's voice suddenly came from above his head, and at the same time told Li Mochen who his target of cultivation was.

Demons, Li Mochen needs to fight against demons in this dream.

And it’s not an ordinary monster, it’s the ancient monster that Xiao once fought against!

"Do we have to fight? But this is just a dream, so it shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Indeed, souls in dreams do not die, and even if they are killed they can be restored immediately."

"That's great."

Hearing this, Li Mochen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Although you will not die, you will become crazy due to the extreme pain and killing, until you lose your humanity and turn into a killing machine."

However, Xiao's next words made Li Mochen fall into the abyss.
