C1321 Three Poisons Cut by the Sword of Intelligence(part I)

"This is the Sesame Rice Ball that you loved to eat since you were young. Eat more." Liu Ziyun raised her hand and scooped a pill for Lin Bai. She looked at him with a smile and said warmly, "In the past, when you came back for the new year, the first thing you did was to urge me to make this thing."

The fragrance of meat permeated the air. The smell of the green onions assaulted the nostrils and the gravy flowed out along with the hot air of the meatballs. The smell made one salivate. Looking at the meat ball in the bowl in front of him, Lin Bai could not help but pick up his chopsticks.

How could all of this be so real? It did not seem like it was an illusion formed by a single thought?

"Why aren't you eating? Have your tastes changed now and you don't like to eat these greasy things? " Seeing that Lin Bai did not move for a long time, a lost expression was involuntarily revealed on Liu Mianyun's face. She looked at Lin Bai and slowly said.

It seemed illusory, yet not real. Shaking his head, he picked up the chopsticks and picked up the meat ball with his chopsticks before gently taking a bite. As the meat juice splattered in all directions, it was smooth and crispy.

In Lin Bai's mind, he was already within this illusion. Since he was temporarily unable to escape, rather than thinking so bitterly, he might as well follow his heart and do as he pleased. Moreover, he really wanted to know what his family's attitude would be if he told them about the immortal gate. Would they agree with his actions?

"This is how you eat when you're young. After so many years, I don't know how to change my appearance." Seeing Lin Bai wolfing down the food, the disappointment on Liu Xianyun's face disappeared. Although she was still complaining about Lin Bai, her eyes showed more kindness. After a moment, she sighed softly and said, "If you like it, then eat more. In a few years, when I'm old, I won't be able to make it for you to eat."

As she spoke, a dejected look quietly appeared on Liu Wenyun's face. Even Lin Bai himself felt a little sad. Time is easy to make people grow old, he grew up day by day, but with the passage of time, wrinkles also climbed up on Liu's face. Even in the modern world, there were only a few old people who were able to live up to their age.

Looking at Liu Wenyun's expression, Lin Bai only felt the meat balls in his mouth as if they were chewing on wax. As for the pieces of meat that he had swallowed, they stuck in his throat, causing him to feel an inexplicable pain.

Perhaps things were not as simple as he thought. Perhaps in the hearts of his family members, they did not want to be forever in the mortal world. They wanted to share longevity with him and live a carefree life.

Perhaps what she had thought before was truly wrong. Perhaps longevity was not so frightening, or perhaps she really could do it.

Since he had concealed the news about his longevity from them, he didn't tell them; instead, he wanted to test it out in this illusion to see what kind of reaction his family would have if he had hidden it from them and used the River Turtle to help the True Master in opening the Immortal Path, and whether or not they would be pleased with the fact that he had managed to bring them a sliver of longevity.

The moment Lin Bai's thoughts emerged, all the scenes were inadvertently dispersed. Lin Bai, who was originally sitting at the dinner table with his family, felt slightly dizzy before he arrived at a mountain range shrouded in clouds and mist. Amidst the clouds, there was even a green tree, sitting upright and with a blurry face of an old man.

It was like an emerald tree rooted in the void. Other than building trees, what else could it be? The old man with the blurry face and hand seals, other than a true master, who else could it be?

"You finally came. You finally made this decision." After seeing Lin Bai, the True Master within the illusion techniques slowly stopped his hand seals. He glanced at Lin Bai and praised him, "A junior should be like this! As long as I can find a chance of survival, I don't need to care about the life and death of outsiders, I don't need to care about the existence of those ants. "

Lin Bai did not reply. He sat cross-legged next to the True Master and slowly formed seals with his hands. He began to activate the River Diagram book and circulated the Heaven and Earth Essence to continuously send vitality to the World Tree to accelerate its growth.

After a few short breaths, the World Tree started growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. The branches rose into the clouds, and as the smoke lingered, it was impossible to see where the World Tree's peak was connected to.

"Not enough! It is true that the tree is growing very fast, but it is still far from being enough! " Looking at the climbing tree, the True Master in the illusion had a crazed look on his face. He glanced at Lin Bai gloomily and said in a low voice, "If I want to make the tree grow faster, I need to give it more life. "Why don't you and I join hands and take back the lives around us?!"

The corner of Lin Bai's eyes twitched when he heard this. After looking at the True Master, he muttered to himself for a moment and slowly changed the hand seal. His Dharma Idol suddenly appeared in the sky above his head and as Lin Bai willed it, his Dharma Idol's eyes began to change to a strange blood-red color.

The True Master in the illusion saw this and laughed out loud. Following Lin Bai's actions, he suddenly formed hand seals, and a strange mana fluctuation began to emanate from his body. After these two waves connected together, they quickly spread in all directions. In a few short breaths, they completely covered the villages around the mountain range.

"Consume the blood qi!" Sensing the vigorous life force that came from within the range of the Fa Li fluctuation, Lin Bai's eyes revealed a vicious look as his hands formed a seal. Following his movements, the strange aura released by his Dharma Idol was like many sharp arrows that shot toward all the living creatures in the villages and towns.

The combined power of two Soul Formation experts who were almost at the peak of the Spirit Transformation level was truly terrifying. The evil and strange technique only touched the creatures in the illusion. They didn't even have time to react before the creatures' bodies shriveled up at a speed visible to the naked eye. A huge amount of blood energy and life force followed the ripples and slowly gathered towards the tree.

The wailing and howling could be heard incessantly as miserable screams filled the air. As he gazed upon the bodies that had been devoured by the blood and life force, slowly transforming into dust in the wind, and heard the howls of terror, Lin Bai's heart had at first been trembling inexplicably, as if countless swords were stirring. However, as time passed, his gaze grew colder and colder, and his expression more and more numb.

As time passed, he had almost forgotten that he was in an illusion formed from his infatuation. In addition, there was only one thought left in his mind, that he would not hesitate to sacrifice anything in order to seek longevity.

The blood-red light became the only color in the world, and the wailing sound waves became the only sound in the world. As this enormous blood aura danced, a faint bloody glow slowly rose around Lin Bai's body. His eyes were extremely cold.

At this point in time, even Zhang Sancho and Chen Baian might not be able to tell that the person in front of them was Lin Bai.

"Bastard brat, what are you doing? How many more mistakes are there and how many more people are going to die?" Just as death spread out like an endless storm, and fear swept out like a storm, Old Master Liu's reprimand suddenly rang out beside Lin Bai's ears.

"Son, don't do it, we don't want longevity, we also don't want you to be like this." Soon after, Liu Wenyun's slightly tearful voice also slowly rang in his ears, sounding out word by word, with unspeakable pity and disappointment in her voice.

"Lin Bai, stop." Not just them, even the silhouettes of He Jia Er, Xia Xiaoqing, and a few others started to appear in the sky. Their gazes were filled with disappointment and sympathy as they said with a trembling voice, "Withdraw, don't continue."

This sudden turn of events caused an indescribable anger to emerge within Lin Bai's heart, an incomprehensible rage. The current him had already completely forgotten his original intention and the fact that he was in an illusion.

The only emotion left in his heart was anger. He did not understand why this was happening! His hands were covered in blood. He had gone against his own heart and done such a bloody and cruel thing. All of this was to let these family members live a long life with him, for all eternity! But in the end, why did he get scolded by them?

"Stop!" Just as Lin Bai's head felt like it was about to explode, the voices of those family members slowly swirled in his ears. "If you stop right now, we can still forgive you, or else …"

Forgive? Why do I have to be forgiven by all of you? Everything I did, wasn't it all for you?! Upon hearing these words, Lin Bai felt as though his head was about to explode. His eyes were completely filled with a blood-red light.

"A group of foolish people. You gave so much for them, yet they turned a blind eye? Ridiculous, laughable kindness, laughable conscience! " At the same time, along the True Master's blurry face, floated a mocking sentence.

Rage welled up within him, and Lin Bai felt as though his entire body was about to be torn apart by the rage. Countless clamorous sounds continuously rang in his ears. The two rose and fell like a tide, completely engulfing Lin Bai.

In reality, the telepathic thoughts in the illusions did not feel any pain at all. However, at this very moment, Lin Bai's situation was extremely strange. A heart-wrenching pain arose from every part of his body. Like densely packed ants, it continuously crawled and invaded his mind.

Especially when he looked at the shadows of his family, as well as their puzzled expressions, Lin Bai felt that he was like a small boat within a ten thousand mile river, alone and helpless, undulating along with the river. And every time the river rolled, the pain he felt would only worsen, making him feel as if there was a restless beast locked up in his body.

The decision he had made was clearly for them, but why didn't they understand, and even question him instead? What was all this, what was it that he had done, was it right or wrong?!
