This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered
Chapter 723 - 606: Shadow Realm_2
Ke Mengzhan looked confused after seeing the change in the servant, which slightly differed from what he had expected.
Previously, Ke Mengzhan saw Wan Tinggui leading everyone directly to Riyin Tower and naturally assumed this was a place intended to catch the eye of Shadows, but it turned out that everyone from the shopkeeper to the servant seemed to be ordinary people of the Human Race with mediocre cultivation.
He even used the miraculous Dream Scripture along with his own Sword Intent to discreetly enter the Divine Soul of the servant and set up a dream, discovering that they had no connection with the Shadows.
"This is one of the mysteries of the Shadow Mysterious Dao Chapter, allowing Cultivators to hide most of their cultivation."
Wan Tinggui explained while unfolding the Array Plate.
"What about their own consciousness? Even if they can hide their cultivation, can they also hide their consciousness in the dream?"
Ke Mengzhan wondered, as it was the first time the Dream Scripture had failed him; previously, it had always been infallible.
"The simplest consciousness hypnotism, sealing off their own consciousness and fabricating a new subconsciousness."
Liang Yi kindly reminded on the side.
Although the Dream Scripture is very adept at obtaining some information from a Cultivator's subconscious, it is easily misled when facing direct fabrication of subconscious.
When the servant heard a certain phrase from Wan Tinggui, a momentary confusion appeared in his eyes, which vanished as quickly as it appeared, reverting to normal, but Liang Yi still caught it.
"That phrase that serves as the key must be the dishes Miss Wan ordered."
Su Youyi deduced and found the most likely key to be that phrase.
"Yes, you guessed it right."
Wan Tinggui continued without pause, took over the Array Plate and placed it in a spacious area inside the room, then pressed the Jade Talisman he had taken out into it.
"All the people in Riyin Tower are members of the Shadows and have used special Secret Techniques to forge their consciousness and seal their cultivation, creating flawlessly new identities."
"Is their Heavenly Mechanism also concealed by some great power?"
Pang Qingshi hadn't paid attention to these people before, but now, taking a closer look, he also noticed the odd aspects of their Heavenly Mechanism.
"Of course, although the concealment in the Heavenly Mechanism is not as strong as that of the Senluo Wanxiang Sect, it's enough to fool ordinary Cultivators."
Wan Tinggui stated as a matter of fact.
"I've learned something."
Ke Mengzhan smiled, considering this an enlightenment.
Previously, he had never encountered any failure while using Sword Intent as a carrier to deploy the Dream Scripture, even managing to extract information from the subconscious of some Cultivators without their awareness, but he encountered this situation as soon as he came to the Abyss.
"Let's leave here now and head to the Shadow Realm; also, let's refrain from moving around in Redfeather City for the next few days."
Wan Tinggui clapped his hands after packing up, poured Spiritual Power into the Array Plate unfolded at his feet, and the intricate and orderly Array patterns started to unfold centered around the Array Plate, eventually sprawling across the entire room, encompassing Liang Yi and others within it.
"Keep a close eye on Ren Zhen and those guys, they might send people to monitor our movements, don't blow our cover."
"Yes, Saintess!"
Wan Tinggui gave one last instruction to the servant before fully activating the Great Formation, and the familiar pulling force of the Array's transportation emerged from below.
Leading the way, Wan Tinggui slowly vanished before everyone's eyes as if diving into water.
Liang Yi, sensing this force, did not resist and let it drag him into the Array.
The others disappeared in succession, leaving only Uncle Ju grumbling unsatisfied in the room:
"Where's my meal? Isn't this fooling me!"
The pulling force that enveloped his whole body arrived quickly and left just as swift, from which Liang Yi deduced that they hadn't been transported far, possibly not even beyond the boundaries of Redfeather City.
"It's so dark…"
Liang Yi opened his eyes only to feel as though he hadn't; a mysterious power in the Void veiled his vision.
This power was not unfamiliar to Liang Yi—it was the Law!
Realizing this, Liang Yi channeled Sword Intent into his eyes, imbuing his gaze with the Power of Disruption, no longer obstructed by this mysterious law.
Others, except for Wan Tinggui, also employed their methods and were not rendered helpless by this mysterious Law.
After regaining his sight, Liang Yi looked around and discovered that they were in a small Secret Realm enveloped by Laws, and before them stood several tall and majestic mountains!
The mountains stood in a triangular formation, guarding each other, and also formed a corner of an Array; several mountains together made up a formidable Sect Protection Array!
Between the mountains, divine lights shuttled back and forth, among them were individuals with formidable auras!
Liang Yi realized that although the auras of these individuals differed, they shared one commonality: they were all practitioners of the Shadow Mysterious Dao Chapter!
Which meant these individuals were all members of the Shadows, and this place was naturally the territory of the Shadows!
"This Secret Realm is actually integrated with the Law?"
He Zhiqing showed great interest in the intense power of the surrounding Law and after capturing a trace expressed his surprise.
"A Law integrated with the Secret Realm?"
Upon hearing this, the others grew curious and began investigating around.
One should know that a small Secret Realm does not generate Laws because a Secret Realm isn't even considered a world. However, be it the Secret Realm or Law, both are dependent on a complete major world, and in terms of relationships, there is virtually no difference between them.
