Chapter 66 of "Exploring Immortality Cultivation" opens showing suspense: Had he unwittingly entered the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm with his consciousness? That didn't... Continue the adventure!

Had he unwittingly entered the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm with his consciousness? That didn't seem right! Surely, Su Junyu wouldn't engage in consciousness uploading without protecting his physical body! Wang Qi closed his eyes and focused carefully. Generally, the effect of an illusion technique diminishes when the recipient calms their mind and concentrates, making this method the best way to test if one is under the influence of an illusion. Soon, Wang Qi confirmed that he was still in reality. Others noticed Wang Qi's unusual behavior and looked over. Mao Zimiao asked, "Xiao Qi, what's wrong with you?" Wang Qi shook his head. "I'm just curious about the principle behind these light screens. Although ordinary water curtains and light and shadow techniques have similar effects, those generated by spells don't allow for information exchange with cultivators like these here." Su Junyu explained, "Oh, that? It's just an illusion technique." "The most advanced illusion techniques allow the recipient to interact with the spell itself, but what's the purpose here?" Wu Shiqin, who usually kept quiet, rarely asked a question. Su Junyu explained, "The highest level of illusion techniques can create illusory realms based on the recipient's memories and mental state, or they can be constructed by the caster. This interaction occurs between the spell itself, the caster, and the recipient. These light screens are controlled by the Ten Thousand Immortals True Mirror and are part of the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm. The illusion is hosted by the Immortal Artifact Level Ten Thousand Immortals True Mirror, and connecting the consciousness of any number of cultivators is no problem. Cultivators who come here just need to operate the Law Gate and open their souls to the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm to use the devices in this illusion. Like this light screen, it's one way the Immortal Alliance posts various tasks." As he spoke, Su Junyu pointed upwards. "Here, above, there's a large Zijing of the Ten Thousand Immortals True Mirror, one of nine major branches has one. Inside this building, many things can be accomplished with just a thought." Holy shit, it's "enhanced reality" technology! On Earth, enhanced reality technology was still at the preliminary stage with devices like Google Glass. Wang Qi had not even considered this aspect. Unexpectedly, Shenzhou had developed such advanced enhanced reality technology even without having developed something like a "personal computer." This realization made Wang Qi recognize once again that although the developmental paths of the two worlds seemed similar on the surface, their foundations were indeed different. Seeing Wang Qi lost in thought, Su Junyu said, "I believe your reading list included 'Soul Theory of Calculator'. If you're interested, you could delve into this field. Elder Ji Turing and sages like Feng Luoyi are masters in this area." After finishing his introduction, Su Junyu walked up to the light screen, placing a hand on it. The text on the light screen rapidly refreshed... er, changed. Then, Su Junyu made several motions with his other hand, pulling dozens of light groups from the screen. He tossed most of them to Wang Qi and the others, keeping only one in his hand. "Those are tasks that can be undertaken during the trials. Think them over." Wang Qi swiftly gathered all of them, "No need to look, all of them." Su Junyu shook his head, "Give them to me." He then took the light groups back from Wang Qi, pressed several back into the screen, and then drew a few from it. "If you're in a hurry, I personally recommend this combination, no merit deductions for task failure." Wu Shiqin curiously took one light group, sensed the information within, and her expression immediately turned sour, "This is, a trial?" Su Junyu nodded, "Correct, a trial of exploratory nature." The content of the light group Wu Shiqin held read, "Record the traces of the Thundering Horned Deer Group in the trial area." Wu Shiqin shook her head, "I'm out." Su Junyu shook his head in refusal, "Too late." Wu Shiqin nodded, "This is not what I enjoy." Su Junyu's expression grew stern, "Do you, wish to seek Dao? Do you want to seek Dao?" "Of course." Su Junyu stared at Wu Shiqin, slowly asking, "What if one day, you find the Dao you seek is not something you enjoy, what would you do then?" Wu Shiqin frowned. This type of heart inquiry was not uncommon in the Immortal Dao. Such questions, if superficially answered, are not difficult. However, they always involve aspects of 'morale'. When seniors pose these questions to juniors, it often carries a hint of advice. Su Junyu continued, "You know the joy of seeking Dao, but do you understand the joy in it? There are many seniors who ultimately find their sought Dao is not what they had hoped for." "The founder of Mysterious Palace, Planck, was originally a disciple of Guiyi Alliance. To perfect the 'All Laws Return to One' and the supreme divine skill 'Heavenly Song' passed down by Mai Siwei, and to resolve the 'confusion of Yin-eye radiation' posed by the Fentian Marquis Kelvin, he pondered deeply, and finally summarized his enlightenment into a Heavenly Transformation. However, this Heavenly Transformation could not be integrated into the 'Heavenly Song' system for a long time. Elder Planck eventually left the Guiyi Alliance and founded the Mysterious Palace. But the Dao of Mysterious Uncertainty was not what Planck enjoyed." "If this happened to you, how would you feel?" "The Dao is not what I enjoy, what would you think?" Each of Su Junyu's words hit Wu Shiqin hard. The brash Law Enforcer furrowed her brows, "In Senior Brother's view, how should I respond?" "I don't know. This is your 'morale', and while I can guide, you must understand it yourself." Su Junyu shook his head, "But I have a suggestion." "What is it?" "Keep up." Su Junyu gestured for the other three to move toward the center of the hall. As they walked, he said to Wu Shiqin, "Tasks of exploratory nature derive from the most arduous part of the path of seeking Dao. Modern cultivation fundamentally comes back to seeking Dao. If you cannot endure this trial, then don't cultivate." With that, he walked towards the counter. Mao Zimiao whispered to Wang Qi, "Last time I saw him, I really didn't realize Senior Brother Su was this kind of person, meow! He truly has the demeanor of a senior cultivator!" I see him every day and I never realized he was this kind of person either! Wang Qi thought, bitterly mocking. He gained a collection, then maxed out his talkative skills, and that too towards a girl... Senior Brother Su, forever alone!
