Chapter 363: Chapter 362: One Sect, One World

One door, one realm.

Compared to the Death Sea Domain and Skeleton Islands outside of this pillar, the inside of this pillar is not Hell, but rather Heaven!

Yes, Heaven!

The thunderclouds above have disappeared, and the colorful lightning is also nowhere to be found.

Even the air has become fresh and invigorating.

Blue sky, white clouds, seabirds, and the long-unseen sun!

This place, is surprisingly picturesque!

"This is..."

For the people of Death Island, who have never seen a blue sky or white clouds, or heard birds sing amongst fragrant flowers, everything before them is a beautiful view, a miracle. Even Lan Xinxin was intoxicated by the endless beautiful scenery and the fresh air.

Only Lin Hao and a few others remained unmoved by the beautiful scenery, their brows furrowed as if facing a great enemy.

This isn’t normal, it’s too abnormal.

Outside the pillar is a cold, terrifying Hell, and merely separated by a pillar, it becomes Heaven?

Anyone should understand that such beautiful scenery shouldn’t appear in this sunless sea domain.

Lin Hao knew, according to the information provided by Long Si, the entire Resurrection Island domain seemed engulfed by a gigantic typhoon zone, quiet and peaceful only at Resurrection Island which is the eye of the storm, while the rest are enveloped by stormy thunderclouds.

Places like this shouldn’t have sunny, beautiful scenery.

Unless, this place is Resurrection Island!

But, Lin Hao knew this couldn’t be Resurrection Island.

Beneath the bright sky, one rocky island after another, lush with vegetation and water, sprouted like spring bamboo shoots across the sea area.

On each island, there stood a magnificent ancient building.

Some of these buildings were imposing and majestic, giving one a sense of historical depth.

The ancient ship sailed slowly among these islands like in a museum of ancient architecture, allowing passengers to observe the unique buildings around.

"How strange, this isn’t scientifically possible, these buildings have Earth’s style, but are unique in their own right, and they also look very ancient. Most unscientific of all, how could there be so many well-preserved buildings here?" Louis Diobus, coming from a distinguished family, was well-versed in world architectural styles.

At this moment, while he was mesmerized and shocked by the ancient architectures around, he also felt a profound fear deep inside.

"Is this place Heaven?"

"Is that the Sun?"

"Blue sky, white clouds, and little birds..."

Lan Xinxin stood beside Lin Hao, finally recovering from her shock, seeing for the first time this scene only passed down orally or recorded in ancient books by people of Death Island from generation to generation, her eyes nearly brimming with tears.

Like a maiden embracing the beauty of nature for the first time, Lan Xinxin spread her arms wide, even wanting to run freely across these islands.

"Come back!"

Lin Hao’s expression grew even more severe, watching Lan Xinxin’s enchanted demeanor, he became stern, grabbed her hand abruptly, pulled her beside him, and said harshly.

Lan Xinxin shuddered, seemingly just remembering that this place was an old lair of the Half Mermaid tribe!

"Could it be an Illusion Technique?" Lan Xinxin looked around incredulously, rubbing her eyes vehemently, then took out a brown mineral and sniffed it vigorously by her nose.

"It’s not an Illusion Technique. The Illusion Technique of the Half Mermaid tribe triggers the deep desires in people’s hearts, making them see dreams-like things that exist only in the brain. But this isn’t it. So many of us are seeing the exact same scenery, and you have never seen the sun, blue sky, white clouds, nor have we ever seen buildings in such a style."

Lin Hao pondered.

This isn’t an Illusion Technique, but if it’s not, then all of this doesn’t make sense.

"One..."

"Two..."

Suddenly, a faint voice echoed as if reverberating through this space.

Lin Hao shuddered, immediately searching for the source of the sound.

"Three..."

But the origin of that voice was elusive, seeming to be everywhere yet nowhere at all.

"Four..."

That voice, as if counting something, was crisp and sweet. Without even seeing the person, one already knew it must be an exceptionally beautiful woman with a sexy and enchanting voice.

"Five..."

No, no!

Lin Hao looked around. Song Qinghong, Lan Xinxin, Lan Tianhao—none showed any signs of irregularity. Everyone was observing the surrounding scenery, searching for any potential Half Mermaids.

"Did you not hear that?" Lin Hao finally couldn’t help but ask.

"What?"

Everyone looked at Lin Hao in surprise, not understanding...

"Didn’t you hear someone counting?" In fact, Lin Hao didn’t need to ask anymore.

The reaction of the others already confirmed that no one else heard the counting voice in the void.

That was where the real problem lay.

With Lin Hao’s current abilities, he couldn’t tell if this was an Illusion Technique or not, and in this void, even Lin Hao didn’t know where the voice was coming from.

This Half Mermaid lair, indeed, was a dragon’s den and tiger’s cave.

But how to break it?

Lin Hao’s brows furrowed tightly.

"One hundred and one..."

In the void, the counting continued, the numbers increasing, Lin Hao’s heart growing more tense.

The voice in the void wasn’t counting for no reason, each number must represent something.

As the Ancient Ship delved deeper, everyone was surrounded by many beautifully scenic isles.

"No, these isles, could they be some sort of formation?"

Suddenly, Lin Hao’s eyes lit up as if he had discovered something.

"A formation? Could it be that what we see is not merely a simple illusion?" Lan Tianhao and Song Qinghong, both highly cultivated, were shocked, their faces showing fright.

"Possibly."

In the void, the counting still continued, and gradually, Lin Hao discerned a hint of divinity in the voice.

But now, Lin Hao was certain that the source of this voice was the creator of all that lay before them.

"What should we do?"

By now, everyone knew they had fallen into a trap set by the Half Mermaid clan. Facing all this, each one felt a sense of helplessness rising within.

Everyone looked to Lin Hao, their backs drenched in sweat from fear.

What to do?

Lin Hao himself didn’t know.

In his two lifetimes, the previous one even as the Immortal Emperor in the Eternal Life Realm.

But he had never encountered a situation like this before.

In the vast world, there’s nothing too bizarre, just things unimaginable, and nothing nonexistent.

But Lin Hao understood one truth throughout his two lifetimes.

All the great paths in the world, though thousands, all lead back to the same origin, originating from the same source.

No one can stay safe and sound hiding behind illusions.

"Hmph..."

Without answering, Lin Hao grunted softly, stepping back half a step as his Primordial Qi suddenly surged, a flash of light on his Void Ring as massive amounts of Primordial Stone were quickly refined.

A powerful force gathered between Lin Hao’s hands, numerous blue sparks starting to appear around Lin Hao’s body.

"One force destroys all methods!"

"There’s nothing that a violent strike can’t solve."

"If there is, then double hit!"
