Standing on the mountain’s backside, gazing ahead at the picturesque mountains and waters of the real world, yet under the Seeking Truth perspective, it’s an utterly color-distorted, desolate land.
A very strange inverted environment.
It’s somewhat akin to the concept of dark universe traversing described in science fiction. When a spaceship travels in the cosmos, seeking to surpass the speed of light, it needs to fold a plane space, requiring passage through a wormhole and entry into the dark universe. The rules of this dark universe will break the limit of light speed, enabling the spaceship to reach countless light years away within an extreme timeframe.
In other words, the world after the Seeking Truth Realm is no longer just about exploring some useless things, but delving into deeper cosmic essence exploration.
What makes Lu Ren somewhat horrified is that, when he stays long in the Seeking Truth Realm, whispers that resemble auditory hallucinations start appearing beside his ears, growing louder the longer he remains.
Upon careful listening, numerous murmurs can be heard, as if countless people are chanting and bizarrely howling a song so strange it induces a splitting headache.
Quickly retreating from the Seeking Truth Realm, Lu Ren rubs his furrowed brows, spending a whole day slowly easing away the discomfort in his body.
No, he possesses no knowledge of the Seeking Truth Realm whatsoever; exploring is akin to seeking death.
Moreover, what gives Lu Ren chills is that sometimes, just standing still in the Seeking Truth Realm, he can suddenly feel waves of unease, goosebumps erupting uncontrollably all over his body.
This was a feeling Lu Ren had never experienced before, like something deeper passing by him, inadvertently touching him, only detectable due to his extremely profound expertise and high mental sensitivity that he could sense the anomaly.
Previous knowledge is completely useless in the Seeking Truth Realm, and his accumulated True Power does not provide adequate insurance in this realm.
The Ten Earth True Qi potentially needs further concentration and refinement to elevate the energy level to a higher tier, only then might participation in exploration be warranted.
Stabilizing his emotions, Lu Ren sits cross-legged, focusing inwardly with his Spirit, calming the chaotic emotions, cooking some simple meals as a regular person would, eating, then lying back on the deck chair, sinking his Spirit, entering the Inner Realm again.
Upon reaching the Seeking Truth Realm, entering the Inner Realm instantly felt different to Lu Ren.
In the Inner Realm’s sky, a path whose destination was unknown had already transformed into a broad, dual-lane highway akin to modern society’s roads on Earth.
Moreover, the aura the Inner Realm imparted was equally eerie.
Through the Heart Eye Perspective of Seeking Truth, this seemed not at all like the so-called picturesque landscape, but a dimly grey land, with exceedingly parched, cracked earth beneath his feet.
"Seems like you have discovered it."
Not far away, Chang Xin’s calm voice drifted over, obviously aware of what Lu Ren had seen, or perhaps, in her eyes, Lu Ren was now viewing the normal world.
Lu Ren did not immediately respond to Chang Xin’s words; he carefully observed the Inner Realm for a long time before slowly calming the tremor in his heart.
The Seeking Truth Realm was a revolutionary change for Lu Ren, virtually resetting his entire worldview.
Upon returning from Mani Temple earlier, he was only focused on studying the Future Buddha True Scripture’s Hundred Forms and stabilizing the burgeoning power, completely unable to conduct a precise study of the Inner Realm.
Even when stepping into the Seeking Truth Realm at that moment, despite the elevated perspective, there was a formidable foe ahead, Lu Ren was cautious not to overextend.
Only upon returning to the cabin did he begin to focus on exploring the worldview from the Heart Eye Perspective of Seeking Truth.
Glancing afar at Subodhi and others nearly shrouded in thick, peculiar algal organisms emanating greenish hair, possessing quite eerie ocular traits that emitted a ghostly green glow.
Yet Chang Xin and Red Dragon Ao Li remained unchanged, seemingly untouched by the pollution of the Seeking Truth Realm.
Lu Ren forcibly suppressed the urge to look at them, his gaze fixed on Chang Xin.
He finally unlocked the Void Chains binding Chang Xin, releasing her.
Chang Xin coldly flexed her wrists, her gaze towards Lu Ren exceedingly aloof, if the system had a hint for affection levels, Lu Ren could ensure Chang Xin’s affection for him would hit negative two hundred.
"Ding, system kindly reminds, Chang Xin currently has an affection level of -189 towards the host."
Chang Xin spoke, "I know what you wish to inquire about; exploring the Seeking Truth Realm alone without prior experiences equates to seeking death. Perhaps merely taking one step, or standing still might lead to inexplicable death, or due to some all-encompassing weird reason, vanish from reality, completely becoming a creature in the Seeking Truth Realm."
Lu Ren couldn’t help but ask, "What on earth is this Seeking Truth Realm?"
Chang Xin did not respond to Lu Ren, instead drilling her gaze into him, "If you give me Guo Muyang’s body, I’ll tell you in detail."
Lu Ren’s expression instantly turned cold, then the Void Chains silently restrained Chang Xin’s hands and feet again, stretching her in a starfish shape.
Exiting the Seeking Truth perspective, gazing at the lively Inner Realm, Lu Ren’s brows relaxed, ignoring Chang Xin’s malicious glare, he stepped forward to reach out his hand.
After delivering more than ten consecutive slaps, Chang Xin displayed disbelief, questioning her existence, refusing to accept, finally fuming with enraged despair, appearing intent on mutual destruction with Lu Ren.
Lu Ren calmly stated, "Though I do not overly regard Guo Muyang, she nonetheless pledged herself to me as a student, learning my imparted True Skill. To insult her is to insult me."
"I will kill you, I will kill you!!!!"
Suddenly Chang Xin screamed wildly, reverberations buzzing around, its Primordial Spirit cracking with threads of bluish light.
Beside, even Chen Xuzi couldn’t contain his screams, surprisingly emitting such a shrill and fearful sound, despite his seemingly immortal aura and persona.
"She aims to self-destruct her Primordial Spirit, she intends to self-destruct her Primordial Spirit!!! Stop her, quick!"
And as Chang Xin intended on dismantling her Primordial Spirit, to perish together with Lu Ren, the surrounding space began squeezing forcefully, coercing the streaks of bluish light back into her body, then continuously compressing, condensing, rendering Chang Xin utterly immobile.
Such violent spectacle even caught the interest of Ao Li, who typically remained unmoved, lifting his dragon head with amusement, resembling a classic bystander curious to witness the drama.
In the end, Chang Xin once possessed the Human Immortal Path Fruit, entirely transcending the realm of mortals, qualifying to be called a True Immortal, a self-destructing Primordial Spirit might truly shatter this eerie Inner Realm beyond recognition.
