It’s Not That the Sky Hasn’t Gone Dark — It’s That Dawn Has Already Broken

"Ahem, Master, your disciple hasn't forgotten... I remember."

Exiting the illusion realm, Zhong Yi looked like a child who had done something wrong, kneeling on the floor with his head bowed.

The lightning he had just seen in the team lobby wasn't Luna's electric arrow, but rather First Elder Zhao Wendao almost striking him with the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning...

As the chief disciple of the Lingxiao Sect, Zhong Yi would occasionally substitute for the elders to teach the sect's disciples, so it was no wonder Zhao Wendao came looking for him.

He pointed at the morning sun outside the window, trying to cover his tracks.

"Look, it's not even dark yet... Your disciple won't forget tomorrow's class!"

"What tomorrow? I think you've lost your mind..."

Zhao Wendao was so angry that his beard blew up several centimeters, and a bolt of divine lightning struck right on Zhong Yi's forehead.

"It's not that it isn't dark yet... it's that the sun has already risen!! Class starts in just two hours!!!"

"???"

Zhong Yi was dumbfounded.

He hadn't expected that he had been playing for so long, completely oblivious to the passage of time.

"Rebellious disciple! I see you've lost yourself to these playthings... Hmm?"

Zhao Wendao was just about to scold him some more when his brows suddenly relaxed.

"My good disciple, has your cultivation advanced again?"

Zhong Yi froze for a moment. After Zhao Wendao mentioned it, he finally realized that his cultivation really had improved a bit.

The bottleneck that had kept him stuck for so long actually showed faint signs of an impending breakthrough?

"How strange, your disciple was clearly in the illusion realm..."

Zhong Yi pinched his chin in confusion.

Because he hadn't felt anything yesterday, but after playing Xianyuan Continent Operation for a whole day, it had turned out like this.

"Wonderful, wonderful..."

Zhao Wendao stroked his beard and sighed emotionally.

Ever since the remnant spirit of the Heavenly Dao formed a bond with Lu Ze, the illusion realms had become increasingly profound.

Especially the ones made by Lu Ze.

In the very beginning, during the Minecraft era, cultivators could nourish their spiritual sense in the illusion realm, which was already of great benefit to their cultivation;

Later on, many cultivators, including Zhao Wendao himself, comprehended spells within the illusion realm, causing countless mighty cultivators to flood in;

And now, the benefits cultivators could obtain from the illusion realm were simply too numerous.

"Touch other people's illusion realms less, and interact with Lu Ze's illusion realms more."

Zhao Wendao patted Zhong Yi's shoulder, completely forgetting that he had just scolded him for losing himself to playthings.

"Alright, get ready. Prepare to head out immediately."

"Got it!"

Seeing that Zhao Wendao wasn't going to punish him, Zhong Yi was overjoyed.

For a cultivator of his realm, staying awake for one night had absolutely no effect. On the contrary, due to the stimulation from Xianyuan Continent Operation, his spirit was much better than usual.

"By the way, what is today's topic?"

"Secret Realm Experience."

...

...

Zhong Yi majored in Spirit Speech, his cultivation had already reached the Soul Formation Realm, and his knowledge was extremely extensive.

In terms of teaching, even the sect elders might not teach as well as him, unless it was within their respective specialized fields.

Therefore, whenever Zhong Yi gave a lecture, it was always packed.

But this time, Zhong Yi experienced a rare failure.

Because his mind was completely filled with Xianyuan Continent Operation, and he kept mixing things up.

"Senior Brother Zhong, if I find a treasure but don't have the ability to take it away, what should I do?"

"Find a container you've already opened, stuff it in, and whatever you do, don't let your opponents get it!"

"Senior Brother Zhong, what should I pay attention to when going to a secret realm for the first time?"

"Familiarize yourself with the map first, don't bring gear that's too good, and be careful of going bankrupt."

"Senior Brother Zhong, who do you think is the hardest opponent to deal with in a secret realm?"

"The sneaky rats who camp... They're too sinister!"

"Senior Brother Zhong, do you have any unforgettable experiences of failure?"

"Sigh! That was when I obtained the ultimate treasure of the secret realm and was about to leave. I never expected some damn bastard to set up an ambush at the entrance of the teleportation array! My millions of spirit stones were just gone... gone!!!"

"An ambush at the teleportation array? This... aren't they afraid of being ridiculed?"

"You must always be on guard against others. Junior brothers and sisters, remember... as long as you haven't returned to the sect, danger is everywhere!"

...

This series of answers that broke all common sense truly infuriated Zhao Wendao, who had hidden his identity to come listen to the lecture.

Fortunately, other than these strange questions and answers, Zhong Yi's other teaching was still quite proper, otherwise a severe beating would have been unavoidable.

Zhong Yi felt very wronged in his heart too.

He was a genius of his generation after all; how could ordinary secret realms have any difficult opponents or unforgettable failures?

In that moment, the only thing he could think of was Lu Ze's Xianyuan Continent Operation, and in a moment of hot-headedness, he answered like that...

The result was being punished by Zhao Wendao to the peak of Thunder God Peak, to reflect on his mistakes under a sky full of divine lightning.

Fortunately, Zhao Wendao didn't confiscate his Illusion Tower.

Zhong Yi sat cross-legged amidst the sky full of purple divine lightning. While circulating his cultivation technique, his spiritual sense sank into the illusion world.

"Lao Zhou... attack fiercely!"
