In the unknown environment, Lu Ye pressed his knife to be alert, but soon relaxed because there was no danger around him.
Different from the situation encountered before when entering the mirage realm, there was no fog rolling around, and no monsters suddenly appeared. The location he was in was a room.
The doors and windows were closed, and the furnishings in the house were very simple, with only a table and a few chairs.
There is a teapot and several tea cups on the table.
Lu Ye stepped forward and looked at the table. He found that the table was covered with a thick layer of dust. It had obviously been unoccupied for a long time.
This is like a reception area, with stairs leading upstairs.
Lu Ye looked at the stairs, but did not go up immediately, showing a thoughtful look.
He was very curious about what kind of place this was.
When I entered the mirage realm to experience before, the environment was very simple. It was in an open area, with fog billowing around, and enemies rushing out from time to time.
But after the two breath fruit cores fused and he opened the new second door, he actually appeared in such a strange place.
What makes him even more strange is his current state.
In fact, he had noticed it when he first came in. Some very strange changes had taken place in him, but he just didn't have time to investigate. Now that he was sure that there was no danger for the time being, he began to check his own condition.
After silently sensing it for a moment, Lu Ye raised his eyebrows.
Things seem... not simple.
He found that his strength had skyrocketed a lot out of thin air!
Originally, his cultivation level was at the level of Yunhe's fifth level, but now the power contained in his body was beyond that of Yunhe's fifth level. It was probably more powerful than those at Yunhe's ninth level that he had encountered before.
In other words, he is now most likely equivalent to a True Lake Realm monk!
As for the level of the True Lake Realm... Lu Ye really doesn't know. He has never come into contact with a few True Lake Realm monks. Without a standard for comparison, it is really difficult to judge his current strength.
When he crossed the gate, Lu Ye suddenly felt that he had become stronger. Now it seems that it was not an illusion, he had indeed become stronger.
But why is this happening? Can this environment improve one's own strength for nothing? This is obviously unreasonable.
What makes Lu Ye even more puzzled is that the power flowing in his body is not only spiritual power, but also another kind of power that feels strange, but also gives people a strange sense of familiarity.
This is... the power of the soul?
When Lu Ye understood the nature of this power, he couldn't help but frown.
What's going on? I'm at the fifth level of Yunhe Realm... Even if I'm at the True Lake Realm now, I shouldn't feel the power of the soul.
The power of the divine soul is possessed by every monk from birth. As the strength of the monks increases, the power of the divine soul will be improved accordingly. However, before the Divine Sea realm, the monks only had the power of the divine soul and could rely on the power of their own divine soul.
Passively resisting some attacks against the soul, there is no way to actively feel it.
This is equivalent to a treasure hidden in a monk's body. A monk who is not strong enough cannot open this treasure.
Only when one's cultivation reaches the realm of the divine sea and the divine mind is born, can one actively perceive the existence of the power of one's own divine soul and then use the power of the divine soul.
Just like Lu Ye, although he can sense many potential dangers due to the powerful power of his soul, this kind of perception is strictly a passive ability, and it pales in comparison to the active use of his divine will.
The battles between the masters of the Divine Sea Realm often involve the confrontation of spiritual thoughts. Sometimes they may seem calm on the surface, but in fact they are extremely dangerous.
Lu Ye can now truly feel the power of the divine soul flowing in his body. It is precisely because of the existence of the power of the divine soul that his strength has been greatly improved.
The power of his soul is far beyond that of monks in the same realm, and has reached the standard of a True Lake Realm monk.
Is this the reason why his strength has skyrocketed?
Lu Ye slowly came to his senses. In this way, he is now... equivalent to a spirit body? Just like Yiyi.
Isn't this an out-of-body experience?
But it is different from the normal soul leaving the body. When the soul leaves the body, the only power the monk can use is the power of the soul, and there is no way to activate spiritual power.
But now he is in a state where spiritual power and divine soul power coexist, which seems very strange.
He suddenly remembered that when he entered here, he had a feeling of breaking free from the constraints.
Now it seems that the bondage to break free comes from my own body.
The cultivation level of his soul is much higher than that of his physical body, so after his soul leaves the body, he will have a feeling of breaking free from the constraints, and then become stronger.
This mirage realm is completely different from the mirage realms I entered before.
In the past, the mirage was only equivalent to a projection. Whatever state Lu Ye was in in reality was the state of the projection, including the things Lu Ye carried with him, as well as storage bags and everything in the storage space.
Projected into a mirage.
The current mirage is not just a projection, it is also drawing my entire soul here based on the projection.
Lu Ye suddenly felt bad!
In the mirage realm, his biggest advantage is that he is not afraid of death, because even if he dies, he will not lose much. At first, when his soul power was not strong enough, death would be painful for a long time, but since he has received a lot of soul-cleansing water to cleanse his soul,
After allowing the power of the soul to grow, dying in the mirage was nothing to him. It was nothing more than the feeling of being pricked in the head by a needle, and it passed after he endured it.
But if he was in a state similar to an out-of-body experience, Lu Ye couldn't tell what would happen to him once he died.
Die suddenly on the spot? Or suffer severe damage to the soul?
It seems that I have to be careful next time, and I must not die here easily, otherwise no one knows what bad consequences there will be.
As for how to leave this place... Lu Ye has no clue yet and can only explore slowly.
Checking myself again, I saw that the Panshan Sword and Weapon Box were on my waist. The storage bag and the storage space on the back of my hand could also be stored and stored freely.
As he thought before, the person who came in this time was in an out-of-body state based on projection, so everything around him could be accessed at any time.
In this state, the only advantage I have is that my strength has increased a lot.
I didn't rush to open the door and leave. I didn't know the environment I was in. At least, this room was safe.
In the past, when entering the mirage, he only had to stand there and a steady stream of monsters would rush out of the fog for him to hone his swordsmanship and fighting skills. Although it was monotonous and boring, it was also simple and clear.
The situation this time is much more complicated, so we need to collect as many clues as possible to determine our current location and the dangers we may encounter.
Stepping towards the stairs on the side, stepping on the stairs, the wooden floorboards made a creaking sound, which was extremely harsh in this silent environment.
Lu Ye couldn't help but have some doubts.
Is this a mirage? He has always felt that the mirage is an illusion, and everything he sees in the mirage is fake, so even if he dies in it, the loss will not be great.
But in the mirage he entered this time, everything around him was so real, and it didn't give him any false feeling at all.
There are more than a dozen stairs, which can be climbed quickly.
Lu Ye carefully stuck his head out and looked towards the second floor, and then his whole body suddenly froze.
Because at this moment, he met countless pairs of gray-green eyes, all of which were compound eyes. Lu Ye could almost see the reflection of his own stunned expression in those eyes.
On the second floor of the house that he thought was safe, there were actually more than a dozen Zerg lurking!
And it was the kind of Zerg that looked like a praying mantis that he was very familiar with!
He had killed many of these mantises, including other types of Zerg, when he was training in Mirage.
Why are there Zerg species here?
Before he had time to think deeply, the mantis zerg lurking on the second floor had already fluttered their wings and flew towards the stairwell. The first zerg to rush raised the boring knife high.
A sharp sword flashed, and the insect was immediately cut in half. Green insect blood spilled and a pungent smell filled the air.
Lu Ye stood at the entrance of the stairs, the Panshan Sword at his waist already unsheathed.
After killing the first Zerg, Lu Ye was a little relieved. The strength of these Mantis Zerg was not too strong. They were still in the Cloud River Realm. With his current strength equivalent to the True Lake Realm, it would be easy to kill them.
.
Moreover, his previous training in the mirage made him well aware of the weaknesses of these Zerg races.
With the sharp light of the sword, Lu Ye stood guard at the entrance of the stairs without taking a step back. All the mantis zerg that rushed towards him were killed one by one. In just a moment, they were all killed.
Little bits of light flew out from the corpses of the dead Zerg. Different from the bright red light that killed the monks from Ten Thousand Demon Ridge, these lights were golden.
Is there any meritorious service for killing insects?
While Lu Ye was surprised, he became increasingly certain that this was not an illusory scene.
Because he had killed so many Zerg in the Mirage Realm before, but he had never received meritorious service. Being able to obtain meritorious service meant that the Zerg he killed were all real.
But why does killing insects also have merit?
Lu Ye was curious about how much merit he would get from killing these Zerg, so he checked his battlefield marks.
The battlefield mark showed more than 140,000 meritorious service. Lu Ye did not carefully record the specific number of his previous meritorious service, so it was difficult to discern the standard of meritorious service for killing the insect tribe.
Just when he was about to record the current merit figures and compare them later, he suddenly discovered a change that puzzled him.
The battlefield mark records his own information. In the column of battle achievements, the number is displayed as: five hundred and seventy-six points!
This number is obviously wrong, because in Lu Ye's impression, his combat merit is only fifty-six points, and it has not changed for a long time.
After all, for him, a Yunhe Realm monk, there are not many opportunities to experience military exploits. So far, it has only been once!
It was that time in the secret realm of the Beast Realm.
