little beast is also the only real monster in this formation, named Illusory Rat.These constantly replenishing monsters are actually just derived from its power within the formation's enhancement.But...Jiang Yun finally opened his eyes and looked at the old man standing before him.

The other party, whether it was their appearance, temperament, even the kind smile on their face and hunched back, were all identical to the grandfather in Ginger Cloud's memory.

Seeing Ginger Cloud's open eyes, the elder's smile deepened, "Cloud boy, are you really certain, I am not your grandfather"

Although seeing the old man before him, Jiang Yun couldn't deny that he was indeed Grandpa Jiang Wanli, but there was a clear hint of sarcasm in the old man's words.

The elder continued, "Alright, I won't make things difficult for you. I am not your grandfather, and I did not intend to impersonate your grandfather."

"It's just how the illusions of my Ginger Clan work. It only allows me to appear as your grandfather."

"Well, I wouldn't say I'm pretending either. After all, at my age, calling me your grandfather wouldn't be out of line, would it"

The old man's words made Jiang Yun's eyes widen gradually, and an incredible thought popped into his mind.

"You, are you really"

The elder before us is clearly the powerful ginger clan warrior from outside the illusion, and he should be a kind of existence summoned by Zhanchou like a soul.

Through his battles with other summoned beings before, Jiang Yun knew that while they were all incredibly powerful, they absolutely lacked divine intelligence.

Just like a puppet, being controlled by resentment, or simply acting on instinct.

But now, this same summoned Ginger clan powerhouse, his words are clearly articulated, and even his tone carries a hint of mockery.

This means he at least has his own mind!

The elder chuckled softly and said, "Haha, of course I'm telling the truth, but I'm not a human like you."

"Because I am a spirit, the mirage's spirit!"

Jiang Yun couldn't help but be startled again.

The old man was a spirit imbued within the artifact, and he could understand this. However, Jiang Yun couldn't comprehend it. Since the other party was a spirit, why would they be summoned by Zhan Chou

"Well, back then, in order to completely cut off these monster beasts' comings and goings, each of the Nine Clan Sacred Artifacts had a true Nine Clan powerhouse stationed within!"

At this point, the elder's smile faded, replaced by a heavy expression as he said: "It was those nine powerful warriors from the Nine Clans that Zhan Yuan just summoned. They are all dead!"

Ginger Cloud remained silent, for his mind was in turmoil at this moment, unable to make sense of what was happening.

The old man sighed and continued, "My situation is rather special. Back then, the powerful warrior who entered the Mirage Tower left behind a divine consciousness before his death. By chance, it merged with me, and over time, I became a spirit of the artifact."

As for this, Ginger Cloud readily understood and nodded.

The elder continued, “Although my main body, the mirage, is outside a passage, because its function is to connect the passage and this place, as an artifact spirit, I can freely travel between these two places.”

Speaking of this, a hint of dissatisfaction crept into the elder's voice: "However, because of the special environment here, even if I came here, I could only stay under that wretched James's command and couldn't come out!"

The old man's words caused Jiang Yun to chuckle involuntarily. It was clear that although the other party was a spiritual being, its life form was significantly higher than that of the spirit within Jie Kong Ding. It was similar to the situations of Lü Lun and Huangtu.

Moreover, he even inherited the personality of that former ginger tribe powerhouse who once guarded the mirage tower, being quite humorous.

As for this Zhan Yuan, he possesses the ability to summon everything from nothingness!

Of course, this kind of summoning is not at one's beck and call, and it will also be subject to some restrictions.

"I still haven't figured out what the limitations of his summoning are."

"Even I didn't expect that he would be able to summon me."

Although I haven't met you, there is the aura of the reincarnation seal of my ginger clan on you. In order to avoid being discovered by him, I used this method to meet you.

Hearing this, Ginger Cloud finally came to a realization, and her heart was filled with joy.

Although the other party is just a spirit, it's like family to me.

However, Jiang Yun immediately frowned and said, "But now that we've been in this illusion for so long, wouldn't Zhan Yuan have noticed"

"Impossible!" the elder chuckled arrogantly. "It seems that while you have obtained our clan's reincarnation seal, your grandfather didn't pass down my Ginger Clan's illusions to you."

"My Jiang clan's illusions are different from others'."

"Our illusions can manipulate the speed at which time passes."

"With my ability, I can slow down time tenfold. This means that even if you spend ten days in this dream world, only one day will have passed outside!"

"What!"

Jiang Yun was stunned again. The ability to change the flow of time within an illusion was simply unimaginable.

"Okay, don't be surprised. If you want to learn, I can teach you later, but for now, let's figure out how to solve this grievance!"

The elder's words pulled Jiangyun back to reality.

Even though time passes ten times slower here than outside, it's impossible for me to stay hidden here forever. If I linger too long, Zhan Yuan will surely notice something is amiss.

"My current power is borrowed, and I've already consumed a lot of it. It can't be sustained for too long. Facing Jian Yuan, I'm afraid my strength will fall short."

The old man's eyes rolled and he said, "Here's the plan: you go and bring me to his side. Then I'll use my illusion magic to try and pull him into a dream world. If it works, you launch your most powerful attack!"

Ginger shook her head and said, "This is too risky. What if you..."

Before Ginger Cloud could finish her words, the old man interrupted, "Rest assured, as long as the mirage stands, I will not die!"

Ginger looked at the old man with a dubious gaze and said, "Really"

The old man smiled and said, "Since I became a spirit, I've always stayed in the Mirage Tower and this dilapidated prison. I haven't gone to see the wonders of this world, how could I be willing to die so early!"

The elder's relaxed demeanor eased Jiang Yun's perpetually heavy mood. After a moment of contemplation, he nodded firmly and said, "Then thank you for your help, senior!"

"Then we leave now!"

"Good!"

As the elder's voice faded, a burst of light filled Jiang Yun's vision. He was back within the range of the soulfire's flames. Not far away, the two powerhouses from the Soul Race and the Reincarnation Race were still some distance away from him.

Obviously, in this reality, time has not passed for long, only a few breaths.

As for himself, the ginger elder in front of him had recovered his original lifeless appearance. This caused a flash of cold light in Ginger Cloud's eyes. With a wave of his sleeve, a gust of wind roared out, enveloping the elder's body.

And he himself, with a straight charge, rose up, taking the old man along, and rushed toward Zhan Yuan.

Looking at Jiang Yun and the elder of the Jiang Clan rushing over, Zhan Yan's face remained expressionless, apparently not worried at all.

In the blink of an eye, the two had arrived before Zhan Yuan. The gray eyes of the ginger elder suddenly flared with life, and the nine-colored mark on his brow spun wildly, transforming into a vortex!

Her face contorted in surprise. The moment she saw the whirlpool, her entire being seemed to transform into a statue, standing there motionless as if plunged into a trance...

First released on the Traditional Chinese Novel Networks seemed to sense it. The golden light within them surged and burst forth, condensing into a golden sky of thunder that descended directly towards Jiang Yun.Thunder, has always been known for its spee...
