Chapter 1292: Chapter 1290: The Mirage Demon Reveals Herself
As Jiang Liu’s words fell, shortly thereafter, an illusory figure slowly emerged before him.
It was a young girl dressed in coarse cloth, appearing to be fourteen or fifteen years old.
“You are…” Jiang Liu’s heart moved slightly as he looked at the girl in front of him.
Today, when he first arrived in the village, many were very curious about him, gathering around as if he were some rare animal in a zoo, pointing and discussing.
This girl seemed to be among the crowd, didn’t she?
It turns out, this Mirage Demon used its illusion technique to create such a world akin to an idyllic Taoyuan, just to become a girl living in this small mountain village?
“Who are you? Why have you come to my Taoyuan Village?” The girl scrutinized Jiang Liu and directly asked.
Character interface!
However, Jiang Liu did not answer the girl’s words directly but instead silently recited to himself, pulling open her character interface to view.
A semi-transparent character interface appeared before Jiang Liu.
ID: Mirage Demon (Golden).
Gender: Female.
Profession: Demon.
Level: 90.
Equipment: …
“A level 90 golden interface? This Mirage Demon’s cultivation level is really high!” Jiang Liu was secretly shocked as he viewed the Mirage Demon’s level column.
As a member of the Demon Clan, having such a cultivation level, the Mirage Demon should have qualified to be one of the top ten Demon Gods during the period of the Shaman-Demon War?
Just like Lingyu’s current mount Qiongqi, isn’t it also a level 90 equivalent strength?
“You don’t know my identity?” After examining the Mirage Demon’s character interface for a moment, Jiang Liu then incredulously counter-questioned.
“I’m sorry, kind Master, for thousands of years, I’ve been in the Demon Realm without stepping out even once, so I don’t recognize you!” The Mirage Demon seemed very easy to talk to, with a quite friendly attitude.
Of course, while speaking, the Mirage Demon was also curiously scrutinizing Jiang Liu.
From his words just now, it seems he is someone very famous.
A very famous person within the Buddhist Sect?
The Mirage Demon only remembered Jieyin and Zhunti, but both of them became Saints early on, above and beyond, indestructible through endless calamities.
“In that case, let’s get to know each other anew, you can call me Jiang Liu!” Seeing that the Mirage Demon genuinely didn’t recognize him, Jiang Liu spoke.
“Hello, you can call me Ye Acui!” The Mirage Demon agreed, nodding and stating her name.
“Ye Acui? You have both a given name and a surname?” Jiang Liu’s heart moved slightly upon hearing the Mirage Demon’s words.
“Jiang Liu, is your visit to my Taoyuan Village today a coincidence or intentional?” After both parties reported their names, officially getting acquainted, the Mirage Demon Ye Acui then asked.
“I came today specifically to seek you…” Jiang Liu, upon hearing Ye Acui’s inquiry, said frankly without hiding anything.
“To seek me?” Ye Acui curiously looked at Jiang Liu upon hearing his words.
Firstly, she didn’t recognize him at all, so why would he seek her for no reason?
Secondly, she had been hidden in the Demon Realm for thousands of years, and hadn’t been much active in the Three Realms and Six Paths, so logically speaking, others should have forgotten about her.
“Yes, my purpose in coming here is specifically for you!”
Nodding his head, Jiang Liu then spoke: “I’ve heard you possess the strongest illusion technique ability in the world, so I have a matter I need your help with!”
Upon hearing Jiang Liu’s purpose was to seek help, Ye Acui fell into brief silence.
Neither agreeing nor refusing yet, she instead asked, “If I refuse the matter you’re requesting help with, what then?”
“Then, I will strive to request your help!” Without even hearing why he needed her help, she just asked what he would do if she refused, Jiang Liu thought for a moment before responding.
“And what if I never agree to help you?” Ye Acui then asked again.
“Then I will keep asking you! Until you agree!” Jiang Liu followed up, saying.
“Really? And what if I am determined not to agree and even move to drive you away?” Ye Acui continued to ask.
“In that case, if there’s no other way, I will defend myself!” Jiang Liu replied upon hearing this.
As they spoke, the Green Lotus Buddha Robe on Jiang Liu emitted a bright light, exposing its 1 billion defense value directly to Ye Acui.
Evidently, Jiang Liu meant to say that if you really intend to attack, then we’ll see if you can break this 1 billion defense value.
“Green Lotus Treasured Flag! I didn’t expect you to have such a treasure in your possession!” As Ye Acui gazed at the glowing Green Lotus Buddha Robe on Jiang Liu, she finally recognized its true nature and spoke up.
“No wonder you are so confident; it turns out you have a protective treasure like the Green Lotus Treasured Flag. I have to admit, with such a treasure, it’s truly difficult for me to harm you, but…” As she said this, Ye Acui raised her hand.
Soon, a light appeared, transforming into chains that bound Jiang Liu’s body tightly, rendering him immobile.
“However, I don’t need to harm you; I just need to restrict your movements!” Having confined Jiang Liu’s form, Ye Acui explained.
Upon saying this, she paused slightly and reminded, “Oh, I forgot to tell you, even though my cultivation hasn’t reached the Quasi-Saint level, I have already comprehended some of the Laws Power. This confinement can’t be broken by brute force alone!”
“Laws Power!?” To be honest, Ye Acui’s words made Jiang Liu’s expression change.
Although her cultivation hasn’t reached the Quasi-Saint level, Ye Acui can already comprehend the Laws Power, which is truly impressive.
“Alright, I have no fondness for the Buddhist Sect people; considering you’ve been courteous and you’re from the Human Clan, I won’t make it difficult for you. Just leave, and don’t disrupt the peace of Taoyuan Village in the future…”
Seeing the change in Jiang Liu’s expression, Ye Acui shook her head and spoke.
“With your cultivation, being able to comprehend the Laws Power is indeed remarkable, but…” At this point, Jiang Liu started speaking.
After a slight pause, Jiang Liu also fixed his gaze on Ye Acui and said, “But many others have comprehended the Laws Power, not just you!”
“What do you mean by that? At your cultivation level, you are still quite far from being a Quasi-Saint. Are you implying that you’ve also comprehended the Laws Power?” Ye Acui tilted her head slightly, seriously questioning Jiang Liu.
Clearly, with Jiang Liu’s cultivation level, Ye Acui found it hard to believe he could comprehend the Laws Power.
Sometimes, words alone aren’t as persuasive as action.
Therefore, Jiang Liu didn’t say much to Ye Acui but directly cast a Dispel Curse skill on himself.
With a 50% success rate, it’s still quite high!
Tip: Your Dispel Curse has been successfully cast and has removed the confinement state!
As the Dispel Curse was cast on himself, the chains binding Jiang Liu instantly shattered into pieces, and the system notification sounded in Jiang Liu’s mind.
“That’s impossible!” Flooded with disbelief, Ye Acui watched Jiang Liu undo the confinement with his Laws-type ability.
Originally, with her cultivation just shy of reaching the Quasi-Saint realm, Ye Acui believed her aptitude for comprehending the Laws Power was extremely rare.
Yet, this man named Jiang Liu appeared to have a lower cultivation than her but seemed to have a higher comprehension of the Laws!
“Nothing is impossible!” Jiang Liu calmly stated after successfully using the Dispel Curse.
This demeanor emanated an aura of superiority.
However, despite the outward appearance of calm and superiority, Jiang Liu was secretly relieved.
It seemed like his luck was good today; the Dispel Curse succeeded right away, unlike when he tried to remove the confinement on Fairy Yunxiao, where multiple attempts failed.
“For you to comprehend the Laws Power with such cultivation, is indeed unprecedented, but now that you have shown your skills, perhaps it’s time I show mine?”
Although Jiang Liu spoke elegantly and also had a favor to ask, he was not the type to refrain from reciprocation.
After his words fell, Jiang Liu lifted his hand, first casting a Silencing Zen on Ye Acui.
Considering the Mirage Demon’s combat methods, Jiang Liu believed starting with a Silencing Zen was definitely beneficial.
Immediately following, Jiang Liu raised his hand and cast a Sheep Transformation Technique, instantly turning Ye Acui into a harmless little lamb.
Lastly, Jiang Liu’s hand continued to rise, and the Healing Holy Hand skill activated.
This sequence of moves was already practiced to perfection by Jiang Liu.
A holy object descended from the sky, landing directly on Ye Acui.
“I have already undone your confinement; now, would you like to try undoing mine?” Jiang Liu asked as Ye Acui lay immobilized under the holy object of the Healing Holy Hand.
Pressed by the Healing Holy Hand skill, Ye Acui naturally reverted to her original Taoist Body form.
No need for Jiang Liu’s prompting, Ye Acui was already desperately struggling to free herself from the holy object pressing down on her.
Yet, no matter how much she struggled, the holy object remained immovable.
This realization made Ye Acui aware that Jiang Liu’s ability was indeed Laws-type.
“Unbelievable, with such meager cultivation, you can master so many Laws-type divine skills!”
