Chapter 293 Sumeru Illusionary Realm
Pang Xiuming's words stirred something within the students.
Death in the Sumeru Illusionary Realm has no effect on them; they only suffer from mental exhaustion for half a month. What does mental exhaustion matter to martial artists like them?
"The staff should have explained the relevant matters regarding the Sumeru Illusionary Realm to you yesterday."
Let me add a couple more points here. There are a total of thirteen Sumeru Illusion Palaces within Blue Star University, distributed across thirteen campuses.
"Top students have three opportunities to enter the Sumeru Illusionary Realm each month. After exceeding three times, they will have to pay credits to enter the Sumeru Illusionary Realm again. Each entry will cost 50 credits," Pang Xiuming continued.
"50 credits, is that so expensive?"
"Top students only get 1,000 credits a month, isn't 50 credits too expensive?"
"I can't afford it, but thankfully there are three free chances a month."
The students were discussing it.
"Alright, students, I'd like to remind you of one more thing. Since the Sumeru Illusionary Realm is entered through the consciousness body, it consumes a lot of one's mental energy. Therefore, students below the Qi and Blood Limit should not stay in the Sumeru Illusionary Realm for more than three hours each time."
Even those who have reached the pinnacle of Qi and Blood should not exceed 5 hours. If any of you are a Spiritual Master, then you can do as you please.
Even a trainee spiritual master possesses mental strength far exceeding that of ordinary people, and their consciousness can remain active within the Sumeru Illusionary Realm for more than eight hours.
Now, everyone, let's enter the Sumeru Illusionary Palace together!
Pang Xiuming took the lead and entered the palace gate of the Sumeru Illusionary Realm Palace, followed by a group of students from the 15th key class.
After everyone had gone inside, Mu Ningshu suddenly called out to a few students behind her.
"You guys wait a minute!"
Several students looked puzzled. They knew Mu Ningshu was the class monitor appointed by their instructor, so they asked, "Class Monitor Mu, what do you need us for?"
"Are you special admissions students from Hunan and Guangdong provinces?" Mu Ningshu asked.
"Yes!" the group replied.
"I heard that two people in Hunan and Guangdong provinces have been diagnosed with perfect bone structure? Is that true?" Mu Ningshu asked.
"Yes, but the two people who were found to have perfect physiques are both transfer students from other provinces. One of them is Tang Guanlin, who is said to be a member of the genius group of Sudong Province."
There was also Chen Lie, who seemed to be a transfer student from a small, impoverished province.
"Oh? This Chen Lie also has perfect aptitude?" Mu Ningshu looked at the group of people.
"Actually, he was measured to have average physical attributes, but after the test results were approved by the school administration, they were changed to perfect physical attributes."
The advisor from the school administration office also asked our class advisor, Pang, to pay special attention to Chen Lie, saying that while he has a powerful background, he possesses exceptional natural talent.
Mu Ningshu nodded slightly and said, "I understand, you can go in now!"
Several people nodded and followed the crowd into the Sumeru Illusion Palace.
After Pang Xiuming led the group of students into the Sumeru Illusion Palace, the staff of the Sumeru Illusion Palace immediately came forward to greet them.
"Professor Pang, you've brought your students?"
Pang Xiuming nodded and said, "Are there still empty seats in the Sumeru Illusionary Realm? All 150 students from our Elite Class 15 are here."
"Yes, of course there are empty seats. Let all the students come over."
Pang Xiuming nodded and said, "Students, there are 1000 spatial rooms in the main hall of the Sumeru Illusion Palace. Each spatial room allows one person to enter the Sumeru Illusion."
Everyone, choose an empty room and follow the intelligent prompts to try entering the Sumeru Illusionary Realm for the first time!
More than a hundred students dispersed and, following the instructions of the staff, came to the door of the space room.
Chen Lie also found a private room, and when staff came to guide him, he waved them away.
He had some understanding of the Sumeru Illusionary Realm.
Huang Yuande, standing next to him, kept asking the staff questions.
The staff patiently replied, "Within the Sumeru Illusionary Realm, you can engage in simulated battles, and the combat experience gained is no different from that in the real world."
You can also directly simulate battles against alien beasts, or directly engage in real-life duels with extraterrestrial geniuses.
If you enter the Sumeru Illusionary Realm Azure Star Region at the same time, there's even a chance you'll run into other students who entered with you.
After asking several questions, Huang Yuande finally entered the space room under the guidance of the staff.
Chen Lie had already entered the space room before that.
Following the intelligent prompts from the space chamber, Chen Lie arrived at the area illuminated by the Sumeru Stone and saw a hibernation pod in the center of the space chamber.
"To enter the Sumeru Illusionary Realm, we actually need to use a hibernation pod?"
Chen Lie murmured to himself, but considering that a single Sumeru Stone on Blue Star was to be used by 1000 people at the same time, he was no longer surprised.
While Sumeru Stones are commonplace in the Central Galactic Empire, they are extremely rare on Earth.
Following the intelligent prompts, Chen Lie lay down in the hibernation pod.
A mechanical voice announced: "Please relax. You are connecting to the Sumeru Stone and attempting to enter the Sumeru Illusionary Realm."
"The Sumeru Stone connection is successful. The Sumeru Illusionary Realm passage is open. You are about to enter the Sumeru Illusionary Realm."
Suddenly, the scene before Chen Lie's eyes changed, and he felt his consciousness leave his body and enter a strange space.
When Chen Lie opened his eyes again, all he saw was a blank screen.
A emotionless voice rang in Chen Lie's ears.
"Scanning the physical information of the person who entered the illusionary realm————"
"Body information scan complete. Physical fitness information of entrant No. 1357436479429 from the Canglan Starfield is now displayed."
Name: None Coordinates: Eastern part of Canglan Star Region Bone age: 18.5 years old Gender: Male.

"Physical fitness scan complete, mental energy information scan in progress —"
"Mental energy information scan complete, information displayed."
Name: None Coordinates: Eastern part of the Canglan Star Region Age: 18.5 years old Gender: Male Realm: First-level Divine Sense Master (Mid-stage)
World of Consciousness: Seven Mansions of the Southern Heaven Consciousness God: Bi Kuang (incomplete).
Overall assessment: An extraordinary genius in the Canglan Star Region, ranking first in Qi Strength and first in the Canglan Star Region's Sea of Consciousness.
"Intelligent prompt: The entrant has been detected as an extraordinary genius from the Canglan Star Region. For safety reasons, it is recommended that the entrant conceal personal information."
Please consider the principle of whether or not something is being concealed.
"Conceal it!" Chen Lie said directly.
"Command issued successfully. The Sumeru Illusionary Realm will conceal all information about the entrant."
"Body scan complete. Enterer, please name yourself."
Chen Lie thought for a moment and said, "The nameless one."
"Naming successful. Please select the Sumeru Illusionary Realm to enter the area."
A screen of light seemed to appear before Chen Lie's eyes.
The first column of the light screen displays the option for the Central Galactic Empire—Ten Star Provinces.
There are provinces such as "North Star Province", "East Star Province", and "Tai'a Star Province" —
Chen Lie randomly selected the Beichenxing Province, but a warning appeared.
"No nameless individuals detected. Passage to the North Star Province of the Central Galactic Empire has been denied. Entry into the North Star Province area has failed."
Therefore, Chen Lie could only find the Azure Sky Region below and choose to enter it.
"Selection successful. The AI has automatically matched you and you are about to arrive in the eastern part of the Canglan Starfield."
"Descent successful. Welcome, Nameless One, to the eastern part of the Azure Sky Starfield in the Sumeru Illusion Realm."
Chen Lie's vision blurred, and he was instantly transported to a strange world.
Beneath his feet lay what seemed like a continent, and around him, many figures were moving about.
"This is the eastern part of the Canglan Starfield in the Sumeru Illusionary Realm, which is different from the Sumeru Illusionary Realm of the Central Galaxy Empire."
Chen Lie had just arrived when someone walked over.
"Brother, are you also going to hunt phantom beasts?"
"What kind of mythical beasts are you hunting?"
Chen Lie glanced at the people who had gathered around him. Seeing that the person had long hair and was dressed like an ancient person from Earth hundreds of years ago, he instantly knew that this person was not from Earth.
"It's the order from the Thirteen Star Alliance to hunt down the phantom beasts. Are you unaware of this? Is this your first time entering the Sumeru Illusionary Realm?" the man asked.
"Yes, this is my first time entering the Sumeru Illusionary Realm," Chen Lie nodded.
"I am Yao Tianlin, son of the Marquis of Jing'an of the Great Yan Dynasty on the Crimson Flame Star."
Judging from your attire, could you perhaps be from Earth or Jupiter?
Chen Lie nodded.
"Oh, since this is your first time entering the Sumeru Illusionary Realm, let me tell you about it."
Within the Sumeru Illusionary Realm, there exists a species of true energy called the Illusionary Beast. Successfully hunting an Illusionary Beast will leave behind a crystal core, which has miraculous effects within the Sumeru Illusionary Realm.
The stars of the Thirteen Star Alliance have been issuing orders to gather leaders and hand over crystal cores in the Sumeru Illusionary Realm. In return, they will record the transactions and reward the leaders with corresponding Galactic Coins at the Star University in the real world.
Is this your first time entering the Sumeru Illusionary Realm? You must not be a student of Starry Sky University, right?
I wonder what their strength is?
Chen Lie said, "The Refining Stage."
"It's very difficult for those below the entry-level martial artist level to hunt phantom beasts, so I'll take my leave now!"
Yao Tianlin cupped his hands in a respectful gesture to Chen Lie, then turned and left.
Chen Lie arrived at a deserted place and took a look at the hidden functions of the Sumeru Illusionary Realm.
There are options such as "simulated battle" and "virtual battle".
"Perfect, let's test the mettle of this extraterrestrial genius."
Chen Lie directly chose the virtual battle arena.
"Virtual Battlefield" is matching opponents —
"Match complete. Opponent: Zhou Yunqi (Refining Stage) from Muyuan Star."
"Entering virtual battle space————"
Chen Lie felt a blur before his eyes and instantly entered a blank space.
Across from him, a boy of about sixteen or seventeen was looking at him.
"The Nameless One? You cowardly creature, what planet are you from?"
The young man looked at Chen Lie with disdain.
"Oh? You're Zhou Yunqi from Muyuan Star? Your opponent in the virtual battle arena?" Chen Lie sized up the boy in front of him.
Below the Sumeru Battle Platform, several young men and women were standing.
A girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old said, "Brother Yunqi, be careful. Although this 'Nameless One' has not released any information, his coordinates are from the eastern part of the Canglan Star Region."
Of the five planets in the Azure Starfield, only Blue Star wears clothing similar to ours. This person is very likely from Blue Star!
"Oh? So you're from Earth." Zhou Yunqi said casually, "Sister Xin, don't worry. I've been matching for so long and all I've met are people from other planets. I've been wanting to meet people from Earth for a long time, and I didn't expect to run into one this time."
"You'd better be careful. This person looks a year or two older than you, and is likely at the peak of the Dirty Refining stage, while you've only reached the second stage," the girl said.
"With my combat strength, even someone who has refined their five internal organs might not be able to defeat me," Zhou Yunqi said calmly.
"Xinran, don't worry. Yun Qi's strength is among the top in our Wood Origin Star University's Refining Stage, and he has many trump cards. How could an unknown nobody from Blue Star be a match for Yun Qi?"
"A boy next to me said."
At that moment, a voice rang out from the empty battle arena: "Battle begins!"
Zhou Yunqi suddenly sprang up and unleashed a series of rapid palm strikes.
"Boom boom boom!"
A massive burst of blood and qi erupted, and an attack with a force exceeding 20,000 jin (approximately 10,000 kg) instantly slammed towards Chen Lie.
Chen Lie dodged the powerful attacks one by one; within the Sumeru Illusionary Realm, there was no need for him to hide.
For a moment, he was unable to fully unleash his dragon tendons and bones.
Zhou Yunqi, who was launching a fierce attack, suddenly felt an immense pressure. Under this pressure, his breathing stopped, and he seemed to break out in a cold sweat.
"Extreme pressure? How is that possible?"
Zhou Yunqi was puzzled. He had been told he was at the extreme level of Qi and Blood, so he shouldn't be subject to the pressure of the extreme level.
But the immense pressure we are facing now is clearly like the feeling of facing the extreme of one's Qi and Blood with only a few hundred calories of Qi and Blood.
The girl below exclaimed, "This is the ultimate pressure of the Qi and Blood stage, the Qi and Blood Transformation Rainbow stage!"
Oh no! The Sumeru Illusionary Realm has made a mistake. It has actually matched Yunqi with a powerful expert at the Great Perfection of the Qi and Blood stage!
""
Taking advantage of Zhou Yunqi's fear of the Dragon Tendon Bone Refining Technique, Chen Lie released his blood and qi, and a blood-red dragon more than 20 meters long instantly coiled around him. With Chen Lie's fist, he attacked Zhou Yunqi.
With a loud "boom!"
The powerful blow struck Zhou Yunqi's vitals instantly, and Zhou Yunqi's consciousness vanished in an instant.
"Virtual battle ends. Zhou Yunqi of Muyuan Star versus the Nameless One. The Nameless One wins."
A voice rang out from the blank battle arena.
Below the battle platform, several teenagers panicked.
"Brother Yunqi actually died in the Sumeru Illusionary Realm?" the leading girl couldn't help but ask.
"Are you sure that was the pressure from someone at the pinnacle of Qi and Blood cultivation?" the boy next to him asked.
"It should be. I've felt the extreme pressure of the Qi and Blood Transformation Rainbow level before, and it's very similar to the pressure emanating from that individual just now."
"So, it really is a mismatch between the Sumeru Illusionary Realm and the real world?"
Yunqi was just a few games away from achieving a 100-game winning streak; it's such a pity.
The girl gritted her teeth and said, "How could the Sumeru Illusionary Realm be mismatched? That nameless person must have used some means to deceive the Sumeru Illusionary Realm."
There aren't many experts at the Great Perfection of Qi and Blood on Blue Star. The nameless person's coordinates are in the eastern part of the Azure Blue Star Region. Have Dark Moon inquire on Blue Star about who returned from Starry Sky University.
"I heard that Huo Jinghong returned to Blue Star some time ago. He is one of the top ten geniuses in the Qi and Blood stage on Blue Star. Could this nameless person be Huo Jinghong?"
'
