  "Elder, let's not beat around the bush. If there's something on me that catches your eye, just say it. But I reckon even these few trinkets on me wouldn't be worthy of your attention." Ye Feng said to Monkey, since he knew Monkey had an ulterior motive, things would be easier to handle.

  "Kid, no need to try to deceive me." The monkey saw through Ye Feng's trick and spoke bluntly, unlike those proud cultivators who often saw through Ye Feng's schemes but had to pretend not to.

  Ye Feng smiled awkwardly.

  "Hey kid, are you still hiding someone? Why don't you bring him out and let's take a look?" The monkey stared at Ye Feng.

  It's gone bad, even his deepest secrets were seen through by the monkey. What level of cultivation does this monkey have? Ye Feng's heart was shocked and frightened.

  Things have come to this, and even if Sanlang is not released, it's too late. This monkey won't be eyeing his own little Hong first and then eyeing Sanlang, or else he'll be in trouble. If the two biggest reliance are taken away by the monkey, everything will be over.

  "Kid, what are you afraid of? I'll still take a look at those two useless things of yours." The monkey seemed to have seen through Ye Feng's thoughts.

  Ye Feng had no choice but to release Sanlang.

  Everyone just came out and wanted to stretch their muscles, when they saw the monkey standing in front of them. They immediately became extremely docile, just like a domesticated little dog, not daring to move at all.

  It's completely over, even Sanlang is extremely afraid of this monkey.

  "As expected." The monkey stared at Sanlang for a moment before refocusing its gaze on Yefeng, making Yefeng's hair stand on end.

  "Little one, this stupid bird should be the one you've tamed here, and that little monster should be the one you brought in from outside, right?" The monkey looked at Ye Feng.

  "Indeed, senior's eyes are like torches, penetrating everything. This little secret of mine can't escape senior's discerning eye." Wanting to blend in with the Cultivation Realm, flattering and fawning is also a required profession.

  "Listen up, kid," the monkey said, seeming a bit excited. "I won't take advantage of you."

  Oh, I see. This is what you're after from me, huh? Ye Feng lowered his head, his eyes darting back and forth restlessly. No matter who you are, as long as you want to get on Ye Feng's bad side, you'll have to pay a certain price for that.

  "Although seniors give orders, as long as I can do it, I will definitely go all out." Ye Feng said with a resolute tone, but his heart wasn't that simple.

  "Never mind all that, take me on a tour of your inner world," said the monkey.

  Ye Feng placed his palm on the monkey's arm and took it into the inner world.

  The monkey looked around curiously and found nothing special except for the vast expanse.

  "Little one, wait until this place is reopened again, take me with you when you leave." The monkey spoke out its intention.

  So that's how it is, Ye Feng understood, but there were still some things he didn't quite understand.

  "Senior, with your cultivation, can't you leave the Illusory Realm?"

  "Hmph! If I could leave, I wouldn't need you. Haven't you noticed that the cultivation of the monks who come in has certain restrictions? Going out is the same, the higher the cultivation, the less possible it is to go out. I've been trapped here for who knows how many years, if I could leave, do you think I'd be willing to stay here?" The monkey said coldly.

  That's easy, since I'm the only one who can take you out, if I don't extort you thoroughly, it would be a waste of this trip to the fantasy realm.

  Ye Feng looked at the monkey, "Senior, how did you get trapped in this illusory realm?"

  "Alas, it's a long story. Someone framed me, got me drunk and trapped me here, I don't know for how many tens of thousands of years." The monkey let out a sigh, with a hint of resentment and hatred.

  Oh, Ye Feng knew that Monkey had an unspoken secret and it wasn't good to ask more questions.

  "Alright, since I promised you, I should also make a move. Let's go out." The monkey looked at Ye Feng.

  The two exited Ye Feng's inner world.

  The monkey pointed at the Tianzhu fruit in front of him and said, "I'll give these fruits to you. It seems like all of you are fighting over this rotten fruit. I'm tired of eating it too, it's time for a change of taste."

  Ye Feng was speechless, and you can say such things, what you're tired of eating is a treasure to us.

  "Thank you, senior." Ye Feng didn't pretend to be polite and quickly put all the Tianzhu fruits into his storage bag.

  "Little ones, you guys, why do you have to come in here and make a ruckus every now and then." The monkey didn't understand the purpose of the monks entering the Illusionary Realm.

  "It's like this, our Ten Great Sects' disciples undergo trials, and every time the Illusory Realm opens, they come in to search for tasks that were previously set." Ye Feng said directly.

  "Oh, no wonder it's always a big commotion every time. If I didn't see that your cultivation is too low and it would dirty my hands, I would have beaten you intruders to death with one stick." The monkey said discontentedly.

  Ye Feng's forehead was covered in cold sweat, fortunately the Illusory Realm had a cultivation limit, otherwise he would have been killed by the monkeys. It was laughable that the ten sects still considered this place as a sacred trial ground for their disciples.

  Ye Feng suddenly had an epiphany, it seemed that the Illusory Realm was ruled by monkeys, could he get all the task items through the monkey's relationship? That would be much simpler. With this heaven-defying cheat device, not using it wouldn't be Ye Feng's style.

  "Senior, you're a kind person, I still need a few more items to complete the task. You're the master here, so think of a way for me." Ye Feng looked pitifully at the monkey.

  "Hey kid, are you trying to negotiate with me?" the monkey scolded.

  "I don't dare, I really don't dare. The truth is, when I came here, I made a bet with someone that I would get the first place in this trial. If I don't succeed, I'll lose my life to them. Think about it, if I fail and don't get the first place, I'll be dead as soon as I leave. It's better for me to stay here with you."

  "Haha, little kid, you're threatening me now?" The monkey was laughed at by Ye Feng.

  "Anyway, you deal with it. Either I'll stay here and not move, or you help me. Today, I'm being lazy." Ye Feng sat down in front of the monkey, looking utterly shameless.

  Xiao Hong looked at Ye Feng in an unbelievable manner. He deeply understood the monkey's tactics, and dared to speak to the monkey like this. In the Illusory Realm, Ye Feng was still the number one person.

  Sanlang was also frightened. Although he didn't recognize the monkey, he felt the terror of its cultivation. His master's madness had come again.

  "Kid, believe it or not, I can knock you out with just one finger." The monkey looked at Ye Feng with a smile.

  "Suit yourself, anyway I won't be able to beat you." Ye Feng was determined to be a rogue to the end.

  "That's all," said the monkey.

  "Thank you, senior. I don't need much, just some Revival Fruits and Flame Crystals," Ye Feng said hastily.

  "What are Rebirth Fruits and Flame Crystals? I don't recognize them." Although the monkey had lived in the Illusory Realm for tens of thousands of years, how would he know the names that the Cultivation Realm gave to these items.

  Ye Feng quickly made gestures to the monkey about the characteristics and origin of these two items.

  "Oh, it's just these two things, isn't there anything else?" The monkey said indifferently.

  "Hmm, that's enough." Ye Feng saw the monkey nodding in agreement and quickly replied.

  "Alas, look at your poor taste. There are countless things here that are much better than these two. Since you've chosen them, I'll agree to it."

  The monkey finished speaking, and Ye Feng was immediately stunned. Damn it, he had been deceived! This monkey was too cunning! First, it pretended to be unwilling, but now it said something like that. If the monkey could agree with itself, why not ask for more good things?

  Regretted to death, a complete money fanatic saw a large number of treasures within reach but floated away in front of his eyes, what kind of mood is that.

  If it weren't for being outnumbered by the monkeys, Ye Feng would have beaten them up thoroughly.

  But once said, no matter how thick-skinned Ye Feng was, he couldn't bear to mention his request again, leaving only endless regret.

  The monkey thought that Ye Feng would definitely make another request, and he was ready to tease him again. However, seeing Ye Feng hanging his head in shame and remaining silent, the monkey's impression of him improved greatly.

  "Let's go, I'll take you to find what you're looking for." The monkey picked up Ye Feng and the two of them took off into the air, flying towards a place in the Illusory Realm.

  Carefully distinguishing the scenery on the ground, Ye Feng knew this was going to find the Rebirth Fruit.

  Regenerating fruit is more difficult to pick because the regenerating fruit grows on the edge of a pond. Not only are there crocodile-like lizards in the pond, but saber-toothed tigers also live nearby.

  To get the Rebirth Fruit, one must cross through several territories where Spirit Beasts gather to reach this place, and finally defeat these two Spirit Beasts to obtain it.

  Arriving above the Shui Tan, there were already cultivators who had arrived here and encountered attacks from two kinds of spiritual beasts.

  The monkey hid his figure in the air, with his palms facing the edge of the water pool where the Regeneration Fruit Tree was located. With a burst of energy, the entire Regeneration Fruit Tree flew into mid-air and disappeared from sight. The two spiritual beasts below felt a familiar terrifying aura and hastily ran back to their own nests.

  The monks were still puzzled, but they found that the rebirth fruit they had been fighting for was completely uprooted and disappeared. It's really a case of calling heaven and earth without response, and the strange disappearance of Huolie Eagle's flying feathers. After finally arriving here, even the last bit of hope was shattered.

  The entire Illusory Realm has only one Regeneration Fruit growing here, isn't this preventing everyone from leaving the Illusory Realm? Even some cultivators are suffering endlessly.

  The monkey and Ye Feng ignored them, turned around and flew towards Lie Yan Mountain.

  Xiao Hong's face was flushed with excitement, the master's promise had indeed come true, she had climbed to the high branch of the fantasy realm's big shot, and the flame crystal stone was within her grasp.

  Arriving above the Blazing Flame Mountain, Ye Feng saw the appearance of the Blazing Flame Mountain for the first time. The entire mountain was a fiery red, as if it were a giant flame rising up into the sky.

  The monkey stretched out his big hand and stirred the flames on the mountain top of Lianhuashan.

  "Boom!" After the loud noise, Lianyanshan split in two, and a crack appeared in the middle.

  The monkey brought Ye Feng transformed into a flash of lightning, shooting inward.

  Inside the Flame Mountain flickered with fiery red light.

  The monkey rushed straight to the center of Lianyue Mountain, and the peripheral flame crystal stones had all been mined by the monks and the spiritual beasts that needed this crystal stone.

  Arriving at the center of Blazing Mountain, the monkey pointed at a pile of fiery red crystals and said: "This is what you've been searching for."

  Ye Feng was overjoyed and busied himself with both hands, putting all the Flame Crystals into his inner world.

  "Huh? This little guy is still alive." The monkey beckoned with its hand, and a small, pangolin-like spirit beast appeared nimbly in the palm of the monkey's hand.

  "This is for you." After stroking it for a while, the monkey handed the little guy in its hand to Ye Feng.

  Ye Feng looked at the monkey with a puzzled expression, then shifted his gaze to the little creature, wondering what kind of spiritual beast this was.

  "This little guy has a keen sense of smell for these things since birth and can find the crystals buried deep down," said the monkey.

  Jing Shi Shou! Upon hearing the monkey's words, Ye Feng thought of a legendary divine beast in his mind. This divine beast was born with sensitivity to Jing Shi, and no matter how deep the crystal ore was buried, the Crystal Beast would find it.

  It's finally happened, this crystal beast is even more powerful than any treasure, Ye Feng was overjoyed.

  In the eyes of a monkey, it's something insignificant and worthless, but in Ye Feng's eyes, it was an absolutely heaven-defying divine beast.

  Without hesitation, Ye Feng took out countless taming symbols and was about to tame the Crystal Beast.

  The monkey looked at Ye Feng strangely, "What are you doing?"

  "Of course, it's taming this little guy." Ye Feng replied.

  "Chop, stupid to death." The monkey stretched out his finger and tapped the crystal beast's forehead, then tapped Ye Feng's forehead.

  Jing Shi Beast immediately lay obediently in Ye Feng's arms, extremely gentle. Ye Feng also felt the change in Jing Shi Beast, was it really that easy to tame? Or was his cultivation just too good? Taming a pet was so simple, Ye Feng couldn't help but feel envious.

  "Alright, what else do you want to do?" The monkey looked at Ye Feng.

  "After dealing with Huo Lieying's matter, there's nothing else. Ye Feng remembered that he must fulfill his promise to Xiaohong."

  Arriving at the mountain where the Blazing Eagles gather, Ye Feng took out the Flame Crystal and handed it over to Xiao Hong.

  Xiao Hong let out a long cry, and all the Firebirds flew up to the mountain top, lined up in formation, and received their Flame Crystals.

  When all the Flame Crystals had been distributed, Xiaohong reluctantly flew up high and took a last look at the mountain where she had lived for countless years. Then, with a mournful cry, she landed beside Ye Feng.

  Ye Feng withdrew Xiao Hong back into his body.

  After doing all this, Ye Feng calculated the time and found that he had been in the Illusory Realm for more than 20 days. There were only a few days left before the Illusory Realm reopened.

  This time's trip to the Phantom Domain is really unpredictable, I didn't expect that whether it was a sect mission or a personal mission, Ye Feng actually got several of them, this time it's impossible not to be first.

  "Senior, anyway, there's nothing much to do now. The date for the reopening of the Illusory Domain is also not far off. Why don't we just wait near the exit until the Illusory Domain reopens?" Ye Feng sought Monkey's opinion.

  The monkey was trapped in the illusory realm for countless years and was eager to leave, immediately taking Ye Feng flying towards the entrance of the illusory realm.

  To avoid unnecessary trouble, when they reached the entrance, Ye Feng took the monkey into the inner world and waited for the opening date to arrive.

  At this time, many monks who had gained nothing also gradually rushed to the entrance, one by one with a sorrowful face, comforting each other.

  Originally, many people had planned to set up an ambush at the entrance of the canyon and rob others, including Ye Feng who had once thought about it. Now it seems that there is no need for this, as none of the cultivators have completed their tasks. Even if they were successful in robbing others, they wouldn't be able to gather all the required items, so going after revenge would not be worth it.

  As the monks hurried back, they were all discussing a common topic, why the task items had disappeared without a trace, and whether anyone who hadn't completed their personal tasks would be punished by being left in the Phantom Domain.

  It's really too terrifying here, the spiritual beasts are everywhere, and the deeper you go, the more there are, and their cultivation is also higher. This time, almost half of the cultivators stayed in the Illusory Realm forever.

  Although these monks did not complete their mission, they were grateful to be still alive.

  Some people also talked about Ye Feng, mentioning that terrifying monkey, and no one knew what happened to Ye Feng in the end.

  Ye Feng secretly observed that only six of the Wang Hai Pai disciples who entered the Illusory Realm returned, plus himself made seven, a loss of half. Zuo Le Xing and Su Mu Bai also returned.

  This made Ye Feng very satisfied.

  The tedious waiting finally came to an end, and with a flash of light, a large black hole appeared at the end of the canyon, which was the exit of the Illusory Realm.

  The masters walked out of the large mouth in a lackluster manner, where they were met by the leaders of various sects, who came forward to ask about their own harvest.

  What shocked everyone was that this trial had turned out to be such a situation, almost no one could believe it. Several elders hurriedly asked each other, and the result was the same: only a small number of disciples obtained a pitiful amount of items, which was not enough for their personal tasks. This left all the leading elders stunned - were they supposed to send all the disciples who had come to participate in the trial back to the Illusory Realm?

  What made Raven, Yin Ren and Li Xincheng happy was that Ye Feng didn't come out, and no one saw Ye Feng either, which also meant that Ye Feng might have died inside.

  A small cultivator in the Qi Refining stage dared to claim that he would be first, which was simply a huge joke. Levin and Yin Ren also started mocking Ye Feng.

  "Something that overestimated its own strength has died in the Illusory Realm. What a pity about the bet." Before entering the Illusory Realm, both parties who set up the bet would retrieve their treasures. After all, with Chou Si Yao from the Mystic Valley as the judge, no one dared to go back on their word. Moreover, some magical artifacts could indeed be used within the Illusory Realm and couldn't be left outside.

  "It's just that, even if we didn't complete the task this time, the pitiful items brought out by Wang Hai Pai are still the worst, and that's something that can't be changed. How embarrassing." Lei Wen deliberately stood in front of Li Xinchen and said loudly.

  It wasn't until then that the cultivators remembered that there was such an episode before they entered the Illusory Realm.

  Li Xincheng remained silent, although his face was a bit unsightly, but in his heart he was also happy that Ye Feng hadn't come back.

  "Li Xincheng, remember this for me. From now on, whenever you see any disciple of the Wanghai Sect, no matter who it is from our two sects, even if it's just a dog, you must avoid them. Since Ye Feng died in the Illusory Realm, the Wanghai Sect must pay a certain price." Yin Ren shouted.

  "No, if we don't give them some color to see, the Wang Hai faction will still be arrogant. " Lei Wen also shouted along, these days of depression in his heart finally had a chance to vent out, everyone has spread the news that the two of them and Ye Feng made a bet, their faces were completely lost, now they have the opportunity to mock the Wang Hai faction, how could they miss it."

  Li Xincheng was speechless with rage, and the disciples of Wanghai Sect behind him were also furious but had nothing to say.

  "Ugh, dogs are just dogs. It's only been a few days since they were last disciplined and now they're biting people again." A voice came from the entrance of the Illusory Realm that was originally thought to be uninhabited.

  Everyone turned their heads to look, who else could it be but Ye Feng?

  "Little Leaf, I knew you'd be back." Zuo Le Xing was the first to jump beside Ye Feng, and with a deep punch on Ye Feng's shoulder, he said, "In the Illusory Realm, I was once injured by a spiritual beast. At the critical moment, I remembered the jade bottle you gave me. I crushed it and applied its contents to my body, ignoring the foul smell inside. To my surprise, it actually healed my wounds."

  Su Mu Bai also came to Ye Feng's side, looking at him with concern.

  Ye Feng had been waiting at the entrance of the Illusory Realm, but he hadn't come out from within his inner world. He instructed the monkey to stay quietly inside until they came out and reached a secluded place, where Ye Feng would naturally release him.

  Everyone has left the Illusory Realm, Ye Feng finally came out of his inner world, just about to leave the Illusory Realm, but heard Lei Wen and Yin Ren loudly scolding each other. Ye Feng became even less anxious, he was waiting for both people to finish their curses before coming out, then taking out these task items, this effect would be the best. A loud slap would land on the faces of the two people.

  It wasn't until he felt it was about right that Ye Feng came out.

  Just as Ye Feng came out, the entrance of the Illusory Realm, which was supposed to close at dusk, suddenly emitted a shocking sound.

  "Empty!" Then a flash of lightning flashed by, and the entrance to the Illusory Realm completely disappeared.

  The monks were stunned for a moment, and then they cheered and jumped up. The entrance also disappeared, which means that the monks who did not complete their tasks do not have to be forced into the fantasy realm.

  It's something for everyone to be happy about, lives are saved.

  However, they did not know that the Illusory Realm, as a small world for detaining monkeys, would disappear forever with the departure of the monkeys and would never appear again. It could only exist in the records of various sects as a legendary story.

  At the same time, all major sects are also saddened by the loss of their disciples. Many people have disappeared forever in the fantasy realm. This loss is the most tragic in history. Dozens of people died at the hands of the Fire Eagle Gang alone, which was entirely caused by Ye Feng. There were also many who died in the Mantis King's gathering place, which was also a disaster brought about by Ye Feng's provocation of the Mantis King. All the deceased cultivators had been influenced by Ye Feng.

  It wasn't until half a day later that the cultivators regained their composure. Since no one had completed the task, and none of the sects had gathered all the required items, there was no point in continuing with the ranking.

  The leaders of each sect gathered their disciples and were about to return to their respective sects.

  "Halt!" Ye Feng's loud shout drew everyone's attention back to him once again.

  "I'm telling you two elders, the time to fulfill the bet has arrived, how can you just leave like this? Are you trying to renege on your debt?" Ye Feng's voice was extremely loud, and everyone heard it clearly.

  "Yefeng, don't be presumptuous. If you hadn't brought it up, it would have been fine. Now that you mention it, everyone else hasn't completed their tasks, did you complete yours? Did you even fulfill the sect's task?" Leiwen glared at him angrily, thinking that this matter was already over, but Yefeng surprisingly didn't know better and still brought it up.

  "Yefeng, according to the rules, if you fail to complete your personal task during the trial, you will be sent to the Illusory Realm. Now that the Illusory Realm is closed, you're lucky to have escaped with your life, and yet you still dare to mention making a bet?" Yin Ren said loudly.

  "Heh heh, little brother, listen to your sister on this one, let's just drop it. After all, you managed to get out alive, and none of us were able to complete the task, so it's not like anyone really won or lost. You know what I mean?" Yu Siyao stepped forward, mediating, but clearly still speaking in favor of Ye Feng.

  "Sister, I appreciate your kindness, but Ye Feng isn't someone who doesn't know good from bad. This time, however, I really did win." Ye Feng looked very stubborn.

  Qiu Siyao furrowed her brow, this little guy was really stubborn, just like a donkey.

  "Yefeng, you said you won, what evidence do you have? Bring it out and let everyone see." Leiwu said.

  "Right, let's first see if you've completed your personal task. If not, then you're also a loser. Hurry up and fulfill the bet." Reacting to this, Yin Ren remembered Ye Feng's generous bet and decided not to let him off.

  Li Xincheng furrowed his brow, what is this madman trying to do, making trouble out of nothing, they had already gotten away with it, but he still wants to bring it up, isn't this walking into a dead end, you can't live if you're asking for trouble, Ye Feng had risked his life back then.

  "Haha." Ye Feng looked up at the sky and let out a long laugh.

  "Everyone, take a good look and let me be in charge. Don't let some people lose and refuse to admit defeat." Ye Feng said loudly.

  The crowd saw a lively scene and immediately surrounded the city in a circle, surrounding several people involved in the middle.

  Lei Wen and Yin Ren both felt that something was not quite right, but they also comforted themselves at the same time. One hundred and fifty disciples entered the Illusory Domain, no one had a siege task, and this first-hundred-and-fiftieth-ranked refining air middle-stage junior disciple would absolutely not be able to complete it.

  "Hurry up and take out the things you've got, so we can all have a look." The people from Zhong Lixia's family followed suit, cheering him on. They were also very dissatisfied with Ye Feng.

  In the realm of fantasy, Ye Feng made Zhong Liye Song lose face greatly, and Zhong Liye Song's injuries were very severe, it's possible that his future cultivation would be ruined. Zhong Liye Song was considered to be the next generation pillar of the Zhong Li family being cultivated.

  "Alright, let me show you what this is." As he spoke, Ye Feng took out a large pile of Demon Scorpion Inner Dan from his storage bag, numbering in the thousands, and arranged them on the ground in a tantalizing display.

  "Ah! So many demonic cores, did Ye Feng really kill all the demons in the entire Illusory Realm?!" an cultivator exclaimed.

  "My goodness, it's scary."

  It's a pleasure, suggest you collect it.
