Chapter 56 - Chapter 56: Returning to reality

So, the ''god'' turned this power into a silver thunderbolt and threw it into reality, hitting Li Xiu, who was holding an umbrella. The black umbrella was nothing special, but this power relied on the umbrella's shape and was attached to it.

Ancient treasures are not easily shared with others, and Li Xiu found it hard to understand the actions of this so-called ''god'', but thinking that it was of low intelligence made him feel at ease.

The power of whales is difficult for people to attain, but their wisdom is far from being comparable to that of humans. Maybe that's the reason.

When Li Xiu found out that this world was illusory, he still couldn't help feeling a little panicked. He was afraid that all his godly martial arts were nothing but dreamlike bubbles and that once he returned to reality, he would be nothing but a normal person, with nothing left but his mental experiences.

But after the root scene of it passed, many fragments of information about the illusory world appeared in Li Xiu's head, allowing him to learn more.

At this point, everything was indeed illusory, but when he left this world, he would infuse the essence of this world into his body and be able to turn the illusory into the real, making himself truly real through the illusion of the world.

Illusions come from reality and can also turn into reality. There are many other important points.

The illusory world is created by people's thoughts and minds, and it takes reaching a certain level to create an illusory world based on works of reality. The essence of the illusory world is related to the gathering of thoughts and minds. The more people who know about it, the more the illusory world's energy will be concentrated and strong.

Once the illusory world is born, it will continue to cycle, with the plot constantly repeating. This is also the foundation of the existence of the illusory world. If he can break the plot, he can cause the collapse of the illusory world, and the "power" can infuse the essence of this illusory world into Li Xiu's body or into an object, making it real.

The greatest surprise for Li Xiu is that if he dies in the illusory world, he will only lose a small, unnoticeable amount of spiritual energy, which is a form of immortality.

The slightly troublesome thing is that if he dies, if he wants to gain something, he will have to return to this illusory world of death, and everything he obtained in this illusory world will disappear, returning to when he first entered it.

After understanding the most important things, Li Xiu calmed down and decided to stay in this world until he became powerful enough, before leaving.

Now, Li Xiu feels that it's about time for him to leave this world, staying here any longer would be pointless, it's better to take the time to explore other worlds.

Li Xiu stands up, leaves the dragon throne, pushes open the palace gates, looks at the vast world in front of him, and his eyes inadvertently grip his left hand. The ink-colored umbrella-shaped tattoo on his body shines brightly and instantly covers the entire world.

In a daze, Li Xiu feels as if he has been gone for a long time, but also as if it was just a moment. When he comes to his senses, he finds that he has returned to reality.

Holding an old, black umbrella, Li Xiu stands in the dark, rainy night, somewhat dazed, looking around. A feeling of being disconnected from the world fills his mind.

What makes him feel real is that his body is now as hard as black iron, with a strength of more than ten tons, and the Nine Yang Divine Art in his dantian and meridians is still running on its own.

Secondly, Li Xiu is holding an old, modern black umbrella, but he is wearing a black Xuan Nine Dragon Robe, which further proves that all of this is not illusory.

Li Xiu took a deep breath, raised the umbrella and looked at the familiar but unfamiliar night sky and the lights upstairs. He felt a mix of emotions, and walked towards his home holding the umbrella.

He spent several years in the illusory world, but because the illusory world is different from reality, the reality probably only took a few minutes.

Li Xiu already knew that one hour in reality is about ten years in the illusory world, so he was not too surprised.

Opening the door, taking a step, turning on the light, Li Xiu looked around and saw his simple home again. There was no great emotion on his face. He flicked his left hand, and the black umbrella quietly turned into a black mist and returned to his wrist.

Taking off the bulky black dragon robe, Li Xiu changed back into his normal clothes and sat on an old sofa, lost in thought as he considered how to live now that everything had changed.

The next morning, Li Xiu walked on the street wearing loose athletic clothes.

The streets were bustling with cars and people, tall buildings and shops lining the streets. This scene was something he hadn't seen in a long time, but he didn't really miss it. His aspirations were no longer here, so he just walked as usual.

After a few minutes, Li Xiu got off the bus and the first thing he saw was an antique store, with a grand and luxurious ancient look, named Kuang Ying Zhai. It was quite famous in Hongdu.

Li Xiu entered the store and was greeted by a smiling saleswoman. She glanced at him in his ordinary brand athletic wear but her smile did not fade. "I'm not sure if this gentleman is here to look or to sell something?"

Li Xiu looked at her again, and from the positive reviews online, it seemed that the store wasn't a fake one.

"I came to sell some items, like jewel and gem objects." Li Xiu said calmly, without any obvious emotion on his face.

The saleswoman still smiled and asked, "Can you show me the jewel or gems first? I have some knowledge of appraisal, and there are many types of stones, I need to take you to see the right gemologist."

It was clear that her words meant that she wanted to see if the items Li Xiu had were worth bringing into the back room, but her attitude remained friendly and polite, not causing anyone to feel angry.

The saleswoman was also curious. This person looked composed and although he was wearing cheap sportswear, there was an indescribable nobility about him. He was there to sell jewels and gems but had nothing in his hands. There was nothing on his neck or hands, and he had nothing to show where he put the things he wanted to sell.

Li Xiu paused for a moment, knowing that this was a necessary step. He didn't have to make things difficult for the clerk and reached into his pocket to show her something.

The female clerk looked at Li Xiu as he casually reached into his jacket pocket to take something out. She couldn't help but wrinkle her forehead slightly in confusion.

Is this person aware that the things he's bringing are not worth much and is doing this on purpose? Or is he truly this carefree? She had seen customers come to sell things before, but none of them had ever behaved like this. No matter what, they at least put the things they were selling in a wooden box, wrapped in multiple layers of cloth, held tightly in their pockets.

Peng Hui couldn't help but shake her head, thinking to herself that this person wasn't casual at all, it was as if he was reaching into his pocket to take out a piece of candy. But when Li Xiu took something out and placed it in the palm of his hand for her to see, she couldn't help but gape and stare, her eyes wide with surprise.

Peng Hui had been working in this antique shop for several years, and she had seen and handled hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars worth of antiques and relics. It was rare for something to surprise her anymore.

But what Li Xiu had pulled out had captivated her attention, she could not make out how valuable it was, but it was certainly unique and unparalleled, a piece of jade like no other! People are naturally drawn to beauty and they have a inexplicable desire to possess it and this is especially true for women.

As Peng Hui came to her senses, she realized her slight slip in composure and quickly gestured to Li Xiu, "Sir, please come this way. Please be careful with the jade in your hand, don't drop it."
