Fu Yang and Ming Ze were stuck for 4 hours on the gigantic room with golden decorations and that's about a day in the outside world.
Barely 2 hours had passed when Fu Yang was stucked inside the illusion, and then another hour of rest...
Total of 7 hours, however with the minutes, it should be around 8 hours. So 56 hours had passed in the real world...
If Fu Yang wanted to get out of the Mystic Realm during the day in the outside world, he would need to wait atleast 1 hour and half.
Having done calculating in his mind, Fu Yang returned towards where Ming Ze was.
For now, he would pass the time resting. If Ming Ze, finished cultivating earlier he could chat with him.
Without anything to do, he lay down on the grass and slept after setting up his alarm on his Energy Phone.
Not long after, a bright light started coming from Ming Ze. When all of that surrounded him, Fu Yang jolted awake by the sudden burst of light.
After jolting awake, Fu Yang rubbed his eyes, trying to adjust to the brilliance of Ming Ze's breakthrough.
Then, he looked at his Energy phone to check how much time had passed. Seeing that only 45 minutes had passed, Fu Yang resumed watching Ming Ze's breakthrough.
He watched with amazement as Ming Ze's aura expanded and intensified, indicating a significant advancement in his cultivation. Feeling the pressure coming from him, Fu Yang deduced that he finally reached the 2nd Nascent Realm. A minor realm higher than his.
As the light slowly subsided, Ming Ze's eyes met Fu Yang's, and a broad smile formed on his face. "Fu Yang, I did it! I made a breakthrough!" Ming Ze exclaimed with excitement.
"Congratulations!" Fu Yang replied, genuinely happy for this stranger who accompanied him in this Mystic Realm. "That's incredible news! Maybe now we can find a way out of this Mystic Realm together."
Ming Ze nodded, still feeling the surge of power from his breakthrough. "Absolutely! Let's give it a try after I stabilize my realm."
Fu Yang gave an understanding nod and waited for Ming Ze to finish stabilizing. After 30 minutes, Ming Ze opened his eyes again. "I haven't completely finished stabilizing my realm, but I think it is enough for now."
With the go signal of Ming Ze, the two stood up and Fu Yang guided Ming towards the Exit that he had found earlier.
"I don't want to scare you, but... The exit is on the inner parts of the Arsh Forest. Once we get out, we may encounter numerous 4-star and above Monster Beasts."
Hearing the words of Fu Yang, Ming Ze sensed an ominous feeling. Was the true danger of the Mystic Realm finally coming? Though, throughout his stay in this Mystic Realm he hadn't encountered any real danger yet.
Reaching the end of the Forest, they soon arrived in front of the cave with an Exit Sign.
For a while, Ming Ze found it strange as he looked at the sign. The two of them searched for the exit when they were stuck inside the giant white room, but just coming out of the forest of Celterre they found a cave with an Exit sign.
Wasn't their whole journey inside the Mystic Realm strange? As if someone was controlling everything behind.
As they walked deep in the cave, they soon reached the end. Before turning the knob, Fu Yang reminded Ming Ze once more of the dangers outside.
"Remember, be silent. Don't do anything that attract Monster Beasts. Otherwise, the two of us will be dead."
"I understand."
Getting a positive response from Ming Ze, Fu Yang started opening the door as slowly as possible to avoid making any unnecessary sounds.
When the door was now finally wide open, rather than the view of the Arsh Forest, the two of them found looking at the same gigantic white room with golden decorations.
"Fu Yang, you said this would be the exit…Why are we back again in the same white room?"
Being questioned by Ming Ze, Fu Yang found himself flabbergasted. He also don't know what was happening. Him going out in the inner part of the Arsh Forest was yet another illusion?
Why was he affected all the time?
"Ehem!"
The two of them jolted to their place as they heard a cough coming inside. Fear started arising inside Ming Ze, were they going to face the boss immediately without even battling against any mobs?
Was this an only boss monster Mystic Realm?
As they searched through the whole room in order to find where the cough was coming from, they soon saw a young man looking like Fu Yang and a green robed man with pointy ears.
"Welcome! Fu Yang and Ming Ze…?"
As if the young man was confirming his identity, Ming Ze nodded. "Yes! My name is Ming Ze."
With the two of them busy with Ming Ze, Fu Yang carefully took his Aptitude Seeking Mirror from his Spatial Ring.
Name: Elvian Mondie
Age: Unknown
Aptitude Value: Unknown
Name: Illusion Dragon
Age: Unknown
Aptitude Value: Unknown
'Unknown values… this is my first time encountering one.'
With a baffled face, Fu Yang carefully put his Aptitude Seeking Mirror back in his Spatial Ring.
"Who… who are you?"
Without taking off his eyes towards the man dressed in a green robed, Ming Ze courageously asked. That man looked familiar to him for some reason.
Was he an acquaintance? Or a stranger he casually met?
"You do not need to know what am I to you yet, however, let me tell you my name. I am Elvian Mondie, the current king of the Mondie Forest."
Hearing the words from the mouth of the King of Mondie Forest, Fu Yang was shocked. Wasn't he the father of Shen Zhen? The true identity of the person right beside him, Ming Ze? Should he tell him or… not?
At least for now, a question he had been thinking before had finally been answered. The King of Mondie Forest knew that the one killed on the Rubia Country was just an impostor.
While the real one was still alive. That's why no Civil Wars will happen. Fortunately, he had save him front the underground sewers, otherwise Fu Yang didn't know what implications may it have caused.
Having avoided an impending Civil War, Fu Yang let out a loud sigh.
