Chapter 10, The Ancient Existence

A fleeting thought

It is still alive!

Black Cat

Now, it is time to test its limits... It must not be allowed to fall into a deep slumber and extinguish itself... Taking advantage of its most vulnerable moment...

Meow meow meow

What the hell is this creature

The death of such a creature would indeed be a tremendous loss; the effects brought about by the illusionary card are truly extraordinary

Lu Ming felt a hint of panic, yet also a sense of anticipation

Hello

If this fellow is in a deep sleep, he is likely extremely weak, making this the best time to take action; otherwise, once he recovers, one might not even know how they will meet their demise

So, there is an additional cat inside me

This ... ...

Lu Ming felt an overwhelming sense of terror descending upon him

It is a cat

What place is this

died

As for the harm

I think having someone to help may allow you to recover a bit faster

The original illusion of this black cat has been shattered, so it needs a place to sleep, and its own illusion serves as its resting place, thus it will never eliminate itself

Emotionally, he did not want to communicate with this guy at all, after all, whether it was a cat or not, being able to jump out from other illusions was inherently terrifying

Lu Ming's consciousness emerged in the sea of awareness

Meow meow meow meow meow meow meow

shake one's head

Lu Ming's hands trembled slightly

A sigh escaped Lu Ming

Moreover

What a pity

Is it extremely tired?

The illusion card is merely a copy of the illusion

Lu Ming looked seriously at the black cat: "Meow?"

What these actually are

Therefore

However ... ...

The mysterious creature suddenly opened its eyes

He looked around

If I am in danger, I hope you can lend a hand occasionally

How could there be living creatures appearing in such a place

Just

Boom

Lu Ming asked cautiously

When Lu Ming woke up, what he saw was this scene

It has actually come out

In fact, this sea of consciousness is quite small, only the size of a small bedroom, with a black cat lying in the middle and Lu Ming standing beside it, essentially facing each other

Because this organism has changed its posture, it is now clearer to observe.

A hand gently stroked down the body of the black cat

I have no ill intentions; I merely hope that my cultivation will not affect you. If there is anything you need, you may contact me in advance.

Are you so mischievous? Does your true self know about it

The energy upheaval caused by the activation of the fragment is not worth mentioning; just a mere one-tenth of a fragment is actually capable of activating an illusion. What level of card is this, after all

Lu Ming pondered for a moment

Subconscious

Lu Ming sighed repeatedly

Although it appears to be so perfect

Hoo.

The terrifying aura descended once more, and the black cat instantly arched its body, its fur bristling, as a mysterious and ancient power swept through the sea of consciousness

Lu Ming thought seriously for a moment. It is said that high-level beings are very intelligent, so...

Black Cat

... ...

Lu Ming pondered

Lu Ming sighed

His body flickered slightly

Then ... ...

Having tried countless languages without any response, only the sound of a meow can awaken it. Therefore, is it indeed a feline creature?

One million words are omitted here

Indeed

Accompanied by an angry roar

Especially

The dim sky

But thinking about its origin—Little Yellow Card, Lu Ming couldn't help but gasp in shock

He really cannot understand how the creatures in the illusion can still run around

Is the taste of the population so strong now

And now

Lu Ming thought of this

Lu Ming attempted to greet.

The fractured world

Lu Ming said earnestly

Black Cat : `` ? ? ? ''

He had never imagined that living beings would actually appear in this special little world

It seems that some ancient existence has awakened in this moment, but he quickly realizes that this is merely an illusion brought about by the mysterious creature in the幻境.

Are you asleep again

Lu Ming felt a sense of regret

Alright

This thing

Lu Ming: "... ..."

Lu Ming forcefully steadied his emotions and looked at the mysterious creature before him

Lu Ming looked up and, indeed, the cracks surrounding this illusion began to spread rapidly, indicating that the fragments supporting this illusion could no longer hold up.

Can you understand what I am saying

Ka!

Hello

Here, it is actually the illusion activated by that fragment

Illusion

Illusion

This is not a minor yellow card at all

... ...

I am currently safe

In this shattered little world, there exists a singular intact place, a soft cushion, upon which seems to nestle a small creature.

In my impression, it seems that I activated that fragment, causing an energy upheaval

Lu Ming's eyes suddenly widened

How is that possible

Although it appears so luxurious

You may need a place to recover in sleep, so this is the choice made here

It's done

Ka!

Um ... ...

Lu Ming cautiously approached, but the creature remained curled up on the mat, sleeping without any reaction, looking very much like a dead cat

He is a man who has watched over 700 episodes of Naruto! There is a powerful creature within him, and in the early stages, he can explode at any time, completely unafraid of death

Still!

The black cat's gaze finally showed a hint of change, and Lu Ming took a glance, seemingly understanding; that proud little look was now filled with disdain

It is best to reach an agreement

Awake

Damn it

Return to reality

Boom

Lu Ming was ecstatic

The entire world resembles glass on the verge of shattering, covered in cracks, with countless incomprehensible runes inscribed in the void, exuding an air of mystery

Living things

A mysterious creature has appeared here, and it seems to still be asleep. It even brought along the soft cushion beneath it!

It closely resembles a slightly larger long-haired cat, although its entire coat of black fur is full of texture and exceptionally refined, far surpassing all the cats that Lu Ming has ever seen in terms of stunning beauty

Remarkably, its eyes are golden, exuding an air of majesty

Do not let any of them go unpunished

Lu Ming said

A black cat

Lu Ming vaguely perceived a flash of black light passing through his body

Therefore

Cautiously walking over, it was indeed true that the creature had already lost its breath

Although the first encounter was somewhat unexpected, it is finally possible to communicate. The black cat did not take any action, which at least indicates that the other party is not the kind of person filled with malice

Then

This is truly terrifying, isn't it

It seems that learning to meow like a cat is hopeless

Brush

A faint cracking sound was heard

The entire world shattered with a deafening roar, and the illusion before my eyes vanished in an instant

When it made this movement, Lu Ming instinctively thought of the Norwegian Forest cat he had raised in his previous life, which was also a large cat, had golden eyes, and a beautiful coat

Lu Ming thought for a moment, perhaps it was the tone that was incorrect

Lu Ming suddenly awoke

% # @ # ? ''

Riku was silent for a moment, feeling somewhat foolish for what he had just done. He then cautiously looked at the creature, took a deep breath, and said, "Meow"

Rokumyou's heart was greatly shaken

There, in the depths of the Sea of Consciousness, where there was originally only the original card, unexpectedly appeared a black creature! It was indeed the one seen earlier in the illusion.

The black cat lazily stretched and yawned, clearly indicating that it wanted Lu Ming to leave quickly

At the very moment of return

Since he has reached an agreement with this black cat, he can now rest assured

Lu Ming felt a tingling sensation on his scalp

The one that has died is merely a replicated illusionary creature; its original form should still be alive

Copy creature from the Illusion card

It is also possible that the other party needs a place to rest

Of course

Damn

Lu Ming suddenly looked within himself, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat

This is not an existence that he can provoke at all

The sea of consciousness is enveloped in silence, with no feedback received

Is there a language barrier?

Um...

Very small

Is this an illusion

Indeed

Get up

Lu Ming has a bit of a headache

Hehe

Brush!

Clearly

However, he rationally understands that he must resolve this matter as soon as possible

Thus

At least

Oh, no, black cat

At the first moment, my gaze was focused on the center of the illusion

The Sea of Consciousness is the most important place for card makers, and it serves as the foundation for all practitioners; nearly all energy cores are located in such a place

It is like this

However, it is still just a cat

Indeed, exceptional individuals often possess peculiarities

The cold gaze of the black cat swept over Lu Ming, a look he was quite familiar with. Lu Ming recalled for a moment, ah, that was the look of disdain.

The black cat has evidently forgotten how stunning it is

After all

If I were to die, you would still need to find a new place, would you not

Rokumyo had such a thought flash through his mind

This small world was created for the existence of this being; however, due to the shattering of the illusion and the collapse of the world, only remnants remain, and this being perished along with it

Rokumyo spoke again

The black cat's indifferent gaze finally softened, perhaps because it noticed that Lu Ming's attitude was quite good and he did not make any excessive demands, and it actually nodded slightly

That moment

Lu Ming repeatedly waved his hands in front of it, and the sea of consciousness remained very quiet.

This is a small world composed of illusions

Strangely, he unexpectedly let out a sigh of relief

Before one's eyes

Incredible!

This place is actually quite simple, after all, Lu Ming is merely a one-star card master and does not understand how to cultivate the sea of consciousness. Originally, it was only meant to store the original cards, so this is just a small space, not even as large as an average bedroom

Meow!!!

It is the truth

Hello

Once an incident occurs, there is no doubt it will be fatal

In an instant, Lu Ming's thoughts raced like lightning, imagining a certain senior master who, due to a peculiar and unconventional hobby that was not accepted by the world, created this ultra-high-level illusion, specifically designed into cards to satisfy his unique desires that could not be revealed to others

It was a small creature, its black fur rich in texture, appearing quite smooth. Its body was slightly plump, exuding a sense of lazy elegance, which surprisingly evoked a sense of astonishment. Wait... astonishment? Plump?

He knows that he is facing the greatest crisis in history

Lu Ming let out a bitter laugh

Riku Mune cast aside these chaotic thoughts

Thus, he stood there very carefully and cautiously, observing this creature for quite a while, and then arrived at a very important conclusion

The cards on the machine have indeed been destroyed

Lu Ming also does not wish to have such a ticking time bomb within himself at all times

It seems

This entity is purely formed from thought; at this moment, his emotional fluctuations are too great, and his thoughts are unstable, causing his body to naturally appear slightly blurred

Riku is very nervous

......

The mysterious creature has already awakened

Too dangerous
