Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 2685: Chapter 2684: Only Lin Dong Remains

Recalling the various strange phenomena encountered since entering this third stage, Lin Dong speculated that there might be some powerful illusion mechanism hidden here.

As for Tang Yun and Yun Ruoxian, they had evidently unknowingly fallen into this illusionary realm, mistaking each other for Lin Dong, enacting a farcical drama.

"I have to find a way to break this illusionary realm," Lin Dong thought to himself. He began to survey the surroundings, searching for possible clues.

The surroundings were enveloped in a misty haze. Trees and flowers appeared blurred, as if the entire world was wrapped in an invisible film, making it difficult to distinguish reality from illusion.

Suddenly, Lin Dong’s gaze was drawn to a peculiar stone tablet not far away.

The stone tablet was inscribed with ancient runes that emitted a faint glow, standing out conspicuously in the mist.

He hurried forward, carefully studying these runes.

"These runes... seem to be an ancient spell..." Lin Dong murmured to himself. Relying on some knowledge from ancient books, he began trying to decipher these runes.

"There’s witch text here, infused with witchcraft!" Lin Dong discovered that this illusionary realm was a pinnacle creation of ancient witchcraft combined with ancient illusion techniques. Its creator used profound knowledge of witch text as the foundation, supplemented by intricate psychological suggestions and space folding technology, to construct a world that was simultaneously real and illusory.

Here, mountains and rivers moved at will, the sun, moon, and stars were within reach, but every ray of light, every whisper of the wind hid secrets designed to mislead and bewilder.

Yun Ruoxian and Tang Yun, two women who should not have met, were now standing side by side on a grassy plain filled with blooming flowers. Around them, exotic flowers swayed gently in the breeze, each emitting a different colored light, weaving into flowing tapestries.

However, beneath this beauty lay unknown dangers. The air was permeated with a faint witchcraft aura, a mark left by the creator of the illusionary realm, disturbing their emotions and the flow of their inner Qi.

This caused them to be overwhelmed by desire, plunging into an ocean of longing.

If they couldn’t escape the illusion within a few hours, they would inevitably die from being consumed by desire.

At the moment, Lin Dong looked at them and saw they were already unclothed, intertwined.

She quickly shook her head, muttering, "No, I must break this illusion quickly, otherwise they will die!"

Lin Dong knew well that mere eyesight and conventional means were incapable of penetrating the barrier woven by witch text.

As he frowned deeply and was at a loss, an ancient and mysterious power quietly awakened within him—a residual spirit and soul of the Sovereign Witch, crossing the bounds of space and time to guide him.

"Observe with the heart, guide with intention, the secret of witch text lies in comprehension, not learning." The voice of the Sovereign Witch echoed in Lin Dong’s heart, like a bell tolling from ancient times, melodious and profound.

Led by this power, Lin Dong’s eyes gradually deepened, as if seeing through the essence of all things.

He began to examine this illusionary realm from a whole new perspective. The once chaotic lights and sounds slowly converged into flowing witch text symbols in his perception.

They, whether bright or dark, interwove into a vast network, sustaining the existence of the entire illusionary realm.

Lin Dong took a deep breath, focused his mind, and lightly tapped the void with his fingertip, chanting ancient and obscure witch rune spells.

With the incantation, the surrounding air seemed to tremble. The flowing witch symbols, as if responding to his summons, began to slowly reorganize, emitting dazzling light.

Amidst the light, Lin Dong’s figure gradually blurred, seemingly merging with the illusionary realm and then suddenly withdrawing, carrying an indescribable power.

Finally, with the dissipation of the last witch text, the barrier of the illusionary world collapsed with a boom,

at this moment, Tang Yun and Yun Ruoxian’s actions suddenly ceased, their gazes turning vacant as if awakening from a long dream.

Seeing themselves embraced in an incredible posture, their faces instantly flushed, and they quickly separated.

"Lin Dong, what... what happened to us?" Tang Yun’s voice carried a hint of shyness and confusion.

"You were both beguiled by this illusion," Lin Dong explained, pointing to the stone tablet, "These runes saved you. Fortunately, under the guidance of the Senior Sovereign Witch, I deciphered this illusion. Otherwise..."

Yun Ruoxian also walked over. At this moment, recalling everything that had happened in the illusion and noticing her current state of undress, her face turned as red as an apple.

She quickly turned around, retrieved a set of clothes from her spatial bag, and dressed instantly.

Tang Yun did the same.

After the two women dressed, they noticed a sudden glow on their bodies.

It was the light of transmission.

The two exchanged a glance, realizing they had failed the third stage!

However, thinking back to everything within the illusionary realm, being transmitted out now didn’t seem like such a bad thing.

At least, they didn’t have to continue facing Lin Dong awkwardly.

Tang Yun and Yun Ruoxian exchanged a smile, although the previous awkwardness still left them somewhat bashful, their hearts were now more closely bonded due to the shared crisis.

Meanwhile, they looked over at Lin Dong.

"Thank you, Lin Dong. If it weren’t for you, we might have died from being consumed by desire," Yun Ruoxian expressed gratitude.

Tang Yun also nodded, adding, "Lin Dong, we hope you can pass this third stage and receive the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique as a reward."

As soon as she finished speaking, the light on them grew even stronger, and they were then transmitted away.

After they were transmitted out, their figures reappeared at the entrance of the third stage.

There, Aidan, Crescent Wolf Emperor, and Tian Kong stood waiting.

Seeing Yun Ruoxian and Tang Yun appear, the three turned their attention to them.

The Crescent Wolf Emperor said, "You failed to pass the trial too?"

The two nodded.

Then, Crescent Wolf Emperor asked, "How did you fail?"

The two girls exchanged a glance, naturally embarrassed to recount everything that had transpired in the illusion of the third stage.

Yun Ruoxian changed the subject, saying, "Like you, we accidentally got caught. Fortunately, Lin Dong saved us, or we might have been reduced to two corpses by now."

Hearing this, the Crescent Wolf Emperor and Tian Kong nodded repeatedly, exclaiming, "The test of the third stage is truly enigmatic and unpredictable. A slight misstep and one falls into its trap."

"Luckily, we have Lin Dong, who saved us. In this case, it seems all four of us owe him a life."

Tang Yun nodded and then said, "I wonder if she can pass that third stage!"
