The Strongest Prodigy Doctor

Chapter 787 - 887: Illusion Realm of the Illusory Fire

After Ye Tianfan returned to his residence, he took a good rest for the night. After all, only Ye Tianfan had come back, and since there were no other matters, Ye Tianfan slept until he woke up naturally!While sleeping, Ye Tianfan had a dream.

Logically speaking, cultivators like Ye Tianfan should not be dreaming, but Ye Tianfan still had a dream!

He dreamed that he returned to his original world and had a child with Qin Ruomeng, and the child even recognized Long Yuqing as her godmother.

Then, because Qin Corporation was too busy, the child was left for Ye Tianfan to take care of.

Ye Tianfan took care of the child, accompanying her on shopping trips and playing with her.

When the child grew up and was about to get married, Ye Tianfan suddenly realized that he was still young, while Qin Ruomeng and Long Yuqing had already aged. This revelation filled Ye Tianfan with dread.

Ye Tianfan desperately tried to recall the cultivation techniques he practiced in the cultivation world, intending to pass them on to Qin Ruomeng and the others.

However, no matter how hard Ye Tianfan tried to remember, he couldn't recall anything, and as time passed, Qin Ruomeng and Long Yuqing grew older.

Eventually, when their lives came to an end, Ye Tianfan still looked like he was in his twenties.

Ye Tianfan stood silently in front of the graves of Qin Ruomeng and Long Yuqing, and beside him stood his daughter, who was over fifty and resembled Ye Tianfan's mother.

At this moment, Ye Tianfan was on the verge of collapse. As his relatives gradually departed, his descendants also continued passing down through many generations, and they were no longer related to Ye Tianfan. The generational gap had become so vast that they grew increasingly distant, and eventually, they were unwilling to acknowledge the existence of such an ancient ancestor!

Moreover, Ye Tianfan didn't understand why this world viewed his longevity as something completely normal. No one saw Ye Tianfan as a monster; they just found him slightly bothersome!

As Ye Tianfan's relatives and friends departed one by one, he became increasingly reclusive and out of touch with the times!

On a certain day, Ye Tianfan sighed deeply, then looked up at the sun and said, "Illusory Fire, I didn't expect the aftereffects of using you would be so great!"

After Ye Tianfan finished speaking, the entire world shattered like a piece of glass, scattering "crackling" into pieces!

Ye Tianfan's consciousness returned to reality, yet he didn't rush to wake up. Instead, he let his awareness delve into his Dantian, looking at the Illusory Fire, and he said with some trepidation, "Illusory Fire, Illusory Fire, I didn't expect that using you to your full potential would have such a great cost!"

It's crucial to understand, if Ye Tianfan hadn't awakened in time, that illusion realm would have persisted indefinitely, slowly eroding Ye Tianfan's consciousness until he would have been eternally lost in that realm, even if one day he did awaken and break through the illusion.

By that time, his consciousness would have been entirely worn away, leading him to become either catatonic or a new individual without memory!

Additionally, Ye Tianfan realized that the reason he ended up in this situation was because he forcibly used the Illusory Fire. Since the Illusory Fire had already merged with the Cold Fire, it no longer belonged to the realm of mere mortal fire but had become an Immortal fire.

Once it became an Immortal fire, anyone attempting to use it with a mortal body had to pay a price. The cost wouldn't appear at fixed times but rather randomly. Of course, this price didn't manifest when Ye Tianfan was awake; it arose while he was unconscious!

This price isn't a standard consequence of using the Illusory Fire. Instead, it's solely because Ye Tianfan, with a mortal body, used an Immortal fire, resulting in this Immortal-mortal consequence!

If Ye Tianfan wanted to avoid this cost, he would need to ascend to the Immortal Realm. Meaning, Ye Tianfan's power had to reach the peak of Taichu, successfully pass through the Celestial Tribulation, ascend to the Immortal Realm, and then use the Illusory Fire without consequence!

Another way would be to transform his body into an immortal body, meaning whether or not Ye Tianfan ascended to the Immortal Realm wouldn't matter, as long as his body became an immortal body. He would then be able to endure the Immortal fire without aftereffects!

In fact, Ye Tianfan wasn't aware of another method already available to him, which was to ensure that the spiritual power used to activate the Illusory Fire didn't circulate within his body. In other words, as long as the spiritual power of the Illusory Fire didn't extensively traverse his internal body, it wouldn't fully draw Ye Tianfan into the illusion realm!

Currently, Ye Tianfan had an extra magical treasure for spiritual power storage. In this way, when using the Illusory Fire, Ye Tianfan could withstand minimal cost and unleash its full power!

For Ye Tianfan to release the Illusory Fire, it surely originated from within himself, as the Illusory Fire resided in Ye Tianfan's body. Thus, its release would involve passing through his internal body briefly, and once released, the required spiritual power wouldn't depend on Ye Tianfan's internal power, but on the spiritual power stored in that magical treasure!

Of course, there's a downside to this: utilizing a mortal treasure to harness an Immortal fire would severely damage that spiritual power storage magical treasure!

Not only was Ye Tianfan unaware of this, but even others didn't possess this knowledge either. If one were to consult an Immortal, they might understand what's happening, but the cultivators of the mortal realm had never experienced such events, lacking any Immortal Realm objects, so they were entirely uninformed about this aspect!

Ye Tianfan wasn't aware of these facts, he only knew that if he continued to frequently use the Illusory Fire, it would lead to him being pulled into the Illusory Fire's realm repeatedly. If Ye Tianfan could awaken in time, like before, though spending many years in the illusion, he still managed to regain consciousness, and the hundreds or thousands of years in the illusion amounted to just one night in reality.

If he couldn't wake up, Ye Tianfan would be eternally lost in the illusion, where hundreds or thousands of years equate to just one night in reality. Then, how long would it be in the illusion if he never wakes up?

Upon waking, Ye Tianfan spent several minutes to regain his composure, and since it was an Illusion Technique, those memories from the illusion gradually began to blur. Naturally, this blurring is a protective measure for Ye Tianfan's brain!

If they didn't gradually blur, they would slowly amalgamate with other memories, causing other memories to become indistinct!

After all, for Ye Tianfan regarding this matter, other memories belonged to centuries ago, and these added hundreds or thousands of years of memories were purely superfluous, contributing only a few decades of worth!
