A Man Like None Other

“Axel, Reflection Cliff is merely a room. But staying in there is no easy task. If one could focus on cultivating by staying in there, everyone would flock to it. There’s an aura within Reflection Cliff that could invade one’s spiritual sense, causing pain to the person in there. Moreover, one’s spiritual sense would have to endure all kinds of suffering as if they were truly happening in reality! You must be careful. Although three days aren’t long and won’t endanger your life, it will undoubtedly take a toll on your body and mind. You’ll need some time to recuperate.”

Judd cautioned Jared about Reflection Cliff, urging him not to let his guard down.

“However, you don’t have to be overly anxious. With your current capabilities, spending three days in Reflection Cliff won’t put you in danger,” Dario consoled.

Jared nodded. Then, he followed the two elders to Reflection Cliff.

Reflection Cliff was nothing more than a slightly dilapidated hut. A sign hung from the eaves of it, bearing its name.

Pushing the door open, Jared stepped in. The interior was almost bare, with nothing but a grimy-looking straw mat.

“This place seems like it hasn’t been occupied for quite some time.”

Jared scanned the surroundings, then settled himself on the straw mat.

Three days were fleeting for a cultivator. Once the cultivator entered the state of cultivation, time ceased to be an issue.

But no sooner had Jared settled down, closed his eyes, and circulated the spiritual energy within him to cultivate than he abruptly sensed an aura in his consciousness field, and it continually condensed.

It didn’t originate from within his body, and he had no control over it. However, Judd had already forewarned him, so Jared did not panic.

This must be the aura used by Reflective Cliff of Violet Flame Sect to manipulate the consciousness field. Thus, he did not intentionally resist it.

As the aura flooded his consciousness field, intense heat swamped him.

When he opened his eyes, he was astounded to find an imposing mountain before him. The entire mountain was ablaze in a fiery red hue, reminiscent of a mountain engulfed in flames.

The place he sat faced a sheer cliff. Carved into the cliff were the words Reflection Cliff.

At that moment, Jared finally understood the origin of Reflection Cliff’s name. It turned out that once a person entered the room, he would be led to the base of a cliff for real.

As he gazed at Reflection Cliff before him, waves of flames suddenly surged forth from the top of the towering mountain like a flood.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

He wanted to dodge, but he simply couldn’t avoid them.

In no time, he was engulfed by the flames.

For a moment, the intense burning sensation caused him unbearable agony. He hastily used extremus frost flame to counteract the searing heat.

But no matter how much he resisted, it was to no avail. It was as if extremus frost flame had lost its inherent frost energy.

“W-What’s going on here?”

Jared was utterly shocked.

“This is an illusion, so your extremus frost flame is naturally useless. Everything you see and feel now is dominated by your spiritual sense. Since your consciousness field is being controlled, you will experience whatever the other party wants you to experience,” Vermilion Demon Lord explained slowly.

Only then did Jared understand that he was probably still in the dilapidated hut at that very moment. It was just that his consciousness was being controlled, leading to the sight before him.

Left with no choice, he could only brace himself against the scorching flames. Devoured by the heat, he felt intensely restless. It was as if he was on the verge of losing his sanity.

“Quick, look! Look what’s on the cliff wall!” Vermilion Demon Lord suddenly prompted.

With his brows furrowed, Jared glanced at the cliff, only to see that the only thing on there was the words Reflection Cliff. There was absolutely nothing else.

“There’s nothing. What did you see?” Jared asked in confusion.

“A technique! It’s a cultivation technique! Calm down and try looking with your heart,” Vermilion Demon Lord urged.
