ust sit here, grab some melon seeds and brew a pot of tea, munching while you watch,” Fang Yu smiled faintly. “The situation in this Holy Fruit competition should be quite interesting, indeed worth wa...Hearing the scream, Fang Yu's eyes narrowed and he immediately turned to look at Xiaoguang.

The little ball was so scared that its eyes were covered.

"Xiaqiu, where is the person you were talking about" Fang Yu asked.

“There, over there, just ahead…” The ball covered one eye with its hand and pointed forward with the other.

Fan Yu followed her gaze and saw a large number of trees on the left side of the road.

These towering trees, with their trunks shimmering in a multitude of colors, were breathtakingly beautiful.

But at a glance, I didn't see the person Xiaoball mentioned.

"Right there, big brother, right there..." Xiaogua hugged Fang Yu's leg tightly, closed her eyes, and pointed in that direction.

Fan Yu frowned, staring in the direction the ball pointed. His gaze pierced through a dozen or so trees, but he saw no sign of anyone.

He lowered his gaze to the ball, its frightened expression was definitely not an act.

Could it be…

Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up!

He suddenly realized that within this forest area, the sights visible to the naked eye were completely different from those seen with divine sense!

Fang Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately used his divine sense to probe the direction indicated by the ball.

Then, his eyes changed.

Through divine sense exploration, he truly saw a figure.

Right there in the direction the ball is pointing, and not behind the tree, standing by the road!

It was indeed a figure, cloaked and hooded, head bowed so as to conceal its face.

But looking at his body, he seemed very thin and frail.

He just stood there, motionless.

“This area, my spiritual sense should have already scanned it before. Why didn't I find this figure!” Fang Yu's heart trembled slightly, “Could it be that at that time, this figure hadn't appeared… did it wait until we got closer before appearing”

At this thought, Fang Yu's eyes hardened.

He rubbed the little ball's head and said, "I'll go take a look."

"Brother, I, I'm scared..." Xiaoguan trembled.

"Then just follow me." Fang Yu said, "Don't worry, I'll protect you."

The little ball stopped talking and just hugged Fang Yu's leg tightly, following him step by step forward.

As Fang Yu approached, the figure remained motionless, standing still like a statue.

And he himself did not release the slightest trace of abnormality.

It doesn't look like a living creature.

Fang Yu quickly walked up to the figure, only half a meter away.

The little ball trembled all over, its eyes tightly shut, not daring to even breathe.

While Fang Yu narrowed his eyes and reached out directly to the figure.

This figure remained motionless.

"Zzzzt!"

Fang Yu directly grabbed the figure's hood and threw it open.

Only then did the figure reveal its true form.

Fāng Yǔ's face changed slightly, a hint of astonishment in his eyes.

It is definitely not a living creature.

...but a scarecrow built of twigs! ...

It was just a figure cloaked in darkness, barely visible at a glance.

No wonder he looks so thin and stiff.

Furthermore, the construction of this fake person is also very simple, with only a basic human frame and not even a head.

"What is this thing Why would it appear here, and what is its purpose" Fang Yu frowned.

"Brother..." Xiaqiu was still in extreme fear, trembling all over.

"Xiaoqiu, it's a fake person, don't be afraid." Fangyu said.

“A mannequin” Xiaoqiu opened one eye a crack and glanced at the figure before him.

Then, he saw the wooden frame exposed after Fang Yu tore open her cloak.

"Huh It's really a fake person!" Xiaoguan was a bit dumbfounded.

"It's a fake person, but the timing and location of its appearance are very strange." Fang Yu frowned and looked around.

And, this phantom can only be seen with one's divine sense, but cannot be seen with the naked eye.

But Fang Yu's hand moved, and he actually touched the scarecrow, tearing off its cloak.

So, the sights probed by consciousness are the true ones

Is what we see with our own eyes an illusion!

"That's right, Xiaoguo..." Fang Yu looked at Xiaoguo and asked, "Xiaoguo, are you now directly seeing this fake person with your own eyes"

"Yes, yes..." Little Ball replied.

"You didn't release your divine sense" Fang Yu frowned and asked again.

"Consciousness...I wouldn't." Xiaoqiu replied with wide, big eyes.

...will not...

That is to say, what the ball sees with its eyes is the same as what Fang Yu sees with his divine sense

To illustrate this point, Fang Yu pointed to a tree ahead.

If he looked with his own eyes, the tree would be shimmering with a blue light.

And with divine consciousness, this tree shimmered with a green glow.

"Xiaoqiu, what color is the tree's light now" Fang Yu asked.

"...it's green." replied the ball.

"It seems to be true. The little ball saw it with its own eyes, just as I saw it with my divine sense." Fang Yu looked at the dummy in front of him and thought to himself, "That means within this forest area, the scene I see with my divine sense is the real one, while what I see with my eyes is an illusion."

After reaching this conclusion, Fang Yu suddenly remembered the tree that grew golden fruit he and Xiaoqiu had seen shortly after entering the forest!

At that time, Fang Yu could see the tree with his own eyes!

If what we see with our eyes is false, then that tree should also not exist.

But the little ball also saw the tree, and both of them ate the fruit that the tree produced.

"What's going on Is that tree not capable of distinguishing between real and fake" Fang Yu scratched his head, his thoughts a little muddled.

"Master, this grove must be a place between the real and the unreal."

At this moment, the voice of Glacial Tears sounded.

Fang Yu was overjoyed.

What he enjoyed most was the moment when Lihuo Jade and Jihankang's Tears solved the mysteries.

"What is the virtual-real domain" Fang Yu asked.

“Just like the boundless domain you entered on Daxianxing, it belongs to a special category of domains.” Jihan Zilei replied, “Therefore, the Xu Shi Domain, just like the Boundless Domain, has extremely special laws within its entire domain. These laws are not compatible with the laws of the outside world.”

"True and false, true and false... that is to say, in this domain, there exist both the real and the unreal" Fang Yu narrowed his eyes. "Just like the two worlds I've discovered with my physical eyes and divine sense, the physical eyes see falsehoods while the divine sense perceives truth..."

"Wrong, master, the virtuality within the virtual realm is not opposed, nor is it divided into two sides," Jihan Zilei said calmly.

"What does that mean" Fang Yu was stunned.

"Within the realm of illusion and reality, truth and falsehood are completely intertwined," explained Crystalline Tears. "It is a state where there is reality within illusion, and illusion within reality. Everything you see exists between illusion and reality, with no complete truth or complete falsehood."

"Everything exists between the real and the unreal, that is to say, between what can be seen with the eyes and what can be perceived by the mind..." Fang Yu's heart skipped a beat as he said.

“Yes, the distinction between reality and illusion cannot be defined by what can be seen with the eyes or perceived with the mind.”
