The Eerie Immortal Path: Begin by Devouring Fairy Flesh-Chapter 99 – The truth of Human Emperor City!
"What I see! What I feel! Could it all be an illusion?"
Brandon Jiang's eyes were filled with confusion, a wave of uncontrollable fear surged in his heart!
He hoped he was overthinking it, but he didn't want to deceive himself! There were too many doubts and too many big problems he discovered during his cultivation! He had to question them.
"Perhaps, that dream can give me some enlightenment."
Brandon couldn't help but recall the details of that dream.
Previously, he had almost forgotten that bizarre dream, but now, this dream he had ignored might become the key to breaking the situation!
Scenes from that dream flooded Brandon's mind: the dark cloud of insects, the zombie-like pedestrians in the dream, the cultivators in the blacksmith shop constantly self-harming...
Brandon recalled for a long time, finally noticing a detail he had completely overlooked due to excessive panic at the time.
That was the cultivation level of those cultivators in the blacksmith shop.
Although he didn't look closely, thinking carefully, the aura the blacksmith cultivators showed in the dream seemed much weaker than their real-world counterparts.
And Frank Fan, whom he had the most contact with in the dream, now thinking back carefully, he vaguely remembered that Frank's cultivation level in the dream didn't seem to be at the ninth-level Qi Refining, but still at the eighth-level Qi Refining!
Even weaker than when he first met him.
"Could it be that the cultivation levels of the cultivators I saw in the dream are their real cultivation levels?"
Brandon speculated in his heart:
"So, can I see my own cultivation level clearly?"
He had no better way, so he decided to give it a try and re-enter the dream!
Anyway, from the last experience, although the dream was terrifying, it wasn't dangerous.
Brandon acted immediately, not wanting to delay even a second, he went back to his room and closed his eyes to rest.
Although his chaotic state of mind made him a bit sleepless, as time passed, he gradually felt drowsy, and his consciousness fell into chaos.
He didn't know how long it took, but Brandon woke up again.
He sat up, opened his eyes, and the terrifying cloud of insects appeared in his sight once again.
This time, Brandon wasn't too nervous. He could almost be certain that this dream corresponding to reality should be an ability that emerged from somewhere, allowing him to see through the truth.
He first felt his own cultivation level.
Sure enough, it was only at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and even this sixth-level Qi Refining state was very unstable, as if it could fall back to the fifth level at any time!
This was clearly Human Path spiritual energy, the handiwork of those black insect clouds!
This discovery made Brandon smile bitterly.
"I should have understood all this earlier. If I hadn't ignored this dream, my cultivation level wouldn't have fallen to this extent!"
Then, Brandon fell into speculation again:
"In the dream, the black insect cloud is real, my cultivation level is real, so is the self-harming blacksmithing of those cultivators also real?"
"Perhaps, they have been exploiting themselves all along, just being deceived by illusions, never knowing what they were doing!"
Thinking of this, Brandon went to Frank Fan's place next door, climbing over the wall.
At this time, Frank was sitting in the courtyard with a blank expression.

Unlike his healthy self in reality, now he was covered in wounds, with no intact flesh on his body, as if all had been gouged out by some tool!
And his injuries were both new and old, with new wounds still oozing blood, while old wounds had already scabbed and started to grow new flesh.
Once the flesh grew back, it could be cut again.
Seeing Frank's miserable state, Brandon fell silent.
He clenched his fists tightly, a wave of overwhelming anger and sorrow filled his chest! He wanted to smash this place! Smash this hypocritical, seemingly glorious Human Emperor City!
A scam!
Everything in Human Emperor City! It's all a scam!
Everything here is an illusion, relying on the so-called Human Dao formation, the so-called Human Path spiritual energy to continuously extract the spiritual energy of cultivators, tricking them into voluntarily engaging in various tasks, cutting their own flesh, digging their own bones for alchemy, artifact crafting, and talisman crafting...
Then they use illusions to make the cultivators think they are diligently cultivating, working normally!
A bunch of liars!!!
Everyone is deceived by the glamorous appearance of Human Emperor City, but underneath, this place is a more exploitative demonic sect than places like the Heavenly Lotus Sect and the Righteous Alliance!
After a long, long time, Brandon took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.
So what if Human Emperor City is a demonic sect! What can a little Qi Refining cultivator like him do about it?
He didn't even know how to escape! Trapped in this city!
Brandon gritted his teeth, slowly leaving Frank Fan's place, and started to see the true face of Human Emperor City!
He came to the ginseng medicinal field he had seen before, pulled out the ginseng roots, and dug up the soil beneath, seeing the stiff and rotting bodies of mortals turned into fertilizer.
Why could the ginseng in Human Emperor City replace the role of mortals?
Because the ginseng grew by absorbing the nutrients of mortals, there was naturally no difference between the two.
Brandon then went to the thunder pool for collecting heavenly thunder.
In the dream, the so-called heavenly thunder was a series of thundering heavy hammers, hammering down on the cultivators collecting the heavenly thunder.
The surface of the cultivators' bodies shed different colored talisman sand, their bodies became emaciated, their cultivation levels continuously dropped, yet they were completely unaware!
The so-called "Everyone Like Dragon Golden Thunder Sand" was just the result of invisible heavy hammers pounding cultivators with different fates, hammering their flesh and souls into talisman sand.
Among them, the talisman sand pounded out from cultivators with Dragon Thunder Fate was "Everyone Like Dragon Golden Thunder Sand."
There was no difference from 'Everyone Like Dragon Golden Thunder Sand'!
Brandon looked at place after place, discovering truth after truth.
He laughed, a laugh full of ridicule, mocking this Human Emperor City, and mocking himself!
"To think I was deceived so deeply!"

"If it weren't for the illusions appearing every time I broke through, if it weren't for my dreams showing the reality beneath the illusions, I might have been kept in the dark until I was completely drained by Human Emperor City!"
"I was wrong, maybe there's no such thing as cultivation that doesn't devour people in this world! The goal I've been pursuing was wrong!"
"Because of my wishful thinking, I took a detour, I trapped myself!"
"I shouldn't persist anymore, I should have long... followed the Heavenly Path!!!"
Brandon sighed deeply, and when the confusion dissipated, only coldness remained in his eyes.
And his desire to leave Human Emperor City became even more determined!
"I must leave here!"
"Only by escaping the shackles of Human Emperor City can I have a chance to turn the tables! Only then can I have the possibility of revenge! Otherwise, I can only live under the control of Human Emperor City forever!"
"Lisa Chen can no longer be trusted, she may not take me out of Human Emperor City, after all, once I leave, the illusion of my cultivation improvement will break, and the truth of Human Emperor City will be exposed to the world!"
"I must save myself! I must find my own way to escape!"
"And my means of breaking the situation is not in reality, but in the dream!"
Brandon was completely certain that the Human Emperor City in the dream corresponded to everything in the real Human Emperor City.
Perhaps, he could observe the process of the Foundation Establishment experts entering and leaving Human Emperor City in the dream, find flaws, and escape through loopholes.
Thinking of this, Brandon prepared to go to the exit of Human Emperor City to stake out and look for opportunities!
However, at this moment, a wave of intense pain swept through Brandon's mind.
"Ah!"
He instinctively held his head, crying out in pain!
In the next moment, Brandon suddenly opened his eyes, his head still throbbing with pain, a slight movement causing excruciating pain!
This made Brandon secretly alarmed, could this dream require the consumption of some kind of power from himself, and once the power is exhausted, the dream would forcibly disappear?!
This was not good news!
