Xiao Jie spoke to this point, his tone growing serious. After a moment's pause, he continued, "To be honest, I'm not entirely sure what might happen. That illusion realm is mysterious and unfathomable, directly pointing to one's true self and the great Dao. The consequences of failure may not only result in a complete loss of cultivation; it might really lead to body and soul annihilation, true spirit extinction. That's why I keep urging you to think carefully before deciding."
An Ran listened with bated breath, and only after Xiao Jie finished did she let out a long sigh, looking at him with a complex expression: "You... is this how you ascended to immortality step by step?"
