When he saw that the person in front of him was Zhou Xuan, that Hulu Taoist was truly gnashing his teeth in hatred.

Especially upon hearing that the "Day and Night Wandering God" was actually a story fabricated by Zhou Xuan, he was even more astonished,

Could all these detailed incidents be complete nonsense?

He could hardly believe it, and even more unwilling to accept it,

"Zhou Xuan... were those events tonight all your deceit? Impossible, it can’t be true."

The Hulu Taoist roared towards the Stargazing Token: "Earth God, say something, you should say something."

"Speak? How can a dead token speak?"

Zhou Xuan put away the folded fan and beckoned towards the token.

The Stargazing Token obediently and gently landed in his palm.

After Zhou Xuan infused his Perception into it, a line of text appeared on this amber-like token — Capital City, Qintianjian, Earth personally bestowed.

"This line of text doesn’t look very appealing."

Zhou Xuan, having controlled the Stargazing Token for an entire night, understood the characteristics of this token very well.

He knew that this token originally had cloud patterns and inscriptions, but only by infusing it with a large amount of Perception could these patterns and inscriptions become visible.

Of course,

if he infused even more powerful Perception into this token, he could change the cloud patterns or inscriptions on it.

"These words need a bit of alteration."

Zhou Xuan then infused the token with abundant Perception, changing the text on the token to — Grand Master of Mingjiang Prefecture, Zhou Xuan.

In Zhou Xuan’s hands, the token was like a revolving lantern, changing continuously.

Such an astonishing sleight of hand was demonstrated, and the Hulu Taoist’s heart was already half frozen, proving beyond doubt that there was no Earth inside the token,

"Could it really be a deceit? How could you have deceived me right under my nose?"

"Of course, by employing some tricks."

Zhou Xuan lazily stood up and unfolded the folded fan again, saying to the Hulu Taoist, "My fifth incense is called Colorful Trickery, and one aspect of trickery is known as ’Mirror Flower Water Moon’, another aspect is ’Creating Something from Nothing’."

"Mirror Flower Water Moon can construct certain scenes to make people believe they are real."

"So, the colorful egg embryo we saw, was it your Mirror Flower Water Moon?" the Hulu Taoist speculated.

Zhou Xuan clapped his hands loudly.

"Clap, clap, clap!"

"You’re correct, but not entirely correct."

Zhou Xuan, like a storyteller basking in the glory of applause, had a touch of smugness on his face as he said, "In this world, to truly deceive someone, it can’t be all false,

if it’s entirely false, there are too many loopholes, turning the deception into a ’Mirror Flower Water Moon’ that looks plausible from afar, but a gently poke reveals the illusion,

therefore, in the business of deception, it’s always best to mix truth with falsehood. The form of the egg embryo is indeed a fabricated falsehood by me,

but — the resonance you felt from the ’Day and Night Wandering God’ is certainly real, and indeed comes from a will."

Zhou Xuan, upon saying this, illuminated the cloud pattern on his Daoist robe.

This cloud pattern is the ’Dream of the Four Beauties’.

This dream is a gift from the ’Supreme Will’ to the storyteller, and its resonance is naturally at the ’Will Level’, in harmony with heaven, earth, and nature.

"I constructed the resonance according to this cloud pattern, so it’s completely normal for you to feel a will-level resonance from the egg embryo."

When fishing, real bait is essential, and Zhou Xuan, in this regard, naturally pays attention. It’s not an easy task to deceive these old folks.

Zhou Xuan continued, "In the ’Mirror Flower Water Moon’ level of trickery, I used real will resonance, making it difficult for you to distinguish between reality and illusion,

likewise, in the ’Creating Something from Nothing’ level of trickery, I also have something real."

"Creating Something from Nothing, to put it simply, is imagining something with life in a fictitious scene,

so to easily deceive you with ’Creating Something from Nothing’, a real Life Force is necessary."

Zhou Xuan’s folded fan pointed one by one at the "seven Zhou Xuans" beside him, and said: "These papermen were pre-made as fake personas, the old turtle’s technique is excellent. Although these papermen are mere shams, the Life Force they exhibit is vigorous,

I deliberately laid the groundwork in the story of Day and Night Wandering God, informing you that the Day and Night Wandering God has eight Dharma Bodies. I determined the number ’eight’ based on the number of my papermen, which served as a small psychological cue,

therefore, when you sensed the presence of eight lifesigns, your psychological suggestion was triggered, leading you to believe that the entities inside the egg embryo were indeed the Eight Dharma Bodies of Day and Night Wandering God as told in my strange tale."

Upon hearing Zhou Xuan say this, only then did the Hulu Taoist realize how meticulous the young man’s mind was. Even in the words he spoke, hidden lines and deep foreshadowing lay in wait, ready to explode at the right moment.

Moreover,

all these events were conducted by Zhou Xuan with such unobtrusive flair, which is truly terrifying,

what does lifting a heavy weight with ease mean, this is exactly what it means.

This time, even Yun Ziliang and Li Changxun admitted defeat. In the past, they only knew Zhou Xuan’s deception skills were astounding, mastering Colorful Trickery to a transcendent level.

Nevertheless, as mere bystanders in the past, they only knew Zhou Xuan’s prowess, but having not personally experienced it, they couldn’t perceive the true terror of Colorful Trickery.
