Chapter 964 - 1064: The Price Is a Bit Too High

Ye Tianfan felt a surge of excitement after hearing Big Stick's words.

Moreover, all the gloominess surrounding Ye Tianfan vanished completely.

Ye Tianfan even started pondering how to use this ability to summon others' illusions to deal with Big Stick.

This way, he would definitely be able to truly touch Big Stick.

Ye Tianfan even imagined making two Big Sticks fight each other while watching the spectacle from the side, but he knew this was unlikely to happen.

After all, there was a significant power disparity between himself and Big Stick. Ye Tianfan didn't really believe that this technique, which summons illusions, could summon Big Stick, given the vast difference in power.

If Ye Tianfan could summon an illusion of Big Stick's power with his current strength, he wouldn't need to practice any other Immortal Techniques. He would focus solely on this technique, and no matter who he encountered, he would directly summon an illusion of the Primordial Master and wait on the side as the Primordial Master effortlessly defeated them.

As Ye Tianfan thought about this, he quickly said to Big Stick, "Can you teach me this? The technique for summoning illusions!"

Big Stick wasn't particularly concerned after hearing Ye Tianfan's request. After all, this technique wasn't a big deal for him. If it were really that effective, he would have already dominated the entire Penglai Immortal Island.

However, since Ye Tianfan wanted to learn it, Big Stick decided to give it to him.

So Big Stick waved his hand towards Ye Tianfan, and a flash of light flew from Big Stick's hand and into Ye Tianfan's mind.

Initially, Big Stick intended to tell Ye Tianfan he could teach him, but only after Ye Tianfan left the dream. However, Big Stick had another idea and changed his mind, deciding to pass it directly to Ye Tianfan.

When Ye Tianfan saw the flash of light shoot towards his head, he didn't resist or dodge. He knew that this flash of light was most likely the method for using the illusion-summoning Immortal Technique!

This left Ye Tianfan surprised, as he didn't expect to encounter such an enlightening method here. He wondered why White Beard didn't use this simple and straightforward method to impart the Vibrating Power to him.

But Ye Tianfan didn't dwell on it and quickly checked his mind for the method of using the illusion-summoning technique. However, after searching through his mind repeatedly, he couldn't find it, leading Ye Tianfan to look at Big Stick in confusion. If that flash just now wasn't an enlightening method, then what exactly was it?

Seeing Ye Tianfan's puzzled expression, Big Stick smiled and said, "That flash just now was indeed the method for using and training the illusion-summoning technique. But I added a seal on it. To unlock this seal, you simply need to wake up from the dream!"

Ye Tianfan's face darkened after hearing Big Stick's words. He originally hoped to summon an illusion and attack together, but it seemed Big Stick had other plans. However, Ye Tianfan couldn't do much about it. Ultimately, when he would learn it was up to Big Stick.

After laughing, Big Stick turned serious again and said to Ye Tianfan, "Actually, this Immortal Technique has many limitations. Do you think you can summon illusions easily? It's not that simple. To summon an illusion, the cost is quite significant. For example, if I were to summon your illusion in the outside world, the cost would be deducting Spiritual Power equal to yours and then an additional three times your Spiritual Power to summon it successfully. The amount equal to your Spiritual Power is what the illusion has, and the additional three times is the Spiritual Power needed to construct the illusion's body. So, the cost of summoning your illusion is about four times your Spiritual Power."

Ye Tianfan paused after hearing this. It meant that if he wanted to summon someone stronger than himself, he would need to expend a lot of energy. It was like consuming a lot of medicine to replenish Spirit Power, similar to using four moves at once—not too much of an issue!

For replenishing Spiritual Power, Ye Tianfan wasn't too concerned because he had a significant amount of pills for that. Moreover, he had learned alchemy, so he wouldn't lack pills to replenish his Spiritual Power in the future!

Big Stick continued, "If you're simply summoning someone, the cost isn't that high. But what I meant by significant cost isn't just the Spiritual Power. You also need to know the other person very well. You need to know all their techniques, hidden moves, and trump cards because the illusion has a weakness. Once the real person uses a move the illusion doesn't know in front of it, the illusion will immediately collapse. This is because the meridians in the illusion's body are fixed. If a new move suddenly appears, the illusion tries to generate a network for it. Since the meridians are fixed, constructing a new path breaks the original, causing the illusion to disintegrate."

Upon hearing this, Ye Tianfan finally understood that this technique wasn't as powerful as he imagined. After all, everyone has their trump cards. However, it wasn't as weak as Big Stick made it sound!

On Penglai Immortal Island, there were only four of them, so Big Stick found this weakness quite fatal. But it was different in the outside world where there were many people. For instance, after summoning an illusion of the Primordial Master, Ye Tianfan wouldn't use it in front of the real person, only in front of others. In that case, this so-called weakness wouldn't exist. After knowing this weak point, Ye Tianfan certainly wouldn't foolishly summon Zhang Youji in front of Zhang Youji, he would summon someone else in front of Zhang Youji!

Thinking about this, Ye Tianfan suddenly felt that aside from the energy consumption, the technique didn't really have any significant fatal weaknesses!

However, Ye Tianfan only thought about summoning Zhang Youji or the Primordial Master. It's important to know that both Zhang Youji and the Primordial Master are at the Realm of Ten Directions. With the Spiritual Power in their bodies, a single finger contains hundreds of times more than Ye Tianfan, and their power quality surpasses his by hundreds or thousands of times!

So, if Ye Tianfan wanted to summon them, it would be futile unless he was willing to spend hundreds or thousands of years summoning them slowly, which wouldn't be worth the effort!
