Chapter 145 Prologue: The Dream Realm Opens
I really haven't had enough of the rosewood.
Could Shen Yu really have some kind of problem? Putting aside Bing Yue's personality, just looking at her appearance, she shouldn't be so unapproachable.
Seeing Huali shake her head, Shen Yu snorted coldly and added her to his list of key observation targets.
Changliu glanced at his young master, then looked at Huali on the other side.
This was the first time the young master had taken the initiative to speak to a woman. After thinking for a moment, he suggested, "If you want to form a team, young master, why don't you consider Fairy Huali? She is not only quick-witted but also has unique moves, which will surely be a great help to you."
Shen Yu glanced at him, "Are you poisoned?"
Changliu was taken aback, then immediately used his spiritual power to sense his surroundings and shook his head. "No, there isn't anything there."
Shen Yu chuckled, "Oh, I thought she'd bewitched you, since she mentions it to me every day." He raised a sharp eyebrow, "What? Are we here to play around?"
Changliu: "..." silently stepped back.

In less than half an incense stick's time, all the major forces had quickly assembled.
At the foot of Mount Xuyue, more than a dozen water mirrors appeared simultaneously, each more than twice the size of those from the previous competition among scattered cultivators.
The Water Mirror was divided according to various races and sects: the Spirit Sword Sect, the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect, the Joyful Union Sect, the Astrological Platform, the Heavenly Craft Workshop, the Spirit Sound Sect, the Holy Capital Demon Realm, Sunset City, the Medicine King Valley, the Beast Taming Sect, the Myriad Talismans Sect, the Witch Clan, and the rogue cultivators each received a piece.
At the same time, everyone who entered the secret realm, including Huali, was given a specially made communication stone.
The spiritual energy on the communication stone can not only connect with other water mirrors in the Dream Realm to transmit the appearance of these people in real time, but it is also responsible for recording the points obtained from the trials.
The enormous Tongtian Stele beside the secret realm is the real-time ranking list of Xuyue Mountain.
Killing a Qi Refining stage minor demon earns 10 points, a Foundation Establishment stage demon earns 100 points, a mid-Golden Core stage demon earns 500 points, a peak Golden Core stage demon earns 1000 points, and a Nascent Soul stage or higher special-grade demon earns 10000 points.
Breaking ancient restrictions, ranging from 100 to 10,000.
The Secret Treasure Inheritance grants 100,000 points.
If one can successfully find the cave dwelling of the master of the Prelude Dream Secret Realm, one will directly win the first prize.
As everyone was eager to compete, Tang Wanwan whispered a reminder to Huali, "Don't underestimate the small amount of points given to the little demons. In previous years, they won by killing demon beasts. Ancient restrictions are very rare to find, and only one person has broken two at once."
Upon hearing this, Huali asked, "Who is it?"
Tang Wanwan smiled smugly, "Hehe, my dad." She blinked and puffed out her chest, "How about that? Impressive, right?"
Hua Li and Ao Bai nodded in unison, and the little girl couldn't suppress the smile on her face. "Ahem... In short, apart from the ancient restrictions where we can try our luck, don't even think about the inheritance of any other secret treasures."
"Also, we must always pay attention to the rankings on the communication stone." Tang Wanwan said seriously, "If you are ranked high, remember not to act alone, especially not to go to the ancient forbidden area. The water mirror cannot transmit there, and no one knows what will happen inside."
Huali nodded.
Human hearts are unpredictable. No matter how many points you accumulate, they're all wiped out upon death.
As the two were talking, a round little cannonball flew straight over, shouting, "Huali, we've come to cheer you on!"
Huali took him from her and ruffled his fur. "A mother worries when she's far away. Little Ta is so filial."
Little Tower blinked its big amber eyes. "I heard from my friends in the tower that there are many fun places in this secret realm."
This kid clearly had ulterior motives. Before Hua Li could even speak, Tang Wanwan sneered and attacked directly, "Trying to fish in troubled waters? Even if you hide in Qing Lin's Pendant, the secret realm will still be thrown out for you."
She spun her fist on Xiaota's head, "And why are you only cheering for Huali?! What about me? Do you want to get beaten up?!"
Xiao Ta shouted indignantly, "You beat me up every day, why should I cheer you on unless you say you support Luo Chuan!"
Tang Wanwan tossed the small tower to Zhao Heng in a second, "Absolutely impossible!"
Zhao Heng skillfully took the small pagoda, and touched Hua Li's forehead with the warm green light in her hand. "Hua Li, you will have good luck." Then she touched Tang Wanwan's forehead and tilted her head and smiled under the other's surprised gaze. "Fairy Wanwan, you will also have good luck."
Tang Wanwan, who was experiencing this treatment for the first time, was instantly moved to tears.
She suddenly pulled out a communication stone and pressed a few buttons on it, then casually pulled out a talisman, infused it with spiritual energy, and tossed it to Zhao Heng, saying, "Here you go."
Zhao Heng's ahoge (cowlick) was limp, and she blinked her green eyes, "?"
Mr. Tang gave a wicked smile, "This has my mark on it. It's from the restaurant we went to last time, where everything was free!"
Zhao Heng's ahoge (cowlick) immediately stood up in the wind, and her pupils widened. "Fairy Wanwan, do you still want blessings? I have more."
Tang Wanwan waved her hand, about to say no, when she met the bright eyes of a person, a cat, and a tower.
A rosewood fly rubbed its hands together, wishing you smooth sailing, auspiciousness, good fortune, and peace throughout the four seasons...
Ao Bai fawned, raising his tail and nuzzling Tang Wanwan's chin with his head, meowing obsequiously.
Little Pagoda blinked her big, watery eyes, "The Buddhist disciple is quite nice..."
Upon hearing this, the Cursed Heart Butterfly, which was not far away, flapped its wings and flicked him on the forehead.
Tang Wanwan: "...You've all lost all sense of shame for a bite to eat, haven't you?"
Bingyue, who had witnessed everything clearly, flashed a look of disdain in her eyes. "What kind of behavior is this, laughing and joking around?"
Shen Yu ignored her, tossed the communication stone high into the air and caught it again, then turned and walked towards the entrance.
A smile flashed in Shao Siming's eyes. "These two little girls are so cute, aren't they, Aya?"
Yu Ling nodded, "If we meet in the secret realm, we might be able to help each other out."

As Shen Yu approached, a grand and deep humming sound rang out.
Everyone seemed to sense something and looked ahead.
The resonant sound of bells and chimes, echoing between heaven and earth, accompanied by boundless spiritual power, continuously cleansed every inch of air with its humming sound.
Buzz—
The moment the ancient gate opened, a primordial will swept in like an invisible tsunami.
An indescribable "wind" brushed against Karin's cheek, lifting strands of hair by her ears and dancing with the red feathers.
The entrance to both opportunity and hardship slowly unfolds, waiting for brave warriors to accept the challenge.
An unprecedented light suddenly shone in Karin's eyes.
Tang Wanwan took a deep breath and shouted to Sect Leader Tang, "Don't worry, Father, I'll definitely eat well and have fun this time."
Tang Yu nodded, "Alright, alright, rankings aren't important, participation is what matters, my dear girl!"
Huali turned around as if she sensed something, and saw Lian Zhuowenjin and Luochuan in different corners in the distance.
A confident smile played on her lips as she stood on tiptoe and waved to the three of them, "Wait for me to come back! Let's eat together!!!"
