Chapter 165 Scattered in Five Directions, A Cage Suddenly Appears
When it comes to finding joy in hardship, rosewood ranks second to none.
Always camping in one village or another ravine, the experienced Mr. Hua had already acquired a top-of-the-line camping gear for himself when he first entered Tianlan City.
After eating a small rabbit, Huali first took out a custom-made single-person soft cushion from her Qiankun bag, then laid a thin quilt on it, took out a soft pillow, and after arranging everything properly, she sat down comfortably.
She even casually draped the blanket over her stomach.
She smiled at Shen Yu, "I used the Breath of Earth Regeneration to create a barrier, so rest assured."
Shen Yu was uncharacteristically at a loss for words, "...You moved your whole family here?"
"Hey, you don't understand." Hua Li waved her hand. "My constitution is different from yours. It's no big deal for you cultivators to not eat, drink, or sleep, but I'm fragile, so a comfortable sleeping environment is especially important for me."
Moreover, she had thought about a question more than once when she was reading the novel back then—
Since the Qiankun Bag can hold so much, why not put all the essentials for going out in it?
Even if you're meditating, it would be so much more comfortable to bring a small cushion.
She casually pulled another set of equipment from her storage bag and tossed it to Chen Yu, saying, "Here you go, young master, we're not going to suffer without a plan."
Shen Yu accepted the gift and thanked her, but looked at Hua Li with a puzzled expression.
It is true that she has no spiritual power in her body, but the power of the Reincarnation Sundial is enormous. Even he cannot fully accept the power. Why can Huali, who has a mortal body, absorb it all without any problems?
It should be known that the Reincarnation Sundial is one of the four divine artifacts born from the first pure and extremely pure spiritual energy in the world when the chaos first separated in ancient times and the state of purity and turbidity was not yet determined.
The Four Creatures were born at the beginning of the primordial chaos, and their power is unimaginable.
Today, the Burning Heaven Tower has been brought under the combined control of the four major immortal sects and is being used by the Spirit Sword Sect to suppress evil demons and monsters; the Blessing God Lamp, by chance, ended up in Chenliu and has not been found since.
Then there's the reincarnation sundial in this dreamlike realm, which recognized Huali as its master.
Shen Yu turned to Hua Li and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Huali lay comfortably on her small bed, looking up at the stars in the sky, and shook her head contentedly, "No."
And she didn’t know if it was because she was recovering her health after completing the mission, but she always felt like there was a small heater inside her body, constantly supplying her with heat.
For example, when she lies here, everything around her is clearer than ever before.
She could now even discern the subtle glimmers between the stars that were usually just blurry dots of light, as if the sky had suddenly been drawn closer.
With a touch of curiosity, Huali rolled over and lay face down on the mat, her legs twitching. In the distance, she heard the babbling of a stream, and before her eyes, the starlight was hazy. She slowly yawned, stretched, and unconsciously raised her hand to wave at the sky.
Suddenly, the trajectories of several closely connected stars twisted abruptly.
Karin didn't even lift her head; she simply closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Shen Yu seemed to sense something, but when he looked up, he saw that the starlight was stable and arranged as usual.
Outside the water, Geluo Tan, who had been feigning sleep, suddenly opened his eyes.
The old man, who had been interpreting destiny for thousands of years at the astrological observatory, had his clouded eyes cleared. As he gazed at the rapidly closing ripples in the sky, his fingers, resting on the edge of his cane, trembled slightly.
Geluo Tan suddenly remembered the unfinished words of Wu Jin in the water mirror before he started the Dream Realm.
"Though it lasts only a moment, like a mayfly trying to shake a tree, the 'shaking' itself is irreplaceable."

In the center of the Dream Realm, the emerald green eyes of the Corrupted Bone Wolf locked onto the two people in front of it, and black energy carrying poisonous mist gushed out from its body.
Mo Ziyan thrust forward with his Qingli sword, precisely piercing the gap in the neck bone exposed by the monster's attack.
Almost simultaneously, the Xuanfeng Sword, gleaming with flames, shot out from behind, instantly piercing the gaping mouth of the Corpse Bone Wolf, which was agape in agony.
Sizzle—
The two sword lights collided violently inside the monster's skull. The massive body of the Bone Wolf suddenly stiffened, and as the eerie green light completely extinguished, black energy escaped and was quickly dispersed by the mountain wind.
Tang Wanwan knelt on one knee, leaning on the Xuanfeng Sword, panting heavily. "This is already the tenth one we've chased. Why have so many demonic beasts suddenly flooded into the Prelude Dream Secret Realm?"
Mo Ziyan's fingers, which were gripping the Qingli Sword, trembled slightly. "I'm afraid someone deliberately placed evil energy there."
He glanced at the withered plants around him, caused by the evil energy, and said with a pursed lip, "We need to find this person first."
Just as the two were about to take a step, the array that had been waiting beneath their feet was activated instantly!
"Senior Brother Ziyan!"
In the blink of an eye, Mo Ziyan only had time to push Tang Wanwan away before he was trapped in the spirit array.

Prelude to Dreams North—
Panting, Rong Xing summoned the star chart to trap the wolf demon shrouded in black energy. "Feng Yi, now's the time."
Feng Yi, who had regained his golden core with the help of Fusang wood and white bone grass, seized the opportunity and his sword light, as swift as a shooting star, precisely pierced the wolf demon's core.
As soon as the wolf demon died, the black energy within its body intertwined with the light of the star chart, instantly transforming into a massive vortex of barrier.
As soon as Feng Yi and Rong Xing realized something was wrong, their spiritual energy began to stagnate, and they were instantly trapped by the spiritual array.

Prelude to Dreams Eastward—
Bingyue and Zhanli chased after the Hellhound through the forest, one after the other.
Bingyue's repaired zither vibrated, sending a sound wave towards the Hellhound. At the same time, she turned her head and roared at Zhan Li, "Get out of my way! This is the monster I found first!"
Behind him, Zhan Li sneered, and the Fiery Bow fired five arrows in quick succession, grazing Bing Yue's body and striking the core of the Hellhound. The fierce spiritual energy tore several holes in her dress.
Anger flashed in Bingyue's eyes, and as the Hellhound exploded, she turned and attacked Zhanli!
The two fought like a clam and a snipe, but a barrier was instantly erected, allowing them to reap the benefits!

Prelude to Dreams West —
A giant scorpion with its metal shell corroded by black energy lunged at them. Yu Ling controlled several small mechanical beasts to trap it before turning around and calling out, "Ayu!"
Shao Siming swiftly formed hand seals, and the array beneath her feet rapidly pierced towards the scorpion's core!
At the same time, the mechanical beast controlled by Yu Ling self-destructed, and the giant scorpion was instantly blown to pieces!
Before the two could catch their breath, the black mist formed a strange runic cage on the ground, trapping them inside in an instant.
Yu Ling instinctively pulled Shao Siming aside, "Ayu, be careful!"
Shao Siming frowned as she looked at the barrier before her, subtly withdrawing her wrist. "We've been caught in the trap."

Prologue: South of the Dream Realm.
The campfire had turned into a pile of dark red embers, with occasional tiny sparks flickering in the air.
Shen Yu lay on the soft cushion, not asleep. He turned his head slightly, his gaze passing over the warm ashes and landing on the girl sleeping soundly a few steps away.
She was sleeping soundly, her breathing shallow and even.
The last glow of the campfire softly outlined the girl's profile—a full forehead, a delicate nose, and red feathers scattered on her cheeks, gently swaying with her breath.
Shen Yu watched quietly, her heart seemingly soaked by the night, surging with something indescribable, extremely tender.
The next second, the arm seemed to have its own consciousness, slowly and silently rising.
The boy's long, slender, pale fingers curled slightly in the dim light, with a hint of hesitation that was barely perceptible, before he reached out firmly yet with utmost gentleness toward the sleeping face.
Click—
Several extremely abrupt and incredibly clear cracking sounds rang out outside the water mirror.
Immediately afterwards, an indescribable, viscous, and terrifying aura erupted from the center of the three people under the water mirror of the rogue cultivators.
Xiao Ta Zhao Heng Xi Wu Tuo Wu and the others suddenly fell silent as chickens.
