Xuan Lingzi shook his head slightly and said, "The ten thousand year old dream demon is just a legend. The dream demon sheds its skin every hundred years. No matter how powerful the dream demon is, it is powerless to resist the molting. For them, it is a life-or-death disaster. Forget the ten thousand year old dream demon. Even encountering a five thousand year old dream demon is extremely bad luck."
Luo Jianqing nodded and asked, "Then how do we distinguish between a dream demon and ordinary poison gas?"
Xuan Lingzi was stunned upon hearing this, then shook his head and said, "I can't tell. Jianqing, you need to be resolute. In the Dream Demon Land, even if you are about to die, you must hold on to your original heart and never give up. The Dream Demon's toxicity is not its strongest ability. Its innate ability is to confuse your mind and make you lose your original heart. If you die in this illusion, you will truly die. You will become the Dream Demon's food, helping it survive its next molting."
Since entering the Dream Demon Land, Luo Jianqing and Xuan Lingzi have been walking in it for three full days.
This land of dream demons seemed endless, with no end in sight. All that was visible was a flat, vast plain, shrouded only by a thick, purple mist. During these three days, Luo Jianqing and Xuan Lingzi had encountered several dream demons, all of which were two or three hundred years old.
Luo Jianqing had been to the land of Maojia before, and had also experienced the illusions that Demon Lord Cangruo had shown him for tens of thousands of years. His will was always firm, and he broke through these dreamlike illusions in just a moment. Xuan Lingzi, on the other hand, walked out of the illusion with even greater ease.
Xuan Lingzi said, "A Dream Demon can only create one illusion between molting. If its illusion is broken, it will die."
Luo Jianqing suddenly understood: "Then Master, haven't we already killed four Dream Demons?"
Xuan Lingzi nodded.
Simply breaking the illusion was equivalent to killing the other party. Luo Jianqing had never seen such a strange thing before. However, although he didn't understand why there were creatures in the world that looked like this purple mist and had no fixed shape, he never sympathized with them.
The dream demon had lured the master and apprentice into this illusion in order to use them as food to help him survive his next molting. In this illusion, it was either you die or I die.
As long as he broke through the illusion, Luo Jianqing would be able to feel his soul being sublimated ever so slightly, and his will and spirit would become more resolute.
A month later, Luo Jianqing and Xuan Lingzi finally left the plains and arrived at a mountain range. They found a cave in an inconspicuous hill. The mountain was already filled with thick purple mist, and they set up a formation, so the cave was hidden between the purple mist and the formation, making it difficult to detect.
After all this was done, Luo Jianqing flipped his hand and took out a round bead from the ring, looking at it solemnly. A faint light shone on this round and plump bead, as if a huge spiritual power was flowing through it. The surface of the bead was full of brilliance, and it was obvious at a glance that it was no ordinary item.
However, surprisingly, there was a huge crack on this bead.
Thirty years ago, the human race set up the Four Directions Calming Formation, and Luo Jianqing held the Azure Dragon throne. Back then, he used this Bright Light Green Jade Bead as a magical weapon to protect the formation. However, after a powerful impact, a tiny crack appeared on the bead.
Since then, this slit has become wider and longer, until now, it is as thick and long as Luo Jianqing's finger.
Luo Jianqing still remembered the first time he saw this bright green jade bead. The entire bead was a brilliant green, and the spiritual power within it was hidden and undetectable. But now, the spiritual power within the bright green jade bead was silently dissipating.
"When I used the Bright Light Green Jade Pearl in Dream Village before, it was already a little strange." Luo Jianqing said solemnly, "Master, it suddenly stopped for a moment. Although it didn't cause any serious damage, it made me feel...it might not be able to hold on any longer."
The Mingguang Qingyuzhu itself is only a heavenly-grade magic weapon. It became a quasi-immortal weapon because the successive masters of Yuxiao Peak infused their last spiritual power into it before their death.
Xuan Lingzi used his spiritual consciousness to observe the bright green jade bead. His injuries were related to his spirit and spiritual power, but his spiritual consciousness was intact. The powerful spiritual consciousness of the middle stage of the spirit transformation forced its way into the bright green jade bead and soon observed a vast expanse of heaven and earth.
In the boundless world, spiritual power condenses into a sea, with surging waves.
Xuan Lingzi was momentarily stunned by the sheer magnitude of this spiritual energy, which could actually condense into an ocean. But when he peered further inside, he saw a massive black hole in the center of the ocean, allowing countless ocean water to flow back out. Once this water entered the black hole, it vanished silently, as if fading into nothingness.
Xuan Lingzi immediately sent out his spiritual consciousness and said, "Jianqing, we can only wait for another year."
Luo Jianqing was stunned. After a long moment, he asked, "Master, we've waited for eleven years, and we can't even say we're fully prepared. If we fail, not only will our whereabouts be exposed, but the Bright Light Green Jade Bead will also be reduced to dust, rendering it useless. Is it really true that we can't wait any longer?"
Xuan Lingzi said, "This rift is so large that even my spiritual consciousness can penetrate it. The spiritual energy of successive Yuxiao Peak masters has coalesced into a sea within it, but this rift is swallowing up countless spiritual energy, and the rate of increase is increasing. In three years at most, the spiritual energy within will definitely not be enough to support your advancement to the Mahayana stage."
Luo Jianqing was surprised and asked, "Is it so serious?"
Xuan Lingzi nodded: "Yes, it's that serious."
Eleven years ago, Xuan Lingzi brought Luo Jianqing from the abyss to Yuanzhou Rongguo, and he had a plan -
With the help of the bright green jade beads, Luo Jianqing broke through three realms in one fell swoop!
