When Dreams Awaken
Danxin Peak is the most suitable place for herbs to grow. It also has the largest population, and you can often see young herbalists passing by.
They were all busy...
Chi Wangyue was somewhat shocked when she appeared in the same spot.
He glanced to his side and, when another person appeared, he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
The moment Yan Tianhua returned here, he looked at Danxin Peak, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
In the end, the result of all this was that they became "immune" to all illusions, which meant they had two passes.
After that, when they came again, they did not need to be tested to verify their identity.
This is a good thing.
Chi Wangyue sighed deeply, her eyes filled with the uniform green of Danxin Peak.
Yan Tianhua shifted her gaze to him and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
His eyes held a hint of tenderness and longing.
"We've been in the illusion for so long, let's go back and rest for a while. Another day, your senior brother will take you around."
Chi Wangyue readily agreed, "Okay!"
He's been through so much, he's a bit listless and needs a good rest.
It was easy for Yan Tianhua to bring someone back to her own peak.
He went straight back to his own home.
Chi Wangyue had a few more thoughts in her mind: "After I've rested, I'll go see Junior Sister Bai. I guess she's been here for a while now."
The flow of time within the illusion is different from the rotation of time in reality; there are certain proportions and limitations.
Chi Wangyue was a little tired and fell asleep halfway there. Yan Tianhua looked at the sleeping young master Chi and reluctantly carried his junior brother back to his home.
Wuqing Peak is full of mountains and trees. The houses are scattered and each has its own style. There are many small paths, but the main road leads straight to their main hall.
The main hall was magnificently built, unlike their individual small rooms, which were mainly used for entertaining guests and were rarely open to the public. But whenever it was open, the master would definitely be there.
Xing Juan was a man of few words but deep feelings; his three young apprentices each had their own interests.
He rarely interfered, but they had a good relationship.
Yan Tianhua feels at ease when she thinks of her master.
He carried the exhausted and asleep Chi Wangyue on his back as he climbed the stairs back.
Two thousand steps, surrounded by various trees, sometimes emitting quiet sounds.
This was the first time Chi Wangyue had witnessed how demanding her own sect was, having set up two thousand steps for her child to climb.
It's like creating the atmosphere of climbing a mountain.
"I'm tired. Let's destroy it!"
Chi Wangyue didn't climb them, but Yan Tianhua experienced it firsthand. He asked, "Master, is the purpose of setting up these steps to improve your health?"
Yan Tianhua said, "This wasn't built by Master. It was passed down from the previous generation of elders and is a place specifically for cultivating ruthlessness. The purpose of setting up the steps is probably for self-cultivation."
Xing Juan doesn't always pass by here, but every disciple of Wuqing Peak has climbed up from here.
"Actually, there is a special passage to Wuqing Peak, but it has been broken recently, so they have to go up there themselves. Yan Tianhua is physically strong, so it won't be difficult for him to get through this. Carrying Chi Wangyue on his back adds a bit of good luck."
Yan Tianhua kept the latter part to herself, but if she said it out loud, Junior Brother Chi would undoubtedly get angry.
Chi Wangyue: "QAQ No! Please fix it quickly!"
"Well, it won't take long, at most two or three days. It's just that we happened to be caught in the worst time. By the way, Junior Brother Chi, we at Ruthless Peak have a rule that prohibits the use of flying devices."
"Therefore, ordinary flying devices won't leave Ruthless Peak, like the gourd that the Danxin Peak junior sister used last time, as you mentioned. If it were used, the situation would be similar. Here, we're connected to a maze, and returning the way we came is the only solution."
Chi Wangyue was puzzled at first, but gradually she came to understand.
"So it wasn't that Bai Hanxin's map was ugly or too simple, but rather that it was just the protective measures they themselves had set up. Compared to their loyalty, their own is still a little more comforting," Chi Wangyue thought to herself.
Consciously stand on your own side, I'm raising the banner for my own team. (jpg)
Yan Tianhua briefly described the general path of modern cultivators and the basic things they need to know to Chi Wangyue.
Every cultivator must pass the test of physical fitness, followed by ability. Within the three major sects, there are many who are not particularly talented, but there are also quite a few who stand out from the crowd.
The masters created by the elders of powerful families using props and magical artifacts, along with their diligent and capable junior disciples, will eventually achieve great things through their accumulated efforts and the test of time.
On a grand scale, it signifies recognition in the path of immortality; on a smaller scale, it signifies the most outstanding disciple of one's own sect.
Each sect has its own core focus and emphasis. Their own competition is like an exam, and each exam has a leaderboard, similar to a report card.
The ranking system also selects the best candidates. Some patriarchs, seeing that their own children are not on the list, will choose some outstanding disciples from the family to teach them courses.

They each have their own difficulties, but at the same time, they maximize their own interests while making progress together.
Here, there is no shortage of diligent and hardworking children. Ability does not represent everything, but a solid foundation is the ticket to the top.
Chi used to be a ruthless cultivation fanatic who had no interest in learning about cultivation or similar disciplines. After understanding, Wang Yue nodded frantically, "Oh."
It turns out that I can't escape the word "learning" in my destiny.
As the ancients said, "One is never too old to learn." He was learning until he was old. Chi Wangyue looked at the fiercely competitive students within the same system—no, his fellow students—with a touch of sympathy!
"Keep going! The meaning of life is not in reaching the destination, but in seeing the scenery along the way and experiencing the challenges of life."
"Chi Wangyue murmured. His eyes gleamed as he looked at his senior brother, who had taken the time to tutor him, and he was unexpectedly touched.
Seeing the increasingly strange look in her junior brother's eyes, Yan Tianhua decisively withdrew and left.
Before he left, he told him to get some rest.
Next time, I'll take him on a training trip again.
Yan Tianhua returned to his room, and he went to wash up.
Chi Wangyue, on the other hand, unpacked her mountain of information one by one, like opening a package.
"System, are you there?"
Hu Li logged on as soon as he heard his host's call. He saw Chi Wangyue's eyes shining and vaguely felt that something was wrong.
If I complete the task, there will be a reward, right? Also, I've worked so hard, so I should get some compensation for my hard work.
Hu Li's use of human thought to interpret the past felt surprisingly natural.
"Host, you're still quite human."
Hu Li pondered deeply and came to a conclusion that was neither quite right nor wrong.
It means that "some people who love money are good people."
He has a point when he breaks free from preconceived notions.
Chi Wangyue stared blankly at her system. "Hmm? What's wrong? Is the main system bugged, or did Hu Li's CPU burn out?"
Xiao Huli: "No, we haven't shut down yet."
Chi Wangyue, looking eager to finish her business, said to the system, "Quickly settle my account."
Hu Li followed the host's steps, adhering to the principle of looking inward. A clear and cold voice rang out from Chi Wangyue's mind, and time stood still as before.
"Based on the host's perfect completion of the high-danger level mission, an extra reward will be received."
"The extra rewards are as follows:"
[Congratulations, host, your physical fitness has reached its maximum limit – in short, stamina max.]
[Congratulations, host, your charm value has reached its maximum limit – in short, charm max]
[Congratulations, host, your influence has reached its maximum limit - influence value max]
Congratulations, host, on completing a "living to die" mission. You have reached the main system's history interface with an absolutely impossible mission. The main system reminds you: Your sense of challenge is excellent, but please do not attempt it lightly.
"A reckless person will never achieve anything great. I hope that you, host, will continue to work hard to change the original protagonist's romantic storyline and satisfy the readers!"
The rewards are as follows:
[The host has obtained an illusionary realm called "Zhiwu Star Lord"]
The host will have the right to go to "autonomy" and may hide there for a while if necessary. However, please note that the timeline is different.
External time = Internal time × 3
[The host will have the option to upgrade any skill once. Upgrading a skill will result in a cooldown period, but the greater the effect, the longer the cooldown will be.]
The system kindly reminds you, "Please use system skills responsibly, dear~"
—Automatic reply from the system.
Chi Wangyue looked at the seemingly automated reply, tapped it, but there was no response.
Immediately afterwards, [The host has been granted one chance to draw a prize!]
[The host has obtained a full image of an exclusive illusionary character x1]
[The host has acquired the title "Who Doesn't Have a First Time in Their Life?". Wearing this title, others will automatically take care of you, the "poor little thing experiencing your first time in life."]
[The host has obtained their own anchor point x1]
...
The above is the system settlement result; please check it, host.
Chi Wangyue's ears were ringing. Next time, she would definitely not listen again. She would just list the main rewards directly, which would be simple, convenient, and clear.
He gave a mysterious smile, and Hu Li's heart skipped a beat.
Hu Li's words, though late, arrived nonetheless. Ever since his colleagues had unified the "all-night party" last time, he was somewhat embarrassed to comment on his host's behavior.
But the error was pointed out by someone, and the correctness should also be encouraged. The main system never expected that its own little system would be so gentle, and even encouraged the host in a patient and persuasive manner, saying, "Support the host in fixing system bugs, improving system elements, and doing a good job for everyone. I don't object to the host's complaint behavior, and we should support it more!"
Chi Wangyue suddenly looked up at Hu Li, and neither of them spoke a word.
"I didn't make more than a few cents; I lost a lot of money."
Hu Li offered a suggestion as a starting point: "Perhaps, some areas are worth investing in."
Chi Wangyue stared slowly at her somewhat "plump" system panel and said with a heavy expression, "Perhaps you are right."
He acted quickly and directly clicked on his right to re-enter the illusion.
Little did he know that when he first entered, due to his unfamiliarity with the area, he walked down the street and bumped into Hunhun and Xiyang having dinner.
Their movements were so skilled that, compared to him, he seemed like a giant light bulb.
Chi Wangyue: "Don't eat dog food, Jiu Min jpg."
He left silently.
After leaving,
The setting sun opposite the dusk said with some interest, "Look, the little guy is here again. After taking down our big boss, is he becoming a little careless about us?"
Huang Hun said unhappily, "Don't touch him, don't take my meatballs. You can't just lay a hand on him, after all, he's someone I'm protecting."
The setting sun murmured to itself about their relationship, "You hate me!"
Before she could react, Huang Hun gave her most of the meatballs in the bowl, vividly demonstrating how the bottom line could gradually disappear without any limits. "I love you, like fish and water, like the sky and clouds. Look, I've given you my meatballs, stop fooling around."
The setting sun chuckled, "Alright. I won't bully him, and I won't let the little devils bully him either. Aren't I considerate?"
"Um."
Chi Wangyue doesn't like watching dog food (a Chinese slang term for public displays of affection), so she quickly disappears, perhaps for the sake of her own eyes.
He arrived at the wealthy royal residence—the Chi residence.
He is the young master, so this is naturally the Chi residence.
He was surprised that the place hadn't disappeared.
"?"
Two people he knew were among them—Liu Linfeng and Xing Yu.
The following is a rude and annoying comment from a certain Liu Linfeng:
"Ah~ that person is finally gone, and we finally have a big house. Sigh—it's good that Chi Wangyue and Yan Tianhua left. I wonder if he knew beforehand that I was just pretending to be stupid."
Xing Yu's lips twitched, and he immediately started beating people.
Despite his small size, he was incredibly strong and easily caught up with him. "You really were pretending to be confused, you stinky pig!"
Liu Linfeng hurriedly said, "Hey, hey, I'm not a stinky pig! Don't give me random nicknames, okay? The problem is that yours is too vulgar and offensive to public morals."
Xing Yu chuckled.
He wasn't really going to lay a hand on him; it was just that the guy in front of him was too annoying to handle. You don't know how tough life is until you beat him up.
Sometimes when he looks at him, he can picture him laughing, which is simply "ugly".
Xing Yu's true nature was only revealed after they left.
He wasn't silent or unresponsive. Rather, he was aggressive towards the familiar husky but showed respect to strangers.
Everyone needs one or two knowledgeable partners.
It wasn't Liu who said it, but Xing Yu thought that he should keep an eye on his own friends and make sure they didn't suffer. Otherwise, in the end, the person who would suffer along with him would be the one who gets taken advantage of.
He shook his head, glanced at it casually, and then paused for a moment.
When Chi Wangyue left, she didn't see Xing Yu's gaze.
He silently offered his blessings and then left.
Afterwards, Liu Linfeng squinted at A Yu, somewhat amused, "See, you've been pretending for so long, and someone saw right through you. Aren't you embarrassed?"
Xing Yu laughed and said, "You're pretending again. When did you actually find out?"
"At the beginning."
"Loading the cargo."
"Believe it or not, it's up to you," Liu Linfeng said casually.
Xing Yu thought for a moment and replied, "I believe you. I'm more convinced than you that you're pretending to conceal some of your true intentions."
"For example, the lost purse, you could take more than twice the amount of money out of Yan Tianhua."
"And this time?" Liu Linfeng hummed in agreement, casually adopting a testing stance.
Xing Yu replied, "I don't know. Who wants to spend all day guessing what a drama queen is thinking? It's just that at some point, I suddenly realized something."
Liu Linfeng smiled and said, "Then guess what I got this time?"
Ah Yu: "Go to hell!"
Liu Linfeng continued, "I saw a moment of bewilderment in my heart, I found an unanswered question, I saw my future, and you."
Xing Yu casually asked, "Would I beat you up?"
Liu Linfeng followed, saying, "Of course, I'm going to follow my A-Yu for the rest of my life."
"shameless."
"Your face is something you give yourself, not something that others can just take away. I'm a doctor, huh? A master alchemist, I'm very good at healing myself."
"oh."
Ah Yu, I've found my heartache.
"Fine, get lost."
"No, I'm telling you, a mental illness requires a mental cure."
"I am not your medicine."
"Then, I am your illness."
"……what ever."
Liu Linfeng skipped over Chi Wangyue and flashed directly to Xing Yu's side.
Seeing how tiny he was, I felt even happier.
Perhaps he is a natural-born actor, but life is like a play, so how can one become so engrossed in acting that one neglects one's own inner self?
He was one of the first to awaken!
Perhaps Huang Moudi has already noticed something.
"So what?"
Some people with arrogant attitudes were casually thought of by Chi Wangyue, and after a while, they even put their thoughts aside.
Unbeknownst to Chi Wangyue, she had arrived at a temple dedicated to the emperor.
Under the emperor's feet, among the masses.
Beside Huang Di was a little white doll-like boy with a radish-like head.
At this moment, Huang Di looked at the child with some disdain.
The child jumped one step at a time, hugged his leg, and cried out loudly.
Huang Di "..."
What to do? He hadn't expected it to be the infancy stage.
The emperor was crying. Huang Di, with a cold and heartless expression, said, "Stop crying, or I'll feed you to the dogs."
?
Nooo ...
The white doll in front of me immediately stopped crying, though its eyes were slightly red.
Chi Wangyue hid to the side, watching what looked like a large-scale dog training scene, as if she had accidentally wandered into a heavenly palace.
Leaving is not an option, nor is staying.
but--
How can a real man... how can... how can he back down?
He stood up, lowered his head, and walked around it.
Like a passerby in a hurry.
Huang Di glanced at the passerby casually and smiled.
"He came, and then he left."
"coward."
The "big radish root" next to me had tears in his eyes. "Hmm?"
Huang Di looked disgusted and said, "It's nothing."
The emperor was quite "ambitious." Huang Di looked at him with disdain, "You're still like a toddler. Is it so hard to become a fat man overnight?"
The emperor stared at him with bright little eyes and exclaimed, "Aha!"
Huang Di turned his face away. "Whatever you say."
As Chi Wangyue walked around, a hurried passerby, ignoring the fact that there was no one else around except himself, turned around and subconsciously thought to himself.
"It's okay, there's always next time."
After this experience, he realized that these friends seemed to have found their own direction.
"That's great." After Chi Wangyue finished speaking, the system automatically closed without her pressing the "exit" button.
[The system has detected the host's first use of the "autonomy" right. While not mandatory, the system will automatically deactivate it due to the host's limited capabilities and inability to remain in this position for an extended period.]
Chi Wangyue "!!!"
This is something you've done without permission!!!
Cheating! This is cheating!!
Hu Li comforted him, "The main system is just like this. It's good enough that it can even understand people, which proves that the host is really excellent."
Chi Wangyue nodded, feeling exhausted, and lay down.
Memories of the day flashed through my mind.
After he fell asleep from exhaustion, Yan Tianhua explained to him that he had taken a turn on his own initiative and, without realizing it, his body had reached its limit again.
"I can't go without rest." Hu Li looked at the forced logout panel, feeling happy inside.
Although the side effects weren't mentioned, it's still quite strenuous.
After Hu Li left, she said softly, "Host, see you next time."
