Chapter 83

White Water Commandery.

On the seventh day of closed-door cultivation, Lin Chuan sensed a resonance; his fleshly body, viscera, meridians, and bones and blood resonated, achieving an astonishing degree of harmony.

The ultimate harmony of the fleshly body seemed to have elevated even the soul.

The Divine Soul Realm is a transformation of the soul.

At the center of the sea of consciousness, a diamond-shaped crystal gradually condensed; its birth continually increased the strength of the sea of consciousness.

The mental power of sentient beings is limited; before reaching the Divine Soul Realm, it is difficult to truly achieve one mind, two uses.

The birth of the Divine Soul will change this state.

Combat, quiet cultivation, comprehending the Dao, honing skills, and all forms of practice will see their efficiency greatly increased upon entering the Divine Soul Realm.

For cultivators, this marks the departure from the mundane, the true beginning of full contact with heaven and earth, and a milestone on the individual path of cultivation.

For Lin Chuan, the Divine Soul Realm has an even more important function.

Upon reaching this realm, he will be able to initiate free interaction of the dream cycle reincarnation.

His control over the Cleansing World Blood Lotus also greatly increased.

The turmoil in White Water Commandery was temporarily quelled.

Over the following period, Lin Chuan again toured the entire Great Yan Dynasty with Tushan Jiao Jiao, stabilizing the situation of incessant slaughter.

As for outside the Yan Dynasty, they temporarily could not manage it.

Lin Chuan's realm also became completely solidified during this period.

One month later, he returned to Yan Du.

Lin Chuan came to the Demon-Slaying Bureau to report to the Imperial Director, saying, "Imperial Director, the demon cultivator issue has been temporarily resolved; I will now go rest."

Zhu Zhengzhi gave Lin Chuan a meaningful glance, smiled and nodded, "Mm, go ahead."

After Lin Chuan left, Zhu Zhengzhi also rose and hurried toward the imperial palace.

Not long after, he arrived at the palace where the Yan Emperor resided.

These days, Zhu Zhengzhi has been monitoring the news of 'demon cultivators causing chaos' every day.

Behind the scenes, a great hand was pushing; the situation was tortuous and cloudy—what should have been a world-shaking great turmoil, he had already prepared for the worst outcome,

Yet the turmoil in the Yan Dynasty came to an abrupt halt.

Meanwhile, the turmoil outside the Yan Dynasty continued and intensified.

Zhu Zhengzhi naturally knew who the key figure was that could free the Yan Dynasty from turmoil: it was that Lin lad who only knew how to sleep.

If I'm not mistaken, it must be the powerful figure behind Lin Chuan who made a move!

Having deduced the cause and effect, Zhu Zhengzhi dared not delay; he immediately went to the palace and reported the cause and effect to the Yan Emperor.

"Understood."

Facing Zhu Zhengzhi's incessant exposition, the Yan Emperor waved his hand lightly, "Do not publicize this matter; take the credit yourself."

Zhu Zhengzhi bowed with clasped hands and lowered his brow, "Your Majesty, in pacifying the turmoil, Lin Chuan's merit is paramount; I dare not take credit for another's achievement."

The Yan Emperor furrowed his brow.

From the emperor's perspective, he found Zhu Zhengzhi satisfactory in every regard, except that he was too upright in some matters.

What good is merit anyway!

The entire Great Yan Dynasty was created by the ancestors just to keep the Lin Chuan ancestors company.

If it weren't for the ancestors' rules, he wouldn't want to be this emperor, staying in a spiritually barren little island and ruining his prospects.

Everyone thought he emerged victorious from the succession struggle and was a capable emperor of his generation.

Little did they know that the Yan family were the most incompetent when it came to being emperors.

"Cough cough."

The Yan Emperor very much wanted to explain the truth, but thinking of the Lin Chuan ancestor's admonition, he restrained himself and casually found a reason to explain:

"Lin Chuan, as a genius sword cultivator, is the future of our Yan Dynasty; it is absolutely impossible to let him be in the limelight and incur envy."

"I understand, your servant."

Upon receiving the Yan Emperor's order, Zhu Zhengzhi finally relaxed his breath, bade farewell, and left.

After a long while, the Yan Emperor gazed outward with burning eyes, "The ancestor is ultimately the ancestor; even if he walks the path of cultivation again, his demeanor remains peerless."

If it weren't for the Lin Chuan ancestor's intervention, he might not have been able to quell this turmoil.

With the Lin Chuan ancestor present, the Great Yan Dynasty is at peace.

……

Lin Manor.

Upon returning home, Lin Chuan immediately sought out his sister Lin Yangyang.

A great being reincarnated, right?

This time let me see just what kind of great being you are!

Lin Chuan wanted to experience multi-person linked dream reincarnation; the best choice naturally was Mo Sangyu, Yun Zhi Yi, and Tu Shan Jiao Jiao, the three ladies.

But constrained by the Demon Venerable Lady's violent temper, he could only settle for second best.

He sought his sister Lin Yangyang and the maid Lü Ya.

Lin Chuan remained quite curious about his sister's past life.

As for Lü Ya, having been a maid for ninety-nine lifetimes, she is foolish and dull; likely in every reincarnation she is a little simpleton.

Over these days, Lin Chuan gained many dream points by altering his daughter Xiao Rumeng's real-world condition and reviving the Lady Jiao Jiao, among other events.

He finally accumulated 550,000 points.

Purchasing the 'High-Level Fantasy World' entry requires 500,000 points, which is also the primary condition for initiating high-level dream cycle reincarnation.

The condition for initiating dream cycle reincarnation linkage is having previously been in the same reincarnation; no extra points are needed, but entry selection will be restricted.

As of now, Lin Chuan still hasn't figured out the concrete relationship between Dream Reincarnation and reality.

Are the events in reincarnation a fixed reality, or can they be altered—a special Shikong world where effect precedes cause?

From the fact that he can activate the 'Trait Selection' and 'Free Interaction' functions, he leans more toward the latter.

In the real world, he can change the past through Dream Reincarnation.

As for the Dream Reincarnation of the future world, he has never encountered it.

Maybe there is, maybe there isn't.

At the dinner table, Lin Chuan and Lin Yangyang sat side by side; after receiving feedback from the Purifying Red Lotus, his cultivation level once again surpassed his sister's.

Lin Yangyang remains at the peak of the Embryonic Transformation Realm, while he has already stepped into the Divine Soul Realm.

"Sis, how's the business at the firm lately?"

"Smooth! So smooth it's indescribable."

Lin Yangyang elegantly tasted the delicacies, smiling as she said: "Thanks to your position in the Demon Slaying Bureau, the status of the Lin Family Firm has risen high."

"In just a few months, aside from our foundation, our firm's reputation can now stand shoulder-to-shoulder with those time-honored shops that have been passed down for hundreds of years."

The family business keeps growing, cultivation hasn't been delayed, little brother's future is bright as brocade, and Lin Yangyang feels life is so wonderful.

Lin Chuan chimed in with a laugh: "Our Lin family ancestral grave is practically blowing green smoke."

Having said that, he held Lin Yangyang's arms, adjusted her body to face him, and the two locked eyes,

"Sis, look at me, what's different about me today?"

"What's different?"

A flicker of slight surprise flashed in Lin Yangyang's eyes.

In that instant just now, she seemed to see her little brother's pupils turn into layers of vortices; was it an illusion?

Probably, right?

After looking for a while, Lin Yangyang couldn't see anything special: "Nothing's different."

"Alright."

Lin Chuan's goal has already been achieved.

A system prompt rang in his mind.

【Ding! Congratulations, host, you have completed planting the 'Dream Seed', planting target: Lin Yangyang.】

【You have met the basic conditions to activate the Dream Cycle Linkage with 'Lin Yangyang'.】
