Chapter 1731: Solution to the Dream-Bewildering Pearl! Let Me Handle It!

~7 min read 1,286 words

Realm Venerable!

As expected!

Xu Jingming suppressed the shock in his heart.

He stepped forward, bowed deeply, his voice steady and clear:

"Star Dome Academy student Xu Jingming greets Lord Xiyue."

His attitude was extremely respectful.

Facing an existence of this level, no amount of caution was excessive.

"Mhm."

A faint smile graced Venerable Xiyue's stunningly beautiful face.

Her autumn-water-like eyes fell upon Xu Jingming.

She scrutinized him carefully, her gaze carrying unconcealed admiration and curiosity.

"No need for excessive courtesy."

Her voice was crisp and pleasant, carrying a natural affinity:

"When you first broke through to the Eternal Life realm, I wanted to meet you.

Unfortunately, at that time I was exploring an ancient secret realm and could not leave."

She walked over slowly, silver bells chiming softly at her ankles.

Her moon-white long dress swayed gently with her steps, outlining alluring curves.

Bringing a wisp of faint fragrance, like orchid and musk.

"Unexpectedly, in merely two years' time, you have already grown to such a degree."

Venerable Xiyue looked at Xu Jingming, her tone carrying unconcealed praise:

"Eternal Life Seventh Stage, crushing invincible Eternal Lifes, capturing the Night Candle God alive, clashing head-on with the Burning Heaven Ruler......

You truly gave us a big surprise."

"Lord Xiyue overpraises.

This junior merely had some lucky opportunities; my strength is still far from enough.

Today, if not for my teacher arriving in time, this student would likely have fallen to the Burning Heaven's poisonous hands."

Xu Jingming said humbly.

"Neither arrogant nor impetuous, good."

Venerable Xiyue nodded slightly, the admiration in her eyes deepening.

She then looked at Ruler Shuangmian, her tone turning serious:

"Alright, idle talk can wait.

Shuangmian, go ahead and examine your student's condition."

At the mention of Ye Li, Ruler Shuangmian's expression tightened slightly, a trace of worry surfacing in her eyes.

Xu Jingming's mind stirred, and he carefully took Ye Li out from his World Ring.

Using divine power to gently support her, suspending her in midair.

One saw Ye Li's eyes tightly closed, long eyelashes casting faint shadows on her fair cheeks.

Her cold, clear countenance was peaceful, as if she had merely fallen into a deep sleep.

But Xu Jingming and Ruler Shuangmian both knew.

Beneath this calm appearance lay the crisis of eternal sinking brought by the Dream-Bewildering Pearl.

Venerable Xiyue stepped forward, extending fingers white and slender as jade, lightly tapping Ye Li's smooth forehead.

Her fingertips rippled with a layer of hazy moon-white radiance, gently seeping into Ye Li's glabella.

Xu Jingming held his breath and focused, watching tensely.

A moment later, Venerable Xiyue withdrew her finger.

The moon-white radiance dissipated, a look of realization appearing on her gorgeous face, then her brows furrowed slightly.

"It is indeed the effect of the Dream-Bewildering Pearl.

And the effect is not bad; it has already thoroughly corrupted the core of her consciousness sea."

Venerable Xiyue spoke, her voice carrying a trace of Solemn.

"That damn Royce!"

Ruler Shuangmian could not help but surge with anger again:

"The Dream-Bewildering race has been extinct for thousands of epochs.

Even the Dream-Bewildering Pearl's refining method has been lost; who knows where he got this thing!"

"The Burning Heaven family has a long history and deep heritage.

Having one or two Dream-Bewildering Pearls passed down from ancient times stored in the clan treasury is not strange."

Venerable Xiyue's tone was calm, but a trace of coldness also flashed in her eyes:

"The ins and outs of the matter, I already understand the gist through the message you sent back earlier, Shuangmian.

Royce colluded with foreign races, used a forbidden item to ambush a clan genius; his crimes are unpardonable.

Later at the Flame Alliance's tribunal, I will personally appear to seek justice for you and your disciple."

"Many thanks, Lord Xiyue."

Ruler Shuangmian's expression eased slightly, she bowed in thanks.

"No need for thanks, you are originally my Eternal Star Alliance's people.

Now that something has happened, I should naturally step forward."

Xiyue Zunzhe waved her hand.

Her gaze fell back onto Yeli, and a trace of solemnity appeared on her charming face:

"The current priority is still to resolve Yeli's problem."

After a pause, she continued speaking:

"The Mímèng Zhū originated from the ancient Mímèng clan.

Initially, it was not a poison, but an auxiliary treasure used by Sovereign-realm powerhouses to temper their divine sense.

Users would fall into layers of meticulously woven dreams.

Experiencing various illusions within the dream to temper the resilience of their divine sense and break through bottlenecks.

However, it was later discovered that if used on an Eternal-life realm cultivator, due to the Eternal-life realm's divine sense being far weaker than that of the Sovereign realm,

they would sink into the depths of the dream, unable to free themselves, ultimately falling into eternal slumber.

Yeli is now in this state."

"Is there a way to save her then?" The Shuāngguān Sovereign frowned tightly.

"For her to awaken on her own is nearly impossible.

The dreams of the Mímèng Zhū constantly evolve based on the user's subconscious.

Layer upon layer, endless and boundless.

The divine sense of an Eternal-life realm cultivator simply lacks the power to break through."

Xiyue Zunzhe pondered for a moment, then spoke:

"The only solution is external intervention.

Enter her dream, find her sunken core consciousness, and awaken it."

There is a solution!

Xu Jingming's eyes lit up.

But Xiyue Zunzhe's next words made the atmosphere solemn again:

"However, this method is extremely perilous.

First, the entrant cannot be of the Sovereign realm."

"Why?" The Shuāngguān Sovereign asked doubtfully.

"Because the Sovereign's divine sense is too strong."

Xiyue Zunzhe explained, "Forcibly entering the consciousness sea of an Eternal-life realm cultivator.

Would be like a boulder thrown into a shallow pool, easily triggering an instinctive backlash from Yeli's own consciousness sea.

At best, it would worsen her injuries; at worst, it would directly shatter her soul.

Therefore, it is best to find an Eternal-life realm cultivator with sufficiently strong divine sense to carry this out."

She swept her gaze over Xu Jingming and the Shuāngguān Sovereign, then continued:

"Second, the dream-entrant's own divine sense will also connect with the dream.

Within the dream, everything is illusory, everything is real.

If one becomes lost in the dream, or is harmed by dangers within the dream to their divine sense essence.

Then the entrant would at best suffer damage to their divine sense, difficult to recover.

At worst...... they would fall into eternal slumber alongside Yeli, never to awaken again."

As the words fell, the hall fell silent.

The Shuāngguān Sovereign also couldn't help but furrow her brow.

This risk is too great!

If Sovereign-realm cultivators could enter, it would still be manageable.

But which Eternal-life realm cultivator with formidable divine sense isn't a heaven-chosen prodigy?

How could they possibly risk themselves?

However, at this moment, Xu Jingming stepped forward.

His voice calm and firm, breaking the silence:

"Teacher, Xiyue my lord, let me do it."

The Shuāngguān Sovereign and Xiyue Zunzhe both looked at him.

Xu Jingming's black eyes clear, meeting the gazes of the two supreme beings, without retreat:

"My divine sense strength should meet the requirement.

And......"

He looked toward the pale, fragile Yeli floating in midair.

A flash of resolve crossed his eyes:

"Senior sister is injured because of me.

This matter, I ought to bear."

He is not a cowardly person.

When he is needed, he naturally will not hesitate.

Moreover, for Senior sister Yeli, who has helped him greatly.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Xiyue Zunzhe's autumn-water-like eyes brightened slightly:

"You are decisive, daring to risk yourself for your senior sister.

This sense of responsibility is rare among the younger generation."
