Chapter 751: Three Emperors Enter the Dream

"Dreams are illusory; this object is real!"

The Buddha Emperor shook the stone in his hand and said, "To send a tangible object into illusion is no easy feat!"

"My two fellow cultivators, lend me your aid!"

Behind him, the Great Lun Ming Wang and the Golden Demon Emperor stepped forward simultaneously, each extending one hand to press against the old monk's back.

Boom…

Vast power converged together.

The Buddha Emperor casually hurled it with force.

The stone shot off with a hiss, straight into the world below, landing at the entrance of a ruined temple nestled among the mountains!

It landed with a soft thud.

Lost among countless other stones, utterly unremarkable.

"Phew…" The Buddha Emperor drew a deep breath. "Amitabha. Finally completed!"

"We may depart now!"

The three nodded in unison.

Yet at that very moment, an unexpected change erupted.

From below, a streak of golden light shot past, accompanied by a loud laugh—Wang Dun's distinctive voice rang out: "Mine…"

Whoosh…

The golden light instantly landed on the very spot where the stone had fallen, and Wang Dun casually picked it up in his hand.

"Trouble!" The Buddha Emperor instantly flew into rage. "This fellow… didn't enter the dream?"

"This… this… this…"

The Buddha Emperor was momentarily at a loss for what to do.

This violated the rules.

But then again, no rule stated one must enter the dream before obtaining the object.

What if someone obtained it before entering?

"What do we do?" The Buddha Emperor turned to the Great Lun Ming Wang and the Golden Demon Emperor.

The Golden Demon Emperor said, "We absolutely cannot let this fellow break the rules. No—first make him hand over the stone. Then, after he fully enters the world, we'll toss it back in!"

"Otherwise, how do we answer to the other prodigies?"

"Hmm!" The Buddha Emperor nodded.

"Go…"

The three transformed into streaks of light and instantly descended upon Wang Dun's location, surrounding him.

"Huh…?" Wang Dun said. "You're still here?"

All three fixed their gazes on Wang Dun's right hand—he held the stone.

"Mortal, this is cheating. It doesn't count!" The Buddha Emperor took a deep breath. "It must be obtained after entering the world!"

"You have not yet entered. Return the stone to me!"

"Pfft…" Wang Dun's eyes revealed a flicker of disdain. "Buddha Emperor, how magnanimous of you—deliberately tossing the stone by a ruined temple for your disciple to pick up?"

As he spoke, Wang Dun gestured toward the ruined temple with his chin.

The three Emperors looked—and saw inside the temple, lying on the ground, a handsome, ragged monk. It was none other than Mingyue.

Now the Buddha Emperor had a hundred mouths but couldn't explain himself.

Even the Golden Demon Emperor and the Great Lun Ming Wang cast him suspicious glances.

Could such a coincidence be real?

Deliberately tossing the stone right beside his own disciple?

"Amitabha…" The Buddha Emperor bowed his hands. "The pure need no defense. I am guiltless before heaven and earth—I did not know Mingyue was here!"

Whether this was true or false, no one knew.

Let him explain as he wished.

"Wang Dun!" The Golden Demon Emperor said. "Regardless, your method of acquiring the stone violates the rules. Hand it over immediately, or I revoke your participation!"

All three Emperors stared at Wang Dun.

Wang Dun sneered. "Fine… take it."

With that, Wang Dun vanished in a streak of light.

The three Emperors landed again in the void.

"What now?" The Great Lun Ming Wang turned to the other two. "That Wang Dun is extremely strange—he carries odd, mysterious things."

"I fear that even if we toss the stone down again, it'll be useless—because after we leave, he'll just go pick it up again!"

"Then we won't know whether he obtained it before or after entering the world!"

Hearing this, the other two Emperors fell silent.

Exactly.

What now?

"Wait…" The Buddha Emperor gritted his teeth. "Wang Dun may be a human prodigy with extraordinary willpower, but he cannot compare to us Emperors!"

"We need only wait here three days. Then, with our magic power, we'll send the object into this world—by then, Wang Dun will surely have entered."

The Great Lun Ming Wang and the Golden Demon Emperor nodded: "There's no other choice."

So the three Emperors remained in the void, waiting.

One day!

Two days!

Three days!

The time flow within this third dream layer was ten thousand times faster than the outside world, with a total duration of thirty thousand days—so three days made no difference.

Soon, the three days passed.

"Phew…" The Golden Demon Emperor exhaled deeply. "My spiritual sense is growing hazy—I must be affected by this dream's power."

"Yes!" The Buddha Emperor nodded. "I feel the same."

They turned to the Great Lun Ming Wang—but she said nothing. In truth, her condition was no better.

"Go…" The Buddha Emperor said. "Now, we toss the stone out—he won't sense a thing."

The Great Lun Ming Wang asked, "Will you still toss the stone by the ruined temple?"

"This…" The Buddha Emperor's face flushed slightly. "How could I? Don't tease me, friend…"

"I never deceive heaven!"

"Go!" The Buddha Emperor waved his hand to hurl the stone—but the stone did not leave his grip.

"Trouble!" The Buddha Emperor jolted. "The dream's power here has strengthened—I cannot send this stone into the dream realm alone!"

"My two friends, lend me your strength!"

The Great Lun Ming Wang and the Golden Demon Emperor adjusted their states, then each extended one hand to press against the Buddha Emperor's back.

With their power channeled into him, the Buddha Emperor surged it into his right hand and hurled the stone with all his might.

The stone became a streak of light, randomly flying off in one direction.

"Phew…" The Buddha Emperor exhaled deeply.

The task was finally complete.

Yet his gaze flickered—he raised a hand to rub his eyes. Wait… why were there three lights?

The Buddha Emperor spun around sharply—but where were the Golden Demon Emperor and the Great Lun Ming Wang?

They had vanished into streaks of light, descending into this dream world.

Entered?

"Trouble!" The Buddha Emperor was stunned. Emperors entering the world? This was extremely awkward!

Yet as he hesitated, unsure what to do, a familiar voice suddenly rang out: "Hehe… finally caught you…"

"I… this bastard…" The Buddha Emperor nearly swore aloud.

Then his vision went black—he lost consciousness.

…

"Huh…? You three old men entered too… Hahaha…"

Wang Dun hovered in the void, laughing heartily.

Then, from nowhere, he pulled out a strange talisman, instantly unfurled it, and hurled it at a speck of light. "He Pingsheng… here's a gift for you… Hahaha!"

Boom…

The talisman instantly wrapped the speck of light and shot toward the direction where He Pingsheng had fallen.
