Chapter 307: Dream Interpretation

October 21st.

Three days after the 'Dao Lineage Joint Verification', the people from the Shangqing Sect, the Yuhua Sect, and the imperial court left the Daluo Sect one after another.

Imperial Preceptor Xiang Yunshu and Li Fei, Luo Shi, and others took a special train to leave Daluo Town, preparing to return to Lanling City.

In these three days, the news of the Daluo Sect changing its Sect Master had spread across the land!

Naturally, the imperial court had been pushing this behind the scenes, so now the matter of Long Hu becoming the new Sect Master of the Daluo Sect had completely become a foregone conclusion.

The whole world knew it!

Xiang Yunshu stayed in the Daluo Sect for three days, also watching with his own eyes as Long Hu step by step took charge of the Daluo Sect, truly mastering the Daluo Sect's mountain-sealing array, the Scripture Pavilion, the Elixir Refining Room, the Tool Refining Room, and other key areas, before choosing to leave.

On the special train, Li Fei stayed alone in a compartment.

He was still fighting True Person Qingxu in his dreams.

For one thing, this was a rare opportunity to hone his martial arts techniques and increase his knowledge.

For another, although the matter had ended, he was still very curious about the truth behind this matter.

Having worked so hard to explore for so long, it made no sense not to give himself a result.

Therefore, Li Fei would consume void thought every day to enter the dream and fight the 'BOSS'.

After witnessing the battle between True Person Qingxu and Long Hu, Li Fei had a more intuitive understanding of True Person Qingxu's thunder techniques.

This helped him better execute the dream-control technique to weaken True Person Qingxu.

As a result, his progress in fighting the 'BOSS' was better each time.

October 24th.

The special train was about to drive out of Ming Province, where the Daluo Sect was located.

This afternoon, Li Fei completed the breakthrough of 【Illusion Leaf】 in the compartment—

Breaking through from the middle stage of God Transformation to the late stage of God Transformation!

The middle stage of God Transformation could directly imprint techniques onto one's own void thought, thereby achieving instantaneous technique casting.

The late stage of God Transformation could 'add imprints' to techniques that had already been imprinted, thereby strengthening them, allowing a technique that originally only had '1' power to become '2', '3', or even more when cast!

The first technique Li Fei imprinted in his void thought was the dream-control technique; now that he had broken through, he immediately 'added an imprint' to the dream-control technique.

Two hours later, he entered the dream again.

This time, the dream-control technique was strengthened, and Li Fei further weakened True Person Qingxu.

Not only did he weaken his realm and techniques, but he also weakened his magic treasures and magic tools.

Li Fei fought True Person Qingxu in the dream for more than ten minutes, smashing all the protective magic tools on the other party's body!

Even for a True Person, the physical strength was far inferior to that of a martial artist; once the protective magic tools and techniques were broken, the person was actually very 'fragile'.

Added to the fact that the space where the two could fight was limited to this great hall, it was very disadvantageous for dodging.

So after a hard entanglement for a while, Li Fei seized an opportunity to get close and punched through True Person Qingxu's chest!

True Person Qingxu in the dream opened his eyes wide and slowly fell down.

"Finally won!"

Li Fei let out a heavy breath, and then a strong sense of accomplishment arose.

Full of joy!

At this moment, he discovered that compared to unraveling the truth, the obsession with defeating this 'BOSS' in the dream seemed to be heavier.

As True Person Qingxu fell, Li Fei discovered that his control over the entire dream had improved linearly!

"It seems that True Person Qingxu is indeed True Person Qingding's obsession."

Li Fei confirmed his guess.

This dream was constructed based on True Person Qingding's memory; previously, no matter how Li Fei drove the dream-control technique, he could not achieve complete control over this dream, and could at most exert influence on True Person Qingxu in the dream.

Now that he had killed True Person Qingxu, that part of the dream that had always been locked was finally opened to him, allowing him to completely control the dream.

This showed that True Person Qingxu occupied a very important position in this memory of True Person Qingding, and had become the greatest obsession in the other party's heart.

Therefore, when True Person Qingding's memory evolved into a dream, True Person Qingxu in the dream became the greatest obstacle for Li Fei to control the dream.

Only by killing True Person Qingxu could Li Fei 'interpret the dream'.

After completely controlling the dream, Li Fei's heart moved, and the scene before him changed accordingly:

In a spacious room, all around were wooden shelves, and on the wooden shelves were placed medicine bottles and wooden boxes in grids.

In the center of the room was a huge elixir furnace more than five meters high and more than three meters wide.

Two carved golden dragons were lifelike, circling the elixir furnace on the left and right.

Below the elixir furnace was a huge magic array, and the magic array was emitting scorching firelight, continuously injecting terrifying high temperatures into the elixir furnace.

Li Fei saw at a glance that this should be True Person Qingding's elixir refining room.

Inside the elixir refining room, an old man wearing a Daoist robe, with somewhat disheveled hair and white beard and hair, was concentrating on processing the medicinal materials in his hands.

He was True Person Qingding, the number one elixir refiner in the world.

Suddenly, the bell hanging on the door of the elixir room rang.

True Person Qingding looked up at the door and casually cast a streak of true power.

The next second, the door of the elixir room slowly opened.

True Person Qingxu walked in from outside the door.

"Senior Brother."

True Person Qingding put down the medicinal materials in his hands and turned to look at True Person Qingxu.

Li Fei, who was in a 'bystander' state, felt his spirit lift, knowing that he was about to see the truth of this incident:

True Person Qingxu walked into the elixir refining room, and the door behind him closed again.

"How is the extraction of the dragon Qi going?"

True Person Qingxu asked.

True Person Qingding turned to look at that elixir furnace and shook his head:

"The dragon Qi absorbed this time is negligible, far inferior to before. Senior Brother, is it possible that they have already noticed?"

True Person Qingxu was silent upon hearing this.

True Person Qingding was terrified, and suddenly turned to look at True Person Qingxu:

"Senior Brother?"

True Person Qingxu's face was as heavy as water, and he said in a deep voice:

"Just this morning, two of the fortune golden lotuses in the thunder pool withered."

"What?!"

True Person Qingding's expression changed drastically.

Li Fei, who was 'listening in', also felt his heart sway.

Because he had completely controlled this dream, so at this moment, after hearing these key terms, he could automatically acquire relevant memories.

For example, 'dragon Qi extraction':

Over the years, the Longevity Elixir given to the Emperor by the Daluo Sect had been secretly tampered with, capable of silently absorbing the Son of Heaven's dragon Qi!

In the case of the lost Longevity Elixir, on the surface, it was True Person Qingding being blinded by greed, stealing and replacing the materials sent by the imperial court in order to refine the elixir of immortality.

But in reality, it was True Person Qingxu using his means of seizing the creation of heaven and earth, combined with True Person Qingding's number one elixir refining technique in the world, to jointly steal the Son of Heaven's dragon Qi!

The reason why this world could have techniques was essentially because some ethereal things could cause an impact on reality through special means.

A person's fortune was also an ethereal existence, and was also the 'material' required by many techniques.

The stronger a person's strength, the higher their status, and the greater their influence, the stronger their fortune would be, eventually turning into luck.

And the Son of Heaven's dragon Qi was the most powerful kind of luck in the world!

Back then, the majestic momentum Li Fei perceived from the Emperor in the Zheng Lan Hall was actually an external manifestation of the Son of Heaven's dragon Qi.

True Person Qingxu and True Person Qingding joined forces to steal the Son of Heaven's dragon Qi from the Emperor through the Longevity Elixir.

Whether it was the means or the courage, it could be called unprecedented!

"How could the fortune golden lotus suddenly wither?"

True Person Qingding looked at True Person Qingxu in horror.

The Daluo Sect had a thunder pool, which was built by the Daluo Sect's founding ancestor himself and had existed for more than eight hundred years.

This thunder pool nurtured the fortune golden lotus, and this golden lotus was related to the fortune of the entire Daluo Sect, causing an impact on all aspects of the Daluo Sect.

The better the golden lotus grew and the more there were, the more the Daluo Sect could flourish, with talented disciples emerging one after another, and powerhouses appearing in every generation!

Conversely, if something went wrong with the golden lotus, it meant that the Daluo Sect would encounter a crisis and the sect would be damaged.

After more than eight hundred years of effort by the Daluo Sect, only six fortune golden lotuses were barely nurtured in the thunder pool, and as a result, two of them suddenly withered!

This meant that the Daluo Sect was about to encounter a huge crisis!

Appearing with such a sign at this time, True Person Qingding immediately realized the most likely result—

Their matter of stealing the Son of Heaven's dragon Qi had already been discovered by the imperial court!

"Senior Brother, this."

True Person Qingding was somewhat panicked.

He usually either practiced or refined elixirs, and naturally had various resources provided to him, almost never encountering any setbacks, so for a time he could not think of any way to deal with it.

"Junior Brother, do not panic; the imperial court may not necessarily do anything to the Daluo Sect."

True Person Qingxu said calmly.

"How is that possible?"

True Person Qingding subconsciously retorted, "For this kind of thing, how can the Emperor endure it?"

"Fortune is inherently an ethereal thing; even if they have noticed it, they cannot produce concrete evidence. Moreover, this matter relates to the face of the royal family, and I am afraid it is not easy to bring it to the table. Without proof and without reason, how are they going to move against my Daluo Sect?"

True Person Qingxu said with a calm face.

"But."

True Person Qingding frowned, "What if the Emperor is furious and insists on moving against the Daluo Sect? It is not like they cannot find an excuse, right?"

No matter how powerful the Daluo Sect was, it was ultimately unable to contend with the number one empire in the world.

"That is true; if the Emperor insists on revenge, he can ultimately find an excuse."

True Person Qingxu nodded.

"Then how should we respond?"

"We do not know when the Emperor will retaliate or how he will retaliate; rather than guarding against thieves all day and being fearful, it is better to take the initiative to send an excuse to the other party and take the initiative to choose the price we will pay."

"Take the initiative to send an excuse?"

True Person Qingding revealed a look of confusion.

"That is right."

True Person Qingxu looked at True Person Qingding, revealing a look of compassion, "It is just that it will wrong you, Junior Brother."

"Senior Brother?"

Boom!

A streak of purple thunder was generated out of thin air, instantly breaking the protective magic tool on True Person Qingding's body.

True Person Qingxu happened to lightly point a finger at this moment, hitting True Person Qingding's chest.

The next second, True Person Qingding's body trembled, completely losing the power to resist!

What he was best at was refining elixirs, and his life-bound magic tool was that elixir furnace in the room; he was not good at fighting to begin with.

Added to the huge realm gap between him and True Person Qingxu, he was subdued in one move.

True Person Qingding looked at his Senior Brother in disbelief, unable to believe that the other party would make a move against him.

True Person Qingxu's expression was compassionate, but his eyes were very firm:

"Junior Brother, what you and I are doing relates to the future of my Daoist school, and also relates to our common vision. We have already reached this step, and there is no reason to give up. As for the road ahead, Senior Brother will continue to walk it for you."

True Person Qingding's eyes were wide with anger, desperately using his true power to impact the restraint on his body, but it was like a mayfly shaking a big tree, having no effect at all.

"Sigh."

True Person Qingxu sighed, slightly loosening the restraint on True Person Qingding, allowing him to speak.

"Sacrificing me, and you can continue to walk on?!"

This was the first sentence True Person Qingding asked.

He did not understand True Person Qingxu's choice.

True Person Qingxu nodded and explained patiently:

"Matters have reached this point; if a sufficiently weighty explanation is not given, the Emperor will not let it rest."

True Person Qingding laughed out of anger: "So I am that explanation? You want to push all the blame for this onto me? Will the Emperor believe it?!"

"Junior Brother, you still do not understand."

True Person Qingxu's expression had already calmed down, "In this matter, what the truth is is not important; what is important is whether the two sides can reach a consensus. Handing you over is just the first step; it is the step I take the initiative to hand to the other side.

Over the years, the Emperor and that Chief Secretary have been weakening my Daoist school, wanting to completely control the local Justice Academies. I take the initiative to hand out this step, which will be exactly what they want. Next, I will also publicly announce that the Daluo Sect will seal the mountain for ten years."

"What did you say?!"

True Person Qingding's eyes widened.

True Person Qingxu looked at him calmly: "The Daluo Sect sealing the mountain for ten years is the second explanation. Only in this way can the Emperor temporarily suppress his anger and no longer pursue this matter. And even if he is still not satisfied, he will choose to take the Justice Academies in all places into his hands first, and finally find time to deal with me."

Speaking of this, his eyes became bright, with a bit more scorching heat:

"But you know, there is no need to seal the mountain for ten years at all; as long as you give me a few more years, our concept can be completed!"

'Hearing' this, Li Fei finally had an understanding of the ins and outs of this incident.

He had originally thought that True Person Qingding was pushed out to take the blame, but he did not expect that True Person Qingding could not be considered innocent, and was also one of the culprits.

It was just that the other party's strength was not as good as True Person Qingxu's, and in the end, he was pushed out to shoulder all the blame.

This made Li Fei feel admiration for True Person Qingxu's means.

Taking the initiative to choose to lose the Longevity Elixir, then taking the initiative to find an 'excuse' for the imperial court, fabricating the matter of True Person Qingding deceiving the Emperor by coveting the imperial court's materials, and finally taking the opportunity to announce sealing the mountain for ten years.

It was simply that everything had been prepared, and the imperial court only needed to follow the trend to achieve all its goals, and there was absolutely no reason to refuse.

"But True Person Qingxu probably did not expect that the imperial court's final choice was not to let the Daluo Sect seal the mountain, but to let the Daluo Sect change heaven and earth!"

Li Fei thought so.

In fact, the Daluo Sect sealing the mountain was more conducive to the imperial court completely controlling the Justice Academies in all places. Just changing a Sect Master, the future matters were really hard to say.

Perhaps it was because His Majesty the Emperor was furious and insisted on making True Person Qingxu pay the price?

Li Fei continued to watch this dream from the sidelines.

He wanted to know what the common vision of True Person Qingxu and True Person Qingding was?

Why did the two of them steal the Son of Heaven's dragon Qi?

And why did he possess this dream?

What exactly was his relationship with this matter?

There will be another chapter around 12 o'clock at night.
