Chapter 310: Invincible in the World

~15 min read 2,980 words

The Dream-Command Token was a True One magic tool left behind by the founding ancestor of the Dream-Nightmare Sect, a True Person.

This True One magic tool was inherently a magic tool most suitable for casting dream techniques, but it had always been in a 'sleeping' state.

After incorporating True Person Qingding's true soul, the Dream-Command Token was automatically triggered, constructing a dream based on this wisp of true soul of True Person Qingding and Ai Liangshan's self-consciousness.

True Person Qingding's true soul was already very weak at this time, and had no power to resist at all, let alone occupy the magpie's nest and control this True One magic tool.

It was just that although the dream was formed, the Dream-Command Token was after all in a 'sleeping' state; if Li Fei did not actively investigate, he would not be able to discover this dream.

Li Fei recalled that it was the third night after he arrived at the Daluo Sect that he entered the dream for the first time.

Afterwards, it was when he went to Tianqu University to participate in the Martial Arts Exchange Tournament that he entered the dream twice in succession.

These three times entering the dream had one common point—True Person Qingxia was present.

Ai Liangshan was True Person Qingxia's disciple; the other party had previously said publicly in the Grand Void Hall that she had used the method of divination to calculate Ai Liangshan's cause of death, but had been hindered by True Person Qingxu's means of covering up the heavenly secrets.

Li Fei guessed that the three times he entered the dream should all be because True Person Qingxia's divination had affected the heavenly secrets, thereby triggering Ai Liangshan's self-consciousness, which was why he entered the dream.

In the compartment, after Li Fei completely 'interpreted the dream', he slowly opened his eyes.

Now he had almost figured out the ins and outs of the whole matter, and understood why he had become involved in this matter.

Only the last bit was missing—what exactly were True Person Qingxu and True Person Qingding plotting all these years by secretly stealing the Son of Heaven's dragon Qi?

What kind of plan was it that made True Person Qingxu willing to kill True Person Qingding, such an important elixir refiner, with his own hands, and willing to seal the mountain for ten years to complete?

Li Fei touched the Dream-Command Token in his bosom with his hand.

After he 'interpreted the dream', True Person Qingding's true soul also completely 'woke up', and the two could communicate directly.

"Does this count as carrying a grandfather with me?"

Li Fei could not help but laugh.

For a true soul like True Person Qingding's, the Dream-Command Token was almost the best place to reside, but the subsequent 'nourishment' still had to rely on Li Fei.

And now True Person Qingding's true soul was extremely weak, and Li Fei could extinguish it with a single thought.

It could be said that in front of True Person Qingding, Li Fei occupied absolute initiative!

Li Fei probed his void thought into the Dream-Command Token and contacted True Person Qingding's true soul:

"True Person."

"I did not expect that the Dream-Command Token, which had been stolen from the Dream-Nightmare Sect for more than ten years, would actually be in your hands; who are you?"

True Person Qingding asked.

He had been attracted by the Dream-Command Token at the time, and when he entered it, he simply did not have time to check Li Fei's identity, only knowing that the other party should be a visitor from the thirteen universities, and was very young, and should be a student of some university.

"True Person, why not answer my question first?"

"Heh, now that you are the knife and I am the fish, if you want to ask something, I will naturally say it. I consider myself to still have some value; how do you plan to deal with me in the future?"

A contemporary True Person, and also the number one elixir refiner in the world, was this just 'some value'?

Li Fei was secretly happy in his heart, and said to True Person Qingding:

"Then I will speak plainly: from now on, you may rest easy and live within this Dream-Like Decree. I will properly nourish your true soul, so you need not have any worries. In return, I require your experience and knowledge, and I hope you will tell me everything you know."

True Person Qingding was silent for a moment.

In fact, just as he said, one is the knife and the other is the fish.

Now in this state of his, he could not even sign a vow technique with Li Fei; if he did not want to completely dissipate from the world, he could only agree to Li Fei's request.

Fortunately, Li Fei still gave him face, and was quite respectful in his language, not directly saying: "Old man, if you don't want to die, just be obedient!"

This made True Person Qingding feel much better.

"Good, but I have a word first; many inheritances I learned from the Daluo Sect have made vows, and now I only have a wisp of true soul remaining; if I break the vow, I will immediately turn into ashes. If you want to obtain the inheritance of the Daluo Sect from me, I am afraid it will be very difficult."

True Person Qingding said.

"No matter."

Li Fei did not care about this.

It was not that he did not covet the inheritance of the Daluo Sect, but compared to a complete person, wanting to make a wisp of true soul 'break the vow' was much simpler to operate.

There would always be a way in the future.

"True Person, tell me first, what exactly are you and True Person Qingxu plotting? Why do you want to steal the Son of Heaven's dragon Qi?"

Li Fei asked.

"."

True Person Qingding was silent.

"Why, could it be that this matter also signed a vow?"

Li Fei was somewhat suspicious.

Such a big matter, if it was not something one truly wanted to do, relying only on vow techniques to constrain it would inevitably fail.

Therefore, he did not think True Person Qingxu would let True Person Qingding sign a vow on this matter.

". This matter did not sign a vow, but I can roughly guess what he, Qingxu, wants to do next."

True Person Qingding said slowly:

"If I don't tell you, he might still have a chance of success. If I tell you, his chance of success will be even smaller."

"Up to now, you still want to hide it for him?"

Li Fei felt it was somewhat incredible.

Qingding had been harmed by Qingxu to this extent, and he was actually still thinking for the other party?

"You misunderstood."

True Person Qingding sensed Li Fei's thoughts, "This matter was actually my concept at the beginning, and he helped me perfect this concept bit by bit. So this can be said to be a dream shared by both of us."

"So now even if you have become like this, you are still fantasizing about the dream coming true?"

". At least, I don't want to ruin this dream because of me."

"."

Li Fei was somewhat speechless.

But he could also somewhat understand True Person Qingding.

This world was never short of idealists.

Lanling City, inner city.

Ye Mansion.

In this imperial capital, there were many wealthy families with the surname Ye, and even several cabinet officials had the surname Ye.

But mentioning 'Ye Mansion', people would only think of one at the first moment—the mansion of the current Chief Secretary Ye Zean.

It was already past 10 o'clock at night.

Ye Zean returned to the Ye Mansion from the imperial palace, which was relatively rare.

This Chief Secretary had been in office for forty-six years, and except for a few days of annual leave each year, he would always go to the Zixu Hall of the Cabinet Academy on time every day to handle official business, and would be busy until nightfall before ending.

So many times Ye Zean would simply sleep in the Cabinet Academy and not go home.

Out of more than three hundred days a year, the total time this Chief Secretary spent the night in the luxurious mansion bestowed by the Emperor did not exceed thirty days.

Tonight, the Chief Secretary returned to the mansion, and the entire mansion became busy.

Ye Zean had two sons and one daughter, none of whom entered the imperial court to be officials.

Only the second son had the talent for martial arts and could accommodate an implant, but his realm was still stuck at the early stage of Qi Transformation, and he was just an ordinary martial artist.

Looking at the Great Lan Dynasty, having such a father who held power over the imperial court, but living so 'uselessly', were only these few children of Ye Zean.

Ye Zean had never had any words or good looks for his own children, and after returning to the mansion late at night, he directly dismissed the three who came to pay their respects, and finally played cards in the study with one of his students.

This was a kind of card game among the people of the Great Lan Dynasty, named 'Dou Jiang'.

At most four people could play, and at least two people could play.

Ye Zean, this Chief Secretary, did not like beauties, did not like fine wine and food, did not like gold, silver, jewelry, or rare treasures and strange toys.

His only hobby was playing 'Dou Jiang'.

But he only played it in private with a few good friends or his own students.

"Tingzhong."

Ye Zean opened his mouth while playing cards, "What do you think about the Daluo Sect changing its Sect Master?"

The person sitting opposite Ye Zean was named Hu Tingzhong, thirty-five years old this year, and was already a cabinet member, a Zixu Hall Grand Secretary!

Hu Tingzhong was the youngest 'Cabinet Elder' in the Cabinet Academy, and also Ye Zean's proud student.

Many people felt that Ye Zean was cultivating Hu Tingzhong as the next Chief Secretary, intending for the other party to take over his mantle!

Hu Tingzhong did not look amazing, and his skin was somewhat dark; he looked like he had no romantic charm, and also had no 'Cabinet Elder' momentum.

Compared to the others who were restrained and nervous in front of Ye Zean, he appeared much more casual, studying his card type while saying:

"I don't know the reason behind this, but I think letting the Daluo Sect seal the mountain for ten years is better than changing the Sect Master. With ten years of time, the teacher and His Majesty can naturally hold the entire Daoist school in their hands."

After speaking, he played a card.

Although he did not know the reason behind this matter, he could see that the entire incident was actually a trap set by Ye Zean and the Emperor.

It was aimed at the Daluo Sect, and also at the entire Daoist school.

In this trap, even powerhouses like True Persons and Martial Saints were nothing more than chess pieces on the chessboard!

"Hmm."

Ye Zean was not at all surprised by Hu Tingzhong's judgment; if he did not even have this bit of judgment, he would not be worthy of being his student.

He said calmly:

"True Person Qingxu and True Person Qingding joined forces to steal the Son of Heaven's dragon Qi through the Longevity Elixir; this is the reason for this incident."

Hu Tingzhong's hand holding the cards shook upon hearing this, and he almost dropped all the cards.

He looked up at his teacher with a look of astonishment after a moment.

After a moment, he reacted and said:

"So changing the Sect Master was His Majesty's request? He can no longer endure True Person Qingxu even for a moment?"

"No."

Ye Zean said indifferently, "His Majesty still has grand plans to unfold; he can let True Person Qingxu go for now. Changing the Sect Master was my idea."

"Ah?"

Hu Tingzhong revealed a look of surprise for the second time.

Seeing Ye Zean silent, he knew that this was a test from his teacher, so he quickly thought about it.

Soon, he thought of the answer:

"The teacher is not at ease with True Person Qingxu?"

Ye Zean looked at the cards in his hand: "Taking the world as a chessboard, the world seen in the eyes is extremely large, and one always feels that everyone in this world is a chess piece, even True Persons and Martial Saints are no exception."

While speaking, he played a card:

"But for a figure like the Daluo Sect Sect Master, he has the possibility of overturning the chessboard at any time; I cannot endure him for another ten years."

True Person Qingxu's explanation to the imperial court was that stealing the dragon Qi was only to pursue the elixir of immortality.

But Ye Zean did not believe it.

He was unwilling to give the other party more time, and would rather pay some price to make sure the other party was knocked off the throne!

As Ye Zean kept playing cards, Hu Tingzhong discovered that he was about to be 'beaten' to death, and no matter how he played the remaining cards in his hand, he would lose.

So he discarded the cards and bowed to Ye Zean:

"Student has been taught."

Just as he sat down again and finished shuffling the cards, preparing to play another round with Ye Zean, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the study.

Subsequently, the voice of a eunuch came in:

"Chief Secretary, His Majesty summons you to the palace immediately!"

Hu Tingzhong was stunned, and looked up at Ye Zean.

Summoning the Chief Secretary to the palace so late at night, there must be a major event!

Ye Zean's expression was calm; he stood up unhurriedly, pushed the door, and walked out.

Under the night, the entire Lanling City was brightly lit.

It was peaceful.

Daluo Sect, back mountain forbidden area.

Inside the cave dwelling, True Person Qingxu held the golden lotus transformed from the Daluo Sect's eight hundred years of fortune in his palm.

With this fortune in hand, he easily blocked Long Hu's attack.

Subsequently, he waved his sleeve, and the runes engraved on the stone walls around the entire cave dwelling all lit up, as if the sky full of stars had lit up!

Countless streaks of invisible power projected onto Long Hu, firmly suppressing him on the spot.

At this moment, Long Hu not only lost control of the restrictions in this forbidden area, but was also temporarily suppressed by the restrictions inside this cave dwelling!

With the Daluo Sect's eight hundred years of fortune in hand, True Person Qingxu, even if he had handed over the Daluo Token, could easily control everything in the Daluo Sect!

If Long Hu were a True Person, there would still be a chance to fight for control with True Person Qingxu through the Daluo Token.

But now Long Hu could only rely on his own strength to counterattack.

His entire body radiated dazzling, scorching light!

In an instant, the cave dwelling shook, as if the entire Daluo Peak was shaking violently!

But in reality, the cave dwelling did not shake, and Daluo Peak did not move; it was just that two kinds of Dao rules were colliding intensely, thereby causing the space to vibrate!

"I originally thought it was all thanks to Xiang Yunshu helping in the dark that you, Uncle-Master, could defeat me that day. Now it seems I underestimated you, Uncle-Master."

True Person Qingxu looked at Long Hu before him with appreciation.

The collision of Dao rules at this moment was a real, solid clash of power and realm; the strength Long Hu displayed was even stronger than that battle on the Cloud Sea Terrace back then!

True Person Qingxu was not someone who liked to talk nonsense; the reason he was still talking to Long Hu at this moment was because the preparations he needed to make had not been done yet, and he was still waiting for a response from the outside world.

"Die—"

Long Hu threw both fists, and the magnificent power of the Dao rules was like a raging wave from the nine heavens, pouring out!

All the sorcerers and martial artists of the twelve peaks of the Daluo Sect sensed this magnificent wave of power and felt awe in their hearts.

True Person Qingxu stood unmoved like a mountain, easily resolving this wave of offensive on the spot:

"It is useless; today, let alone you, Uncle-Master, even if Xiang Yunshu were present, the two of you joining forces would be useless."

His temperament in daily life looked like an immortal, very refined.

But at this moment, his edge was revealed, possessing the domineering and confident air of being the only one supreme in the nine heavens and ten earths!

True Person Qingxu opened his arms, his voice like thunder, resounding throughout the entire Daluo Sect territory:

"As long as I am within this Daluo Sect, I am invincible in the world!"

The second update is around 12 o'clock at night, begging for monthly votes.

PS: I saw everyone's comments; thank you all for your concern. Let me say it simply:

I bought the house in Chengdu; there is no problem with the house source, because the landlord was in a hurry to sell, so it was indeed very lucky to pick up a bargain. I will work hard to update and pay off the loan~
