104: Chapter 103 The Way of Dreams

Ye Xiu was taken aback for a moment.

He looked at Liu Qingyan for a few seconds before finally nodding.

Master Zhang and the others stroked their beards, smiling without a word, making no move to stop Liu Qingyan.

This girl possessed peerless natural talent, but she had a bitter life.

Given her talent, she should have broken into the [Saint Realm] a hundred years ago. Unfortunately, her Dao was somewhat special, requiring an extremely high state of mind.

This resulted in her current situation.

She was still wandering within the [Tongtian Realm].

Perhaps if she could resolve the knot in her heart, she could attain the Dao in a single day and break directly into the [Saint Realm].

After seeing Ye Xiu agree,

Liu Qingyan's tense expression immediately softened considerably.

She gave a faint smile and said, "General, please follow me."

As she spoke, she had already taken to the air.

Ye Xiu was somewhat puzzled.

But they were old classmates, so he had to give her some Face.

After a few minutes of flight, the two arrived in the sky above their former academy.

Looking at the familiar yet strange buildings below,

Ye Xiu felt a surge of emotions.

Back then, he had endured great hardships just to study here. Looking back now, the world had long since changed and people were no longer the same.

The entire way down,

the two did not communicate much.

It wasn't until they arrived above the academy that Liu Qingyan spoke: "General, my Dao is the Dao of Dreams. Might I ask for some guidance?"

"Are you sure?"

Ye Xiu frowned slightly. The gap in their strength was calculated in dimensions.

There was no need to even fight.

Just his aura alone could kill her in an instant.

Seeing Liu Qingyan's serious expression, he sighed softly, treating it as giving Face to Master Zhang.

He shook his head slightly and made a gesture of invitation.

A trace of struggle appeared in Liu Qingyan's eyes. After a long while, she finally mobilized the Dao of Rules and began to perform her technique.

As the laws evolved,

the world began to turn upside down. This piece of heaven and earth seemed to be pulled into another time and space, beginning to change rapidly.

In just over ten seconds,

everything before Ye Xiu's eyes had completely changed its appearance.

It was a sunny afternoon.

In the bustling academy, countless familiar Faces were walking about.

"Hey, Brother Ye, why are you standing here dazed?"

Fatty Wang ran over somewhat anxiously, his body full of fat trembling repeatedly as he ran.

Ye Xiu paid him no mind.

Like an outsider, he watched this newly transformed world, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

The Dao of Illusions!

This was indeed a rare law.

Unfortunately, for a Cultivator of his Realm, all laws were merely decorations.

No matter how miraculous the law, he could look directly at the Origin of the Dao.

In his gaze,

this world was like a virtual construct. Aside from a layer of laws, there was basically no change; it could not affect his state of mind.

"The ability is decent, but unfortunately, it's too fragile."

He criticized slightly in his heart.

He saw the Fatty Wang in front of him run over and start talking to himself.

"Brother Ye, that charlatan girl is here recruiting people again..."

Ye Xiu didn't say anything.

He was like someone watching a movie.

He watched a person exactly like himself follow Fatty Wang away.

As the images shifted,

the illusory version of himself and Fatty Wang soon returned to the familiar Martial Arts Department.

In the small room, everything inside was so familiar.

This illusion was very mundane.

Everything that happened was just the daily trifles of the past.

"What is she doing?"

Ye Xiu was somewhat puzzled.

He raised his hand and fiddled with the illusion laws.

He made the flow of time within this illusion begin to pass at ten million times the speed.

Instantly,

scene after scene flashed by like pages of a book being flipped.

They were flashing past at extreme speed.

As time passed,

Ye Xiu's expression became more and more strange.

After a long while,

he finally broke open the illusion world.

Above the clouds,

Liu Qingyan was still standing there. Although much time had passed in the illusion, in the real world, only three minutes had gone by.

After Ye Xiu returned to reality,

he immediately complained helplessly, "I say, we're old classmates. Even if you wanted to invite me to star in a movie, you could at least give me a script about working hard and marrying a beautiful, wealthy woman."

Liu Qingyan was stunned for a moment.

She said with a bit of playfulness, "Actually, my family is still very rich."

"Forget it."

Ye Xiu shook his head slightly. "Old classmate, is this your Heart Demon?"

"I suppose so. Since mastering the rules of dreams, I have entered dreams countless times. Perhaps if this world hadn't recovered, that ending would have been our future."

"There are no 'ifs' in this world. Moving forward without looking back and facing one's true heart is the foundation of Cultivation."

"Facing one's true heart... but the Heart Demon has already been born. What is my true heart..."

Liu Qingyan sighed.

She continued, "Can the General answer a few questions of mine truthfully?"

"This Dao of yours is extremely difficult. If you trace it to its source, it's easy to fall into madness." Ye Xiu shook his head slightly, refusing Liu Qingyan's questions.

He wasn't stupid.

What this old classmate wanted to ask was perfectly obvious.

Seeing this,

a flash of disappointment appeared in Liu Qingyan's eyes.

But in just an instant, she hid her emotions.

She gave a light laugh.

She said, "Thank you, General, for taking the time to come here today."

"Regarding your Heart Demon, besides resolving the knot in your heart, I can actually perform a Physical Salvation for you."

"Physical Salvation?"

Ye Xiu didn't explain much. He tapped a finger on Liu Qingyan's brow, and the terrifying Power of the Radiant Sun turned into golden flames, rushing directly into her Sea of Consciousness.

A barrier appeared.

After protecting the area of the Sea of Consciousness representing her humanity,

the golden flames instantly became violent, igniting the entire Sea of Consciousness.

After only a few seconds passed,

shrill wails resounded throughout the Sea of Consciousness.

It was the Heart Demon!

Under the golden flames that filled the entire Sea of Consciousness, it had nowhere to hide.

Under Ye Xiu's control,

it screamed for only about a minute before being completely obliterated.

The barrier dissipated.

The Power of the Radiant Sun was withdrawn by Ye Xiu.

Looking at Liu Qingyan, whose aura was gradually rising, he shook his head slightly and said softly, "Actually, your script was quite good. You have the potential to be a director."

Liu Qingyan's aura jolted.

Just as she wanted to open her eyes,

Ye Xiu had already taken a step forward and arrived at the guest rooms of the Qingcang Daoist Sect.

"Let's go."

He picked up the still-sleeping Chu Meng and directly took to the air, flying toward the outside of the Sect.

The little girl looked like she hadn't woken up yet.

While they were discussing the Dao, she had been arranged to stay in the guest rooms of the Qingcang Daoist Sect.

After a long day of waiting,

she, who was dozing off, was suddenly picked up by one hand and was startled.

After seeing it was Ye Xiu,

she spoke with dissatisfaction: "Hey, don't grab me like a little chick."

"Don't you know who I am?"

There was a hint of helplessness in Ye Xiu's eyes. This girl's adoration for Master Zhang was not reflected on him at all.

"...Who are you? Just an arrogant fellow."

Chu Meng criticized fiercely.

She had finally met Master Zhang, but because this guy took everything upon himself, Master Zhang didn't continue listening to her talk about the Divine Cult.

Ye Xiu said in a somewhat speechless tone, "Whatever Old Daoist Zhang can do, I can do as well..."

Before he could finish,

Chu Meng interrupted with dissatisfaction: "Stop bragging."

"It seems you really don't know who I am. Fine, hurry up and show the way. My time is very precious; I don't have time to waste chatting with you here."

Ye Xiu couldn't be bothered to explain any further.
