40: Dream within a dream

“That’s not right! Today isn’t the Day of the Red Moon!”

“But why is Mr. Li in this state?”

“Could it really be related to my aunt?”

“The cause of all this is my aunt’s immortal power!”

Nie Mingjue didn’t have time to think much.

The important thing now was to quickly find the Ice Cellar.

Under the ancient locust tree.

Li Changfeng lay on Chen Anan, his eyes tightly shut.

He didn’t look to be in good condition.

Chen Anan was extremely anxious. She reached out and gently stroked Li Changfeng’s small face.

“Master, you must wake up!” Chen Anan showed a serious expression.

Li Changfeng’s face was pale, and he just lay there.

There was no sign of him waking up.

In the dream.

Li Changfeng, dressed in a green robe, floated on the water’s surface.

White mist swirled around him, making it impossible to see the surrounding environment.

“Where is this?” Li Changfeng frowned tightly.

“Boy, you’re here!”

Suddenly, a voice came from within the dream.

Li Changfeng’s heart trembled. He looked up towards the source of the voice.

But the figure was deep within the thick fog.

He couldn’t see it at all!

“Who are you?” Li Changfeng clenched his fists tightly.

Who is playing tricks!

Watch me use my immortal power to drag you out!

Li Changfeng gently raised his hand and lightly pointed a finger.

A burst of white mist exploded from the source of the voice!

Boom!

Waves surged several feet high.

They pressed towards Li Changfeng.

“What the hell is going on!” Li Changfeng’s pupils sharply contracted.

“Boy, with your meager immortal power, you still want to provoke me?”

The voice came again.

Li Changfeng frowned, sensing that something was amiss.

Who exactly is it?

Why does my immortal power have no effect against this person!

“Who are you?”

Li Changfeng lightly tapped his toes, stepping on the water’s surface, attempting to rise into the air.

However, he couldn’t sense his immortal power, and his body had no strength.

“Don’t move around, you’ll die.” The voice rang out again.

Thump!

With a dull thud.

Li Changfeng, unable to use his immortal power, fell into the water.

He gradually sank, and his vision turned dark.

“Where am I?”

“It’s so dark here.......”

“Is this a dream within a dream?”

Li Changfeng felt a strong sense of suffocation.

After a long while, his eyes suddenly opened wide.

His vision gradually cleared.

This scene startled him.

“Oh, not bad, you fell into the Water Prison and didn’t die?” Another familiar voice spoke.

Was the Water Prison the place he had just fallen into?

“The Water Prison?” Li Changfeng coughed several times. He looked up, assessing the Old Gentleman before him.

Dressed in white, a breeze swept past.

It lifted his sleeves, sending them into the air.

The Old Gentleman had a red lotus mark on his forehead, truly a person of immortal grace and bearing.

“Senior, where is this?” Li Changfeng asked anxiously.

Even though he knew this was a dream.

But the feeling in this dream was so real!

This was not simply a dream!

“You already know this is a dream, yet you still ask me?” The Old Gentleman snorted coldly, appearing to have a bad temper.

“How do you know?” Li Changfeng’s pupils contracted.

He hadn’t spoken just now!

But how did this Old Gentleman know what he was thinking?

How strange!

“In my territory, what don’t I know?” The Old Gentleman held his head high, a flick of his large sleeve revealing his arrogance.

“Alright, you don’t need to mutter anymore, it’s really annoying!”

“This is a dream within a dream, and I’m also very curious, how did you get here?”

Li Changfeng looked up and sighed.

If I knew how I got here.

Would I still be asking?

“Shut up, you’re so loud!” The Old Gentleman grumbled.

“But I didn’t say anything?” Li Changfeng looked embarrassed.

“I can hear what you’re thinking.” The Old Gentleman sighed, “Don’t think randomly!”

Li Changfeng was stunned.

Who is this person, to have such an ability?

Damn, that’s amazing!

He can know what others are thinking?

“There it is again! Boy, stop it!” The Old Gentleman’s face turned ashen with anger!

“Ai, alright, alright.” Cold sweat dripped from Li Changfeng’s forehead.

After a long while.

The Old Gentleman’s expression gradually softened.

He let out a long breath and looked up at Li Changfeng.

“Senior, what exactly is going on?” Li Changfeng was a little curious.

The Old Gentleman who suddenly appeared.

And where was this place?

“I also don’t know how you appeared in this dream within a dream.”

“But I can confirm one thing: you have the Nie Family’s power. Perhaps this power brought you here!”

“This might also be your tribulation!”

The Old Gentleman’s face was grim as he suddenly spoke these words.

“Tribulation?” Li Changfeng was puzzled, “What do you mean?”

Tribulation?

But what exactly is it?

Could it be the same as Master’s!

“This is the Spirit Dispersion Tribulation that the Nie Family experiences every year! You will lose your lifelong cultivation, and only return to normal the next day.”

“The prerequisite is to have an ice pond or an Ice Cellar to slow down the dissipation of your aura.”

“Otherwise, once you lose all your immortal power, it will be your death. The Old Gentleman recalled, speaking these words.

After a long while.

The Old Gentleman’s face was grim as he slowly looked up.

A flash of lightning emanated from his bright eyes.

“Old Gentleman, how do I overcome this tribulation?” Li Changfeng was a little anxious.

Actually, he had heard about this from Baiyi Luo.

After all, during these three years.

Baiyi Luo had constantly talked about ascending.

“That depends on your fortune!” The Old Gentleman sighed.

“Boy, there’s one more thing I don’t understand. You’re not a Nie Family member, so why do you have the Nie Family’s power?”

“You, boy, don’t even have an immortal meridian, so why can you use immortal power!”

The Old Gentleman stared intently at Li Changfeng, his face full of anticipation.

He was waiting for an answer.

An answer that would satisfy him!

Becoming an immortal?

How could a sixteen-year-old boy reach such a realm?

“I inherited my Master’s legacy.” Li Changfeng replied.

“Your Master? Who is he?” The Old Gentleman’s gaze sharpened, staring intently at Li Changfeng.

“But why should I tell you?” Li Changfeng scoffed.

He didn’t know what this person’s intentions were.

If he was hostile, why would he say more?

He didn’t know where this place was, so it was better to be careful.

“Perhaps, I can help you.” The Old Gentleman stood with his hands behind his back.

“Help me? But I don’t need it.” Li Changfeng snorted, “I just want to get out of here now!”

“I have a way, and I can certainly send you out.” The Old Gentleman’s lips curved into a smile, “But you have to tell me what I want to know.”

This boy had too many secrets.

Perhaps, there really would be a clue to that person.

I’ve been looking for you for so many years.

It’s time to come back, isn’t it?

“I’m not interested. It’s beautiful here, I like it.” Li Changfeng deliberately said this.

“You brat, don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking.” The Old Gentleman chuckled.

“I’m really getting more and more annoyed being here with you, no secrets!” Li Changfeng sighed.

“Alright, I’ll be honest, I really do want to leave.”

“However, I don’t want to leave so unceremoniously.”
