Chapter 187: The Tenderness of the Forbidden Zone of Dreams, Guided by the Empress's Lingering Image

In the Northern Territory, deep within the ruins of the Fox Ancestor.

A pale purple mist permeated the air.

This mist was not a physical substance, but rather "Dreamland Dust" condensed from extremely dense, fragmented Divine Sense.

Any Martial Artist below the Great Grandmaster Realm who stepped here would have their Divine Sense instantly pierced by this dust, falling into eternal Chaos.

But for Jiang Chen, it felt like returning home.

"Yawn—"

Jiang Chen rubbed the corners of his eyes; his eyelids felt as heavy as if two Mount Tais were hanging from them.

His War God Realm Second Stage cultivation circulated unconsciously, and his pure Yang Dragon Qi erupted, keeping the surrounding dust—which could drive a Great Grandmaster insane—three feet away.

"Brother Jiang Chen, are you sleepy again?"

Iliya's delicate voice rang in his ears.

She had already activated her semi-beast form, and her nine golden fox tails swayed slightly in the Void Realm like a giant, blooming water lily.

"The aura in these ruins... is resonating with my Bloodline. But they all seem to be afraid of you."

Jiang Chen did not speak; he simply let himself fall.

Thump.

He did not fall onto the cold stone floor, but into an embrace that was warm, smooth, and possessed astonishing elasticity.

Iliya let out a soft cry, her beautiful face instantly turning beet red.

She instinctively pulled her fox tails together, wrapping Jiang Chen tightly in her arms.

Those nine evolved "constant-temperature downy tails" automatically adjusted to a most comfortable 37.5 degrees.

"Mmm... this sensation is just right."

Jiang Chen muttered, casually pulling down the [Chaos Sleep Eye Mask].

The moment the eye mask covered his face, the purple cartoon cat on it seemed to blink.

【Ding! Detected that the host has entered the "Dream Forbidden Zone", Divine Sense overclocking loading...】

【Deep Sleep Mode activated! Current Divine Sense defense: ∞ (Karma-level shielding)】

【Auto-AFK Cultivate triggered: Pure Yang Dragon Qi conversion speed increased by 500%!】

Mu Qingxue and Su Qingyue, standing to the side, exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

In their perception, the moment Jiang Chen fell, the flow of time in the entire ruin seemed to slow down.

"Even when he sleeps... he can cause the Law of heaven and earth to tremble."

Mu Qingxue bit her red lip lightly; under the nourishment of Jiang Chen's Dragon Qi, her iceberg-like aura actually flushed with a tender pink glow.

Su Qingyue was more direct; she squatted down carelessly, her slender fingers tracing Jiang Chen's chest, her beautiful eyes filled with fanaticism: "Lord Jiang Chen at a time like this... really makes one want to... take a fierce bite."

Meanwhile, Jiang Chen's Divine Sense had long since pierced through the barriers of reality.

Inside the dream.

This was an endless sea of stars.

Beneath Jiang Chen lay the familiar [myriad heavens formless bed], but at this moment, the bed was trembling violently, emitting a hum that yearned for evolution.

The Void Realm twisted, and a peerless residual shadow slowly emerged.

The woman was draped in a robe of nine dragons circling a Phoenix, her eyes like the flickering of stars; even as just a wisp of a residual shadow, that Emperors Might capable of crushing eternity was enough to make the ten thousand worlds submit.

The Great Qian Empress!

No, it was that "Abyssal Empress" from a more ancient era who had once made a name for herself in the myriad heavens.

"You... have finally arrived."

The Abyssal Empress's residual shadow watched Jiang Chen, who was lying on the bed and even rolled over, her eye twitching slightly.

In these myriad heavens, Jiang Chen was the first and last person to dare to lie down and sleep in front of her.

"Make it short, I'm about to fall asleep."

Jiang Chen said, his eyes closed, his voice lazy.

The Abyssal Empress's residual shadow was silent for a moment, seemingly calming herself, then spoke faintly:

"This bed is named 'Formless', meaning it encompasses everything. Your current progress has only unleashed one-thousandth of its power."

"To unlock the next stage—[Samsara Realm of the Myriad Heavens], you need to find the 'Heart Source of the Fox Ancestor' at the core of these ruins, and use it as a wick to ignite the Void Realm array of the myriad heavens formless bed."

"When that time comes, not only will you be able to attain the Dao in your sleep, but you will also be able to... restart the myriad heavens in your sleep."

The Empress's figure began to fade. Before leaving, she seemed to look deeply at Jiang Chen, her tone becoming extremely complex: "If I had met you sooner, perhaps I would not have had to choose that lonely path back then."

【Ding! Because the host received guidance from the Empress in the dream, the myriad heavens formless bed evolution task has been activated!】

【Task requirement: Plunder the core of the Fox Ancestor ruins (0/1).】

【Hidden reward preview: Dual Cultivation chamber technique—complete version of the "Great Dream Spring and Autumn Scripture".】

In reality.

The corners of Jiang Chen's mouth curled up slightly, as if he had dreamt of something extremely wonderful.

And with every breath he took, he caused the entire ruin to vibrate.

The frequency was exactly like a Dragon patrolling its territory.
