461: Chapter 460 I Have Something to Give You

The phone time displayed: 8:32 AM.

Based on previous experience, every time he died in a dream and consumed spirituality value to enter the next dream layer, both he and [Future Tang Zheng] would retain their memories, but the chat Records from the previous dream layer would be refreshed.

It was now the second dream layer, but the chat Records with [Future Tang Zheng] were not limited to the previous day; instead, all the chat Records from the first dream layer just before his death had been preserved, completely intact.

"Is this the reason..." Chu Xuan flipped through the recent chat Records, and one segment of text caught his eye again.

[...Perhaps it is because we have communicated many times, deepening our connection. I have become able to clearly sense your existence, as well as your general surroundings...]

Chu Xuan murmured in a low voice: "So, the reason you could see me flipping through the chat Records in the dream just now was because of this?"

Chu Xuan did not type a reply, but a few seconds later, [Future Tang Zheng] sent a message.

[Tang Zheng: Yes.]

Chu Xuan continued to ask: "Was it not possible before?"

[Tang Zheng: Of course not. Otherwise, when I first contacted you, why would I have repeatedly confirmed whether you had killed Chen Qing?]

In the next second, two more messages arrived in succession.

[Tang Zheng: Are you testing me? It seems you still have doubts and don't fully trust me... Is it because of that voice you hear every time you enter a dream?]

[Tang Zheng: 'Never trust anyone.' This is just a warning given to you when you awakened your Talent. Because of the arrival of Specters, everyone you meet could be a Specter: Parasite, so it makes you maintain a heart of vigilance at all times.]

Before Chu Xuan could speak again, the other party's next message followed immediately.

[Tang Zheng: The relationship between Lin Jie and Yang Yu likely involves a taboo secret that changes the future's grand trend. You only suffered one extra bolt of Lightning Tribulation, but my side is already covered in a lightning prison. Additionally, while searching for Revelation clues recently, my luck suddenly became extremely poor. I might not survive this time...]

Extremely poor luck?

Chu Xuan couldn't help but frown, instantly thinking of the Transcendent that [Future Tang Zheng] had mentioned in the previous dream who could influence others' luck.

Shen City, Duan Lingxi!

Originally, he had planned to resolve this matter after leaving the Tianxing Mountains. However, he encountered the Dragon Turtle, and upon leaving, he ran into spatial turbulence, which brought him directly to this Southwest Region.

[Tang Zheng: I didn't want to tell you this, but your suspicion of me forced my hand.

Fortunately, you have a spirit pet capable of absorbing lightning. Although this will double the number of Lightning Tribulations, overall, it can greatly reduce your injuries... Looking at it this way, your luck is far better than mine.]

Chu Xuan glanced not far away at the Giant Egg, which was grunting as it sucked up high-grade life essence.

[Tang Zheng: Interesting, Revelation has actually shown up at this time. It seems my deduction was correct; he is the one behind the scenes, hiding past history and laying out the entire plot... This time, I'm likely doomed!]

[Tang Zheng: Chu Xuan, find a way to deal with Duan Lingxi. Either kill her or take her for your own use. Only then will I have a chance to face this Lightning Tribulation at full strength, and perhaps even have a chance to find Revelation!]

[Tang Zheng: Of course, all of this depends on whether you are still willing to believe me...]

At this point, [Future Tang Zheng]'s messages stopped. Nearly ten minutes passed without any further messages being sent.

"Is he dead..."

Chu Xuan's eyes flickered slightly, and after a long while, he suddenly let out a chuckle:

"Whether I believe or not doesn't seem to matter..."

"To further increase my strength later on, my only path is to rank up."

"Since Duan Lingxi can influence others' luck and possesses such an ability, to prevent her from being used by enemies, now that I know of her, how could I possibly leave her be?"

"But before that..."

Chu Xuan narrowed his eyes, a silver light flashed in his hand as he took out a random teleportation scroll. He looked up and said, "Thunder Roc, we're leaving."

"Wa-wa! A word of advice, please call me Sky-Shattering Thunder Roc!" The Giant Egg wobbled twice on the greed tank. "I'm not in good shape right now and don't want to go anywhere. I want to drink more. Besides, look at yourself—you've turned into a piece of charcoal. Shouldn't you heal your injuries first?"

"Alright, Thunder Roc, let's go." Chu Xuan grabbed the Giant Egg and, amidst its reluctant shouting, put it directly into the biological space.

Then he picked up the greed tank and took several large gulps. He waited until his health points stopped decreasing, maintaining them at 1300 points and slowly increasing, before putting it into his Exclusive Space.

In the next instant, the silver light flared intensely.

In a daze, Chu Xuan heard the sound of waves crashing against the shore, the roaring of battle cries, and a sky-piercing, pungent smell of blood.

When his consciousness returned, Chu Xuan found himself standing on the summit of an island.

Looking into the distance, clouds were rolling, and countless ships were docking. Figures filled the sky and the ground, and there were countless severed limbs. The surrounding seawater had been dyed a deep red.

Among the undulating peaks, magnificent buildings were situated everywhere, but this particular summit was covered in Red Buddha Flowers, with only a small wooden hut.

Chu Xuan's gaze fixed on a spot not far beside him.

She was also standing on the summit, her large blood-red robe fluttering wildly. Its color was like congealed blood, as vivid as a burning sky. A golden crown with pearl tassels hung from her head, unable to hide the cinnabar mark between her brows or the coldness and indifference in her eyes.

As their eyes met, her eyes rippled like water, then suddenly widened. Her voice trembled: "Bene... Benefactor?"

Chu Xuan smiled brightly: "Xiao Luowei, long time no see."

"Benefactor, you're injured?" Seeing Chu Xuan's charred body and mangled flesh, Xiao Luowei's expression was visibly moved.

She quickly raised her hand, and a golden light flashed in her palm. A dragon-headed turtle appeared instantly, and as it landed on the ground, it became half a person tall.

"The Dragon Turtle, quickly heal the Benefactor!" Xiao Luowei said urgently.

The Dragon Turtle's head rubbed affectionately against Chu Xuan's thigh. Specks of golden light emanated from its body, and as they enveloped Chu Xuan, his health points continuously recovered.

"I'm fine." Chu Xuan smiled calmly. Although healing or not didn't make much difference—under the effect of [Unyielding], over a thousand health points were enough to maintain his combat strength without being affected by injuries, and his health points would return to normal after waking from the dream.

However, under this golden light, warm currents surged through his body, and he did feel much more comfortable.

Xiao Luowei wore a smile: "Benefactor, I have waited for you for a long time. I have something to give you..."

Before she could finish, a grand voice suddenly rang out from the horizon, rumbling like rolling thunder and echoing throughout the world.

"Xiao Luowei, do you truly intend to fall into the Demonic Path and fight to the death with my Three Sects and Four Clans?"

"Hurry up and hand over the Jade Slip of the transmitted teachings! My Tayun Sect can guarantee your safety and spare your life!"

Over a hundred figures burst through the clouds and descended from the sky. In particular, a middle-aged man with a long sword on his back glared ferociously, his eyes fixed on her with rage.

"Since the world calls me a demon? I shall do as you wish. What harm is there in becoming a demon?" Xiao Luowei suddenly turned her head and laughed toward the sky:

"You people think you can kill me? You're not worthy!"

"I have been waiting for you for a long time..."

"Bloody Rain and Windy Storm!" She pointed her finger, and the clear sky suddenly turned into a blood-colored curtain. Violent winds suddenly swirled, and blood rain began to fall.

In an instant, countless screams rose from all sides.

"How is this possible? You've actually reached... the Heaven Realm Major Achievement?!" The middle-aged man's face was filled with shock. He performed a hand seal and pointed, and the long sword behind him unsheathed, streaking through the sky.

However, the long sword developed mottled rust halfway through and fell clattering from the sky.

"Xiao Luowei, unless you hide forever in this forbidden land of the Tianxing Sea Area, the entire Cangyun World will no longer have a place for you!" Under the blood rain, the middle-aged man's flesh rotted, and his bones and meat began to dissolve as he let out a shrill scream.

"Your Three Sects and Four Clans possess the world, yet you ignore the blood sacrifices of evil demons and only care about enslaving the people. You are more hateful than the demons! One day, I will personally visit your doors. Especially the Tayun Sect—I will surely exterminate your entire sect!"

Xiao Luowei pointed a finger and shouted coldly: "Die!"

The wind howled and the blood rain poured. Along with the middle-aged man, the hundred or so people who had come from the sky completely dissolved, turning back into blood rain.
