386: Key Figure Tang Ku

“Great Immortal? You’ve come out of seclusion?”

Tang Ku couldn’t help but say with pleasant surprise, “Perfect, just perfect! There is a difficult matter at hand that requires your help!”

Great Immortal Zhenyuan seemed a bit bleary-eyed. He scanned the surroundings and suddenly discovered a familiar figure. He couldn’t help but nervously bow and say, “Immeasurable Daoist... Hahaha, Ksitigarbha has actually come to the human world. It seems Sanzang has done even more than I imagined!”

Ksitigarbha didn’t seem curious at all about Zhen Yuanzi emerging from the mouth of a monster. Instead, he put his hands together in a salute and said, “Fellow Daoist, it has been many years; how have you been?”

“Hehe, good, of course I’m good...” Zhen Yuanzi chuckled, “I was severely injured before, which is why I hid inside this monster’s belly to heal. Now that I have fully recovered, and even gained some new insights, that is why... Uh, why is Sanzang looking at me with that kind of expression?”

Tang Ku said helplessly, “Don’t just keep exchanging pleasantries. I really have an urgent matter here that needs your help!”

Zhen Yuanzi asked seriously, “What exactly has happened?”

Ksitigarbha smiled and said, “Let me explain!”

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva then described what had happened to Red Boy. Great Immortal Zhenyuan listened with bright eyes and said, “So that’s it. I was wondering why he had such thick Qi on him. It turns out it’s because of his past life identity... Hmm, but you don’t need to worry about his current condition at all. Both his soul and Physical Body are perfectly fine... Do you remember the Soul-Replenishing Pill I refined? Give him one, and he will recover in three days!”

“Really?”

Tang Ku took a medicine bottle from his bosom and said with annoyance, “Why didn’t I think of that sooner? Hmm, come, come, pry his mouth open...”

Over there, Zhang Anan walked over, directly pinched Red Boy’s chin, and then let Tang Ku toss the pill into his mouth.

Gulp!

Following a rumble from his stomach, Red Boy suddenly murmured, but he didn’t wake up. Instead, he turned over and started snoring.

“Hmm, that’s it!”

Zhen Yuanzi stroked his beard and smiled, “Hmm, how is the current situation? Why are you all gathered here? And who is this person with the Qi of the Human Emperor on him?”

Tang Ku said in a deep voice, “The situation is becoming increasingly confusing...”

Tang Ku then told Zhen Yuanzi everything that had happened in Chang’an recently and shared his own speculations.

“...I just went into that world to take a look; it doesn’t seem like a dream at all. I thought about it later. The environment there is so real, combined with the reason why everyone can use their powers at will... It is very likely another world created by human hands, using a dream as a blueprint. Although the rules of that world are incomplete, it truly feels like a real world!”

Tang Ku said in a deep voice, “When I came here earlier, I already saw it. The entire city is filled with resentment. If this continues, those ordinary people filled with resentment will turn into living dead, into zombies and the like!”

Zhen Yuanzi frowned slightly: “Although this situation you speak of hasn’t happened before, it’s not impossible... In fact, dreams themselves can already derive true worlds. But to be able to completely turn a dream into reality and pull thousands of people into this world, only a Saint can do that. And what Saints call ‘re-establishing Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind’ is actually using their own concepts as a blueprint and dreams as a template to build a brand new world!”

“You also said that although Darwin has the combat power of a Saint, he is not a Saint. Can he really create such a complete dream world and control it perfectly?”

Tang Ku frowned slightly and asked.

“It’s hard to say. His abilities only revealed the tip of the iceberg when he fought me. It can be said that it was quite inconceivable. If he could do this, I wouldn’t doubt it!”

Zhen Yuanzi said solemnly.

“Even Great Immortal Zhenyuan says so?”

Tang Ku frowned slightly, “Then what should we do now? What exactly is Darwin trying to achieve by making so many people enter the dream? And how should we wake everyone up?”

Everyone was at a loss. Zhen Yuanzi also sighed helplessly: “Although I have some research on souls, this situation is truly baffling...”

“A few old immortals, I just heard you all talking... Hmm, since the resentment in the city is so heavy because of the opponent’s evil arts, is there a possibility that the opponent is actually trying to draw out this resentment and use it for their own purposes?”

Zhang Anan, who was on the side, suddenly asked.

The great hall instantly went quiet. After a long while, Tang Ku finally clapped his hands and said, “That’s it! That is exactly the logic. Manager Zhang has truly awakened the dreamer with a single word... Resentment... Among all this, only this thing seems to be worth plotting for!”

“Resentment can only be used to refine some sinister Magic Treasures; it seems completely unusable for righteous purposes. And that Darwin doesn’t seem like an Artifact Refiner at all!”

Zhen Yuanzi said.

“Hmm, no, no. There must be something here that we haven’t figured out. This resentment must have other uses!”

Tang Ku frowned slightly and said.

While they were discussing, Erlang Shen strode in with a constipated expression on his face, the wrinkles on his forehead almost stacking up like a mountain!

“True Monarch, what’s wrong with you? What kind of enemy did you encounter? Was it Tesla?”

Tang Ku asked anxiously.

“Hmm... It was him!”

The True Monarch frowned slightly and said, “Wearing strange clothes, with glasses on his eyes, he looked... weird!”

“Hmm, that must be him... Did you fight?”

Tang Ku said nervously, “How was the battle?”

“No, we didn’t fight. We...” Yang Jian tilted his head, revealing an incredulous bitter smile, “We... were chatting?”

“Chatting about what?”

Zhen Yuanzi seemed to have discovered something extraordinary and asked anxiously.

“He... He told me the method to break the dream world of Chang’an City!”

Yang Jian said with a strange expression, “If you want to wake everyone up, this is the only way...”

“What way?”

Tang Ku couldn’t help but curl his lips with a strange expression and said.

“He said... He said you must use all your strength to send you into that world!”

Yang Jian glanced at Tang Ku and said seriously.

“What’s the point of sending me into that world? I have no way to wake them up!”

Tang Ku spread his hands helplessly and said.

“I don’t know about the rest. I only know he said that sentence; the rest was just some small talk...” Yang Jian said helplessly.

“Send him into the dream? Are you kidding me!”

Li Chunfeng, who was on the side, suddenly smiled bitterly, “His soul cannot enter other people’s dreams at all. We just tested it, didn’t we?”
