Chapter 1541: Creating a Dream
"There are quite a few people here who can be considered your seniors. You can freely seek their advice and spar with them, including me, of course!" The purple-robed man said as he strolled with Lin Feng through the immortal forest.
"Alright." Lin Feng nodded slightly. It seemed that the Illusion Lord had arranged for the purple-robed man to guide him and clothe him in purple robes with the intention of nurturing him. The Qi Tian Fortress had captured these people, but their true purpose was to strengthen them, thereby making the Qi Tian Fortress itself more powerful. Therefore, aside from controlling them, the Qi Tian Fortress would not be stingy in training them. This struck Lin Feng as rather interesting.
"Most of the people here are probably seniors from the Eight Wastelands. It's a pity that they are now firmly controlled by the Qi Tian Fortress, becoming a terrifying force in their hands." Lin Feng sighed inwardly. The Qi Tian Fortress and the Sikong Heavenly Fortress had controlled the Small World for ten thousand years. Ten thousand years, with the Small World opening once every hundred years, meant a hundred batches of powerful individuals had emerged from it. However, according to his master, there seemed to be a rule agreement between the Emperor-Slaying Alliance and the Watcher Alliance. Some exceptionally talented individuals had a chance to escape, just as the Skyless Sword Emperor had once told him, believing he could break through the shackles.
But even excluding those who had escaped, the number of monstrous prodigies from the Small World captured and trained by the Emperor-Slaying Alliance over these ten thousand years was still astonishing. They were a terrifying force of the Qi Tian Fortress. No wonder the Nine Great Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortresses placed such importance on vying for control of the Small World.
"From now on, this area of the immortal forest will be your training ground. Cultivate here for a while, and you can go find them to spar and seek guidance at any time. They know the rules and won't kill you. But of course, you'd better keep your eyes open. Many of them don't like being disturbed, so while they won't kill you, they might still give you a good beating!" The purple-robed man said with a smile. Then, he quickened his pace and vanished like a phantom.
This immortal forest was vast. In the distance, there were mountain ranges and waterfalls, the training area the Illusion Lord had designated for them, the Purple Robe Army.
Lin Feng swept his gaze over the seated crowd, then flickered forward, deeper into the immortal forest. After a moment, Lin Feng stood atop a cascading waterfall, looking down at the surging river. In the river stood a man, punching continuously into the turbulent flow. Under his fist intent, the rushing river seemed to transform into a Styx, freezing heaven and earth.
"So cold. The space here is filled with an icy aura, suitable for those cultivating the Law of Ice." Lin Feng thought to himself. He stepped forward and silently disappeared. In an instant, Lin Feng arrived at another sacred immortal ground, where immortal qi filled the void, and people were even cultivating immortal techniques and divine abilities.
"The Illusion Lord is probably a formidable Mid-rank Emperor, a top-tier force of the Qi Tian Fortress. He controls all the martial cultivators of the Eight Wastelands and Nine Abyss, and his Small World contains training grounds suitable for all kinds of martial cultivators." Lin Feng flickered again. After a while, he walked into a dreamlike place, giving one a surreal, illusory feeling.
Lin Feng sat down cross-legged and began to enter a cultivation state. In his mind, he released his Martial Soul. On the demonic soil of his Heavenly Book Martial Soul, Lin Feng appeared. In his hand was a copper piece, the very one he had traded for five Essence Fragments in the buffer zone.
Lin Feng tossed the copper piece onto the demonic soil. Suddenly, light flashed, and the copper piece emitted a brilliant radiance, coalescing into a vast structure.
Startled, Lin Feng stared at the copper piece. This Martial Soul demonic soil had indeed caused the copper piece to reveal its original form. Finally, the light converged into a vast, majestic Immortal Palace. The light was blinding. The palace had no sense of majesty, yet it felt grand and imposing, as if it were the pinnacle of heaven and earth.
"Wuji!" Lin Feng's expression tightened. Could it really be as that crazy old man had said, that this copper piece came from the Wuji Cave Dwelling? But this was no cave dwelling; it was clearly a Wuji Heavenly Palace.
"Just a phantom of a heavenly palace, no other clues. Completely useless!" Lin Feng shook his head slightly. He gripped the copper piece, and the light vanished. He put it out of his mind.
Lin Feng then produced an ancient scripture book. He directly invaded it with his divine sense and began to peer into its contents.
After a long time, back in the outside world, Lin Feng opened his eyes. A hint of brilliance flickered in his gaze.
"Great Dream Ancient Scripture. Dreams are born from the spirit, the spirit roams in dreams. Great dreams are also real; one dream can last a thousand years!" Lin Feng murmured. A Destiny appeared in his hand—a Dream Destiny. He naturally wouldn't use it to break through to the Martial Emperor Realm. He simply held it in his hand, allowing him to clearly feel the power of dreams, enabling him to connect with this mysterious force more quickly and cultivate the Great Dream Ancient Scripture.
Like the Three Lives Scripture, the Great Dream Ancient Scripture was an unorthodox ancient scripture. The so-called "thousand-year dream in the blink of an eye" might truly be achievable by cultivating this scripture. One dream could span a thousand years, while the rise and fall of the outside world were all empty, leaving only the dream.
Lin Feng primarily cultivated demonic techniques, advancing through them, comprehending the sword to increase his combat power, and simultaneously cultivating various Essence powers. Now, he was also cultivating the Great Dream Ancient Scripture. Only someone like him, who had never encountered cultivation obstacles, would dare to cultivate so haphazardly. Other martial cultivators had very clear goals. Those from major powers, in particular, directly cultivated the most powerful techniques of their families without switching techniques midway. As for cultivating multiple techniques simultaneously, that was not something ordinary people dared to attempt. Of course, some powerful auxiliary techniques could still be cultivated.
Lin Feng's reason for cultivating the Great Dream Ancient Scripture was to lay the groundwork for the Three Lives Scripture. Moreover, when cultivated to its peak, the Great Dream Ancient Scripture itself was extremely powerful. The Great Dream Law could directly plunge others into deep slumber. If the law was strong enough, it could make others dream for a thousand years, and after a thousand years, the world would have changed beyond recognition!
Gradually, Lin Feng sank completely into cultivation. Although cultivating an ancient scripture was not an overnight task, Lin Feng's strength had already reached a certain level, so he crossed the foundational stage in one leap. Half a day later, he could already enter dreams on his own and cultivate within them.
The greatest benefit of cultivating in dreams was casting aside the restless heart. Roaming in dreams, everything was illusory, yet the cultivation was real, capable of enhancing one's strength.
Three days later, Lin Feng left his training spot and arrived at the turbulent river beneath the waterfall. The man there seemed to notice Lin Feng. He looked up, and the river flowed backward, surging into the sky, forming a massive heavenly river hand that grabbed at Lin Feng.
"This is the power of law. So magnificent!" Lin Feng thought to himself. Gathering momentum, he stepped through the void. Demonic qi billowed from his entire body, reaching an extreme intensity. He punched straight at the heavenly river hand.
A cracking sound echoed. The heavenly river handprint shattered and collapsed, then dissipated. Lin Feng stood in the void, demonic qi rolling around him. Although the power of law was strong, the other party had only casually mobilized the law to attack the void with a single thought, so the power was naturally weakened. Thus, Lin Feng could still break it.
"You cultivate demonic techniques. I can't give you any guidance on cultivation. Go find someone else." The strong man in the river said to Lin Feng. Lin Feng stepped through the void, landing on the river, and said to the man, "Senior, I'd like to ask for your help. Please suppress me with seven hundred times the power of Heaven and Earth Momentum, then with eight hundred, nine hundred, and a thousand times the momentum, respectively, so I can experience it firsthand."
"Are you sure?" the other asked.
"Yes. Please enlighten me, Senior." Lin Feng sat down cross-legged, right there on the river. The Heavenly River Martial Emperor moved his mind, and the great river surged. Along with the momentum, it roared and crashed onto Lin Feng. The monstrous waves and rolling torrents pushed Lin Feng back. He felt intense pain all over his body, yet the oppressive feeling of Heaven and Earth Momentum was so clear. At this moment, his mind was free of distractions, and his brow showed no sign of disturbance.
"Interesting!" The Heavenly River Martial Emperor smiled. The monstrous waves grew stronger. Seven hundred times the momentum, like a water demon dragon, roared out and slammed violently into Lin Feng.
Lin Feng grunted, but he sat steadily, as if oblivious to the pain, choosing to ignore it.
The waves surged higher. Eight hundred and nine hundred times the momentum descended in succession, sweeping through heaven and earth, pressing down on Lin Feng until he felt suffocated. However, Lin Feng had already experienced this powerful momentum at the Heavenly Wall Mountain Villa. He let the wild waves rage and roar, remaining as unmoving as a mountain.
When the senior's thousandfold momentum descended, that feeling of being out of control once again fell upon Lin Feng. A qualitative change occurred. When this force pressed down on him, it felt as if his blood, veins, and bones were being controlled by another, ready to be crushed alive. His entire being seemed to be clamped in another's palm, at their mercy.
"Do you need to continue experiencing it?" The Heavenly River Martial Emperor knew Lin Feng was using his oppressive force to comprehend the power of momentum. But he also understood that such a short time was not enough to grasp anything significant. The reason the Heavenly Wall Mountain Villa could enhance one's understanding of momentum was the existence of the eight Heavenly Walls, containing momentum of various levels, allowing one to feel it constantly. Asking a Martial Emperor to help you like this, continuously sacrificing their own time to assist you in comprehending momentum, was simply impossible.
"No need. Thank you, Senior!" Lin Feng opened his eyes. A strange light shone in his gaze. Then, he flickered and stepped through the void, leaving.
Lin Feng returned to his recent training spot. A wisp of dream power emanated from him. Lin Feng stretched out his body and lay down on the ground. His breathing was even, peaceful and quiet, as he sank into slumber.
But at this moment, Lin Feng was in a dream. In his dream, the Heavenly River Martial Emperor was pressing him with various levels of momentum, bombarding him. The dream cycled endlessly, without pause. In his sleep, Lin Feng felt the oppressive force of momentum, as if he had returned to the Heavenly Wall Mountain Villa. But it was even more vivid and profound than at the villa. There, it was just the eight Heavenly Walls. Here, it was a true Martial Emperor mobilizing momentum to suppress him.
If the Heavenly River Martial Emperor knew what Lin Feng was doing in his dream, he would be greatly shocked. When Lin Feng had come to seek his guidance earlier, allowing himself to be suppressed without moving, he was actually… creating a dream!
