Chapter 381: Path Forward
"It is my utmost pleasure to come to visit," said w.a.n.g Wei with a splendid smile, which made Gu An slightly blushed. Luckily, she quickly controlled herself so as not to embarra.s.s both her sect and herself.
After a few pleasantries, Gu An led w.a.n.g Wei up the mountains of the Eternal Dream Sect. As soon as he took a step up the mountain, he felt something strange as he stopped and looked around.
But he could not find anything even wondering for a moment whether his feeling was wrong. So, he activated his True Vision Ability and a look of surprise flashed across his eyes.
"Is this a Dream World?" he asked.
"Sacred Son, you noticed?" asked Gu An back in surprise.
The entire Eternal Dream Sect was the manifestation of a Dream. To be precise, someone created a dream world and manifest it into reality. So, all the buildings in the mountains were technical not 'real' but just "dream projections."
No, not just the buildings. After focusing deeper, w.a.n.g Wei could see that all the mountains and terrains in the sect were dream projections. Additionally, the power of dreams could be found everywhere in the environment, helping the sect's disciples to cultivate the Dao of Dream quicker, and can even add a bonus to their fighting and recuperating abilities.
With a wave of his thoughts, w.a.n.g Wei gathered the power of dreams in the surroundings and injected it into his hand. Suddenly, it turned into a demonic arm.
The power of dreams is susceptible to the mind; whatever you desire in a dream, you can materialize, just like a person who could warp reality. So, since w.a.n.g Wei wanted his arm to be a demon, it become so.
Then, he became intrigued; he began to control the dream power in the surroundings to create different things. He first started with simple things like rocks, flowers, woods, swords.
Then, he began to build more complex things like houses of different shapes, mountains, rivers, and even people.
Meanwhile, Gu An and the other people of the Eternal Dream Sect had a look of horror on their faces. The Dream Force that existed in the sect was there to help the disciples, but it was not something that they easily control as they saw fit.
To do so require years of study and practice, and that also applied to their Saintess. Yet, some random person who has never studied the Dao of Dream came to their sect and control the Dream Force as if it was his home.
This kind of talent was simply horrible.
"I see, this Dream World is also a formation," muttered w.a.n.g Wei who was somewhat fascinated as he ignored his surroundings.
For a moment, he was fascinated by the power of creation granted by Dreams; he wondered whether he could use the power of fate to accomplish the same thing.
And the answer he came up with was: absolutely.
If one day he can control the Fate of All Things, including matter, it is would be very simple for him to create things out of nowhere. However, that is not the true power of fate.
What if one day, he could control the Fate of All Great Dao? By then, all laws, Dao, or concepts in existence will be nothing but his puppet to manipulate and do as he pleases.
At that time, he would probably become omnipotent and omniscient, existing beyond any existing concepts.
After thinking about his, w.a.n.g Wei suddenly understood his path forward; he had an idea on how to one day control his own fate to become free and unfettered.
Immediately, he felt like a weight had been lifted from his shoulder, his mind and spirit became as bright as an exploding star. All the frustration and worry he had about not being able to enter the Primordial Spirit Realm was washed away.
He knew that his understanding of his path forward increased his success rate of entering the next realm by 10%. And if it was not because of his Parago-Quality Soul, he could have instantly transformed his soul into a Primordial Spirit.
"Congratulations for your epiphany, Sacred Son," said Gu An with a look of envy. With these people's knowledge, they could tell that w.a.n.g Wei had entered a brief state of enlightenment, and based on how his aura become more peaceful, how he easily blended with the surrounding Heaven and Earth, he should have gained quite a bit.
"Thank you."
"Have you thought about cultivating the Dao of Dream? You are very talented in it," said one of the sect's Supreme Elder.
"Chen Xixiang, are you trying to poach our Sacred Son?" said Yan Chen as he stared at the person who spoke.
"I'm just stating a fact. With his talent, it would be a waste not cultivate the Dao of Dream."
"My Young master is talented at everything he does; Dream Dao is just one of the many things he excels at."
Chen Xixiang's almost choked after hearing this. In this world, there are and have been many geniuses that are simply gifted at everything they do. The Sacred Son of the Dao Opening Sect is not the only, nor will he be the last one.
So, Chen Xixiang sighed without bringing the subject up again. As for w.a.n.g Wei, he did not think he was as talented as this True Monarch said. The reason he was able to freely create so many things from the dream force was once, his soul was powerful enough to easily control the dream force.
Second, there is abundant dream force in the surrounding, and they are docile and do not resist control; most likely, the Great Emperor of the sect made them that way to help the disciples.
w.a.n.g Wei did not have to produce the Dream Force just control it. So, the process was simpler.
Lastly, the objects he created just looked like the real thing and lacked the essence. For example, the people he created only had the appearance of humans; they did not have the anatomy, spirit, or soul of real humans.
Only by reaching such a level would it be considered really "controlling" the Dream Force. Plus, w.a.n.g Wei knew of a person that could do even better than him in as much of a short time.
And that person is Dong Lifen that he met during his Qi Luck Trial. With her Dream Manifestation Soul, the Dream s.p.a.ce of this sect would be a paradise for her.
w.a.n.g Wei theorized that if she was in this Dream World, with all the abundant Dream Force, she could probably fight a Saint without having any cultivation. Although her mortal body would probably not last long, she should still be able to fight for a few minutes.
"My Dao is already set, so it is too late to change now. However, I have some inspiration regarding dreams. If possible, I would like to read some of your sect's scriptures, understanding, and theories about dreams."
w.a.n.g Wei was not just saying these words to be polite. After seeing this Dream World, he realized that it could help with one of his plans after becoming Emperor. So, he wanted to lay the foundation now for later.
Chen Xixiang readily agreed with w.a.n.g Wei's request as it was not a big deal. What the latter was asking was not the cultivation techniques of the sect, but the scriptures of the predecessors and the Sages of the past.
These kinds of thingsalthough valuable but not the point of not exchanging. Not to mention that as a close ally of the Dao Opening Sect, the Eternal Dream Sect has also exchanged scriptures and even cultivation techniques with the latter.
So, the group led w.a.n.g Wei to see the sect master; it was a beautiful woman named Tang Zichen. The two had a pleasant conversation but w.a.n.g Wei caught on to the fact that the sect master was always secretly asking about how his father was doing.
Honestly, w.a.n.g Wei had to marvel at his father's charm; it seems that every beautiful woman in his generation had fallen for him or had some meaning to him.
He secretly praised his mother for being the final winner but also disdained the women of that generation. How could they not control their emotions and fall for one man?
Look at him. He was more handsome than his father, suaver than him, and more powerful than him at his age. Yet, you don't see countless women falling in love with him.
All the women in his generation are focused and driven; their only thoughts are on how to achieve their goals of becoming Emperor. In order words, they are full of thoughts on how to defeat or kill him one day.
w.a.n.g Wei wanted to cry that things were unfair.
Anyway, after a conversation with the sect master, he was shown to his resting quarters. The next day, Gu An came to lead him to the Scripture Storage Hall.
