Dream Dao Attainment: Opening Scheme Against Cultivators

Dream-Making Expert

Lin Qi let out a long turbid breath and closed the book before him.

He rubbed his brow, then stepped out of his cave residence.

The gentle, bright light of the Dungeon remained the same, but in the end it was not sunlight, and it could not fully illuminate the sudden gloom that had risen in Lin Qi's heart.

His cultivation was profound, his mind as one, and distracting thoughts should have found it hard to encroach.

But today distracting thoughts had swarmed him, disturbed by old friends and old matters.

Such a sudden whim.

It made Lin Qi realize more and more that having been thrown into the Heaven Demon Macrocosm of ten thousand years later.

There was inevitably a blade waiting for him ahead.

Perhaps it was the tribulation that coiled around him after his cultivation realm followed the Peerless Young Master's breakthrough into Tribulation Transcendence.

Though the Tribulation Transcendence realm of the Heavenly Immortal Macrocosm had no such thing as a human tribulation or a Heart Demon tribulation.

The tribulation transcended by the Tribulation Transcendence realm was nothing more than the tribulation of Creation brought about by the purest transformations and generations of matter.

It was known to all.

Matter could transform and generate one another.

For example, when a star underwent fusion.

In the Creation of a star's mighty power, cosmic matter could go from hydrogen to iron, following the periodic table all the way down.

Generating the various matters that composed the entire Cosmos.

And the tribulation of Creation of the Heavenly Immortal Macrocosm's Tribulation Transcendence realm originated from this.

A cultivator of the Heavenly Immortal Macrocosm's Tribulation Transcendence realm needed to use the mighty power of his own cultivation to create out of nothing, generating the various matters of the Cosmos within his own body.

This was an extremely dangerous cultivation process.

After all, it was known to all that an ordinary star's mighty power could at most only fuse to generate the element iron.

The creation and generation of gold required the mighty power of a supernova explosion.

And going further along the periodic table.

Those rarer and rarer fundamental matters that composed the universe, the more difficult their birth and creation became.

Without the assistance of the Heavenly Dao, without the blessing of the laws from the Cosmos itself.

To rely purely on one's own mighty power to create all the matters that composed a great Cosmos.

Was equivalent to opening heaven and earth within one's own body, creating a universe.

Just thinking about such a cultivation process was enough to know how difficult it was.

But it was a process that cultivators of the Heavenly Immortal Macrocosm's Tribulation Transcendence realm had to undergo.

Because if one could not comprehend and control the mysteries of all the matters that composed the Cosmos.

Then when one reached Mahayana, how could one precisely Return to Heaven and Earth, owing nothing to the Heavenly Immortal Macrocosm.

Returning to the Cosmos everything that the Cosmos had bestowed upon life.

So though the Heavenly Immortal Macrocosm's Tribulation Transcendence realm had no conventional human tribulation, earth tribulation, heaven tribulation, or Heart Demon tribulation.

The tribulation of Creation was even more difficult.

It could even be said to be the most difficult link in the entire cultivation system of the Heavenly Immortal Macrocosm.

Fortunately, this most difficult cultivation process was being shouldered by the Peerless Young Master.

Lin Qi still had a fair amount of confidence in the Peerless Young Master.

Only.

While the Peerless Young Master was transcending the incomparably difficult tribulation of Creation in his place.

Did he, in his identity as the Heaven-Abandoning Emperor, also have to transcend a tribulation?

One that should have been his to begin with.

But what if someone was deliberately arranging it?

Lin Qi did not wish for it to be the latter, but he knew it should be the latter.

After all, he had dared to scheme against the Buddhist order and provoke a battle among the Supremes.

Then how would the Supremes not dare to grant him a tribulation?

It would both serve as a slight punishment and better hinder his cultivation.

"But."

"Do whatever you want."

"Whatever tribulation there is, just aim it at This Venerable."

"Do not involve the innocent."

Lin Qi's eyes turned slightly cold, and he could not help but walk out of the Dungeon.

Standing beneath the Blood Moon's dying sun, he gazed at the sky and murmured.

Heaven and earth were silent, only the broken Blood Moon's dying sun seeming to mock him.

In the next instant.

Lan Shuilian carefully came to Lin Qi's side and spoke. "Fellow Daoist Meng, you have been quiet for a long time and now wish to move. Is there something you wish to do?"

"No."

"I just suddenly feel somewhat uneasy."

"This Venerable has come out for a walk to ease his mind."

Lin Qi withdrew his gaze from the sky and was about to send Lan Shuilian away.

Suddenly.

Three figures in the sky plummeted toward the earth like meteors, coughing blood heavily, their faces filled with shock.

They were precisely the three Wu Priests Lin Qi had seen before.

"Enemy attack!"

"Fellow Daoist Meng, lend me a hand!"

Lan Shuilian cried out in alarm and immediately soared up with a howl.

Arriving at the side of her three companions, she examined their injuries even as she anxiously called out to Lin Qi.

Hoping Lin Qi would act to help them resist the enemy that was howling toward them like lightning.

Lin Qi's eyes turned slightly cold.

His mood today had already been poor, yet there were still demons who dared to run into him.

Truly reckless beyond belief.

Without needing Lan Shuilian to beg for help again.

Lin Qi stamped his foot and shot into the air, blocking the path of the lightning that came howling.

The lightning transformed into a figure wreathed in flickering thunder light, with twin horns on its head, a dragon's head on a human body, its aura shocking the heavens.

Seeing Lin Qi blocking its path.

This dragon-headed, human-bodied demon let out a cold laugh.

"Another reckless ant."

"Kneel…"

Before the demon could finish speaking, Lin Qi had already raised his hand and clenched his fist, first a simple yet unstoppable heaven-soaring punch.

Then he spun and followed with a whip kick.

In the next instant.

It was as if ten thousand Lin Qis appeared in the heavens and on the earth.

This was an overlap of afterimages at the extreme of speed, each in its own posture, simple and brutal.

It was just a beating of fist meeting flesh.

In the span of a finger snap, ten thousand punches.

By the time all the Lin Qi afterimages in the heavens and on the earth had overlapped and become one again.

Only then did Lin Qi, expressionless, look down from on high at the demon he had beaten back into its original form, like a Rascal Snake.

He clenched his fist again, about to send it to its death.

"Stop."

"You cannot kill me."

"Two armies at war do not slay envoys."

"I did not kill those three Wu Priests earlier either, I merely gave them a lesson."

The demon that had been beaten into a Rascal Snake screamed, its eyes filled with terror.

Seeing that Lin Qi had no intention of stopping.

It suddenly remembered something and hurriedly spat out a Golden Edict.

The Golden Edict blazed brightly, unstained by blood, as if it represented the Heaven's Mandate and heavenly will of the Heaven Demon Macrocosm itself.

Truly, ten thousand laws could not invade it, and all evils retreated before it.

Even Lin Qi could not help but instinctively retreat three steps, watching the Golden Edict warily.

Seeing the Golden Edict force Lin Qi back.

The Rascal Snake that had been beaten back into its original form finally breathed a sigh of relief, its gaze fierce. It hesitated, but in the end had been frightened too badly by Lin Qi, and did not dare utter threats again.

It merely, with a mouth full of shattered fangs, bared its teeth and opened the Golden Edict, speaking weakly in a voice that leaked air.

"Golden Edict of the Demon Court, Prince Consort's Command."

"My younger brother is about to fall, heaven and earth mourn together. From this day forth, within forty-nine days, the Wu-Demon Truce is in effect. No weapons may be moved. All living beings shall pray for blessings and light the Seven-Star Lamp to prolong my younger brother's life."

"Those who violate the order shall be slain by heaven and earth together!"

Having spoken.

The Rascal Snake looked at Lin Qi and said viciously.

"This is the Demon Court's newest decree, a law Golden Edict stamped by the Prince Consort using the Imperial Banner."

"It is a command of the Heavenly Dao. If you Wu Priests dare to disobey, it is a dead end!"

"Hmph! Do not think you can frighten us!"

Lan Shuilian was furious.

"The Heavenly Dao vanished along with your Demon Emperor long ago. Where is this command of the Heavenly Dao?"

"Moreover, we Wu Priests do not revere your Demon Race's Heavenly Dao."

"Not to mention this is not a command of the Heavenly Dao at all. Even if it were, we Wu Priests would still defy heaven and act…"

"Shut up!"

Lin Qi shouted, cutting off Lan Shuilian before she could continue.

He seized the Rascal Snake demon before him that had been ordered to deliver the decree, his eyes slightly red.

"Answer This Venerable."

"Is your Prince Consort surnamed Fang?"

"Is the Prince Consort's younger brother surnamed Wang?"
