Dream Dao Attainment, Opening Scheme Against Cultivators
Dream-Making Expert
Wang Ling hesitated.
Then he decided that a dead horse might as well be flogged as medicine — he would give it a try.
There was nothing to be done about it.
As merely a Golden Core cultivator, comprehending a Dao Path of his own — and one that specifically had to be related to the Dao of Time and Space, no less — was truly too much to ask of him.
It could be said that he had not the faintest clue where to begin.
He could only take a slanted approach and try every method he could think of.
Although this was the Demon Race's Heaven Demon Macrocosm, and the Buddhist order's method of first making a Great Vow and then repaying it should have been of no use...
But what if it did work?
Wang Ling thought to himself, then laboriously rose from his wheelchair, faced north, and began to make his vow.
At the outset, his voice was very soft.
After all, he had no beloved maiden, so he felt a little ashamed.
But soon.
Wang Ling's voice grew loud and resonant.
Because he realized that while he had no beloved maiden, he still had his Master, Lin Qi, his Senior Brother, Fang Yun, and Thunder Bird Bubu.
He had far, far too many people he cared about.
He had once been mediocre and weak, and throughout this Master-and-disciple bond with Lin Qi, he had always seemed somewhat out of place.
He could neither fight shoulder to shoulder with Lin Qi early on like Senior Sister Yuyao and Senior Brother Wan Teng, standing together against those unfathomable Supreme Beings...
Nor did he possess the reasonably formidable power and reasonably long lifespan of Fang Yun, Thunder Bird Bubu, and the others, which would have allowed him to follow in Lin Qi's footsteps.
He was too mediocre, too weak.
Even during those years he had spent at Lin Qi's side.
He had mostly played the role of a steward, managing the miscellaneous affairs of the sect.
But he too had once dreamed of being a swordsman whose single blade could chill nineteen provinces!
He too wanted to reach Sage Manifestation in the Human Realm, and to make all living beings across All Heavens know his name.
No one is born willing to be mediocre.
He too had once harbored ideals that would make the world turn its eyes toward him.
He too had once sworn a vow that he would definitely make Lin Qi and the others proud of him.
A person like him had also wanted to live a dazzling life!
Therefore.
“I vow to transform into the Bridge of Time and Space.”
“When I attain the Dao, all living beings across the Myriad Realms shall be able to cross over my bridge!”
“When I attain the Dao, regardless of how time and space shift, how Eras change, all history across the Myriad Realms shall be able to be inscribed upon my bridge!”
“When I attain the Dao…”
Wang Ling's loud and resolute voice of oath pierced the stillness of the snowy night.
It startled Lin Qi and the others awake.
Lin Qi strode out quickly and saw Wang Ling, his face sacred and resolute, making his Great Vow.
Involuntarily, he raised his head to look at the Blood Moon and the dying sun in the night sky.
In his hands, the Empress Wa Banner and the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk stirred restlessly.
