Chapter 118: Better to Take by the Straight Path 1

Dream Dao Attainment, Opening Scheme Against Cultivators

Dream-Making Expert

“Why would I lie to you?”

Lin Qi spoke with confidence, pointing a finger.

In that instant, the dream shifted. Everything before their eyes transformed into the appearance of Kongxiang Temple.

“You can treat Kongxiang Temple as a different kind of dream.”

“This dream has to exist long-term.”

“Which means it must follow certain rules. For example, the Temple Rules of Kongxiang Temple.”

“But the master of the dream is you, not me.”

“So these Temple Rules naturally had to gain your approval.”

“And so, on its own, you added many rules to the Temple Rules that benefit you.”

Lin Qi pointed again.

The Kongxiang Temple before their eyes changed once more.

One inviolable rule after another was laid down.

For example, strength within Kongxiang Temple did not depend on one’s original cultivation realm, but on one’s identity clearance within Kongxiang Temple.

The higher the identity clearance, the greater the authority. Even with no cultivation at all.

As long as one did not violate the Temple Rules by overstepping one’s station, one could be immune to all threats.

And the highest identity clearance naturally belonged to the Abbot, the Presiding Abbot, and the Son of Buddha.

The first was the necessary guarantee for Kongxiang Temple to maintain the operation of its rules.

The latter, no matter who Kongxiang Temple intended to scheme against.

At the very least, gave the one being schemed against a safeguard to ignore Kongxiang Temple’s threats.

“Now, we need to invite others into this dream.”

Lin Qi blew out a breath. In the next instant, many familiar faces appeared.

Jian Wuming watched these people in the dream, just as they had when they first entered, head to Bright Mirror Terrace to obtain official disciple status.

Then everything seemed to replay itself.

He and Lin Qi stood at an infinite height, watching the events of the past few months at Kongxiang Temple play out bit by bit within the dream Lin Qi had constructed.

Until that scene from the daytime appeared.

Lin Qi demanded various treasures, and then they seized the moment to use contribution points to exchange and cut him off.

“Understand now?”

“The operating mechanism of Kongxiang Temple is exactly like this dream I’ve constructed.”

“There may be differences.”

“But as you said, since the Star Academy dared to let Kongxiang Temple exist for so long, they must believe this place is completely controllable.”

“And to ensure that.”

“There are only two indicators.”

“One is that Kongxiang Temple itself is controllable.”

Lin Qi’s gaze was indifferent. “Just as I demonstrated, the rules constraining this dream must favor us.”

“So as long as we do not violate the Temple Rules or its taboos, Kongxiang Temple cannot do anything to us.”

“As for the other, naturally, it is that the source of power maintaining Kongxiang Temple’s existence is controllable.”

“The Star Academy may not have killed the source maintaining Kongxiang Temple’s existence.”

“But they must have severed Kongxiang Temple’s connection to the Buddhist sect.”

“So

Kongxiang Temple is a tree without roots, water without a source.”
