Chapter 128: Slaying Others, Slaying Myself

Dream Dao Attainment: Opening Scheme Against Cultivators

Dream-Making Expert

You’re afraid?!

Jian Wuming was dumbfounded. He stared at Lin Qi in disbelief, then laughed in anger.

“What the fuck!”

“Isn’t this the thing you made?”

“And you’re afraid?!”

Lin Qi nodded, his expression pale.

“I took too big a step. This thing really was made by me, and it is what I wanted, but it isn’t what I truly wanted.”

“What I originally wanted was to erase the wisp of lingering thought Bodhidharma had invaded my body with.”

“Ideally, I could turn misfortune into fortune and refine that wisp of Bodhidharma’s lingering thought into a strand of Innate Spirit-Light.”

“But something went wrong.”

“Right now, what I’ve refined isn’t one strand of Innate Spirit-Light, but three.”

“And that’s a huge fucking problem.”

Lin Qi spoke rapidly, realizing a massive deviation had occurred.

He split off the greater part of his mind to coordinate with Yuyao’s incarnation of heaven’s will, reflected within the Dream Bubble Shadow, and controlled the dream reincarnation.

The lower limit was to completely erase Bodhidharma’s lingering thought.

The upper limit was naturally to turn misfortune into fortune, brewing a strand of pure Innate Spirit-Light from Bodhidharma’s lingering thought.

This strand of Innate Spirit-Light could be piety, or compassion, or evil.

In short, the best case he had imagined was merely relying on the dream reincarnation to reverse into the innate.

To extract, from the dreams, memories, thoughts, and emotions of living beings, a strand of Innate Spirit-Light representing the innate spirituality that achieved life.

Then it could be turned into nourishment, strengthening and transforming the Dream Bubble Shadow, which was in essence an illusory dream.

This was the inspiration Lin Qi had already conceived when he helped Yuyao Return to Void and condense Innate Spirit-Light.

But he never imagined.

The portion of his mind that had sunk into the Dream Bubble Shadow did too well.

It actually applied the method of Slaying the Three Corpses from his past-life memories to the refinement of Innate Spirit-Light.

And by sheer accident, it truly succeeded.

Through one dream reincarnation after another, it forcibly refined three strands of Innate Spirit-Light.

But the problem was that it should not have refined three strands of Innate Spirit-Light.

At most, there should have been two.

Representing his good thoughts and evil thoughts respectively.

The Demon Buddha and the Divine Mother.

Or the Saintly Buddha and the Heavenly Demon.

Either way.

In short, he should only have slain the Corpse of Goodness and the Corpse of Evil within the Dream Bubble Shadow.

He absolutely should not have slain the third corpse, the one representing the self.

Because once the Self Corpse was slain.

Then was he Lin Qi, or was the Self Corpse in the Dream Bubble Shadow, the one now calling itself Heaven-Abandoning Emperor, Lin Qi?

Put plainly.

Originally, Lin Qi had invested himself into the Dream Bubble
