Chapter 296: The Tribulation Arises from the Heart 3
Dream Dao Attainment, Opening Scheme Against Cultivators
Dream-Making Expert
“No wonder you called me a hypocrite.”
Lin Qi sighed softly.
He understood the other timeline the Heaven-Abandoning Emperor had deduced, the one that should have unfolded normally.
And he also understood why the Heaven-Abandoning Emperor, after learning of the Great Mayfly Calamity.
More precisely, after learning of Hearing the Dao at Dawn.
Had been speaking with such veiled sarcasm all along.
Because in the Heaven-Abandoning Emperor’s eyes.
The Great Mayfly Calamity, the Peerless Young Master losing contact in the Foreign Realm with his life or death unknown.
At the end of the day, all of it was just a pretext Lin Qi used to bind them with Hearing the Dao at Dawn.
Yes.
Hearing the Dao at Dawn could bind the Heaven-Abandoning Emperor, the Peerless Young Master, and the others.
More precisely, it could bind all living beings born from Dream Bubble Shadow.
Allowing Lin Qi to completely control Dream Bubble Shadow.
For a long time to come, he would not need to worry about the Heaven-Abandoning Emperor and the others, beings born from Dream Bubble Shadow, breaking free of his control.
Hearing the Dao at Dawn was a shackle.
A collar that could firmly bind the Heaven-Abandoning Emperor and the others until he attained the Dao of Eternity and became a Supreme Heavenly Immortal.
The reason was simple.
Live at Dawn, Die at Dusk.
It was not to make the Heaven-Abandoning Emperor and the others live at dawn and die at dusk within Dream Bubble Shadow.
Rather, it was to make it so that before the Heaven-Abandoning Emperor and the others completely Refined the False into the True and became true living beings.
As long as they walked in reality, they could only live at dawn and die at dusk.
Take the Peerless Young Master, for instance, who had currently lost contact with Lin Qi, was stranded in the Foreign Realm, and whose whereabouts were unknown.
If not for the binding of the law that was Hearing the Dao at Dawn.
Then in theory, as long as the Peerless Young Master could maintain his divine ability body while walking in reality.
He could ignore Lin Qi’s control and roam everywhere at low health.
Especially with the help of that future Ninth Heavenly Mandate, the Peerless Sword Lord.
The Peerless Young Master would then completely cut ties with Lin Qi.
Each cultivating their own path. That was only to be expected.
It was even possible that one day, the Peerless Young Master, having repeatedly gained fortuitous encounters, would come charging to his door with sword in hand.
To usurp the host and become the master himself.
That was not impossible either.
Let alone a super invincible old schemer like the Heaven-Abandoning Emperor, who possessed fifty-six billion years of Heavenly Emperor memories.
Once he lost control and broke free of Lin Qi’s grasp.
And fled to another Cosmos.
Even without future assistance.
He would likely be enough to stage a drama of the Heavenly Emperor’s rebirth.
In short, a single sentence: the Nine Spirits currently born within Dream Bubble Shadow.
Even Wan Teng, Li Qizi, and Gao Tianyou, the three who had not received the baptism of dream reincarnation and whose cultivation methods had not greatly increased.
If they were truly placed in another Cosmos.
Each of them would still be an outstanding figure of a generation, with a will as firm as iron and a Dao heart as steadfast as a god.
