Chapter 76: Dream Bubble Shadow
Attaining the Dao in a Dream, Scheming Against Cultivators from the Start
Dream Weaver
“Heaven’s will has always been hard to question since ancient times.”
Lin Qi’s tone was faint and distant. He did not press Gushe on why she thought that person was about to fail his Return to Void.
He merely gazed at the panicked Gushe.
Countless thoughts flickered through his mind, and finally condensed into five words…
Heaven’s will cannot be defied.
In the vast Mercury Secret Realm, was his meeting with Gushe truly just a coincidence?
Or could it be that when he transmigrated here, that boundless heaven’s will knew nothing at all?
Lin Qi did not want to think further. He spread out his hand and, for the first time, took the initiative to demand something from Gushe. “Give me the Essence of the Sun and Moon you’ve been hiding, then cooperate with me properly in comprehending the final Nine-Symbol Formation.”
“After I reach Foundation Establishment, we’ll flee far away and leave this place.”
“You’re not lying to me?”
Gushe asked cautiously.
“You’re so clever. How could I possibly fool you?”
“That’s true.”
Gushe nodded. “But I’ve already explained everything to you so clearly. Why do you still need to comprehend a new Nascent Innate Divine Prohibition?”
“Because I am a cultivator of the Heavenly Immortal Macrocosm.”
…
One year later.
Within the sealed chamber, a hazy phantom radiance — colorless, yet seeming to shift through endless hues — was held in Lin Qi’s palm, as if it could illuminate the emptiness of all five aggregates.
Everything around him was like a dream, all of it reflected within.
He lowered his head, gazing at the radiance in his hand. His mind stirred.
Within that phantom radiance, heaven and earth suddenly split apart. Stars appeared, sun and moon shone together, and time flowed.
Soon, cities and civilizations appeared upon the stars.
His mind stirred again, and a city surfaced within the phantom radiance.
Peddlers and foot traffic, the smoke and fire of the mortal world — all of it was contained within.
“This is the final Nascent Innate Divine Prohibition you’ve comprehended and condensed?”
“It looks pretty ordinary.”
Gushe had drawn close at some point. Seeing the phantom radiance held aloft in Lin Qi’s hand, she muttered softly, yet her gaze involuntarily fell upon the city within the phantom radiance.
Suddenly, her vision blurred, and she lost herself for a moment.
In the next instant, a graceful figure appeared within the city condensed from the phantom radiance.
It was none other than Gushe.
Gushe stood blankly on the bustling street. The road was beneath her feet, yet she did not know where to go.
She did not even remember who she was.
Just standing there dumbly on the street, watching the crowds come and go.
Suddenly, a giant face appeared in the sky.
Gushe, like everyone else, looked up in shock at the giant face that had appeared in the sky.
“Gushe, awaken.”
A voice like thunder fell into Gushe’s ears.
In the next instant, the city was annihilated, the stars shattered.
