Longzang

Chapter 660 Extraordinary Talent
Seeing the Dream Eater's reaction, Wei Yuan dispelled the last bit of doubt in his mind and finally understood its background.

Chaotic energy is the foundation for the Mind Realm to ascend to the Immortal Heaven; every Immortal Mountain and Grotto-Heaven contains chaotic energy. The Dream Eater's reaction indicates that the great demons of this realm are inherently afraid of the Immortal Realm, and that its own chaotic energy is real and not an illusion.

This shows that the dream world of the Dream Eater is not entirely an illusion; its foundation is actually a mental world, which truly exists. However, its mental world is extremely peculiar, ethereal, and very difficult to detect. Wei Yuan only discovered this recently by testing it with chaotic energy.

Entering the dream world of the Dream Eater begins as an illusion, and then the primordial spirit is gradually drawn in. Therefore, dying in the dream world of the Dream Eater is actually the death of the primordial spirit, and the physical body naturally becomes a walking corpse.

The Dream Eater can be described as a special, naturally gifted demon that can manipulate landscapes. Its innate illusionary powers are extremely difficult to resist, and when combined with these abilities, it creates its dream world. The closer the dream world is to reality, the weaker the will to resist those trapped within, and the stronger the Dream Eater's illusionary magic becomes.

However, once its true nature is discovered, Dream Eater is extremely fragile, even less so than a top-tier Dharma Form.

As long as you can resist its illusions, maintain your composure, and then fight it in its dream world, you will destroy the dream-eating world of the mind, causing fatal damage to it.

When the two boys burst through the door, Wei Yuan keenly sensed the fluctuations in the dream world and captured the painful thoughts, thus realizing that attacking the dream itself was attacking the dream eater.

Therefore, ever since Wei Yuan escaped from the Paper Wedding Dress Scheme, the Dream Eater has dared not easily pull Wei Yuan into its dream world again.

The Three-Eyed Bird, however, possessed an extremely high rank and was completely unaffected by illusions. It had just sensed the Dream Eater's hidden malice and thus attacked on the spot. The only reason it didn't kill the Dream Eater was that it was simply too disgusting to eat.

At this point, the Dream Eater's true nature was completely exposed, and he no longer dared to have any improper thoughts, so he presented all of Ji Liuli's abnormal dreams.

These dreams were all extremely dark and eerie, sharing the same style as the old house in the rainy night. From these dreams, Wei Yuan vaguely sensed an aura that made him tremble. Moreover, this aura was clearly incompatible with the two boys, obviously not from the same place.

It seems that the eldest sister has quite a few secrets.

Wei Yuan also felt a deep headache. He first left the dream and went to Qingming to take a look at Ji Liuli's physical body. She was still sitting cross-legged, her body empty, her primordial spirit nowhere to be found.

Wei Yuan then returned to the dream, took out the brocade bag, opened the mouth, and shook it. Ji Liuli's primordial spirit fell out and then returned to its original size.

At this moment, Wei Yuan was in his true form, and the environment had also changed. It seemed to have no connection with the Bone-Eating Demonic Sect. Then, Wei Yuan flicked out a wisp of pure energy that landed on Ji Liuli's brow. Ji Liuli then slowly woke up, looked around, and didn't know where he was for a moment.

"Aren't you going to wake up yet?" Wei Yuan shouted.

Ji Liuli trembled and slowly regained her senses. She looked at Wei Yuan, then at Shi Meng, and said, "So I was still in a dream. What happened? Why were you woken up?"

Wei Yuan said, "There was indeed an unexpected incident. Let's go outside first, and I'll explain it to you in detail."

Ji Liuli looked at her body, now only in her underwear, then at Wei Yuan, and calmly said, "Okay, I'll leave now..."

The three were standing in a courtyard, a beautiful and well-arranged garden. Suddenly, Ji Liuli punched to the side, shattering the scenery like glass and revealing the view behind an invisible wall.

It was a gloomy hall. Although it was in a mess, the throne above was spared, and several strangely shaped racks remained against the wall.

This is the Hall of a Hundred Flavors, the place where the leader of the Demonic Sect plans to let Ji Liuli experience the full spectrum of suffering.

Ji Liuli's outer garment still hung on a collapsed rack.

"Where is this?" Wei Yuan asked, puzzled.

The Dream Eater immediately agreed: "This is a dream world that I haven't finished building yet, so I'll leave it here for now."

"Oh, I see." Wei Yuan feigned realization.

Ji Liuli suddenly smiled and said, "What kind of place is that? Do you think Grand Master Wei doesn't know? Isn't that your most beloved Hundred Flavors Hall?" Wei Yuan felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head, his whole body stiffened and he couldn't move. He managed to say, "I just looked around from the outside, I didn't go in."

Ji Liuli glanced at Shi Meng and said, "Let's talk outside."

Ji Liuli's figure disappeared, and Wei Yuan and Shi Meng exchanged bewildered glances. Wei Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "Didn't you say that she wouldn't remember anything after the dream?"

"That's right!" Dream Eater said cautiously, feeling wronged. "In the past, when those humans went through the Paper Wedding Dress Scheme, I would erase all their memories and never failed. How could this happen?"

"How could this happen? Shouldn't you be the one asking me this?"

"Perhaps it's because your senior sister is exceptionally talented."

Wei Yuan stopped arguing with Shi Meng and returned to Qingming. He went to Ji Liuli's residence and knocked on the door honestly.

"Come in, you dignified leader of the Bone-Corroding Demonic Sect, do you still need to knock?"

Wei Yuan pushed open the door and entered, standing upright and awaiting his fate.

Ji Liuli said, "Please sit down, Grand Master Wei."

Wei Yuan sat down awkwardly, his bottom resting on half of the chair.

Ji Liuli laughed and said, "No need to pretend, you're quite bold."

“Those are all stories written by Shi Meng. If it were me, I would never have written them like that,” Wei Yuan explained.

Ji Liuli stretched and leaned back on the couch, saying, "I actually know most of what happened in my dreams these past few days. The Dream Eater thought it could erase my memories, but how could my primordial spirit be so easily manipulated?"

Wei Yuan secretly felt lucky; if he had listened to Shi Meng, there would be no way to salvage the situation now.

Ji Liuli reached out and lifted Wei Yuan's chin, saying with a half-smile, "Want to let you taste the myriad flavors of life too?"

Wei Yuan smiled wryly and offered no further explanation.

"Alright, if I really did something to you, wouldn't your teacher come after me and fight me to the death?"

Wei Yuan suddenly felt that Ji Liuli was different from before, seemingly more insightful and clear-headed, so he cautiously asked, "Have you resolved your inner tribulation?"

"By driving away those two children, I erased the mark that place had left on my primordial spirit. From then on, I had no more burdens, and naturally, my mental tribulation was resolved. Before, because I couldn't defeat them, I could only hide in my dreams. Then, Ancestor Yanshi sealed this part of my memory."

This way, they won't be able to find my true form, but the cost is that my primordial spirit will become increasingly burdened, and the longer I flee, the more likely my Dao heart will be damaged. I cultivate an invincible heart also to fight against them.”

Wei Yuan was puzzled: "Since True Monarch Yan Shi has already taken action, why not completely eliminate them? Although those two boys are powerful, their fighting techniques are quite ordinary, and it would not be difficult for them to win. If I were at the peak of Dharma Aspect, I could destroy them with a flick of my hand. Ancestor Yan Shi should be able to crush them with a single finger."

Ji Liuli said, "The Patriarch said that these two guys have powerful backers and heavy karma. He didn't want to get involved in this karma, so he just sealed them away and will wait for someone with the right destiny to break the seal for me in the future."

Wei Yuan was speechless. Yan Shi Zhenjun didn't want to get involved in this karma, so he sent his senior sister over to him?
