If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 859 Infinite Nightmare
"Listen carefully." Teacher Wuyazi appeared beside Xi Juan silently.

With her arrival, the environment of the chaotic world outside the domain around Xi Juan immediately became a reality.

The ox cart stopped at a three-way dirt road beside the highway. There were lush trees on both sides of the road. There was a canal a few steps away, and the cool river water flowed into the nearby rice fields.

Fireflies were looming in the grass by the water, and the croaking of frogs in the water was a continuous sound.

It is still a real dream, but it is exactly the same as the real environment outside.

At this time, the boundary between dreams and reality is blurred.

"Ah~~~" Suddenly, a scream of pain worse than giving birth to a baby came from behind the mound five hundred steps away.

The howling seemed to have exhausted all its strength. It quickly became low and distant, and after a few breaths, there was no sound at all.

"Is it Taoist Nightmare?" Xi Juan asked in surprise, "What happened to him? He sounds like he's in a lot of pain."

"It's actually not easy to really die in a dream. Have you ever had a nightmare in which you were killed by someone?" Xiaoyu asked.

Xi Juan immediately recalled the night when the Nightmare Taoist used his evil nightmare magic to deal with him.

"I have died many times, over and over again, but I have never been able to wake up from the dream. If it is a normal nightmare, I will usually wake up at the moment of being killed." He asked in confusion.

Xiao Yu said: "In the nightmare set by the Nightmare Taoist, you thought you were dead, but in fact he just made you think you were dead.

By the same token, in the dream I created, all his feelings can be given to him by me.

Including pain and death.

But I can't completely kill it through dreams alone.

He can terrorize you because your realm is not as good as his, and he can crush you in the dream dimension.

The reason why I can play with him like the palm of my hand is that my realm is higher than his, but not to the level of a master crushing mortals.

After torturing him for a period of time, he will gradually die in despair.

If you believe in your heart that you are completely dead, you can actually find a way to survive.

Just like when an ordinary person has a nightmare, when they are killed, the nightmare ends immediately and they wake up from the bed.

When he returns to his physical body, it becomes difficult to kill him.

He can use the art of escape to escape, or he can escape with just his spirit like a crocodile.

It is better to leave a way out and let him swear a poisonous oath."

"I hope he won't break his oath." Xi Juan was still a little worried.

He was sharp-minded and could clearly sense the endless hatred in the Nightmare Taoist's heart.

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "So what if he broke his oath? You have just seen how powerful the 'Creator' at the second level of the 'Dream God' is.

All the Nightmare Daoists who were at their peak have failed.

Now he has lost his talisman and Birch's blood.

If I ever see you again, you should have reached the level of the Creator. Why are you still afraid of him?"

The second level of "Creator" realm in "Dream God" can be subdivided into several small realms if it is taken out separately.

At first, Xiaoyu could only add or delete one item in the dream scene.

For example, she returned to Xiaojingxuan in her dream and made the vase on the table disappear, or a vase appeared out of thin air.

At that time, whether the vase disappeared or multiple vases appeared out of thin air, a mosaic afterimage would be left behind.

The vase disappeared, but there was still a vague afterimage in its place; there was an extra vase, covered with a layer of mosaic, which was obviously out of harmony with the surrounding landscape.

As she continued to train in her dreams, her realm became higher and higher, and the things she created became increasingly difficult to distinguish between real and fake, and eventually the fake became real.

Now she can not only create things, but also forge laws.

Why did the crocodile dragon and the nightmare Taoist both fall into dreams in a daze?

Obviously, they were all very skilled in evil nightmare magic, and they knew very well that they shouldn't rashly intrude into other people's dreams.

In fact, from the very beginning, as soon as they fell asleep, they fell into the dream woven by Xiaoyu.

To put it bluntly, Xiaoyu used the fourth level of "building bridges" to weave her own dream outside of their dreams.

Just like the intestinal worms that kept shouting outside Xiaojingxuan in the dream, once Xiaoyu pushed the door out, he came to the Rotten Demon Eye.

They didn't notice anything unusual because Xiaoyu had woven a "dream dimension environment" in his dream.

They saw the gray void and thought it was a normal dream dimension, but it was actually just a dream woven by Xiaoyu.

Even the rules and aura are exactly the same, it is almost a real dream dimension. It would be strange if they were not deceived.

Afterwards, the Nightmare Taoist used Burchi's dream-eating power to swallow the dream whole.

This is true, but what he swallowed was only a small part of the entire "Dream Woven by the Yu Family".

As long as Xiaoyu is willing, she can weave ten thousand dreams and let him swallow them ten thousand times, and he will still be in the dream.

Yan Daoren was an expert and knew that struggling was futile, so he didn't waste his time and just raised his hands in surrender.

"Teacher's Dream Divine Art is indeed mysterious. Only at the second level, he is already like a god in a dream, almost omnipotent.

I really can't imagine what kind of power one will have after reaching the fifth level." Xi Juan exclaimed in admiration.

Xiao Yu shook her head and said, “Dream-making is the second level, it’s enough to protect yourself.

But if you want to be like me, actively attacking and playing with the opponent at will, you must reach the fourth level of "bridge building."

Only when you have the state of "building a bridge" can you manipulate the other party at will. Silently build the "bridge" at the edge of the other party's dream. Once on the bridge, the final destination of the bridge is decided by the caster.

He would go almost wherever he was told to go.

As long as the other party leaves his dream, he will not be able to escape no matter what.

Just like when Xiaoyu could only hide in the small quiet pavilion in her dream, she dared not go out. Once she went out, she came to the Rotten Demon Eye. There was no way, the two dreams were bridged.

If you are only at the second level, controlling your own dreams and setting various traps in the dreams, and others only watch from the outside but don't come in, what should you do?
The uncle and nephew Lulong were considered reckless, but they were still unwilling to take the initiative to enter Xi Juan's dream.

This is also the reason why Xiaoyu listed the fourth level "Bridge Building" as a "forbidden technique".

Anyone who has the intention to harm others can easily degenerate into a heinous villain with this technique.

Still in the dream dimension, in the dream woven by Xiaoyu.

The dream environment at this time is exactly the same as reality.

However, in the real world, the widow was still sleeping soundly in the carriage. In the corresponding position in the dream, there was no cart or widow, but a huge beast with a black claw next to it.

This is the money left by the Nightmare Taoist to buy his life.

Xi Juan circled the beast several times and asked in surprise, "Teacher, is this monster really the legendary Birch? How did it get into the old dragon's chest? Is it dead or alive now?"

In this era, various rituals to exorcise ghosts and evil spirits were very popular and often took the form of festivals.

In other words, there are similar ceremonies on every major festival.

For example, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, during the Lantern Festival, people drive away furry dogs.

For example, setting off firecrackers to drive away the Nian monster.

The most famous and largest-scale ritual of exorcism is to worship and perform the twelve evil gods.

The principle of the ritual is also very simple. These evil spirits can devour things that are ominous to humans.

For example, Birch.

Birch loves to eat nightmares.

Ordinary people regard nightmares as ominous things like mountain spirits, wild monsters, poisonous insects and beasts, plague, and witchcraft.

Swallowing nightmares will keep bad luck away from them. Besides Burch, the other eleven evil spirits swallow evil ghosts, plagues, spirits, parasites, and poisons.
Even the tortures in the government offices were believed by the common people to be devoured by the evil spirit.

Well, the people of this era believed that they were being sued and tortured by the government, which was similar to the plague, and that it was a ghost called "crucified" that was spreading the plague.

If the evil spirit devours the "crucified" ghost plague, they will not be captured by the officials and tortured to a state worse than death next year.

Worshiping the twelve evil gods is not some cult ritual, but simply the common people's simple wish for a happy life.

It was the first time for Xiaoyu and Xijuan to see Birch in their lives, but they had already heard and sung the "Song of the Twelve Beasts Eating Ghosts".

It is clearly written in the song about eating ghosts that Birch eats nightmares.

"This is indeed Burch, Burch's blood. I don't know whether the Nightmare Taoist killed a Burch or got Burch's blood from somewhere, integrated it into his body, and used Burch's magical powers.

Didn’t he swallow two pieces of dreams before?

That is Birch's unique magical power."

Xiaoyu stared at Birch, who seemed to have just died, on the ground, feeling a little troubled.

There is no doubt that Birch is a very rare ancient beast, even if it is just a corpse, it is very precious.

But this Birch was no normal corpse.

It is the remnant of the essence of Burchi that was once integrated into the blood of the Nightmare Taoist.

If you learn the Nightmare Taoist and integrate it into your body, you will also have a chance to awaken Birch's magical powers.

"It's clearly a complete Birch, so why is there only a pool of Birch's blood?" Xi Juan asked in surprise.

"This is a dream! In the dream, it appears as Birch, and it is brought into reality."

Xiao Yu hesitated. "Birch should be a life form in dreams. If we bring this Birch to reality, it will probably turn into a ball of special energy and dissipate between heaven and earth."

Xi Juan frowned and said, "Why not just throw it into the dream world instead of taking it to reality?"

"Do you want this Burke?" Xiao Yu asked, "I can extract the spiritual power from it and integrate it into your body. Forget it, you have immortal bones. Integrating Burke's blood essence will at most be of some benefit to the practice of Dream Divine Art.

But once the "Dream God Art" is cultivated to the fourth level, it will be more powerful than Birch.

Once the blood of strange beasts contaminates the fairy bone, it will definitely do more harm than good.

So, let’s throw away this Birch.”

Xiao Yu was reluctant to throw it away, "Throw it in the dream first. I will open up a separate dream to store Birch's blood. Maybe it will be useful in the future."

Xi Juan was surprised and asked, "Teacher, can you still keep dreaming after waking up?"

Xiao Yu said: "When you have mastered the first level of 'Awakening' in the 'Dream Magic', there will be no difference between reality and dreams for you.

You can be awake, you can be in deep sleep, you can be half asleep and half awake, you can be nine parts asleep and one part awake, or you can be one part asleep and nine parts awake.
Your mind is fragmented into countless thoughts.

It is entirely up to you to control which thought is resting and which thought is awake.

Then, you can also keep having a sweet dream or a nightmare.

When you enter the second realm, 'Dream Creator', you can also create a private garden and become an emperor in your dreams."

Xi Juan was fascinated and said, "This 'Dream Magic' is even more joyful than the magic of immortals."

Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "I have already entered the fourth level. Do you think I am obsessed with 'Three Thousand Great Dreams'?
The three thousand dreams are ultimately just illusions!

Ordinary people find it difficult to distinguish between illusion and fantasy and become addicted to beautiful dreams.

But you can improve step by step by practicing "Dream Magic".

Before becoming a creator and being able to weave a dream world at will, he first "woke up".

When one has achieved the first level of Dream Magic, he is in a lucid state and will never be confused by dreams.

I can't even deceive myself, I know in my heart that all dreams are fake.

How can you be happy if you are clear-headed and know that everything is fake and you are not deceived? "

Xi Juan was stunned for a moment, then he said thoughtfully: "Teacher is wholeheartedly pursuing the Way of Heaven, so he cannot deceive himself.

If you are a mortal, lonely, and have nothing to pursue, you should be able to be very happy if you get drunk in a dream like drinking."

Xiao Yu looked at him in surprise, "You haven't even started to struggle yet, but you're already feeling bored with the fame and success that will come after the struggle. Do you want to lie down?"

Xi Juan scratched the back of his head and said with a wry smile, "My disciple is being pretentious."

He pointed at the black claw next to Birch and asked, "What is this talisman? It's creepy and weird. When my disciples saw it flying over, they didn't dare to touch it."

The black claw has three fingers, the size of a ten-year-old child's arm. The surface is covered with three inches of thick black hair, and there is an eye in the palm. There is no eyelid, and the eye is always wide open, with circles of purple lines on the eyeball.

Staring at it makes one dizzy.

"This black claw must be the remains of some evil demon."

Xiao Yu picked up the black claw and carefully sensed the evil power in the claw. He said thoughtfully: "It should come from the dream dimension! I should have thought of it earlier. The dream dimension may also be invaded by evil creatures from outside the domain."

Didn’t the intestinal worms invade the dream dimension of Pangu World?
According to Xiaoyu's own personal experience, the dream dimension exists even outside the domain.

At that time, outside the rift, she was still bewitched by the intestinal worms and was trapped in the nightmare forever.

——Could it be that the dream dimension, like the Milky Way, is also the “natural defense zone” of the Pangu world?
The Milky Way blocks material invasions, and the dream dimension is a "speed bump" for the invasion of spiritual will?
Or, could the dream dimension even spread infinitely in the chaos outside the universe? Or even connect different universes through the dream dimension?

Xiao Yu thought about it and said, "Juan'er, we have to travel tomorrow morning. You can still sleep for a while when you go back."

"Well, teacher, you should also go to bed early."

The crocodile's revenge incident ended here, and Xi Juan could sleep peacefully.

After Xi Juan left the dream, Xiao Yu lowered his head and stared at the devil's claws in his hand with a changeable expression, and the eyeballs in his eye sockets unconsciously turned into devil eyes with faint flickering light.

"Big fish eat small fish, big demons eat small demons. I am the old demon, and you are the small demon. You deserve to be eaten by me."

After some self-comfort, her eyeballs split into two mouths with sharp teeth.

"Crack, crack!" The eyeballs were bitten quickly with the mouth.

There was no sign of what they were biting, and gaps appeared one after another on the black claws in Xiaoyu's hands.

Eventually it disappears completely.

This is a dream, and the rules and landscape of the dream are controlled and woven by her.

In the real world, her eyeballs cannot turn into a mouth full of sharp teeth.

The gnawing of teeth was just a "cartoon interpretation" of her swallowing the source of demonic energy.

"Burp~~" The two eyes and mouth burped, and Xiaoyu felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

"The fourth move of the Demon Eye Technique is here. Infinite Nightmare!"

The eyes and mouth disappeared, returning to normal, the magic eyes flashing purple-black light.

At this time, strange lines appear on the eyeballs.

very attractive.

But once you look at it, it makes you feel creepy.

It was as if it were the mouth of a giant beast, able to extract a person's soul and devour it.

Infinite Nightmares: With just a glance, the prepared nightmare can be implanted into the other person's mind, as if the other person had experienced the nightmare personally.

Once a weak-willed enemy is stunned, he will be unable to take his eyes away and will eventually be completely defeated by the continuous nightmares.

It’s very weird and very “demonic”.

Xiaoyu is becoming more and more like the "First Generation Demon Ancestor".
