I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 528 Stealing Dreams and Transforming into Butterflies (Wishing 'The Lonely Dove' a Happy Wedding)
The sea and sky stretch endlessly, and all around is the same.

The sword-nurturing gourd transformed into a streak of azure light, speeding across the boundless blue waves.

Jiang Yi leaned against the waist of the gourd, one leg bent and the other hanging down casually. She wore a plain white robe and her hair was not tied up, but just casually draped over her shoulders.

She held the Qinghui zither in her arms, her fingers idly plucking at it, producing fragmented and scattered sounds.

Sometimes it would burst out with a few metallic clangs, as if trying to imitate the fierceness of 'Wuqu Dispelling Demons', and at other times it would drag out a long and obscure low murmur, trying to depict the coldness of 'Taiyin Devouring Souls'.

Unfortunately, the music was neither a tune nor a melody; only a sluggish, discordant sound drifted away in the sea breeze.

"So boring, so boring, I'm so incredibly bored~~~~"

After letting out a big yawn, Jiang Yi rallied herself and sat up cross-legged.

She repeatedly practiced the thirty-six sword techniques of the "Heavenly Dipper Demon-Subduing Sword Manual," including the evil-suppressing and killing techniques of the Big Dipper, the cunning and ruthless techniques of the Southern Dipper, and the combination of strength and gentleness in the four symbols of demon-slaying...

The names and images of the moves surged in my mind, but I could never blend them into a smooth rhythm.

The essence of "Shangqing String Melody Manual" lies in "the zither music is the sword manual, and the heart and the strings are in harmony". However, at this moment, her inspiration was dry. No matter how she mobilized her consciousness, the zither music could not resonate with the sword intent.

"Sigh! Do I just lack talent in this area? Have all my years of playing the piano been for nothing?"

Below the gourd, the waves lapped monotonously, their sound like a sigh.

At this moment, Jiang Yi couldn't help but think of Xiao Wujiu, who taught her to play the zither. If it were him, he could probably compose a sword song with ease.

"Qin Emperor, you have truly ruined your descendants, causing the deaths of countless brilliant talents!"

Even though many years have passed, Jiang Yi still feels regret when she thinks of Xiao Wujiu.

This is what they call "the heavens are jealous of talent"!
Jiang Yi accepted the Qinghuiqin. She had only been at sea for two months, and she was already bored to death. The main problem was that she couldn't sleep to pass the time; she had to stay awake and control the sword-nurturing gourd herself.

Jiang Yi glanced inside the sword-nurturing gourd again; the Youxian Ferry was deathly silent.

Hongli was fast asleep by the Fire Pool, even turning over, scratching her belly, and smacking her lips. Hua Gu slept soundly in the Sword Washing Pool, surrounded by clouds and mist, exuding an ethereal aura.

The Mountain-Suppressing Gold has transformed into its true form as a stone lion, standing motionless in the center of the spiritual field. The vines of the Azure Sky withered and draped themselves over the Purple Jade Ancient Tree, and even the most clamorous Heart-Piercing Mirror had lost its golden light. Zhaoming and Yaoling silently took root on Sword Tomb Mountain.

The demons exhausted their essence during the Nascent Soul Tribulation and even helped her withstand the lightning, absorbing the power fed back from the Five Elements Tribulation. That was Nascent Soul level power, which was a great tonic for them.

They've overdone it now, and everyone's too sleepy to wake up.

"What goes around comes around. You always have to pay the price for your actions. We still have at least ten months of travel to reach the Floating Light Sea. Ah—"

Jiang Yi felt that she was just being pathetic. Whenever all the demons were around, Hong Li and Zhu Xin would argue at the drop of a hat, Yao Ling would fan the flames, and Hua Gu would try to mediate, but she would find it too noisy.

Now that everyone is quiet, she's incredibly bored.

Jiang Yi spread his divine sense to scan the surrounding sea area, trying to find traces of merchant ships. Unfortunately, the surrounding area was all sea, with no reference points, so he couldn't find the merchant ships' route at all.

"Forget it, let's continue studying the 'Dream Stealing Butterfly Transformation' technique of the fourth level of the Sleeping Immortal Technique."

After she formed her nascent soul, the sleep she took allowed the "Sleeping Immortal Skill" to naturally advance to the fourth level, granting her a new and special ability.

The first level of the Sleeping Immortal Technique is sitting or lying down like a mountain, providing absolute defense.

The second layer is the dream of wealth and glory, which allows her to enter the dreams of all living beings, experience joys and sorrows, and temper her mind.

The third layer is the Mirror Heart Flame, which transforms her Golden Core Flame into the Mirror Heart Flame that specifically burns away her original heart's obsessions.

The fourth layer is still related to dreams. She can steal the dreams of living beings and create dream butterfly clones. The more complete the life a living being experiences in the dream, the more realistic the dream butterfly clone will be, and the personality and abilities of the dream butterfly clone will be completely consistent with those in the dream.

She controls the Dream Butterfly clone, and its true strength is consistent with her own cultivation level. It cannot exceed hers by too much, otherwise the Dream Butterfly clone will not be able to condense. It is best to keep the Dream Butterfly clone within the Nascent Soul stage, as it is easiest to control.

The weakness of the Dream Butterfly clone is its fragility. It has the magical power of a Nascent Soul cultivator, but lacks the physical defense of one, and could be killed in one move.

However, her advantage is that she can condense multiple Dream Butterfly clones at the same time. The exact number depends on how much her divine sense can bear and how many she can control simultaneously.

Jiang Yi felt that controlling the thirty-six Dream Butterfly clones with the thirty-six Divine Consciousness Star Swords in her sea of ​​consciousness shouldn't be a big problem.

Even if these thirty-six clones are defeated in one move, before they are defeated, each of them can unleash a powerful attack, and the opponent will also be defeated!
However, this is the extreme case. Under normal circumstances, if she wants to control the Dream Butterfly clone, she needs to 'become' this person. According to the personality and behavior of this clone in the dream, if it deviates too much from the true nature, the Dream Butterfly will wake up and the clone will dissipate.

Therefore, if she wants to use her clones to travel outside, she can only control one clone at a time, and she must also be careful not to let her true nature be affected by the nature of her clones, and always remain clear-headed.

Otherwise, if Zhuangzi dreamt he was a butterfly, and the butterfly dreamt he was Zhuangzi, who would be who, and who could tell the difference?

Jiang Yi had already thoroughly researched how to operate it, and all she needed to do was find someone to try it out. In particular, she had the mayfly pillow in her hand, so she didn't have to worry about high-level cultivators not sleeping and dreaming, or about incomplete dream-stealing issues.

Find someone, pat them to sleep with a pillow, the unique feature of the mayfly pillow is that after patting them to sleep, it will give them a 'complete life'.

Perhaps this mayfly pillow was specially crafted by the Lazy Immortal for the purpose of 'stealing dreams and transforming into butterflies'. Later, he must have found a better one, so he left the old pillow in Kunlun.

Jiang Yi's divine sense swept over the demons in Youxian Ferry again, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

Dream marks appeared on Hongli's head; this little guy had actually started dreaming!

Isn't this a coincidence?

Jiang Yi hurriedly checked the "Blinding the Eyes" on the sword-nurturing gourd again to ensure that she and the gourd were completely invisible. The five copper coins hanging on the gourd were also in a passively activated state, and the great formation would be activated if someone attacked her.

For safety's sake, Jiang Yi took out another enhanced version of the sword puppet that Duan Jin had just refined and placed it behind the gourd, so that the gourd would keep moving at a constant speed in one direction.

"Let me see what kind of dream you're having now."

Jiang Yi knew the way well and slipped into the Red Glass Dream.

"...I've told you countless times, you failed to awaken your bloodline and have no chance of becoming a Nine-Tails. You still won't give up. Now that you've been expelled from the Qingqiu Fox Clan, if you dare to be insolent again, you'll be killed without mercy!"

As soon as Jiang Yi entered, she saw a small red fire fox being kicked hard by a large fox in the forest. The fox crashed heavily into a tree and fell to the ground, covered in mud and grass clippings, looking quite disheveled.

The large fox stood gracefully, proudly raising its neck, its eyes filled with disdain.

The little red fox bravely got up and roared angrily at the big fox.

"You all need to remember this: today you are the ones who expel me from Qingqiu, but even if you beg me to return in the future, I, Hong Li, will never turn back!"

His mud-covered face was filled with determination, and his blue eyes gleamed with resentful anger. After speaking, he turned and left without hesitation.

Jiang Yi was delighted.

Wow! This is a classic underdog-to-hero story, huh? Little Hongli, you really know how to make dreams satisfying.

Then I'm sorry, but let me have some fun for you!
Jiang Yi raised her hand and formed a hand seal. She immediately transformed into a stream of light and rushed into the little red fire fox's body.

The little red fox paused, its tail flicking in confusion, before swatting away a rock blocking its path and continuing on its way.

　Wishing 'The Lonely Dove' a happy marriage, blissful life, and most importantly, abundant wealth and all the best!
