I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 530 Who Do You Want to Be? (Bonus Chapter for Remaining September Tickets)
After agreeing to help Hongli find a new type of strange fire for free, Hongli grumbled a few times, pinched Hua Gu's face and pulled it, and then the matter was over.

Hua Gu covered her face and tears streamed down her face. Jiang Yi bent down and blew on her face, and Hua Gu stopped crying and started laughing.

"Take Qingxiao with you, and let's see how the Qingmu Cauldron and the Heavenly Time Instrument are merging."

"Ok!"

Hua Gu violently pulled Qing Xiao out of the ground and ran after Hong Li. Hong Li, like a child, picked up the Green Wood Cauldron and ran away, not letting Hua Gu catch up with her.

Jiang Yi picked up the Heart-Piercing Mirror. She had an idea to discuss the Dream-Stealing Butterfly Transformation with him later.

"How are you feeling, Zhenshan Duanjin? Have you recovered from the injuries you sustained during the lightning tribulation?" Jiang Yi asked with concern.

After a tribulation of lightning, all the demons reached the peak of the Golden Core stage, their demon cores were perfected, and their demonic power increased significantly.

Zhenshan raised his arm and patted his strong arm. "He's all healed. There's not a single hidden danger left, and his skills have even improved a lot."

Duan Jin nodded, "Although the Earth Yellow Thunder was dangerous, it was very compatible with the demonic attributes of me and Zhenshan. It allowed us to completely refine the Kunjin Flame Marrow that we had not fully refined before. It also forcibly fused with a lot of the magnetic ores that we brought back from Zhenzhou. Now Zhenshan and I can not only control gravity, but also control the power of Yuan Magnetic Force."

As they spoke, Duan Jin and Zhen Shan exchanged a glance, and together they reached out a hand towards the sea of ​​sword energy above their heads. An invisible force spread out, and the sea of ​​sword energy immediately boiled. Far behind the sea of ​​clouds, on Sword Tomb Mountain, the Broken Sword trembled violently.

The Heart-Piercing Mirror that Jiang Yi was holding was also attracted by a powerful magnetic force, and trembled in Jiang Yi's hand.

Zhenshan Duanjin stopped after only one attempt, saying, "The magnetic force is not strong enough at the moment; it can only slightly interfere with metal-attribute magic weapons and spells."

Zhu Xin suddenly spoke up, "The power of Yuan Magnetic can not only suppress the metal element. When cultivated to a high level, it can suppress all five elements in the world. Any spell or magic weapon that is within the five elements will be much weaker in the face of Yuan Magnetic."

"Only forces outside the Five Elements, such as the Ghost Path and higher-level laws, can be unrestrained. If you are interested, you can study the Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Source Formation on Sword Tomb Mountain, which will greatly help you in utilizing your own Yuan Magnetic Force."

Zhenshan nodded vigorously, "Okay, we'll go right away."

"Take your time, there's no need to rush. I'll have Zhaoming pick you up."

Jiang Yi informed Zhaoming, and seeing that Zhaoming had taken Zhenshan and Duanjin away, she patted the Heart-Piercing Mirror in her hand with satisfaction.

As expected of the top tutor of Youxian Ferry, she basically doesn't need to worry about the cultivation of the demons. Zhu Xin will give her pointers whenever he sees something.

After confirming that there were no unexpected situations outside and everything was alright, Jiang Yi sat down by the Sword Washing Pool with the Heart-Piercing Mirror in hand.

Waterfalls cascade down Sword Tomb Mountain, and lotus flowers bloom in the Sword Washing Pool. At the center of the lotus flowers, a black and white lotus stands out like a crane among chickens, emitting a hazy, clear glow.

On the lakeside, a dozen or so kidnapped turtles of various sizes lay motionless, silently absorbing spiritual energy.

"Zhu Xin, you should have noticed by now that I can no longer absorb innate source energy on my own."

Jiang Yi took the initiative to confess. The Heart-Piercing Mirror flashed and transformed into a golden-clad young boy, standing in front of her with his hands on his hips, tilting his head and glaring at her for a long time.

In the end, Zhu Xin actually sighed and didn't scold her.

"Fine, I've tolerated you for thousands of years, so I'll tolerate you for a few hundred more. Once you reach the Void Refinement stage, you must restore your Innate Source Qi, or I'll spread all the embarrassing things you've done to every corner of the Mountain and Sea Realm!"

Jiang Yi's forehead tightened. What a terrifying threat! And with his ability to destroy minds, he was sure he could do it.

"Can you still advance to the next level?" This was Jiang Yi's biggest worry. Zhu Xin slumped down next to Jiang Yi, dejected. "Difficult! But it's not hopeless."

"The River of Mortal Dust?" Jiang Yi asked.

Zhu Xin nodded, "That's right. If we don't have the innate source energy that creates all things in the world, we can only use the Red Dust River water to help me advance. If I can't advance smoothly, Hua Gu and the others' cultivation will also be blocked. The five of us must advance together."

The drawback of simultaneously contracting five natal spirits lies here.

Jiang Yi recalled, "When I formed my core, you said I needed the Red Dust River water to advance, but you advanced directly after my Core Formation tribulation. I think I forgot to ask you what happened at the time. Could it be that the Red Dust River water is the obsession of all living beings?"

"Pretty much. When you formed your core, you were inside the Dream Demon's body and experienced countless dreams. The obsessions in those dreams accumulated and became the River of Mortals water that I needed to advance. The river is a very special image. The River of Mortals, the River of Oblivion, and the River of Time are all named after rivers, and there are similarities between them."

Jiang Yi understood immediately, "So, using the water of the River of Oblivion can also help you advance in your cultivation level?"

With a cold, merciless glare, he said, "You still want to go to the Yellow Springs to find the River of Oblivion?"

"No, I'm not tired of living. May I ask, Lord Zhuxin, what are your thoughts?"

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Xin asked Jiang Yi, "Was that supernatural power you used when you impersonated Hong Li some kind of dream projection onto reality?"

Jiang Yi explained the principle of stealing dreams and transforming into butterflies to Zhu Xin in detail, and Zhu Xin's eyes lit up the more he listened.

"I've got a solution!" Zhu Xin snapped his fingers. "Dreams are also a kind of law of heaven and earth. As long as they are laws of heaven and earth, they will not exist in isolation. The time in a cultivator's dream is often hundreds of years, and it has gone through many vicissitudes. It must contain worldly obsessions and the power of time."

"If you ever steal another cultivator's dream in the future, before you leave the dream world, bring me some water from the river that has existed the longest in that dream world. You can transform the people in the dream into dream butterfly clones and project them into reality. Bringing some river water should be no problem. Whether it works or not, give it a try first."

"Row!"

Having discussed the issue of Zhu Xin, Jiang Yi began to talk in detail with Zhu Xin about stealing dreams and transforming into butterflies.

After the stolen Crimson Dream transforms into a butterfly, it can be stored in her sea of ​​consciousness. How long it can be stored remains to be verified, as the lazy immortal is too lazy to write it directly into her cultivation technique.

When she controlled this clone, she had two methods of control, which Lazy Immortal did not write in the Sleeping Immortal Technique.

One option is to hide her main body inside her clone, just like before. The advantage of this is that it strengthens the clone's defense, making it less likely to be defeated. It's like putting a shell on herself.

One possibility is that the main body remains in one place and controls the clone independently. She hasn't verified this yet, but she estimates that the range is within the area that her divine sense can cover.

Because she experienced a complete dream from Hong Li's perspective, when she becomes Hong Li's clone, she can perfectly play the role of Hong Li as long as she emptys her mind. Her speech, actions, and even thought patterns are all in Hong Li's mode, which is a very strange feeling.

This gave Jiang Yi an idea.

"Zhu Xin, tell me, can I create my own dream, then steal the identity of someone in that dream and create an avatar?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xin narrowed his eyes. "Who do you want to become?"

"Xiao Wujiu!"

If it were him, composing the "Heavenly Gang Demon-Subduing Sword Melody" would definitely be easier, and Jiang Yi felt that she knew Xiao Wujiu well enough to have a higher chance of success.
