Dream Travel

Chapter 475 We are extraterrestrial demons

The source of the strange dream is called Shan Qifeng. Bai Mu easily found the other party and learned what the other party's name was.

Shan Qifeng was quite famous in Tianshan Village, not only because the other party was an old man over two hundred years old, but also because Shan Qifeng was the instructor of Tianshan Village.

The hunters and martial arts masters in the mountain village all learned from Shan Qifeng. Originally, Tianshan Village was a dilapidated little mountain village, but it was because of Shan Qifeng's appearance that it prospered.

However, due to its terrain, Tianshan Village cannot grow any larger.

"That's my story. There's not much to elaborate on in my life."

Looking at the young man in front of him, Shan Qifeng revealed a slightly nostalgic expression: "I... also thought about leaving, but there are people here that I can't bear to leave."

"Leave?" Bai Mu asked, somewhat surprised.

Finding Shan Qifeng wasn't difficult for him. The village wasn't big, and everyone knew each other, so Bai Mu didn't encounter much of an obstacle when he went to inquire about Shan Qifeng after selling the medicine.

Besides, this place is only so big; you can find it without asking around.

It turned out that Bai Mu hadn't found Shan Qifeng yet, but the other party had found him first.

Just like in reality, Bai Mu thought Shan Qifeng was an old man in his eighties or nineties.

It turns out he was over two hundred years old.

“Yes… leave.” Shan Qifeng took a sip of coarse tea and looked out the window: “I realized more than a hundred years ago that I shouldn’t belong here, but at that time I didn’t know where I should go, until I met you.”

Shan Qifeng stared at the white curtain. He was over two hundred years old, and even as a martial arts master, his days were numbered.

As he approached the end of his life, he came to understand many things, and after seeing the white curtain, he understood even more.

He certainly doesn't belong here.

"So, I shouldn't have shown up?"

Bai Mu smiled and asked Shan Qifeng, who showed no hostility, only a sense of reflection on life.

“I should thank you for appearing in my life; you’ve helped me understand some things.” Shan Qifeng shook his head. “What do you need?”

Bai Mu took out a bottle: "I don't need anything, but if you have any powerful fighting techniques, Grandpa, could you teach me?"

“The methods used in the mountains and fields are no match for those major clans.” Shan Qifeng shook his head; he could tell that Bai Mu was not weak.

As for the cultivation method he has mastered, it may not be suitable for Bai Mu, but he doesn't mind sharing it if Bai Mu wants to know about it.

Shan Qifeng took out an old book: "I wrote this eighty years ago. Take a look if you're interested."

The book is titled "Thousand Mountains," so it should be considered martial arts... Anyway, Bai Mu thinks it's not about cultivating immortality.

The content itself isn't particularly complex, but for someone like Bai Mu who has never encountered this type of knowledge before, it's simply impossible to learn it at a glance.

After taking a picture with his camera, Bai Mu returned the book to Shan Qifeng.

He then said, "Old man, this can add twenty years to a person's life. Are you interested?"

“It used to be there, but it’s not anymore.” Shan Qifeng glanced at the bottle Bai Mu had placed on the table, shook his head, and showed a thoughtful expression.

He looked at the white screen with a hint of melancholy: "It would have been better if you had come two years later."

Shan Qifeng took out a piece of paper, preparing to write a letter, but as he was about to write, he looked at the white curtain: "You..."

"I'll go out first."

Bai Mu left Shan Qifeng's room and immediately noticed some villagers watching him.

He didn't mind, found a place to sit down, looked down at the Dream Etching camera in his hand, and pondered its contents.

The annotations on "Thousand Mountains" state that it was created by Shan Qifeng after observing the Ten Thousand Mountains. However, Shan Qifeng believed that his talent was limited, so the technique he created was called "Thousand Mountains".

The peaks rise one after another into the clouds, stretching and undulating like waves.

That's the gist of Qianshan. Bai Mu tried to understand it in his own words... well, he didn't really understand anything.

However, he could summarize that this technique should be for body refinement, but it was not the kind that made one appear as immovable as a mountain.

Instead, they cultivate a foundation as solid as mountains, and when they fight, they are as turbulent as waves.

Was Old Master Shan Qifeng, the source of this strange dream, also a warmonger when he was young?

It seems that this technique is not difficult for Bai Mu to learn. Even someone like him who has never been exposed to a similar method before can slowly understand the content of the previous chapter.

We'll figure out the rest gradually. This method is easy to learn but difficult to master.

Click.

The door opened, and Shan Qifeng came out of the house, having changed into clothes that were very suitable for battle.

Shan Qifeng said to Bai Mu, "Wait for me a little longer."

"Hmm?" Bai Mu sensed that the old man seemed to have misunderstood something.

"Old man, what do you mean by this?"

"You didn't come here specifically to see me?" Shan Qifeng asked Bai Mu with some surprise.

Bai Mu immediately shook his head: "I came specifically to find you, but I'm just passing through. You don't think I'm an enemy, do you?"

“…Oh~” Shan Qifeng looked thoughtful, then said, “That makes no difference, wait for me a little longer.”

Shan Qifeng kept everyone in suspense, and Bai Mu was eager to pick up the Dream-Eroding Imperial Arm to see what the old man was thinking.

Shan Qifeng left, seemingly saying goodbye to someone.

He's an old man over two hundred years old, and many people in the mountain village are his descendants.

Four hours later, Shan Qifeng found Bai Mu, who was still working on the first chapter of 'Thousand Mountains'.

"The first part of the Thousand Mountains is easy to learn but difficult to master. The children in the village practice it, but the difficulty increases with each chapter."

Shan Qifeng and Bai Mu explained the cultivation process of Qianshan.

After all, he was the creator of this technique, so his explanations were easy for Bai Mu to understand.

There are ten chapters in total, which means there are ten levels.

每一层的难度都会增加，但根据山启封的理解，那就是1+2+4+8+16+32……十层为千山。

The first five levels are not difficult, but the further you go, the harder it becomes to improve, and the more obvious the improvement becomes.

"So, sir, which floor are you on now?"

"Nine levels," Shan Qifeng said with some regret. "If I could break through to the tenth level, then perhaps I could see the 'Ten Thousand Mountains'... Let's go."

"Sigh, I want to stay here a little longer."

"What's so interesting about a run-down mountain village? Let's go, I'll tell you something else on the way." Shan Qifeng, despite his advanced age, seemed rather impatient at this moment.

Bai Mu glanced back at Shan Qifeng's house.

Shan Qifeng said, "I gave the bottle of medicine you left to my descendants, so it's not like you took my things for nothing." On the way out of Tianshan Village, many villagers seemed hesitant to speak.

The pharmacy owner stood at the door, and when he saw the white curtain, he looked regretful. It was unclear what he was regretting.

"Is he also your descendant?"

“…Hmm.” Shan Qifeng nodded slightly, a look of reminiscence on his face, then shook his head without saying anything more.

Without further interaction with the villagers, he left Tianshan Village lightly packed.

He has already confessed everything he needed to, and he has no lingering attachment to Tianshan Village.

After all, he had lived for over two hundred years. The saying "to live to old age is to be a thief" does not apply to everyone, but as his time was drawing to a close, he sensed something different.

He shouldn't have died of old age here.

Even if he still has a few years left to live.

The arrival of the white curtain made him make a firm decision.

"Old man, I think it would be better for you to stay here."

The starting point has a significant impact on the source of dreams. Shan Qifeng is in Tianshan Village, the starting point, and looks like he'll live a long time to come.

If he were to fall ill immediately after leaving the starting point, the hunters and martial artists in the village would likely hunt him down.

“What am I doing here? I shouldn’t be here.” Shan Qifeng shook his head: “We’ll talk about the rest on the way. Let’s go to the Ten Thousand Mountains.”

Bai Mu stopped in his tracks: "Then you should at least tell me what you're going to do."

The old man Shan Qifeng was behaving very strangely, while Bai Mu seemed much more cautious.

"While I still have time, let's have a good fight... my fellow human beings."

After Shan Qifeng finished speaking, he walked into the deep mountains, and Bai Mu grabbed the weapon box and followed him.

Shan Qifeng walked very fast, as if he could shrink the distance between people, and could cross more than ten meters in one step.

Bai Mu doesn't have that kind of skill, but he can keep up with it simply by relying on his physical abilities.

After leaving Tianshan Village, Shan Qifeng's speed gradually slowed down, and he returned to a normal walking posture.

However, as time went on, Bai Mu sensed an abnormal dream erosion from Shan Qifeng.

This type of dream erosion is similar to those harmful dream erosions, but it did not cause any harm to Shan Qifeng.

Shan Qifeng seemed unaware of Meng Shi's presence. A roar erupted, and a ferocious beast from the deep mountains appeared.

The beast ignored the white curtain and charged at Shan Qifeng, only to be killed by Shan Qifeng with a single punch.

Bai Mu's lips twitched slightly. He could also kill such a ferocious beast instantly, but Shan Qifeng's effortless and casual killing of the beast didn't seem like that of an old man nearing his grave.

As the continuous commotion began, White Curtain used the Dream-Eroding Imperial Arm to detect the distance and saw that the nearby beasts had all been attracted there.

Shan Qifeng seemed to have anticipated this situation and said slowly, "You and I are both extraterrestrial demons. I shouldn't stay in Tianshan Village, and you shouldn't stay there either. As long as you don't go to that place, you can go wherever you want."

White Curtain used the Dream-Eater Imperial Arm to observe Mountain Kaifu, but the effect of the penetrating vision was almost non-existent. The opponent was surrounded by a layer of mist that seemed to encircle the mountain peak, greatly weakening the effect of the Dream-Eater Imperial Arm.

"Who would define themselves as a demon? I'm just a passerby, you..."

Shan Qifeng shook his head and pointed to the sky: "Whether someone is human or demon is not up to us to decide, but up to the heavens. That's why I've never dared to live too long, lest I become a demon..."

Shan Qifeng's aura gradually grew stronger, and his aged appearance began to regain its youthfulness; he had broken through.

"O passerby who came because of me, could you tell me where you came from?"

A heavy pressure was applied to the white curtain, and the distant roars of beasts became suppressed.

Bai Mu took a combination knife directly from the weapon case, his eyes turning gold: "Fine, as long as you can accept it."

The pressure Shan Qifeng put on him was considerable, but more importantly, the other party's attitude made Bai Mu realize that the other party might have misunderstood something.

Shan Qifeng, now reverting to his middle-aged appearance, smiled and said, "Then we can talk about it on the way."

He continued to 'walk' into the deep mountains. Perhaps because he had just broken through, his power was somewhat unstable. Trees and rocks were crushed into powder wherever he passed. The majestic momentum of the continuous mountains firmly locked onto the white curtain.

At the Dream Graveyard, the guards who had not yet left stared in astonishment at the Dream Source.

This old thing was clearly on the verge of death, but suddenly he regained his youth? This means that the source of the dream has also undergone corresponding changes in the dream.

"What's going on? Could it be him?" The guards here thought of Bai Mu.

"I don't know, everyone be careful and keep your distance." Another guard shook his head.

Fortunately, the relevant work has been completed, and the Dream Sources near Shan Qifeng have all been moved away, so the sudden changes will not catch them off guard.

If the source of strange dreams undergoes abnormal changes, it is mostly not a good thing!

"A strange dream? Reality? Did it come through my body that I left in reality?" Shan Qifeng, who was walking ahead, frowned in thought.

After a while, he asked Bai Mu, "So, do you think this is a dream?"

Bai Mu shook his head: "Strange dream is just a term. If we're talking about a dream, then it should be your dream."

"I know what's going on." Shan Qifeng nodded. Bai Mu's explanation of the strange dreams was not hard to understand, and Bai Mu had also shown him pictures of other strange dreams.

He understands photography because the world has methods for preserving memories.

Shan Qifeng released the lock on the white curtain, and as time went by, he gradually came under control of the power he had just gained after his breakthrough.

However, the dreamlike aura emanating from him was even stronger.

Shan Qifeng continued, "You are a passerby who came because of me, but I am still the 'Extraterrestrial Demon'."

When I was young, I thought I was exceptionally talented. As long as I was in Tianshan Village, no, in places far away from Tianshan Village, everything I did went smoothly.

But as time went on, I was limited to staying within Tianshan Village. Leaving Tianshan Village felt like becoming a grain of sand in the eyes of Heaven, unacceptable to anyone.

Shan Qifeng looked up at the sky. He had never understood this before, and he didn't know why it was like this. But as he was dying, he began to understand.

Now that Bai Mu, this passerby, has brought new information, Shan Qifeng fully understands what's going on.

Calling oneself an extraterrestrial demon might not be entirely accurate, but it's not far off.

According to Bai Mu, he has a body in another world, and people from that world can come to this world through his body.

Now that the white curtain has arrived, what kind of beings will come in the future?
He is not only an 'extraterrestrial demon', but also an extraterrestrial demon that connects two realms, allowing the other realm to unilaterally invade this place.

Therefore, it's normal that Heaven couldn't tolerate him.

He's lived long enough, over two hundred years; it's time for him to die.

He couldn't be sure whether Tianshan Village would be affected if he continued to live until that 'starting point' disappeared.

So if he died before that starting point disappeared, then there wouldn't be a problem, right...?

As long as he dies quickly enough, Heaven won't be able to define him as an 'extraterrestrial demon'!
