Dream Travel

Chapter 480 What He Gave

"Tomorrow is a pure land, and all living beings in the world are just dust in their eyes."

Shan Qifeng recounted some events related to the Mingjing Sect.

"And what about themselves?"

"They don't count."

"What a double standard."

Shan Qifeng chuckled: "The people of the Mingjing Sect mainly cultivate the Wuchen Divine Skill, which can help them develop an immaculate body."

Bai Mu nodded: "That sounds pretty good."

"Hmph, Immaculate Body? They're using people to refine elixirs!" Shan Qifeng sneered. The Immaculate Divine Art might be a good technique, but if the people using it are bad, that's another matter.

The body of the Immaculate One is pure, but while being pure, it is also sufficiently pure during the process of being refined into a great medicine.

"Is nobody going to do anything about this?"

The white curtain clicked its tongue in amazement.

"Yes, but the Mingjing Sect is powerful and has many connections. Everyone wants to become stronger; there are too many people in the world seeking breakthroughs."

Shan Qifeng shook his head. Too many people seek breakthroughs but fail, and the Mingjing Sect is targeting these very people.

Some people with strong willpower may scoff at the allure of the Mingjing sect, but as the number of people increases, some will inevitably be drawn in.

After experiencing the immense terror of near-death experiences, one's will either become stronger or begin to weaken.

"Tsk tsk, a chain of interests, you've really picked a good target."

Bai Mu clicked his tongue twice. Even if Shan Qifeng couldn't cripple the Mingjing Sect, having created such a troublesome situation, after Shan Qifeng's death, if Bai Mu lied about the Dream Source and returned here, he would face pressure from many forces...

They are about to offend more than just the Mingjing sect.

"What level have you reached in your Thousand Mountains cultivation technique?"

"Three floors."

"..." Shan Qifeng's eyes twitched slightly. With his personal guidance, Bai Mu was only able to push Qian Shan to the third level with his superb physical strength... This was hard to explain!

If it weren't for the fact that there were many people in Tianshan Village who had achieved great things through cultivating thousands of mountains, he would have doubted whether he was suitable to be a master.

Only after reaching the sixth level of the Thousand Mountains can one release their inner energy; the first five levels of the Thousand Mountains are more for strengthening the body.

"I don't feel much of a difference." Bai Mu waved his hand. As for the release of external qi, what Bai Mu felt most was still his own demonic energy.

Shan Qifeng believed that the demonic energy was a source of alienation, and that calling it demonic energy was inappropriate; there were real demons in this world.

If his power belongs to a demon, then what about the power wielded by a true demon?
Therefore, that power will not cause any conflict when Bai Mu practices other techniques.

Bai Mu's foundation was too strong. The first five levels of Qian Shan offered him virtually no improvement; at most, they only allowed him to step into the threshold of Qi Refining.

Only after truly mastering the Qi can he achieve substantial enhancement.

Just like now, Bai Mu's Thousand Mountains Technique has reached the third level, but Shan Qifeng has not sensed that Bai Mu has become much stronger.

Can it improve by one percent on the existing basis? The Thousand Mountains technique he is currently practicing has basically no improvement; at most, it can only improve and enhance the individual's foundation.

If he could train Thousand Mountains to the level of Ten Layers of Thousand Mountains, then Bai Mu's current combat power would increase by at least several times.

Unfortunately, they didn't have the time.

Shan Qifeng's initial plan was to help Bai Mu cultivate Qian Shan to the sixth level, and given his physical abilities, achieving this level was not difficult.

As for what happens next, that depends on Bai Mu's own abilities.

So this guy only reached halfway?
No, this half is less than one-tenth of the overall progress.

"Releasing your inner energy outwards, do you think this counts?"

Bai Mu raised his hand, and the air around him distorted slightly.

Shan Qifeng's eyes twitched slightly: "You forcibly released your mutated life force combined with your internal energy?! Are you out of your mind?"

Once a certain level is reached, Qi becomes more like 'internal force', which can only be effective within the body. Even so, Qi can still play a role when used in an attack.

However, before releasing one's inner energy, one cannot completely ignore the damage from swords and blades.

Bai Mu's current approach can be considered a form of releasing external Qi, but at a great cost.

His inner energy is now like a lighter; it can ignite a flame and illuminate a house, but it can't be projected outwards like a flamethrower.

To inflict serious injury with fire, he would need to use this wisp of flame to dismantle the flammable parts of the house, ignite them, and then use the resulting flames to injure his enemy.

It's certainly useful, but killing the enemy and burning down the house is putting the cart before the horse.
The protective aura that Bai Mu is currently releasing is just like this: using a small amount of protective aura as a guide, and then using his own life force as fuel to achieve the release.

In terms of quality, it is also weaker than a fully mastered Qi Refining Technique.

In addition, the mutated source of the white curtain has a violent feel, which changes the flavor of his outward 'qi'.

It's no longer the immovable mountain and the surging waves that the Thousand Mountains Gang Qi manifested; the white curtain is a mountain collapse!

Shan Qifeng could hardly bear to look at it. Since the Thousand Mountains Technique was for cultivating internal energy, it didn't have much to do with the kind of health-preserving power that true qi possessed.

Although his Thousand Mountains Qi is fierce, it is also stable enough. Once mastered, it can not only be used for fighting, but also ensure that the practitioner lives to a healthy age.

At least it won't be like other cultivation techniques, where, although powerful, it's difficult to live to the maximum lifespan of that level.

Even if one breaks through to a higher level when nearing death, it's impossible to restore an aging and decaying body to its peak condition as quickly as he did.

Although the cost of recovery is reduced in lifespan after the breakthrough, other Qi Refining experts are still not as good as him after the breakthrough.

Bai Mu is indeed acting fiercely and violently now, but he has lost all of Qian Shan's composure.

If he possesses this type of Thousand Mountains technique, when he breaks through to the tenth level, it will truly be a cataclysmic event, the breakthrough will be incredibly fierce and terrifying, and after the breakthrough, he will be gone.

However, Shan Qifeng did not appear angry. Bai Mu was not his disciple, but an extraterrestrial demon of unknown origin.

They're all extraterrestrial demons now. The righteous Thousand Mountains Technique has been turned into such a demonic art. Why should he be angry?
I just laughed in anger.

"My constitution is different from ordinary people, so this amount of energy consumption can be consumed in two meals."

"...Is that so?" Shan Qifeng was stunned: "Then you are truly the most ideal furnace for the Mingjing Sect."

"Old man, you wouldn't happen to be a member of the Mingjing Cult, would you?"

"I have a grudge against them." Shan Qifeng snorted: "One of my grandsons was kidnapped by the Mingjing Sect and his fate is unknown."

"Is that so?" Bai Mu thought of a ridiculous scenario and asked Shan Qifeng, "I'm just hypothesizing, hypothesizing that while we were dealing with the Mingjing Sect, you ran into your grandson over there..."

Shan Qifeng glanced at Bai Mu and said succinctly, "Kill them. If I can't spare the time, then do it. Don't let them live. The Mingjing Sect has corrupted my grandson, and they deserve to die even more!"

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's get started, I'm afraid something might happen if we wait any longer."

Shan Qifeng scoffed, "We're already this far, what could possibly go wrong... Let's hurry up and leave."

Do you need weapons?

Shan Qifeng glanced at the weapon box in the white curtain: "After the fight starts, you may not be able to get the weapons back. Besides, I really need weapons. The Mingjing Sect doesn't have them everywhere."

"And you can leave on your own after I die. The affairs of the Mingjing Sect have nothing to do with you."

"Row."

If it weren't for the fact that outsiders' souls would be directly destroyed by dream erosion after they die in the dream world, Bai Mu would really want to ask Shan Qi to seal them in a box.

"..."

The headquarters of the Mingjing Sect is located on a mountain, which has a more sacred feel compared to the desolate mountain where the zombie king appeared.

Bai Mu doesn't understand feng shui, but that doesn't stop him from taking pictures with his camera.

"Take a couple of pictures of me too." Shan Qifeng stood in front of the Mingjing Sect headquarters and asked Bai Mu to take his picture.

The Mingjing sect has already taken notice of them.

The guard strode towards them, but before he could even shout angrily, Shan Qifeng raised his hand and lightly swung his hammer behind him, causing the guard who was walking towards them with his weapon to explode into a cloud of blood mist.

The white screen captured this scene. Although it's true that only real men look back at explosions, this scene was still very powerful.

This old man had been hiding a lot of his strength.

“Not bad… Let’s kill them!” Shan Qifeng glanced at the photos taken by Bai Mu, nodded, and took the lead towards the mountain gate of the Mingjing Sect.

An attack? Not a chance. He's prepared to face death head-on!

Bai Mu wasn't in such a hurry. He enchanted his Dream Eclipse Imperial Arm and equipped it before taking the weapon out of the weapon box.

"What the hell is that old geezer?" Lexenberg's voice rang out. "How long have you been here?"

This demon felt he had missed out on a lot.

"Not long after, what do you think of this place?" Bai Mu used the Dream-Eroding Imperial Arm to look at the guards rushing up. These guards were filled with murderous intent, but he couldn't tell whether they were good or bad.

Others have already stormed the mountain gate, yet the guards are still able to calmly reason with them?
"Hahaha, very good, I like it here!" Lexenberg laughed loudly. The demon's unique negative perception made him feel the 'wonder' of this place even before he entered the mountain gate.

"That's it!"

The combination blades in Bai Mu's hand burst into flames. If Lexenbra disliked this place, Bai Mu would consider backstabbing him or stopping Shan Qifeng and fighting him one-on-one.

It's not like he hasn't killed Yimengyuan before.

If Klexenberg really likes it here, then there's no need to hesitate.

Is the place that demons like something that humans can like?

boom--

The mountain gate of the Mingjing Sect was blasted open by Shan Qifeng's punch, and the nearby guards were killed by the surging, mountain-like qi.

Shan Qifeng stormed into the Mingjing Sect headquarters, killing everyone he saw. The Mingjing Sect did a good job of putting on a show, but Shan Qifeng knew what kind of people were here.

The guards couldn't stop Shan Qifeng, nor could the disciples of the Mingjing Sect.

The white curtain followed behind, the weapon crates came into play, and the souls of the Mingjing Sect disciples and guards who had been killed were... stolen!?
The unexpected situation surprised Bai Mu slightly.

How can this sect be so wicked! Stealing souls from Hell is one thing, but this sect does it too?!
Without further hesitation, Bai Mu followed directly up the mountain to unseal the gate.

Lexenberg continued pointing and gossiping about the Qingjing sect members on the way. "These people are like pure souls being deliberately cultivated by the devil, allowing highly pure souls to grow, leaving loopholes in their growth process."

When the need arises, those pure souls can be allowed to fall into depravity, ultimately becoming the most delicious food in the devil's mouth.

Lexenberg was still savoring what he was saying. His main body was a fragment, not his original body, but his original body had done this, and even cultivating the Holy Spirit could be considered this kind of behavior.

The Holy Spirit took a different path, but the essence of the body still tasted the flavor of a highly pure soul after its fall.

The people of the Mingjing sect are similar; they try to appear pure and spotless, which seems like a good thing, but in reality, becoming pure only makes them more palatable...

"So you're saying they're clean but not dustproof, right?" Bai Mu understood what was going on.

He's not unfamiliar with novel settings, so understanding the current situation isn't difficult for him.

Although the people of the Mingjing sect are pure and immaculate with flawless bodies, such bodies have flaws.

Their pristine purity makes them less susceptible to external influences, but if someone exploits their weaknesses, they become defenseless.

Before taking action, Shan Qifeng also said that the people of the Mingjing Sect were a powerful medicine...

As for the evidence, the fact that the White Curtain's weapon case failed to extract their souls confirms the problem.

The people of the Mingjing Sect directly withstood the soul extraction through their immaculate bodies. The white curtain is understandable, but it wasn't that they withstood it; rather, it was intercepted by someone else.

Shan Qifeng's invasion was quickly contained, as this was, after all, the headquarters of the Mingjing Sect and the place with the most main force.

A swift figure rushed towards the white curtain, only to be blocked by the white curtain's combination of swords. The opponent's hands were like white jade, and he blocked the hellfire with his bare hands, which looked very fierce.

But before long, he screamed in agony as the hellfire scorched him.

Even so, the opponent still held on tightly to the combination knife. Seeing how tenacious he was, Bai Mu drew the short knife from the combination knife and sent him away with one strike.

The opponent's soul was captured by the weapon box, but the soul was very tenacious and resisted the weapon box's suction.

"Huh?" Bai Mu looked surprised. He was quite astonished that the soul had not been directly extracted.

Are there exceptions after all?
Lexenberg emerged from the Dream-Eater Imperial Arms, laughing maniacally, and the Shadow Vortex drew the stubbornly resisting soul into the weapon case.

Resistance indicates that the soul is of high quality, but if it doesn't escape immediately, then it can forget about escaping.

Shan Qifeng glanced at Lexenbula, snorted, and continued his attack.

The Mingjing Sect headquarters was in an uproar. The experts reacted quickly; they could keep an eye on Bai Mu, but they didn't have much time to pay attention to what Bai Mu was doing.

His ruthless and powerful attacks are what attract the most skilled fighters.

As for Bai Mu, he's slacking off a bit right now, but he won't have a chance to slack off later.

The burning hellfire raged, and Bai Mu swung his sword to create a ring of fire, summoning the newly captured souls.

The Mingjing Sect disciple who had just been killed was still somewhat confused.

Tell me the truth about the Mingjing Sect.

"Ah..." The disciples of the Mingjing Sect showed expressions of resistance: "Tomorrow's Pure Land..."

"Deeper."

"..." He resisted remaining silent.

Bai Mu couldn't help but smile: "Look at him, he's much more resilient than you."

"Hmph, just a characteristic of a pure soul." Luxembla snorted. Because of its purity, such a soul is difficult to be affected by external factors as long as it is properly protected.

After all, purity can resist impurities before it is compromised, but once compromised, purity also means that it is particularly easy to be contaminated, both good and bad.

This disciple of the Mingjing Sect had his soul completely taken away; his soul was not yet corrupted and remained pure, which means that his abnormal influence on others still exists.

Even though this phantom was formed using the spiritual power of the white curtain, its core is still the soul within the weapon case.

"He can't hold on for long."

"Hmm... are the disciples of your Mingjing Sect the Great Medicine?"

The white curtain changed the question.

The Mingjing Sect disciple's expression of struggle deepened, and he said, "I... I'm not, not even an inner disciple..."

He didn't answer directly, but the information he revealed was enough.

"Okay, you can start eating too. Let me see how you guys eat."

The disciples of the Mingjing Sect struggled as they rushed out of the ring of hellfire, grabbed several ordinary disciples, and in their terror, seized them and instantly refined them.

During this process, the ordinary disciples had virtually no chance to resist. Judging from their terrified expressions, they had no idea that the Mingjing Sect even existed.

After doing this, the inner disciples of the Mingjing Sect began to let themselves go.

"Hahaha, see? Even with a pure soul, it's useless if your will can't keep up!"

Luxembla laughed mockingly; his true form had seen far more souls than he had ever seen.

Sometimes, a pure soul is not as good as an ordinary soul.

The difference lies in the fact that a pure soul has higher value and is more desirable, while an ordinary soul, if paired with a tenacious will, is nothing more than a stone in a latrine.

A pure soul is like a precious gem; it is valuable but not necessarily strong.

On Shan Qifeng's side, after exchanging a few blows with several experts, he took the opportunity to retreat to Bai Mu's side: "You want to learn the Dustless Divine Skill?"

"Not interested." Bai Mu glanced at the experts chasing after him. Their auras were powerful, and the moment they locked onto him, Bai Mu immediately released his demonic energy.

“You deal with them, I’ll deal with their leader.”

Shan Qifeng retreated behind Bai Mu and handed over the experts to Bai Mu.

"Row."

Bai Mu was not afraid of the pressure from those experts; compared to other Mingjing Sect disciples, they were even more 'pure'.

When I practiced my exercises, my body felt somewhat transparent.

Bai Mu swung his sword, unleashing a burst of hellfire, and the experts charged forward, braving the flames.

"You little thief! Who gave you the audacity to trespass on the Mingjing Sect?" The expert who rushed to Bai Mu's side grabbed his combination swords, but quickly let go and moved away from Bai Mu.

He could withstand the damage from the hellfire with his immaculate body, but his true energy was consumed too quickly when he resisted, and the flames were very abnormal.

“Him.” Bai Mu glanced at Shan Qifeng, who at this moment resembled a tiger entering a flock of sheep.

Each strike can cause massive destruction; the Thousand Mountains Qi is extremely powerful in terms of destruction.

The Mingjing Sect's mountain gate is no longer visible; the area ravaged by the mountain's seal has been completely destroyed.

The sight of this deeply saddened the major protectors of the Mingjing Sect.

The mountain gate can be rebuilt if it's damaged, but if the disciples at headquarters are damaged, they have to be trained all over again.

The disciples who can be here at headquarters are all carefully selected. They are not only great medicines, but also the foundation of a blessed land!

These disciples are the backbone of the Mingjing Sect and will not be easily wasted. When they cultivate the Dustless Divine Skill, they generate Dustless Qi that fills the mountain gate.

Ordinary disciples and inner disciples who cultivate the Dustless Divine Skill cannot come into contact with the Dustless Qi, and therefore cannot enjoy it.

The Mingjing Sect actually cultivates and consumes other people who are the true culprits, and the Mingjing Sect has always done a very good job of keeping it secret.

After all, the common impression of an immaculate body is that it is impervious to all attacks.

But these disciples are now being slaughtered by people of unknown origin...

"Take him down first." The guards immediately made the decision.

Bai Mu was even more abnormal than Shan Qifeng. They saw the inner disciple who was killed by Bai Mu and then controlled by 'demonic arts'.

There aren't many demonic arts that can ignore the Immaculate Body, so the fact that Bai Mu can do it means that he has something unique about him.

However, if they cannot take down the White Curtain normally, they will not hold back.

Faced with the onslaught of the Mingjing Sect's major protectors, Bai Mu summoned other awakened beings, released Lahua Na's body, and directly summoned her phantom into this body.

The body of the semi-awakened one was modified by Atris with demon blood, and Lafayette was very uncomfortable when she tried this body.

However, as White Curtain went to other Dream activities, giving her ample time to adapt, Raphael can now quickly enter combat mode when summoned.

She immediately unleashed her demonic energy, and the power of the demon erupted as her demonic energy was released, causing her awakened form to resemble that of a demon.

As for the other awakened ones, even with the enhancement of the White Curtain, they were not enough to deal with these major protectors, so they were tasked with purging the ordinary disciples of the Brightness Sect.

The only ones who could truly help White Curtain share the burden were those few Awakened Ones who were once Abyss People, but apart from Lafayette, the other Awakened Ones did not perform well at this time.

"What kind of demonic art is this... no, isn't it a demonic artifact?"

One of the guardians who was fighting with Bai Mu looked at Bai Mu's weapon case and slapped the case with his 'jade hand'.

Regardless, it's definitely the right thing to do is to take this thing down first.

But as soon as he touched the weapon box in the white curtain, blinding lightning flashed, and the intense lightning strike made his whole body feel numb.

However, the immaculate body he had cultivated with the Dustless Divine Skill allowed him to quickly regain his mobility.

However, Bai Mu was faster. The instant he was paralyzed, his combination swords sprang out armor-piercing spikes, and the other guardian who tried to help was entangled in the arm by the tentacles released by Livlu.

Although he managed to break free of those tentacles immediately, it also caused the guardian to miss the opportunity to help.

The white-clad combination blades struck the arm of the protector in front of him, producing a metallic clang, but the armor-piercing spikes pierced his chest.

His immaculate body was shattered, and raging hellfire erupted from his wounds, causing the severely injured guardian to scream in agony.

The cracks that appeared on the porcelain surface where the hellfire had burned them were now visible.

When the Immaculate Body is intact, it appears very powerful. However, once it is broken, the flaws are immediately magnified. The body, which could originally withstand Hellfire, becomes fragile under the White Curtain's attack.

Bai Mu kicked the protector away, and the seriously injured protector struggled on the ground, unable to extinguish the hellfire.

The other guardians wanted to go and provide assistance, but they were unable to shake off the phantoms summoned by the white curtain. The phantoms were fearless of death and fought with exceptional ferocity.

Unable to get any help, the Dharma protector set his sights on other disciples. He was on the verge of death and didn't have time to consider whether or not to leak secrets.
