Dream Travel

Chapter 534 Your days are numbered!
Bai Mu lowered the scope and pondered some things. Although Sun Wukong was the focus, there were still some things that couldn't be done.

The question is how to maximize influence while doing those things.

"What are you thinking about?" Luxembla asked Bai Mu with extreme vigilance.

At this moment, he actually hoped that Bai Mu would summon a few more phantoms to give this guy a proper talking-to.

Even if the White Curtain summons those Awakened Ones and they continue to be Undead Knights, it's better than thinking about it now.

"I don't know how powerful the monsters in this world are, so I want to find a few powerful monsters to test my skills."

"That's it?" Lexenberg breathed a sigh of relief. He thought Bai Mu wanted to find a master to practice on.

"Of course, that's it. What do you think I want to do?"

Lexenberg asked uncertainly, "For example, kill a few people?"

“Your thoughts are dangerous.” Bai Mu acted immediately, searching the Five Mountains. However, the area was a desolate wilderness, and apart from some traveling merchants, there were no monsters at all.

At least he didn't encounter it.

"Young man over there, wait a minute!" A bald man strode over, looking at the white curtain with a surprised expression.

"Young man, I see that your forehead is dark and you are surrounded by bad luck. Evil spirits are always with you. This is a sign that death is entering your life. I'm afraid you don't have long to live!"

Bai Mu pulled a combination knife from the weapon case, which burst into flames with a whoosh: "So, what about now?"

The bald old man looked at the approaching combination of swords and nodded knowingly: "Bad luck will avoid you. Young hero, I see you have a distinguished bearing, and you're so sharp at such a young age. How about coming with me to catch a demon? A beautiful female demon, by the way!"

"No, goodbye."

Bai Mu didn't want to get entangled with the old man any further. What demon-catching? He didn't even know where the demons were.
He just didn't want to deal with the demons over there for the time being, mainly because he didn't know how strong he was in this alternate dream world.

At least in Hellish Dreams, there are demons for him to try.

There aren't many references in this world, and he wasn't invincible at the beginning.

Now an old man is clearly trying to trick him into planning something with ill intentions, and of course he disagrees.

The white curtain moved very quickly, not giving the other party a chance to speak.

Watching the white curtain disappear in the blink of an eye, the old man sighed: "Alas... Tang Sanzang is about to be born, and there are people of unknown origin. Variables, variables indeed."

After finishing his sentence, the old man hurried toward the mountain stronghold.

As for the white curtain he encountered, the old man had already secretly checked it with the demon-revealing mirror he carried with him, and it turned out to be a person.

Although it is plagued by bad luck and evil spirits, the white curtain itself has the advantage of being full of yang energy, which eliminates the disadvantages.

"What is that old man? He's holding a weird mirror and looking at you."

After the white curtain receded into the distance, Lexenberg appeared.

"I guess he's some kind of immortal?" Bai Mu opened the weapon case, looked at the various items inside, made some adjustments, then closed the weapon case again and walked towards the mountain stronghold.

Who else but Patriarch Bodhi could be the old man who would appear at Mount Wuyue at this time?

Bai Mu completely ignored the other party's concerns about being plagued by bad luck and being constantly accompanied by evil spirits.

He himself doesn't even understand his own situation?
The weapon crate contained a huge number of souls, but very few of them were normal.

Demons, Awakened Ones—which is the good thing?

These things could be ignored, but Bai Mu was quite concerned about what Bodhi Patriarch said about his impending death.

That statement could be a lie used to deceive him, or it could be true.

Now, you either turn around and leave Wuyue Mountain, find a place to stay quietly for a few days, and then wait to be kicked out of the Otherworld.

Alternatively, you could take the initiative and try to contact the Dream Source.

In the dream world, other places may be unreliable, but at the beginning, the dream source is relatively reliable.

Both share the same Dream Erosion origin, and the Different Dream Source possesses a unique 'initial cognitive filter' for outsiders. As long as this filter isn't directly broken, or if they encounter a being like Shan Qifeng who has reached the end of his life, this cognitive filter remains quite effective.

He didn't come to the Dream World as a tourist. Each Dream World only has one first-time opportunity, and once it's missed, it's gone.

Rather than leaving empty-handed, White Curtain wanted to secure more resources from the Mist.

Once you miss the first chance, even if you can try again or again, you'll miss out on the first-clear reward.

What if, just what if, he acquired a large amount of Dream Mist in this Dream World, and then the mist condensed into the Moonlight Box for him?
The original Moonlight Box can travel through time and space, so wouldn't the Moonlight Box in the Dream Eclipse version be able to take off directly?
I won't be satisfied until I make a final push and get back to Bai Mu safely.

He found the Bodhi Patriarch and slapped him on the shoulder.

Bodhi Patriarch, who was pondering how to contact the Axe Gang leader, shuddered, turned around, and his expression immediately turned bitter: "Didn't you say goodbye?"

“I’ve changed my mind. I have relatives here, and I plan to come and visit them.”

"Really? What a coincidence!" Patriarch Bodhi looked completely incredulous.

"Of course it's true! Look over there, that's my relative!"

“Your relative is quite a handsome man.” Bodhi Patriarch looked in the direction the white curtain was pointing and saw a man whose hair looked as if it had been struck by lightning, resembling a golden lion king.

Lei Tianba, a nineteen-year-old youth who becomes the source of the alternate dream in reality, is already a thirty-something-year-old adult in the alternate dream.

Beneath his flamboyant hairstyle, one can vaguely see features from his youth, but at this moment, his face is more grotesque and muscular, making him look like a typical bandit.

"Right, let's go say hello."

“That won’t do. There are still two monsters over there. You can go directly there, but if I go, something bad will happen to me.” Patriarch Bodhi shook his head vigorously.

He came all this way just to clean up the mess, but don't ask how the mess came about.

"Monster, how do I compare to you?"

Upon hearing this, Patriarch Bodhi carefully examined the white curtain for a moment, then shook his head: "Your women's clothing is not as beautiful as hers."

Bai Mu grabbed the old man's beard: "I'm talking about the fight."

"Well... even a hero can't fight four hands, and a good person shouldn't fight a demon. I advise you to think it over."

Bai Mu stared at the old man. Although Bodhi Patriarch was giving advice, he felt that the old man was indirectly cursing him.
"Never mind, let's go first. I have something to ask you later."

Bodhi Patriarch asked Bai Mu with a troubled expression, "Uh, you don't mean to ask me for money, do you?"

Bai Mu pulled out a gold bar and threw it in his face: "Take your money and now answer my question!"

Bodhi Patriarch grabbed the gold bar on his face, took a bite to verify its authenticity, and then revealed a chrysanthemum-like smile.

"You should have said you were borrowing money. To be honest, I know a lot about everything from astronomy to geography. While I can't say I know everything, I definitely know things that most people don't! Do you want me to tell your fortune?"

"No need." Bai Mu put down the weapon case, patted it, and opened a portal for releasing souls through the demonic runes.

"I have quite a few souls waiting to be reincarnated, but I don't know how to get them. Can you recommend one?"

Bodhi Patriarch looked at Bai Mu's weapon case, did some calculations with his fingers, then hissed and stared at Bai Mu with a face full of shock, as if he were looking at some kind of peerless demon.

He carefully wiped away the teeth marks on the gold bar, trying to erase them, and smiled at Bai Mu: "You dropped your money..."

Bai Mu took out a second gold bar. Bodhi Patriarch looked conflicted. When Bai Mu took out a third gold bar, he snatched both gold bars away.

"Heaven cherishes life. Young hero, your wish to help these wandering ghosts is a great act of merit, and I will help you! But right now, we must save the living first; the dead can wait."

That's it.

Bai Mu hoisted the weapon case back onto his back. The souls of the fallen ones inside were gone, but there were still quite a few souls of the pure ones.

The souls of the pure are good people when they are alive. These people are unlucky enough to die after encountering the devil, so he cannot let them be even more unlucky.
