Forge your destiny into a sword, slash your soul and ascend to immortality

Chapter 244 The Kingdom of the Dreamers

Jing Qian's [Sumeru] destiny is among the best of the many [destinies] of the Great Dao of Space, making it extremely rare.

Later, through his painstaking cultivation, the [Sumeru] dimension that evolved within it became even more profound, gradually forming a magnificent and imposing framework.

In fact, even he himself did not know what kind of realm he would eventually evolve into if he continued to evolve and pour resources into it.

At the very least, standing at this moment, he still cannot see the end of the road ahead.

It is precisely this powerful [Sumeru] that is worthy of supporting Jingqian's foundation of cultivation.

【Sumeru】encompasses everything, bears everything, and evolves everything!
This also successfully made Jing Qian's magical power a thousand times or even ten thousand times greater than that of his peers from the moment he embarked on the path of cultivation. Even if someone's cultivation level was two or three levels higher than his, they would still find it difficult to contend with him.

Jing Qian was extremely confident in his own spiritual practice!

But before this, even such a powerful [Sumeru] destiny was not worthy of being accepted by the [Imagination Society]!

The power of [Sumeru] is still missing a crucial link, failing to catch the eye of the top-level organizations.

It wasn't until Jing Qian used the [Sumeru Great Dao Stele] to absorb the Great Dao authority within hundreds of [titles] and bestowed it all upon the [Sumeru Zhou Tian Wan Xiang Xu Kong Da Jun] that a miracle occurred, forcibly elevating him to the [honorable title] of [Sumeru Great Ruins Emperor].

It was only then that the divine will of the [Imagination Society] finally captured it, and a wondrous Daoist essence was bestowed upon it.

At this very moment, within this [Yanfu Nursery], Jing Qian attempted to integrate this wisp of Daoist essence with his own divine sense.

He felt that his divine thought had transformed into a spark of inspiration, and began to extend and fall infinitely into the depths of his consciousness.

He pierced through the present world, crossed the "sea of ​​spirit, life, emptiness and emptiness," sank into the "sea of ​​the minds of all beings," and continued to sink.

Even when faced with the boundless and terrifying Abyss, it passed by quietly without causing a ripple.

Jing Qian had only just grasped the knowledge about the [Great Abyss], and felt that the cage that imprisoned him was impossible to break free of in a short time.

But who would have thought that in the next instant, he would use the supernatural power of the [Imagination Society] to reach a realm beyond the [Great Abyss]!

His divine sense reached the deepest depths of consciousness, even deeper than the realm that the Great Abyss could reach!
This "Daydreaming Society," through the evolution of the power of consciousness, lacks substance. Even though the "Great Abyss" is all-encompassing, it can still erode the power of consciousness and the power of the mind.

However, the power of the [Imagination Society] is on par with that of the [Great Abyss], and its status is in no way inferior.

Its power bypassed the Great Abyss, easily retrieving the souls and thoughts of one or two people from it.

During this process, Jing Qian's divine power surged. Even the slightest thought seemed to manifest the full power of his true form.

Then, his divine consciousness avatar directly entered a magical place.

When he descended here, the figure that appeared was the ancient, profound, and abyss-like [Sage of Mount Sumeru].

As soon as he appeared, the sound of bells and chimes lingered in the air.

He knew everything about the origins and current state of the "Daydreaming Society".

Jing Qian then learned of the wonders of this secret place.

The so-called "Daydreaming Society" was established by two supreme beings.

One represents "nothingness," signifying absolute emptiness, annihilation, and the ultimate end of tranquility, the final destination of the dissolution of all things.

The first character represents "意" (meaning/intention), symbolizing boundless imagination, the source of the soul, and the starting point of creation; it is the boundless cradle where all things are nurtured.

These two great beings weave a network of rules that transcends the dimensions of the present world, together forming the foundation that supports the existence of the [Daydreaming Society].

This is the "Imaginary Ruins," a place constructed purely of the power of mind and will, detached from the cycle of matter and energy in the present world.

The "Daydreaming Society" is not a gathering in the real sense, but a miracle that exists in the deepest and most fundamental consciousness of all intelligent beings.

It connects endless worlds and boundless time and space, and according to the will of two great beings, selects seeds with potential to join the [Imagination Society], making angel round investments in them in order to obtain rich returns when it exits in the future.

Its selection mechanism is so stringent that it is unimaginable. Only true [Totem] seeds and [Great Ruins] seeds are qualified to glimpse its true form.

At this moment, Jing Qian already knew that he was able to be drawn into the [Imagination Society] precisely because of the [Honorary Title] [Emperor of the Great Ruins of Sumeru], which granted him the [Sumeru] dimension and the possibility of glimpsing the [Great Ruins] realm.

Therefore, he was regarded as a seed of the Great Ruins and joined the Fantasy Society.

As his first major benefit upon joining, Jing Qian obtained valuable information about the [Totem] and the [Great Ruins] from the messages he received.

This knowledge itself is an extremely valuable resource!

The so-called "Great Ruins" and "Totem" are two sides of the same coin, representing the highest level of existence!

These can be considered the two ultimate attainments at the end of the path of cultivation.

Among them, the so-called "Great Ruins" is the ultimate anchor point of the real universe and the foundation for the return of all things.

Essentially, it is the ultimate achievement of the dimensions of reality, matter, and energy; it is the ultimate form and final destination of "being."

In terms of form, it is a vast, boundless, perfectly structured, self-consistent, and eternal material universe entity.

It is the ultimate "foundation" formed after the laws of reality have been deduced, solidified, and carried to their extreme.

It is a container, content, and reality!

The Great Abyss where Jing Qian is located is not, in essence, the Totem mentioned by the Insect Mother, but a Great Ruins of equal status.

This "Great Ruins" level is undoubtedly the ultimate goal for Jing Qian's "Sumeru" dimension to continue evolving!

The so-called "totem," corresponding to the "Great Ruins," is the supreme symbol in the spiritual realm and the source of creation through the mind.

It is the ultimate achievement of non-material dimensions such as mind, will, information, and laws; it is the pure manifestation and absolute mastery of "intention," "Tao," and "Qi."

It is also a vast, complex, and self-circulating system of spiritual laws or a collection of concepts.

Just as the "nothingness" and "meaning" of the "Imagination Society" are merely the ultimate images and Daoist rhymes, which cannot be defined by tangible things.

However, as ultimate attainments, the Great Ruins and the Totem are not absolutely separate.

A powerful [Great Ruins] must contain a strong spiritual will that supports its existence, and the great laws within it are the soil that can give birth to [Totems].

For a powerful totem to manifest itself in a long-term or profound way and influence reality, it often needs to rely on or create a powerful material carrier or foundation. Its power itself can also profoundly influence the present world.

Like two sides of a coin, they together constitute the two supreme possibilities at the end of the path of cultivation.

Jing Qian's title of "Emperor of the Great Ruins of Sumeru" refers to the path to the top of the real-world dimension of the Great Ruins.

Upon joining the [Imagination Society], he suddenly obtained such a groundbreaking secret, which greatly boosted his morale and made him quite excited!

The Great Ruins and the Totem will undoubtedly be important guiding lights for his future cultivation.

Knowing in advance about such ultimate attainments has a profound impact on his spiritual practice.

The knowledge about the Great Ruins and the Totems is the most important part of the information given by the Fantasy Society.

Apart from these, the remaining information is only related to the [Daydreaming Society] itself.

When Jing Qian first arrived here, he made some adjustments and then walked leisurely into this [Imaginary Ruins].

This place is specifically designed for members of the [Imagination Society] to exchange information and share resources; it is one of the few hidden places in the void.

Those who can come here must be great geniuses who have been selected by the two great [totems].

Here, they will obtain some valuable resources that they cannot easily acquire within their own domain.

The angel investment offered by 【Kongxianghui】 to all geniuses is a unique platform.

Moreover, the barter transactions that everyone is conducting here, which span countless worlds, are being handled with free shipping by the two powerful figures, [Wu] and [Yi].

This is also an extremely important investment!
Jing Qian passed through a vast expanse of gray fog, gradually venturing deeper into this "Imaginary Ruins".

As he moved forward, he used his own consciousness to manipulate the illusions around him.

This "Imaginary Ruins" is a spiritual world formed by consciousness, and all the images within it are actually imagined by Jing Qian himself.

He imagines what this world is like, and that's how the world will appear before his eyes.

He imagines what the people he meets will be like, and that's what they will become.

He even imagined what he was like and what he could become.

In other words, he can switch the system UI at will, use different modes, and has no restrictions.

Everything is illusory, so why demand perfection?
As he walked, he transformed from the form of the "Sage of Mount Sumeru" into different appearances.

Goddess Egao, Lord Bai, Ren Chong...

Even the Mother Insect, the Old White Ox, the Heavenly Dragon Son...

He could transform into any person or animal he knew, regardless of species or gender. He could even directly transform into virtual images he had never actually seen!
He then transformed into the Great Sage, Nezha, Erlang Shen, Guanyin, Red Boy, and the Queen of the Women's Kingdom.

Then it turned into Pikachu, Agumon, and Orochimaru!

Even more, he can not only transform living things, but also inanimate objects!
He subsequently changed the names of Huawei MateXT, Tank 300, Type 055 destroyer, and Shenzhou V.

Jing Qian was having a blast!
As for the surrounding environment, it is not fixed at all and is changing almost all the time.

Of course, all his actions, though seemingly absurd, were actually his way of experiencing and exploring the wonders of the "Daydreaming Society."

This greatly helped him gradually understand the area.

This most wondrous place in all the heavens and myriad realms had already left an incredibly awesome impression on him.

Ultimately, he captured the imagery of the entire surrounding environment as it appeared when he first arrived at the "Hunzhou Sea Market".

His own image is that of the Great Sage, who wields the Ruyi Jingu Bang (a magical staff), wears a phoenix-winged purple-gold crown, and walks on lotus-silk cloud-walking shoes.

This appearance makes him feel very safe and inspires his boundless will to fight against heaven and earth!
Before him, what should have been a complete layout of twenty-four main stores had been reduced to only seven.

Currently, there are only seven members in front of us in the entire [Daydreaming Society].

Jing Qian was the eighth member of the "Imagination Society"!
At this very moment, all seven main shops in the city were wide open, waiting for Jing Qian to arrive.

This "Daydreaming Club" hasn't been this lively in a long time!

When a new member was born, all the old members heard the faint sound of the bell and came to witness the ceremony.

These seven seniors paid great attention to social etiquette and did not immediately surround Jing Qian, putting too much social pressure on him, nor did they form a small circle to exclude him.

They simply took photos in an orderly fashion, waiting for Jingqian to come forward and visit.

Jing Qian could not predict how he would appear in the eyes of others, just as he could not see through the true nature of others.

He acted as if he were just browsing an ordinary market and stepped into the first proper shop.

The layout here is simple, with only a row of shop counters. But inside the counters, there is not a person standing, but a peach tree laden with fruit.

At that moment, the peach tree was swaying and greeting Jing Qian, who had transformed into a monkey.

Jing Qian responded with a smile.

All of this was his own imagination, and he gradually began to accept the premise of this "Daydreaming Society".

On the other side, which he couldn't see through, the person standing opposite him also conjured up a completely new UI according to their own desires.

But in the fantasy opposite, Jing Qian was standing at the foot of a sacred mountain, climbing up the mountain step by step, bowing repeatedly, to devoutly worship him.

The protagonist of this fantasy has transformed into a supreme deity, high in the clouds, looking down upon the ants below.

He's got some pretty fancy tricks up his sleeve!
Jing Qian was new to the place and unfamiliar with its rules and regulations, so he didn't speak first.

The person opposite, however, knowing Jing Qian's predicament, spoke directly:
"I am a citizen of the Lord's Kingdom. Fellow believer, where do you come from?"

This great deity, who has manifested, originated from the [Great Ruins] realm, which is called [The Kingdom of the Lord]. Just by hearing that, one can know its background.

This must be a great god-king who comes from a divine lineage.

Jing Qian tried his best to capture the useful information in every word the other person said.

He then immediately replied:

"Greetings, fellow Daoist. I am from the Great Abyss. Have you heard of me?"

Jing Qian has absolutely no knowledge of the world outside of [Da Yuan], he's a complete country bumpkin.

He hoped that the other party's response would reveal more information!
As soon as he mentioned that he came from the Great Abyss, the peach tree opposite him suddenly shook its leaves.

For Jing Qian, this was the imagery of the other person making a surprised expression.

But then the peach tree spoke again:
"I never imagined that you, fellow Daoist, would come from that place where corpses were kept!"

“The area around your home is quite strange; it's a faction of its own and never interacts with other Great Ruins.”

"It is indeed rare for you, fellow Daoist, to have come here!"

"However, since you're here, you might as well make the best of it. Fellow Daoist, you've already had a great opportunity to join the [Imagination Society], and your strength is formidable."

"It's fate that we met, as I was the first one to greet you."

"Regarding this [Illusory Ruins], I will tell you everything I have to say, fellow Daoist."

Jing Qian then nodded and said:
"Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist!"

In his eyes, all he saw was a peach tree swaying in the wind.

Meanwhile, in Jingqian's opposing side, Jingqian's avatar is frantically kowtowing, begging for divine blessings, which is incredibly emotionally charged.

But then the peach tree said:

"Fellow Daoist is the eighth member of this [Imagination Society]."

"Before you, including me, there have been seven cultivators who were chosen by the two great beings to have their consciousness projected here."

"It has been going on for hundreds of thousands of years!"

"Currently, apart from me, who is ranked seventh, only the sixth brother occasionally comes to visit in person."

"The remaining five seniors rarely show their true forms; in most cases, they only send an angel as their attendant."

"And this situation is normal."

“Eighth Brother, you have just entered the realm and your cultivation is still low, so you naturally have endless expectations for the [Imagination Society].

"However, the top five seniors are far more powerful than you and me, and have already embarked on the path of forging their own [Totems]."

"And with their level of attainment, their dependence on external things has long been reduced to a minimum."

"Naturally, I have no time to come to this [Daydreaming Club] to play with you and me."

"We only come here to exchange information when something really big happens."

"Therefore, in this [Daydreaming Society], only you and I can be considered as contemporaries."

“I arrived more than two thousand years earlier than you, so I am somewhat familiar with this Utopian Society.”

"This place is buried deep in the abyss of consciousness, and I'm sure you, Lao Ba, have already experienced its wonders."

"For you and me, this is a perfect opportunity to take advantage of the wonders of this place, experience them more, and temper our spiritual consciousness and mind."

"Besides that, the greatest use of this 'Dream Club' is that its members can share resources and information with each other."

"If this is used properly, it will naturally be of great benefit to our cultivation."

"However, in my opinion, this feature is rather impractical!"

"It's just that our cultivation level is low and we don't have any valuable assets to offer in exchange, let alone the resources that the big shots in front of us have."

"They probably wouldn't even look down on the subordinate angels they sent to be on duty!"

"Anyway, I've been here for over two thousand years and haven't made many useful deals."

"However, our cultivation levels are not much different, so perhaps we can spark some new ideas between us."

At this point, the old peach tree also showed some emotional fluctuation.

"Eighth Brother, you're from the Great Abyss? Have you ever heard of a wondrous object in your hometown called the Immortal Remains Jade?"

"This rare item is very famous and has many uses for cultivators of various Daoist traditions."

"Unfortunately, this treasure can only be produced within your [Great Abyss]."

"But your realm only knows how to close itself off and has very little interaction with the outside world."

"It's incredibly difficult to find someone to share this place."

"If you can get your hands on such a treasure, we can make a deal."

"You can choose whatever you like from my secret vault; I guarantee you won't be shortchanged."
