I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 252 Strange Dream

After dinner, Jiang Yingzhu and Mei Mengqian went to wash the dishes.

The old lady next door went to walk her dog.

Li Yan returned to his room, took a Qingling Pill, and began cultivating.

Recently, he had a vague feeling that he was about to make a breakthrough.

Although he neither needs to slay demons nor fight against evil cultivators.

However, breakthroughs are always beneficial.

Li Yan was so engrossed in the system's management that he lost track of time. Suddenly, a feeling of breaking free from constraints arose in his heart.

The spiritual energy within his dantian surged, spreading from the clear spring into a lake.

At the same time, Li Yan also vaguely sensed something more mysterious than spiritual power. It was like another version of himself from another dimension.

On the system panel, the small characters in the cultivation section, which were emitting a faint glow, lit up slightly.

Realm: [Refining Essence into Qi → Refining Qi into Spirit]

Li Yan opened his divine sense, which originally could only cover one district, and continued to expand until it gradually covered most of the city!

He saw Ye Hui in the villa area making tea. Drinking tea in the middle of the night, she probably didn't want to sleep.

He saw Yu Bing playing video games near the city center.

The actions and words of hundreds of thousands of people, and the movement trajectories of countless lives, were revealed in minute detail under divine consciousness.

But Li Yan didn't feel overwhelmed at all.

But he still frowned.

He withdrew his consciousness, opened his eyes, went to the window, and looked up at the sky.

Against the dark night sky, a strange spectacle, resembling a vortex of stars, was slowly disappearing.

The entire phenomenon covered the area around Feiyun Mountain; it was unlikely that anyone could miss it.

Li Yan waved his hand, and the abundant spiritual energy enveloped the strange phenomenon like clouds.

I could hear the discussions of various people within a radius of several hundred meters.

"When there are unusual celestial phenomena, the country is bound to suffer calamities. It must be because those officials are doing something wrong!"

Grandpa Qin stood at the intersection, crackling his electric mosquito swatter as he spoke to Zhou Qinqin, whom he encountered on her way back from walking her dog.

"Look at this, these past few years there have been floods and droughts. Who knows who did some terrible things and God found out about it?"

Zhou Qinqin was speechless, because of the efforts to create a clean and civilized city, coupled with reports from some ill-intentioned people.

Grandpa Qin's breakfast stall was precisely shut down, and he can no longer sell breakfast. These days, his resentment is greater than that of a ghost.

"Uncle Qin, please stop using Douyin (TikTok). It's probably just some people putting on a science and technology show or something."

Zhou Qinqin said something, then stopped arguing with the old man and took out her phone to open Xiaohongshu (a Chinese social media platform).

Posting to show off—

A strange phenomenon has appeared in the heavens; I, who have been hiding for over ten years, have finally been discovered.

Li Yan drew the curtains; it seemed there was no need to worry about it anymore.

People will fill in the blanks with their own imaginations.

Most people don't even think about it; they just glance at it, think, "Wow, this looks great," and then take a picture and post it on social media.

Of course, it's also possible that neither the film nor the post will be made.

Next door, Jiang Yingzhu was playing League of Legends with Mei Mengqian.

The senior student was organizing the content she needed to update on her social media account each week, and Li Yan scanned it with his divine sense.

Today's topic is why history after the Han and Tang dynasties feels so different.

Yes, this is a topic that's sure to attract viewers and generate discussion among Douyin users.

Li Yan didn't look at it anymore and went to sleep.

I fell asleep in an instant, unaware of how much time had passed.

Suddenly, a picture appeared before his eyes—

A simple room,

He lay on the bed, looking up at the house, which had a thatched roof.

If the wind were stronger, perhaps I would have to follow Du Fu's example.

'Dreaming? Entering a dream?'

As a novelist, Li Yan instantly made a judgment based on his current state. He sat up and looked around.

The thatched hut was not small; through the gap in the door that could not be closed, one could still see what the main room looked like.

It was equally rudimentary, containing only a table and a few wooden stools.

On his bed in his room lay a long robe made of linen.

'Ancient costume?'

Li Yan wondered if he had dreamt of an ancient farmer living under a house.

He went outside, tried to leave the room, and found he had succeeded!
Outside, the night sky was filled with moonlight, which spread across the ground like water, illuminating the ground clearly.

The surrounding area was filled with the same houses, so it looked like a small village.

I didn't see Feiyun Mountain, so it probably wasn't what I had guessed.

Li Yan walked around and suddenly noticed someone sitting on a rooftop not far away.

As he looked up, the man spotted him.

"Hey, why aren't you asleep yet? Tomorrow is the joint test for advanced immortal sects. If you don't pass, we'll be separated forever."

Li Yan was slightly taken aback. Jiang Yingzhu in front of him was dressed in a moon-white sword robe, exuding an ancient charm. Her hair was tied up at the back of her head with only a tree branch for support.

Under the moonlight, she resembled a female swordswoman.

'what's the situation? ’

Li Yan was puzzled. 'A test by the Immortal Sect Alliance?'

Did he dream about the Tianxuan Continent that the system mentioned?!
Then how can he control himself?!

Moreover, the system wasn't just talking nonsense; there really was such a continent.

"Why are you looking at me? I'm not taking the test; I've already passed it!"

Jiang Yingzhu's words from Tianxuan version ahead snapped Li Yan out of his thoughts.

He nodded and said casually, "I couldn't sleep, so I came out for a walk. I'm going back now."

Li Yan was certain that the system was behind it all, so he decided to just go with the flow and see how things unfolded.

Go back to sleep.

Lying in bed, he felt a little strange.

I was already sleeping, and now I need to sleep again to have a dream!
What kind of nesting doll behavior is this?
The following day, Li Yan went to participate in the joint test of the Immortal Sects.

Unsurprisingly, I didn't get first place, but I passed the test.

Even though he didn't know the answers to the questions and even filled in random ones, he still passed.

'It really was a dream, System, speak!'

The system remained silent; instead, the middle-aged man recruiting students from the immortal sect spoke up.

They were told to go to the Immortal Sect immediately and live there thereafter.

Li Yan looked at the face that resembled Jiang Yingzhu's uncle's and felt a little out of place.

Then he followed the group to the sect.

After joining the sect, the newcomer training begins.

Li Yan believes it is another version of military training.

Then came several internal sect competitions, which were probably monthly or midterm exams.

In between, there were activities similar to a sports meet.

Then he met Fairy Plum and his senior.

Li Yan discovered that the process of getting to know him was exactly the same as the side quest he had been doing.

But that's not the point. The point is that he actually started cultivating here, practicing immortal techniques and all sorts of skills.

Li Yan discovered that if he sought guidance from those elders, they would genuinely teach him.

And he was able to cultivate on his own, and even clearly remembered the path of his cultivation!

During this period, in addition to helping Jiang Yingzhu and the other two girls several times, just like in the system side quests, he also got closer to them.

He had been cultivating and studying all along, and Li Yan had a strange feeling that these things might be true, and he was also able to remember what he learned.

Months passed, years passed, and he learned the basics of immortal cultivation skills such as alchemy, weapon crafting, array formation, talisman making, and qi observation and witchcraft.

However, he still did not wake up.
