There are no ancestors at all; I made them all up.

Chapter 215 All Dreams Vanish

The clouds dispersed and the thunder ceased above the courtyard, and Qingming returned.

A blue light flowed around Chen Qing's body, and a powerful vitality mixed with extremely pure spiritual energy surged out from the dantian. Part of it was absorbed by the Nine-Turn Golden Pill to strengthen himself, while the rest dissipated and overflowed from the pores all over his body!

Instantly, the plants in the courtyard, nourished by this, grew wildly at a visible speed, becoming lush and verdant in the blink of an eye, sparkling with vitality.

"As the saying goes, when one person obtains the Dharma, all receive its blessings. I can say that I now have a foundation."

Feeling that the changes in his body were not much different from those in his dream, he immediately used his experience from the dream to sort things out in a flash.

"Master, what's going on?"

The little black cat, who had been waiting outside, observed the changes around it and felt the spiritual energy that had almost materialized. Recalling the scene of thunderclouds gathering in the sky just now, it vaguely guessed something, so it widened its eyes and stammered out a question.

Chen Qing glanced at him, thought for a moment, and replied, "It's nothing. I just made some progress and managed to form a core in my spare time."

The black cat was speechless for a moment: "You managed to form a core in your spare time?"

Is this human talk?
It stared blankly at the strange phenomenon of the spiritual plant growing wildly before it.

The golden monkey next to it glanced disdainfully at the black cat, as if looking at a country bumpkin who had never seen the world, and sat up cross-legged on its own, desperately inhaling and exhaling the spiritual energy that permeated the air.

The black cat sensed something and became furious. It opened its mouth to speak, but as soon as it opened its mouth, a torrent of spiritual energy entered. It was stunned for a moment, then came to its senses and quickly followed suit, lying on the ground and trying to swallow and exhale.

"This is all due to fate! No wonder Grandpa always said that finding the right powerful patron is more important than diligent cultivation! The path forward for us spirit beasts lies in making the right choices!"

At this moment, those terrifying wills that had been peering from afar, after a brief period of deathly silence, were now boiling over!
"Nine Revolutions?! It's actually a Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir! Since the ancient and medieval times, someone has actually been able to achieve the Nine Revolutions in this world!"

The three divine thoughts were about to make contact with Chen Qing, but the ripples in the void disappeared without a trace due to the dissipation of the calamity and the stabilization of the golden core. As a result, the three divine thoughts that relied on the ripples in the void also disappeared and could not be maintained!
But at the last moment, the urgency conveyed by several divine thoughts still made Chen Qing sense it.

"Ok?"

He frowned, but quickly relaxed.

"I made the decision to break through on short notice and wasn't prepared beforehand. It caused quite a stir and attracted some covetous eyes, which is perfectly normal. Based on the rich experience of the Dream Immortal Dynasty, if there is no organization to protect me, then the next step should be to relocate!"

Upon realizing this, Chen Qing had the idea of ​​temporarily bidding farewell to Liu Shuang'er and returning to the sect.

"In retrospect, I've been the sect leader for quite a while now. I've reached the ninth level of the Golden Core stage, and I'm considered a figure in this Nanbin region. To use the words from my previous life's novels, I'm practically a Golden Core Ancestor behind closed doors, capable of protecting my disciples. As for my later Nascent Soul Refining, it wasn't through arduous cultivation, but through fortuitous opportunities, which I explored in my dreams."

Thinking about this, he felt it was time to go back and manage the sect.

Just then, Liu Shuang'er pushed open the door and entered. Seeing that Chen Qing's spiritual energy had not dissipated and there were faint scorch marks on the ground, her face still showed shock. She was about to speak, but before she could utter a word—

"Oh!"

The courtyard gate was flung open by a gust of wind, and Liu Yuanchen rushed in, his face ashen. He said urgently, "Hurry! This place has been exposed, and several people are on their way. The fastest one is a chilling demonic aura with the imminent pressure of a Nascent Soul cultivator!"

Before the words were even finished, Chen Qing raised an eyebrow, already feeling the approaching evil intent, foul and filthy, almost tangible.

"Even if the calamity comes late, it is still a calamity."

Chen Qing's eyes turned cold. He was about to return to the mountain gate. How could he allow villains to lurk around and cause trouble in the future?

He immediately raised his hand and pointed!
"Qiang!"

The jet-black longsword, which had been soaked in the tribulation lightning, hummed and then transformed into a bolt of lightning, shooting straight into the sky!

Its speed is so great that it seems to see space as nothing, arriving in an instant!
In the distance, the blood-red face carrying the Rainbow Phoenix was flying away when suddenly, pitch-black lightning filled its vision. Terrified, it screamed, "Fellow Daoist, wait! I am... Oh no!"

Seeing that the lightning was coming too fast, he made a quick decision and threw away the body of the Rainbow Phoenix!
"boom!"

A burst of lightning obliterated all sound!
Hong Feihuang stood at the epicenter of the thunderstorm, her face a mixture of resentment and fear. "How could this be! This…"

But his thoughts vanished in an instant, and his physical body, like ice and snow exposed to the scorching sun, silently turned into nothingness.

"This Rainbow Phoenix Blood Refined Body, my disciple Blood Butcher trained it for a long time, and it's finished in one move? No way! This person is still on guard and on the defensive, he must think that all those who came to investigate are villains, so he attacked ruthlessly! Ancestor, don't stand under a dangerous wall..."

Upon seeing this, the blood-red-faced man immediately decided to visit another day!

However, he also knew that such thunderous divine power was not easy to get rid of, so he opened his mouth and spat out a ball of demonic energy: "My good disciple, now that your disciple, my grand-disciple, has perished, how can you remain unscathed? After all, once your disciple dies, you will come looking for him sooner or later, and then there will be another karmic entanglement. Wouldn't that harm the path of our sect? Alas! Go!"

As soon as the thought was uttered, the face vanished, leaving behind only a grotesque mass of demonic energy!
The demonic energy immediately expanded, and a will emerged from it. After sensing it for a moment, it was overjoyed!

"Such rich spiritual energy! I never expected that cunning master, who usually turns a blind eye to people in distress, would actually think of me now. No, wait, Huang'er's life force is surging... she's perished?!"

Upon seeing this, the man and woman from the distant clan also stopped abruptly, their faces filled with horror.

The man felt a chill run down his spine and grabbed his companion: "This person is radiating murderous intent, possesses bizarre supernatural abilities, and is definitely not someone to be trifled with! Moreover, he probably thinks that the people around him are going to harm him. Senior sister, we should avoid his sharp edge for now!"

"Yes! Let's escape first!" The woman didn't hesitate, and the two turned and left!

In the courtyard, Chen Qing noticed the change outside and frowned slightly.

"The situation is a bit complicated..."

With a thought, the icy eyes of the "Dharma Lord Projection" beside him swept across the void, and suddenly spoke: "Although the demonic thoughts have dispersed, the root has not been eradicated."

“That means there’s a demonic cultivator’s projection causing trouble, but tracing the source won’t be easy…” Chen Qing sighed, and his Nine-Turn Golden Core suddenly trembled. The seed of divine power that had been nurtured during the fourth stage of the Golden Core naturally sprouted, and white mist immediately filled his vision, as if a dream was intertwined with it.

"Hmm?" A thought flickered in his mind, "Could it be that my innate divine power is..."

Sensing something, he raised his hand and grabbed a wisp of pure demonic energy in mid-air, then opened his mouth and exhaled a wisp of ethereal white mist.

The white mist and demonic energy merged, then suddenly exploded, transforming into a surging cloud of dreamlike mist, within which a scene was vividly reflected—

A gaunt old Taoist priest huddled inside a lava cave, looking disheveled. A strange blood talisman on his chest slowly rotated, extending countless thin, vein-like threads that pierced into his shriveled flesh, seemingly drawing blood from him while simultaneously sustaining him.

"I see, I think I understand the effect of this supernatural power now."

Chen Qing's eyes changed, and he raised his hand to point!

Beside him, the Blood River transformed into a stream of filthy blood light, which crashed into the dreamlike mist!
Far overseas, in the heart of a solitary volcano.

Having finally escaped his pursuers and found some respite, the Blood Slaughter Master sat cross-legged on the scorching lava, his body shrouded in demonic energy, and the blood talisman on his chest flickering intermittently.

His demonic thought had just been forcibly extracted. Sensing the rich spiritual energy, he hadn't even had time to rejoice when he sensed his disciple's demise. Upon realizing the cause and effect, his expression immediately changed.

"The enemy of Huang'er is truly ruthless! What a pity for Huang'er, such a fine cauldron, and with whom I have a karmic connection. With her fall, my cultivation technique will have a flaw! So be it, go in peace. When my demonic arts are fully mastered in the future, I will surely kill this person with my own hands to avenge you and complete my path!"

Before the thought had even left my mind, a sudden wave of drowsiness washed over me!
"Something's not right!" His cultivation was so profound that he was impervious to heat and cold, yet he couldn't control his eyelids, his soul trembled, and he was utterly terrified. "Was it a sneak attack using supernatural powers?!"

The surrounding scenery suddenly distorted, and he instantly realized that he had fallen into a dream, and his soul was about to leave his body!

"What kind of supernatural power is this? So domineering! Silent and stealthy, it captures souls and enters dreams!"

"puff!"

A stream of foul blood suddenly shot out from the dream, piercing through his brow!

Blood Slaughter Master's body trembled violently, the light in his eyes dimmed instantly, and the demonic energy on his body collapsed with a roar. His stiff body fell into the magma, hissing and turning to ash in the blink of an eye.
