Dream Walker: Feng Shui Master Bai Ya

Entering the scene, which flows like a river, is like leaping into the water. Although there is some resistance at first, you can soon swim freely.

The scene in my field of vision was blurry at first, as if I were opening my eyes underwater for the first time and needed a while to adjust. But soon I could see clearly.

Shang Muchen realized that he was currently looking down from a god-like perspective.

The scene that first came into view shocked Shang Muchen so much that he almost lost his focus and retreated back into his body.

It took Shang Muchen a while to calm himself down before he could barely adjust to the scene before him:

This is clearly a secret indoor training ground. Inside the Japanese-style square room, a group of people are performing a very evil and lewd training ritual.

These rituals are even more elaborate than those in the most banned anime works, filled with scenes that defy description.

Shang Muchen watched it carefully and meticulously for a while with a critical mindset. After watching it enough, he found that it was just a series of repetitive actions and expressions, and he felt that it was not very interesting, so he stopped watching.

Shang Muchen thought that if Fujiwara Eikichi, who was so infatuated with Lan Shannan, saw these scenes before him, his beautiful filter for Lan Shannan would probably be shattered.

In particular, Shang Muchen discovered that among the men who led the ceremony, the one in the lead was none other than his master, Ashiya Ninzaburo.

The old man adopted a serious and focused attitude, which Shang Muchen found utterly ridiculous—to use the same attitude he would use to solve a math problem to do something so chaotic and evil.

If Fujiwara Eikichi, that simple-minded fool, were to witness this grand spectacle of a spiritual ritual starring Aoi Sora, he would probably be devastated.

Stopping looking at them, Shang Muchen carefully observed his surroundings and noticed a detail: on the paper door, there was a clearly outlined symbol—a lotus flower blooming on a divine tree.

Shang Muchen recalled that he had indeed heard of magnolia flowers that bloom on trees, which were said to have been planted by Zhuge Liang's wife, Huang Yueying.

Given the extent of the author's obsession with the Three Kingdoms period, it's not surprising that the "Sakaki Ren" organization uses a magnolia flower as its logo.

Shang Muchen tried to pass through the paper door, hoping to gather more information about the "Sakakiren" organization.

Strangely, when a paper door is opened, the scene behind it is still a ritualistic scene of cultivation.

One door leads to another, and the scene is always the same, repeating endlessly.

Shang Muchen understood. It must be some spellcaster, such as Kurosaki Hideto, who used this training ritual scene to trap Lan Shannan in an illusion.

Seeing her face full of enjoyment and an expression of extreme happiness, Shang Muchen understood. She might know that she was bound at this moment, or she might not, but whether she knew or not, she did not want to leave this daydream.

Clearly, she was completely captivated by this scene of spiritual practice, and she was reluctant to leave this beautiful dream constructed from the ultimate pleasure.

It turns out that the chains binding Lanshan South were not for pain and fear, but for desire and pleasure.

That's even more ruthless.

What should we do now?

Shang Muchen tried to find another way out of the room, but after turning around and around, he couldn't find even the slightest opening.

In a fit of anger, Shang Muchen gritted his teeth and decided to imagine a huge fire to burn down the scene.

Shang Muchen began to concentrate, imagining himself seeing a raging fire rise from the ground, igniting the tatami mats and paper walls, and then burning the entire wooden room.

As Shang Muchen imagined, flames indeed began to emerge from the four corners of the room, first igniting the paper walls and floor mats. Then, the giant tentacle monster that had been entrenched in the room was scorched by the flames, twitching violently in pain, and was quickly roasted.

A raging fire broke out, and the man in the room was burned and ran around screaming. Lan Shannan, however, continued his cultivation as if nothing was wrong. He remained absorbed in his practice, repeating the actions of his hands without paying any attention to the fire.

Suddenly, a strange little worm darted out of Lanshan Nan's ear, fell to the floor with a thud, and was quickly roasted and charred by the fire.

It was only then that Lan Shannan came to her senses. She discovered that fires were raging all around her and frantically tried to escape the room.

However, the fire was already too great, and the house was completely burned down. With a loud bang, the roof beams fell, and everyone inside was trapped inside and quickly engulfed by the flames.

Shang Muchen was starting to regret it. Had he gone too far?

The scene of burning is too cruel. What if it directly damages Lan Shannan's subconscious? Wouldn't it be like trying to save someone but instead hurting them?

However, before Shang Muchen could think further, a white soul slowly rose from the flames.

Shang Muchen stared curiously at the white halo. Intuitively, he knew that this should be Lan Shannan's consciousness, but he really couldn't figure out exactly what it was.

As the white light continued to rise, the scene of the burning room gradually receded into the distance, grew smaller and smaller, became a tiny dot of light, and finally disappeared.

Shang Muchen's gaze followed the halo, eager to see where it would fly.

The halo flew and flew, and after an unknown amount of time, suddenly the surrounding scene switched to a location resembling an arena or a military training ground.

Here, the white halo transformed into a stunningly beautiful female warrior with cascading black hair and a bewitching gaze. She bore a striking resemblance to Lan Shannan, but their overall aura was completely different.

In the square, thousands of female warriors, dressed in various kinds of gorgeous heavy armor and holding classical weapons, were lined up in neat rows, seemingly preparing to go to war.

Lan Shannan was dressed in a tight-fitting and gorgeous golden armor, holding a weapon that resembled a halberd or spear, the name of which she did not know. She was surrounded by a magical shield, making her look like a powerful female magical warrior.

Shang Muchen scratched his head in confusion. Had they switched scenes? Just a moment ago it was an urban legend plot, how did it suddenly switch to a classical Western fantasy with swords and magic?

Before he could think it through, another person appeared in his line of sight, which made him tremble all over and cold sweat instantly broke out.

In a prominent central position a few rows ahead of Lanshan South, Shang Muchen spotted Liu Qingyang at a glance.

That's right, it's Liu Qingyang!

Shang Muchen never expected that he would see Liu Qingyang in the illusion in Lanshan South.

Do these two have any relationship?

Wait a minute, the two of them have no connection whatsoever!

Liu Qingyang was also clad in heavy armor, which was far superior to Lan Shannan's, more ornate, and richer in color. The magical shield swirling around her was also more flamboyant and shimmering, making her look incredibly powerful.

Shang Muchen had no idea what he had seen, let alone what was happening at that moment.

On a high platform above the square, a female general clad in magnificent golden armor raised her long sword and shouted, and all the heavily armored female warriors in the square raised their weapons and cheered in response.

Immediately afterwards, a teleportation-like device was activated, and the female warriors on the square disappeared in batches, one group after another, their whereabouts unknown.

Before Shang Muchen could rush to Liu Qingyang's side and say a word to her, she shouted a slogan, raised her spear, and disappeared into the red teleportation array.

Just then, Lanshan Nan's team also activated the teleportation.

Shang Muchen's perspective was pulled by Lan Shannan, and he appeared in a cosmic space.

Shang Muchen immediately recognized his current location because he could see the moon.
