As soon as Wang Baole spoke, the hex force in the surrounding fog, which had been increasing continuously, suddenly stopped. After a few breaths of time, the hex in the fog seemed to recede like the tide, dispersing one after another.
It didn't dissipate completely. Instead, it opened up a gap in Wang Baole's direction, allowing his Divine Sense to sweep across the entire expanse of fog!
This scene stunned even Wang Baole, and his breathing quickened again. He had only spoken as a test. If nothing happened, he would have other methods to search for the other trial takers.
But he didn't expect it to be so useful...
The significance of this caused Wang Baole to be silent. However, he didn't have time to think about it. He clasped his hands and bowed to the fog. As his Divine Sense spread out, he locked onto a few targets.
At this moment, there were more than 30 people immersed in the enlightenment of the ninth life. Wang Baole didn't recognize the one closest to him, but Wang Baole was very familiar with the one slightly further away.
It was... Xu Yinling!
So Wang Baole's choice was naturally to give up on what was close at hand and look for what was far away. After all, even if it was a bit further away, it would only waste him 100 breaths of time. In an instant, his figure was like a rainbow as he shot toward Xu Yinling.
Xu Yinling was very cunning. Her location of enlightenment was different from the others. She didn't choose the open area, but used some special method to choose the fog to comprehend.
If it weren't for the fact that Wang Baole's Divine Sense could scan a large area, or that his target was the open area, he wouldn't have been able to find Xu Yinling. At the same time, Xu Yinling had set up other arrangements that made her in a relatively safe environment.
However, to Wang Baole, these traps were easily destroyed by his Divine Sense. They couldn't stop him in the slightest. Soon, he neared the area where Xu Yinling was. As he ran, he raised his right hand and waved it in all directions. Every time he waved his hand, the sound of it hitting the ground would ring out in the surrounding fog.
Occasionally, the sound of array formations breaking could be heard. If someone like Wang Baole was able to extend their Divine Perception outwards, they would be able to clearly see the cultivators under Xu Yinling's control trembling and falling to the ground, never to get up again. The threads of the array formation were also breaking apart continuously.
All of this lasted for about 30 breaths of time. Xu Yinling's arrangements, which she thought were foolproof, were all gone. Wang Baole's figure flickered, and when he reappeared, he was sitting cross-legged in front of Xu Yinling, who was still immersed in her previous life's enlightenment.
Wang Baole looked at the beautiful and enchanting woman in front of him, and there was no emotion in his eyes that a man should have. Instead, he performed an incantation gesture, causing numerous seals to appear around Xu Yinling, sealing her body, and suppressing the area around her. He even used his own Dao Star to suppress her Dao Star. Then he sat down cross-legged and summoned his clone to stand guard next to her.
Dark Fire flickered in his eyes. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of Dark Fire. Instantly, the Dark Fire spread and enveloped the two of them. Wang Baole's soul also made use of the Dark Fire's guidance and began to resonate with Xu Yin's soul using a technique similar to the Dark Dream.
Wang Baole was very familiar with all of this. After about 30 breaths of time, a tremor ran through Wang Baole as … a strange world appeared in front of him!
There was no sky or land in this world. There were only bubbles floating in the air. They were all different sizes, and some had more colors, some had fewer, some were transparent, and some were in the process of shattering.
There were so many of them that it was impossible to see where they ended.
However, they were not stationary. Instead, they seemed to be moving according to some sort of pattern. Although each bubble was blurry, if you looked closely, you would see that all of them were illusory.
The illusory figures were all different. Some were cultivators, some were mortals, some were beasts, some were plants, and some were bizarre creatures. Some were ordinary, some were extraordinary, and some were filled with gratitude and grudges. There were even strange and bizarre events. Each bubble seemed to be a story of its own, a world of its own.
These … Wang Baole's consciousness rippled as he scanned through all the bubbles that he could see. Suddenly, he sensed a familiar scent from the bubbles.
That was … the aura of dreams!
Because he had studied Dark Dreams before, and had even entered other people's past lives under the guidance of Dark Dreams, Wang Baole was familiar with dreams. After checking again and again, he had a general answer.
"These … are all dreams!
"The ninth life is actually filled with countless dreams. I just don't know if the dreams in these bubbles are the dreams of everyone in this world, or … are all the dreams of one person!" Wang Baole could be considered to have seen many things, so he quickly recovered from his shock. Immediately, he sensed the bubble that he was in.
It was Xu Yinling's dream.
In the dream, Xu Yinling was a fish. She was very, very ordinary. She swam in the river without any waves or countercurrent. The only thing special about her was that she liked to stay close to the surface of the water, as if she wanted to see the world above.
However, she seemed to be unable to do so. She kept trying and failing, but she continued to persevere.
Looking at the fish Xu Yinling had turned into, Wang Baole was silent. Just as he was about to leave, he saw a fox appear in Xu Yinling's dream!
Wang Baole recognized this fox. It was the fox in the little white deer's world. At the same time … it was the fox plushie that had hit the little girl Wang Yiyi's head.
The fox's appearance made Wang Baole, who was about to leave, pause. He saw the fox squatting on the shore, staring at the fish in the water. It slowly extended a claw, and with a strange light in its eyes, it reached out … and directly grabbed the little fish Xu Yinling had turned into!
No matter how the little fish struggled, it was useless. The little fox was slowly licked and was about to be placed into its mouth, but in the next instant, Wang Baole spoke.
"Put her back."
As soon as the voice was heard, the little fox froze. It raised its head abruptly and looked in Wang Baole's direction.
One man and one fox stared at each other.
After a long moment, a look of dissatisfaction appeared in the little fox's eyes. It tightened its grip on the little fish's claw.
"Hmm?" said Wang Baole coolly.
As the word echoed in the air, the law of time contained within the Waning Moon Art swiftly enveloped the area. The little fox shuddered, and the dissatisfaction in her eyes was instantly replaced by fear. She quickly put the fish back into the water, then turned around and fled.
Seeing the little fish return to the water, and the scars on its body caused by the fox, Wang Baole shook his head. He had only spoken because he had used Xu Yinling to enter this state of enlightenment. Once she died, it would mean that the enlightenment was over. If she woke up, he would wake up as well.
Ignoring the little fish Xu Yinling had turned into, Wang Baole's consciousness leaped, and in the blink of an eye, he flew out of Xu Yinling's dream and into the void, following the countless bubbles around him.
He was going to find the source of the bubbles!
After leaving Xu Yinling's dream, Wang Baole didn't see the little fish that had returned to the water. Although it was still in shock, it endured the pain and once again approached the surface of the water, looking … in the direction in which Wang Baole had left.
It was as if it knew that the person who had left this place had saved it.
Even if Wang Baole knew about this, he wouldn't have cared. The only thought in his mind was to find the source of the bubbles, to see if it was still Wang Yiyi's room.
The answer was no!
Wang Baole didn't know how far he had flown in the void where the countless bubbles were, but he finally saw the structure of the world clearly … The bubbles in the Dream Realm all revolved around a vortex.
And deep within the vortex … was not Wang Yiyi's room, but …
A crystal coffin!
On the coffin, there was still a huge blood-red centipede. The moment Wang Baole looked at it, the centipede twisted and turned into the face that Wang Baole had seen before. It looked at Wang Baole with a faint smile.
"You hid it with you, didn't you …?"
"I will … find you, observe you, and if you are suitable … I will choose you!"
The voice was like a bolt of lightning exploding in Wang Baole's consciousness. That was because … the voice had reverberated in the world of the Infernal Flame Gods when the hand had dissipated!
"Next time, I will choose you!"
