Full Moon Market.
A black-robed old man was walking on the street, mingling with the crowd.
"I haven't seen the Tide-listening Pavilion Master for a long time. I'm afraid he's already gone mad from cultivating the [Supreme Origin Slaying True Life Sutra]. Hehe … no matter how much he admires the orthodox school, there's still the danger of being deified … it's not as good as my [Great Dream Heart Sutra]. "
The old man looked to be in his sixties or seventies. His hair and beard were all white, with only a few strands of hair on his head. His appearance was also very ordinary.
If thrown into the crowd, one would not be able to recognize him at all. Even thinking back, it would only be a blur.
This person was' Black Nightmare Old Man ', the master of Full Moon Market and a wandering cultivator of the eighth realm.
Being able to cultivate to the eighth realm among wandering cultivators without a fundamental technique was enough to look down on everyone.
"Tide-listening Pavilion has been getting weirder and weirder recently. From the last greeting, it seems they want to deal with a new decoder …"
Black Nightmare Old Man muttered to himself. No one paid attention to him, treating him like air.
He came to the front of Tide-listening Pavilion and was slightly hesitant. "Although something might have happened to the Tide-listening Pavilion Master, a cultivator with deified Dao is even more terrifying!"
As he thought of this, his figure burst like a soap bubble.
At the same time, a slightly illusory figure walked out from the shadows and swaggered into Tide-listening Pavilion.
In the next moment, his figure shattered with a loud bang.
"Good, the Tide-listening Pavilion Master lives up to his reputation!"
A passing wandering cultivator raised his head with a strange smile on his face.
Then, this trace of a smile spread. Most of the cultivators on the street unconsciously turned their heads, revealing a trace of a strange smile.
In their dreams, a joint dream realm appeared.
Hualala!
The sound of water splashing was earth-shattering. A cliff rose from the ground, and large amounts of ink-like black liquid flowed down, forming a waterfall.
Golden-back Dragon Whiskered Carps appeared one after another, scrambling to go against the flow of the waterfall, trying to cross the dragon gate.
This was a dream realm created by Black Nightmare Old Man.
When he wanted to test the Tide-listening Pavilion Master, he had already hidden in the subconscious dream realm and summoned a clone to enter Tide-listening Pavilion.
When he discovered that his clone had been destroyed, Blacknightmare Old Man immediately constructed a brand new Dreamscape as a defense.
"There is water in the mountain of books, and fish in the pond of ink!"
Accompanied by a clear voice, Qin Weiyin floated into this Dream Realm on a small boat.
A lone boat sailed on Ink Lake. Raindrops fell from the sky.
Every single drop of rain carried Qin Weiyin's aura, her corruption. She wanted to purify this entire dreamland.
"Tide-listening Pavilion Master!"
On top of the waterfall, countless splashes of water splattered and fused together, forming an old face. "Congratulations on breaking free from the calamity. In this aspect … this old man has also helped you before. The matter regarding that Fang Lang was also suppressed by this old man. Could it be that Pavilion Master doesn't remember our past relationship?"
"Black Nightmare Old Man, how dare you barge into the Tide-listening Pavilion and pry into my secrets. Today, I will give you retribution!"
Qin Weiyin's body, which was holding the oil-paper umbrella, suddenly exploded and transformed into a Demon of Civilization.
Black Nightmare Old Man cultivated the Great Dream Heart Sutra, and his body was hidden in the Dream Realm. The Demon of Civilization, on the other hand, was an information lifeform and could also enter and exit the illusory Dream Realm.
At this time, the giant jellyfish was beating vigorously like a heart, releasing rings of scarlet light.
Within the Ink Lake waterfall, the Golden-backed Dragon Whiskered Carps suddenly went berserk. They struggled madly, and their bodies underwent a terrifying transformation.
They seemed to have received a message from the void. Their bodies became slender and their abdomens bulged with small bumps.
Crack!
Finally, the small bumps exploded, revealing a large number of appendages. Some of them resembled the claws of an eagle, some resembled the limbs of a centipede … all sorts of strange shapes and sizes appeared.
The scales on the carps' bodies became extremely twisted, and the two dragon whiskers seemed to come to life. They constantly wriggled, and the ends split open, revealing their sinister mouths …
They looked like dragons, serpents, turtles, fishes, turtles …
These carps had shockingly transformed into strange-looking dragons! Then, they swam against the current and crossed the dragon gate.
The carps turned into dragons and crossed the dragon gate!
After leaving the waterfall and the Ink Lake, the strange dragons bared their fangs and brandished their claws as they pounced toward Black Nightmare Old Man's main body in the air …
Pfft pfft!
The strange dragons' claws and teeth were sharp, and their tentacles seemed to have turned into iron whips. There seemed to be countless iron nematode worms hidden under their scales.
They swarmed forward and tore apart the giant face in an instant.
"Ethereal Opening?!"
Black Nightmare Old Man's astonished voice sounded. A drop of blood fell into the waterfall and instantly turned into a sea of blood that emitted a sweet and fishy fragrance.
The strange dragons immediately gave up on their original target and charged toward the sea of blood, devouring it in large mouthfuls.
The giant face in the air collapsed, and one could vaguely see Black Nightmare Old Man's departing figure. "Pavilion Master's cultivation has improved again. This is truly worthy of celebration … I'll present you with a congratulatory gift in the future!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he had already walked further and further into the dream …
…
"He's pretty quick to run when he sees that things aren't going well!"
Within the Tide-listening Pavilion, Chung Shen-soo ridiculed.
Before long, Qin Weiyin also came over. "Master, I've already driven away Black Nightmare Old Man, but it's still beyond my power to capture and kill this fiend …"
"Don't worry, you've already done quite well."
Chung Shen-soo consoled him and began to think about his own matters.
He had concealed his tracks and entered this world to investigate.
He had to grasp the entire world's network in order to truly understand everything and make the right choice.
"At present, through a lot of reading, I have a general understanding of the problems this world faces … I just don't know the reason."
For existences like Outer Gods and True Gods, there were millions of worlds, and there was no need to fight to the death in one area.
Unless, there was some hard-to-sever benefit …
For example, a portion of divinity?
"It doesn't seem like it. It can't be that this world's divinity is so abundant that it can attract so many Outer Gods, right? And the Ouroboros of Time and the Gate Master could run, so why didn't they?
"The Outer Gods frequently invade and want to pollute this world. They don't hesitate to spread their ancient texts and recruit traitors among the human race … Why?"
Chung Shen-soo let out a long sigh. There were still many mysteries that were difficult to unravel.
"So … next, it's best to go to the Heavenly Demon Battlefield and take a look? It's not the time yet … "
"Then, I'll first find a few murderous demons for an on-the-spot investigation, and then go talk to the Great Sage of the Dao Sect. They are in charge of this world, so they must know a lot of secrets, right?"
Now that the Full Moon Market was of little help to Chung Shen-soo, he didn't have the slightest nostalgia for it and immediately decided to continue on his way.
