"I've heard of it," Xiao Hua said honestly. "Some body tempering techniques have this kind of unconventional secret technique that uses external forces to stimulate the body's potential. For example, stone attacks, iron hammers, water flooding, and even poison. Junior has tried it in the Mortal Realm."
"Now, these forty-nine Immortal Nascent Souls," the Illusory Realm Ancestor said with a smile. "You've accidentally walked on this path!"
"Immortal Nascent Souls are formed from Immortal Spiritual Energy, and they are Laws. Engraved with the Laws are similar to body tempering in the Mortal Realm." Xiao Hua nodded. "However, the Laws of Poison are still poison, and the Laws on the surface of the Immortal Nascent Souls' bodies change. They can't control it!"
"Fighting poison with poison?" The Illusory Realm Ancestor raised his eyebrows. "The Law of Poison of the Mourning Soul is the nemesis of my Mortal Confession. How can my Mortal Confession not be the nemesis of the Law of Poison of the Mourning Soul?"
"Haha, thank you, Ancestor!" Xiao Hua instantly understood and bowed with a big smile.
"However," the Illusory Realm Ancestor changed the topic. "If you want to rely on the Mortal Confession to escape from the Mourning Soul's poison formation, it will be extremely difficult."
"Alas." Xiao Hua sighed as well. "That's right. This is Mount Xuanxia, so I can't utilize Immortal Energy that's too strong. Secondly, I can't say that I'm a match for that sorrowful spirit, but a poison that fights poison with poison must be extremely strong!"
"Yes, that's true!" The Illusory Realm Ancestor nodded. "When I was trapped here, I thought about what I should do if I escaped."
"Ancestor, can you teach me?"
"Naturally, I have to explain it to you." The Illusory Realm Ancestor smiled. "My Jiu Xia still needs you to take care of her. If I don't tell you, who else can I tell?"
"Hehe." Xiao Hua laughed, not daring to say anything. After all, he had already done it with the Illusory Realm Ancestor's granddaughter in his dreams. What else could he say?
"This sorrowful spirit came from a strange place," the Illusory Dream Ancestor said. "At first, I didn't know where it came from, but I won't hide it from you. I used the Floating Life Dream Paintings to cultivate the Six Dreams. They are the True Dream, Nightmare, Thinking Dream, Restless Dream, Joyful Dream, and Fearful Dream. They are similar to the Seven Emotions of Joy, Anger, Sorrow, Longing, Sorrow, Fear, and Shock! After some probing, I recalled a strange item called the Seven Emotions Nightmare Demon Pagoda, which is as famous as the Six Desires Heaven Portrait … "
"Wait, wait," Xiao Hua said anxiously. "Patriarch, I don't even know the Six Desires Heaven Portrait, let alone the equally famous Seven Emotions Nightmare Demon Tower."
"Mn, let's just talk about the Seven Emotions Nightmare Pagoda." The Dreamrealm Ancestor said, "This is a treasure. It's divided into seven levels, and each level has its own illusory realm that corresponds to a person's seven emotions: joy, anger, sorrow, longing, sorrow, fear, and shock. I suspect that this sorrowful spirit is a spirit formed after the Seven Emotions Nightmare Pagoda's illusory realm devoured enough of it! "
Xiao Hua said thoughtfully, "Just like how the Grand Ancestor swallowed the essence of dreams?"
"Yes!" The Dreamrealm Ancestor nodded. "However, although I suspect that it's a spirit formed from the sorrowful emotions of the Seven Emotions Nightmare Pagoda, I can't think of any way to resist this sorrowful spirit's poison!"
Xiao Hua smiled bitterly. "I've often heard people say that yearning can become poison. I didn't think that sorrow could become poison! However, the seven emotions are said to be objects of the soul's lust … "
At this point, Xiao Hua came to a realization. "Ah, I understand now. This is Mount Xuanxia, and it has the power of Law. The sorrowful spirit's poison mixed with the power of Law, and became a poison of Law!"
"That's right!" The Dreamrealm Ancestor clapped his hands. "Since you can deduce many things from one example, I'm sure you can think of a way to escape."
"Hehe." Xiao Hua smiled faintly, and said meaningfully, "If I can't think of a way, I'll replace Senior and guard this fragment of Qingqiu Mountain whose fate has already faded!"
"As expected, you're not a stupid person. You've already understood the trick. Waiting until here should be her arrangement, right? Listen to me, since you're already here, take things as they come." The Dreamrealm Ancestor's smile grew even wider, but his body became even thinner. Even within the Mortal Confession, he was almost invisible. He said indifferently, "Anyway, I'm about to be free. You can continue!"
"How can an Immortal Infant be fully engraved with Dao patterns? What's the Floating Life Dream Record? "
"Haha." The Dreamrealm Ancestor laughed loudly. "Once my illusory body disappears, you'll be able to completely control the Mortal Confession. At that time, you'll understand everything!"
Xiao Hua asked, "Do you still want to see Jiu Xia?"
"Alright!" The Dreamrealm Ancestor hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "In the end, it's still my bloodline. Now that you mention it, I really can't bear to part with it!"
Xiao Hua broke free from the Mortal Confession. The Dreamrealm Ancestor's illusory body had already turned into a wisp of smoke. Xiao Hua's consciousness swept over and said, "Ancestor, don't resist!"
The Dreamrealm Ancestor seemed to have no strength to reply, so wherever Xiao Hua's consciousness passed, the illusory body easily fell into the space.
And there was no need for him to do anything. The illusory body turned into the Dreamrealm Ancestor and fell into the green light of Qingqiu Mountain!
"How … How is this possible???"
The Dreamrealm Ancestor was so shocked that his eyeballs were about to fall out. He cried out crazily, "Why is there another Qingqiu Mountain here???"
Xiao Hua ignored the Dreamrealm Ancestor, because he knew that the Dreamrealm Ancestor had already said what he should, and he wouldn't say what he shouldn't say. Rather than facing the Dreamrealm Ancestor himself, it was better to let Jiu Xia face him.
And so, Xiao Hua used all his strength to control the Mortal Confession!
There was a sliver of the Dreamrealm Ancestor's soul imprint inside the Mortal Confession. Seeing that it was about to disappear, Xiao Hua hurriedly put the Mortal Confession away and turned into the Jade Archive Xiao Hua's appearance. He then separated the soul imprint and sent it into the Dreamrealm Ancestor's illusory body. Only then did he use the Mortal Confession again to protect the Qingqiu Mountain fragment.
Although the Mortal Confession had only been in and out for an instant, the Qingqiu Mountain fragment's aura still rushed into the sorrowful spirit's poison array. An even more powerful scarlet beam of light pierced the forty-nine Immortal Nascent Souls' bodies.
Xiao Hua could sense that the Immortal Nascent Souls' bodies were on the verge of collapsing again. Moreover, the 129,600 runes were spreading even further, as if they were really being poisoned. He didn't dare to be careless. He quickly sat down cross-legged, his palms facing the sky as he tried to comprehend how to activate the Mortal Confession!
After about an hour, Hsiao Hua-mei raised his head and pointed at the Mortal Confession. With a hum, the 129,600 green halos of various sizes suddenly expanded. He said, "Fellow Daoists, please enter!"
"Thank you, fellow Daoists!" The forty-nine Immortal Nascent Souls were overjoyed. They withdrew the Capital Star Array and flew into the Mortal Confession.
Xiao Hua continued to cast spells. "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Another 129,600 green halos fell down, sprinkling on the surface of the forty-nine Immortal Nascent Souls. These halos were like sweet rain, within the frantic Dao characters that were born and extinguished, the shapes of mountains were born, gradually suppressing the life and extinguishing, gradually stabilizing.
After another few hours, the poison of the laws was stopped. Xiao Hua smiled. "Fellow Daoists, continue to set up the array and let the runes take shape. I have to think of a way to get out!"
"No problem!"
As the forty-nine Immortal Nascent Souls agreed, they set up the Capital Star Array again, causing the green halos to fall even more evenly and mysteriously. Xiao Huazi had already flown into the Capital Star Array. As he sat cross-legged, he took out a Ink Celestial Pupil!
Wasn't this the Ink Celestial Pupil that Xiao Hua had obtained when he traded with Xu Si of the Hao Hui Battle Team?
Xu Si's Ink Celestial Pupil contained information about the King's Selection. The minimum requirement to participate in the King's Selection was to be a Nine Palaces Immortal. Xiao Hua was only a high-level Golden Immortal back then. He didn't even have the qualifications to participate in the King's Selection. However, Xiao Hua had always been curious. Later on, with Xuan Qiong Master's urging, Xiao Hua had conveniently obtained this Ink Celestial Pupil.
When the Illusory Realm Patriarch mentioned the Seven Emotions Nightmare Tower, Xiao Hua immediately thought of this Ink Celestial Pupil. This was because the Ink Celestial Pupil clearly stated that the King's Selection would be held in the Seven Emotions Nightmare Tower.
Xiao Hua released Wannian. When he saw the information in the Ink Celestial Pupil, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. This was because the Ink Celestial Pupil not only recorded some information about the King's Selection, but also reminded him of things to take note of when fighting in the Seven Emotions Nightmare Tower.
In particular, there was one item that said: If you want to pass the Seven Emotions Nightmare Tower's test and be safe in each level of the illusory realm, you need to prepare seven types of Demon Alliance treasures. The corresponding treasure is a type of demon wood called the Shala Fern.
As for what the Shala Fern looked like, the Ink Celestial Pupil didn't say anything.
If this matter had happened to anyone else, this information would have been useless. However, after Xiao Hua saw it, his consciousness entered the Space and turned into the Jade Archive. Xiao Hua whispered to the giant Chen Wei in the Space, "Disciples, this old man needs the Demon Alliance's Shala Fern. If any disciple finds it, immediately send it to this old man through Chen Wei. This old man has an extremely urgent matter!"
At this time, the Fortune Gate's Continuous Merchant Alliance had disciples in various mature realms. Huang Tong, Feng Wu, Wen Qu, and the others also had disciples in various realms outside the Space. The Jade Archive Xiao Hua sent a message through Chen Wei. Not only Huang Tong and Feng Wu, but even the disciples who had received Chen Wei's message also received it.
The Jade Archive Xiao Hua also said that it was an extremely urgent matter, and all the disciples immediately acted.
After the Jade Archive Xiao Hua finished sending the message, he glanced at the Illusory Dream Ancestor's phantom. At this time, the Illusory Dream Ancestor's phantom with soul imprints had already entered the Green Hill Mountain's green shadow. He was sitting cross-legged in a strange posture. The hill-shaped green shadow of various sizes entered his body and turned into a colorful bubble. The bubble continuously appeared and disappeared inside the Illusory Dream Ancestor's phantom. It was like dew and lightning, and an indescribable fluctuation began to ripple.
The Jade Archive Xiao Hua suddenly thought of a sentence from the Buddhist Kingdom's ancient scriptures: All things are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows. Like dew and lightning, one should observe it as it is.
"Interesting!" The Jade Archive Xiao Hua chuckled. "A man who can become the Green Hill Mountain's Fox Ancestor should have some background. Moreover, he has the Red Dust Confession, a Grand Primordium immortal artifact. Perhaps he is a Grand Primordium Immortal."
The Jade Archive Xiao Hua left the space. There was not much he could do at this time, and he could only wait for news from the Fortune Gate's disciples. Therefore, he released Wannian to explore the Illusory Dream Ancestor's inheritance inside the Red Dust Confession.
The Illusory Dream Ancestor was obviously prepared to die. Seeing that he had met Xiao Hua, and that he could protect Jiu Xia, he did not hide anything from him. Xiao Hua roughly looked at it and knew that he would not be able to comprehend and cultivate it in a short time. He only looked at the contents of the Red Dust Confession before looking at the so-called Six Dreams.
Xiao Hua was very curious about the cultivation method of swallowing other people's dreamland essence for oneself.
The Illusory Dream Ancestor's Six Dreams was cultivated with the help of the Fleeting Life Dream Painting. The so-called Fleeting Life Dream Painting was somewhat similar to Old Man Fleeting Life's Purple Jade Envelope, but it was an immortal artifact that could create dreamlands that were like the myriad phenomena of the mortal world.
People are similar to each other, but dreams are different from each other.
