Chapter 246 - Prophetic Dream (2/2)

Wei Huo said, “The Epic stage is a crucial stage compared to the Foundation Establishment stage of Daoism. One has to travel the world, see all kinds of things, and experience all sorts of ups and downs. Only after a long time can one sublimate to the Epic stage. The stabler one’s path is, the longer one’s path will be!”

Xiao Bin knelt down again. “I understand!”

Wei Huo pointed with his finger, and Xiao Bin groaned. Blood trickled down the corner of his mouth. The soul gem in his body had shattered instantly and turned into countless nutrients to nourish his spirit. However, his realm had dropped to the half-step Epic stage.

Wei Huo took out another Epic-ranked soul and refined the impurities in it before handing it to Xiao Bin. “If you encounter an emergency, use the mental strength in this soul gem. This will allow you to enter the Epic stage in a short time. However, you can’t use it to improve your cultivation. You can’t hurry to reach the Epic stage. You have to slowly build it.”

Xiao Bin nodded.

Wei Huo made him sit on the chair and said, “Xiao Bin, tell me in detail about the dream you told me about. Don’t leave any details out!”

Xiao Bin had once had a dream. That dream had warned Xiao Bin not to expose his name. That was why Xiao Bin and the others had used fake names. They had used ‘Private’, ‘Passerby’, and ‘Extra’ as their names.

Wei Huo had heard of the dream before, but he had not asked about Xiao Bin’s real name. He had not cared much about it at first, but after experiencing the seventh level of Kunlun Mountain, he realized that the prophecy was extraordinary!

If people who did not know the truth entered the City of Law on the seventh level, even if they were at the peak of the Legendary stage, as long as their names were recorded in the notebook, they would have to follow the law. If they violated it, they would definitely die unless they had equipment that could resist death.

Wei Huo still had the Rule-ranked Death Book, which was a real strategic weapon. A page of paper could kill a Legendary being of the same rank. One could use all their spiritual power to use five pages. For example, a page could probably kill ten Legendary creatures created by the system.

Given Wei Huo’s current mental strength, he could finish off all the Legendary creatures created by the system in the Northern Continent with just a few pages of the Death Book.

This notebook was terrifying. If the staff who had come to register him had not mistaken his name, he would not have been able to obtain it so easily.

That was why Wei Huo speculated that the prophecy’s purpose was to let Xiao Bin clear the seventh level easily. Perhaps Xiao Bin would have been stuck on the seventh level for too long if he had attempted to ascend Kunlun Mountain. It would have consumed a long lifespan, causing something irreversible to happen. That was why he had used this method to warn his past self.

This was a warning from the future. Perhaps it was not just a warning about not being able to use one’s real name. There might also be other information. That was why Wei Huo had taken this dream seriously.

Xiao Bin did not dare not answer Wei Huo’s question. However, he needed to recall carefully. The dream had influenced him greatly. He remembered that he could not reveal his real name, so he had not forgotten too many details about the dream.

He thought about it for a long time before saying, “I probably had this dream when I was 17 years old. I remember that I was still in school. Although it was Sunday, I woke up very early that day. It was precisely because I woke up early on a Sunday that I remember it better. After I woke up that day, I could not sleep. I thought about this dream carefully and finally recorded it in my phone’s notes.”

Xiao Bin started narrating his dream as he recalled it. Too much time had passed, so he had to make some connections. That was why he talked about many things that had nothing to do with his dream. In the end, he started talking about the dream itself.

“No one told me that it was the Underworld. I did not see the word ‘Underworld’ written anywhere either. Besides, it was completely different from the eerie underworld in the legends, the one with Ox-Head, Horse-Face, and King Yama. However, the first impression I had of that place was that it was the place where the dead went after they died—the Underworld!”
