164 Bastard (1/2)
”Fourth Master, know your place!”
After the housekeeper and servants punished him, they walked away proudly.
Fang Yuan laid on the bed; his mind was messed up.
After a long while, his true 'self' finally awoken, and retained all of Yang Fan's memories.
”Sss...”
As he flipped around, his back was burning from the wounds, making him take in a deep breath as he almost blurted out vulgarities.
”Getting spanked just after being lucid, what luck...”
Fang Yuan shook his head and was rather appreciative. ”If not for this spanking, I don't know when I would become lucid as well, so it may very well be good luck too...”
He scanned his surroundings and gathered his consciousness. ”Is this the test left behind by the Five Ghosts Sect ancestor?”
”Dream Building!”
To a dream master, it was a basic skill to be able to change a dream world.
However, as Fang Yuan tried, he was left in shock. ”What's wrong?”
As he realised, he took too long to awaken from this dream world.
”I cannot use my dream master abilities! Could it be because the dream master of this dream world has a higher cultivation level than me?”
Fang Yuan looked around. ”Then what is the difference between this dream world and the real world?”
The happenings in this dream world were vastly different from the dream worlds Fang Yuan had.
The most important thing was that is felt extremely real!
”I am afraid that the laws of this world are the same as that of reality!”
He became serious, as he knew what this meant.
”To transform a dream world into reality, he must be at least in the Prominent Divine Stage! Did he leave this dream world here as a test?”
Fang Yuan started to think deeper.
This dream world was too real. If he were to remain trapped in here, the consequences would be dire.
If he wanted to leave this dream, how could he do it?
”To leave a dream world, there are two ways aside from dying; to follow the flow or to oppose the flow. This is not my dream world, so death is not an option! As for 'opposing the flow', it would be to forcefully take control of the whole dream world which will allow me to come and go as I please. However, my cultivation is not as strong as this dream master's, so this is not viable!”
”That leaves me with the option of 'going with the flow'! The main idea is to be open-minded and accomplish some wish of the dream's owner... From my analysis of the surroundings, it seems that it is probably something like gaining power and seeking revenge...”
After lying down flat for a while, and as the wounds on his back stabilised, Fang Yuan got to his feet, walked to the study table and opened a book at random. ”Computing?”
From his retained memories, the Da Qian empire based itself on martial arts. Even if it were literature examinations, there would not be much discussion about it. On the other hand, they were more biased to practical skills, calculations, geography, livelihood, and these were a must-test.
The dream owner studied hard for the Imperial Examination, and now Fang Yuan felt that he was rather confident in passing and becoming a clerk.
This Imperial Examination was for the recruitment of clerks. There was no such thing as becoming an official straight away. Everything had to start small!
”This is the Da Qian Empire... Even their systems are much more advanced than Xia Country's…...”
Thinking about Xia, Zhu and the other countries, or the clans, factions or sects that fight with each other, Fang Yuan rolled his eyes.
”This might be the real memory of that Five Ghosts Sect ancestor, which will help me a lot!”
Fang Yuan thought about other things.
He wanted to visit the Da Qian Empire. However, he had not taken over the unlucky Yang Fan's memories, and there were not many problems with the written language or the spoken language.
Furthermore, the information this young man was receiving was rather complete, which would allow him to have a more intuitive understanding of the Da Qian Empire.
”Also, this real dream world shall be a role model for me to follow!”
Fang Yuan's eyes glittered as he observed the arrangement of the surroundings.
In order for a dream master to attain the Prominent Divine Stage, they would first have to learn how to make things real.
To be able to influence objects with his mind, influence reality with his consciousness, and transfer objects from the dream world into the real world, the first step was for him to adjust his personal dream world to make it as though it was a real world, where the same laws were applicable.
This dream world was a benchmark he could follow.
”Even if there is no treasure, this is still worth it! Of course... it would be better without the other two weaknesses....”
He took in a deep breath.
It was extremely dangerous to explore the dream world.
The death in the dream would endanger the life of the real body! Secondly, being trapped and unable to escape the dream would let the real body die of hunger!
”The past few dream worlds were from my consciousness, therefore 10,000 years could pass by without much time lost. But now in this world, since it is very real, the rate of time flow is exactly same as in reality!”
Fang Yuan became serious. ”In reality, my body is within the Ecstasy Fog, and I am still under the protection of the square, so I should be fine. However, if I am trapped here, my real body might die of hunger... In terms of time, I only have 1 month! 30 days!”
He had already broken through to the realm of elemental force and had unthinkable abilities.
As his body was filled with elemental force, he would unknowingly take in nutrients from the outside world. Within 30 days, he would not die of thirst or hunger.
”But this is my limit. I need to achieve the objective in 30 days, right? Most importantly is that I don't even know the objective, and have to find out by myself...”
Fang Yuan pointed a middle finger towards space. ”Really... This is such a weird treasure?”
