191 Dream People (1/2)
After the 8 princes were made kings, there was peace in the grass plains.
The Yuan Wu Conference came to an end; or perhaps, it should be changed to the Xia Secluded Conference. Every country led their soldiers back to their countries.
Although the process was a perilous one, with the appearance of someone more superior than him, Wu Qiankun was lucky to have witnessed the splitting up of Yuan Country's power. Without the threat from them invading the South, he left the conference with mixed feelings.
His loss was the greatest. Not only had he lost both Wu Wudao and General Fei Long, even some parts of his territory had to be given up. It would be interesting to see how he could maintain his rule over his people.
But of course, all these were none of Fang Yuan's business.
After the conference, he bade farewell to the king of Xia Country and Xie Lingyun, and left for the plains on a red horse.
”Whoooo!”
A strong gust of wind blew across the plains. The grass was all lying on the ground, dried up and hardened. There was a feeling as though the world had come to an end in the coldness of the plains.
”Winter is here!”
Fang Yuan took in a deep breath. ”The people of Yuan Country living in the plains are going to suffer this winter!”
As the 8 kings fought against each other, and without the chance to invade South, this winter would lead to many freezing to their deaths. The only way out was for them to recklessly plunder from the people in the North, but this would lead to dire consequences.
But again, all these did not matter to him.
”There is a big lake another 20 miles ahead, and the Sunset Division used to be here. However, they are now wiped out under the command of Ba Tu...”
As he moved forward, he could smell a strong rotting stench, coupled with the smell of blood.
Many vultures and crows were already circling the sky, ready to enjoy a feast.
”I've heard that the Sunset Division is one of the more well-known divisions in the North of Yuan Country, with over a thousand well-built men. If they really want to wipe them out, they'll have to prepare a hole large enough to bury 10,000 people!”
Fang Yuan galloped forward on his horse and arrived at a battlefield. Although it had already been cleaned up, remnants of the battle including broken bones were scattered around, attracting the company of wild wolves and dogs.
After the war, what was left of the original yurt was a skeleton in its place, and the ground was charred. It was as though the place was being burnt down.
Hell! Hell! Hell!
This place which resembled hell made Fang Yuan sigh.
After remaining silent for a while, he closed his eyes and started his cultivation. A purple fog appeared in front of him once again.
”Whooo! Whooo!”
The purple fog took on the shape of a snake and slithered around. Finally, it became an arrowhead and seemed to be pointing in a certain direction.
Without hesitation, Fang Yuan followed the purple fog.
After the lake, the terrain was undulating and Fang Yuan arrived at a rift valley.
Fang Yuan dismounted his horse and followed the purple fog in, as he ventured into the depths of the rift valley.
After a day's journey, the sky slowly darkened. The sun set in the west as the moon slowly rose from the east, illuminating the entire place with moonlight.
There was a small lake within the rift valley, and in it was a perfect reflection of the full moon, and it appeared illusionary like it was a dream.
Beside the lake, there was a green rock, and on the green rock laid a beautiful woman which seemed to have come from a dreamscape - it was Purple Dream.
”You're here?”
She looked up and gazed innocently at Fang Yuan, as though she had already predicted that he would come.
”You're not human!”
Fang Yuan took in a deep breath and replied in a deep voice.
”How am I not human?”
Purple Dream smiled and raised her palm. Under the moonlight, her palm was like an exquisite piece of white jade. ”I have flesh and blood, I have emotions, and I have everything a woman has. How am I not human? Dream Master Fang?”
”You knew...”
Fang Yuan sighed once more.
From the first time he interacted with this woman, he could sense a familiar spiritual aura from her, and his findings had confirmed his suspicions.
This lady, Purple Dream, was not an original human of the Da Qian world, but the creation of a dream master!
A dream master could be skilled to the extent of creating an entire world! Of course, they could create animals with life!
However, from an object to a spiritual object, to a living thing, to animals with wisdom and finally, to humans, every one of these stages possesses a huge amount of difficulty.
If the dream master who created Purple Dream was still alive, his cultivation might be even higher than that of Master Wenxin!
”I have only heard of the existence of 'dream people' in the Da Qian Empire. I never thought that I would meet one here!”
Fang Yuan sighed. ”Where's your owner?”
”Owner?”
Purple Dream smiled innocently. ”I would rather use the term 'Almighty Father'!”
