228 Dream Realm (2/2)
Fang Yuan followed Meng Lian as they arrived at the outskirts of Dongyi County. He had a confused look on his face.
”What is the impression of the Dream Realm in your mind, Fang Yuan? What is our world?”
Looking at the surroundings, it was a piece of wilderness with no life in sight. Meng Lian suddenly asked Fang Yuan.
”The reality is an illusion, and illusionary things are real! Our dream worlds are like a bubble that can be destroyed and rebuilt in an instant. This is also true for your world...”
Fang Yuan replied in a serious tone.
”Why would you have such a deep impression of dream worlds and our world?”
Meng Lian felt a little suspicious and continued explaining. ”Where do you think... the Dream Realm would be? Of course, in our dreams!”
”Dreams? Entering the dream of another dream master?”
Fang Yuan suddenly felt inspired.
”That's right! By dream-accessing, every dream master would be brought to a common dream world, the Dream Realm. The Dream Realm is a large-scale public trading place!”
From Meng Lian's description, Fang Yuan's expression changed. ”Dream masters from all over the world can connect together in an instant through dream accessing and even do trading... It's unbelievable!”
In his past life, this would be known as the internet which connects the world. However, dream masters were able to actualise it out and even use it for trading purposes.
'All dream masters would specialise in different professions, but all of them can come together in the Dream Realm...'
Fang Yuan's eyes glittered; he could not wait to experience it for himself.
”Master, have you finally realised that I am not out to harm you?”
Meng Lian smiled cheekily.
”What is this Dream Realm built on?”
As he frowned, he thought of a question.
”Have you heard of a wild animal called 'Kun'?”
”Kun!?”
Thinking about it, Fang Yuan exclaimed. ”Is it the one in the legends? The thousand-year-long dream of the beast which is illusionary? The one that normal people are unaware of?”
”That's right! This wild animal 'Kun' is a mutant. Our ancestors, the dream masters in Da Qian, have put in a lot of effort to catch one of it, keeping it in captivity and using it as the foundation of the dream world!”
Meng Lian took out a glittering scale the size of a palm. ”This object has the spiritual aura of the Kun. As long as you are a dream master, you can use your dream-accessing technique to enter that dream world!”
”Many thanks!”
Fang Yuan received the scale over. Indeed, he could feel an illusionary spiritual aura from it.
”Let's go... Since this is your first time, I will have to verify your identity. Once you have been there before, you would not need this piece of scale and can access the dream world anytime and anywhere!”
Meng Lian brought him to a cave in the mountains, hugged her knees and fell asleep next to a piece of green rock. She had entered her dream.
”Dream accessing!”
Scanning the surroundings to ensure that it was safe, Fang Yuan closed his eyes as well.
Of course, he would still guard against this lady.
However, ever since he had achieved a breakthrough to Illusionary Divine Stage, his magic proficiency points gained an exponential increase, which led to a new technique. This new technique allowed him to keep a tinge of consciousness in his body even after dream accessing. Therefore, if there was any danger, he could immediately wake up.
Since Meng Lian invited him, he would not decline and therefore executed his dream-accessing technique as well.
'Roar roar!'
As he traced the spiritual aura on the scale, his consciousness rosed and he could see a river of colourful bubbles.
Suddenly, a loud roar was heard and the bubbles burst.
As he focused, he drove away all the fog, revealing a big animal.
It was the size of an island and was sky-green in colour. Its body was covered in scales and had 8 legs, 6 eyes, 4 ears, and its limbs resembled a spider. It was flat on its back and felt mysterious and unnatural at the same time.
”The ancient wild animal - Kun!”
Fang Yuan focused.
He realised that although the gigantic animal's spiritual aura was scary, it was like a pool of still water and had no intention of fighting. It was covered in seals all around its body, and there was a dream world within it.
Although the dream world was huge, it was easy to infiltrate. Any dream master would be able to enter it at will.
'Indeed a public place!'
At the side, a few streaks of light broke the surface of the dream world and penetrated through. Seeing this, Fang Yuan began to rush straight into the dream world without any more hesitation.
”Pu!”
At the corner of the street, a shadow flashed by and Fang Yuan's body appeared.
”You're here?”
At the side, Meng Lian's voice was heard. ”I have been waiting for quite a while...”
Turning around, Fang Yuan could see Meng Lian smiling cheekily there. He was shocked. ”How can your body be so real...”
Half of her body was covered in a layer of fog, and in the fog, there were white lotuses blooming. Everything was fleeting.
Fang Yuan was stunned. Quickly, a thin layer of white fog appeared around him too.
”You learn fast!”
Meng Lian praised him. ”Firstly, welcome to the Dream Realm. As a new member, you are entitled to an identity inscription plate. You will have to use it to accept missions and rewards!”
Fang Yuan nodded his head, and a jade inscription plate appeared in front of him.
”It's done!”
Meng Lian clapped her hands and smiled. ”The mission to bring in a new member is complete! Realm Spirit, my reward!”
”Whoosh!”
On her hands appeared a jade inscription plate which was similar to Fang Yuan's. However, there were a few golden words written on it, which made it look mysterious.
