498 Arrival (1/2)

The ability to dream-traverse was discovered by dream masters.

By making use of their dream world, dream masters would be able to quickly locate other realms, allowing their True Spirits to descend and harvest the realm. This process allowed the dream masters to quickly advance and become more powerful.

However, all these were gone together with the lost of the dream dao.

”Strictly speaking, dream masters are not the only ones who can move through realms and locate other realms. Realms of higher dimensions are also able to do it to prey on other planes and harvest from them... However, the process of dream-traversing would consume the least energy and allow the dream traverser to gain more rewards, considering the energy exhausted.”

Fang Yuan quickly arranged an array and started to think to himself. ”We have lost all means of communication with the conquered realms. Why does this feel like the weakening of the United Kingdom leading to the independence of its colonies... Of course, the coordinates will never change. If one is willing to pay the price to start from scratch, I'm sure one will be able to find a similar traversing technique while making use of elemental force native to Da Qian instead of using dream elemental force...”

Previously, dream masters heavily guarded this technique to be able to increase their cultivation in a short period of time. Only the foolish would share such a valuable technique with their servants.

Now, it was time to spread this technique.

”Hehe... among all the recordings of the various dream masters, the coordinates of the realm is the most important thing in dream-traversing. I have indeed looted quite a lot from the Divine Lotus Cult this time!”

He was the only one in Da Qian who was able to dream traverse and no one was competing with him. This situation was extremely in his favour.

A tinge of excitement flashed in Fang Yuan's eyes as he began to activate the array.

”Rumble!”

The space around the array shook and the surroundings started to change. It was as though Fang Yuan had arrived into outer space, floating in the universe. The milky way above him glittered brilliantly as each and every star shone brightly in the night sky.

”Every star here represents a coordinate of a realm which the Divine Lotus Cult have discovered. Now, all of these are mine!”

Fang Yuan lowered his head and stretched out his hand, attempting to touch the stars. Suddenly, something drastic happened!

The originally glittering milky way started to dim as the stars began to lose its glow.

”What's happening?”

Fang Yuan's expression changed. Slowly, he realised that even the realms which he had visited before, including the Water Realm, Hui Realm and Planet Earth Realm slowly became unusable, as though he had lost the connection with these past realms.

”What just happened... Did all the realms just disappear?”

He shook his head. ”This is impossible! Therefore, it is not that the coordinates are unusable, but my original location... it has relocated!”

After opening the door which connected the Demonic Heart Realm to Da Qian and the changing of elemental force in Da Qian, everything else was possible.

Even a small change might result in a huge difference to a realm!

After all, the coordinates of the other realms were relative to the location of Da Qian. Now that Da Qian had shifted, the coordinates relative to Da Qian would change too.

”I'm afraid that Da Qian is now attracted by the Demonic Heart Realm and is shifting towards it. It would either become a follower realm to the Demonic Heart Realm or it might just be consumed in the long run...”

Fang Yuan finally understood everything. Although this might only happen in another thousand years, it was still unavoidable!

”The adverse consequences of opening up the door to the Demonic Heart Realm is only showing up slowly...”

Fang Yuan sighed as he started to locate his own realm's location.

Without the accurate relative coordinates, Fang Yuan had to start from scratch! If he wanted to connect Da Qian with the previous realms he had visited before, he would have to spend an extraordinary amount of effort.

”If this is so, I might as well explore a new world! After all, if there are any changes to the dimensions around, this will mean that the neighbouring realms will also undergo changes! Regardless, there is potential everywhere!”

The dream-traversing technique of dream masters included not only the ability to locate realms but also to search for new realms. Sage Changli had demonstrated this before and had once directly searched the coordinates of the Demonic Heart Realm!

Unfortunately, it did not bring prosperity to Da Qian. Instead, it only brought disaster.

”Neighbouring realms are likely to be radiated by dream elemental force... This is a good thing to me, for I will be able to test out a few of my new ideologies!”

Fang Yuan's eyes glistened with excitement.

...

Another month had passed.

Fang Yuan finally had a discovery after many in-depth investigations.

”Indeed... The surroundings of Da Qian are undergoing some changes... To put it in another way, we are now among a new foreign group of realms...”

The new realms confused Fang Yuan for they had the spiritual aura of the Demonic Heart Realm but seemed unaffected by it.

These realms were probably planes which feed on the energy of the Demonic Heart Realm. They were similar to Da Qian and were fortunate enough not to be consumed by the Demonic Heart Realm. Instead, they were developing quite well.

”It's a pity... I can only accurate pinpoint the coordinates of one of these realms!”

Fang Yuan activated the array and felt as though he had arrived in the centre of the universe. A cluster of stars was spread across the vast space.

Unfortunately, these stars appeared illusionary and only had a hint of spiritual aura coming from them.

Only one of them was releasing a dim purple glow in a corner of the universe, resembling a purple eye.

”Do I really only have the coordinates of one realm?”

Fang Yuan sighed.

The exploration of new realms was like buying the lottery. Fang Yuan was fortunate enough to locate a coordinate within a single month.

On the other hand, the 5 Grand Organisations had sent groups of people and spent years and even decades to find nothing. This was the norm!

”This realm... is giving off an inauspicious vibe!”

Just by detecting the spiritual aura of the realm, Fang Yuan felt disappointed. The Purple Eye Realm gave him an eerie feeling and the sense of chaos. In that deep corner...

”No risks, no rewards. The more dangerous the realm is, the more my rewards will be! Furthermore... time passes extremely quick in this realm, which is suitable for me.”

Without hesitation, Fang Yuan announced to his servants that he would remain in isolation. With anticipation, he pressed his finger towards the purple star.

”Rumble!”

The array crumbled and the entire universe started to fade away.
