451 Master, I Had a Dream (1/2)
The vast cosmos was filled with dazzling stars, swirling galaxies, and the infrequent meteors and adrift dust. They all pointed to how real everything was.
Sudden confusion and bewilderment overwhelmed the recently awakened Wang Baole and shone in his eyes. Before he could speak, the elder standing in front of him turned around. His kind gaze met Wang Baole's eyes, causing Wang Baole to freeze. The elder's voice was like a slight breeze that brushed past Wang Baole's body and sank into his soul. It made Wang Baole shudder suddenly…
Then… a flood of memories surged in his mind. It swept away his bewilderment and the remnants of his dreamscape. He seemed to have truly awakened then. He remembered his name in those dreams. He was called… Wang Baole!
He had come from the planet Sang Lun and had entered the Dark Sect when he was seven years old, becoming a disciple of the Dark Sect's inner sect. The elder before him was his master, one of the nine Grand Elders of the current generation of the Dark Sect!
He was called… Ming Kunzi!
He was his master's youngest disciple. His master had brought him away from the Dark Planet to a planet that was about to pass. They were headed there to ferry the dead souls on behalf of the Heavenly Dao. They were to bring balance to life and death.
To guide souls to their rebirth, that was the Dark Sect's mission. The Dark Sect wielded the power of death in the universe, which was why the disciples of every generation needed to learn the ways to ferry the dead. That was why his master had brought him along, so that he might witness the entire process with his own eyes and gain greater knowledge of the Dark Art.
All his memories surged to his mind at that moment, and Wang Baole took a deep breath. He was no longer lost but fully awake. However, he still couldn't forget what he had dreamt. As his master looked at him with kind eyes and spoke to him in a kind voice, Wang Baole got to his feet hastily and bowed.
”Master… I had a dream just now. When I woke up, I was slightly lost, and I couldn't tell if everything that had happened in the dream was true or merely an illusion,” Wang Baole said. He felt uneasy since he had fallen asleep in front of his master. He might get a scolding from the latter for that.
The elder gazed meaningfully at Wang Baole, then shook his head and smiled.
”What dream?”
”Ah?” Wang Baole released a sigh of relief when he realized his master didn't intend to reprimand him. After some thought, Wang Baole began to recall everything that had happened in his dream. The look in his eyes gradually grew distant. He seemed to be remembering. After a long while, he spoke softly.
”Master, it was a strange dream. In the dream… I was also called Wang Baole, but I wasn't in the Dark Sect. I don't know how many years had passed, but I was on a planet called Earth…”
”The greatest sect there was something called the Federation… I remember that in my dream, I had an ambition, I wanted to become the Federation President… Right, the Federation President was something like the sect lord of that sect.” After saying that, Wang Baole seemed slightly embarrassed. He felt his ambition in his dreams was quite a load of rubbish.
”Don't misunderstand, master. This isn't a case of my thoughts in the day appearing in my dreams at night. My dream is to become the sect lord of the Dark Sect, this will never change. Who cares about the Federation President? It's just a whole load of dog sh*t!” Wang Baole hurriedly thudded his chest and proclaimed loudly.
The elder stared at Wang Baole, with what was seemingly a smile on his face. He didn't say anything.
Wang Baole seemed slightly sheepish when he saw the smile on his master's face. He thought about changing the subject and hurriedly said, ”Master, don't you find it strange? I, Wang Baole, am the most good looking in the entire Dark Sect. In my dream, I was also the most good looking in the entire Federation. In my dream, countless beautiful women went head over heels for me. They adored me and wanted to have my children… what a chore!” Wang Baole sighed.
”Master, I'm already living like this in the Dark Sect, I've had enough of it. Who knew that it would be the same in my dreams. What do you think I should do? I'm so troubled.” Wang Baole had intended to change the topic, but as he went on, he became distracted by his own words. The expression on the elder beside him grew strange. In the end, he could listen to Wang Baole no more, so he coughed.
The sound of the cough echoed in Wang Baole's mind and interrupted what he was saying.
”Baole, we've arrived.” As he said that, the elder raised his right hand towards the skies before them and waved. A loud deafening boom thundered in what had been a peaceful starlit sky. It seemed unable to withstand the elder's power. It was as if a pair of invisible hands had ripped the skies apart, and an enormous tear appeared in the heavens before the elder!
It was as long as a planet and split open like a wide chasm. One could hardly see where it ended if one stood too near it. From afar, it looked like a scar inflicted on the universe!Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.
The sight sent Wang Baole reeling in shock. His breathing quickened. He couldn't imagine the extent of power required to create such an awesome sight. Not to mention, the elder had only waved his hand.
