Chapter 461: Chapter 40: Utopia [Need Monthly Tickets!]_1

An ancient, aromatic long street where a few old men engaged in idle chatter while fanning themselves could be found sitting by the street. Children ran past in groups, leaving behind a trail of crisp laughter wherever they went.

Half the street was made up of teahouses, filled with people leisurely sipping tea and engaging in idle banter. The faint sounds of mahjong could even be heard from within.

Being there felt incredibly leisurely and satisfying.

Upon waking up, Chu Liang found himself in a medical clinic. Upon exiting the main gate of the clinic, he was greeted by such a scene.

"Dream Fairy Country?"

Confused, he returned to the clinic to find the white-bearded head of the clinic. He had more questions than answers in his head.

In Chu Liang’s memory, he could only recall the group of people searching for the Dream Abyss. They encountered something strange in the abyss and were inadvertently pulled into it. He had expected to plunge deep into the abyss, so how did he suddenly end up here?

"That’s right." The white-bearded doctor answered with a smile, "You two were brought here by a group who found you while they were off hiking in the mountains. Aren’t you folks from my Dream Fairy Country?"

"The two of us? Who else is there?" Chu Liang asked first.

"This young girl." The old man gently pulled aside the curtain, revealing Tang Shi’s petite figure.

Perhaps disturbed by the noise, Tang Shi’s eyelids wrinkled before she slowly opened her eyes.

Then, she fell into the same state of confusion as Chu Liang.

"Dream Fairy Country? Where is this?"

"This is a fairyland created by the Dream Fairy Immortal, said to be far from the outside world. No one has ever been able to leave, nor has anyone ever come in..." the old man introduced gently.

It seemed like even though he had never seen outsiders before, he held no prejudices against them.

"This is really..." Chu Liang scratched his head. "Unexpected."

He had originally thought that behind the Dream Abyss was the same palace on the mountain peak where he had previously met Gu Qingyuan. He heard from Xue Ziyang that it was a ruin of a battlefield... how did it suddenly become the Dream Fairy Country?

As for the Dream Abyss and the Zhennan Region’s Mountain, the old man knew nothing about them. He maintained that he had never heard of such places in the Dream Fairy Country.

Temporarily at a loss, Chu Liang decided to first take Tang Shi out and around to survey the area.

The kind old man from the clinic offered that the pair could return to stay at his place if they had nowhere else to go.

Chu Liang naturally expressed his gratitude.

Afterward, he and Tang Shi left the clinic together, taking in the sights as they walked along the street.

Everywhere they looked, the people of the whole city were doing just that: drinking tea, consuming alcohol, playing mahjong, eating hot pot, children playing games, old men chatting idly, and even the adults doing the same.

"It doesn’t seem like there’s anything strange..." Tang Shi said softly.

"No, it is very strange," Chu Liang shook his head, "Did you not notice... no one here works?"

"Huh?" His words made Tang Shi pause.

Having grown up her entire life in the Immortal Sect, she didn’t have a deep understanding of this concept. But Chu Liang was incredibly sensitive to it.

Not a single person, old or young, was seen working in the entire city. This seemed extremely strange from his perspective.

What was everyone living on?

Harboring doubts, the two returned to the clinic and asked the old man, "Uncle, we’ve walked around the city, but we haven’t seen anyone working. Why is that?"

"Work?" Upon hearing this word, the old man blinked, seeming somewhat unfamiliar with the concept.

"If no one works, where does everything you need for daily life come from?" Chu Liang questioned.

"If you want something, just make a wish at the Sacred Mountain." The old man pointed to the east, "The Divine Envoys who practice the Dream Technique on the mountain will deliver what you want to your home."

Chu Liang looked in the direction where the old man pointed, and through the distant buildings, he could indeed see the shadow of a vast mountain.

Such a place still existed?

Chu Liang blinked.

In surprise, he also felt a twinge of envy.

...

"Huff... Huff..."

Tang Shi sat obediently on a cushion, sipping tea from her cup with small breaths, as wisps of steam slowly rose.

Chu Liang and the old man from the clinic were also sitting there, savoring tea and chatting.

Just then, the old man had detailed the history of the place for them.

Legend has it that thousands of years ago, the Ancient Dream Fairy created this fairyland and guided the ancestors here, forming the Dream Fairy Country ever since.

There were no monarchs, subjects, rich or poor in the Dream Fairy Country. Everyone was born in this leisurely manner, lived indolently, and then died in contentment. Each time a person died, a newborn would come into existence.

Thus, the population of the Dream Fairy Country remained constant.

A portion of these people had the talent to cultivate the "Dream Technique" and would be selected to become Divine Envoys. The Dream Technique was a legacy of the fairy law left behind by the Dream Fairy, which could create something from nothing.

If anyone needed something, they would go to the Sacred Mountain and ask the Divine Envoys to create it, and then someone would deliver it to their home. Of course, if the wish was too outrageous, the Divine Envoys would not fulfill it.

While listening, Chu Liang was also contemplating.

He had previously heard Wei Lang mention the name of the Supreme Ancient Dream Fairy.

Of course, the term ’Fairy’ here does not refer to an actual fairy, but a term used in that era for some of the Eighth Realm Tianyuan cultivators. At that time, the Immortal Dynasty honoured nine fairies, all of whom were the pinnacle cultivators of the Eighth Realm.

The Supreme Ancient Dream Fairy happened to dominate the Nine States with his "Dream Technique". Could this whole Dream Fairy Country have been created by his divine abilities?

"It really is a place like a paradise," he sighed after hearing the story, "No danger, no war, no oppression, no work... you just need to make a wish, really a place that only exists in dreams..."

"Hmm..." The old man showed a serious expression, "The Dream Fairy Country isn’t absolutely safe. I was just about to warn you."

"Oh?" Both of them immediately paid attention.

"Perhaps the original Dream Fairy Country truly was a paradise free from any danger. But about three thousand years ago, a giant demon fell from the sky... The Divine Envoys call it the ’Nightmare’, and the demon transformed into a Demon Mountain."

"Since then, every full moon, the moon in the sky will turn blood-red, and Nightmare Beasts will descend from the Demon Mountain to devour people," the old man showed a look of fear for the first time as he spoke of this, "Those Nightmare Beasts are extremely dreadful in their myriad forms. Fortunately, we still have the Divine Envoys guarding the Dream Fairy Country. As long as we remain alert, we can avoid disaster."

"Blood Moon... Nightmare Beasts..." As Chu Liang listened to these familiar terms, his brows furrowed.

Although it seems to be isolated from the outside world, it seems like there are countless connections. He had a guess in his mind, but he couldn’t confirm it for the time being.

"Oh dear," said the old man abruptly, "tonight seems to be the night of the Blood Moon. You two must stay in my clinic and absolutely must not sleep or go out if you hear any sound. As long as you don’t sleep and don’t go out, the Nightmare Beasts won’t be able to get you."

"Why is that?" Chu Liang inquired.

"That’s the experience we’ve gained from fighting the Nightmare Beasts over the past three thousand years," the old man stated seriously, "If you sleep, the Nightmare Beast will appear from your dreams. If you go out and the light from the Blood Moon shines upon you, you’ll immediately descend into madness and become an existence similar to the Nightmare Beasts."

Hearing this, it suddenly dawned on Chu Liang.

He seemed to understand why a few people had died unexpectedly before!
