Chapter 462: Chapter 41: This is What Martial Arts Practitioners are Like [Seeking Monthly Tickets!]_1
The Blood Moon Ritual turns the illuminated ones into Nightmare Beast-like beings, a fate remarkably similar to those who had exploded earlier, isn’t it?
However, the Kaoshan City residents who saw the blood moon were unaffected, proving that the power of the blood moon only resides in the Void Realm and does not wield magic in reality.
Those people had all visited the Dream Abyss.
It’s likely that while their physical bodies escaped from there, part of their Godly Souls remained in the Void Realm. Once the blood moon reappears, they would fall into madness in the Void Realm again.
The manifestation of the blood moon over Khao Shan city suggests that the entities in the Void Realm have gained the power to affect parts of reality - enough to expand from the Dream Abyss to the outer cities of the Zhennan Region’s Mountain.
With this in mind, he couldn’t help but worry.
He had previously presumed it a normal Secret Realm, considering that the two emissaries from the Demon Sect had reached there, those two powerful figures of the Seventh Realm should not face any issues.
However, the existence behind the Dream Abyss has clearly mastered the Daoist Xushi, its power must be at the Seventh Realm at a minimum, and its peculiarity is extreme... whether Yan Qihu and Wei Lang can deal with it or not remains to be seen.
As for the origin of this secret realm... Ancient Dream Immortal Venerable, Demonic Clan’s Nightmare Demon King, former Little Emperor, Gu Qing Yuan...these entities behind the Dream Abyss are puzzling.
Fortunately, Dream Fairy Country remains a sanctuary where they can take temporary rest. The turmoil in the Dream Abyss is no small matter, even if the two powerful figures cannot handle it, there will certainly be more figures on the Righteous Path who will step in.
He must ensure his own safety at this time.
"Huh..." Tang Shi continued to sip her tea, seemingly enjoying it.
Seeing this, the old man asked with a laugh, "Miss Tang, do you enjoy tea?"
"Not really..." Tang Shi chuckled, somewhat embarrassed, "Isn’t it that we can’t sleep at night? I drink more to keep myself awake."
Martial Artists and cultivators differ slightly in that after Physical Training, Martial Artists need sleep to replenish their strength. Therefore, many cultivators meditate instead of sleeping, but this would not do for a Martial Artist.
But staying awake for one night should not be a problem.
The old man said, "As long as you don’t drink too much tea and are unable to eat lunch, that’s fine."
"That won’t happen." Tang Shi confidently shook her head, "I can eat two cows per meal."
The old man’s eyelid twitched.
Fortunately, Tang Shi did not need to eat two cows in every meal. Martial Artists are like this, eat more to replenish strength when they can, and can go without food for ten or even half a month when they can’t.
The cuisine of the Dream Fairy Country is somewhat monotonous, but not lacking in vegetables or meat, only seasonings and cooking techniques. If Dream Fairy Country has been isolated from the world since the era of Great Dream Fairy thousands of years ago, this primitiveness would be normal.
After the meal, the three of them had a quiet afternoon chat. After learning more about the Dream Fairy Country, Chu Liang and Tang Shi gained a comprehensive understanding of it.
As dusk approaches, people on the street were already ringing gongs, "Tonight is the Blood Moon! Everyone should tightly shut their doors and windows, staying alert! Do not sleep! Do not go out!"
The hustle and bustle of these people caused the peaceful and tranquil atmosphere in the city to tense up.
Since they couldn’t sleep, the old man did not arrange separate rooms for them. He only asked both of them to stay in this quiet room with doors and windows tightened shut through the night and remind each other.
He mentioned that it was better to have someone remind each other during the night of the Blood Moon, in case they dozed off unconsciously.
Chu Liang just smiled at this.
As a cultivator, his Godly Soul was strong. Not sleeping for a month was not a problem. Tang Shi as a Martial Artist, her Essence and Spirit were as intense as the sun; naturally it was nothing extraordinary...
Wait a minute?
Just as Chu Liang was thinking, he noticed the young girl’s head drooping, swaying from side to side... She was falling asleep already!
Isn’t the sun not fully set yet?
"Wake up..." He quickly patted Tang Shi’s shoulder, "Miss Tang?"
"Oh." Tang Shi woke up abruptly, giving a bashful smile, "I’m sorry, I get drowsy easily at night..."
"It’s okay to be drowsy now, just don’t fall asleep later." Chu Liang reminded her.
"I won’t!" Tang Shi confidently shook her head, picked up the teapot and took a few gulps, then put it down and said, "I will definitely not give the Nightmare Beasts a chance!"
...
Nightfall.
The houses in Dream Fairy Country all had special designs; their doors and windows were tightly closed with several thick layers of curtains to ensure that the moonlight from the outside wouldn’t penetrate even a bit, even sounds were blocked well, making the inside of the house extremely quiet.
Chu Liang sat cross-legged on the floor, immersing his Divine Sense into the White Pagoda, and began to reward himself.
This time he killed a lot more Reaper Ghosts than before, about thirty or so. If all these were refined into Ghost Bone Inch Gold Pills, he believed that creating a Golden Right Hand wouldn’t be a problem.
He had plenty of leisure right now, so he decided to refine all the marks of the Reaper Ghosts.
After the refining, he withdrew his Divine Sense and took a glance at Tang Shi, intending to take the pill when she wasn’t paying attention.
But as he looked over, he saw the young girl sitting there, her eyes fluttering closed, about to fall asleep!
"Miss Tang!"
Good grief, how hard is it to stay awake for a little while?
You’re only a teenager and can’t stay up late?
Chu Liang hurriedly stepped forward to hold Tang Shi’s shoulders, shaking her awake vigorously.
"Ah!" The young girl opened her eyes, immediately jolted awake and hurriedly said, "I almost fell asleep again!"
"Yeah." Chu Liang said with a wry smile, "Is it really that hard?"
"I’ll be fine if I stand up." Tang Shi stood upright, while murmuring to herself, "I’ve always been prone to dozing off since I was a child. Sometimes, I even fall asleep during training. Every time I doze off, my master would punish me by making me stand..."
"It’s like that for martial artists. It must have been hard for you. But during this special period, let’s fight back." Chu Liang could only advise.
Seeing Tang Shi standing there with a serious face, vowing not to sit down, he was then reassured.
He himself sat down at the desk and began to take out and consume the Ghost Bone Inch Gold Pills one by one.
Following the previous process, after taking the elixir, he refined the spiritual energy and converged it to his right palm.
After a while, he felt a strong sensation permeate his entire palm.
Golden Right Hand, accomplished!
Chu Liang clenched his empty hand into a fist, feeling that its strength was almost the same as before when it was reinforced by the Geng Metal True Qi. If it were reinforced again, it would surely take another step forward.
It’s just a pity that it’s not convenient to test its power now.
As he was thinking, he suddenly heard a steady breathing sound.
Looking back, Tang Shi was unknowingly leaning against the wall, her eyes already closed!
She could sleep standing up?
Chu Liang never expected this challenge. They haven’t even got to the stage of battling the Nightmare Beast yet, and she almost surrendered herself several times.
"Miss Tang..." he hurried over and woke Tang Shi up again.
"Ah, Ah, Ah!" When Tang Shi woke up again, her face turned red and she lowered her head in embarrassment, "I’m sorry, I, I, I maybe I was too nervous, and that’s why I’m sleepy."
"It’s okay, it’s not uncommon for martial artists to be like this." Chu Liang could only express his sympathy and proposed, "Why don’t you prop your eyelids open?"
The young girl obediently agreed to this proposal.
She carefully whittled two small wooden sticks from the wooden table and propped them in the middle of her eyelids. For a martial artist’s physique, not blinking for a short time wasn’t a problem. If she falls asleep again, she might be invaded by a Nightmare from her dream, and that would be serious.
According to the elder, if one is bathed in the Blood Moonlight, they will turn into a Nightmare Beast; if a Nightmare enters their dream, it will induce illusions that are hard to dispel.
Many people are tricked by the illusion into leaving their rooms and bathing in the moonlight. At that point, they will be attacked from both inside and outside, leaving no chance of survival.
He watched the young girl for a while. Seeing her smile at him, apparently without any sleepiness, Chu Liang could finally sit down with peace of mind.
He was about to chat with her to prevent her from relaxing and feeling sleepy again. However, they had already been chatting for quite some time, and he did not know what else to say.
He only wished Lin Bei or Pu Shan were sitting beside him.
Just as Chu Liang was pondering, he suddenly heard the sound of animal roars from a distance, and faint cheers.
It seemed like a wild beast had come down from the mountains.
Were there people active outside?
Could they be the envoys practicing dream techniques on the Sacred Mountain?
Curious, Chu Liang sent his divine sense out to investigate, but the sounds came from a distance. Before his divine sense could reach there, he heard a soft snoring sound in his ears.
"Hu...Hu..."
Hmm?
Chu Liang was suddenly alarmed.
Turning back, he found Tang Shi standing there, her eyes open, and making soft snoring sounds!
Who does that? Sleep with their eyes open?
Oh my goodness.
"Miss Tang..."
Just as he was about to go forward to wake Tang Shi again, he saw her twisting her head towards him.
Her eyes were filled with a blood-red color!
