Chapter 255: Chapter 242 [Turning Dreams into Reality, The Way of Kunpeng] (Please Subscribe)

Kunpeng began to speak, and a glint of sharp light instantly burst forth from Xuanqing’s eyes, as the boundless power of destiny interwove, attempting to pierce through the future obscured by the fog of cause and effect.

At a certain point in the future, Kunpeng’s Self-Corpse reincarnated into the Human Race, known as Zhenren Nanhua, embarking on a path of enlightenment through the Dream Dao.

Zhuang Zhou dreams of a butterfly, the butterfly dreams of Zhuang Zhou.

Xuanqing had never understood before why Kunpeng, naturally mastering both Wind and Water Daos and blessed with unique advantages, would eventually choose to prove the Dao with dreams?

Now it seems that it was entirely influenced by the will of the Human Dao and Pangu’s Dream.

"So that’s how it is!"

Xuanqing suddenly realized, recognizing that Kunpeng asked for his protection for the purpose of proving the Dao through dreams.

It should be known that within the Primordial World, there are not a few beings who delve into the Dream Great Dao, such as the Buddhist Jieyin Daoist, the Mirage Dragon of the Dragon Clan, and the Dream Demon of the Demon Clan, all researching the path of transforming void into reality.

The Mirage Dragon and the Dream Demon are not so concerning, for even though they possess the strength of Primordial Golden Immortals, overall, their power is still not on par with Kunpeng!

The most troublesome is the Buddhist Jieyin Daoist. Should the latter obstruct the path, it would be near impossible for Kunpeng to prove the Dao through dreams.

The reason is simple!

The Jieyin Daoist also wishes to prove the Dao through dreams. A Great Dao can only birth one Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal. If Kunpeng succeeds in doing so, then the efforts of the Jieyin Daoist over the years would be in vain!

"These two were born to be adversaries!"

Xuanqing’s eyebrows slightly frowned as he inwardly sighed, remembering that during their time listening to the Dao at the Purple Cloud Palace, Jieyin Daoist had forcibly occupied Kunpeng’s cushion. Now that Jieyin Daoist has betrayed the Heavenly Dao in favor of the Earth Dao, researching the Dream Great Dao, some greater forces have influenced him to become Kunpeng’s Dao competitor!

Between Kunpeng and the Jieyin Daoist, only one was destined to prove the Dao through dreams.

As the Jieyin Daoist is a Saint of the Earth Dao, his strength undoubtedly surpasses that of Kunpeng. However, with the favoritism of the Human Dao’s will, as well as the opportunity within Pangu’s Dream, Kunpeng might not be unable to contest with the Jieyin Daoist.

Yet the Jieyin Daoist is not without allies; should a dispute over the Great Dao erupt between him and Kunpeng, the Saint Zhunti would naturally support the Jieyin Daoist.

Therefore, Kunpeng considered using the suppression of fifteen Yuan Conferences in the Arctic to exchange for Xuanqing’s protection, thereby reducing the influence of external forces on him.

"Dream Butterfly!"

With a loud shout from Kunpeng, three trails of flowing light suddenly flew from his hand, turning into three cyan butterflies, and then dissolving into specks of light that landed upon the trio.

This was the materialization of the Dream Great Dao.

In an instant, Xuanqing and Tai Xuan felt a mysterious force trying to pull their Primordial Spirits into a vast dreamscape.

"Two Daoist friends, please follow me!"

Kunpeng nodded slightly. A streak of spiritual light promptly shot from his Primordial Spirit, leading the way and guiding the consciousnesses of Xuanqing and Tai Xuan into Pangu’s Dream.

This dreamscape exists neither within worlds nor within the Three Realms but lies between the real and the void. Within it, lights flicker on and off, its vastness rivaling the Primordial World.

"Is this..."

Tai Xuan was somewhat incredulous.

Because within this dreamscape, he saw many beings that had long perished, like Shen Ni, Ancestor Dragon, and individuals like Emperor Jun and Donghuang Taiyi.

He even saw himself, as well as Ling Guang, Meng Zhang, and the Guarding Generals.

Kunpeng immediately explained: "All these are things evolved within the dreamscape, perhaps incarnations within Pangu’s heart, part of a timeline in the Primordial World; most beings from the Primordial are present here!"

Xuanqing nodded slightly: "This seems to be Pangu’s ideal Primordial World. Although there are some differences, the Innate Sacred within the Primordial World are further organizing and perfecting it. Buzhou Mountain has not collapsed, and there’s no trace of reincarnated beings like Hong Jun and Luo Hou among the Chaos God Demons!"

With the vast and boundless Divine Thought of a Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, it was but a moment’s work for Xuanqing’s Divine Thought to get a rough understanding of this dreamscape.

"That’s right!"

Upon hearing this, Kunpeng nodded: "Indeed, as Daoist Xuanqing said, this dreamscape seems too perfect, giving off an illusionary and unreal sensation. If you slay these beings of the dreamscape, they would reappear the next time you enter the dream!"

"Of course, what we currently see is just the first layer of this dreamscape."

"This dreamscape has three layers. The first is the illusory Primordial World, and the second is the scene of Pangu’s battle against the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods!"

"As for the third layer, it is Pangu’s central Dantian, the legendary Yellow Court Secret Realm that connects all beings, which is also where the will of the Human Dao resides!"

"In the first two layers, you may exchange blows with those Innate Sacred or Chaos Demon Gods, or you can observe the various Great Daos they contain."

"But..."

"These Great Daos are all illusory, and to transform them from the void into reality, you must either control the entire dreamscape or attain the status of Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal through the Dream Dao."

The reason Kunpeng stayed in Beiming all these years, besides studying the "River Map" and the "Luo Book," was to engage in combat with these existences in the dreamscape.

The beings of the first layer of the dreamscape had basically all been researched by him, and they were generally weaker than those in the Primordial World.

Moreover, in the first layer of the dream realm, there are no Saints; with Kunpeng’s current strength, he can sweep through it with ease. This is also why Kunpeng’s cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds.

As for the beings of the second layer, they are all Chaos Demon Gods. Even though they are weaker than the real Chaos Demon Gods, Kunpeng’s strength is still not enough to contend with them.

He could only observe from a distance, witnessing the great war between Pangu and the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods.

Here, Xuanqing saw the Fate Demon God of his previous life, as well as the figures of Hong Jun, Yang Mei, Luo Hou, Yin Yang, and Qian Kun, among others.

Under Kunpeng’s guidance, Xuanqing and Tai Xuan delved deeper, passing through the first and second layers of the dream realm, finally reaching the location of the Human Dao’s will.

Unlike the Earth Dao’s will located in the Creation Origin Sea, the Human Dao’s will resides in the Yellow Court Secret Realm, which more closely resembles a palace complex formed by countless wills.

"Human Race, Demon Clan, Witch Clan, Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, Qilin Clan, Feathered Clan, Kun Clan..."

Xuanqing looked at the palace complex and a divine light suddenly shot out from his eyes; each palace within represented one of the races in the Primordial World.

The marks of the myriad races of the Primordial have together constructed this palace complex where the will of the Human Dao dwells.

And the most magnificent among this complex is undoubtedly the palace that symbolizes the Human Race.

The Human Race is now the protagonist of heaven and earth, favored by both Heavenly and Earthly Dao, accumulating Infinite Destiny, standing out among the palace complex like a crane among chickens.

"Human Dao!"

Xuanqing looked towards the core of the palace complex, only to see a golden light emerge, surrounded tightly by the phantasms of the myriad races of the Primordial.

Before them, a chasm appeared, seemingly narrow, yet between them and the Human Dao lay eons worth of time and space.

Clearly, this was the self-protection of the Human Dao, fearing that Xuanqing and his companions might harm it.

The Human Dao is now even weaker than the Earth Dao, as the top cultivators of the Primordial have either sided with the Heavenly Dao or are leaning towards the Earth Dao, naturally integrating the destiny of the Human Dao into the two.

The Human Dao has been feigning death precisely because it hopes that the two, Heavenly and Earth Dao, will injure each other, so that it can take the opportunity to snatch back the authorities that belong to the Human Dao.

However, now that Xuanqing has discovered its existence, it can no longer continue hiding!

Boom!

Within the third layer of the dream, a thunderous explosion rings out; a Divine Thought flies into Xuanqing’s mind, the light flashes by, and the Yellow Court Secret Realm vanishes without a trace.

"What happened?"

Tai Xuan looked at Xuanqing with confusion: "Wasn’t the Human Dao supposed to meet us? Why has it disappeared?"

Xuanqing, perceiving the message in his mind, smiled: "Its purpose has been achieved! It’s only worried about being discovered by the Heavenly Dao, that’s all!"

"After all, Daoist Tai Xuan, you are now a Heavenly Dao Saint with your Primordial Spirit entrusted to the Heavenly Dao!"

The Human Dao’s willingness to approach Xuanqing stems from two reasons: first, it contains half of the Origin Power of the Fate Demon God, and second, because Xuanqing is a Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, not bound by the Heavenly Dao.

Just now, the Human Dao has made a deal with Xuanqing, promising that Xuanqing could freely enter and exit Pangu’s Dream like Kunpeng, while Xuanqing in return, needs to help the Human Dao accomplish a task.

"Let’s go!"

With a slight smile from Xuanqing, the three of them left Pangu’s Dream, their consciousness returning to their true selves, as if everything that just happened was but an illusion.

Xuanqing looked towards Kunpeng: "I wonder when Daoist Kunpeng plans to achieve enlightenment? When the time comes, both Daoist Tai Xuan and I will protect you!"

"No rush!"

Kunpeng shook his head: "The time is not right! Although I’ve Slashed the Three Corpses, it will take at least several eons of meticulous work until the Three Corpses United."

He was born with control over the Wind and Water Daos; when Slashing the Three Corpses, he did not use any Innate Spiritual Treasure, instead relying on his own Innate Origin - the Good Corpse as Kun, the Evil Corpse as Peng, and his Self Corpse as Dream Daoist. It will take some time for these three to be fully polished.

His path is one of Transforming Void into Reality, somewhat similar to Xuanqing’s refining the false into true, but his adversary is Jieyin, a Saint of the Earth Dao.

Absolute preparation is necessary.

Upon hearing this, Xuanqing nodded immediately: "Should you need someone to protect the Dao, just say the word! I’m just curious whether you plan to use the power of the Human Dao to become a Saint of the Human Dao, or to achieve enlightenment as a Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal?"

Kunpeng, favored by the Human Dao, has the opportunity to become a Saint of the Human Dao, but after contemplating the Innate Sacred Daos in Pangu’s Dream, as long as he can Transform Void into Reality, he may also achieve enlightenment as a Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal!

"Why not have both?"

Kunpeng immediately smiled: "The way of the Saint is a Dao, and the path of a Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal is also a Dao. Since this is the case, why can’t one attain both?"

Kunpeng knew that his following in the Primordial was decent, but compared to The Three Pure Ones and those Chaos God Demons, there was still a huge gap, and the ordinary path would never lead to enlightenment.

Therefore, he intends to first use the power of the Human Dao to complete his foundation, then Transform Void into Reality, and achieve enlightenment as a Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal with the Dream Great Dao.

As for becoming a Saint of the Human Dao, whether there will be any constraints is not something he needs to consider right now!

One step at a time!
