Chapter 110: Chapter 85: Life Soul Parasite? The Ears and Eyes of Xuantian Sect? (Third update, please subscribe!)

In the introductory Chapter of "Great Dream Spring and Autumn," specifically in the "Dream Interpretation" section, a spell called [Sleeping Bug] is mentioned.

"Just as the physical body has Seven Spirits that harbor parasitic beings, undetectable due to their minuscule nature,"

"so too does the Life Soul have analogous entities within."

"The Sleeping Bug is one such entity."

Zhao Xing read carefully.

By the standards of this era’s combat powers, discovering parasites and the like wasn’t anything unusual, but the idea that ghosts could harbor entities similar to parasites was new to him.

"Great Dream Spring and Autumn also classifies the Life Soul parasites into good and evil types,"

"Are some parasites within the Life Soul benign symbionts, even indispensable, akin to probiotics in the body?" Zhao Xing found the more he read, the more intriguing it became, and couldn’t help but become fascinated.

"The Sleeping Bug belongs to the benign category."

"Without it, the Life Soul would not be able to sleep."

"If the Life Soul cannot rest, the energy of the Seven Spirits will weaken, leading to listlessness."

"If this lack of rest continues, the Seven Spirits will further weaken, leading to death."

"The Sleeping Bug only disappears completely once one reaches the First-grade Realm."

"This is because the three souls merge into one, the soul begins to transform into the Divine Soul, and as one approaches perfection, one’s being starts to reject all foreign entities."

"Is this spell mentioned in the Dream Interpretation section teaching people how to catch Sleeping Bugs?" Zhao Xing was somewhat surprised, as he really didn’t understand this supreme art.

This was the first time he had heard of such a spell.

"Removing someone’s Sleeping Bug to keep them awake, keeping their mind in a state of continual excitement."

"If used properly, it can enhance the ability to sustain combat, but if overdone, the Seven Spirits will weaken, and in such a manner, one can kill someone without any suspicion."

"Hmm? Can it really be used like this?"

Zhao Xing’s eyes lit up.

At first, he had thought the Dream Interpretation Chapter was filled with abstract notions.

Instead, the Dream Interpretation Chapter described the essence of the three souls, deconstructing the soul and dreams, while the interpretation of the dream content was actually secondary.

"The Dream Interpretation Chapter also mentions a beneficial spell,"

"that is, the Dream Storage Technique."

"The Dream Storage Technique can store memory content, preventing the overlooking or forgetting of certain distant or key details."

"In ancient times, powerful cultivators lived for thousands of years, with too many memories; sometimes, they could not distinguish between past and present, which made it easy to lose their minds."

"However, the Dream Storage Technique solves this problem by sealing part of one’s memories within dreams."

"Additionally, the Dream Storage Technique is also applicable to some aspects of cultivation understanding?"

Zhao Xing looked at the description of this skill.

The Dream Interpretation Chapter mentioned that certain natural and mysterious aspects contain the profundity of the Dao.

But the profundity of the Dao is too profound and can be overwhelming at times, causing problems for those who cannot withstand the impact.

The Dream Storage Technique can enhance the cultivator’s resilience; to put it plainly, it has the ability to build memory palaces and expand the brain’s capacity.

"Entering Dreams Chapter also has many wonders," Zhao Xing browsed through the second stage, "Once you understand the essence of dreams, the next step is to enter dreams."

"Enter your own dreams, someone else’s dreams, or pull others into your own dreams."

"However, the Entering Dreams Chapter does not mention any offensive secret techniques; it is mostly used as a method for secret communication," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

For example, as a spy in a foreign land, meeting up or leaving marks or tokens is unsafe.

But passing messages through dreams is much more secretive.

This is the method of sending dreams.

"No wonder it’s always said that ’Yin Gods deliver dreams’; the essence of dreams is the occasional convergence of the three souls,"

Zhao Xing then thought of his [Yin Wind] skill.

"When I used the Yin Wind Skill on Old Chen, Old Chen ended up having a nightmare,"

"It was a clumsy way of manipulating someone’s dream,"

"But the main purpose of the Yin Wind Skill is still for offensive damage."

Zhao Xing felt this supreme art was very much to his liking.

Right away, he began to practice the spells mentioned in the Dream Interpretation.

...

[You observe Soul Armor, ponder the Dream Interpretation of the Great Dream Spring and Autumn, but you gain nothing.]

[You observe Soul Armor, ponder the Dream Interpretation of the Great Dream Spring and Autumn, and you start to understand the soul.]

[You observe Soul Armor, ponder the Dream Interpretation of the Great Dream Spring and Autumn, and after spending a night, you finally enter the threshold and comprehend the spell ’Sleeping Bug.’]

[Sleeping Bug: Intermediate Spell]

[Effect: Remotely capture the Sleeping Bug within the Life Soul.]

[Progress: 0/9999]

...

Just the introductory Chapter alone took Zhao Xing an entire night to grasp.

The Great Dream Spring and Autumn is indeed a top-notch art; even the so-called minor spells like Sleeping Bug and Dream Storage are of intermediate level.

"They are very practical spells."

"It’s just that this Dream Storage Technique is a bit too difficult; I tried it once, and it didn’t work after struggling for ages, and it even made my head spin," Zhao Xing shook his head.

"Let’s try the Sleeping Bug Skill."

The Sleeping Bug was easier to practice.

He just had to target himself.

Zhao Xing focused inward, observing the ’Life Soul’ with the ’Heavenly Soul.’

With his Bright Eyes Technique as a foundation, he easily found the Sleeping Bug in his body.

"Buzz~"

The Sleeping Bug was captured in his hand.

[You have cast the ’Sleeping Bug’ spell once, progress +20]

"The Sleeping Bug spell can be taken in and out, indeed easy to practice," Zhao Xing gently clapped, and the Sleeping Bug re-entered his body.
