CHAPTER 237: CHAPTER 227 THE TERROR OF DREAM TAO, FORGING OF THE LIFE TAO SEED

In the first image, Han Jiuming, clad in a blue robe, controlled the Flood Gathering War Banner and used the Skill of Turning Water into Matter.

After that, he channeled the Demon Essence within him, switching the skill from Turning Water into Form to Form of Ice, adding a variety of change...

In the second image, Han Jiuming revealed his true form of the Ice Armor Python, honing his trump card:

The Tao Species Flood Gathering War Banner, Innate Divine Ability Cold Moon Seal, and the true form of the Ice Armor Python all unleashed their power at once, their might approaching that of a Demon Saint...

The third image, the fourth image...

One scene followed another, and in a trance, Hong Yuan felt as if he’d gone through Han Jiuming’s arduous cultivation process, gaining an understanding of Ice Tao out of thin air.

This is the terror of Dream Tao!

Rumors say the Great Dream Emperor will be the strongest Great Emperor in history. Looking at this, it’s indeed possible to reach the pinnacle of all schools of cultivation with the help of Dream Tao, Hong Yuan thought, amazed.

He had begun to experience the benefits of the dream realm.

Unfortunately, the Tao Marks of Dream Tao had not yet formed in the world, and the school of Dream Tao was without even a shadow.

After absorbing Han Jiuming’s insights, Hong Yuan opened his eyes, a flash of ice gleaming in them.

CRACKLE...

The training room seemed to flash with a frost thunder, suddenly illuminating the dim room.

"Form of Ice—Ice Armor Python!"

Hong Yuan shook the Flood Gathering War Banner, and in an instant, a small Ice Armor Python appeared in the training room, lifelike and majestic.

Since the Ice Armor Python is a Variant Seed of Ice Tao, the strength of the ice beast Ice Armor Python that Hong Yuan created using Form of Ice was even stronger than the water beast Ice Armor Python.

After fiddling for a while, Hong Yuan had finally understood the differences between Turning Water into Form and Form of Ice.

It was the enhancement of Water Tao Marks and Ice Tao Marks!

As Hong Yuan pondered, he felt a strange movement within him.

Upon introspection, he discovered that the two Divine Skill Talismans of the Myriad Silence Realm and the Cold Moon Seal were actually beginning to touch each other.

They were fusing!

Fusing? Could it be they’re about to advance to an Earth-level Divine Power? Hong Yuan’s eyes sparkled with excitement.

He was well aware of the might of an Earth-level Divine Power.

Because the trump card of Sword Tao’s Incarnation Bo Qing was the Earth-level Divine Power, Ancient Sword Dragon Transformation.

Before Hong Yuan could continue to investigate, the next moment, his consciousness fell into a daze.

SNAP! The fourth dream scene shattered.

Hong Yuan arrived at the fifth dream scene.

In the dim training room, Hong Yuan slowly opened his eyes.

He shook his head and looked around.

Only when he saw the special sandglass on the wooden desk in the corner had only advanced by one-tenth did Hong Yuan secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

It’s only been ten years, thankfully, thankfully,

Master Heavenly River could live for only a bit more than a hundred years. If the fifth dream scene had flashed by, making him face Tianli directly, well, he would have had to log off early.

Sitting cross-legged on the Taoist Mat, Hong Yuan sensed his current state.

He was at the fifth-order intermediate realm. The Flood Gathering War Banner was fully inscribed with array patterns, and its Ninety-Nine Huangqu Array had become a top-tier fifth-order large array. His storage bag contained a variety of materials for forging a Life Tao Seed.

Hm!? Fifth-order intermediate cultivation level?

Hong Yuan suddenly opened his eyes wide, his pupils dilating.

He had always assumed that the cultivation level in the dream realm was based on his own real-world cultivation, but it now seemed this was not the case!

DING! DING DING DING!

The wind chimes outside the training room rang urgently, and the rapid sound of the chimes pulled Hong Yuan out of his contemplation.

Han Kui and Kun Rong are coming together. What is this about... Hong Yuan thought, puzzled.

Activating the hand seal, the Energy Array started to operate, and the stone door opened.

Kun Rong looked at Hong Yuan anxiously and hurriedly said, "Senior brother, you’ve been dragging this out for nearly three years now. Master is asking if you’ve decided what Life Tao Seed to forge."

"If you keep procrastinating, Master’s patience is going to run out. Then you’ll have to explore and forge the Life Tao Seed by yourself."

"The forging of a Life Tao Seed is extremely difficult without Master’s help, and we would have a hard time getting started. If you end up with nothing, it would be such a waste. Why don’t you just choose the Sky-connecting Tower?"

Kun Rong and Han Kui looked worried, while Hong Yuan’s expression remained calm.

He nodded occasionally, while his mind was racing.

Deciding what Life Tao Seed to forge requires Master’s help... It seems this dream scene is about forging my own Life Tao Seed, Hong Yuan quickly arrived at an answer.

Having experienced numerous dreams, he had cultivated the ability to break dreams with pinpoint accuracy.

Hong Yuan had absolute faith in his own deduction.

"Sky-connecting Tower... let me think about it again. The Life Tao Seed is a grave matter; it cannot be decided hastily," Hong Yuan said, rubbing his temples as if "troubled."

The moment Kun Rong heard Hong Yuan’s words, she became frustrated and said impatiently, "Think, always thinking! You’ve been pondering for nearly three years, and I refuse to believe you have no ideas at all. Let go of that perfect ideal and try to focus on one aspect."

Ideas... he mused. Of course, he had ideas. His main idea was to forge a Life Tao Seed that could harmonize with his Demon Beast True Body and Innate Divine Ability.

Without a doubt, this Life Tao Seed had to involve the Water Tao as well as Ice Tao, and it might even include the Tao of Great Moon.

But the problem was, Hong Yuan had not yet decided on the materials for the Life Tao Seed, what form it should take, or what Array Pattern Talisman to engrave.

A multitude of tasks awaited Hong Yuan’s attention.

Looking at his junior sister, who represented Master’s will, Hong Yuan also understood that this was Master’s way of chiding him through his junior sister, a reminder for him.

The goal was to tell him not to be overly ambitious, but to stay grounded and practical.

It seems I must give a definite answer now, Hong Yuan thought. He then said to Kun Rong, "Junior sister, it’s not that I’m greedy, but I am truly in a difficult position. Give me one more month, the final month!"

Kun Rong was furious.

One month after another, how many times had she wheedled on behalf of this shameless senior brother to their Master?

She felt embarrassed to wheedle before their Master again, and now this shameless senior brother was planning to deceive her once more.

"Impossible, you must give me an answer today—"

"Half a month."

"What?"

"Ten days, just ten days! Junior sister, help me, help me one more time. This time I will definitely be able to do it."

Hong Yuan said confidently, his eyes ablaze with proud flames, like a gambler personified.

That kind of gambler who had lost it all yet still firmly believed they could turn the tides.

But actually, he did have a method to turn things around, for he had the heritage of Wisdom Tao, a heritage that was as high as the fifth order!

Kun Rong’s brow furrowed, and she was about to flatly refuse. She did not believe this shameless senior brother would keep his word.

Yet at that moment, Han Kui tugged at her sleeve, drawing her attention.

Speaking softly, Han Kui said, "Kun Rong, give Jiuming another ten days. He will definitely succeed."

"Really?" Kun Rong hesitated.

"Really!" Han Kui asserted with conviction.

Because Han Kui noticed that the composed and seemingly in-control "devil" figure of Jiuming had returned.

She was all too familiar with this aura because it was the "devil" Jiuming who had rescued her from the Ten Thousand Demon Holy Land.

"Hmph, for Han Kui’s sake, I’ll try to get you ten more days. But if it still doesn’t work out, you’ll have to figure it out on your own," Kun Rong pouted, leaving in a huff.

Watching Kun Rong leave, Hong Yuan expressed his gratitude to Han Kui.

"Thank you."

"No need, no need, Jiuming, please go on with your tasks," Han Kui said sweetly, waving her hand to dismiss Hong Yuan’s thanks.

It was at this moment that Hong Yuan realized Han Kui’s value.

No wonder, in the previous dream scene, he had to bring Han Kui along.
