CHAPTER 377: CHAPTER 350 THE GREAT POET_4

She recalled the instructions from her clan’s great-aunt, who had told her to find an opportunity to trade the Dragon Sparrow Zither Holy Artifact with Hong Yuan.

The next moment, her eyes sparkled with seductive charm, and she instantly devised a plan.

"Erm... This..." Stuttering for a moment, the White Fox Fairy hemmed and hawed, deliberately trailing off. With a resigned, wry smile, she said, "I might as well share a secret art with everyone. This art is connected to Dream Tao and is called the ’Dream Spring Illusion Skill’."

"The ’Dream Spring Illusion Skill’ is a beautiful and chaotic illusion woven when the opponent falls asleep and enters a dream. It tugs at their vitality and soul, leading them to death amidst indulgence..."

As she explained the cultivation method for this secret art, she gazed at Hong Yuan with affectionate eyes, full of allure, as if she were his for the taking.

Her beauty was exceptional. Now, as she exposed her mature and coquettish side, she became even more devastatingly attractive. At this moment, Wei Qin was staring at her with wide eyes.

Damn fox seductress! Shameless creature! AH—I will discipline her! cried the Sky-connecting Tower Spirit in the Mysterious Space, only to be hurriedly held back by the Great Moon Spirit.

Although Hong Yuan’s face was as calm as an ancient well, his eyes brightened, and his heart grew very greedy.

He was not greedy for her beauty, but for the Dream Tao Marks!

Worth it, so worth it! This trip was completely worth it! Hong Yuan was inwardly ecstatic.

From this "Dream Spring Illusion Skill," he thought of the ’Dream Comes True’ Divine Power.

He had finally found a school akin to Dream Tao—the long-neglected Illusion Tao!

In an instant, he recalled the Illusion Tao Cultivation Technique given to him by the Spirit Fox Tao, and the Illusion Tao Divine Powers and Demon Skills he had used while incarnated as Han Jiuming.

「Phoenix Creek Sect. Master of Rainbow Fire Peak’s cultivation cave dwelling.」

Hong Yuan’s original body decisively began to cultivate Illusion Tao arts.

The next moment, his Great Emperor Level talent of ninety-five points suddenly took effect.

Multiple phantom images of Illusion Tao Marks appeared in his Aperture, which then coalesced into form.

When he saw the Dream Tao Marks infiltrating the Illusion Tao Marks and transforming them at a ratio of ten to one, the smile on his lips uncontrollably curled upwards.

Every ten Illusion Tao Marks can be transformed into one Dream Tao Mark! WOOHOO! My original body’s Saint Achievement Road in Dream Tao just got a lot faster. Resources for the cultivation of Dream Tao are hard to come by, but resources for Illusion Tao are easy to collect. If I can’t handle Dream Tao, can I not handle you, insignificant Illusion Tao? WAHAHAHA—

Looking at the glowing proficiency panel, Hong Yuan smiled, a great sense of happiness filling his heart.

I should have thought of this earlier! If the demonic body can convert Food Tao Marks, then surely Dream Tao Marks can too!

Thoughts flashed like lightning. The whirl of emotions lasted but a fleeting moment.

Meanwhile, the White Fox Fairy was still explaining the resources needed to cultivate the "Dream Spring Illusion Skill."

Xuan Guangqiao’s eyes are no longer calm; they show great agitation. Is he moved by me? the White Fox Fairy thought to herself, delighted.

She quickly finished explaining the various matters related to the "Dream Spring Illusion Skill."

Then, she recited her poem:

"Spotted shadows through the bamboo grove, with distant wind echoing the remaining sound.

Ripples dance freely upon the waters, branches droop and leaves fall in a colorful descent."

After her words, the room fell into a brief silence, followed by hushed whispers.

A gleam of satisfaction flashed in Wei Qin’s eyes. There’s nothing more toxic than a woman’s heart. Xuan Guangqiao, let’s see how you can compose a verse that dominates the gathering.

Li Jianqiu bit her lower lip. TSK TSK. Xuan Guangqiao has cultivated for a shorter time than I have. According to the information I’ve collected, he has never practiced any Information Tao Demon Skill or Divine Power.

The Flame Sparrow Great Saint lowered his gaze. HISS... Every generation produces talented individuals. These youngsters are all more cunning and ruthless than the last. If Guangqiao hesitates, I will be the first to recite my poem and end this literary contest right away.

The Sky-connecting Tower Spirit snorted. If Daddy fails, watch me change your memories!

In the crowd, the various great demons had their own thoughts.

They were all looking forward to Hong Yuan’s performance.

Some hoped Hong Yuan would make a fool of himself, while others expected him to act shamelessly...

"AHEM." Hong Yuan slowly stood up. He gave the White Fox Demon Saint a deep, meaningful look, causing her scalp to tingle.

He cleared his throat and immediately recited:

"One leaf two leaves, three leaves four, five leaves six leaves, seven and more.

Nine leaves ten leaves, eleven on site, however many leaves I wish to write."

The room went silent, everyone exchanging bewildered looks.

Are you kidding me? What kind of gibberish is this?

"’PFFT! I can’t take this!’ The Sky-connecting Tower Spirit and the Great Moon Spirit, who were peeking at Hong Yuan, couldn’t stop laughing, slapping their stomachs."

"’This... this... this...’ Even the Nine-tailed Crocodile Dragon couldn’t help roaring with laughter."

In the midst of the silence, Wei Qin intended to be the first to laugh at Hong Yuan, but to his surprise, the Flame Sparrow Great Saint beat him to it.

The Flame Sparrow Great Saint, his expression rapt with admiration, exclaimed:

"Brilliant, brilliant, utterly brilliant! This ’One leaf two leaves, three leaves four,’ completely showcases Guangqiao’s relaxed and carefree mindset."

"And this ’however many leaves I wish to write,’ further expresses Guangqiao’s strong confidence in standing against the Human Race."

"Our Demon Clan is blessed by Destiny to have Guangqiao; truly the fortune of heaven, HAHAHA!"

The Flame Sparrow Great Saint’s laughter erupted, and Hong Yuan’s lips twitched slightly.

Hong Yuan nodded silently, indicating his assent.

After the Flame Sparrow Great Saint finished his critique, the exceedingly clever Lin Wenti immediately chimed in, "As everyone knows, one begets two, two beget three, and three beget the infinite. It is clear that the Heavenly Messenger’s understanding of the Great Taoism has reached the pinnacle!"
