Gong Qian had the highest cultivation and was the leader, so he walked at the front. Tang Zhong was big-headed and said that the team wouldn’t have any problems with him around, so he walked at the end. Xu Shenyan was in the second, and Lan Xiaobu followed Xu Shenyan to walk in the third.
As soon as the four of them entered the Great Dream Hall, the surroundings just changed, and underneath everyone’s feet was actually a desert.
Lan Xiaobu immediately frowned, it couldn’t be, this was a great hall, a desert inside a great hall? The Cosmic Dimensional Mode immediately began to build the dimensional mode structure of the surrounding space.
In a short period of time, the Cosmic Dimensional Mode built out the dimensional mode structure of this place, it was not a desert, but a Dream Realm Grand Formation. A Dream Realm Grand Formation was different from an Illusion Formation, after entering a Dream Realm Grand Formation, if one didn’t wake up for a long time, they would completely sink into it.
Lan Xiaobu all but constructed the dimensional mould structure and waited for a while longer before Gong Qian came to his senses, he raised his hand and grabbed out a talisman and threw it out.
Seeing this talisman, Lan Xiaobu didn’t move, it was a God Returning Talisman, considered a third level divine talisman.
The talisman exploded in space, transforming into a clear dao sound. The dao sound landed on several people, and both Xu Shenyan and Tang Zhong came to their senses. At this moment, in everyone’s eyes, the desert disappeared and was replaced by a green stone path. The path meandered, stretching into the distance.
Gong Qian said in a deep voice, “Everyone don’t need to worry, this is an illusionary formation, this illusionary formation can lead to the seventy-two cave heavens, and when we arrive at the seventy-two cave heavens that’s where we’ll look for our chance. There are no dangers along the way, all dangers will only appear after entering the Cave Heaven.”
Gong Qian’s words were actually spoken to Lan Xiaobu, whether it was Xu Shenyan or Tang Zhong, it was clear that this was not the first time they had come here, so naturally they would not be alarmed and worried, but it was Lan Xiaobu’s first time here.
Lan Xiaobu kept laying down void formation patterns along the way, the Cosmic Dimensional Mode had been building the surrounding dimensional mode structure. This was the place of the Great Dream Sage, he didn’t dare to be careless at all.
The green stone path was only halfway along when Lan Xiaobu’s face changed. After sensing the dimensional mould structure of the Cosmic Dimensional Mould, his entire body was also in a state of security, as if he had snapped out of some sort of emotion.
Because the Cosmic Dimensional Mode had built out the dimensional mode structure of this piece, this was still not a green stone path, but a grey soil path that kept going down. The reason why Gong Qian and the others felt that this was a verdant stone path was because they had entered another dream world from one after returning the divine talisman.
He was awake because of the dimensional mould structure constructed by the cosmic dimensional mould, while the others were still in the dream world. This meant that as long as he knew what this place was, then this dream realm would have no effect on him.
If this dream realm continued, then that meant that all the cultivators who entered the forty-sixth floor of the Earth Dream Tower’s Great Dream Hall were merely wandering around in the dream realm before coming out again.
If it was purely a dream realm, then it would be impossible to obtain something. In other words, in this dream world of the Great Dream Hall, some of the cultivators could still obtain something for real.
This was terrifying, if these dream realms were controlled by the Great Dream Sage, wouldn’t it be that the Great Dream Sage could take out whomever he wanted? And all these cultivators who entered the Great Dream Hall were just providing cultivation resources to the Great Dream Saint.
Thinking of this, Lan Xiaobu’s divine thoughts landed on Gong Qian, who was carefully leading the way in front, but Lan Xiaobu clearly felt that there was something wrong with the other party’s eyes, it was a look that was in a semi-confused state. Not only Gong Qian, Xu Shenyan and Tang Zhong were the same.
That meant that right now, among the four, three of them were between half-dreaming and half-awake, and he was the only one who was awake.
“Fellow Daoist Gong ……,” Lan Xiaobu called out to Gong Qian.
“…… “Gong Qian looked back at Lan Xiaobu somewhat sluggishly before asking in confusion, “Fellow Daoist Lan, what is it?”
Lan Xiaobu secretly sighed, if he wanted to assassinate Gong Qian, he wouldn’t need to make any extra movements at all, he could just directly offer up his magic treasure.
“Does Fellow Daoist Gong feel that there is something wrong here?”Lan Xiaobu purposely used a dao voice when he spoke.
Gong Qian was shocked, and his eyes seemed to clear up a bit, but then he said, “What’s wrong? I’ve been here once, and less than a hundred feet further on is the Seventy-Two Caves.”
Lan Xiaobu didn’t continue to talk nonsense, he felt that he’d better find a way to hurry up and leave, I’m afraid that the Earth Dream Tower is not something that he can dabble in with this level of strength, it’s better to go out and continue to work hard to raise his cultivation.
Walking a hundred feet further was actually continuing down another hundred feet or so. This point Gong Qian was not wrong, it was indeed a hundred feet, after a hundred feet what appeared in front of the four of them was a misty mountain wall, and vaguely could see that there were some stone caves on these mountain walls.
“There are a total of seventy-two stone caves on these mountain walls, of which the Great Dream Sacred Canon was found in one of them. There is also that Innate Spiritual Treasure, which was likewise found in one of the stone caves. No one can go to the end of these stone caves, so there should be even more treasures that have not been searched for here.”Gong Qian pointed to the stone caves under the haze in front of him and explained to Lan Xiaobu and the others.
“How come there’s no one here?”As Lan Xiaobu spoke, he once again began to build the dimensional mould structure.
“When people come here, they must have immediately entered the stone cave, who would waste time outside. I went in once, when I went in and searched for three days, I ended up getting nothing.”Tang Zhong hemmed and hawed.
Gong Qian also laughed and said, “I guess it’s just that Dao Friend Lan Xiaobu hasn’t gone in, a few of us have entered. This time, there are more of us, and when we enter, our ability to protect ourselves is greatly increased, so I believe we should be able to gain something. I choose this cave ……”
As he spoke, Gong Qian pointed to a hole that was slightly farther away from the crowd, a hole that was even hazier than the rest of the holes, and could not even be seen clearly without a closer look.
“Wait ……” Lan Xiaobu abruptly called out to Gong Qian.
Gong Qian looked back at Lan Xiaobu in confusion, but there was a kind of uneasiness in Lan Xiaobu’s eyes.
The Cosmic Dimensional Mode had just constructed the structure of the Dimensional Mode here, and although it wasn’t completely finished, Lan Xiaobu could already see clearly what most things were. Where was this some kind of mountain wall or stone cave? Rather, it was a huge earthen-made hall. There was still grey-brown dirt under their feet, and the hall was thousands of square feet, and this hall as a whole took the shape of a pot. Where they were was the bottom of the pot.
Embedded in the earth walls that sloped upwards around this great hall were seventy-two winding loop corridors. Most of the looping corridors had cultivators moving carefully, and from time to time, these cultivators sacrificed their magic treasures to blast them out, or they found some treasures, revealing surprise in their eyes. But to Lan Xiaobu, it seemed as if these people were walking through a transparent official road. These people might never know that they had entered the Treasure Stone Cave in search of treasures, but were actually wandering around the four sides of the earth walls of this great hall.
The more Lan Xiaobu looked, the more alarmed he became, and he had already guessed that that Great Dream Sacred Canon should have been obtained from these looping corridors in the first place as well. In other words, someone had deliberately allowed those who came in to obtain the Great Dream Sacred Canon.
Lan Xiaobu’s gaze landed on the innermost part of the hall, which was a colourful pool, or rather there was a colourful mist suspended above the pool, while inside the pool was a grey liquid. What was this liquid, the cosmic dimension model was still under construction.
In the middle of this pool, an illusory shadow sat suspended in the air, and the colourful mist in the pool seemed to be absorbed away by this illusory shadow.
Great Dream Sage? Lan Xiaobu instantly lost his previous confidence. This illusory shadow’s aura was almost close to the Harmonious God Realm, if this was the Great Dream Sage, or the Great Dream Sage’s doppelganger, then this amount of his cultivation wouldn’t even be close. The Great Dream Saint’s God King realm was not something that could be compared to the tiny God King he had met before, it was simply a world of difference.
He had thought that Meteor was a World God, and that even if the Great Dream Saint’s cultivation was strong, he wouldn’t be able to break through to the Divine King realm. Now it seemed that his own thoughts were really a bit naive. Why couldn’t other saints recover faster than Meteor? Everyone’s chances were different, and it was just too normal for cultivation to be faster or slower.
“Puff!”A cultivator walking in the looped corridor embedded in the stone wall didn’t know what he had met and fell down from the stone wall, directly into the colourful pool. The pool splashed some grey water while the fallen cultivator completely disappeared.
“Fellow Daoist Lan, is there a problem?”Seeing that Lan Xiaobu didn’t say anything, Gong Qian asked again.
Lan Xiaobu said dryly, “Fellow Daoist Gong, I think it’s better if we don’t go in, I always feel something odd about this place.”
“Don’t worry, there’s me, Tang Zhong.”Tang Zhong, who was covered in horizontal meat, patted his chest, his tone still grinning broadly.
Gong Qian also said, “Yes, we’ve all arrived in front of the 72 caves, so if we don’t go in, it’s really not worth it.”
Seeing that he couldn’t persuade the other party, Lan Xiaobu had no choice but to say, “Sorry, I don’t plan on going in, I’m timid.”
“Fellow Daoist Lan, after coming here, there is no way back. Enter the stone cave from here, and after the end of the month, we will retreat back in the stone cave. However, the way back is not this place, but at the exit of the great hall. If we leave directly from here, we won’t be able to get out and will end up disappearing.”Syaoran Shenyan, who hadn’t said anything, took the initiative to speak.
If he didn’t know what this place was, Lan Xiaobu had planned to go in and take a look. Now that he knew that the place everyone was entering was a clearly visible corridor, Lan Xiaobu would definitely not go in and take the risk. Because if he wasn’t careful, he would fall inside that pool of grey water. He came here because he wanted to finish off the Great Dream Sage, not to be finished off by the Great Dream Sage.
“No, I still don’t intend to go in. Fellow Daoist Gong, Fellow Daoist Tang, and Fellow Daoist Syu, we’re all teaming up for a fight, so I suggest that it’s best if you don’t go in either. As for how to get out of here, I can lead the way.”Lan Xiaobu refused without hesitation.
Seeing that Lan Xiaobu was truly determined not to go in, Gong Qian sighed and said, “Since that’s the case, then the three of us will go in, I’ll see you later, fellow Daoist Lan.”
After saying that, he no longer ignored Lan Xiaobu. Originally, they had arranged for four people to go in together to look for a chance, but in the end, Lan Xiaobu actually backed out, leaving their team with one less person for no reason.
