Chapter 60 Entering the Dream
Liu Lang sank into a state of profound chaos, his consciousness gradually blurring.
Before he knew it, he found himself at the bottom of a gloomy cliff, surrounded by damp mist and a faint, decaying odor.
Standing quietly beside him was Tu Ning, her hair gently swaying in the breeze. Though her face was a blank expanse, it still exuded an elusive hint of emotion.
An inexplicable wave of heat surged within Liu Lang’s heart, originating from the Imperial Spirit Genesis Scripture that was involuntarily circulating inside his body.
As the cultivation technique circulated, his desires surged forth like a breached dike. Within this dreamscape, he completely lost all control.
Unbeknownst to him, the scene gradually grew intimate, the figures of him and Tu Ning beginning to intertwine as an unbridled passionate dream unfolded uncontrollably.
However, Liu Lang was unaware that outside of this nihilistic dreamscape, a far more bizarre event was taking place.
The power of karma and the rules of space were quietly intertwining like an invisible net, tightly binding reality and the dream together.
In a mysterious corner of Tianjing, the portals that Tu Ning, Ouyang, and the Ghost Bride had originally entered to access the Spirit Realm were, under the influence of mysterious forces, no longer leading to the Spirit Realm, but directly into Liu Lang's dream.
The moment she entered the dream, Tu Ning was helplessly merged into one with the "Dream Tu Ning," unable to break free beneath Liu Lang.
"Leader! Now is really not the time for this kind of thing!" Ouyang shouted loudly, covering his eyes.
With something finally out of her mouth, Tu Ning panted and said, "You fool! This is his dream! All the rules are set by him, I cannot resist!"
Liu Lang thrust back in, leaving Tu Ning with no opportunity to speak.
And everything within this dream, like a mirror, manifested in the high skies of the real world.
For a moment, a bizarre spectacle appeared in the sky, with countless people looking up and witnessing the scenes from Liu Lang's dream.
The power of desire, following the threads of karma, began to influence the real world.
The air grew thick with an unusual aura, and people's gazes began to blur, as if manipulated by some evil force, threatening to erupt into an unsightly chaos.
A bat flew into the room where Liu Lang was meditating. The bat transformed into human form, revealing herself to be Liu Fei'er. She had already noticed the anomaly in the sky, yet Liu Lang before her was still deep in meditation.
"What should I do? Will waking him up cause him to suffer a cultivation deviation?" She was extremely anxious, completely at a loss for what to do.
At this critical juncture, Daly pushed an instrument forward and said, "Spatial rules have been detected! Combined with this instrument, it might be able to send you into that space!"
Inside Kunlun Academy, the veiled woman found Xiao Rong. "That kid used the power of karma from somewhere and triggered the Imperial Spirit Genesis Scripture early! It's even mixed with spatial rules! Quickly activate the Imperial Spirit Genesis Scripture and take me to that space, there's still time!"
They knew all too well that if this disaster was not stopped immediately, the consequences would be unimaginable.
In a secret hospital ward, Zhang Lingyan laughed wildly, "Tang Feng, I've finally gotten you!" Tang Feng kissed every inch of her skin, his eyes filled with desire.
In Tianjing, the sounds of splashing waves and murmurs echoed everywhere.
As soon as Xiao Rong entered the dream, she witnessed the chaotic scene. Not only was Tu Ning beneath Liu Lang, but Liu Fei'er was also stark naked, pleading for his favor.
The veiled woman's eyes grew hazy, and she actually attempted to strip off her clothes.
"Wake up!" Xiao Rong shouted sternly, circulating the Imperial Spirit Genesis Scripture, which finally shocked the veiled woman back to her senses.
The veiled woman broke out in lingering fear. She retrieved the Samsara Reflection Mirror, slightly raised her hand, and gave a gentle wave. An invisible force instantly rippled outward.
This force swept across the land like a spring breeze; wherever it passed, the mist of desire gradually dissipated, and the consciousness of those trapped in the dream began to recover.
However, this force startled the Ghost Bride, who was standing quietly to the side.
She drifted gently toward the veiled woman, reaching out to touch the Samsara Reflection Mirror. Naturally, the veiled woman would not allow it, taking a step back to dodge.
Yet, despite clearly taking a step back, spatially she moved a step closer to the Ghost Bride.
"This thing is utterly bizarre!" Xiao Rong recognized the Ghost Bride and never expected her to appear here. With a flash of cold light, a flying sword went straight for her throat.
The flying sword passed right through her as if she were a mere phantom, having zero effect.
The Samsara Reflection Mirror was snatched away by the Ghost Bride, leaving the veiled woman utterly helpless.
"Even though my strength has dropped to the Golden Core stage, it is still the upper limit of this world fragment's power. How could it be so effortless..." The veiled woman muttered in disbelief. "Could it be the Rule Spirit?!"
The Ghost Bride's red veil remained covering her face, but her gaze seemed to pierce through the fabric as she carefully inspected herself in the mirror. No matter how Xiao Rong attacked, it had no effect at all; though this time the attacks didn't pass through her, they simply ground to a halt an inch away from the Ghost Bride's body and could go no further.
Tu Ning gradually regained consciousness, but her body was still driven by momentum, bobbing up and down. Seeing the Ghost Bride looking into the mirror from afar, she felt a stir in her heart. "She has actually materialized! What a great opportunity!"
"Ouyang! Take off her head!"
Ouyang had already prepared himself, but his hands still could not come close to the Ghost Bride.
Tu Ning unleashed her spatial ability, teleporting directly beside the Ghost Bride.
The veiled woman was startled. "She is a spatial Esper, sharing the same origin as the spatial rules. Perhaps she can touch—" Before she could finish her sentence, she saw Tu Ning's hand make contact with the Ghost Bride's neck.
The Ghost Bride's head was severed.
Ouyang decisively removed Tu Ning's head, intending to place Tu Ning's head onto the Ghost Bride's body!
The Ghost Bride's head dissolved into a stream of energy that integrated into her own body.
The Samsara Reflection Mirror fell from the air, and the force that had been dispersing the mist of desire vanished along with it.
Liu Lang, who had been on the verge of waking up, plunged back into desire once more, roughly grabbing Liu Fei'er. "You're all here!"
He smiled hideously. This was his dream!
The thick mist of desire enveloped every single one of them.
The veiled woman moved to pick up the Samsara Reflection Mirror, but the mirror had already landed in Liu Lang's grasp. This was his dream, and he was the maker of the rules.
"Come over here, all of you," Liu Lang commanded.
Though Tu Ning had acquired the body of the Rule Spirit, she could not muster an ounce of strength at this moment. "Why? Why can't I control the body of the Rule Spirit?"
The veiled woman sneered mockingly, "What are you? How dare you covet the Rule Spirit, completely unaware that you have actively become the host of the Rule Spirit."
"Come over here, all of you..." Liu Lang spoke again, and an even more overwhelming wave of desire descended.
The eyes of Tu Ning, the veiled woman, and Liu Fei'er gradually filled with desire.
Xiao Rong frantically circulated the Imperial Spirit Genesis Scripture, but the rules within the dream were so strong that she could barely hold on.
Even the thought, "Why bother resisting?" popped up in her mind.
"Wake up!"
The long sword in Xiao Rong's hand pierced straight through Liu Lang's heart.
Liu Lang snapped back to reality as if waking from a profound dream.
