Chapter 351: Chapter 351 - 15: Great Dream of Thousand Years Opens, Immortal Martial City in an Uproar
’I remember that the Five-Thunder Magical Power requires the fusion of five types of Thundering Magical Power. I’ll give it a try... BOOM!’
Decisive by nature, he dove right into the experiment. However, his control over his Spiritual Power was poor, and Tong Wu’s body was instantly blasted to smithereens by five rampaging Thunderbolts.
If this were reality, his carelessness would have surely gotten him killed.
But here in the Dream World, his body reformed in the very next second, good as new, without even a trace of pain remaining.
’The fusion sequence for the Thunder Power was wrong... Again!’
BOOM—
His physical body exploded once more, only to reform again.
In just an hour, Tong Wu had experimented with the Five-Thunder fusion method over a hundred times. He went from exploding on contact to gradually gaining control over the flow of Thunder Power. Though he still made mistakes, his progress was visible to the naked eye.
And Tong Wu was far from the only one benefiting from the Dream World.
Some, who had repeatedly failed to control their Anomalous Fire, could now practice without restraint, instantly reviving even after being burned to ashes. Others needed to temper the acupoints in their spines and internal organs—a process where the slightest mistake in reality would lead to cultivation deviation—but in the dream, they could try and fail repeatedly until they broke through the acupoint’s nodes. Still others were deducing Array runes; a single failure in the real world could destroy the Array Foundation, but in the dream, they could inscribe and deduce to their heart’s content, with infinite attempts...
For a time, cries of joyful surprise rose and fell across the length and breadth of the Illusory Dream World, drowning out the roars of Sword Intent, Thunderbolt, and Flame.
"I’ve broken through the thirteenth spinal acupoint!"
"I’ve reached Enlightenment!"
"Hahaha, with this Array, my sect’s Secret Techniques will no longer be mere castles in the sky..."
"Sob... Master, we can finally practice our Cultivation Technique..."
Cultivating, experimenting, comprehending Dao Rhyme—nearly every Cultivator who entered the Dream World gained something.
And many of them wanted to keep cultivating indefinitely.
Unfortunately, Luo Zhiwei had long since established a rule: everyone had a daily time limit for entering the Array.
Soon, the trial time for the first batch of Cultivators ran out, and they were forcibly ejected by the Array.
The moment their consciousness returned to their bodies, they were all filled with a sense of loss and longing.
"Don’t kick me out! I was so close to mastering the Cultivation Technique!"
"Just give me another hour! Just one hour!"
Those who were ejected pleaded repeatedly, their eyes gleaming with fervent light. For them, a cultivation ground like this, with unlimited retries and vibrant Dao Rhyme, was a heaven-sent opportunity.
Some far-sighted individuals like Chu Yuan and Tong Wu even had a thought surface in their minds: ’With the help of this Array, I might actually be able to catch up to the main lineage of my clan and leap into the core ranks of my sect or family!’
’This is the greatest opportunity of my life!’
Everyone is selfish. Who wouldn’t want to monopolize such an opportunity?
However, this thought quickly died in the minds of Chu Yuan and the others.
Looking up, Chu Yuan discovered that the area outside the Immortal Martial Daoist School was already swarming with people. There were countless spies from every power imaginable; Luo Zhiwei’s Thunder Tribulation Array was impossible to hide.
’Sigh, if I dared to hide this, my family finding out would be a true death sentence.’
Left with no choice, Chu Yuan could only swallow his heartache and report every single detail about the wonders of the Illusory Dream World back to the Chu Family.
"What did you say? An Array developed by Luo Zhiwei can bring your physical bodies into a dream, with infinite Magical Power and unlimited revivals?"
Unsurprisingly, when the reconnaissance results were reported back, the entire Chu Family—no, the entire Immortal Martial City—erupted in a clamorous uproar.
There are no true fools among high-level Cultivators. With just a moment of thought, they discovered the countless uses the Dream World had for Cultivation. This realization made the hearts of the elders and Clan Leaders who received the news tremble.
’With the help of this Dream World, our clan’s incredibly powerful but difficult-to-practice Secret Techniques and Forbidden Techniques will no longer be mere decorations collecting dust on a high shelf! They’ll become trump cards we can actually cultivate, greatly increasing the family’s foundations!’
’But Luo Zhiwei... is the Array she researched really that powerful? Can it truly simulate one’s physical condition so completely?’
This doubt, mixed with their excitement, made the assembled clan elders and Patriarchs hold their breath, focusing intently on Chu Yuan’s explanation.
And Chu Yuan did not disappoint the Chu Family.
"Clan Elders, how would this grandson dare to deceive you? I’ve already tested it; the body in the dream is identical to the one in reality. According to Master Zhiwei, our bodies in the Dream World aren’t scanned by the Array. Instead, they are shaped by our own subconscious as we sink into the dream..."
"Besides, it’s only natural for Master Zhiwei’s Array to have such a heaven-defying effect! If it weren’t so powerful, why would the Celestial Dao have sent down a Thunder Tribulation!"
"The Thunder Tribulation... that’s right. To be able to trigger a Thunder Tribulation, the Array must be this powerful."
This single sentence was a sudden awakening. The two words "Thunder Tribulation" made the great clans of Immortal Martial City cast aside all their doubts. But soon, they were caught in a new dilemma—the appearance of the Illusion Dream Array had completely upended their original plans.
Previously, the major clans of Immortal Martial City had all focused their main efforts on the mansions of Prince Silver Moon and Prince Celestial Sea. As for Prince Qinghe’s Mansion, they had merely sent a few disciples from side branches to make a token effort.
But with the appearance of an Array that could boost cultivation, many of the younger generation grew restless. Siding with Silver Moon and Celestial Sea could win them future authority in the military legions.
But going to Prince Qinghe’s side meant they could immediately enter the Array and cultivate, progressing by leaps and bounds.
What made some even more anxious was this: "Clan Leader, Elders, don’t forget one thing. Infinite Magical Power and infinite rebirth are just the effects of the fourth-tier access to the Illusion Dream Array. To unlock the highest tier, the Celestial Level guest status, not only must we pledge allegiance to Prince Qinghe and accumulate a certain amount of Merit Points, but we also need Celestial-grade Wind Fiend Qi. The resources required for that are nearly a hundred times greater than for the fourth tier."
