Entry: I Secretly Cultivate Immortality in the Martial Arts World

169: Chapter 169 Golden Entry: The One and Only Supreme Dream Master in All Ages!After the lecture, Gu Yan returned to the Hall of Longevity to continue his secluded cultivation.

He was now at the Profound Immortal Ninth Level, only one step away from the Golden Immortal Realm.

He decided to push through in one go and achieve a Breakthrough.

Time flowed like water, quietly passing by.

Fifteen years passed.

On this day, within the Hall of Longevity, the Qi around Gu Yan’s body suddenly solidified; he had reached the Golden Immortal First Level.

Gu Yan slowly opened his eyes.

This Breakthrough took fifteen years, which was quite a bit slower than before, but it was normal.

Moving from Profound Immortal to Golden Immortal was, after all, a leap across a major Realm, so taking a bit longer was understandable.

He looked inward at himself; his Golden Immortal Immortal Body was complete, and his Physical Body, Divine Soul, and Immortal Essence mana were all refined to the extreme.

Not bad.

Thinking this, Gu Yan’s mind moved, and a rainbow wheel appeared before him.

The trait System could draw a trait once every hundred years.

He could have drawn it last year when he was nine hundred and twenty years old, but after thinking about it, he decided to wait until after breaking through to the Golden Immortal Realm to draw it, for good luck.

Now that his Realm had also broken through, let’s start the draw.

The pointer swept rapidly across the rainbow wheel, finally coming to a slow stop on the gold area.

[Draw Successful]

[You have obtained the trait: ”Eternal Unique Supreme Dream Master · Gold”]

[”Eternal Unique Supreme Dream Master · Gold”: This trait grants you the identity of the Master of Great Dreams. The Great Dream Dao is one of the three thousand Great Daos, governing the dreams of all living beings and the boundary between illusion and reality.]

[Effect One · Dream Dao Master: You become the sole Dao Master of the Great Dream Dao. In the Myriad Worlds, all Laws, Divine Abilities, and creations related to dreams originate from you. Henceforth, any living being practicing methods related to the Dream Dao must revere you as the supreme.]

[Effect Two · Ten Thousand Dreams Upon Body: You can mobilize the dreams of all living beings in the Myriad Worlds for your own use. Wherever there is a dream, you are the Dominator; you can enter the dreams of others, create realistic illusions, and use the power of the dream world to amplify yourself.]

[Effect Three · Transformation of Void and Reality: You can turn things from dreams into reality, and you can also bring real objects into dreams. With a single thought, it becomes difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and void and reality follow your heart.]

After Gu Yan finished reading, he was quite surprised.

He had actually drawn another gold trait.

This trait was quite similar to the ”Eternal Unique Supreme Sword Master · Gold” he had drawn before; both made him the Dao Master of a certain Dao.

Since the Dao of the Sword had the Place of Origin of Ten Thousand Swords, then this Great Dream Dao should also have a similar place, right?

Gu Yan’s mind stirred.

Sure enough, in the midst of everything, he sensed a certain location.

That was the source of the Great Dream Dao, the Place of Origin of Ten Thousand Dreams.

Let’s go take a look.

With a thought, Gu Yan’s figure vanished instantly.

...

Place of Origin of Ten Thousand Dreams.

This was a place that existed between the void and reality.

There was no sky, no earth, only endless hazy mist slowly churning in the Void Realm.

Within the mist, countless points of light flickered, appearing like stars and also like eyes.

Each point of light was a fragment of a dream, gathered from the living beings of the Myriad Worlds, intertwining, fusing, and settling here.

Gu Yan stepped into the Void Realm and looked around.

This place had no clear boundaries or fixed form; everything was as if in a dream or an illusion, appearing both real and fake.

And in the depths of that endless mist, there was a giant plant.

To call it a plant wasn’t quite right.

Its trunk was as thick as a mountain, and its entire body had a translucent texture, as if countless flowing lights were moving within it.

Countless vines extended from the trunk, and at the end of each vine hung a fruit.

The fruits varied in size and shape.

Some were as round as pearls, emitting a soft glow.

Others were irregular in shape, with patterns flowing on their surface.

Gu Yan did a rough count; there were at least ten thousand of them.

Beneath the fruits, a strange beast was coiled.

The beast was extremely large, several times larger than the giant tree.

Its body was pitch black, shaped like a Qilin, but it had nine long tails, each with a point of dim light at the end that flickered intermittently.

Its head was like a mountain, its eyes were tightly closed, and with every breath, the surrounding mist rose and fell like a tide.

The moment Gu Yan approached, the beast suddenly opened its eyes.

At that instant, Gu Yan only felt an indescribable sense of pressure rushing toward him.

He was now at the Golden Immortal First Level, yet in the face of this aura, he actually felt an instinctive shudder.

What a terrifying aura.

This thing is not simple.

Gu Yan was wary, but in the next moment, the beast lowered its head, its nine long tails lying on the ground in an extremely submissive posture.

Through the information from the trait, Gu Yan instantly understood the origin of this beast.

This beast was named Dream Nightmare, the guardian of the Place of Origin of Ten Thousand Dreams, with terrifying strength comparable to an Immortal King Peak expert.

It had existed since the birth of this place, and its duty was to guard the fruits on that tree.

And now that Gu Yan was the master of this place, the Dream Nightmare naturally submitted.

Looking at the submissive giant before him, Gu Yan breathed a small sigh of relief.

He almost thought they were going to have a fight.

He looked away and towards the fruits on the giant tree.

Through the information from the trait, he also quickly learned the origin of these fruits.

This fruit was called the ten thousand dreams dao fruit, formed over long years in the Place of Origin of Ten Thousand Dreams using the dreams of all living beings in the Myriad Worlds as raw material.

All living beings in the Myriad Worlds, whether they were Mortals in the Mortal Realm, Cultivators, demons, or ghosts in the Middle Thousand Worlds, or even Immortals in the Major Thousand Worlds.

As long as they had a dream in their hearts, a sliver of their aura would flow into this place and become nourishment for the Dao Fruit.

Mortal dreams were the most numerous and the most chaotic.

Cultivator dreams were pure and contained Dao rhymes.

The dreams of Immortals and even higher-level beings were the rarest and most precious.

Within the Dao Fruit were countless dream fragments; eating one was equivalent to experiencing countless lives and perceiving countless states of mind.

Gu Yan checked the effects of the Dao Fruit.

For those below the Human Immortal Realm, eating one would make them an Immortal upon waking up from a sleep, without the need for cultivation or Undergoing Tribulation.

For those above the Human Immortal Realm, eating one could significantly enhance the strength of their Divine Sense, expand its range, and improve their perception and control over mental-type Laws.

At the same time, the countless dream fragments contained in the Dao Fruit allowed one to experience countless lives in a short period, providing great benefits for tempering the state of mind and perceiving the Dao.

Beyond that, the Dao Fruit had various other miraculous effects.

It could break through Heart Demons, stabilize the Dao Heart, increase Divine Soul defense, and use the power of the dream world to protect the Divine Soul from dissipating when on the verge of death.

In short, it was a divine object that could turn a Mortal directly into an Immortal and allow an Immortal to undergo a complete transformation.

Looking at the tree full of ten thousand dreams dao fruits, Gu Yan’s heart stirred.

Should I... eat one and try it?

He hesitated for a moment but eventually held back.

Because this thing had a side effect.

After eating a ten thousand dreams dao fruit, one would fall into a state of lethargy for a period of time.

The specific duration varied from person to person, ranging from a few months to several years.

During this period of lethargy, the Divine Soul would be immersed in the dream fragments of all living beings in the Myriad Worlds, making it difficult to extricate oneself.

This side effect wasn’t fatal, but for Gu Yan, it was completely unnecessary.

He didn’t want to sleep for several years.

Moreover, with his current Aptitude and Cultivation Technique, cultivating step-by-step to the Immortal Emperor Realm was only a matter of time.

To him, this ten thousand dreams dao fruit was ”tasteless to eat but a pity to discard.”

Then Gu Yan had a second thought, believing that this thing could be kept for other uses.

In the future, if any Disciple of the Taiyi Dao Sect or member of the Great Love Alliance performed a great service or reached a Bottleneck in their cultivation, he could reward them with one.

...

Spirit Realm, Middle Land.

In front of a remote thatched hut.

Tao Qian was lying on a bamboo chair, his eyes closed as he cultivated.

He had now switched from primarily practicing the Dao of the Sword to the Great Dream Dao.

There are three thousand Great Daos in this world; too many people fight for the Dao of Slaughter, and too many people grab for the Dao of Longevity.

Fortunately, there was still this unpopular Dao that no one cared about.

”Who is the first to wake from the Great Dream? I have known it all my life.”

However, at this moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and leaped up from the bamboo chair.

He looked completely bewildered.

No, what’s the situation?

He was just practicing the Dream Dao and clearly sensed that he was getting closer and closer to the source of that Dao. According to his estimation, in another few hundred years, he might be able to touch the threshold.

How could the source of that Dao suddenly have a master?

The Dream Dao has a master?

Tao Qian stood in front of the thatched hut, the expression on his face shifting constantly.

He had practiced the Dream Dao for so many years and had never sensed it having a master.

With such an unpopular Great Dao, who would come to compete with him for it?

One must know that the Opportunity and secrets to becoming the master of any ”Dao”...

...were a secret he had only accidentally glimpsed when he was in the Immortal Emperor Realm and fell into Reincarnation while attempting to reach a higher Realm.

Ordinary Cultivators, even Immortal Emperors, rarely knew about it.

But now...

Tao Qian was silent for a long time, then slowly sat back on the bamboo chair, looked up at the sky, and gave a long sigh.

In the distance, Ling Wuchen was squatting on a field ridge weeding.

He noticed the commotion on Tao Qian’s side, looked up, and saw that man jump up from the bamboo chair in a daze, stand there for a long time, and finally sit back down.

Ling Wuchen was curious, but he didn’t dare to ask more.

He had learned his lesson by now.

Back then, after he was dug out of the ground by Tao Qian, he found that his injuries were all healed, but his cultivation... was gone.

It wasn’t that his power had dissipated or been destroyed, but rather it seemed as if someone had used some means to bury his cultivation deep within his body.

He could feel the power still inside him, but he just couldn’t use it.

He wanted to leave this place.

But after walking for three days and three nights, he found that no matter how he walked, he would always end up back in front of the thatched hut.

This place had a Formation.

From then on, Ling Wuchen accepted his fate.

He knew that although Tao Qian appeared to have a Soul Transformation cultivation, he was definitely a hidden old monster.

He might be a Tribulation Crossing Realm powerhouse, or even an Immortal.

Since he couldn’t leave anyway, he might as well stay.

Ling Wuchen had experienced far too many hardships over the years.

He was truly tired.

He no longer wanted to fight for any Opportunity or venture into any Secret Realm.

Now, just waiting for death here didn’t seem too bad.

Thus, he stayed.

Ling Wuchen looked away and continued weeding with his head down.

In front of the distant thatched hut, Tao Qian had already lain back down on the bamboo chair.

He slowly closed his eyes and continued to comprehend the Dream Dao.

He believed in his heart that the so-called ”Dream Dao having a master” was perhaps just his own nightmare...

He would just wait until the next time he woke up, and everything would be as it was before...
