Before Cao An could take action, Zhang Yunlai drew his sword and slashed towards the void. Sword energy like a bright moon flew out from the sword in his hand. The arc-shaped sword energy expanded rapidly in the air. When it came close, it was already Like a new moon being pulled to the ground, the thirty-six sword energies were crushed the moment they touched the new moon.
That day, the man in the human realm was cut down with a sword and fell into the third level of the palace. Cao An and others moved and appeared in front of the man. This was a middle-aged man wearing a blue Taoist robe. At this moment, he was already surrounded by A group of Taoist priests helped them up. Although they knew that they were no match, there was no fear on the faces of the remaining eight people.
Filled with righteous indignation, he stood with his sword in hand, guarding the man in the realm of heaven and man within.
"You are not their opponent, don't make rash sacrifices." Pei Hongyun knew that Zhang Yunlai had already held back his hand in the sword strike just now. If he hadn't held back, he would not have been knocked to the ground, but in the air. His body was broken by a sword.
Cao An took a step forward and glanced at several people one by one. He didn't stop for a long time, and finally stopped at the highest hall. "You disciples are already like this. This Immortal Temple's Hasn't the Lord appeared yet? Is it possible that we have to kill you one by one before He will appear?"
Pei Hongyun smiled miserably and said, "Even if you kill us all, my master will not show up."
"Is there something hidden in it?" Cao An asked with a slight frown.
"You tell me first what you noticed, and then I will tell you what is going on. If you don't tell me right, it proves that you are not destined for each other, and our lives will not matter, and we will die at most. "Even though he is stronger than others at the moment, Pei Hongyun still looks nonchalant.
"Hey, you are a junior, you are so stubborn when you are about to die. Do you want to test my master? I will eat it alive for you today, Mr. Dog." Dahuang walked out with a swagger, his eyes full of anger, Last night, he was tricked by these ant-like guys. Inexplicably, he felt very unhappy.
Cao An was so deep in thought that he didn't pay much attention to the color cast by the rhubarb, and said: "This is not the real world. I can clearly feel it, but it's hard to say where exactly it is. How exactly is it? What's going on?"
As soon as he said these words, the expressions of the people around him changed drastically, and they were no longer in the real world without anyone noticing? But they clearly didn't notice the abnormality, especially Zhang Yunlai and Dahuang. Both of them had already majored in Yang Shen realm, but they didn't notice this problem. This was abnormal.
Pei Hongyun was a little surprised, "You can really feel the difference between the two? But you are only in the realm of heaven and human."
Cao An could naturally detect that his realm of heaven and man was different from others. When he truly merged with heaven and man, the feeling of being naturally integrated with the real world was difficult to imitate.
"So what is this place?"
Pei Hongyun waved his hand, and the disciples behind him made way to the last and highest hall, "This is my master's dream, and we are just like you, We are trapped in it and can’t get out. There is something wrong with Master’s practice. Unless she wakes up on her own, all of us can only be here.”
Dahuang was stunned for a moment, "A dream? How is this possible? If it is a dream, how could I not discover it?"
Cao An touched Dahuang's head and signaled him to stop talking. He looked around and walked straight to the stone bench on the side. Then he waved to Pei Hongyun, "Come here and tell me in detail. I don't have it yet." How can I break this dream? It cannot be broken by brute force. This dream has too many possibilities."
Pei Hongyun stepped forward and stood opposite Cao An without sitting down, "Yes, there are infinite possibilities. The dream will choose who to dream on its own. For so many years, we don't know how it chooses the people to dream, but no one knows. With one exception, those who enter the dreamland cannot come out."
"When did it start?" Cao An asked.
"It has been going on for nearly a hundred years. At that time, the master extended the life of the late emperor, rewarded this place, and built a Taoist temple. The late emperor gave it the name of the Immortal Temple. After that, the Immortal Temple was normal until two hundred years ago, when the master went into retreat. , deducing the techniques, and in order to further improve upon the supernatural power, we will completely leave the concept of immortality to us."
"Relying on the prestige accumulated by Master in the past, although our cultivation level is not high, we have always been at peace with the entire world. No one came to disturb us. It has continued like this for a hundred years..."
Cao An looked at him, "How did you find out that you were in a dream?"
"Because no matter how we practice, our cultivation will never improve. Of course, this is not the main reason. Before the retreat, Master lit a candle in the main hall. She warned us that this retreat is extremely dangerous. "If the light of the candle is orange, it means you are still in the real world; if it turns red, it means you have entered a dream."
"A dream woven by Master himself!"
Zhang Yunlai listened and frowned, "If you leave the Temple of Immortality, can you get out of the dream?"
Pei Hongyun shook his head, "You are in a dream yourself. No matter how far you run in the dream, aren't you also in a dream? What's the point?"
"Then you have to find a way, right? You are her disciples. She had anticipated such a day, so didn't she leave any backup plan for you?" Zhang Yunlai felt inexplicably unhappy. What the hell is this?
"Master only told us how to distinguish reality from dreams, but did not tell us how to get out of dreams. Moreover, Master also warned us not to tell anyone the truth unless the person who entered the dream discovered this problem first. And in the past hundred years, you are the first people to discover that this is a dream."
Cao An shook his head, "Not really. I didn't expect this to be a dream. I just knew that this was not the real world. Keep going outwards? There will always be limits to this dream, right? It's impossible for your master to have seen everything in this world. A place like that, right? There are always places in dreams that she can’t expect and can’t weave out, right?”
Pei Hongyun smiled and said, "In the dream, except for the Immortal Temple and the small village at the foot of the mountain, as well as the places where the Master once walked, other places were not woven by the Master, but were woven by the people in the dream."
Zhang Yunlai couldn't understand, "What do you mean?"
"Just like you, senior, if you have been to a place that was not woven in advance in the dream before you fell into the dream, then after you enter the dream and you return to that place again in the dream, everything there is based on your memory. It is woven from the foundation, not the master, it will be the place that best suits your perception, and you will not easily find out the clues."
"What if I haven't been there and your master hasn't knitted it in advance?"
"Then what this place should look like in your imagination is what it will look like in your dream. The logic is self-consistent, and everything is as vivid as real existence..."
