Chereads / Forty Thousand Years of the Star Realm / Chapter 11 - Chapter Eleven: Like a Dream

Chapter 11 - Chapter Eleven: Like a Dream

Starting from this day, Li Yao began his miserable life as a low-level laborer in the Bai Lian Sect under the identity of "Ou Yi Ming."

This strange dream was completely different from ordinary dreams, even more real than the strange dreams Li Yao had since childhood, and even the passage of time was extremely slow. No matter how Li Yao tried, there was no sign of "waking up."

It was as if he had truly become "Ou Yi Ming," starting a new life.

Being a low-level laborer in the Bai Lian Sect was definitely not easy. As time passed, the burden on their shoulders became heavier and heavier every day.

At first, it was carrying three thousand catties of water and chopping down fifty ordinary big trees, and later it became carrying ten thousand catties of hot iron water, chopping down a hundred 'Golden Stone Woods' as hard as steel, and also swinging the "Duan Tian Hammer" weighing a thousand and twenty catties thirty thousand times!

And the "Chief Instructor of Low-Level Laborers" Jù Líng Shén seemed to have firmly remembered Li Yao, treating him as a thorn in his side, causing trouble for him three times a day. If Li Yao made the slightest mistake, he would inevitably suffer a beating with the "One Hundred and Eight Handstyles of the Random Wind Hammer Method," beating him to the point of death and unbearable pain.

Day after day, year after year, in the dream, time flew by like a fleeting moment, and it seemed that ten years had passed.

The tedious and heavy labor and the inhuman torment day and night gradually eroded Li Yao's self. The name "Li Yao" had become a very distant thing, and even the memories of the past had become the sand in the deepest part of his mind, sinking into the deep sea, no longer stirring any waves.

He completely became "Ou Yi Ming," the most outstanding among the 18,725 low-level laborers of the Bai Lian Sect!

Thirty years of hard training forged his strong body like steel, and the ruthless training of Jù Líng Shén also made him fully master the essence of the "One Hundred and Eight Handstyles of the Random Wind Hammer Method," even more skilled than many "inner disciples of the Bai Lian Sect."

In addition to Jù Líng Shén, no one called him "Ou Yi Ming" anymore, all the low-level laborers called him "Big Brother Ou Yi!"

In the eleventh year, he finally became the second-to-last level "blacksmith laborer" of the Bai Lian Sect and was qualified to enter the "blacksmith room!"

From then on, time passed very quickly.

In the fourteenth year, he became an outer disciple of the Bai Lian Sect, was awarded the title of "blacksmith," and was qualified to participate in the casting of low-level flying swords for outer disciples.

In the twenty-first year, he became a "craftsman," had an independent refining furnace, and could independently cast low-level flying swords.

In the twenty-ninth year, he became a "master craftsman," the foremost in refining among all the outer disciples.

In the thirty-first year, when the demon sect invaded, Ou Yi Ming was at the forefront in the war against the seven major demon sects, killing twenty-four demon sect foundation-building cultivators. The Bai Lian Sect then discovered that he had actually deduced and evolved the most basic "One Hundred and Eight Handstyles of the Random Wind Hammer Method" into one hundred and eighty-nine handstyles!

In the thirty-third year, Ou Yi Ming joined the senior "Fish Intestine Daoist" of the Bai Lian Sect and became an inner disciple of the Bai Lian Sect. In another three years, he was promoted to a core disciple and deputy director of the blacksmith room.

In the thirty-eighth year, Ou Yi Ming stood out among the tens of thousands of young disciples of the Bai Lian Sect and was the first to reach the peak of the foundation-building stage. Others changed their address from "Big Brother Ou Yi" to "Senior Brother Ou Yi."

In the same year, he married the only daughter of the thirty-fifth generation leader of the Bai Lian Sect, "Tai A Shang Ren."

In the bridal chamber, with a beautiful woman by his side, Ou Yi Ming was like the rising sun, with a promising future. He also remembered the joke he made when he was a low-level laborer, "One day, I will become the leader of the Bai Lian Sect!"

It seems that it is not impossible.

At present, he has great power in his hands, with endless resources, his cultivation is progressing rapidly, he has the support of many elders in the sect, and the help of countless brothers who have lived and died together. He is really at the peak of life!

However, when recalling the joke made decades ago, he vaguely remembered something, and there was always a ripple in the depths of his mind, which made him feel a little uneasy.

"Husband, you can definitely make the 'Bai Lian Sect' the strongest refining sect in the three thousand worlds..." His wife looked at him on the bed with a smile, her eyes blurred, and her tenderness was like water.

Ou Yi Ming shivered deeply, deeply, deeply, deeply, deeply.

Suddenly, strange ripples appeared before his eyes, as if something had twisted time and space, tearing the world open. The face of his wife on the bed suddenly became blurred, hazy, and transformed into another clean and pure face.

"Promise me, don't street race anymore, be a car mechanic honestly, no one will look down on you, one day we will have our own 4S shop!"

"Promise me, Ah Yao!"

He nodded subconsciously, blinked, and suddenly woke up.

It was a very strange feeling, as if the soul had been drawn out of the body, turned into a transparent shadow, floating in mid-air, calmly watching Ou Yi Ming and his wife in the cave room, from a participant in the experience, to a pure onlooker.

"I am not Ou Yi Ming, I am not Ou Yi Ming, who am I? I am - Li Yao!"

It was as if a clear spring gushed from the bottom of his heart, and his spirit became extremely clear and enlightened. In an instant, he regained his self, and the memories of the past seventy-two years also turned into colorful fragments, a dream of millet.

"Dangerous, dangerous, if I had been indulging in it and couldn't extricate myself, even if I woke up from the dream one day, what woke up would only be 'Ou Yi Ming', not the real me!" Thinking back to the past, Li Yao couldn't help sweating and exclaiming luckily.

From this day on, he continued to participate in the evolution of the dream as an onlooker. Although he had not completely gotten rid of it, he knew clearly that this was a dream, and everything in the dream could no longer trouble him.

From a psychological point of view, this is called a "lucid dream."

The speed of the dream's evolution also became faster and faster, just like a speeding crystal rail train, dazzling, only slowing down at some important nodes, giving Li Yao the opportunity to see the details.

In the forty-first year, Li Yao saw that Ou Yi Ming became the youngest elder in the history of the Bai Lian Sect, and in the same year, he forged the secret sword "Shen Shan," killing the demon sect's great villain and the golden elixir strongman "Poison Dragon True Lord."

In the forty-third year, Li Yao saw that Ou Yi Ming represented the Bai Lian Sect to participate in the "Ten Worlds Sword Debate" event, with a domineering giant sword "Bai Li Tun Long" suppressing all the heroes, continuously cutting off the opponent's ninety-two divine weapons, and winning the title of "Ten Worlds Sword Saint" at one stroke, becoming a famous sword master in more than a dozen worlds.

In the fifty-second year, Li Yao saw that the demon sect invaded again, taking the Bai Lian Sect as the primary target, and dozens of elders including the leader Tai A Shang Ren and the elder Yu Chang Dao Ren fell one after another.

At the critical moment, Ou Yi Ming was elected as the thirty-sixth leader of the Bai Lian Sect. He took an oath of revenge in the sacred place of the sect, "Wan Jian Gu Zhuang," and then spent three years forging the "Top Ten Divine Weapons" that shocked the world!

Under his leadership, the Bai Lian Sect became a huge weapon workshop, continuously providing divine weapons to the right path sects!

In the sixty-eighth year, the last disciple of the nine demon sects was completely killed by the divine weapons forged by Ou Yi Ming!

At this time, no one called him "Ou Yi Da Shixiong" or "Ou Yi Leader" anymore.

Everyone, with great respect, called him - Ou Yi Zi!

In the one hundred and ninth year, the name of Ou Yi Zi had spread to hundreds of neighboring worlds, and even people from unknown worlds beyond the sea of stars, who were not afraid of being swallowed by the chaos whirlpool, crossed one ancient transmission array after another, coming to the "Vast Wilderness World" just to get a divine weapon forged by Ou Yi Zi.

The one hundred and thirtieth year... The two hundred and fiftieth year... The three hundred and twentieth year...

Finally -

"Supreme Leader! Ancestor! Think twice, think twice! Time travel is impossible at all, you are the pillar of our Bai Lian Sect, you must not take risks personally!"

Li Yao saw that in a very majestic hall surrounded by clouds, tens of thousands of cultivators knelt on the ground, kowtowing to Ou Yi Zi, making the whole hall "clang clang" and blood flowing all over the ground.

The white-bearded Ou Yi Zi stood in the center of a grand and mysterious transmission array, shook his sleeves, and said indifferently, "All worlds are the universe, all generations are the universe. The true meaning of cultivation is to explore the infinite mysteries of the 'universe'. Since I have made this 'Time Array' that may travel through time by chance, even if the opportunity is slim, I will try it and see if I can really go to the end of time."

After a pause, he slowly looked at the disciples in the hall, and his face was full of desolation, murmuring, "All disciples need not say more, all the magical treasures in this world have been studied clearly by me, and there is no regret. I just hope that on the other side of time, in the new world tens of thousands of years later, there will be some new magical treasures that are pleasing."

Before he finished speaking, Ou Yi Zi had already activated the time array. A dazzling light column gushed from the bottom of the strange transmission array, enveloping him.

This light column was filled with extremely violent spiritual energy, like an overflowing flood spreading in all directions. The whole hall was trembling under the threat of spiritual energy, and all the cultivators involuntarily raised their spiritual energy shields. Some of the cultivators closest to Ou Yi Zi were directly overturned by the spiritual energy fluctuations.

And the spiritual energy seemed to be endless, still gathering, rising, and expanding, just like a fierce spiritual energy monster.

"No, this transmission array is continuously absorbing spiritual energy from all directions, transforming it into a spiritual energy stream, and it will explode at any time!"

"The transmission array has a problem, everyone leave quickly, run!"

"We can't escape, quickly, open the spiritual energy shield, resist with the strongest magical treasure!"

"Ah -"

The last thing that appeared in front of Li Yao was a milky white light, surging like waves, completely devouring the entire hall, along with hundreds of floating mountains outside the hall and the entire ocean below.

And Li Yao also sat up at once from the bed in his own home in Chaoyang New Village on the outskirts of Fugou City, in the Star Yao Federation, in the Tianyuan World, in the 40,000th year of the cultivation era.
