In front of the main hall of the Guiyuan Sect, Yun Wuci and Bu Lingfei stood facing each other in silence for a long time.
In unison, they asked, "Where is Ye Yu?"
Upon hearing this question, Yun Wuci and Bu Lingfei instantly understood.
The other had experienced the same dream as themselves.
No.
Perhaps it wasn't a dream at all.
It was a tangible reality.
After a while, these two fairy-like beings, who had fought fiercely in their dreams, now sat together in a room.
"I don't think it was a dream; everything felt too real. Moreover, we've never met before, yet now we feel so familiar with each other. And dreaming the same dream, it's all too incredible."
Yun Wuci's tone was filled with emotion.
Bu Lingfei said in a deep voice, "I don't believe it was a dream either. So, the immediate task is to find Ye Yu. Perhaps he can give us answers!"
Yun Wuci agreed wholeheartedly with this viewpoint.
Then her face suddenly turned red.
She whispered, "But what about the future?"
This seemingly random question, if heard by anyone else, would surely cause confusion.
But Bu Lingfei understood clearly in her heart.
Yun Wuci was asking about what would happen after they found Ye Yu.
To be honest, Bu Lingfei hadn't figured out what to do in the future either.
But the feeling of watching Ye Yu die in front of her in the dream was too painful. Bu Lingfei truly didn't want to experience that kind of pain again.
So after serious thought, she softly said, "Then it depends on Ye Yu's choice. If he still chooses both of us, I... I'll accept it."
Yun Wuci let out a long sigh of relief.
Looking up at the sky, she murmured, "I'll accept it too. There's no choice; I can't face that scene again!"
Little did Ye Yu know, the two immortal-like women in the dream realm last night, who had been at odds had now reconciled.
On the peak of Wuzhi Peak, Ye Yu dragged his weary body towards the bamboo house.
Another afternoon spent as a human revenge machine.
Hongluan once again made a lot of money.
If he hadn't mentioned once again that his luck at gambling was poor at night, Ye Yu probably wouldn't have rested all night.
Upon returning to the bamboo house, he was surprised to find Second Senior Sister Xie Muling lying on his bed.
Her sleeping posture was exceptionally uninhibited.
Ye Yu's eyes once again filled with strangeness.
Since this bamboo house was built, Xie Muling had become rather peculiar.
It was hard to figure her out.
Why did she insist on having the windows so close together? And why didn't she sleep in her own room?
These questions gave Ye Yu a headache.
At that moment, Xie Muling slowly woke up.
She sat up sluggishly, with a strand of hair sticking up on her head. looking quite silly.
"Why did you come so late? Come over and let me smell it."
Upon hearing this, Ye Yu was at a loss.
Smell what?
He couldn't help but step back.
This small movement did not escape Xie Muling's notice.
She instantly woke up to her mistake.
Oops.
She had just spoken her true feelings.
She couldn't scare this junior brother away. Otherwise, where would she go to smell such a nice scent in the future?
Xie Muling immediately got up, resuming her previous cold demeanor.
"My bad, junior brother. I was just talking in my sleep earlier. Please don't mind me. As for why I'm here, I just wanted to see if your room is comfortable."
"You can think of it as a senior sister caring for her junior!"
With that said, Xie Muling walked out of the bamboo house in long strides.
Ye Yu stood there, completely stunned.
Senior sister caring for junior brother included testing the room?
Something was definitely off.
Very off.
Senior sister must have some issues.
Just as Ye Yu was pondering this, the window next to him opened again.
Xie Muling's voice came from next door, "You don't have to close the window tonight. It's nice to have fresh air flowing through."
Ye Yu was utterly baffled.
What fresh air?
Our windows are right next to each other.
If we open them, it's just my air flowing into yours and yours into mine.
Is that even practical?
Finally, after Ye Yu insisted repeatedly, the windows were closed again.
Returning to his own space, Ye Yu lay on the bed, beginning to replay the events of the day in his mind.
Perhaps, this is what the world of cultivation is truly like.
Never knowing when danger will strike.
Although it was also a blessing in disguise, obtaining over a hundred decent quality souls. When unleashed, they respond like an extension of his own arm.
However, now being at the Azure Cloud Sect, he would avoid using moves like the Ten Thousand Souls Technique if possible.
Being discovered would be disastrous.
Apart from that, mastering the True Qinglian Thunder Sword Art quickly is also necessary.
This technique not only holds immense power, but also has a clear origin. No matter how it's used, no one can discern its secrets.
Thinking this through, Ye Yu immediately took out the True Qinglian Thunder Sword Art to study.
In just an hour's time, Ye Yu had already memorized all its contents.
All that remained was to digest it slowly.
Huh?
Why do I suddenly smell flowers?
Ye Yu turned his head to smell his pillow.
The scent was coming from there.
No, more precisely, it was left behind by Senior Sister Xie Muling.
Unexpectedly, although Senior Sister seemed cold, she smelled quite pleasant.
Just her behavior was a bit peculiar.
Ye Yu shook his head slightly. He didn't dwell too much on this matter.
Instead, he began a dream simulation.
...
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, five days had passed.
During this time, Ye Yu's luck was abysmal.
Five days, ten dream simulations.
Not only did he not gain any martial arts rewards, but he had only managed to advance a minor realm, reaching the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.
The reason was simple.
Each simulated life in the dream was short and disappointing.
The talents randomly given were also very poor.
Continuous failures kept occurring, making Ye Yu extremely frustrated.
On the sixth day, Ye Yu claimed illness and refused Hongluan's request to accompany her on another adventure.
During broad daylight, he began another simulation.
[Every dream is a new life for you!]
[Loading map and characters.]
[Selection completed!]
[Talent for this dream: Kill to Become a God (Gold)]
Seeing these shining golden words, Ye Yu even felt tears welling up in his eyes.
Ah, the legendary golden talent!
After waiting for so long, the system finally bestowed a golden talent.
[Kill to Become a God: Through killing others, you can continuously grow stronger.]
[This talent disregards all rules, such as natural talent and bottlenecks in cultivation.]
After hearing the system's explanation, Ye Yu quickly understood everything.
Wasn't this a path of slaughter?
If so, then let's hunt down everything!
[Age 0: You were abandoned at birth.]
[A kind-hearted farmer couple took you in.]
[Age 8: You met a passing immortal elder.]
[Upon inquiry, you learned that this person is an elder of the nearby Six Void Sect.]
[Although the Six Void Sect isn't large, being an elder there is akin to being a divine figure in your eyes.]
[You begged him to accept you as his disciple, but tragically, you were refused.]
