Nanke Dreamscape

Nanke Dream!

Legend has it that there was once a scholar who went to the capital to take the imperial examination, hoping to achieve fame and success. He became the top scholar, served as an official, and experienced the ups and downs of officialdom. When he finally woke up, he realized that it was just a dream. However, although it was just a dream, the experiences in the dream gave him a sense of having seen through the ways of the world.

Inside the Dragon Tomb, Zhuge Xiang showed no politeness or restraint, directly pulling up the Dragon Ancestor's tombstone and storing it in his storage space. If the Dragon Ancestor saw such a rebellious act, he would surely punish him.

Within the Dragon Tomb, every dragon son and grandson who entered was filled with reverence for their Dragon Ancestor. Despite the countless treasures within, none dared to remove the Dragon Tomb Dragon Ancestor's tombstone. Only someone as unscrupulous as Zhuge Xiang would dare to commit such a rebellious act.

"Waaaaah...".

As Zhuge Xiang pulled up the Dragon Ancestor's tombstone and stored it in his storage space, transforming it into a broken South Heaven Gate, the surrounding gray mist suddenly began to fluctuate irregularly, like boiling water.

Countless eerie, low moaning sounds faintly emanated from my ears, like the howls of powerful, vengeful ghosts, and a sudden sense of fear arose in my heart.

"Don't be so stingy. It's just that your tombstone was removed. I can just find you another one. You know, I'm now an ally of your Dragon Clan..." Sensing the change, Zhuge Xiang was cautious, but he spoke carelessly to the Dragon Ancestor's tomb.

The strange changes around Zhuge Xiang did not cease upon hearing his words; on the contrary, they intensified. Then, numerous Profound Mysteries lines appeared out of Void, surrounding Zhuge Xiang and forming a profound and unfathomable Formation...

"Is this retribution?" Zhuge Xiang thought to himself helplessly as he looked at the Formation that had trapped him.

Who would have thought that the Dragon Ancestor would set a trap on his own tombstone? It seems he feared that his descendants would covet the power of the eighty-one Spirit Vein?

Buzz...

Regardless of Zhuge Xiang's thoughts, the activation of the Formation remained unchanged, unaffected by his emotions. The Formation, appearing out of thin air, emitted a dense light in the Void, followed by countless wisps of pink smoke. This made Zhuge Xiang feel drowsy; his head seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and his consciousness grew increasingly blurred...

"Illusion Formation? Another Illusion Formation?" Having spent ten years in the Illusionary Realm of the Illusionary Nether King, Zhuge Xiang had become quite adept at understanding Illusion Formation, almost to the point of being an expert through experience. Before his consciousness completely faded, this was the only thought left in his mind...

"Hehehe, has my Dragon Clan finally produced a descendant who dares to surpass his ancestors?" In his slumber, Zhuge Xiang arrived in a pink Heaven and Earth. At the same time, a majestic voice appeared in the Void, with a hint of satisfaction in its tone.

"Who's speaking?" Zhuge Xiang looked around cautiously. Was this an illusion? It seemed he had fallen into Illusion Formation.

In this pink world, nothing can be seen but this one color. However, in this pink ocean, one can occasionally see a colossal creature, revealing only a glimpse of its scales or claws—a dragon.

Hidden within the pink ocean is an enormous Dragon Clan, so large that it is rarely seen.

"I am the Dragon Ancestor, the Primordial Ancestor of the Dragon Clan born from chaos..." A colossal Dragon Clan Phantom Image churned in the pink ocean, while a majestic voice continued to resound, "However, although I am the Dragon Ancestor, I am merely a remnant of Memory. Perhaps I have already perished and vanished?"

When speaking of his own death, the Dragon Clan's voice remained surprisingly calm, as if he had already seen through life and death. He simply continued to explain the existence of the Illusion Formation, saying, "The Dragon Tomb is a treasure I left for the Dragon Clan. Here, all Dragon Clan descendants can gain experience and achieve extraordinary things, but these achievements can never surpass mine..."

"My lifelong ambition is to witness the glory of the Dragon Clan. Therefore, no matter what trials one undergoes in the Dragon Tomb, one's achievements can never surpass mine. Thus, I need a Dragon Clan descendant with the conviction to surpass me. To pull out my tombstone means that one does not have unwavering respect in one's heart, and only then is it possible to surpass me..."

"Having said so much, let me now explain your current situation. The fact that you can hear these words I left behind means that you have removed the tombstone and entered the Nanke Dreamscape. Your task is simple: to live your life in the Nanke Dreamscape, to experience this life with your heart, nothing more..."

"Legend has it that once lived a life in a Nanke Dream, and upon waking, he saw through the ways of the world. This Nanke Dreamscape was inspired by that Nanke Dream. In this Nanke Dreamscape, you too must live your life. Whether you succeed or fail, it is still your life. I hope these insights will help you refine your mind and lay a solid foundation for your future ascension..."

After saying these words, the Dragon Ancestor in the pink ocean disappeared, and the churning pink ocean calmed down. After hearing the words left behind by the Dragon Ancestor, Zhuge Xiang finally understood what this Illusion Formation was all about. It was meant that he had to spend his entire life in the Illusion Formation to refine his mind and improve his mental state.

"Hey, I'm not a member of your Dragon Clan, let me out..." Although this Illusion Formation seemed harmless, and it was just a matter of walking through the Illusionary Realm, the thought of entering it and spending one's entire life there still filled Zhuge Xiang with a deep-seated aversion.

However, after the Dragon Ancestor finished speaking, he completely disappeared. No matter what Zhuge Xiang said, there was no response. At the same time, Zhuge Xiang's consciousness also fell into a deep sleep and entered Illusionary Realm...

Inside the Dragon Tomb, Ying Wushuang wandered aimlessly. Thick gray mist filled the area, making it impossible to discern her location. To be precise, Ying Wushuang was lost, and for so long, she still hadn't found the Dragon Ancestor's tomb...

Inside the Dragon Tomb, the gray mist could aid in cultivation, and it could occasionally transform into Emperor's Aura, enhancing Ying Wushuang's Imperial World Shocking Merit. However, Ying Wushuang knew very well that the true treasure within the Dragon Tomb was the tomb of the Dragon Ancestor.

Legend has it that the Dragon Ancestor's tomb was entirely made up of thousands upon thousands of treasures, and that each tombstone was imprisoned by eighty-one Spirit Vein.

However, reaching the Dragon Ancestor's tomb requires a great deal of Luck. The surrounding area is shrouded in gray mist, severely limiting both vision and Divine Sense. No matter where you go, the scenery is almost identical, and you'll even encounter powerful Ghost Dragon from time to time...

Initially, when she entered this Dragon Tomb, she encountered the Ghost Dragon, and Ying Wushuang barely escaped with her life. However, in the past period of time, Ying Wushuang's cultivation has improved rapidly. Now, her cultivation has reached the Tenth Layer of the Tribulation Crossing Realm, and she may trigger the Immortal-Demon Tribulation at any time and enter the Great Accomplishment Stage. With Ying Wushuang's current strength, even if she can't defeat those Ghost Dragons, escaping shouldn't be a problem.

"What's going on? We've been encountering more and more Ghost Dragon lately," Ying Wushuang wondered, having once again evaded Ghost Dragon's pursuit.

In just two or three hours, Ying Wushuang encountered seven or eight Ghost Dragon one after another. Having stayed in this Dragon Tomb for more than two months, Ying Wushuang could clearly sense that something was wrong.

"Wait, could it be? We've arrived at the Dragon Clan's burial grounds?" Amidst her doubts, a thought suddenly flashed through Ying Wushuang's mind, and her eyes lit up.

Legend has it that the corpses of the Dragon Clan are buried amidst endless treasures. Every adventurer who enters the Dragon Tomb is entitled to take one treasure destined for them from among the mountains of riches. What will they obtain?

As if to confirm the idea in Ying Wushuang's mind, after observing the unchanging gray mist for more than two months, suddenly, a huge outline appeared in Ying Wushuang's eyes. Although she couldn't see clearly what it was, for Ying Wushuang, the joy of finally seeing a different view made her rush towards the enormous outline...

Mountain!

Upon seeing the enormous outline of True Appearance of Mount Lu, Ying Wushuang's beautiful eyes were filled with shock. A mountain was nothing special, but a mountain made up of thousands upon thousands of treasures deeply shocked even Ying Wushuang, the princess of the Great Qin Empire.

This is an extravagant display of wealth; even the Great Qin Imperial Family has never witnessed such a lavish spectacle.

"By the way, isn't it rumored that the tombstone of this Dragon Tomb suppresses eighty-one Spirit Vein? And I've heard that the tombstone is seventy-seven feet tall, so why haven't I seen it?" Although she was shocked by the mountain of treasures, Ying Wushuang quickly thought of the legendary Dragon Ancestor's tombstone. But looking around, the seventy-seven-foot-tall tombstone, which should have been obvious, was nowhere to be seen.

"Huh? There's someone there? Who is it? Why would someone be in this Dragon Tomb?" However, there was no tombstone, but a figure in the gray mist caught Ying Wushuang's attention. Filled with curiosity, Ying Wushuang walked towards the figure.

"Zhuge Xiang!?" Upon arriving before the figure and seeing its face, Ying Wushuang couldn't hide her surprise and exclaimed in a low voice. (To be continued...)
