"Actually, it's very difficult for the person affected to notice this method. They won't sense anything unusual. The poison won't take effect immediately after entering the body. It will only activate once they fall asleep and enter a dream. As long as the Dream Eating Poison remains unresolved, their consciousness will stay trapped in the dream, never to awaken. Being trapped in a dream forever is an immense torment to both the mind and the body." Jiang Chen spoke slowly.
Jiang Chen had just examined the symptoms on Jian Feng's body, and they were exactly the same as those caused by the Dream Eating Poison.

The Dream Eating Poison would take advantage of that moment to activate.
When a person was awake, the spirit energy within their body would circulate. If the Dream Eating Poison tried to flare up then, it would not be powerful enough.
But once they fell into deep sleep, when they were at their weakest, the Dream Eating Poison would erupt. After being affected, they would be unable to awaken.

They had previously clashed with the forces from the Dark Mountain
