Good night, Little Friend Song. Aren't you sleeping with us?
Since it's not an illusion manifested from a 'Real Illusion,' then is Senior Sister Ye a surviving disciple of the Jadewater Pavilion from back then?
Or perhaps she was a disciple recruited by Pavilion Master Chu when he cast the 'Real Illusion'? Because in the 'Real Illusion,' the elders and branch pavilion masters of the Jadewater Pavilion were actively recruiting disciples.
Song Shuhang had just been thinking of introducing the Crying Old Man to the Jadewater Pavilion as a disciple—well, it seems now that the Crying Old Man's connection with the Jadewater Pavilion has come to an end.
Shuhang was certain that Senior Sister Ye was not a ghost. Senior Sister Ye had touched Song Shuhang's fingers twice while he was in a state of spiritual exorcism, but there was no sign that she had been exorcised.
If my senior sister were a ghost, she would have been directly released from suffering on the spot... Even if she was powerful enough to be released by Shuhang, at least she would have felt the need for a release.
"Then, Sect Master, is Senior Sister Ye alright?" Song Shuhang asked.
At this moment, Pavilion Master Chu let out a long yawn, looking very sleepy, as if he might fall asleep at any moment.
"Wake up, Pavilion Master Chu. Please at least answer my questions before you go to sleep." Song Shuhang knew Pavilion Master Chu's personality well.
She was so tired that she fell asleep the moment she wanted to, which was quite capricious.
Moreover, once she falls asleep, she forgets many important things—for example, the fact that Song Shuhang and Chu Chu were still in Time City back then is completely forgotten by her.
Pavilion Master Chu did not answer Song Shuhang. Her drowsiness grew stronger. As soon as she turned around, a spatial teleportation appeared behind her.
Then, she led Ye Si and stepped into the Space Gate —the other end of the Space Gate was her bedroom, 'Cloud Pavilion'.
Song Shuhang: "..."
Then, he stared at the Space Gate, which remained open for a long time. Gritting his teeth, he also crawled through the Space Gate.
The next moment, he reappeared in the Cloud Pavilion.
Before him, Pavilion Master Chu stretched and lay back on the large bed, her eyelids growing heavier and heavier...
"Pavilion Master Chu, at least answer me first!" Song Shuhang said urgently.
Pavilion Master Chu raised his eyes, glanced at Shuhang, and said, "Young friend Song, would you like to take a nap together?"
Song Shuhang: "..."
Senior, did you take the wrong medicine? Or did you forget to take your medicine today?
"Oh, you don't want to sleep together? Then you can sleep on the floor." Pavilion Master Chu tugged at the blanket and pulled it over himself and Ye Si.
"Good night, young friend Song," Pavilion Master Chu said softly.
Song Shuhang: "..."
Are you doing this on purpose? Believe me or not, I'll flip the bed! You can't even give me an answer in two words, yes or no?
In the blink of an eye, the even breathing of Pavilion Master Chu could be heard from the bed.
His breathing was steady and even.
In fact, with the cultivation level of Pavilion Master Chu, he no longer needed to breathe. However, Pavilion Master Chu would still unconsciously breathe when he fell asleep.
Song Shuhang sighed softly—was he supposed to act like Crying Old Man, standing guard outside Pavilion Master Chu's boudoir, waiting for her to wake up? But who knew how long Pavilion Master Chu would sleep?
Or, looking at the 'Song Shuhang Wood Ox Swordsman's Heart Gloves' in his hand—should he steel himself and use Appraisal Technique on Senior Sister Ye?
He fell into a coma during the last assessment of Senior Sister Ye.
But now, with the constant infusion of those 88,888 voices into his mind during his rest and sleep each day, Shuhang's mastery of the 'Appraisal Technique Secret Art' is becoming increasingly profound.
More information can be identified during the identification process, and the cost is gradually decreasing.
Should we go?
Song Shuhang looked at Senior Sister Ye and Pavilion Master Chu on the bed; what a beautiful sight to see two beauties sleeping soundly.
--Holy crap, if I had to go up and pull back the covers to examine myself, and then I'd be covered in blood, I'd feel like a pervert.
Or perhaps we should wait until Senior Sister Ye wakes up before trying again?
I wonder how long Pavilion Master Chu will sleep.
But Senior Sister Ye wouldn't sleep that long, would she?
As Shuhang thought this, the even breathing of Pavilion Master Chu kept echoing in his ears, each breath like hypnosis.
Before he knew it, Song Shuhang's eyelids were getting heavier and heavier.
Then, he collapsed limply to the ground.
And so I fell asleep.
******************************
Then, Shuhang felt himself Dream Entry again. The feeling of Dream Entry was different from that of a normal dream, and he could distinguish it through some subtle details.
"Wait, no, this isn't Dream Entry." Song Shuhang realized that his vision was in the sky, looking up, and he hadn't entered anyone's dream.
More importantly, this time the dream didn't have those 88,888 voices nagging in my ear.
So, who brought him into the dream?
It seems only 'Pavilion Master Chu' could do that, right?
The dream gradually became clearer.
Below his 'gaze' appeared a huge sect headquarters... it was the Jadewater Pavilion.
At this moment, the members of the Jadewater Pavilion stared nervously at the sky.
In the most conspicuous spot of the Jadewater Pavilion, Pavilion Master Chu, dressed in a dress, stood ramrod straight with her fists clenched.
In the picture, the head of the Pavilion Master Chu has hair that only reaches his waist, and there is no sign of languid sleepiness on his face. Although he lacks a bit of the lazy beauty, he appears more energetic.
The defenses of the Jadewater Pavilion are maintained at their strongest level.
Countless disciples occupied their positions, pouring their spiritual power into the defensive array of the Jadewater Pavilion.
The Spirit Stone accumulated in the Jadewater Pavilion were all used by Pavilion Master Chu to power the defensive formation.
Shuhang couldn't find Ye Si among so many disciples; the scene was too chaotic. Perhaps she was somewhere out of sight.
In the dream's sky, a great battle between cultivators must be taking place.
However, from Song Shuhang's perspective, he could only look down at the Jadewater Pavilion and could not see the battle between cultivators in the sky.
Only occasionally could one see ripples or sparks erupting from the defensive array of the Jadewater Pavilion. These were the aftershocks of spells cast by cultivators fighting in the sky.
The corpses of powerful cultivators also fell. These cultivators did not choose to 'dissipate into Dissolution into the Dao's at the moment of falling, but instead chose to self-destruct and explode.
However, their self-destruction did not harm the opponent at all, but instead continuously depleted the defenses of the Jadewater Pavilion.
[That's right, it's the scene of the destruction of the ancient Jadewater Pavilion.]
When the city gate catches fire, the fish in the moat suffer as a result.
The ancient Jadewater Pavilion lived a life almost entirely free from worldly strife, simply cultivating peacefully within its own territory.
However, their sect's location happened to be near the battlefield of five powerful cultivator sects. As a result, they were drawn into the battle between the five powerful sects.
[However, although the battle between the five sects was fierce, judging from the footage, the main battlefield was not at the Jadewater Pavilion. At most, it was just some aftershocks of the battle. Could the aftershocks alone have completely destroyed Jadewater Pavilion? And left only Pavilion Master Chu?]
Did the five sects, in the final moments of the battle, use some kind of forbidden magic, similar to a 'forbidden spell' from a novel, to instantly destroy everything around them?
Or perhaps, something dramatic happened at the end of that great battle?
Just as Song Shuhang was pondering... the corpses of cultivators in the sky fell down like dumplings being dropped into a pot, crashing in large swaths onto the Guardian Sect Formation of the Jadewater Pavilion!
Moreover, the corpses of these cultivators didn't have time to self-destruct when they fell.
Song Shuhang still couldn't see the scene in the sky from his angle, but... Pavilion Master Chu's eyes turned surprised, and even a little panicked.
Something's wrong. The frequency of cultivators dying is too high, a hundred times faster than before.
[What happened?] Song Shuhang wondered to himself.
As he thought this, his gaze was no longer limited to the Jadewater Pavilion; the battle scene in the sky also came into his 'eyes'.
In the sky, the five sects were divided into two camps.
One side is an alliance composed of two Daoist sects with different Daoist School and one Buddhist Sect.
On their opposite side were a sect shrouded in demonic mist and a sect composed entirely of humanoid demons.
At this moment, members of both sides were being killed continuously, but they were not killed by the opposing side.
It is a suddenly appearing third-party force, a force mostly composed of Demon Catchers, with a population of over three thousand.
The attire of Demon Catchers has remained largely unchanged throughout history, making it instantly recognizable to Song Shuhang.
The Demon Catchers' fighting power is abnormally strong, and coupled with the fact that the five major sects have been fighting for a long time, they are already at their limit.
After the Demon Catchers entered the fray, they began a frenzied killing spree.
The ancient Demon Catchers were very powerful, even stronger than ordinary cultivators.
In Primordial Era, they frantically captured monsters and researched various methods to deal with them, while also developing many forbidden techniques.
Furthermore, every Demon Catchers accumulates experience in fighting demons, making them incredibly skilled in real combat.
In addition, there are various powerful magical artifacts made by Demon Catchers using the bodies of demons.
After the Demon Catchers joined the fray, they went on a killing spree.
Among the demon Demon Catchers, one young Demon Catchers stood out.
He had nearly ten eyes of various monsters transplanted onto his arms. When he spread his arms, all sorts of terrifying Ancient Demon innate spells were unleashed, including petrification, illusion, strange light shooting from his eyes, and real fire.
Around him, whether demons or humans, all fell dead.
Members of the five major sects all used their escape techniques in an attempt to flee.
However, in the void, there was a net formed by ten thousand Demon-Binding Rope, cutting off their escape route.
There was no way to ascend to heaven, nor could there be Earth Escape.
This team of Demon Catchers came prepared and had no intention of letting the members of the five major sects leave alive.
Below, Pavilion Master Chu's expression grew increasingly grim.
These Demon Catchers have gone to such lengths; would they really let the people of the Jadewater Pavilion go?
Pavilion Master Chu immediately ordered the people in the Jadewater Pavilion to prepare for battle.
Her face still showed hesitation; should she let the disciples of the Jadewater Pavilion directly participate in the battle?
The battles in the sky were all between cultivators at the Fifth-Grade Spirit Emperor level or above. Within the Jadewater Pavilion, there were fewer than thirty cultivators at the Fifth-Grade Spirit Emperor level.
Then, in a very short time, all the members of the five sects were slaughtered, with none surviving.
It was too fast; so fast that the disciples of the Jadewater Pavilion didn't even have time to react.
The next moment, more than three thousand Demon Catchers rushed towards the Jadewater Pavilion.
