"Heh, marvelous! These demon cultivators have all been bewitched!
Sound, form, taste, touch-all appearances are empty, fashioned entirely by the mind. Fellow Daoist, you used Netherdream Incense to draw their souls into dreams and employed Nightmare Suppression to turn the formation layout into a dreamscape. Then you linked that dreamscape to reality, achieving dream made reality, both dream and truth. What a truly inspired design!
Even more praiseworthy is how you used the scents of the Incense Path to reflect the mind and transmit incense resonance, awakening olfactory memories through Empathic Perception and shared feeling to bewilder the spirit and conjure illusions. Truth and falsehood became even harder to distinguish. Had I not known its secrets beforehand, I could have cracked my skull thinking and still failed to discover the key."
"Your formation is the truly ingenious part, Fellow Daoist. The four symbols merge into primordial chaos and cycle freely, incorporating the mysteries of the Great Void cave heaven to fold space into endlessly recurring loops. Without that, the medium here could not have carried the effects smoothly, and Tailwind Incense would have been far less effective."
Concealing the guiding array outside also greatly reduced the chance of discovery by our enemies while protecting the incense array I established, leaving only openings for ventilation. That is not something an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator could accomplish."
"You flatter me. It was your guidance that breathed new life into the Four Symbols Derivative Primordial Chaos Formation I knew."
"The credit belongs to your skill, Fellow Daoist. I merely offered a few broad ideas, and you actually developed them."
"Hahahaha..."
Li Ling and Lin Ji exchanged smiles, their hearts in perfect accord. Both felt as though they had found a kindred spirit who understood the music of towering mountains and flowing waters.
