Weaving Dreams, the Wind Baboon Succeeded

By then, Tang Ya had come to terms with it under Bei Bei's comfort. After all, everyone had their own ambitions and missions. Both she and Huo Yuhao wanted to establish their own sects.

Tang Ya clenched her fists and encouraged both herself and Huo Yuhao. "Little Yuhao, let's work hard together. We'll definitely succeed."

Huo Yuhao nodded and half-jokingly said, "Sister Tang Ya, if you ever run into trouble someday, you can come to Huo Territory."

Tang Ya burst into laughter. "Sure. If there really comes a day when I can't hold on any longer, I'll definitely be the first to find out where Huo Territory is, then rush straight over to seek refuge with you, Little Yuhao."

Huo Yuhao dared swear on Huo Gua's biological father's life.

He definitely did not have any thoughts of "turning the Tang Sect into Huo Territory through backroom dealings."

He simply felt that Tang Ya truly had it hard. She had always wanted to quickly raise her cultivation and do something to restore the Tang Sect's glory, yet her progress was slow because the quality of her Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul was too low. Still, she had never given up or backed down.

Her martial soul was, so far, nothing more than an ordinary Blue Silver Grass. Yet at an age even slightly younger than Bei Bei's, she had likewise cultivated to become a Soul Elder.

This showed that Tang Ya was a very hardworking yet stubborn girl.

In the Original Work, what Tang Ya and Bei Bei were criticized for was carelessly leading Huo Gua down the irreversible path of cheating.

But it could not be denied that Tang Ya and Bei Bei's kindness toward Huo Yuhao was straightforward, uncomplicated kindness.

Option Quest completed. Reward: Burning Arts (Yellow Tier Low Grade, can advance by devouring any flame)

Joy appeared in Huo Yuhao's eyes. Once he received his first Heavenly Flame, then found a Beast Fire in the Star Dou Great Forest, he would have the initial version of the Buddha's Wrath Fire Lotus.

Bei Bei patted Tang Ya on the shoulder and comforted her. "Xiao Ya, don't be too sad. There's plenty of time ahead of us. We'll have chances to grow our numbers in the future."

Tang Ya rolled her eyes at him. "What do you know? At least I still have you, a founding disciple. Little Yuhao is all alone right now. Speaking of which, he has it even harder than I do."

Bei Bei smiled gently. "Little Brother Huo, it's getting late. To be safe, once we've obtained the Soul Ring, we'll take you out of the Star Dou Great Forest."

"Xiao Ya is already a level-thirty Soul Elder. If we're lucky, we might be able to find a suitable soul beast for Xiao Ya in the outer region of the Star Dou Great Forest."

"Alright."

Huo Yuhao nodded. In any case, he had already obtained both Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Electrolux in one stroke. This could be considered a perfect conclusion.

Now, he only had to wait for the quest he had chosen when he first left the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, the one whose "reward depended on the magnitude of the opportunity." Once seven days had passed—once tonight was over—the reward would be automatically calculated.

He now had the cultivation technique, the Burning Arts, as well.

Ideally, an opportunity on Electrolux's level should at least grant him something like a Sub-fire of Strange Fire. He did not dare hope for a sub-fire ranked in the top ten of the Heavenly Flame Ranking; a sub-fire ranked beyond the top ten would be more than enough.

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao no longer dwelled on it. "Sister Tang Ya, Brother Bei Bei, we can go now."

"Alright, Yuhao. Stay close."

Bei Bei and Tang Ya started walking ahead, while Huo Yuhao followed behind, preparing to study his newly acquired Soul Skill, Mental Dream Weaving, and how to use Dreamlike Fate Silk to weave dreams.

He already understood the principle. As for the specifics, he would have to put them into practice himself.

The pearly-white Soul Ring glimmered as he began weaving a dream.

A massive gold-white Nine-Pointed Star Array floated vertically behind Huo Yuhao. Several gold-white threads extended from the circular ring of the light array behind him, slowly winding about in a regular pattern. These threads were Dreamlike Fate Silk.

The stronger Huo Yuhao's Mental Power became, the more Dreamlike Fate Silk he could release, allowing him to weave more complex dreams.

Bei Bei noticed that Huo Yuhao was adapting to his newly acquired Soul Skill and felt puzzled.

Is this Little Brother Huo's Soul Skill? The Soul Ring is white, and it really does look like a Ten-Year Soul Ring. But the commotion caused by this Soul Skill doesn't seem like that of a ten-year Soul Skill.

Under Huo Yuhao's mental control, all the gold-white fate threads automatically began weaving themselves like fleeting glimmers, as beautiful and ephemeral as pearls on water and hibiscus blossoms.

A moment later.

They wove an ethereal gold-white Light Orb that emerged from the light array behind Huo Yuhao.

Within the Light Orb was the scene it carried—a dream Huo Yuhao had woven through his thoughts.

The dream scenario was something Huo Yuhao had just thought of on the spot, with a Wind Baboon as its protagonist.

The ten-year Wind Baboon had its perception disrupted and mistook a two-meter-tall sapling for Huo Yuhao. It swiftly pounced forward and slashed the body of "Huo Yuhao—the tree" into two with one claw.

That was right. Once the Wind Baboon fell into the dream, its five senses would be disrupted, and its subconscious would guide it into making the wrong choice. It had successfully killed the "Child of Destiny."

The Wind Baboon—it—had succeeded.

It had slain a god, or so it had.

With a thought from Huo Yuhao, the ethereal Light Orb floated before him.

Bei Bei and Tang Ya stopped walking and curiously came over to look at the scene within the Light Orb.

Tang Ya looked intrigued. "Little Yuhao, is your Spirit Eyes Martial Soul's new Soul Skill recording scenes that you've encountered?"

"Uh..."

The scene inside the Light Orb showed Huo Yuhao getting killed, while he was standing right here, alive and well.

He truly did not know whether Tang Ya's mind had temporarily failed to turn over, whether she had low emotional intelligence, or whether she was genuinely a little dim.

Bei Bei helplessly rubbed his forehead. "Xiao Ya, didn't you look carefully? Inside the Light Orb, the Wind Baboon mistook a small tree for Little Brother Huo, then chopped the tree in half with one claw."

"This is obviously a Soul Skill that can create scenarios on its own."

"Oh, oh. Then can it only record images?" Tang Ya asked curiously. "How can it effectively attack enemies?"

Huo Yuhao gave a simple explanation. "This is a dream I wove. It can merge into an enemy's mind, disrupt their perception, and make them fall into a dream, using their subconscious to guide their actions."

"But the prerequisite is that both the quality and quantity of my Mental Power are greater than theirs."

Tang Ya was astonished. "Isn't this control—"

She stopped halfway through, then thought for a moment before smiling sweetly. "Little Yuhao, don't use this kind of Soul Skill to do bad things."

"Don't worry, Sister Xiao Ya. This Soul Skill has rather high requirements for Mental Power. I definitely won't use it lightly," Huo Yuhao replied.

It seemed that later, he would need to research whether Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's internal mental reservoir could be used by him to weave dreams.

The Fate Gear had turned a little in his favor, granting him a Soul Skill different from the Original Work. He definitely needed to properly develop its effects.

At the same time, a claw covered in golden scales and fur, wreathed in Golden Flame, stepped across the boundary into the outer region of the Star Dou Great Forest.

The soul beast, which had three eyes flickering with pale golden halos and looked somewhat like a lion, raised its head toward the outer region of the Star Dou Great Forest. Obvious confusion filled its eyes.

"What is going on... Why is there a fate aura similar to mine in the outer region of the Star Dou Great Forest?"
