A false timeline, a real dreamer
In the Yunmeng Jade Pool Realm, Immortality Tree.
The Eight Trigrams Furnace was burning fiercely, and Li Boyang, unusually, Hand Seals, forming hand seals, and hovered in mid-air.
Behind Li Boyang, Jinjiao and Yinjiao stared nervously at the Eight Trigrams Furnace, each pointing their gourds forward.
Boom!
With a sudden, deafening roar, the Eight Trigrams Furnace, capable of refining even heaven and earth, exploded.
The furnace lid was blown off by a powerful force.
The Taiji Diagram directly in front of the furnace was trembling uncontrollably.
"Jinjiao!"
Seeing this, Li Boyang decisively shouted a stern command.
Without the slightest hesitation, Jinjiao opened the lid of the [Purple-Gold Red Gourd] and sucked the powerful impact into the gourd.
Buzz!
This time, the [Purple-Gold Red Gourd] began to shake violently.
A purple-gold light constantly danced across its surface, impacting this precious treasure as if it were alive.
Fortunately, Jinjiao had not slackened his cultivation over the years, and his natal Law Treasure, the [Purple-Gold Red Gourd], was naturally no ordinary object. After realizing that what he had absorbed this time possessed extraordinary power...
Jinjiao immediately circulated his internal Yuan Qi, maximizing the power of his [Body-Protecting Gang Qi] to forcefully suppress the still trembling [Purple-Gold Red Gourd]. "Ah!"
A faint, agonizing wail emanated from the [Purple-Gold Red Gourd].
Jinjiao, however, simply continued circulating his Yuan Qi throughout his body without changing his expression, as if he hadn't heard the scream at all.
Within moments, the agonizing screams ceased, and the [Purple-Gold Red Gourd] returned to its tranquil state.
"What... is that thing that came out this time?"
I witnessed the entire refining process of the [Purple-Gold Red Gourd].
After a brief hesitation, Yinjiao's eyes were filled with disbelief.
No one knew better than Yinjiao the power of Jinjiao's [Purple-Gold Red Gourd].
In past sparring sessions with Jinjiao, even if Yinjiao managed to gain the upper hand a few times through sneak attacks, he would always be ruthlessly suppressed by the [Purple-Gold Red Gourd] afterward. It is no exaggeration to say that even if Heavenly Deity had just emerged from the Eight Trigrams Furnace, it would be impossible for him to survive inside the [Purple-Gold Red Gourd] for so long.
"It seems Xiluo has gotten herself into quite a bit of trouble this time."
Noticing the difference between the [Purple-Gold Red Gourd] and others, Li Boyang couldn't help but mutter to himself.
The next second, Li Boyang spun his palm forward.
Then the [Taiji Diagram] naturally split into yin and yang fish, which directly flowed into the Eight Trigrams Furnace.
The interplay of Yin and Yang shapes the Eight Trigrams!
Without any further impact, the Eight Trigrams Furnace quickly returned to calm.
The Samadhi True Fire in the furnace burned even more fiercely.
Only at this moment did Li Boyang finally have a moment to flick his sleeve towards the sky, and the [Diagram of Mountains, Rivers, and the Land] immediately unfolded infinitely above the heads of the three of them. If the previous unfolding of the [Diagram of Mountains, Rivers, and the Land] was merely the unfolding of another scroll.
The [Diagram of Mountains, Rivers, and the Land] that is now unfolding is replacing the entire world of the Yunmeng Jade Pool Realm.
The sky was obscured, the earth was changed...
It's as if you've suddenly found yourself in a dreamlike world that's almost real, or as if you've truly entered a strange new world.
Only the Immortality Tree beneath the feet of the three people has retained its original appearance.
"That's the Grandmother Mountain God!"
Suddenly pointing ahead, Yinjiao's exclamation successfully caught the attention of Jinjiao and Li Boyang.
Following the direction the other person was pointing, the scene in the [Diagram of Mountains, Rivers, and the Land] changed accordingly, and the original perspective began to zoom in. It was Mount Kunlun, and it was the Mount Kunlun where the [Heavenly Emperor's Capital] still existed.
The cloud ladder that stretches from the foot of the mountain all the way to the sky is the legendary [Long Stairway of Divine Ascension].
However, judging from the appearance of this era, it is clearly impossible that this was the reign of the Heavenly Emperor ten thousand years ago.
Especially when the sun slowly sets from the sky, the temperature on the ground begins to rise at a visible rate, and the distortion of the air even causes everything to become hazy.
But amidst this devastation, a goddess with a leopard's head and a human body stood majestically.
She was draped in a magnificent feathered robe, with countless ribbons fluttering around her, forming an absolute defensive domain.
Earth, fire, water, wind, thunder, lightning, mountains, and marshes...
Nothing external can intrude into this domain, much less cause it harm.
Only when a few gods couldn't restrain themselves and transformed back into their true forms from natural disasters would Xiluo reluctantly raise her eyes to look at them.
But it was just a fleeting glance.
Without the slightest unnecessary movement, the ribbon on Xiluo's back naturally transformed into an iron fist and slammed down.
Boom!
A deafening roar echoed in all directions, and the wails of the gods reverberated in the ears of the three.
It was only at this moment that Yinjiao noticed that Xiluo was actually being besieged by a large group of Heavenly Deity.
Those earth fires, waters, winds, thunder, lightning, mountains, and marshes are not natural phenomena at all, but rather Heavenly Deity who have manifested as natural disasters.
"It's the Golden Crow!"
His pupils suddenly contracted, and Jinjiao turned his gaze into the depths of the Mount Kunlun.
That was the boundary between the [Long Stairway of Divine Ascension] and the [Heavenly Emperor's Capital], where a young man clad in golden armor and wearing a golden crown was indifferently watching the siege.
Two crested feathers shot into the sky, and his golden armor shone brightly.
The young man stood silently at the juncture of heaven and earth, yet no one dared to underestimate his power.
Because the descent of the sun was precisely the result of this young man's efforts.
Chi is the Heavenly Emperor of this world and this era, the embodiment of the sun on earth.
"That can't be right!?"
Wasn't Hao Jun trapped and killed in the past?
How could Chi possibly escape the long river of history and possess such a future?
Jinjiao's words revealed the essence of this world—this is a future timeline, a dream evolved by Xiluo through her method of Attaining the Dao in Dreams. Under normal circumstances, Xiluo would develop the Dao and practice her Path of Spirit in dreams.
Therefore, whether it was collecting the names of the gods or trying to verify oneself, it was all just a dream of the next day.
When Xiluo wakes up from her dream, everything will disappear, and this fictional timeline will naturally cease to exist.
Ultimately, the method of Attaining the Dao in Dreams is merely Attaining the Dao in Dreams.
The key to turning dreams into Refining Falsehood into Reality reality.
However, there are always exceptions, especially when Xiluo wants to Attaining the Dao in Dreams, she inevitably infringes on the interests of some Great Heavenly Deity.
Although these Great Heavenly Deity were merely a dream of Xiluo, their very existence was not illusory.
Among countless timelines related to the future, no matter how absurd or outrageous the possibility, as long as such a possibility exists, such a timeline will inevitably be born.
Therefore, when those Great Heavenly Deity realize that they are merely a dream of others, they will inevitably retaliate in anger, making their existence a reality. This is a reverse Refining Falsehood into Reality, and it is also the biggest drawback of the method of Attaining the Dao in Dreams.
It was obvious that the golden-armored youth was the Great Heavenly Deity in this dream, an awakened being who wanted to descend to the mortal world through Xiluo's body. The lessons of Zhuang Zhou and Boshun were still fresh in their minds, which could not help but make Jinjiao and Yinjiao feel alarmed.
However, this is where the strangeness begins.
Even the lowest level of a true Great Heavenly Deity is Dao Assimilator Refining Spirit and Returning to Emptiness.
They may not have embarked on the path to Dao Proving yet, but they are definitely not ordinary Heavenly Deity who can be easily fooled.
How could Xiluo, who had not yet Refining Spirit and Returning to Emptiness, endure for so long under the watchful gaze of this Great Heavenly Deity?
