Chapter 170: Scene in a Dream
“Therefore, the Theory of the Stars is only an explanation for the spirits of all living things in the world.” Qin Xiaoxi nodded.
“That’s right, that’s roughly what it means.” As Jiang Yun said this, the Guiding Lamp in front of him suddenly stopped in midair.
“Why did it stop?” Qin Xiaoxi asked.
The Guiding Lamp stopped in front of them and began to flicker bit by bit. Sometimes it was dim and sometimes it became bright. It was like a pair of eyes that were emitting light in the darkness that was constantly blinking at them.
Jiang Yun also stopped in his tracks.
In the next second, another light appeared in the dark hall. This light flickered with a faint blue light. When Jiang Yun and Qin Xiaoxi looked carefully, this light seemed to be a flame flickering in the darkness, the strange thing about this flame was that it actually emitted a strange blue color.
Before the two of them could react, another faint blue flame appeared closer to them.
Then, a row… two rows… three rows. The faint blue flame rose one after another in the air. On both sides of Qin Xiaoxi and Jiang Yun, from the front to the back, it lit up again and again. Finally, the light of the flame filled up the entire hall.
The appearance of the hall was also clear at a glance because of the flame which illuminated the s.p.a.ce. It was a huge hall that was s.p.a.cious and also very long. The surroundings were piled up with carefully cut stone bricks by craftsmen. Near the two sides of the wall, the torches made of stone were placed at a distance from each other. The flames that Jiang Yun and Qin Xiaoxi saw were burning from the basin on the torches.
Following that, two rows of stone pillars stood from the end of the hall, and they were arranged in an orderly manner until they reached the huge stone door that they had entered.
“This…” When Qin Xiaoxi saw this scene, she couldn’t quite put her finger on it. It was almost exactly the same as the scene in her dream. She still remembered the nightmare she had on the ship. He Zhao, who had gone mad and turned into a huge fierce monster, had killed her sister in this hall. Now that she thought about it, that dream was very vivid.
Qin Xiaoxi couldn’t help but clench her fists at the thought.
“What’s wrong?” Jiang Yun seemed to have noticed Qin Xiaoxi’s strange behavior and asked quickly.
“Nothing. I just feel that this scene is the same as the one in my dream. The same hall, two rows of the same stone pillars, and even the floor were exactly the same.” Qin Xiaoxi’s expression turned a little gloomy when she said this.
“Dream? When did you dream?” Jiang Yun was very curious.
“A few days ago when I was on the ship, I had a dream. In the dream, I was in this place, and of course, there was my sister and…”
“And? Did you dream of anything else?” Jiang Yun looked at Qin Xiaoxi.
“He Zhao. It’s just that He Zhao in the dream seemed to have gone mad. He didn’t even have a human body.” Qin Xiaoxi couldn’t help but reveal a trace of fear in her eyes when she said this.
Jiang Yun roughly knew what Qin Xiaoxi was going to say next, and he quickly stopped her. “Everything in the dream is the opposite. Moreover, if He Zhao goes mad, I don’t find it strange at all. The Power of Blood Shadow will devour anyone who is not mentally strong enough, and He Zhao is like that.”
“Although dreams are the opposite of reality, the scene in the dream is almost the same as here. Do you know, other than these blue flames, I feel like I’ve been here a long time ago.”
“This should be a kind of spiritual power prediction, which means that your spiritual power has reached a certain level. However, your dream only magnifies the worries in your heart into this scene.” Jiang Yun thought for a while.
“Why do you say that?”
“When a cultivator reaches a certain level of spiritual power, they will have a super-strong sense of awareness. Some people, through a flash of memory, recall certain things that have happened before, but in fact, they haven’t. And some people, like you, may construct a scene that will appear or even never appear through a dream, but in fact, these two situations may not happen at all, and have never happened before.” Jiang Yun explained to Qin Xiaoxi seriously why she had such a dream.
Qin Xiaoxi nodded in agreement.
“So, my spiritual power has reached a level where I can breakthrough?”
“Almost, but this is a bottleneck. To break through, just by improving your spiritual power is not enough. You need to gain some insight and training to break through this bottleneck.”
“Does that mean I can improve my realm immediately?” Qin Xiaoxi was very surprised.
“Yes, your original strength doesn’t need to be limited to the Spirit King Realm. You can go even higher.” Jiang Yun nodded.
Qin Xiaoxi was a lot happier when she heard this.
“But, the crazy He Zhao that you mentioned was just magnified by you in your heart. I think you must have been worried about whether you could successfully obtain the Holy Saint Snow Ganoderma and save your sister.” Jiang Yun smiled.
“Are you a roundworm? It seemed to be like what you said. At that time, there were too many dangers at sea, but now I am different.”
Qin Xiaoxi became complacent.
“Yes, I think you shouldn’t think about this now. Look, we have successfully crossed the Sea of the Northern Region and defeated countless Northern Region snow monsters. In the end, we are almost at the peak of the Holy Saint Snow Mountain. The clues also indicated that a Holy Saint Snow Ganoderma truly exists in this place. So, if we don’t succeed, it will be a shame.”
Qin Xiaoxi nodded.
“Well, if you put it that way, I don’t think it’s wrong at all. After experiencing so many dangers, are you afraid of not getting the Holy Saint Snow Ganoderma?”
