Chapter 462: Chapter 382: Renowned Among the Human Race, Swords Sing to the Ninth Heaven_2

For a moment, he didn’t know whether to feel proud or sad.

To be honest, he didn’t have any grand thoughts about the conflict between the Human Race and the Demon Clan.

He would align with whichever side was more convenient to use.

As for fighting and killing, or the so-called racial righteousness, he had no interest in it at all.

What he pursued had always been the idea of Tao Achievement and eternal life.

The reason he was determined to achieve Tao Achievement and eternal life was that Hong Yuan didn’t want to die like Master Heavenly River, Master Lin Daoyan, and senior brother Mo Jiuyou.

He didn’t want to die!!!

The shift in his thoughts took only a moment. As he neared the majestic and splendid Central Palace, Hong Yuan set aside these reflections.

He stepped onto the cloud path veiled in mist, following Mou Liang Great Saint into the palace’s interior.

The great hall was dark and desolate.

A figure wearing a purple-gold dragon robe stood tall above, majestic and sacred.

When Hong Yuan first saw this figure, he was momentarily perplexed, almost believing his Demonic Body had appeared here.

In terms of appearance alone, there was only a thirty percent resemblance, but the commanding Divine Charm in his brow was nearly identical!

East Supreme Saint slowly turned around and smiled at Hong Yuan.

He had a tall and slender physique, a chiseled face, and handsome features, his brow exuding an air of resolute determination.

His deep, piercing eyes possessed an imposing aura that discouraged casual disregard.

Bathed in the mottled, purple-gold phantom glow surrounding his form, his entire being appeared even more profound and uncanny.

"Qing, come and tell me about your experiences in the dreamland," East Supreme Saint said warmly.

Hong Yuan replied, "Yes, Emperor’s son. In the first scene of the dreamland, I became a youth named ’Ye Gufan’..."

On his way there, Hong Yuan had already prepared a script.

Apart from his Blood Tao techniques and the existence of the Reverse River, Hong Yuan related nearly everything he could disclose.

The two individuals beside him listened to Hong Yuan’s words, nodding from time to time.

「A quarter of an hour later.」

Hong Yuan stopped speaking, and Mou Liang Great Saint and East Supreme Saint snapped out of their contemplation.

"Ye Gufan? Does the Ye Clan of the Southern Border truly have such a Supreme Talent among them?" Mou Liang Great Saint wondered aloud, puzzled.

East Supreme Saint’s eyes narrowed, his tone complex, "According to the records in the Heavenly Palace’s secret archives, Azure Lotus Heaven Lord, the Flower Tao God, is indeed the eighth reincarnation of the Eternal Azure Lotus. Furthermore, the seventh reincarnation of the Eternal Azure Lotus was indeed Ye Gufan."

BOOM!

Upon hearing this, Hong Yuan was startled.

"Could it be... this Mysterious Emperor’s Dreamland... is actually the dreamland of the Eternal Azure Lotus!" Mou Liang Great Saint exclaimed, his voice trembling slightly.

What could be more precious than the dreamland of a supreme being on the path to eternal life?

"Hehe," East Supreme Saint chuckled lightly, continuing, "Since the first beings were born, they have been able to dream. Hardly anyone doesn’t dream. Over countless years, innumerable geniuses and prodigies, even Emperors and Demon Emperors, have had their own dreamlands. When these dreamlands coalesce, they can form an unprecedentedly vast Secret Realm."

"In this world, ever since the first beings evolved, they began to dream. Each dream adds a fragment of territory, a sliver of power, to the collective dreamland."

"Over vast stretches of time, through ages of vicissitude and myriad transformations, countless heroes and extraordinary figures emerged from all the clans, continuously expanding the dreamland. It grew ever larger, eventually reaching a point of qualitative change and manifesting externally."

"In the future, dreamlands even more special than the ’Eternal Azure Lotus Dreamland’ may appear."

"This era, after all, belongs to the Great Dream Emperor!!!"

...

Listening to East Supreme Saint’s explanation about Dream Tao, Hong Yuan felt waves of turbulence surging in his heart.

Indeed, who in this world lives without dreaming?

If this legendary Strongest Saint, the Great Dream Emperor, were to be born among the Human Race, I’m afraid my future peace would be hard-won.

Supreme Grandmaster of Dream Tao, Supreme Grandmaster of Dream Tao... Hong Yuan repeated to himself.

The Supreme Grandmaster of Dream Tao is unique in the world, and this very uniqueness is a prerequisite for becoming an Emperor.

It seems I’ll have to accelerate my path to sainthood in Dream Tao.

「At dusk.」

Hong Yuan, carrying the Saint level Dream Tao art "Soul Entering Dream" created by East Supreme Saint, headed towards the Ji Family.

This "Soul Entering Dream" inheritance was truly extraordinary, directly reaching the Saint level.

If Hua Menghuang were to cultivate it, achieving sainthood in Dream Tao would no longer be mere talk.

However, since this version of "Soul Entering Dream" was the initial draft created by East Supreme Saint, Hong Yuan still needed to refine it, adapting it into a version suitable for someone of Hua Menghuang’s specific constitution to cultivate.

Each Great Dream Seed cultivates it with a different focus; for instance, Hua Menghuang’s is supplemented by Sword Tao.

As Hong Yuan examined this "Soul Entering Dream" technique, more ideas regarding the "Reversed River Dream Robe" Divine Power sparked in his mind.

The concept of using Soul Foundation as an energy source was particularly worth emulating.

Hehe, back then, my only thought was to infiltrate the Heavenly Palace and obtain the Human Race’s research materials on Dream Tao.

Now, not only have I achieved this, but I’ve also become quite famous among the Human Race. If East Supreme Saint were to pass away, it’s not entirely impossible for me, Hong Yuan, to contend for the leadership of the Heavenly Palace with my Sword Body.

But East Supreme Saint... why does he bear such a striking resemblance to my Demonic Body?

At this thought, Hong Yuan, who had been feeling joyful, suddenly furrowed his brow and fell into deep contemplation.

Inexplicably, his thoughts turned to the Divine Origin Marrow from before.

According to his theory, it should have been Li Jianqiu on the outside and Xuan Guangqiao on the inside. Instead, it turned out to be Li Jianqiu on the outside and Dong Zheng Yang on the inside.

What exactly lay hidden here?
