Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar-Chapter 478 - 388: The World, All in One Heart_3

If Hong Yuan wanted to exchange for the Illusory Dream Cold Frost, he would have to accumulate an unknown number of merit points and perform countless deeds for the Human Race. Most importantly, the Illusory Dream Cold Frost was very likely to be exchanged by other Saints.

Now, he only needed some sweet words, posturing, and a seemingly reasonable justification to have the Butterfly Sword Martial Saint running around doing his bidding for him, Hong Yuan. This feeling, oh, it couldn’t be more exhilarating!

"Every gift of fate comes with a price secretly marked."

"But I, Bo Qing, am truly capable of bearing it—"

Hong Yuan revealed a smile.

With a snap, he put away the paper fan and the Illusory Dream Cold Frost, took out the Communicating Sky Bug, and rushed off to the Treasured Yellow Heaven.

Unbeknownst to anyone, the Illusory Dream Cold Frost in his Heavenly River Blessed Land now had a small corner missing. Meanwhile, within the Demonic Body’s Destiny Demon Realm, a small corner of Illusory Dream Cold Frost had appeared.

...

Often, when it came to a lack of resources, all Hong Yuan needed was a catalyst.

Having experienced the complete "Han Jiuming Dream Realm," Hong Yuan had effectively become a sort of reborn Great Moon Saint. As long as Hong Yuan was willing to acknowledge it, his Demonic Body could impersonate the Great Moon Saint Han Jiuming with very little pressure.

But Hong Yuan never would, for he was himself.

He could be Xuan Guangqiao, he could be Bo Qing, he could be Han Jiuming, but his self-perception had to be Hong Yuan!

This was precisely the dilemma for the Nine-tailed Crocodile Dragon, the Sky-connecting Tower spirit, and the Great Moon Virtual Mirror spirit.

Your every move is imbued with the Divine Charm of Han Jiuming, yet you regard Han Jiuming’s Tao methods and Divine Powers as ordinary. Such actions deeply wounded the hearts of the Nine-tailed Crocodile Dragon and the others.

"Transformation Tao Divine Power—Candle Dragon Transformation!"

Above the Purple Golden Palace in the Destiny Demon Realm, the Demonic Body Hong Yuan activated the Divine Power with anticipation.

BOOM! RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

Behind him, a blue Immortal Cave emerged, fine mist diffusing from it, and Purple Gold Divine Light exploded.

Gradually, out from the blue Immortal Cave drifted a closed-eyed Purple Gold True Dragon Divine Appearance—the Candle Dragon!

The Candle Dragon—also known as Candle Yin, Candle Nine Yin, the long dragon, or fire essence—was a mythical Divine Beast from ancient mythology that controlled time. It opened its eyes for day and closed them for night.

Under Hong Yuan’s manipulation, the Candle Dragon Divine Appearance plunged headfirst into that small piece of Illusory Dream Cold Frost, burning itself.

Gradually, the Illusory Dream Cold Frost began to expand, while the number of Immortal Nuance Stones in the Destiny Demon Realm rapidly decreased.

"A thousand pieces..."

"Two thousand pieces..."

When nearly ten thousand Immortal Nuance Stones had been consumed, the size of this new Illusory Dream Cold Frost was virtually indistinguishable from the original.

Looking at this freshly minted Illusory Dream Cold Frost, Hong Yuan’s face immediately broke into a smile. His body felt incredibly refreshed, and he involuntarily gave a little shake.

He hummed, "Past legends tell of a Han master of the Time Tao who had a little green bottle capable of duplicating anything. Now I, Hong Yuan, am not far behind. It’s just that the consumption of Immortal Nuance Stones is a bit severe. How great it would be if Holy Artifacts were not unique!"

Catching a glimpse of the declining level of the Immortal Nuance Stone reserves, Hong Yuan’s brow furrowed slightly then quickly smoothed out.

Immortal Nuance Stones, whatever. As long as there are fools willing to pay a high price to purchase Han Jiuming’s Tao methods and Divine Powers!

After taking stock of the materials in his treasury, Hong Yuan let out a soft sigh, "Still missing a few Dream Tao materials."

But soon, Hong Yuan directed his gaze toward the Destiny Demon Realm world below, his eyes gradually lighting up.

One year outside, three hundred years in the Destiny Demon Realm.

The Dream Tao Fruits produced by the Demon Instrument should be ripe for the picking.

"Tsk tsk, I’ve truly become a ’farmer.’ Whatever I lack, I’m prepared to harvest..."
