Lin Yun never previously entertained the idea of exploring in the dream realm, because whenever he heard those indistinct and inexplicable words, he would start to suffocate.

But this time, that voice had disappeared.

And riding the giant dragon, he no longer had to worry about suffocation since dragons are born with the ability to control water. As soon as they entered the ocean, Bai Jiaojiao was so excited that she flew up and dived into the deep sea.

Lin Yun was no longer preoccupied with whether this Bai Jiaojiao was the real one who had entered the dream or just a Bai Jiaojiao he had dreamed up. In any case, to ensure Bai Jiaojiao’s safety, he had to maintain the stability of this dream realm.

As for verifying whether Bai Jiaojiao was real or a dream, Lin Yun had realized it was meaningless. The Bai Jiaojiao in the dream possibly was a creation of his own.

In any case, he decided to go along with Bai Jiaojiao’s ideas. Actually, Lin Yun was also very curious about what lay beneath the deep sea of this dream realm.

It didn’t take too long, and the sea that could have drowned Lin Yun on any other day quickly reached its bottom.

Below the deep sea, there was a stele, and on it were inscribed three characters.

"Dragon Transformation Scripture."

Lin Yun was also clear that in this dream realm, what he saw might not depend on what was in the dream, but rather on what Qing Nu wanted him to see.

"Is there a ’Dragon Transformation Scripture’ here too?"

Bai Jiaojiao, now in human form, started to explore the stele inscribed with ’Dragon Transformation Scripture’, touching it while exclaiming, "It’s actually real!"

"Where have you seen the ’Dragon Transformation Scripture’ before?"

By now, Lin Yun knew that this Bai Jiaojiao was indeed the real one.

If not for that, the Bai Jiaojiao he understood wouldn’t know about the ’Dragon Transformation Scripture’.

"Elder Bai Lin taught it to me. I didn’t expect to find it here as well. What is this place!" Bai Jiaojiao asked curiously.

"This is my dream!" Lin Yun said, his face expressing disbelief. Could it be that Bai Jiaojiao didn’t know how to leave after arriving in his dream realm?

"Your dream! Why would there be a ’Dragon Transformation Scripture’ in your dream?" Bai Jiaojiao was shocked, but after her surprise, it dawned on her.

Indeed, Lin Yun had some connection with the dragon; she had always felt that there was an irresistible aura about Lin Yun that was intoxicating to dragons.

Could it be that Lin Yun was the Azure Dragon?

Yet, Elder Bai Lin had clearly told her that she and the Azure Dragon were sisters.

Or perhaps Lin Yun was a reincarnation of the Azure Dragon?

Changing gender after reincarnation is also a possibility. After all, at a certain cultivation level, gender is insignificant, one could change it at will.

"What odd things are you thinking about?"

Seeing Bai Jiaojiao’s expression, Lin Yun knew she was up to no good and couldn’t help but speak irritably, "Since you’ve entered my dream, you should leave quickly. You can’t stay here for long."

Even though it was his own dream, Lin Yun felt no sense of control and feared he could suffocate to death at any time. Now that he knew Bai Jiaojiao was the real one, he grew anxious and hurried her to leave.

However, Bai Jiaojiao said, "I’ve already left the Dream Mirage Divine Realm. I’m now with Xiao Qing, and I don’t know what happened. I just dozed off, and then, I ended up here. Moreover, there was a voice calling me in the sea, so I came."

Not long after Lin Yun stepped into Lu Lihua’s dream and left, Bai Jiaojiao urged Black Cat to cast a spell on her.

Thinking Lin Yun would not take too much time to return, Black Cat felt the same. She was eager to leave as well.

However, when casting the spell based on Bai Jiaojiao, only one bubble appeared.

It belonged to a woman, and not Lin Yun.

There was only one, and Bai Jiaojiao still went into it. Black Cat saw something amiss; Lin Yun hadn’t dreamt of Bai Jiaojiao!

This was because, at that time, Lin Yun was experiencing a Shura Field, dealing with the drama of three women. After pacifying the women, he went to sleep, not knowing that Black Cat and Bai Jiaojiao were so impatient.

After entering Green Snake’s dream realm, Bai Jiaojiao quickly used a spell and left Green Snake’s dream. When Green Snake woke up and saw Bai Jiaojiao in front of her, she was overjoyed and clung to Bai Jiaojiao, not letting go.

After parting that day, she wandered around Mount Heavenly Dragon for a long time, seeing no unusual phenomena and finding no trace of Lin Yun and Bai Jiaojiao.

It was only after hearing from Green Snake that Bai Jiaojiao found out they had been gone for so long. It seems time in the Divine Realm of the Desolate Ruins runs differently from the outside world.

This wasn’t the first time.

When she and Lin Yun first entered the Great Mist Maze, they spent a short time inside, but over a month had passed when they came out.

The outside passed more quickly than in the secret realm.

Bai Jiaojiao didn’t think too much about it. Seeing Green Snake so worried about her, she took a rest in her arms to comfort her, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.

Consequently, she arrived at a strange place. At that moment, she didn’t even realize she was dreaming, as she couldn’t be aware of it herself.

She only felt a calling, and the seawater made her comfortable. Thus, she took Lin Yun and dived together.

"You’re... even faster than me!"

Lin Yun couldn’t help but marvel at Bai Jiaojiao’s swift actions. After he woke up from the dream, he calmed down three women. Bai Jiaojiao left after him yet managed to pacify Green Snake, slept with her, and the two still met in the same dream.

"We can leave Mount Heavenly Dragon to look for you tomorrow."

Bai Jiaojiao said excitedly.

Now it seemed there were no more worries. Although both were still on Mount Heavenly Dragon, the mountain posed no danger to the two dragons at present.

Lin Yun was relieved, too. He took Bai Jiaojiao’s hand and said, "I’ll wait for you."

"Can I come find you now, is that all right? We had an agreement after all."

With those words, Bai Jiaojiao embraced Lin Yun, rubbing her cheek affectionately against him.

The seductive undertone in her voice was very clear.

They had agreed beforehand that Bai Jiaojiao would help him with his cultivation when they met again.

However, it had taken much longer for them to reunite than Lin Yun had expected.

And now, he indeed was in need of Dragon Blood and a mother dragon’s help to enhance his cultivation level.

Still in the dream, Lin Yun was tantalized by Bai Jiaojiao’s charming and proactive behavior; he touched her cheek and smiled, "Why don’t we rehearse a bit in the dream first?"

As he said this, Lin Yun made his move, and Bai Jiaojiao naturally had no reason to shrink away. Their lips met in a fervent kiss, and it was then that the seawater began to bubble as if boiling, and Lin Yun felt that familiar sense of suffocation once again.

But Bai Jiaojiao, being a dragon, seemed to have little reaction to it.

Seeing Lin Yun suddenly suffocating, she even gave him a breath, but this was not a problem that could be solved by breathing, and finally...

Lin Yun woke from his dream.

He shot up, panting heavily several times before he started to feel a bit more comfortable.

The pain of suffocation this time was even stronger than before.

It was as if some big shot was deliberately making things difficult for him.

Lin Yun concentrated and looked at his Dantian. Xiao Qing was still slumbering away, but sensing Lin Yun’s gaze, she suddenly became alert and hid in the Spirit Liquid Sea, leaving only her tail outside to flicker about, resembling an animated character’s silly hair.

The statue of Qing Nu was still floating on the surface of the sea, her expression unchanged as always; after all, it would be quite terrifying if a wooden carving’s expression changed.

However, with the same smile, Lin Yun felt that she seemed a bit angry.

Ah, could it be that she is jealous after seeing me getting close with Bai Jiaojiao?

Could it really be that Sister Qing Nu gets jealous?

Lin Yun couldn’t help thinking this way, and the usually tranquil Spirit Liquid Sea within him began to ripple slightly.

"Eh, I’m just kidding, I’m outta here."

Lin Yun’s Divine Sense hurriedly withdrew from his Dantian, unwilling to provoke this heavyweight further. At this moment, he remembered a certain Black Cat.

The Soul-Entwining Dreamy Wander technique of the Black Cat indeed worked on Lin Yun, but with Qing Nu there, it seemed unlikely that a mere cat spirit could enter his dreams.

Lin Yun suddenly considered that the reason he had been dreaming of Qing Nu might have been because she used a similar spell on him, yet her spell work was of a higher order. He had no way to resist or even notice it.

If that was the case, wouldn’t the cat be unable to come out?

Lin Yun felt a sense of pity in his heart.

I’m no devil; I simply wanted to pet a cat. The Black Cat’s fur is so smooth, it feels nice to stroke.

In the Dream Mirage Divine Realm, the Black Cat tirelessly used herself as a medium to perform the Dream Entering Technique, yet she received no response.

"What’s the matter, doesn’t he dream? I haven’t left yet!"

This was just like a little cat who managed to send everyone off, but missed the bus herself. Life is hard, the kitty sighed.

But not being able to walk out of Lin Yun’s dream realm might very well have saved her from misfortune.

As the Black Cat was sighing, she suddenly saw several points of light appearing in the brilliant blue sky above. The lights grew larger and descended; the Black Cat saw clearly that they were seven humans dressed in white armor.

They had a threatening air about them, clearly harboring bad intentions.

With their appearance, another seven Black Cats emerged.

Life forms in the Dream Mirage Divine Realm have long lifespans because their energy consumption is minimal, like when the Dream Return Immortal Array was activated previously, they only dispatched one Black Cat to deal with it while the other seven continued their deep slumber.

Sleep more when you can, who knows when you might die!

Now it seemed there was a foreign invasion, and all the Servants of the Gods were forced to appear.

"Who are you?"

The fattest Black Cat spoke, its head adorned with a tuft of white fur, making it the most distinctive of them all.

It was also the leader of the Eight Great Servants of Gods.

The ones who descended from the sky wore masks, and their speech, though resonating like metallic vibrations, was powerful but unpleasant to listen to.

"I am the Vanguard Leader of the Tai Bai Divine Kingdom, by the order of our Emperor, calling upon the inhabitants of this realm to join the counter-assault on the Ancestral Realm. Will you comply?"

"Tai Bai Divine Kingdom!"

The cats all looked shocked.

The citizens of Divine Realms and Divine Countries collectively are called Divine Realm Inhabitants, but only when a Divine Realm reaches a certain scale can it be termed a Divine Country, and only top-tier gods can possess a Divine Country.

The Tai Bai Divine Kingdom is, however, one of the most powerful among the few Divine Countries. The Servants of the Gods of the Dream Mirage Divine Realm had left the Divine Realm before and wandered in the Desolate Ruins, having witnessed the majesty of the Tai Bai Divine Kingdom.

Even within the Desolate Ruins, the Tai Bai Divine Kingdom still shone with resplendent light.

Compared to the Tai Bai Divine Kingdom, the Dream Mirage Divine Realm, though mid-tier among many Divine Realms, was like the faint glow of a grain of rice trying to compete with the splendid moonlight, incomparable.

Why had such a powerful Divine Kingdom come looking for them?

Furthermore, a counter-assault on the Ancestral Realm? Aren’t they afraid of Ancestor Bai?

Wait, hold on, ’our Emperor’? The only one who could be referred to as an Emperor by the people of Tai Bai Divine Kingdom must be that Divine Spirit from the past, right?
