Chapter 58: Catch with 58 grips
To be precise, Xu Zii’s purpose for coming to Ten Mile Town was for this Nightmare Beast.
Dreams are a branch of the River of Ti, and after reaching the Esteem Vein Realm in his past life, Xu Zii should have set out on his own path of the Martial Path.
But at that ti, he was very confused about his Martial Path, hesitating and unable to take a further step on his own Martial Path.
It was not until he arrived at Ten Mile Town by accident that the Nightmare Beast was not discovered so quickly in his past life, having had a long growth period, with its dream powers covering hundreds of miles.
It was under the life-and-death crisis of the Nightmare Beast that Xu Zii unintentionally understood the mysteries of the River of Ti.
Past, present, future!
...
He carved out a Martial Path of his own and successfully created the Cultivation Technique “Sole Great Freedom Jue” that he now practices.
The dreamscape of the Nightmare Beast greatly assisted Xu Zii’s cultivation, and whether he could break through to the Divine Vein Realm and evolve his Martial Path to a higher realm, this Nightmare Beast played a crucial role.
The dreamscape is one of the branches of the River of Ti, just like when you are doing sothing in reality and suddenly realize that the scene you are in feels very familiar, as if you have experienced it a long ti ago.
If you think about it carefully, you will find that long before, you had seen a fragnt or image of your future in a dream.
It’s just that you were completely unaware of it at the ti.
In his past life, Xu Zii captured this Nightmare Beast, which contributed indispensably to the evolution of his Martial Path.
Yet the Nightmare Beast later died, but unexpectedly, in this new life, it still could not escape his Demon Palm.
The food of the Nightmare Beast is dreams, just like Xiao Guizi asked before, why it traps everyone in dreams but does not kill them all in one go.
Because the Nightmare Beast is still in its youth and only needs to devour one person’s dream a day for sustenance.
The rest of the people are raised by it, ensuring that its food supply is not interrupted.
……
Nightmare Beasts are extrely rare, and as far as Xu Zii knows, there is only one place in the entire Yuan Central Continent that has a Nightmare Beast, and that is the Old Land.
The Old Land is one of the Ten Great Forbidden Lands and has long been occupied by an organization called Divine Gate.
In each era, apart from the Great Emperors of successive generations, there are only a few people who can enter the Old Land.
……
“It seems you know quite a bit,” Hu Yingying said with a look of surprise as she watched Xu Zii.
Then she waved her right hand, and a pale white Spiritual Energy filled the air around her, as the Nightmare Beast roared towards the sky.
Its smooth body soared towards Xu Zii.
Seeing this, Xiao Guizi quickly grabbed his iron stick and executed the “Mad Demon Stick Technique,” with layers of stick shadows stacking up like mountains, leaving a “whoosh whoosh” sound in the air.
Dark black Spiritual Energy surged on the iron stick, which forcefully smashed down on the body of the Nightmare Beast.
But what was strange was that the Nightmare Beast did not dodge or evade, and the iron stick actually went straight through its body, hitting nothing.
The Nightmare Beast’s mouth opened slightly and emitted “plop plop plop” bubble-like sonic waves. Xiao Guizi instantly started bleeding from all orifices, feeling as if a huge stone was hurtling towards him.
He was sent flying, his body heavily crashing into the door of the house.
Imdiately afterward, Xiao Guizi leapt up into the air, wiped the blood from his face, and looked at the Nightmare Beast with a grave expression.
“You all step back, ordinary attacks are useless against it,” Xu Zii waved his hand and said.
Nightmare Beasts actually don’t exist in the real world; they reside in Dinsional Space, which allows them to devour others’ dreams at will.
Spiritual Energy surged within Xu Zii as three Vein Gates simultaneously opened – this was the first ti he was using the power that truly belonged to him.
The power of “Sole Great Freedom Jue” stemd from the River of Ti, strands of Space-ti Force perated the palm of his hand.
Watching the Nightmare Beast charging toward him, Xu Zii concentrated the Space-ti Force in his hand into a large net, enveloping the entire Nightmare Beast within it.
The Nightmare Beast let out a roar, its small mouth blowing out small bubbles of sound waves intermittently.
Xu Zii smiled faintly, as the Space-ti net in his hand began to condense, the Nightmare Beast shrieked, its body also shrinking bit by bit.
Eventually reduced to the size of a fist, Xu Zii grabbed the Nightmare Beast and directly placed it into his mouth.
Since advancing to the True Vein Realm, he had carved out a space within his body, sowhat akin to a martial artist’s dantian.
Within this space, countless points of light shone, like the stars in the night sky, dazzling and captivating.
Once Xu Zii opens another Vein Gate and advances to the Empty Vein Realm, he will be able to condense True Fate.
And these speckles of stars were the Taoist Charm for Condensing True Fate.
At this mont, the Nightmare Beast had been devoured into this space, frantically struggling and colliding, but to no avail.
Because the Dinsional Space it occupied was not in the sa dinsion as the space inside Xu Zii’s body.
Simply put, the space it was in had been confined by the space within Xu Zii’s body, drifting endlessly within this space, unable to escape.
“What have you done?” Hu Yingying’s complexion changed drastically. She tried to summon the Nightmare Beast, but found that the connection between them had been severed.
“Shall we discuss another matter?” Xu Zii asked with a smile.
“What matter?” Hu Yingying took a few steps back, asking with a suspicious and startled tone.
“You help bring out another Nightmare Beast, and I’ll spare your life,” Xu Zii said.
“In your dreams,” Hu Yingying snorted coldly and then jumped straight out of the window beside her.
Xu Zii slowly drew the Tyrant Shadow from behind his back, and a slash of his blade seed to turn space itself into a sliver of sky.
The dark blade light, carrying the Qi of Annihilation, struck Hu Yingying’s back directly.
Similarly, a black aura emanated from Hu Yingying’s body, followed by the appearance of a sinister black air-condensed face in mid-air.
That face stared at Xu Zii intently for a mont, then transford into a stream of polar light, fleeing far away.
Xiao Guizi, holding an iron stick, was about to pursue but was stopped by Xu Zii.
“Don’t go, I’m waiting for her to bring another Nightmare Beast to seek revenge on next ti,” Xu Zii said with a smile.
He gazed in the direction where the black mist vanished, hearing that the people of Divine Gate were all rolling in wealth.
They occupied the Old Land, one of the Forbidden Lands, which, despite its dangers, was also full of opportunities.
As the black fog departed, Hu Yingying’s body also fell to the side, Ministry Councillor Hu imdiately rushed over and picked up his daughter.
“It’s too late, she’s already dead,” Xu Zii said, shaking his head as he looked into Ministry Councillor Hu’s pleading eyes.
Then he took the harmonica from Hu Yingying’s body, because the Nightmare Beast was in its juvenile phase, the dream it constructed had many flaws.
Therefore, it necessitated the playing of this harmonica to perform the Requiem, numbing the senses of the people within that dream.
