Aside from a few forbidden realms, the present-day Li Fei knew the Daluo Sect like the back of his hand.
This was also what made the Nightmare Sect so terrifying!
But when it ca to matters involving critical secrets, such as the Sect’s high-level inheritances, disciples were bound by Oath Techniques.
These Oath Techniques would form nurous barriers in the subconscious, making it difficult for intruders to probe.
Thus, the Nightmare Sect had great difficulty when it stealthily attempted to steal important secrets.
Nevertheless, such abilities were greatly feared!
Therefore, the "Gate of Dream Realm" magic was only imparted to true Core Disciples, and regarding the "Dream Realm," over the years, the Nightmare Sect had kept it well concealed, not letting the outside world know.
Not until the appearance of the traitor Zhao Renjie.
The man stole the Sect treasure Dream Command, also risking the exposure of secrets the Nightmare Sect had long safeguarded.
Even the strongest Oath Techniques have ti limits, and after Zhao Renjie had been a fugitive for many years, the Oath Techniques imposed on him had long "expired," allowing him to pass on the Nightmare Sect’s important inheritances to Zhao Yi.
Only thus could Li Fei master the most crucial secret of the Nightmare Sect and roam within the "Dream Realm."
Li Fei wasn’t particularly interested in the various pavilions, cave dwellings, and such of the Daluo Sect.
Nor did he deliberately attempt to steal the inheritances of the Daluo Sect.
He simply used his wanderings in the "Dream Realm" to continuously probe others’ subconscious minds as a way to refine his own "Aquatic Nature," enhancing his control over Dream Command.
To him, it was a ans of cultivation.
Li Fei began to "patrol" the Daluo Sect, preparing to enter the subconscious of soone relatively weaker.
Suddenly, he had a feeling and turned his head to look at a shadow in the distance.
Judging from the size of the shadow, the person was at most a Magician in the Divine Transformation Stage.
But for so reason, Li Fei sensed a trace of danger from the shadow.
The protective shield ford by Dream Command not only protected his safety in the "Dream Realm," improved his "Aquatic Nature," but also made his perception more acute to detect various malicious intents and dangers.
Just as Li Fei set his gaze on the shadow, it violently surged toward him from afar, rapidly expanding in size!
The figure transford from an ordinary small fish to a giant shark in an instant!
Li Fei was startled and imdiately realized that he had encountered soone from the Nightmare Sect.
Only a Magician from the Nightmare Sect could disguise their subconscious like this, to roam in such a manner in the "Dream Realm."
"How did the Nightmare Sect find out I was in the Daluo Sect? Have I been exposed?"
Li Fei’s first instinct was that his identity had been compromised.
But he soon realized—if his identity had been exposed, the Nightmare Sect would not stir up the grass to startle the snake but would lay traps in secret instead.
Therefore, the most likely scenario was that the Nightmare Sect wasn’t certain who was using Dream Command but had narrowed down the general area, waiting in ambush.
Dream Command had the effect of concealing fate, and its shield in the "Dream Realm" also helped Li Fei hide his identity and fate.
Thus, as long as he wasn’t captured by soone from the Nightmare Sect, Li Fei’s identity would not be disclosed.
This was also why that shadow had abruptly rushed toward him.
The opponent wanted to catch Li Fei in the "Dream Realm" to extract his information!
The shadow that had suddenly lunged out was indeed Shen Zhen.
She had discovered Li Fei first, and that protective shield unique to Dream Command around his consciousness stood out like a candle fla in the dark, too conspicuous in her eyes!
Just as she planned to silently close in on Li Fei, looking for an opportunity to capture his consciousness, Li Fei suddenly beca aware of her.
Shen Zhen knew that Dream Command could enhance perceptual abilities in the "Dream Realm," but as a True Master of the Nightmare Sect, she knew how to hide herself in the "Dream Realm."
She just hadn’t expected Li Fei’s perception to be so sharp.
Realizing she might have been exposed, Shen Zhen didn’t hesitate and decisively launched an attack!
As there was a chance Li Fei might not enter the "Dream Realm" again, this could be her only opportunity.
Watching the vast shadow rushing toward him, Li Fei decisively turned and "swam" away into the distance.
He did not return to his "origin" and then exit the "Dream Realm."
Even if he left the "Dream Realm" with his ego consciousness, his subconscious would still project within the "Dream Realm," and the opponent would instantly know who it was.
Li Fei swam swiftly, all the while contemplating counterasures:
"I can’t exit the ’Dream Realm’ under their watch," he thought, "or I’ll be exposed imdiately."
"I must shake them off first, then leave the ’Dream Realm’. Without the protective veil of the Dream Command, my subconscious projection will be just like everyone else’s—nothing special."
"Once that happens, in order to identify , they would have to search the entire Daluo Sect. But with many powerful figures in the Sect whose subconsciousness cannot be secretly probed, it will be no easy task."
Having thought this through, Li Fei began to try and evade his pursuers.
However, he quickly realized his ’swimming ability’ was far inferior to his chaser’s.
Even with the enhancent of the Dream Command, Li Fei’s speed traversing the ’Dream Realm’ was slower than Shen Zhen’s.
This was a difference brought by their respective realms, as well as their familiarity with the ’Dream Realm’.
Shen Zhen had already been roaming the ’Dream Realm’ for decades and thus was an excellent ’swimr’.
As the gap between them narrowed and it wouldn’t be long before Li Fei was caught, he decisively changed his strategy.
Glancing around, he located a subconscious projection on Daluo Peak and rushed towards it.
From afar, this projection was no larger than a house, but upon closer approach, the surroundings gradually diminished in size, and the projection itself seed to grow into a mountain!
This was the subconscious projection of a Martial Arts Master!
Upon nearing this projection, Li Fei did not hesitate; he dived right in.
He realized that he could not evade his pursuers by rely roaming ’normally’ in the ’Dream Realm’, so he chose the nearest strong subconsciousness to enter.
A strong person’s subconscious world is fraught with dangers. Even for soone like Shen Zhen, a True Master from the Nightmare Sect, it could be possible to get trapped forever in the subconscious of a Martial Arts Master!
This was precisely the type of danger Li Fei was counting on. He needed to escape peril before Shen Zhen to have a chance to evade pursuit.
Shen Zhen watched as Li Fei dived into a ’mountain’.
She also recognized it as the subconscious projection of a Martial Arts Master from the Daluo Sect and therefore understood Li Fei’s tactic imdiately.
She hesitated for a mont outside this ’mountain’.
She could choose not to follow, just wait outside for Li Fei to erge.
But Li Fei could simply stay stealthily on the ’surface’ of the other person’s subconscious, without exploring anything in depth, thus avoiding any danger.
In that case, it would be a war of attrition.
The ego continuously consus Void Thought while roaming the ’Dream Realm’; no one can stay there indefinitely with their ego.
From the chase just now, Shen Zhen was sure Li Fei’s ’swimming ability’ was weaker than hers.
Normally, Li Fei wouldn’t be able to stay in the ’Dream Realm’ as long as Shen Zhen could.
But Li Fei had the Dream Command.
This exceptional vessel was specially crafted by the founding ancestor of the Nightmare Sect for navigating ’dreamscapes’!
With the Dream Command in hand, even if Li Fei’s ’swimming ability’ was weaker than Shen Zhen’s, he might be able to remain in the ’Dream Realm’ even longer.
So, Shen Zhen dared not gamble.
After a brief hesitation, she too entered the ’mountain’ before her!
...
Li Fei was not new to entering others’ subconscious worlds, but this was his first ti infiltrating the subconscious of a Martial Arts Master.
Each person’s subconscious world is different—so have an ocean, so a desert, so a city.
And there are those whose subconscious is a prison.
Li Fei found himself before a colossal prison—a fortress of steel, surrounded by tall walls enclosing it on all sides.
The entire world was shrouded in darkness, save for a blood moon hanging high, casting its cold light.
Li Fei stood outside on the parade ground, with the prison gate directly ahead.
Inside was pitch black, visibility nil.
Li Fei looked up at the sky, a massive shadow descended from above!
He hesitated no longer and walked towards the gate before him.
Li Fei entered the prison.

Sorry, today will bring another delay; three more Chapters tomorrow.
