This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable Chapter 1467 - 26: Entering the Dream

Lu Qingshan gazed into the distance.

A sea of black!

A horrifying sight!

Endless hordes of the undead scrambling out from the lake to the surface.

Although most of these undead dissipated due to lack of strength, a small fraction could form ice armor and ice swords, becoming Otherworldly Ghosts.

Yet even such a small fraction of such a vast number is a terrifying figure beyond reckoning.

One by one, Otherworldly Ghosts rose amidst the whirlwind of ice shards.

The undead had awakened.

This is a calamity that would instill fear in anyone's heart.

Beyond the darkness lay an infinite expanse of pallor, death, and terror.

More than seventy Dragon Phoenix Army soldiers, retreating several miles back, also witnessed this scene.

The army of Otherworldly Ghosts had not even begun to move; their re awakening had already turned the world topsy-turvy.

It seed as though heaven and earth were filled and overshadowed by these entities.

Their hearts felt like they would explode, their eyes reflecting the deepest fears.

Their first thought was not for their own lives, but rather...

Would the walls of Iron City, standing for thirty-two years, truly withstand this calamity of the Otherworldly Ghosts?

....

The "Wights' King," which had roused countless Otherworldly Ghosts, looked down upon the terrifying scene he had created, his gaze gradually shifting from the rage of earlier injuries to an extre coldness.

"Now..." he looked toward Lu Qingshan and mockingly asked, "What are you going to do?"

"In this situation, do you have anything up your sleeve?"

"The one who steals the Dao source..." the Wights' King articulated word by word, "Lu Qingshan!"

Lu Qingshan looked around.

The endless army of Otherworldly Ghosts had completely surrounded him.

"There really is no way out, given the situation, even immortals couldn't save ," he shook his head, sincerely saying, "However, I am curious, since you call the one who steals the Dao source..."

"What exactly is this Dao source?" Lu Qingshan raised his eyelids to et the Wights' King's icy stare.

The Dao source fuels Taoist spells.

Ordinarily, the Dao source might be considered a mysterious force supporting the Taoist system.

However, evidently, from the Wights' King's words, the Dao source seed less like energy and more a specific object.

"Dao source...." the Wights' King showed an inscrutable expression, slowly saying, "It is the most precious thing in this world, and since you do not know now, there is no need for you to know."

He was about to command the Otherworldly Ghosts to overwhelm Lu Qingshan.

"Wait," Lu Qingshan opened his mouth again, interrupting the Wights' King's "chanting," "You also said earlier that I am a written historical figure....."

"What does that an? In which history am I written down?"

"I wish to die with clarity." Lu Qingshan explained.

"Die with clarity?" The Wights' King softly echoed, then a gleam flashed in his eyes, "Very well, I'll satisfy you."

"After all, letting you die in utter confusion lacks any sense of accomplishnt for ."

The Wights' King waved his hand, halting the restless Ghost army.

He looked down with a contemptuous attitude at Lu Qingshan, slowly saying, "Lu Qingshan, you are a legendary figure with five pages of records in the Dao Source history, surpassing any Monarch in history.

You are the General of the State of Qin, and also the Great General of the Dao Source Realm, holding the sa status and honor as the Great General of any country in the Dao Source Realm, undisputedly the foremost figure in the Dao Source Realm."

"The reason for attaining such high status and honor is quite simple."

"In the thirty-second year of the second resurgence of the Otherworldly Ghosts, which is this year, you led the Dragon Phoenix Army deep into the frozen plains alone, discovered the lake beneath your feet, and unveiled the source of the Otherworldly Ghosts and the truth."

"Afterward, you returned to Iron City, revealing all this to everyone in Iron City."

"In the thirty-third year, after a year's preparation, the Monarchs of nine nations jointly appointed you as the Great General of Iron City, with the task of leading Iron City's troops back into the frozen plains to battle the Otherworldly Ghosts gathered before the Netherworld Lake.... Ah, Netherworld Lake is the na later given to this lake by your Human Race, or rather, it was you, Lu Qingshan, who nad it that.

In this battle, you showed remarkable bravery, slaying nearly a thousand Otherworldly Ghosts and becoming the most valorous among the troops.

After eradicating the obstructing Otherworldly Ghosts, the Iron City army returned to the Netherworld Lake."

"The ice layer of the Netherworld Lake was trendously hard, and the lakebed was filled with the dead; rash action would only senselessly claim lives.

When everyone was at a loss, you used the long-lost Void Return technique to destroy the Netherworld Lake."

"The Netherworld Lake was vast, and even with the Mountains and Seas Taoist Spell, destroying it entirely would take a considerable amount of ti... Three days later, the Netherworld Lake finally disappeared from the Dao Source Realm."

"The Otherworldly Ghost threat plaguing the Human Race for thirty-three years was finally resolved, and the Northern Border Alliance could finally beco a thing of the past.

Various national armies withdrew from Iron City and returned to their respective countries.

But as the Great General of Iron City, you still held imnse prestige and influence among Iron City's troops, causing all nations to be wary of you.

"However, in the year following the disappearance of the Otherworldly Ghosts threat, you resigned from your position as the Great General of the State of Qin, beginning your journey across the Dao Source Realm."

"Then, the nations finally felt at ease. Later, to express gratitude for your incredible contributions against the Otherworldly Ghosts, you were posthumously honored as the Great General of the Dao Source Realm."

"As ti passed and you faded from sight, discussions about you in the world beca fewer and fewer.

Until fifteen years later, after being away from the State of Qin for fifteen years, you reappeared in Qin City. Under the gaze of many, you broke through the void and departed."

"Who in this world can live forever?"

"No matter how peerless you are, reigning supre, in the end, you too beco a beautiful skeleton; no matter how extraordinary a prodigy, possessing vast territories, in the end, you will also turn to dust."

"No one knows where you will go after breaking through the void, but in the eyes of the people, it must certainly be a place of immortality and undying."

"From then on, you truly beca a myth and the first person in Dao Source history to break through the void."

...

"That was truly legendary," Lu Qingshan said softly.

"How is it, isn't it sothing to be proud of?" the King of Otherworldly Ghosts laughed and said, "However, all of this will change today. History will change today."

"Even if you beco so legendary in the future, it's just the future. Now, you are about to fall here.

And once you are gone, the world's progress will return to its original track, and the Dao Source Realm will inevitably fall under the iron hooves of our army of the dead."

"You co from the future, traversing through ti," Lu Qingshan said suddenly, ignoring the sarcasm of the King of Otherworldly Ghosts. "Otherwise, how could you know things that haven't happened."

"But how did you manage it... crossing through ti, what kind of great power does that require?

Although you are strong, you are still far from possessing such power," Lu Qingshan inquired.

"I told you how I ca before, but you didn't believe it," the King of Otherworldly Ghosts said, laughing sinisterly.

He told before?

Lu Qingshan frowned, straining to think, searching his mories.

Soon, he grasped the key.

"Representing the Heavenly Dao to take my life...." Lu Qingshan's pupils shrank, arriving at an absurd answer, "Is it the power of the Heavenly Dao that aids you in traversing ti?"

The power to traverse ti is beyond human. If anyone can possess such power, perhaps it truly is only the towering Heavenly Dao.

But why would the Heavenly Dao want to take his life?

"Clever," the King of Otherworldly Ghosts said proudly, "Now, you can die with clarity."

He waved his hand downwards.

The terrifying army of Otherworldly Ghosts finally moved.

The heavens and earth echoed with a thunderous sound.

"Thank you," as death approached, Lu Qingshan, still unfazed, spoke seriously to the King of Otherworldly Ghosts: "The information you've provided is very important."

"Moreover, I have not stolen the Dao Source because the Dao Source was mine to begin with," Lu Qingshan continued, "Additionally, it seems you only know the value of the Dao Source but not its purpose."

The King of Otherworldly Ghosts felt a tinge of unease in his heart.

He made a swift decision, imdiately drawing out the giant sword embedded in the ice layer to strike at Lu Qingshan.

But Lu Qingshan's actions were faster.

He raised the Dragon Sparrow, the sharp blade passing swiftly across his throat.

Blood imdiately gushed forth like a spring.

The King of Otherworldly Ghosts stared, dumbfounded.

What's happening?

Has he killed himself out of disgrace?

"Yitian, your young master trusts you so much that he doesn't care about his life," Lu Qingshan thought in the final mont before losing consciousness.

Then, his vision went black, and he lost all awareness.

Imdiately, countless stars appeared on the Dragon Sparrow.

These stars ford a galaxy, so brilliant and unbelievable, enveloping the "dead" Lu Qingshan, pulling him sowhere.

Falling, falling, falling again.

Lu Qingshan was like falling into the abyss, continuously plunging downwards.

In the imasurable darkness of ti and space, he floated as if sinking into the deep sea, endlessly drifting.

Then, Lu Qingshan suddenly awoke from the darkness.

Accompanied by his awakening, scenes from the past two years after entering the Dao Source Realm flashed constantly before his eyes.

As if it was all just a dream.

Iron horses, frozen rivers.....

Enter the dream!
