Carefree Path of Dreams

"Imperial Court... Hehe..."

Fang Yuan shook his head and sniggered.

Although Mu Hezi did not know what that snigger meant, the disdainful tone was enough for him to change his expression.

In actual fact, Mu Hezi felt rather awkward. He knew that Master Heartless did not let down the Imperial Court, it was the Imperial Court and the Hidden Dragon Guards who had let Master Heartless down.

Nevertheless, after hearing such a reply from Fang Yuan, Mu Hezi still felt very dispirited, and even slightly angry. As the people of Da Qian, how could he be so deceiving?

As the Leader of Hidden Dragon Guards, Mu Hezi motto in life was "if the emperor wants him to die, he has to die". Even if he felt wronged, he still had to bear with it and obey the orders!

At this moment, such dissatisfaction of his was still well hidden. He thought for a while and asked, "Unless... you don’t intend to correct your master’s reputation?"

"Reputations are all made up, they are nothing!"

Fang Yuan shook his head and continued, "I will join in the war at Jade Capital, just that all of you have to pay the price to satisfy me... Da Qian is vast and there are many special and unique people, there must be something that will satisfy me."

"Deal!"

Mu Hezi’s face turned pale and he took out an emerald-green coloured piece of leaf.

"This is the Ten Thousand Mile Messenger Talisman, you can communicate through it without passing through the Dream Realm. It’s very safe!"

"I’ll keep it!"

Fang Yuan received the item. He immediately scanned the item with his spiritual will numerous time to confirm that there were no hidden tricks on it.

Even if there were, it would be no problem. Fang Yuan could just throw it at any remote wilderness and use it when he felt like it.

Anyway, the person who would feel impatient would definitely not be him.

"Since that’s the case, I shall take my leave!"

To be frank, Mu Hezi felt extremely uncomfortable standing in front of Fang Yuan and especially so inside of the sword array. He never wanted to experience such a feeling whereby his life was under the hands of another person ever again.

"Of course, please!"

Fang Yuan nodded upwards slightly and three sword-wielding children released the array. Mu Hezi immediately turned into a stream of green light and flew out.

"The Extreme Wood spiritual troop on his body has indeed been exhausted. If I wanted to kill him, it should be easier than killing Feng Buer..."

Fang Yuan watched Mu Hezi leave and remained silent as he pondered.

"Just that... there wouldn’t be much meaning in doing so."

Fang Yuan killed Feng Buer as Feng Buer was a dream master from Source Seeking Sect, which was his master’s enemy.

Previously, he did not have such powerful strength and he could only tread carefully.

Now that Fang Yuan had great accomplishments in his divine powers, although he could not kill Demon Killing Divine Pen, he had still killed a 7th Tier Illusionary Divine elder. Even if he was mocked for bullying the weak and being afraid of the strong, he was still glad that he killed Feng Buer.

Separating the weak and the strong and defeating them separately was an art of war. Only fools would fight them recklessly.

"5 months... that’s almost half a year. I made it just in time for the big war!"

After the decisive battle, the world would undergo tumultuous changes and Fang Yuan’s identity would no longer be important.

Now, the two sides were busy preparing for the big war. Secrets would be obscured and plus the fact that Fang Yuan was a 7th Tier Illusionary Divine dream master and True Divine, even sages would not be able to discover his identity.

"With these, it will be enough!"

After Fang Yuan watched Mu Hezi disappear in the horizons, he looked at his own stats board:

"Name: Fang Yuan

Essence: 100

Spirit: 100

Magic: 100

Profession: Dream Soldier Master

Cultivation: Illusionary Divine (7th Tier), True Divine, Area Being

Technique: [Pangu Eagle Body (? ? ?)], [8 Gates Sword Array (8th Sword) (1%)], [Elemental Spiritual Energy Cultivation Spell (Grade 5 (Completed))]

Skill: [Medicine (Level 3)], [Botany (Level 5)], [Fiery Golden Eyes (Level 1)]"

With cultivations in both dream techniques and martial arts, at such a stage, Fang Yuan felt that his essence, spirit and magic were all resonating at a special frequency which brought about a rather harmonious feeling.

"I wonder how many people are there in the entire Da Qian World that become powerful beings who are accomplished in both dream techniques and martial arts?"

Fang Yuan looked at his stats board and pondered.

In his 8 Gates Sword Array, only the last sword, the Sky Sword, was incomplete. Once Fang Yuan completed it, he would be able to become an 8th Tier Illusionary Divine dream master and get closer to Master Heartless’ level.

Fang Yuan’s cultivation in martial arts had already reached completion, now that he was a True Divine.

Thus, the only path left was to breakthrough to the Prominent Divine stage!!

A Prominent Divine dream master would be at the same tier as a True Divine martial artist and a True Elemental spiritual knight. However, a Prominent Divine dream master would have numerous divine techniques that were unimaginable and they could also create living things. Thus, a Prominent Divine dream master would command the authority of the entire Da Qian tightly.

A single Prominent Divine dream master usually represented a force, an entire group! Not only would his influence affect the entire Da Qian World, it would even affect the numerous planes nearby.

"In actual fact, the 7th Tier of the Illusionary Divine stage is the lowest criterion for breaking through to the Prominent Divine stage... But, this is similar to the breakthrough of a Wu Zong. Last time, if I directly broke through to True Divine at the 7th or 8th Meridian, my martial arts Divine Body would definitely not be as strong as it is now!"

Fang Yuan’s eyes glistened. If he wanted to break through, he definitely had to do it perfectly.

This was the case for his martial arts and was also the case for his dream master cultivation too.

Although the secretive 8 Gates Sword Array was powerful and was regarded as a powerful technique amongst Prominent Divine dream masters, it still only had 8 Tiers!

The profound mystery of the last tier still had to be completed by Fang Yuan himself.

"Actually, it’s already enough that I broke through to the 7th Tier of Illusionary Divine stage... As the saying goes, the higher you climb, the harder you fall... The natural source of dream masters, Demonic Heart Realm, doesn’t look very kind."

The experimentation in Planet Earth Realm had great effects on Fang Yuan.

At least, Fang Yuan knew that the Demonic Heart Realm was definitely not some sort of beautiful world. He was 80% sure that it was a realm like the Spiritual Realm which preyed on the weak and that it was coveting for something in Da Qian World.

"Strictly speaking, only martial arts and spiritual spells are native to Da Qian. Dream masters are actually foreign products and they only existed after Da Qian World was eyed by Demonic Heart Realm... Of course, the talented people of Da Qian created the cultivation of dream masters, cultivating truths from falsehoods and this point might be out of Demonic Heart Realm’s expectation. Thus, it feels rather optimistic..."

Fang Yuan looked at both his hands and thought, "After I took on the path as a dream master, there is no turning back. Thus, I can only give it my all. At least, now that I am at the 7th Tier of the Illusionary Divine stage, I still have some power to fight back. Once the Demonic Heart Realm advents, those ignorant dream masters might not even be able to fight back."

Once a person had some dream elemental force, he would be marked and imprinted. Thus, he could be harvested anytime.

Such a change was at the soul level. Even if the person were to forsake his cultivation, it would be useless.

Therefore, at such a stage, even Fang Yuan could only seek short-term benefits and thus, rushed to become a 7th Tier Illusionary Divine dream master. Thereafter, he would have to react accordingly.

Fang Yuan gazed at the horizons. He then turned into a beam of light and disappeared.

...

Moments later, space cracked. A person with a tall figure, perfect body and a face like that of a deity walked out and scanned the surroundings. It was the Head of Hidden Dragon Guards!

"He’s gone?"

The Head of Hidden Dragon Guards thought for a while and then looked at the space in front of him, "Li Qingmian, come out!"

"Hidden Dragon! How dare a magical clone of yours come here! Aren’t you afraid it would be killed by me?"

Ripples appeared in the space as though a curtain was unveiled and a person slowly emerged.

This person was middle-aged, his hair was slightly white and his facial structures were pronounced. He looked like he had been through a lot and his skin was crystal clear like jade. He was definitely a gorgeous man when he was young.

He was holding a long, sparkling and crystal-clear pen. It was as though he was an artist ready to source for materials.

"I am a magical clone and you are a magical clone too, what’s there to be afraid about even if we fight?"

The Head of Hidden Dragon Guards laughed, "Just that, I sensed that a trace of your imprint seemed to have died here... Could it be, you are here for that?"

"Cut the act, ever since Buer died and this trace of imprint dispersed, I already knew that the 8 Gates Sword Array has definitely returned... Hmph, only that 7 Constellations Sword Array can cut off and prevent me from sensing here!"

Li Qingmian humphed and the look on his face was both sad and happy at the same time. He then continued, "When Master Heartless’ faction was close to being exterminated, you did nothing about it. Do you think he has no hatred for you? The people of Heartless’ faction are all lunatics! Is the Imperial Court still shielding its descendants!"

"I don’t wish to mention about past events anymore, but I believe his descendant’s hatred against all of you are definitely greater than his hatred against the Imperial Court... Else, this person would not have killed Feng Buer but let off Mu Hezi."

The Head of Hidden Dragon Guards spoke in a very captivating way, "Thus... not only will I not arrest him, I will instead pull him over to my side."

"If the world isn’t in chaos now, this person would have shown his cloven hoof! Nevermind... I shall see how long the Imperial Court can remain happy!"

Li Qingmian sneered and disappeared.

Naturally, Li Qingmian was very clear about what the Head of Hidden Dragon Guards was thinking of.

If the Head of Hidden Dragon Guards were to chase after the successor of that 8 Gates Sword Array, not only would he have spent a lot of effort and exhaust part of his strength, if he succeeded, it would not matter much anyway. However, if he were to fail, he would be driving away such a powerful person from the Imperial Court.

Master Heartless had enemies all over the world. The Head of Hidden Dragon Guards did not have to worry about whether this person would side with the enemies or not.

Hence, the Head of Hidden Dragon Guards was unfazed and merely said those few lines.

However, Source Seeking Sect enmity and hatred against this person was as deep as the sea. It was definitely something that would not be resolved so easily.

...

At this moment, Fang Yuan was marked by two sages and in the future, there would be even more sages after him. The Fang Yuan whose identity was unknown restored his original appearance and headed towards Yingchou City.

This was how he was acting ironically.

All the dream masters would have thought that the successor of Master Heartless would be a coward and go into hiding, who would have known that he would have such an obvious identity and would be so blatantly heading towards Yingchou City?

Furthermore, Fang Yuan’s martial artist True Divine identity would be his best cover-up.

Such a genius who could breakthrough to True Divine in such a short period of time was already extremely shocking and would be like a freak.

But nobody would have ever imagined that he could even directly breakthrough to the 7th Tier of the Illusionary Divine stage!

"If I want to go back and continue being me, Fang Yuan, there are two problems..."

Fang Yuan quickly thought through as he made his way, "Firstly, there will be other dream master observers who would discover some traces inside Planet Earth Realm. Luckily, this is already solved as Planet Earth’s will had already increased its strength in repelling and resisting all foreign souls and powers. Additionally, the physical laws in that realms are getting harsher and harsher, anyone who enters that realm will definitely die."

"The second problem is regarding how I can conceal my cultivation!"
