“Please don’t reveal this matter.” Jiang Li negotiated with Dongxu True Person, who was still immersed in the dream world ruled by the First Emperor. Whatever Jiang Li said, Dongxu True Person agreed to, with no resistance.

Jiang Li felt that Dongxu True Person needed some time to recover, so he gave his should a pat and left the Secret Realm.

[Claim mission rewards?]

The ultimate reward for Dongxu Secret Realm was to hear Dongxu True Person talk about his dream, which was a task that Jiang Li had already completed.

“Claim.”

A cultivation technique called “A Thousand Gold in a Cast” appeared in Jiang Li’s hand. Jiang Li browsed through it and found it to be an interesting technique.

“I regret spending my whole cultivation life relying on elixirs, without the slightest bit of effort, which resulted in unstable foundations, always falling behind in fights with those at the same level. Fortunately, I possess the business acumen that others cannot match. After years of operation, my business has grown large with countless spirit stones rolling in,” it read.

“After a hundred years of meditation, I’ve finally comprehended the way to immortality through wealth. Hence, I’ve written this book as a memento.”

“This technique is called ‘A Thousand Gold in a Cast,’ which can convert spirit stones into power. The more spirit stones, the stronger the power.”

When he flipped to the last page, it read:

“In a fight against a formidable opponent, I exhausted all my resources. My business collapsed, and I’m now selling this cultivation technique at a low price.”

“… This technique should be called ‘Bankruptcy.’”

Jiang Li felt that this was another useless technique. Couldn’t the system offer something useful instead of rewarding these sorta things that Bai Hongtu wouldn’t even cultivate!

“I’ve found an interesting technique. Would you like to practice it?” Jiang Li handed the handbook to Bai Hongtu.

Bai Hongtu flicked through it and commented disdainfully: “No.”

Jiang Li shrugged. See, even Bai Hongtu wouldn’t practice it.

Bai Hongtu pondered for a moment, and with a stroke of his brush, revised the technique: “I’ve made some changes to the technique,”

“The efficiency of the transformation of spirit stones into power is too low. After my modifications, it will be increased by 80%.”

Jiang Li glanced at it opaquely, it was as Bai Hongtu described it, maximizing the utilization of spirit stones: “Normally, I would call this writing a new technique,

“You’re not actually thinking of practicing this, are you?” Bai Hongtu cautiously inquired.

Jiang Li was confused, “Why would I want to practice this? Using all of Jiuzhou’s spirit stones wouldn’t be as powerful as a couple of my usual attacks.”

Bai Hongtu let go of his breath, he was worried that if Jiang Li practiced this technique, it would cause a scarcity of spirit stones in Jiuzhou, plunging the economy into a crisis.

The system rewarded Jiang Li with a Heavenly Infant Fruit again.

The Heavenly Infant Fruit is good for perfecting the Nascent Soul. If a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator consumes one, it would help to perfect their Nascent Soul.

There were loads of these planted behind the Imperial Palace.

[Enable Borrow-Original-Point function]

“How much do you need?” Jiang Li asked his system, looking at the string of question mark Original Points he had, generously asking it if it needed to borrow any.

The system did not answer Jiang Li’s question, instead giving usage instructions for the new function.

Jiang Li read the instructions and found the system can loan Original Points, without cap. It was to be repaid in a year at a 40% interest rate, pure usury.

Jiang Li didn’t need this function.

“Where are you going?” Bai Hongtu asked.

“To the Mysterious Secret Realm, to study the Dream Path,” answered Jiang Li. When it comes to who in Jiuzhou is most familiar with the Dream Path, that would be the main resident of the Mysterious Secret Realm, the Great Dreamer, Dream Pure.

“Your Majesty, you cannot abandon concubine! Have you forgotten the vows of eternal love we made?” A woman dressed in exquisite clothes cried miserably. Judging from her attire, she should be the Empress.

“Hmph, besides being attractive, you have nothing to offer, and yet you dare to bewitch my heart! You cannot be tolerated!” The Emperor waved his sleeve, pushed the Empress away, turned and embraced another woman.

“My beloved concubine is much more useful than you, providing me with helpful advice for the Court, aiding me in consolidating my rule, and making the country stronger!”

The Empress looked at the beloved concubine in disbelief: “So all the questions you asked me were happening in the Court?!”

The beloved concubine looked at the Empress disdainfully: “Dear sister, you must not make wild guesses. All the management of State affairs I sorted out was personally figured out by me after pulling all-nighters, just to share the Emperor’s worries.”

The Emperor looked dearly at his beloved concubine: “My beloved, you work hard.”

Jiang Li walked into the Mysterious Secret Realm and witnessed this scene, thinking he had gone to the wrong place.

It was only after a closer look that he realized the Empress was actually Dream Pure.

“Experiencing mortal life, I never expected to encounter such an incompetent ruler as you!” The Empress said coldly, glancing contemptuously at the two.

“Guards, the Empress has gone mad, throw her into the Cold Palace!” The Emperor shouted for his guards.

“Throw me into the Cold Palace?” The Empress let out an aloof smile.

“You can certainly try!”

The Empress’s aura began to escalate, to the Nascent Soul Stage… to the Divinity Transformation Stage… Body Integration Realm!

“You, you’re at the Body Integration Realm!” The Emperor and beloved concubine clung together, unable to believe that the innocent and romantic Empress who seemed so easily bullied, was actually a powerful Body Integration cultivator.

“Your Majesty, my love for you is true!” The Emperor pushed the beloved concubine away and tried to come close to the Empress.

“Love me?” The Empress laughed coldly and pushed the Emperor away.

Seeing this, the beloved concubine knelt and kowtowed, begging for forgiveness: “Dear big sister, for the sake that we entered the palace at the same time, spare me once. I won’t dare do it again!”

“Spare you…” The Empress revealed a cruel smile, and just when she wanted to take action against her beloved sister, she was interrupted by Jiang Li’s cough.

“Well, I think the play is enough.” Jiang Li felt this palace drama was awkwardly embarrassing.

The Empress blushed and quickly dispersed the illusioned people.

She was having fun alone and didn’t expect anyone would enter the Secret Realm.

“Turning dreams into reality, Elder Dream Pure’s Dream Path is deserving of its reputation.” Jiang Li gave a bow in praise.

Even if the Mysterious Secret Realm was not open, Jiang Li had the ability to enter.

Dressed in the empress’s clothes, Dream Pure had a unique charm with countless emotions in her eyes. She slowly curtsied to Jiang Li, her wide red dress sprawling on the ground, like a striking, exotic flower that just blossomed.

“The Human Emperor flatters me too much. As a remnant soul, I can only use these little tricks in the Secret Realm.”

“This is no small trick. Even Bai Hongtu, who has learned the Dream Path, cannot achieve this.”

“What business does the Human Emperor have?” Dream Pure pretended as if she wasn’t just role-playing.

“I would like to ask a question, and also learn the Dream Path.” Jiang Li explained the dream of Dongxu True Person.

“This is indeed very unique.” Dream Pure marvelled at the matter, she had never heard of such a thing before.

She conjured up two wooden chairs and a table: “Please, have a seat, Human Emperor.”

“Dreams reflect the soul and heart. Perhaps the souls of Dongxu True People from different worlds resonated with each other and they can see the scene before their death.”

“This is both a dream and a memory.”

“Is it possible to use dreams as a stepping stone to go to a parallel world?”

After contemplating for a while, Dream Pure hesitantly responded: “In theory, it’s impossible. According to Dongxu True Person’s dream, the incident has already happened, and it’s barely related to the parallel world.”

“However, the First Emperor could perceive your existence, which shows that both of you are against the norm.”

“Since both of you defy the norm, then anything is possible.”

Jiang Li nodded, which was consistent with his conjecture.

“That’s why I’m here to study the Dream Path from you.”
