Mysterious mirror hanging high

Chapter 901 Soul Shackles

"Of course, this method has a dangerous aspect..."

Xiang Zhaoli continued, "The Foundation Establishment Elixir Path is, after all, the most orthodox cultivation method in the world. Once the inner cave heaven is opened within the nascent soul, it will naturally nourish the soul and enter the cave heaven level. It can be said to be a natural progression."

"However, forcibly breaking through the shackles by constructing the [Divine Dream Realm] is still following the path of refining the spirit... This method has not yet been fully mastered, and no genius has yet attained Dao Venerable status using it, so it is somewhat dangerous."

"This is somewhat different from body tempering. If something goes wrong with body tempering, you will only suffer some injuries and you can always recover... But the structure of the soul is too intricate. If you move one part, it will affect the whole body. Once it is damaged, you will become mentally impaired at best, and your soul will be destroyed at worst."

Xiang Zhaoli advised, "Unless you fully comprehend this [Divine Dream Diagram], I do not recommend that you attempt it."

Jing Yu nodded silently and continued to look up and contemplate the mural.

----

After an unknown amount of time, Jing Yu woke up again and fought with Li Fang once more.

Li Fang was quite confident at this moment, and secretly activated the [Divine Dream Law] in an attempt to hypnotize Jing Yu.

The next moment, Jing Yu was indeed somewhat distracted, and even her defensive stance became slightly shaky. Li Fang seized the opportunity, taking advantage of the opening to unleash a powerful spell, and was secretly pleased:

"Good, it really works... The Divine Dream Law is truly wondrous! It seems that even mastering a law depends on luck. I, your grandfather, have made rapid progress in mastering a law, which shows that my comprehension is not much inferior to this kid's!"

Jing Yu felt a slight pain and spat out a mouthful of blood, which pulled him out of his daze.

In fact, he wasn't truly affected by Li Fang's Divine Dream Law just now; he was simply distracted.

Although Li Fang's realm was higher than his own, his understanding of the Divine Dream Law was far too superficial. Jing Yu could even see with his naked eye how the abstract law threads around Li Fang flowed when he activated the Divine Dream Law. In his view, how Li Fang's Divine Dream Law operated and how it worked was like an open card, with absolutely no secrets.

The reason he was somewhat absent-minded at this moment was partly to feign weakness to prevent Li Fang from escalating the conflict and causing a stalemate; and partly because he was genuinely contemplating how to construct the so-called "Divine Dream Realm" using the power of his divine soul.

An hour later, the two fell into a dream again and fainted.

----

Jing Yu opened his eyes. Around him were still the true disciples of the various celestial courts, who were still diligently studying the murals. He continued to study the [Divine Dream Diagram] and comprehend the [Divine Dream Laws]. He completely forgot about the time in the dream, feeling that it was only a blink of an eye before he woke up from the dream again.

After that, in several battles between Li Fang and Jing Yu, Li Fang felt that the boy in front of him was gradually getting weaker. He thought that his speed of comprehending the [Divine Dream Law] had surpassed that of Jing Yu, which made him even happier. He felt that after a few more battles, he should be able to completely kill Jing Yu.

Jing Yu was merely feigning weakness; in reality, he had already comprehended the Divine Dream Law to an extremely high level. The more Li Fang used the Divine Dream Law against him, the more easily he could handle it. It would be better to directly use the Five Elements Technique.

After repeating this process more than ten times, finally—

Jing Yu looked at the [Divine Dream Picture] and felt her mind clear; there were no more questions or doubts about the picture.

At this moment, Jing Yu sat cross-legged and smiled, "So that's how it is... Entering a dream with one's divine soul, no wonder it's called the [Divine Dream Law]."

boom--

A radiant glow emanated from the back of Jing Yu's head, and suddenly three-colored rays of light pierced through his head from his Niwan Palace, weaving into a perfectly round halo in the void.

"Congeal!"

With a soft shout, the halo suddenly shrank to the size of a mustard seed and fell straight into the space between the eyebrows.

Jing Yu suddenly felt a violent tremor in her sea of ​​consciousness; the once calm and still lake of her mind began to boil.

At this moment, Jing Yu's hands moved in a swift motion, activating the Daoist principles contained within the mural.

The patterns on the [Divine Dream Picture] came to life, transforming into silvery-white threads that wrapped around the fingertips.

As the threads gathered more and more, they gradually wove a hazy cocoon of light about half an acre in size in the void. Eventually, the cocoon of light transformed into a mysterious pill and fell into the sea of ​​consciousness.

Suddenly, a thunderous sound came from the depths of his consciousness; it was the divine tribulation lightning accumulated over many years, transformed into the shape of a dragon.

The thunder dragon, with its scales and claws outstretched, crashed into the Xuan Dan, carrying with it a sky full of tribulation lightning.

It was like the first bolt of tribulation lightning at the beginning of time!

In an instant, heaven and earth were reversed, and the originally chaotic inner space of the Xuan Dan suddenly unfolded—a vast expanse of azure sky covered the earth, and in the center stood a ten-thousand-foot-tall divine soul dharma image with the same face as Jing Yu.

The cultivators who were studying the murals in the Divine Dream Palace stopped their meditation at the same time and looked at Jing Yu with a peculiar gaze, their eyes revealing joy.

One of them clapped his hands and laughed:

"The nine palaces of Niwan open their mysterious gates, and the three lights shine brightly, illuminating the Purple Palace."

Another person loudly echoed:

"The True Man Huangting embraces the elixir in his abode, where white clouds swirl and radiate divine brilliance."

At this moment, all the cultivators in the hall chanted in unison:

"Work hard day and night without stopping, but a little spiritual wisdom is too small..."

Finally, Xiang Zhaoli, standing beside Jing Yu, whispered:

"If you wish to ask where to find immortality, the spirit enters the void and returns everywhere."

Jing Yu suddenly opened his eyes, and all the cultivators in the hall bowed in unison: "Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Xuanjing on breaking through the shackles and undergoing a transformation of your soul..."

Before Jing Yu could even experience the wonders of her soul transformation, she was suddenly stared at by so many geniuses, and she was completely bewildered. She quickly returned the greeting with a cupped-hand salute.

Subsequently, these true disciples of the Celestial Court left the Celestial Palace, leaving only Xiang Zhaoli behind.

"Brother Zhaoli, what is this...?" Jing Yu asked in confusion.

Xiang Zhaoli smiled without saying a word. Just then, a woman stepped into the palace.

With just a glance, Jing Yu sensed that this person possessed an extraordinary temperament. His figure was like a phantom formed from smoke and mist, and he was shrouded in a faint silver-white light. When he moved, his movements were like ripples on water, as if he might disappear into the gap between reality and dreams at any moment.

As for the woman's appearance? Jing Yu could clearly see her face, but in the next instant, he couldn't remember it at all, only that she was an extremely beautiful woman.

Upon seeing the woman, Xiang Zhaoli bowed and smiled, "So it's Lady Shenmeng..."

The Divine Dream Daoist smiled and nodded to Xiang Zhaoli: "Greetings, young friend Zhaoli. Xuanjing and I still have some things to discuss..."

Xiang Zhaoli, knowing the situation, left the Divine Dream Palace directly, leaving only Jing Yu and the Divine Dream Daoist in the palace.

Shenmeng Daozun simply looked at Jing Yu quietly, and after a long while, he chuckled softly:

"Jing Yu, how does it feel to have your soul break free of its shackles first?"

Jing Yu took a deep breath, her expression solemn, and respectfully said, "Greetings, Lord Shenmeng..."

The goddess-like figure before us is truly at the pinnacle of all the myriad realms.

Even powerful beings like the Nine Lives Dao Lord and the Universal Salvation Buddha Lord are insignificant in front of this person.

This was the first time Jing Yu had ever faced a Dao Venerable being directly!
