#250 - The Emperor's Daughter Comes into My Dream

Chapter 249: The Emperor's Daughter Enters My Dream

The Six-Syllable Mantra is also known as the Mind-Stabilizing Mantra.

Although Zhang Chen didn't know how the Six-Syllable Mantra could restrain the Great自在Heavenly Demon, he already knew from the Great自在Heavenly Demon's words that if he wanted to completely control the Great自在Heavenly Demon in the future, he would have to start with the Six-Syllable Mantra.

His own Light of the Righteous God only had the power to kill the Great自在Heavenly Demon, but it didn't have the ability to control it, especially since the world of the mind was mysterious and profound, and the Light of the Righteous God couldn't even penetrate his own spiritual world.

What was the use of killing the Great自在Heavenly Demon's clone? Who knew how many clones this guy had? Moreover, clones could be reshaped with a single thought.

Looking at the stone cave in front of him, his emotions gradually calmed down. Zhang Chen thought to himself, 'Why can't my Light of the Righteous God appear in the meditative state world? If there was the protection of the Light of the Righteous God, the Great自在Heavenly Demon would never have been able to exploit the loopholes in my mind.'

The meditative state world can also be called the world of the mind. This is not just Zhang Chen's internal soul, nor is it the sea of consciousness, but within the soul's consciousness.

After thinking for a long time without success, Zhang Chen wondered how to deal with the Great自在Heavenly Demon. After thinking for a long time, he finally had a plan in his mind, and then sensed the mark of the Great自在Heavenly Demon in the dark. Since separating from Xie Lingyun, this mark had been split into eighteen. Zhang Chen thought to himself, "This Great自在Heavenly Demon has indeed spread out! This old boy is not honest!"

Then Zhang Chen summoned the Great自在Heavenly Demon, and said in a cold voice, "You old boy are really a bit interesting."

"There's nothing interesting about it." The Great自在Heavenly Demon appeared beside Zhang Chen, his face full of bitterness. He knew that if there were no accidents, he would be unlucky today.

The Great自在Heavenly Demon smiled awkwardly: "I was just joking with you, don't take it seriously."

Zhang Chen glanced at the Great自在Heavenly Demon: "This joke is not funny at all! But if you can do one thing for me, then our debt will be wiped out."

The Great自在Heavenly Demon's heart moved when he heard this, and he tentatively asked with a face full of excitement, "Really? What is it? Just tell me, Old Ancestor, I will never say no."

"I will let you go free now and ask you to invade the various powerhouses in the northern lands. Invade as many as you can. Go and do it," Zhang Chen said.

The Great自在Heavenly Demon's expression changed when he heard this, and he said in disbelief, "Really? Is there such a good thing?"

"Of course it's true!" Zhang Chen said with a smile: "Especially the people from the Pingbian Royal Mansion, not a single one can be left out."

"Why do you have this change in thinking?" The Great自在Heavenly Demon was puzzled.

"You have countless incarnations, it's as if I can keep you locked up. Don't think I don't know, your clones have already spread. Now I'm asking you to control the Pingbian Royal Mansion, but I'm giving you a task. If you don't do it well, don't blame me for dragging out all your demon seeds one by one, and then eliminating them one by one. I know you have the ability to be reborn from demon seeds, but this process takes time, right? It takes your power to accumulate again, right? If you're not afraid, then just slack off," Zhang Chen said with a smile.

"You wait for good news." Seeing that Zhang Chen was not joking, the Great自在Heavenly Demon turned around and ran without saying a word, his figure disappearing directly into the world.

Zhang Chen looked at the Great自在Heavenly Demon leaving, and couldn't help but sigh softly: "Anyway, there is already a Curse Demon God born in this world, and there are also twelfth-order gods suppressing the world, so it shouldn't be a problem to have one more Great自在Heavenly Demon. The Great自在Heavenly Demon is now considered half of my subordinate, and using the Great自在Heavenly Demon to make arrangements in advance is also a good thing for me."

However, in order to prevent the Great自在Heavenly Demon from leaving behind any means, Zhang Chen once again entered the meditative state and carefully checked his meditative state void, lest the Great自在Heavenly Demon still had any backhands.

After checking it again and again, and seeing that there was nothing abnormal, Zhang Chen was relieved, and began to recover his mental strength, absorbing the essence of the sun and moon between heaven and earth to restore his soul power, while also recovering his magic power.

As Zhang Chen's magic power recovered, Zhang Chen's consciousness withdrew from the meditative state, opened his eyes and looked at the stone cave in front of him, and saw the little fox spirit playing with the 'little wild cat'.

Zhang Chen sat in front of the Eight Trigrams Furnace and pondered his Light of the Righteous God, and saw that as the Light of the Righteous God was upgraded, the dark mist in his body was constantly being illuminated.

Now that Zhang Chen's Light of the Righteous God was already at the fourth level, his heart, liver, spleen, and stomach were all lit up, only the kidney water had not been ignited, and was still shrouded in darkness.

"Perhaps my Light of the Righteous God is too low in level, or perhaps when it reaches the twelfth level, or even breaks through the limit of the twelfth level and enters the 'innate' level, it will have the power to penetrate into the darkness and interfere with my mental power," Zhang Chen thought to himself.

His own Light of the Righteous God was too low in level, and it was time to upgrade it again. The fourth-level Light of the Righteous God was a bit powerless in the face of the existence of Yin Gods.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chen turned his head to look at the Eight Trigrams Furnace, and saw that the flames in the Eight Trigrams Furnace were raging, but there were no other changes besides the flames being more fierce. The golden scissors were still intact in the flames.

Zhang Chen put away the fox fairy Nannan, then grabbed Zhao Lie by the neck, and rubbed him back and forth in his hands, rubbing Zhao Lie constantly resisting, but his immature strength was simply unable to resist Zhang Chen's methods.

Zhang Chen rubbed him for a while, then put Zhao Lie down. This little wild cat was locked by the dragon tendon, so he was not afraid of him escaping.

After rubbing Zhao Lie for a while, Zhang Chen's figure turned into mist and came to the cave where the bumblebees were stored, and saw the falcon resting in the cave, and the group of bumblebees were also escaping the heat.

Zhang Chen waved his hand and the falcon flew to him, and then Zhang Chen activated the Six-Syllable Mantra, and saw the Six-Syllable Mantra turn into a stream of light and fly into the falcon's mind: "I hope you can gain good fortune and open your spiritual intelligence, and then breathe in the mysterious air between heaven and earth to become a demon beast."

He was only giving the falcon a glimmer of hope. It was not so easy to become a demon beast. It needed to obtain the legendary aura. Even if Zhang Chen had cultivated until now, he still had not understood what aura was.

Zhang Chen took care of the falcon, and then turned his attention to the bumblebee swarm: "I wonder if I can cultivate a bumblebee king, and then let him graze the bumblebee swarm for me."

Zhang Chen activated the Beast Control Technique to sense the bumblebee swarm. As his heart moved, the physical condition of countless bumblebees was reflected in his mind. After a moment, Zhang Chen selected the strongest bumblebee, and then applied the Six-Syllable Mantra Buddhist spell, and then let the bumblebee return to the swarm.

He had given them the opportunity to open their spiritual intelligence, and as for whether they could transform into demon beasts and monsters, it depended on their luck.

Then Zhang Chen returned to the front of the Eight Trigrams Furnace, and quietly waited for the furnace fire of the Eight Trigrams Furnace to burn the ball. The ball was a twelfth-order mystery, and its firmness was beyond Zhang Chen's imagination. It could not be burned and melted in a moment, and this required slow waiting.

That night, Zhang Chen did not continue to explore the spiritual secret realm, but chose to sleep. He also had to reserve his magic power to adjust the alchemy furnace at a critical moment, after all, anything could happen outside.

As Zhang Chen fell asleep, suddenly the void in front of him changed, and he found himself in a spacious hall.

"Strange, I clearly remember falling asleep? Why am I here? Dreaming? It doesn't seem like it? How can I be so clear-headed if I'm dreaming? Could it be that the Great自在Heavenly Demon still has a backhand, and is plotting against me again? It shouldn't be! I've already swept out all the power he left in my spiritual world, right?"

Zhang Chen's consciousness stood in the hall, with a hint of caution in his eyes. He always felt that he was extremely awake now, and this kind of awake consciousness did not seem like a dream.

"I'm dreaming! My Six-Syllable Mantra tells me that this is a dream!" Zhang Chen stood in the hall, and a certain intuition suddenly emerged in his heart.

But this dream was so strange; why was I so lucid? Could it be that after mastering the Six-Syllable Mantra, I had also mastered a Buddhist supernatural power, the "Dream Enlightenment Grand Method"?

Just as he was pondering why he was so lucid in his dream, familiar voices suddenly echoed from the backyard.

"Quick, take a look, how do we crack open this God-Demon body?"

"This God-Demon has a protective golden aura. To crack it open, we need to break this aura first. This golden light is quite peculiar; it's solid, yet filled with a strange sharpness. Its light is seemingly indestructible, truly befitting the methods of an ancient God-Demon."

"Sir, do you have a way to break this protective golden light?" Just as Zhang Chen was wondering where he had heard these familiar voices, another familiar, youthful voice chimed in.

"If my flying sword were still here, I might have a chance to break this defense, but now that my flying sword is lost, I am powerless against this golden light."

… …

Listening to the discussions coming from the backyard of the palace, Zhang Chen's pupils suddenly constricted. He remembered the source of the voices. One was Zhang Xiaohua, another was Fifth or Sixth Mister, but he couldn't recognize the other person.

"Strange, truly strange. Why would I dream of the Pacifying Frontier Prince's Estate? Could it be that I'm just dreaming about what I've been thinking about during the day?" Zhang Chen found it very strange. His current state was strange, and this dream was even stranger.

So, he tiptoed towards the backyard. After passing through halls and corridors, he arrived at the backyard and followed the voices to a side hall. The doors of the side hall were open, and inside stood a corpse radiating golden light, enveloping the entire body.

Beside the corpse stood five people: the Pacifying Frontier Prince, Fifth or Sixth Mister, and Zhang Xiaohua. He also recognized the other two: Gu Mingyue, and a man in white robes who had stood with Chen Sanliang.

The five were circling the corpse, looking at each other, constantly scrutinizing it.

Zhang Chen stood outside the hall, carefully observing everything inside, a hint of caution in his eyes. Various thoughts raced through his mind. He couldn't understand why he was in such a bizarre dream, and more importantly, why he was dreaming of the Pacifying Frontier Prince's Estate? And even dismembering the Emperor's Daughter?

Logically speaking, he had already reached the Forget-Self realm in his cultivation, and he shouldn't be dreaming anymore, especially not such a strange dream.

At this moment, the Pacifying Frontier Prince had a troubled expression as he circled the corpse, anxiously saying, "What do we do now? If we can't break the God-Demon body's defenses, we can't seize the power inherited from the God-Demon. If we can't obtain the good fortune within, how can we resist the court's oppression? If we can't transform the ancient God-Demon's body into power in time, it will be a misfortune rather than a blessing for us."

The ancient God-Demon's body was not only coveted by the court, but also by all the major forces in the world. If they couldn't quickly transform it into strength, a great trouble would await the Pacifying Frontier Prince's Estate.

"I didn't expect the ancient God-Demon's methods to be so powerful. Even after dying countless millennia ago, it still has such powerful and incredible supernatural protection," Zhang Xiaohua circled the ancient God-Demon's tomb once and then made a judgment: "We can't break through the methods left behind by this ancient God-Demon. We need unconventional methods."

Saying this, she looked at Fifth or Sixth Mister: "That Mister Chen Xu possesses incredible methods. His two brushes are naturally able to restrain all kinds of restrictions. Why not invite Mister Chen Xu to take action and see if he can break this restriction?"

The Pacifying Frontier Prince also turned to look at Fifth or Sixth Mister upon hearing this. Fifth or Sixth Mister nodded, "Your Highness, please rest assured, I will invite Mister Chen over now."

As he spoke, Fifth or Sixth Mister walked towards the door. Zhang Chen was shocked and quickly tried to find a hidden place to hide, but he felt as if he had been immobilized and couldn't move at all.

"I'm done for. If Fifth or Sixth Mister walks out of the hall, as long as he's not blind, he will definitely see me," Zhang Chen thought in shock.

Just as various thoughts were swirling in his mind, he saw Fifth or Sixth Mister walking out of the door, but he seemed to be blind and deaf to Zhang Chen, who was close at hand, and walked away on his own.

"He can't see me!" Zhang Chen was overjoyed: "That's right, this is a dream. Perhaps due to the peculiarity of the dream, they can't see me at all."

Thinking of this, Zhang Chen made a guess and cautiously walked out, arriving in front of the door. As expected, the Pacifying Frontier Prince and the others were oblivious to his presence.

Seeing this, Zhang Chen mustered his courage and walked into the hall, arriving in front of the ancient Goddess-Demon's corpse. The Goddess-Demon was wrapped in golden light, with countless runes flowing within, appearing hazy as if there was a layer of mist, making it difficult to see the God-Demon's appearance and form in the coffin.

Zhang Chen shifted his gaze from the ancient Goddess-Demon's body, looking at the Pacifying Frontier Prince, carefully observing his appearance, then retracted his gaze and quietly retreated to the side, pondering why he was having such a dream.

Just as countless thoughts were flashing through Zhang Chen's mind, two figures walked in from outside the door: Fifth or Sixth Mister and Chen Xu.

"Greetings, Your Highness," Chen Xu bowed.

The Pacifying Frontier Prince said with a serious expression, "Mister Chen, now our hope rests on you. Please take action."

Chen Xu nodded upon hearing this and didn't waste any words. Instead, he directly summoned his brushes and continuously brushed in front of the ancient God-Demon's protective golden light. In the next moment, the golden light seemed to grow mottled rust under the effect of the brushes. Even the eternally existing, seemingly indestructible golden light was corroded by the power and became rusty.

"It's working!" Seeing this scene, the Pacifying Frontier Prince and the others were overjoyed and all came forward to watch, staring at the rust marks with their eyes wide open, revealing suppressed joy at the corners of their mouths.

But Zhang Chen's expression changed drastically when he saw this scene. He never expected Chen Xu's brushes to be so powerful.

As Chen Xu's two brushes swept down, the golden light twisted for a while, and a hole suddenly shattered. Then, countless mysterious gases were released from the hole.

Chen Xu, the Pacifying Frontier Prince, and the others who were at the forefront were directly hit by the mysterious gas. The mysterious gas actually poured directly into their bodies, and under the nourishment of the mysterious gas, mysterious runes began to flow around them again.

Along with the leakage of the mysterious gas, the Emperor's Daughter's body began to gradually age, and a large amount of mysterious substances emerged from the Emperor's Daughter's body and was absorbed by the Pacifying Frontier Prince and the others.

"That is the Emperor's Daughter's essence, qi, and spirit origin. That golden罩 is not only the Emperor's Daughter's protective shield, but also locks in the Emperor's Daughter's essence, qi, and spirit. Once the Emperor's Daughter's shield is broken, its essence, qi, and spirit will leak out, and it will naturally decay rapidly," Zhang Chen thought of the conclusion he had drawn in the ancient era when he saw this scene. When the concentration of mysterious substances in the Emperor's Daughter's body is greater than the concentration of mysterious substances in the world, the mysterious substances in the Emperor's Daughter's body will flow towards the world.

Once its essence, qi, and spirit are exhausted, it will be the time when its body completely perishes.

Zhang Chen was not a cultivation novice, and he could see the clues in the current situation at a glance.

This dream is too real, just like a real thing.
