Chapter 132: The Prison-Taming Immortal Scripture, Young Man

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation       Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Dream Ruins City, the Realm of Dreams, the Great Dream Sovereign…” Lu Xuan’s dark eyes deepened. As Ru Shou’s consciousness burned away with the milfoil stalk, Lu Xuan witnessed his life story unfold like a movie, revealing the secrets of Dream Ruins City.

Interestingly, after learning about Ru Shou’s life, Lu Xuan realized they were somewhat akin. Ru Shou was a seasoned archaeologist, inheriting a family craft and accompanying his grandfather on tomb raids since childhood. During one expedition into an imperial tomb, they unearthed a rare life-extending herb.

Ru Shou, frugal by nature, reasoned that his elderly grandfather had lived long enough and that consuming the herb would be a waste. In a ruthless decision, he buried his grandfather alive in the tomb, giving him an imperial-level burial — a twisted form of filial piety.

Ru Shou, now over four thousand years old, had been tomb raiding since his earliest memories, boasting vast experience and profound knowledge of ancient history. The scrolls and manuscripts found in tombs enriched his scholarship, while the dangers encountered therein honed his bravery.

Most people, upon realizing they were caught in a struggle between Sovereigns ,would act cautiously, avoiding confrontation. But Ru Shou, accustomed to risks from years of tomb raiding, saw opportunity in danger.

Upon learning the secrets of Dream Ruins City, his first instinct was to seize the opportunity. “Ru Shou believed that Dream Ruins City might hold the legacy of the Dream Sovereign. Gaining it could potentially grant him control over the Realm of Dreams,” Lu Xuan interpreted his thoughts.

Ru Shou planned to turn He Zhao into a puppet and then take control of the city’s leader, gradually uncovering the city’s secrets. However, his plan ended abruptly, as Lu Xuan eradicated him during the first step.

Ru Shou was knowledgeable in many fields, akin to a hexagonal warrior. But Lu Xuan’s abilities were more expansive, represented by a large, encompassing circle.

“…Thank you, Senior Gong Gong, for saving my life,” He Zhao said, ready to bow in gratitude inside the temple.

“Eh, that’s not necessary,” Lu Xuan stopped him. “I also did it to pass the Immortal Tomb’s newbie assessment, not just to save you.”

“But… with Senior Ru Shou gone, what about the Immortal Tomb…” He Zhao realized the implications.

“Don’t worry about it,” Lu Xuan reassured him. “When I made my move, I used some techniques to obscure the celestial secrets of this place… It should fool the Immortal Tomb space.”

Lu Xuan had not destroyed Ru Shou’s soul, only his consciousness, to maintain the connection with the Immortal Tomb. Ru Shou’s soul remained, albeit as a lifeless shell.

According to Nangong Xuan’s report, Lu Xuan believed the Immortal Tomb space couldn’t discern Ru Shou’s true state. After all, the space lacked an independent thinking entity and operated on set programs and rules.

Lu Xuan planned to probe the master of the Immortal Tomb during their next gathering, possibly even overthrowing them and their followers if feasible.

Turning his attention to He Zhao, Lu Xuan considered the young man and all the inhabitants of Dream Ruins City, unaware they were mere characters in the Great Dream Sovereign’s dream. In ancient times, people from the Archean Eon world could enter the Realm of Dreams. But the native beings of the Dream Realm would vanish if they left the dream, becoming nothingness. This is why the Dream Realm couldn’t be considered part of reality.

“Ru Shou’s deduction was reasonable. The essence of the Dream Realm is the Great Dream Sovereign’s dream. Once the Sovereign falls, the dream ends, and all beings within it dissipate… Dream Ruins City was deliberately left behind.”

Lu Xuan furrowed his brows. Why did the Dream Sovereign do this? Was it a plan for revival, leaving behind a legacy, or to convey some message?

“Someone knew of the Dream Sovereign’s plan, hence the erosion of Dream Ruins City… But the identity and purpose of the Dream Sovereign’s enemy remain unknown.”

Lu Xuan shook his head, “Let’s deal with the immediate issue first.

He knew what he needed to do. He Zhao, a being of the Dream Realm, was very much alive in this world. And Lu Xuan, appreciating the young man’s character, decided to lend a helping hand.

“He Zhao.”

“Yes, Senior, I’m here,” He Zhao quickly responded, deeply respectful towards

“Senior Gong Gong” after witnessing his power and being saved from Ru Shou.

“I see your character is decent, and your potential is satisfactory. I have a Daoist technique I’d like to pass on to you. Would you accept it?” Lu Xuan stood with his hands behind his back.

He Zhao was stunned, “This… It’s said that teachings shouldn’t be passed on lightly. I have nothing to offer Senior in return; how can I just accept your legacy…”

“Hmm… It’s not exactly my legacy, but it suits your current situation,” Lu Xuan explained. “However, passing this technique to you isn’t without conditions.”

He gazed at He Zhao, “My lineage worships a boundlessly great being named Sovereign of Longevity, the enemy of the master of the Immortal Tomb… Do you understand?”
