Chapter 147 - 134: Divine Dream - Third Realm, Temporary Suspension 1
The morning breeze passed through the window lattice, caressing Wang Ba. He sat quietly on the wooden bed, in front of him laid a sheet of gold paper.
As a rubbing, this gold paper that recorded the “Divine Dream Method” did not contain the corresponding ‘true meaning of the spell.
Even though it detailed every step of cultivation, it was almost impossible to master without understanding the true meaning of the spell.
This is why some cultivators boldly carry some spell rubbings in their storage bags.
Aside from making it convenient for them to ponder and practice anytime, it is also because others are unlikely to master it even if they unfortunately snatch it away.
Of course, Wang Ba considered that there might be exceptions to this.
Perhaps it was because of Ji Lin’s reverence for the “Divine Dream Method” that Wang Ba was also full of anticipation, so he rushed to read the entire gold paper carefully.
After reading it, Wang Ba felt both elated and disappointed.
He was elated because this unique and powerful spell accompanying the “Book of Yin God’s Grand Dream” was indeed extraordinary.
But he was disappointed because, strictly speaking, this was not a spell used for face-to-face combat.
It was more geared towards support.
If explained in the categories of spells understood by Qi Refining cultivators, it can perhaps categorize the “Divine Dream Method” under the ‘illusion’ type.
It indeed matched the characteristic of the “Book of Yin God’s Grand Dream” that could deceive others.
The key point was, this spell can only be truly effective when stimulated with the Power of the Yin God cultivated through the “Book of Yin God’s Grand
Dream”.
“This spell is divided into three realms, corresponding to the three stages of the ‘Book of Yin God’s Grand Dream’.”
“The first realm, Sensory Perception;”
“The second realm, Heart Perception;”
“The third realm, True and Unfalse.”
Wang Ba looked at the first realm, which contained many small tricks for using the Power of the Yin God.
If he mastered the first realm, he would be able to use the Power of the Yin God with perfect compatibility with the surrounding environment.
As long as he was not touched by the opponent’s Spiritual Power or Spiritual Sense, the disguise would be absolutely impossible to see through before the Power of the Yin God was exhausted.
There would be no situation as before where he was exposed due to changes in light and shadow.
Of course, the first realm had little value for him now.
Because he had encountered many Foundation Establishment Competitors.
As long as they were at that stage, a sweep of their Spiritual Sense would be able to see through the disguise effect of the first realm.
The effectiveness was greatly reduced.
As for the second realm, it could only be implemented after the “Book of Yin God’s Grand Dream” was cultivated to the second layer.
It could bypass the five senses and directly deceive the opponent’s mind, implanting thoughts and illusions in the opponent’s soul and mind.
It seemed to be an illusion technique, but it was even more bizarre than ordinary illusion technique.
Of course, this ability seems strong, but it also has many restrictions.
The first is that it consumes a great deal of the Power of the Yin God, and the implanted thoughts and illusions cannot deviate too much from the opponent s inherent cognition.
The gold paper gives a very apt example of this.
For instance, if the opponent is clearly male, you can’t forcefully implant the cognition of ‘being a woman’ in opponent’s soul and mind.
This would cause the cognitive collapse, instantly breaking the deception status.
And there will be a natural rejection of the Power of the Yin God, subsequently the effect of deception would become increasingly poor, even ineffective.
Of course, if the user isn’t in a hurry, they can gradually let the opponent realise under the deception that they are not actually repelled by the idea of becoming the opposite sex…
Furthermore, the stronger the opponent’s soul, the lesser the probability of having thoughts implanted.
This point doesn’t need to be said as Wang Ba was well aware, otherwise this spell would be too terrifying.
Aside from these limitations, there are other restrictions which Wang Ba glanced over quickly and kept in his mind.
In terms of the third realm ‘True and Unfalse’, Wang Ba didn’t quite understand.
Although he recognized every word, the meaning exceeded his comprehension. It seemed to involve esoteric concepts such as ‘replacing truth with falsehood and ‘inversion of reality’.
One of Wang Ba’s advantages is that he doesn’t obsess over things. He did not waste time trying to understand these concepts. Instead, he directly spent 17.8 years of his lifespan to successfully master the first realm ‘Sensory Perception’. He could clearly feel that his usage of the Power of the Yin God had become more proficient.
Even influenced by this, his perception of the soul in his own body was becoming clearer.
Once he could completely sense his own soul, that represents ‘Essence, Qi, Spirit’, of which the ‘Spirit’ element had achieved its peak.
As for the second realm, it was the same as the second layer of the “Book of Yin God’s Grand Dream”, it didn’t show up in the list of consumable items.
After tallying his gains, he opened the Heavenly Gate Order and indeed found the compulsory task marked as completed.
Due to Bu Chan submitting the information of two Incense-burning Dao Cultivators, as well as preventing one from trying to infiltrate the East Saint stronghold through body possession, Wang Ba was rewarded with five hundred Merit points.
At the same time, he and Bu Chan split four hundred Spirit Stones.
As for these rewards, Wang Ba didn’t pay much attention.
He once thought about trying hard to accumulate Merit points to join the Tianmen Cult and become an inner disciple someday.
However, when he learned from Yu Changchun that even inner disciples are remembered by Soul Dao practitioners for their soul aura, he completely gave up on this idea.
Tianmen Cult, after all, was not his final destination.
Shaking his head, Wang Ba got up from the wooden bed, found that in the short time, Bu Chan had already put on his robes and wore a bamboo dustpan around his waist. He was picking fruits in the spirit field..
