Chapter 527: Chapter 54 Unmatched in the World

Dream Command was the founding ancestor of the Nightmare Sect, a True One Magical Artifact left behind by a True Monarch.

This True One Magical Artifact was most suited for executing the Dream Realm Technique, but had been in a “sleeping” state all along.

After absorbing the True Soul of True Man Qingding, Dream Command automatically activated, forming a dream realm based on the True Soul of True Man Qingding and the original consciousness of Ai Liangshan.

At this point, the True Soul of True Man Qingding was incredibly weak and completely incapable of resistance, let alone taking over the True One Magical Artifact.

Although the dream realm was formed, Dream Command was still in a “sleeping” state, and if Li Fei did not actively explore, he would not be able to discover this dream realm.

Li Fei recalled that on the third night after his arrival in the Daluo Sect, he entered the dream realm for the first time.

After that, he entered the dream realm twice more during the Martial Arts exchange competition at Tianqu University.

There was one thing common in these three instances of entering the dream realm–True Man Qing Xia was present.

Ai Liangshan was a disciple of Qing Xia, who previously declared in the Taixu Hall that he had attempted to divine the cause of Ai Liangshan’s death using divination but was obstructed by the tactic of Qingxu True Monarch, which hid the heavens’ secrets.

Li Fei speculated that his three entrances into the dream realm were likely due to Qing Xia’s divination affecting the heavens’ secrets, which in turn stirred the original consciousness of Ai Liangshan, allowing him to enter the dream.

Inside the private room, after Li Fei completely “interpreted the dream,” he slowly opened his eyes.

He had almost figured out the whole cause and effect of the situation, understanding why he became involved in this matter.

Only one piece of the puzzle remained–what exactly were Qingxu True Monarch and True Man Qingding after all these years of secretly stealing the Emperor’s Dragon Qi?

What kind of plan was it that made Qingxu True Monarch willing to personally kill an important alchemist like Qingding True Man and close off the mountain for a decade to accomplish it?

Li Fei touched the Dream Command in his pocket.

After his “dream interpretation,” the True Soul of True Man Qingding also completely “awakened,” and the two could directly communicate.

“Does this mean I’m now carrying an old grandpa around with me?”

Li Fei couldn’t help but chuckle.

For a True Soul like that of True Man Qingding, Dream Command was almost the perfect resting place, but its subsequent “nourishment” would rely on Li Fei.

Moreover, now that True Man Qingding’s True Soul was extremely weak, Li Fei could erase it in a moment’s thought.

In True Man Qingding’s presence, Li Fei clearly held the absolute initiative!

Li Fei sent his Void Thought into Dream Command and made contact with the True Soul of True Man Qingding:

“True Man.”

“Who would have thought that the Dream Command, stolen from the Nightmare Sect over a decade ago, would end up in your hands, who are you?”

True Man Qingding asked.

At the time he was attracted by Dream Command and entered it, he had no time to check Li Fei’s identity. He only knew that the other party was a visitor from the thirteen universities and was very young, probably a student from one of the universities.

“Why don’t you answer my question first, True Man?”

“Ha, now that you are the hunter and I am the prey, whatever you ask, naturally I will answer. I consider myself still somewhat valuable, so what do you plan to do with me in the future?”

A living True Master, and moreover, the world’s foremost alchemist, how could that be just ‘somewhat valuable’?

Li Fei secretly delighted in his thoughts and said to True Man Qingding:

“Then I will speak frankly. In the future, True Man, please settle down inside this Dream Command, and I will properly nourish your True Soul so that you need not worry about anything. In return, I need True Man’s experience and knowledge, and I hope you will spare no detail.”

True Man Qingding went silent for a short while.

As he said, he was the meat on the chopping block.

In his current state, he was even incapable of setting an Oath Technique with Li Fei, and if he did not wish to completely dissipate from the world, he could only agree to Li Fei’s demands.

Fortunately, Li Fei had shown him some dignity and spoke respectfully towards him, rather than bluntly saying, “Old man, obey or die!”

This made True Man Qingding feel much better.

“Fine, but let me say one thing first. Many of the inheritances I learned from the Daluo Sect have been bound by oaths, and now I have only a wisp of True Soul remaining. If I break those oaths, I will immediately vanish into smoke. If you want to obtain the inheritances of Daluo Sect from me, I fear it will be difficult.”

True Man Qingding said.

“No matter.”

Li Fei didn’t mind that.

It wasn’t that he wasn’t covetous of the Daluo Sect’s inheritances, but compared to a complete person, it was much easier to make a mere wisp of a True Soul ‘break an oath.’

He would find a way eventually.

“True Man, tell me, what exactly are you and Qingxu True Monarch planning? Why do you want to steal the Emperor’s Dragon Qi?”

Li Fei inquired.

“…”

True Man Qingding remained silent.

“What’s the matter, is even this bound by an oath?”

Li Fei was somewhat skeptical.

For such a significant matter, if one wasn’t sincerely intent on doing it, merely using Oath Techniques to oblige would definitely be ineffective.

Therefore, he didn’t believe that Qingxu True Monarch would have True Man Qingding swear an oath on this issue.

“…I have not sworn any oath regarding this matter, but I can roughly guess what the… Qingxu wishes to do next.”

True Man Qingding slowly said,

“If I don’t tell you, he might still have a chance to succeed. If I tell you, his chances will be even smaller.”

“And now you still think of concealing it for him?”

Li Fei found it somewhat unbelievable.

True Man Qingding had been harmed to such a state by Qingxu, yet he was still considering the other person’s interests?

“You misunderstand.”

True Man Qingding sensed Li Fei’s thoughts, “Initially, this matter was my idea, and he helped me refine this plan bit by bit. So you could say, this is the shared dream of both of us.”
