Chapter 1435 - Attacked in Dreamland
The green bronze ruler trembled immediately, exuding stripes of pink power which landed on Zeng Lin’s palm as he was holding the ruler.
Zeng Lin endured the pain and opened her eyes from her contemplation.
The Wang Clan Master’s eyes lit up in admiration. “Congratulations to the Lord of the Holy Saint Temple! Zeng Lin has met the requirements of the Red Dust Dream!”
The Lord of the Holy Saint Temple heaved a long sigh of relief as if a huge stone dangling from his heart had suddenly been lifted. His face overflowed with uncontrollable excitement saying, “Hahaha! Zeng Lin, I have been training you in preparation for this day and you have not disappointed me!”
He glared at the Mistress of the Greatest Saint Lady Temple, evidently as a form of provocation.
The only remaining representative of the Greatest Saint Lady Temple was Xueyi. The ruler in the palm of her hand did not move, just like the stiff and bland expression on the face of the Mistress of the Greatest Saint Lady Temple.
The three candidates who were standing behind the Mistress of the Greatest Saint Lady Temple could feel the tense and forbidding atmosphere.
She was very nervous!
There was far more to this test than what she had expected, and it did not mean that you would win just because you were strong.
At that moment, the ruler in Xueyi’s hands finally transformed!
A yellow light appeared slowly and silently and proceeded towards the second notch at a steady speed.
“Look! Xueyi’s notch has also appeared! But the speed doesn’t seem to be as fast!”
“Zeng Lin’s speed just now almost wasn’t enough. Xueyi’s one might be…”
But soon they realized they were wrong.
After the yellow halo passed the second notch, there was no sign of slowing down, and it continued to move towards the third notch at a steady pace.
After about the time it would take to burn a joss stick, the yellow halo successfully reached the third notch!
At that moment, everyone seemed to have heard the loud sigh of relief coming from the direction of the Greatest Saint Lady Temple.
But everyone’s eyes were fixed on the ruler, as the yellow halo continued to climb upward.
Although the speed had slowed down, it was still moving steadily.
One breath, two breaths, ten breaths, everyone’s eyes were staring at the yellow halo without blinking until it finally stopped after the fourth notch!
“Ha! Four notches! Such powerful spiritual power and deep red dust heart!”
“Where is this Xueyi from? Even if the Holy Saint and Saint Lady personally took the test, would they even get such a result?”
There was a whimper from the crowd. The face of Zeng Lin, whose glamour and attention was short-lived, immediately stiffened.
The Lord of the Holy Saint Temple did not feel that it was a big deal. After all, she was Saint Lady. Being able to achieve all four notches was no big surprise.
“Wonderful! Really wonderful! Four notches are completely in line with the requirements of the Red Dust Dream, and it demonstrates a high standard of ability!” He stood up, cupped his hand towards the Mistress of the Greatest Saint Lady Temple, and started to laugh and praise her, “Congratulations to Mistress of the Greatest Saint Lady Temple, you have nurtured a great talent. ”
The old face of the Mistress of the Greatest Saint Lady Temple simply smiled.
The two most promising candidates had succeeded in qualifying for the Red Dust Dream, and everyone was relieved. Finally, they had found the candidates that were capable of spiritual communication.
“Alright, there is no time to lose. Let’s start the spiritual communication so we can understand the situation at Fan Capital.” The Lord of the Holy Saint Temple could not wait any longer.
Everyone’s eyes lit up with curiosity as they gathered around.
The Mistress of the Greatest Saint Lady Temple was intrigued, and even the Spirit Wizard was curious.
Their focus was all on Xueyi, Zeng Lin, and the Red Dust Dream, but they had forgotten that there were two more candidates who were not done yet.
Buzz!
Suddenly, everyone heard a sound, making them look back in surprise.
Everyone’s eyes witnessed a scene that they could not believe.
Cai Lin’s ruler also had a yellow halo, and it was proceeding towards the second notch at a steady pace!
Soon, the second notch was easily crossed, and after the duration of half a burning joss stick, it crossed the third notch!
What was even more amazing was that in the end, it crossed the fourth notch and stopped at around the same place as Xueyi’s!
“How is this possible? In the God Realm, she belongs to the level five realm, far away from level three. Her spiritual energy should be much less developed than those at level three! How come it is about the same as Xueyi?” Everyone was very surprised.
The Lord of the Holy Saint Temple thought something was odd and said, “Wang Clan Master, please elucidate us. So many of the level three candidates could not even pass the third notch. But, she, who is only at level five realm, has reached the fourth notch. That result is not convincing. ”
Although the Wang Clan Master was elated, he was not surprised. He said, “The ruler test was about detecting the standards of the spiritual strength and Hongchen heart. If the Honcheng heart is very strong, even if the spiritual strength is inadequate, I am not surprised! However, this occurrence is very rare, and is one in a billion! ”
He looked at Cai Lin in amazement and said, “I think she must have a profound feeling that she can’t forget and that stimulated the ruler!”
The explanation made many of the unsuccessful testers dissatisfied, but they were helpless to do anything about it.
Cai Lin opened her eyes, staring blankly at the fourth notch. Her crystal eyes were flashing in confusion.
“Congratulations, you have obtained the qualification of the Red Dust Dream,” the Wang Clan Master said.
The Mistress of the Greatest Saint Lady Temple could not contain her happiness. Cai Lin belonged to Saint Lady, which is the same as her belonging to the Greatest Saint Lady Temple.
Out of the quota of four, they had unexpectedly claimed two of the spots.
Despite the dissatisfaction of the Lord of the Holy Saint Temple, he said, “Since it is completed, then let’s proceed!”
Cai Lin looked at Su Yu, who had his eyes closed, and said, “Isn’t there still Su Yu?”
Hearing that, the already irritated Lord of the Holy Saint Temple said, “The fact that you successfully qualify is already one in a billion. He has not reached the level of the deities, his spiritual energy is too low. It would be impossible for him to activate the ruler!”
Cai Lin’s eyes flashed with a hint of sarcasm. ” I advise the Lord to hold back his words. There is not much in this world that is impossible for him.”
The Lord of the Holy Saint Temple shook his head and said, “A summer insect cannot discuss winter with me!”
After that, the Lord of the Holy Saint Temple said, “Wang Clan Master, let us not delay any longer. We don’t have the time to waste on Su Yu. If he can’t activate the ruler now, it means we have to wait for him the whole day. Let us start the spiritual communication and not bother about Su Yu for the time being.”
The Wang Clan Master looked at Su Yu and shook his head. Generally speaking, the longer it dragged out, the lower the probability of activating the ruler.
The probability of Su Yu failing was about ninety percent. He was barely holding up.
“Speed is paramount in war and we really can’t delay any longer.” The Wang Clan Master took out three pink pills and handed them to Xueyi, Zeng Lin, and Cai Lin. “After swallowing them, you will be able to enter the dream of a person who you had met more than once, but that the person must be in a dream! ”
The three of them nodded. What they needed to enter was, of course, the dream of someone in Fan Capital.
Xueyi and Cai Lin had their own people in the Fan Capital. To enter their dreams and ask about the Fan Capital couldn’t be easier.
The two women each took the pill and swallowed it immediately. In front of everyone, they fell into a deep sleep and laid down quietly inside the hall.
Zeng Lin followed. He swallowed the pill and soon fell into a deep sleep.
On top of their three heads, floated a faint layer of pink mist, with varying depths and form.
Soon, the mist above Xueyi’s head churned slightly and began to transform.
The Wang Clan Master said with joy, “Success! This is a symbol of her entering someone’s dream!”
At this time, Cai Lin and Zeng Lin also entered the dreams of others.
Upon seeing this, those present were visibly relieved.
“When they wake up from their dreams, they will give us the information they have gathered,” the clan chief said reassuringly.
Someone asked with curiosity, “What if they don’t wake up?”
That person was scolded by the elders. “What nonsense are you spouting? Wang Clan Master, this child does not know what he is saying. Please forgive him.”
The Wang Clan Master smiled generously, “It’s okay! As long as they desire to wake up from the dream, they can do so at any time. There will not be a situation where they can’t wake up!”
“What if an external force wakes them up?” The young man asked.
Wang Clan Master’s face became stern, his robe sleeves swayed continuously, and three wizard forces were summoned to isolate the sleeping trio. He said, “Never interfere with external forces, otherwise, they will permanently lose a part of their spiritual power!”
“What does that mean?”
The Wang Clan Master said solemnly, “It means that they will stay in the dreams forever and never wake up!”
After hearing his words, the people present were startled and muttered softly to themselves. They did not dare to raise their voices again.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tenser, and the Wang Clan Master smiled, “Don’t worry, ordinary interference will not affect them. Furthermore, we are all here so external forces would not be able to wake them up.”
After his explanation, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
The Spirit Wizard was also relieved and said, “I can finally not worry too much. When the three of them wake up, we shall compile and compare the information from all three parties. Then, we should be able to get a more comprehensive picture of the situation at Fan Capital. ”
The Lord of the Holy Saint Temple agreed, “Yes, three messages from different dreams should be comprehensive enough to determine the situation. ”
Looking at the three of them, and then at Su Yu who was still trying to cross the notch, the Lord of the Holy Saint Temple chuckled and said, “During key moments, it is still better to rely on our own people! I think we should wake up Su Yu. The three of them are enough, we do not need him.”
The Wang Clan Master had similar intentions. It was meaningless for Su Yu to try and succeed. Soon, the three of them would get the information they needed.
“Eh, Wang Clan Master, why is there a black thing in the mist above Zeng Lin’s head?” Again it was the curious teenager who had already asked lots of questions. He was keenly aware of what was happening to Zeng Lin.
The Wang Clan Master was stunned and looked at Zeng Lin. He saw that the pink mist above his head was gradually filled with a layer of black mist, causing the pink mist to slowly become muddied.
His eyes flashed with horror and he came over and said, “How could this be?”
The Lord of the Holy Saint Temple was in shock and said, “Is the medicine the problem?”
“No, it’s not the medicine, but he is in danger in the dream!” The Wang Clan Master said, “I told you that stepping into the dreams of others is essentially a communication at the spirit level. If you got hurt in other people’s dreams, your own body could be vulnerable! ”
“The black mist is a sign of being hurt!”
After hearing what he said, everyone was startled. What had happened to him and why was he hurt?
“Ah! Look! There are black threads in the mist above Xueyi’s head!” Some sharp people had noticed the abnormality.
Before the Wang Clan Master had turned to look, there was another exclaimer in his ear, “Cai Lin too!”
At a glance, the black mist appeared on the top of the trio’s heads!
“What happened to them, how could all three be hurt?” A moment ago everyone was happy, but now the room was again filled with nervous tension.
