Chapter 1810: Chapter 2: Time Dream Return Technique and Qi Fortune Golden Pill! Qing Yu Zi Reappears!

"What spell did Mr. Ji create?" Liu Tianning and Cloud Sky Dao both cast curious glances.

"I named it the ’Time Dream Return Technique,’" said Ji Si.

"Time Dream Return Technique?" Liu Tianning and Cloud Sky Dao pondered its meaning. "What kind of effect does it have?"

Emperor Wu immediately said, "Ji Si, why not demonstrate it for them?"

"Alright." Ji Si straightened up and then gestured with his hand, "King Taihe, Brother Yun, Grand Minister of Agriculture, please fall asleep naturally."

Zhao Xing, Liu Tianning, and Cloud Sky Dao immediately complied.

At this level of practice, sleeping was no longer necessary for them, but occasionally taking a nap was more relaxing.

Sleeping and dreaming were things they could consciously control.

The three of them closed their eyes and fell into a deep sleep, and then Ji Si also closed his eyes.

...

Fifteen hundred years ago, the Demon Race domain.

Cloud Sky Dao stood on the Nine Curves Heavenly Ladder leading to the Demon Domain, where the stone steps were covered with frost that hadn’t melted in millennia.

This temporary pass was built relying on the Boundary Mountain, with its main structure cast from Meteorite Iron, and its surface adorned with bronze reliefs filled with suppression runes.

The stars above flickered, but the Heavenly Gang Beidou Formation did not bring Cloud Sky Dao any sense of safety.

Because a lunar eclipse was occurring, and the demon army was hurrying to support, he didn’t have much time left.

He had been in continuous battle for a hundred years, and this was the fifth large-scale attack, but could he really break through and rescue his beloved and Emperor Xia?

Cloud Sky Dao, with a determined gaze, stepped down the stone steps and began to inspect the military camp.

The soldiers wiped arrows with talisman water, battle flags fluttered in the Gang Wind, and the ashes of burning talismans formed a warning totem in the air. The red moon hung high, and the Cloud Sea surged like boiling water, with grass and trees growing in reverse.

The wind swept past the bronze arrow towers of South Origin Demon Suppression Pass, carrying a bone-cutting whistling sound.

Thirty-six dark-colored battle flags fluttered on the castle wall, with the demon suppression talismans drawn in vermilion on the banners igniting ghostly blue flames. The ashes fell on the soldiers’ shoulder armor, congealing into tiny blood-colored frost flowers.

"General, you should rest; your injuries haven’t fully healed yet." An old doctor flew over with a medicine box on his back.

"The Demon Race has already crossed the Seventh Ice Barrier; I can’t rest," Cloud Sky Dao shook his head.

"You must rest and accept treatment," the old doctor insisted. "Otherwise, I can’t give a proper explanation."

"Alright then." Cloud Sky Dao followed the old doctor into the Marching Hall and then lay down.

The old doctor began to use acupuncture on Cloud Sky Dao, silver needles piercing into his head as Cloud Sky Dao began to enter a dream state.

In the dream, he gathered in a quiet room with Zhao Xing, Liu Tianning, Ji Si, and Ji Che.

"Brother Yun, once you wake up, please repeat my actions," Ji Si suddenly said.

"Ji Si? How did I dream of you? Where is this..."

The dream began to fracture.

....

Eighteen hundred years ago, at the Divine Splendor Daoist Academy, the cultivation ground of Lord Qianhua.

"Liu Tianning, are you crazy? The ninth level of the Demon Heart Cave is only for cultivation at the Tao Domain Realm; are you courting death?!"

"Thank you for the advice, senior brother, but I believe I can do it." With a determined look, Liu Tianning strode into the cave.

Heart demons, dreams...

Liu Tianning lay quietly in the dark cave, undergoing the trial of the Demon Heart Cave.

He gathered in a quiet room with Zhao Xing, Cloud Sky Dao, Ji Si, and Ji Che.

"King Taihe, once you wake up, please repeat my actions."

"Ji Si? The Demon Heart Cave is that’s realistic..." Liu Tianning sneered.

......

Jia Chen Pass, inside the Cloud Pavilion.

Ji Si suddenly opened his eyes, and at the same time, Liu Tianning and Cloud Sky Dao also opened their eyes.

Ji Si first glanced at Zhao Xing, then looked toward Cloud Sky Dao and Liu Tianning, saying, "Gentlemen, please carefully recall if I have appeared in your dream."

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of Cloud Sky Dao and Liu Tianning, and then they both nodded.

"Do you remember what I said?"

"I do."

Ji Si didn’t say anything further, merely made a gesture of invitation.

Cloud Sky Dao and Liu Tianning then simultaneously drew a blood mark on their thumbs.

Their actions were identical!

"This is the Time Dream Return Technique," Ji Si explained. "I communicated with you from years ago through the dream."

"What?"

"Is it real?!"

"Indeed it is," Liu Tianning contemplated, "I suddenly recall seeing Mr. Ji in the Demon Cave."

"I can confirm it’s neither a psychic attack nor an illusion realm—it actually happened."

"I am also certain," Cloud Sky Dao said, feeling incredulous, "It was during that treatment just before I attacked the Demon Pass... How many years has it been since then? Truly miraculous!"

"Wait, why hasn’t Zhao Xing woken up yet?" Liu Tianning remarked at the still eyes-closed Zhao Xing.

"I cannot explain why I couldn’t connect or access any of the Grand Minister of Agriculture’s dreams," Ji Si said helplessly. "It seems there are still limitations to my divine skills."

"I’m awake now." Zhao Xing abruptly opened his eyes. "I also dreamt, Ji Si, it’s not your fault."

......

In Zhao Xing’s dreamscape.

Mists swirled, and golden light sparkled.

The light coalesced into a stone platform and two long benches.

Out of the mist walked a figure, and upon seeing clearly, Zhao Xing was somewhat surprised: "Teacher?!"

The person was Qing Yu Zi!

"Sit." Qing Yu Zi, or rather the Qingyu God, reached out for Zhao Xing to sit down.

"Yes." Zhao Xing obediently sat down.

"Teacher, why are you appearing in my dream?"

"If you could behave yourself, I wouldn’t need to suddenly appear," Qing Yu Zi huffed.

"I’m misbehaving?" Zhao Xing was puzzled. "I don’t understand what this means?"

"You’ve moved Ancient Doctor Tianchen and Emperor Ling Yuan to the Si Yue Desolate Domain; what major thing are you planning?" asked Qing Yu Zi.
