Carefree Path of Dreams

Chapter 346: Witchcraft

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

In the Ancient World, deep at night in the wilderness.

A huge monkey was crawling about. It had long arms and legs and was covered in black fur. However, its eyes were darting about actively. A glowing essence from the moon started to descend, turning its fur white. Suddenly, an opening appeared on its forehead as it formed a third eye!

Average monkey could only at most attain spirituality. However, in a single night, this monkey had become a demon!

"Ah... I've become a demon. This is interesting and weird!"

The monkey scratched his ears and groaned like a human, as though it was depressed.

"You're lucky to be able to possess a monkey. At least there are some similarities..."

Beside him, there was a silver flash. A white fox with 3 tails appeared and it was as though it was dragging along 3 streaks of silver glow. "Those who would possess pigs, horses, cows or even goats would be the most unfortunate. I've seen someone possessing a pig that was about to be butchered and was killed before he could cultivate anything. That's the worse!"

"Hey! No one would have a say in this..."

The 3 Eyed Monkey shook its head. "The Sage of Realm Alliance has already possessed the human dao and put in place the 9 cauldrons. Therefore, we will be going against the trend of this realm. Anything we do will have consequences and fate energy will be going against us!"

"That is not entirely true!"

The 3 Tailed Spiritual Fox started to sound mysterious. "If the Sage can possess the heavenly dao, then we will have no place here. But now, the Realm Alliance only possessed the majority of the people dao and is recognised by the heavenly trend. Therefore, we still have our chance! As for the lack of fate energy, as long as we cultivate ourselves and strengthened up, we will be able to use our physical body to go against fate energy!"

"That's true..."

The 3 Eyed Monkey started to laugh. "Since the Realm Alliance now possesses the people dao, we must create natural disasters and tribulations to destroy their foundation!"

The consciousness of the realm could be classified into two, namely the people dao and the heavenly dao.

Although the people dao could make decisions on its own, it still had to follow the heavenly dao to a certain extent.

The Sage of Realm Alliance had used his identity as the King of Xia to preach to thousands of people. Therefore, he had possessed a majority of the people dao. Only with such a possession could he influence part of the heavenly dao.

However, heavenly dao is still too vast! Therefore, the Sage was unable to totally restrict dream masters from entering.

If the people dao was destroyed, especially the Xia Tribe, then his influence would be reduced by more than half.

"If the Sage is still here, then we wouldn't even dare to set foot here. However, he has long passed on. King Xi is nothing and our leader will deal with him..."

The 3 Tailed Spiritual Fox started to giggle. "Furthermore, our head has already made arrangements. Even if we lose, we will still manage to plant our spies among them. If we really manipulated the people dao to affect the heavenly dao, do you think there will be no consequences?"

"What is our mission?"

The monkey crossed its legs and sat down, striking an uncanny resemblance of a human.

"Firstly, we have to free the body of the two leaders, which were sealed years ago!"

The 3 Tailed Spiritual Fox spat out a streak of light, which transformed into a huge screen and displayed an image.

It was the image of an underwater location. From a dim glow emitting from a huge black figure, they could vaguely see a ferocious monkey with golden eyes, a white head and a green body. It had golden bells strung on its nose and was restrained by thick and heavy chains.

"This was the final body which our Leader had possessed. After his plan to stop Xia had failed, he could only preserve his own body. Now, he has authorised us to use it. After all, it is something left behind by a dream master in the 7th Tier of the Illusionary Divine stage. Even if we are weak, we can still hold up for quite some time with its assistance!"

The 3 Tailed Spiritual Fox let out a cunning laugh.

"Great... This is great!"

The monkey started to scratch his ears happily. "This is a powerful demon's body and will be much better than his monkey!"

"I'm sorry, it's not for you!"

The 3 Tailed Spiritual Fox shook its head. "This is my mission. Your mission is to enter the mountains to search for the descendants of the Jiuli Division!"

"You mean... the people of Wu?"

The monkey seemed a little unwilling at first, followed by a worried look.

"Indeed... In reality, they should be the people of this realm. However, due to the fact that the Sage had descended and changed the fate of the realm... The people of Wu still have the protection of the heavens and therefore will not go extinct. To fight with the Realm Alliance in this realm, we will have to make use of the fate of the Wu!"

"The descendants of the ancient army leader, Chi?"

The monkey laughed. "The witchcraft dao aims to strengthen one's physical body and harness the power in the blood to release power capable of controlling the element. The army leader, Chi, fought with the Sage. Even though the Sage was not a Sage at that time, this was enough to prove their might! Alright, I'll go!"

He was rather interested in the mysterious and weird witchcraft dao.

"Considering that we have called in reinforcements, the Realm Alliance will be likely to do so as well. Be careful..."

The 3 Tailed Spiritual Fox's voice could still be heard, but both of them were long gone.

...

Division Leader Yang personally sent them off. "Yuan! You are the bravest warrior in our division. Give your best to King Xi!"

"I will!"

Fang Yuan carried a cloth bag, changed a new sword and gave his promise respectfully.

Xia Qi gave an excuse to manage the rivers to request the Yang Tribe to sent people to provide assistance. Of course, Yang would not reject his request and sent 10 of his strongest warriors, with Fang Yuan as their leader.

Something worth mentioning was that the lady, Wei, was among the 10 being sent off.

"To rectify the problem of flooding, the crux lies in making the water flow smoothly in the river. Therefore, we will have to deal with the powerful demons living in the water..."

Xia Qi had a graceful demeanour as he briefed them.

Fang Yuan acted as though he was listening intently. However, in reality, he was thinking to himself. 'What can I gain... from this world?'

Although the Realm Alliance would reward him for the mission, Fang Yuan was not enticed by it.

Every realm is a treasure in itself! Even if it might have been harvested before, there will still be valuables that Fang Yuan could reap.

'To preach to the people dao and become king... Sage has already done all of these. It is not practical for me to do it again, and I would make myself too high profile! This is courting death! I'll have to give this thought up!'

'Other than that, this realm has a unique system of cultivation. I can borrow this idea! Also, I can actualise treasures from this realm...'

The Realm Alliance had already done enough research regarding this realm.

'The last thing would be spirits and bloodline...'

This realm was still ancient and gods might have lived with them. Even in the most average person, there might be the blood of mysterious beasts or gods, which would strengthen them or awaken any special ability that they could potentially have. They might also be able to change their appearances, which was an extremely useful ability to have.

Through the research done by the Realm Alliance, they realised that energy from such a bloodline could be purified and brought into one's actualised dream world. To a certain extent, this would also be possible for the souls of certain powerful demons!

"Of course... this is the cycle of the heavenly dao and there would be retribution...In order for me to take something from this world, I must contribute something. This is the true meaning of karma!"

Although this world was not based on karma and one would not be able to directly benefit from gaining people dao karma and heavenly karma, indirect results could still be seen from one's actions.

"Of course... Even if the realm's consciousness is not awakened, it can still control the realm subconsciously and will not allow any random dream master to enter and remove treasures from it... How different is this from robbery? There would surely be tribulations!"

"Therefore, if I want any treasure, I must find a geographically advantageous location and get the protection from the heavens. From there, I will have to trade for the treasure with my contributions to the realm... Of course, I can try snatching it by brute force, but whether I will be successful or not depends on my ability and luck. If I am unlucky, I will be struck by lightning and my soul might even be destroyed!"

Even a Sage could not be stronger than an entire world. If he were to go against the realm, he would surely be severely injured.

"To follow the heavenly dao and observe. This must be what the Sage has done..."

Fang Yuan mumbled to himself before sending a message to Xia Qi. "How's the energy system in this realm?"

"Extremely powerful!"

Xia Qi's eyes appeared solemn. "Have you realised it too? The quality of our physical bodies here is better than our own bodies back in Da Qian... Among the people here, there is another type of energy, called 'Witchcraft'. It is a method to bring out the fullest potential of one's body and discover one's bloodline. An example of a successful person is the army leader, Chi. He was able to go against our sage and even survive without a head for 7 days!"

"Other than that, there is also the existence of demons. Any types of spirits can become demons and their powers are extraordinary. There are also many spiritual treasures scattered around the realm, and all of their abilities are out of this world!"

"As for the god dao, although the people here believe in a god, they have never encountered one. Therefore, this is most probably an effect of the heavenly dao on them..."

"Witchcraft? To ring out the fullest potential of one's body? The powers of a bloodline?"

Fang Yuan was struck with curiosity.

He also had a technique to train his physical body and therefore, he could benefit from both.

Of course, more importantly, he was in another world now and had to follow the rules of the other world.

"Who knows... I must research the power of witchcraft for myself!"

Looking at the advancing group of people, his eyes glistened.

"Qi! Here's an oracle bone!"

Suddenly, the group stopped moving. A person from the Xia Tribe quickly rushed towards them and presented a tortoise shell. "The people of the tribe have burnt this tortoise shell and predicted that someone has destroyed the seal on Wu Chiqi in the South. He has released the demon and King Xi had ordered for all of you to alter your planned track to stop it!"

"Alright!"

Xia Qi took the oracle bone. It had burnt marks, revealing the cracks on the tortoise shell.

The people here predicted happenings using this method and would record the findings on the oracle bones.

'What in the world...'

Seeing this scene, Fang Yuan was speechless. 'Isn't this just insider information from the Realm Alliance that the Hidden Dragon Guards are here? Why do they have to inform us using these weird tricks?'

Indeed, the next moment, Xia Qi's voice was heard. 'We have a little trouble. The Hidden Dragon Guards are removing the seal on Wu Zhiqi's body. In that body lies the power of a 7th Tier Illusionary Divine stage dream master and it is devastating... From previous patrols, we can confirm that the location of the body is at the Huai River Tortoise Mountain. Let's make our way there to stop them!'
