Taoist world

Although Jiang Yun already knew that the reason why the nightmare beast was able to create creatures like himself in the dream realm had a lot to do with his master, he still felt a little weird when he heard that the master and the nightmare beast came together.

Especially four days ago, when the master left the master, he didn't say anything to him. However, now he is with the nightmare beast and has something to do with him.

"What could it be?"

With this doubt, Jiang Yun did not dare to neglect, and hurried over according to the wave of aura specially sent by the nightmare beast.

At the border between the dream realm and the illusion realm, Jiang Yun saw his master sitting cross-legged in the darkness, as well as a vague black figure.

"Master!"

As Jiang Yun spoke, Gu Bu Lao, who had always had his eyes closed, opened his eyes.

However, he did not pay attention to Jiang Yun, but first looked at the dark figure beside him.

Immediately afterwards, countless black tentacles stretched out from the black shadow's body, like hair, and wildly expanded towards the surroundings.

Seeing some black tentacles passing by him, Jiang Yun's expression couldn't help but change slightly.

Because, he could clearly feel that the aura emitted by each tentacle contained terrifying power, which he could not bear.

"Is this the true strength of the Nightmare Beast?"

Although he was shocked by the strength of the nightmare beast, Jiang Yun was even more confused about what the nightmare beast was doing now! But Gu Bulao still sat there cross-legged, not making the slightest move.

Jiang Yun could only look at those black tentacles, constantly surrounding himself, his master, and the nightmare beast.

Every time the tentacles circle around, the pressure Jiang Yun feels increases by one point.

Just like this, after a full moment passed, the tentacles of the nightmare beast circled at least ten times before stopping.

At this moment, Jiang Yun was already in an area with a radius of about ten feet, completely covered by the tentacles of the nightmare beast.

Being in this area, Jiang Yun felt like he was trapped in a cage, and even his breathing became rapid.

In fact, he had to use all his strength to barely resist the heavy feeling that was constantly piling up on his body like a tide.

However, it's not over yet! Gu Bulao suddenly raised his hand and slapped his forehead heavily.

The next moment, there was a strong aura emanating from Gu Bu Lao's body, which also covered the surroundings and attached to the tentacles of the nightmare beast.

Just now, Jiang Yun just felt that it was difficult to breathe and was under heavy pressure, but now his whole body seemed to be tightly held by an invisible hand, unable to move.

If it weren't for his extreme trust in his master, Jiang Yun couldn't help but suspect that his master and the Nightmare Beast were teaming up to kill him.

Fortunately, at this time, Gu Bulao finally turned to look at Jiang Yun, with a smile on his face and said: "Your strength has indeed increased a lot."

After the words fell, Gu Bulao stretched out his hand and waved lightly towards Jiang Yun. Jiang Yun suddenly felt that all the pressure and restraint on his body immediately dissipated.

Jiang Yun gasped for air with a sense of relief he had never experienced before, and looked up at his master in confusion.

Gu Bulao smiled again and said: "We do this to prevent anyone from hearing our next conversation!"

The master's words made Jiang Yun's pupils suddenly shrink! In front of him, one is the master of the true emperor, and the other is a nightmare beast that is at least comparable to the false emperor.

The place where he is is another dreamland opened up by the nightmare beast.

This is the absolute territory of the Nightmare Beast.

However, under such circumstances, the master and the nightmare beast actually worked together to create such an area ten feet in size.

The purpose is to prevent someone from overhearing the conversation between the three of them! The person they want to guard against is such a terrifying existence.

Gu Bulao obviously knew Jiang Yun's current doubts, and sighed: "Fourth, although you know the truth of many things, what you know is only the truth that others deliberately let you know."

“If you really think you know enough and don’t think you need to explore more unknowns, then you’re doomed!”

Jiang Yun's eyes widened, with an undisguised look of confusion on his face.

He found that he could not understand what his master said at all.

What does it mean that the truth you know is just the truth that others deliberately let you know?

Didn’t all the truths I know have been obtained by myself through various channels?

Some truths are just pieced together based on fragments of clues provided by others! There are even truths that Master told him.

Now, how come all this turned out to be someone deliberately letting him know?

Gu Bulao suppressed the smile on his face and said seriously: "Fourth, do you still remember that I told you why monks in the True Realm are much more powerful than monks in the Dream Realm and the Illusion Realm Realm?"

Jiang Yun still nodded blankly and said: "Remember."

"Because, in the True Realm, the three monks will continue to test all the monks."

"Only by passing all the tests can one be recognized by the three deities, be able to become a great emperor, and be marked by the three deities with their respective rules."

Gu Bulao then asked: "In addition to the heavenly tribulation, what are the tests that True Realm monks have to undergo?"

Jiang Yun also immediately replied: "It's all kinds of things. It may be a sentence they said accidentally, it may be someone they met accidentally, etc."

"good!"

Gu Bulao nodded heavily and said: "I suspect that not only in the real realm, but also in the dream realm, you, me, and some other people will also experience such a test."

"It may be a little inaccurate to say testing. It should be said that it is an arrangement."

"The various experiences you have encountered, every person you have met, and every word you have heard, are actually things that someone deliberately let you see and hear!"

"Some of the conclusions you have deduced and some of the truths you know based on your experiences, even some near-death adventures, are also under the control of others."

"To put it simply, everything you do is following the path that others have arranged for you."

"This is not terrible. What is terrible is that you feel that everything you have obtained is the result of your own efforts!"

At the beginning, these words of the master gave Jiang Yun such a huge impact that he could not accept them at all.

However, as the master spoke more, Jiang Yun gradually calmed down.

Because, what the master said, Jiang Yun once had similar thoughts.

piece! Neither you nor others are just pawns on a chessboard.

Whether he wants to move forward or retreat, he has no control over it at all. It is the chess player who controls everything.

Moreover, there is more than one chessboard! When he was in the Dao Domain, he was Dao Zun's chess piece. When he arrived in the Destruction Domain, he was also the chess piece of the Tiangu clan.

Even in the Ku Realm, he is still the pawn of Ku Lao and others.

The fact that he is a chess piece has never changed.

What has changed is that the chessboard is getting bigger and bigger, and the players who play chess are getting stronger! However, now that I have changed my original future and disrupted the plans of the three masters, am I still on someone else's chessboard?

Jiang Yun calmed down, looked up at his master again and said, "Master, why do you have such doubts?"

Gu Bulao closed his eyes slightly, then quickly opened them again and said, "Before, I lied in front of your master."

"Although I really don't know my true identity, I know the purpose of my coming to Shijingzang and entering the Dream Realm."

Jiang Yun's calm mood just now couldn't help but become nervous again, and he even lowered his voice unconsciously: "What is the purpose?"

Gu Bulao spoke softly, and at the same time, the mysterious man in Jiang Yun also spoke in a voice that only he could hear.

The two people actually said the same two words - break the situation!
