Chapter 121 New Functions of the Dream Butterfly Painting

[Day 28 of the Dream]

After three days of hard work, Jiang Chen felt he had gathered enough energy.

The soul withdrew from the Dream Butterfly Diagram, and its true meaning flew out with it.

At this moment, a faint blue light continuously emanated from Mengdie's body.

After these streaks of light detached from the true meaning of the Dream Butterfly, they immediately flew back into the Dream Butterfly painting.

The power of the Dream Butterfly Diagram is too unique for Jiang Chen to extract directly. Although he can draw upon some energy by using the power of the Dream Butterfly's true meaning, it can only be obtained within the Dream Butterfly Diagram.

Once it emerges, the power will dissipate on its own, and it will fly back.

Jiang Chen dared not waste any time and immediately used a secret technique to draw out the energy from Meng Die's body.

Numerous dark blue streams of light converged toward his palm, slowly coalescing into a tiny, sesame-seed-sized dark blue dot.

Soon, the energy absorbed by the Dream Butterfly Diagram was completely exhausted, and the light spot that Jiang Chen condensed grew to the size of a soybean.

The energy inside the true meaning seed surged continuously, eventually condensing into something resembling a seed.

Inside the seed, there was also a tiny, ethereal butterfly, constantly fluttering about.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen was overjoyed: "The Seed of True Meaning has been formed, and the first use has been successful."

Next, all I need to do is fuse this seed of true meaning with the true meaning of the Dream Butterfly, and I should be able to directly activate the power of the Dream Butterfly Diagram.

He immediately activated the true meaning of Dream Butterfly and the seed of supernatural power, and the two became closely intertwined.

Then, strands of dark blue light intertwined and formed a cocoon, enveloping the Dream Butterfly and the newly formed Seed of True Meaning.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen remained calm and waited quietly for the seed of true meaning to change.

……

[Day 30 of the Dream]

A crack suddenly appeared on the dark blue butterfly cocoon in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Subsequently, the cracks multiplied until the entire cocoon shattered completely.

A pale blue butterfly spread its wings and fluttered around Jiang Chen's soul.

Jiang Chen examined it carefully, trying to see how this butterfly differed from the previous ones.

He looked at it for a long time but couldn't see any difference.

He tried to control Mengdie with his divine sense, and just like before, he could control her with ease.

Subsequently, he attempted to extract energy from the Dream Butterfly Diagram through the true meaning of the Dream Butterfly.

With just a thought, a wisp of dark blue light flew out from the Dream Butterfly Painting and merged into the Dream Butterfly True Meaning.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen excitedly rubbed his hands together: "It's done! I can now actively use the power of the Dream Butterfly Diagram!"

Although the Dream Butterfly Diagram had previously unleashed its power, it only appeared to protect its master when Jiang Chen's soul was in danger.

Jiang Chen had tried many times to directly activate the power of the Dream Butterfly Diagram, but he never succeeded.

Even with the true meaning of Dream Butterfly, one could only mobilize some energy within the Dream Butterfly Diagram.

The situation is different now. The true meaning of Dream Butterfly lies outside of the Dream Butterfly Diagram, yet it can still draw upon the energy within the Dream Butterfly Diagram.

Although it was only a very small amount, it was still a remarkable improvement.

After calming down, Jiang Chen wondered to himself, "I wonder what effect activating the power of the Dream Butterfly Diagram will have?"

He immediately took out a poisonous bee from the spirit beast pouch at his waist.

These poisonous bees were obtained from Yunze Blessed Land and are usually carried with me.

According to Zhang Yaoling, this poisonous bee is called the "Soul-Chasing Bee," and its venom is specifically designed to target the soul, making it extremely deadly.

However, there was no opportunity to use it within the Golden Cauldron Sect.

Then, Jiang Chen revealed the true meaning of Mengdie's dream.

With a gentle flap of its wings, Mengdie Zhenyi scattered countless points of ethereal blue light.

The Soul-Chasing Bee was only touched by the light before it immediately fell to the ground and fainted.

Immediately afterwards, a wisp of gray mist flew out from its body, transforming into a phantom of a Soul-Chasing Bee.

Clearly, this is the soul of the Soul-Chasing Bee.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen was astonished: 'What kind of technique is this? Soul-capturing?'

The soul of the Soul-Chasing Bee did not show any abnormality. Instead, it flew back and forth among the dark blue light spots, as if it were collecting honey.

Jiang Chen was completely bewildered: 'This Soul-Chasing Bee's behavior is strange! It should be painful for the soul to leave the body, so why does this guy seem to be enjoying it?'

Before long, the pale blue light released by Dream Butterfly's true meaning disappeared without a trace, and the Soul-Chasing Bee's soul returned to its physical body as a wisp of gray mist.

Then, the Soul-Chasing Bee took flight again, seemingly unaffected.

Jiang Chen left a mark on the bee and continued to observe it.

[Day 31 of Dreaming]

Jiang Chen observed the Soul-Chasing Bee for a whole day but found nothing unusual.

He thought to himself: 'The soul of that soul-chasing bee left its body and seemed very happy, and then returned to its body without any abnormality.'

From its perspective, this wasn't an out-of-body experience, but rather more like a dream.

"I need to probe into the memories of that soul-chasing bee to see if it dreamed when its soul left its body."

Thinking of this, he immediately used the Nightmare Bewitching Technique on the Soul-Chasing Bee to probe its memories.

A moment later, Jiang Chen gained the memories of the Soul-Chasing Bee.

"As expected, the Soul-Chasing Bee fainted instantly after coming into contact with the ghostly blue light scattered by Dream Butterfly's true meaning."

In its memory, there was no out-of-body experience; it only described gathering honey in a dream.

"This may not seem dangerous, but it is extremely powerful when used against an enemy."

During a magical duel, one could suddenly put their opponent to sleep and even have their soul leave their body.

"Cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage have extremely fragile souls."

Once separated from the protection of the physical body, it is easily and severely injured.

"From now on, when I fight someone, I'll use this move to draw out their soul, then capture them with a soul-suppressing artifact. Then they'll be completely at my mercy."

"The Soul-Chasing Bees are, after all, spirit insects; their souls are relatively fragile. I can't discern the power of this technique. I need to find a few people to test it on."

Thinking of this, he immediately left his small courtyard and headed to the garrison headquarters.

Like the executive officers of the Guard Hall, the Garrison Command has great power, but its work is also very complicated.

For example, the prison in Changyuan Hall was under the jurisdiction of the Garrison Command.

He had already become a familiar face when he came before.

Upon arriving at the garrison headquarters, he soon met Jian Zhao.

Upon seeing him enter, Jian Zhao immediately asked, "Junior Brother Jiang is such a busy man, what brings you here to see me today?"

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "There's something I'd like to ask Senior Brother Jian for a favor."

Upon hearing that he had something to ask, Jian Zhao's face lit up with joy: "No problem, Junior Brother Jiang, it's not easy for you to ask. As long as it's within my power, I will definitely help you."

Jiang Chen waved his hand: "It's not that serious. It's just that I recently started practicing a secret technique."

I tried it with spirit insects before, and the results were quite good. I want to see how powerful this secret technique is.

"The garrison command is in charge of the prisons, and I want to try my methods on those prisoners."

If all goes well, I might even be able to help you uncover some classified information, senior brother.

Upon hearing this, Jian Zhao's eyes lit up.

"If you have this ability, you should have said so earlier! I have a bunch of tough guys in my prison, and they're not afraid of torture at all."

Especially the disciples of the Ghostly Soul Sect, who understand souls too well, make it difficult for them to be effective using soul-searching techniques.

I'm out of options. I can only keep them around for now and trade them for some benefits after the war is over.

"If you can use secret techniques to uncover some intelligence, I will personally recommend you for credit."
