Chapter 74 True meaning takes shape
The ghostly phantom formed from the Nightmare Demon Mark darted around in Jiang Chen's sea of consciousness, finally stopping in front of his soul. It took a deep breath and a look of ecstasy appeared on its face.
Then it opened its mouth and bit down, seemingly wanting to swallow Jiang Chen's soul whole.
At this moment, Jiang Chen did not feel afraid, but a sense of fear arose in his heart, and his entire soul trembled.
Just as he was about to dodge, he saw the Dream Butterfly painting in front of him emit a ghostly blue light.
Numerous rays of light converged into the nascent form of Jiang Chen's true intent, and in the blink of an eye, the luminous nascent form of true intent instantly transformed into a butterfly phantom.
The butterfly phantom fluttered its wings slightly, and the ghostly phantom formed from the Nightmare Demon Mark was frozen in place.
The fear in Jiang Chen's heart vanished in an instant.
The ghostly phantom struggled incessantly, seemingly trying to break free from the suppression.
The butterfly, formed from true intention, landed on the head of the ghostly phantom, extended its long proboscis, and pierced into the ghostly phantom's body.
Subsequently, the black energy within the ghostly phantom was continuously absorbed by the butterfly, causing the ghostly phantom to become increasingly thin.
In just a few breaths, the ghostly phantom was completely drained.
Jiang Chen looked at the butterfly formed from his true intent, which was clearly much more solid than before.
Upon closer inspection, a small Nightmare Demon Mark could be found on the right wing of this butterfly phantom.
Without careful observation, it would be impossible to notice.
He was puzzled: "This situation is a bit strange! Have I succeeded in my cultivation, or failed?"
The jade slip recorded the experiences and lessons learned by Master Yuanfu and several disciples of the Talisman Hall, but this situation was not mentioned!
"Fine, I'll try using the Nightmare Bewitching Technique and see what happens."
Thinking of this, he immediately activated the Nightmare Bewitching Mind Technique and struck the wall.
The butterfly wings formed from the true meaning fluttered gently, and the Nightmare Demon Mark shone brightly, transforming back into a ghostly phantom and spitting out a stream of black light.
At the same time, a black streak of light suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Chen's body and shot towards the wall.
Upon closer inspection, one can also discover a ghostly phantom hidden within the black mist.
puff~~
After a soft sound, the black light completely dissipated without causing any damage to the wall.
With a thought, the ghostly phantoms in his sea of consciousness transformed back into the Nightmare Demon Mark and returned to the wings of the True Meaning Butterfly.
Jiang Chen showed no sign of frustration; instead, his face was full of smiles.
"It actually worked! Just now, when I used the Nightmare Bewitching Mind Technique to attack, it actually released a black stream of light that attacked the wall."
I'm currently in a dream simulation, and I can even use this technique. Doesn't this mean that I can use this move to deal with enemies whenever I enter a dream simulation of the future?
If I succeed, I will be able to use this technique to peer into the secrets deep within their memories, and even obtain their cultivation methods and secret arts.
"I have now mastered the Nightmare Bewitching Mind Technique, but as for its power, it's hard to say yet."
After all, this kind of spiritual attack is only effective against beings with consciousness. It would naturally have no effect on a wall made of black iron.
To test the power of this technique, I'd need a living person. If the opportunity arises, I could even attack a direct descendant in a dream; perhaps I could obtain some valuable inheritance.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen immediately ended the simulation and returned to reality.
-----------------
At this time, the real world is still fifteen days before Jiang Chen left Blackstone Mountain Market.
Jiang Chen opened his eyes, let out a long sigh, and thought to himself: "This dream-entry was a great success."
Not only did they successfully escape the Black Stone Society's pursuit, but they also evaded the suppression of the Golden Cauldron Sect's direct descendants, and obtained the coveted [Nightmare Bewitching Mind Technique].
"By the way, I've already mastered the [Nightmare Bewitching Mind Technique] in my dream. I wonder if the results of cultivating this spell have carried over into reality."
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen immediately immersed his mind in his sea of consciousness.
In an instant, everything went black. Besides the Dream Butterfly Diagram, a faint blue light also swirled around Jiang Chen's soul.
Occasionally, this stream of light would coalesce into the phantom of a butterfly, before dispersing again.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen sighed: "As expected, changes in dreams cannot directly affect reality."
When I entered the dream before, I used the power of the Dream Butterfly Diagram to condense the complete true meaning, and also subdued the Nightmare Demon Mark.
Now that we've left the dream realm, the true meaning is still in its nascent stage, and the Nightmare Demon Mark doesn't yet exist.
"However, if I could successfully cultivate the Nightmare Bewitching Mind Technique in my dream, I can certainly do it in reality as well."
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen immediately began to cultivate the Nightmare Bewitching Mind Technique.
Having learned from his dream, his cultivation speed was extremely fast this time. In just half an hour, the Nightmare Demon Mark was formed.
Just like in the dream, the Nightmare Mark had barely taken shape when it transformed into a ghostly phantom and even attempted to attack Jiang Chen's soul.
Then, the Dream Butterfly Painting emitted a faint blue light, merging into the embryonic form of true meaning.
The true meaning took shape instantly and devoured the Nightmare Demon Mark.
The true essence of the dark blue butterfly hovered around Jiang Chen's soul, its form extremely stable, showing no sign of transforming back into flowing light.
At this moment, Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief: "The true meaning has been formed, and the Nightmare Demon Bewitching Technique has also been successfully cultivated."
Moreover, with the Nightmare Demon Mark integrated into its true meaning, its effects will undoubtedly be amplified.
"As for its specific power, we'll have to test it to know. Next time I enter a dream, I need to find a suitable target to test the power of this Nightmare Bewitching Technique."
Then, he thought of making the True Meaning Butterfly stop flying, and the butterfly immediately stopped flying and hovered in front of him.
"As easily as using my own arm, this butterfly truly represents my intentions."
Just now, the Dream Butterfly Diagram released a dark blue light, allowing my true intent to take shape and subdue the Nightmare Demon Mark. This must have consumed energy.
I wonder how much energy the Dream Butterfly has consumed? Am I still able to enter a dream state?
Thinking of this, he immediately began to examine the Dream Butterfly Painting.
……
Number of Dream Butterflies: 1
[First Dream Butterfly Energy: 0%, Second Dream Butterfly Energy: 1%, Third Dream Butterfly Energy: 100%]
[Current number of dream visits: 1/3]
[The maximum time limit for simulating the future in a dream: ten days and five hours (affected by the total amount of spiritual consciousness)]
After sorting through the information, Jiang Chen immediately noticed something was wrong.
"Seventeen days have passed since I entered this dream, and the seventeenth day is not yet over."
The first Dream Butterfly should have exhausted its energy, but the second Dream Butterfly should still have more than 20% of its energy remaining.
But now the second Dream Butterfly's energy is also exhausted. It seems that the Dream Butterfly Diagram's release of the ghostly blue light to help my true intent take shape and subdue the Nightmare Demon Mark consumed Dream Butterfly energy.
"However, the energy consumed wasn't much, only about 20%. Without relying on the energy of the Taiyin Jade Marrow, a few hours of meditation would be enough to fully recover."
"This time, I successfully survived the Black Stone Society's ambush and escaped the suppression from the direct line faction."
If you follow the path described in your dream, you will arrive at the Talisman Hall safely and settle down temporarily.
After that, when entering dreams again, there's no need to use the Lunar Jade Marrow daily to restore the Dream Butterfly's energy. Simply entering dreams step-by-step to simulate the future and incidentally practicing magic is sufficient.
"This seventeen-day dream journey used up two of my dream-entry opportunities, and I have one left."
Now I can enter the dream again and test the power of the Nightmare Bewitching Technique.
