Chapter 548: Chapter 66: Gate of the Dream Realm_2

However, this battle brought no small gains to Li Fei.

The Evil Qi of the Imperial Camp Army was a combination of Mind Power and Void Thought, and the exchange had enlightened Li Fei on many things, proving very helpful to his cultivation of Lin Tianyi’s notes.

Moreover, the high-quality energy of the Evil Qi formed by the Military Formation of the Imperial Camp Army was even more potent than the Tao Power of a Tao Foundation Stage expert. This significantly increased the ‘progress bar’ for the Myriad Blood Pearl’s upgrade.

Li Fei took the poison he concocted daily to boost the Energy Value of the Myriad Blood Pearl. Currently, the progress increased by about 30% each month.

With the energy from the battles, the Energy Value of the Myriad Blood Pearl had reached level 21, 67%.

Li Fei’s final gain was the stimulation of the Implant.

The [Flame Core] had not yet activated its Core Level Extraordinary Ability, but after this battle, Li Fei felt that the [Flame Core] became much more active and started showing subtle changes.

According to past experience, this was a precursor to the activation of a Core Level Extraordinary Ability!

“If I could engage in one or two more battles of this intensity, I should be able to activate the Core Level Extraordinary Ability.”

Li Fei thought to himself.

Just one [Ghostly Shadow] had substantially improved his combat power, so he was very much looking forward to his third Core Level Extraordinary Ability.

After several hours of meditation to replenish the consumed Innate Qi, Li Fei transformed his Spiritual Power into Void Thought and took out the Dream Command from his bosom.

He had already reached the Late Stage of Divine Transformation, theoretically capable of making a Breakthrough to the Possession Stage and becoming a Great Mage.

There were several keys to transitioning from Divine Transformation Stage to Possession Stage:

First, the Void Thought must be powerful and refined enough; otherwise, it would be insufficient to remotely control an external Implant.

Second, one must prepare materials for refining magical tools.

Third, one must prepare an Implant to refine into a magical tool.

Li Fei’s Void Thought was already powerful enough to meet the Breakthrough requirements, and he already had a ready-made Magic Artifact–the Dream Command.

Thus, he already satisfied the requirements for a Breakthrough. The next step was to continuously devote himself to Sacrificial Training of the Dream Command, allowing his Void Thought to become utterly familiar with this Magic Artifact.

Once he could resonate with the Dream Command, enabling his Void Thought to output more efficiently and also stimulating stronger powers from the Dream Command, it would be considered a true Breakthrough to the Possession Stage.

Possession Stage is a dual achievement; both the person and the Magic Artifact become amplified.

Using an existing Magic Artifact to Breakthrough to Possession Stage is a shortcut, but it also makes the ‘resonance’ process more difficult, as this Magic Artifact wasn’t developed step by step by oneself.

Conversely, starting from scratch to refine a brand new Magic Artifact would indeed make the ‘resonance’ easier, but the process itself takes a lot of time, and the challenge of cultivating an Implant in the tool is much greater than that within the human body.

Consequently, these two methods of Breakthrough have no absolute superiority; it depends on which is more suitable for the individual.

Li Fei already possessed a True One Magical Artifact and had no reason to abandon such a powerful tool to start refining a new one, so he decisively chose the first method of Breakthrough.

After breaking through to Late Stage of Divine Transformation, he had focused on ‘Dream Interpretation’, and then the Daluo Sect’s revolt occurred.

Now, finally having some free time, he could study the Dream Command in depth.

This True One Magical Artifact not only helped Li Fei accelerate his cultivation but also had a crucial function–opening the Gate of Dream Realm!

The ‘Dream Realm’ was a concept proposed by the founder of the Nightmare Sect.

He believed that, corresponding to the real world, there existed an illusory world.

This illusionary world consists of everyone’s subconscious.

The founder surmised that everyone’s dreams are visualizations of their subconscious and that connections can form between individual dreams in that vast subconscious ocean.

He defined this sea of subconsciousness, that contained the subconscious of all beings in the world, as the ‘Dream Realm!’

Based on this theory, the founder of the Nightmare Sect invented a series of Magics related to dreams, among which the most central and legendary was the ‘Gate of Dream Realm.’

The ‘Gate of Dream Realm’ Skill allowed Magicians to open the gateway into the Dream Realm, thereby allowing one to journey through the sea of subconsciousness!

To perform this Skill, one must possess at least the Cultivation of the Possession Stage.

And to safely explore the Dream Realm without getting completely lost in that sea, one would need at least the Cultivation of a True Master.

The Dream Command allowed Li Fei to perform ‘Gate of Dream Realm’ earlier than usual, and the Dream Command itself was the best vessel for traversing the sea of subconsciousness.

This is the true value of the True One Magical Artifact.

After Li Fei’s Breakthrough to the Late Stage of Divine Transformation with [Illusion Leaf], he finally met the minimum requirements for performing ‘Gate of Dream Realm.’

This meant that he could explore the Dream Realm using the Dream Command.

Continuously infusing Void Thought into the Dream Command, Li Fei then activated the Taoist Technique imprinted within his Void Thought.

During the Mid Stage of Divine Transformation, one could imprint Taoist Techniques into Void Thought, and the Late Stage could enhance them. Besides the ‘Dream Control Skill,’ Li Fei’s second imprinted and enhanced Technique was ‘Gate of Dream Realm.’

With sufficient Void Thought injected into the Dream Command, Li Fei activated the ‘Gate of Dream Realm’ imprinted upon his Void Thought.

In the next instant, the scenery before him completely changed:

There was no room, no Chong City, no sky, and no earth.
