Chapter 260: 260. Preparing to Dream (I)

The pagoda tower they arrived at was for housing the top rankers of the Monster Fighting Competition and their masters. It was named Small Wind Pagoda but it was by no means small. The interior was massive, with open halls and countless rooms.

Chen Wentian showed the attendants the invitation letter in the envelope that the immortal lady Su Tan had given him. There were other participants of the competition around the lobby area and the hallways but he ignored them. He wasn’t looking pointless conflict.

The attendant led his party down several flights of stairs and finally to their suite. It was huge and took up a big portion of the floor they were on.

They went inside and settled in since they would be here for a couple of months. Various chests containing clothes, accessories, and even snacks were drawn out. His disciples fussed over their makeup, their outfits, or chatted among themselves.

Chen Wentian let them be and went to the balcony that overlooked the city. Here, at the center of the capital, many flying boats were zipping around the tall towers. There also a few immortals here and there. A few of them even looked in his direction, sensing his presence, but ignored him soon after as he was merely a Spirit Lord and pretty much a nobody.

The Eastern Sanmu Metropolis was the haven for those in power and those that were connected to them. It wasn’t an easy place for an immortal like him who was independent. Almost all Spirit Lords here had a Spirit King they were affiliated with. He only really knew Immortal Gentle Lotus Gong Liyun but she was merely an occasional acquaintance. She was too strong and dangerous for anything else.

He hoped that the trip would be uneventful but he knew this was not the intention of the Immortal Association. The association wanted to constantly develop more human immortals and galvanize the younger generation. For this, many activities had been prepared that were sure to cause a lot of troubling situations.

“Master?” Li Yuechan called to him.

“Yeah, coming.”

He went back in to see them all gathered in the main area of the suite. They had changed into a fresh set of clothes and gotten rid of their veils. It was simply to make sure none of them stood out during the trip so that they would not be ogled while traveling here.

“The award ceremony will be tomorrow. Qianyu and Yifei are in the top ten so they will be gone for a certain amount of time afterward due to the dream array reward. The reward for others in the top one hundred is rather unique. They didn’t provide a lot of details for it to be a surprise but I was still able to make some guesses. It won’t be a straightforward award but another set of competitions. You girls should continue to study the city map. Ziyun has also prepared some additional material for the five of you.”

He then beckoned to Wu Qianyu and Long Yifei, “Come with me.”

“Yes, master.”

They went into a side room where there were some lounge chairs and sat down. Long Yifei had changed back into her customary white dress and looked perfect like a snowy fairy, like she always did. Wu Qianyu’s dress was more casual, a thin and loose practice gown that hung off of her shoulders and draped over her large breasts and pointed nipples.

Chen Wentian gulped and suppressed his rising desires. The moment wasn’t right and he had to prepare them for tomorrow.

“The prize for the top ten is Immortal Gentle Lotus Gong Liyun’s dream array. That fact has not changed. The tenth place starts at one month of allotted time while the first place has two months. Like I’ve said before, the thing with dreams is that they are not real but also real at the same time. It’s a Dao that allows one to experience lies and truths at the same time. A dream is whatever you make of it, it can last an instant and be forgotten or it can last a very long and you remember almost everything.”

“You can explore regrets and triumphs or relive failures. You can use it to put demons of the past to rest so you can dream of a daring future, with everything you ever wished for. Use it to achieve clarity of the body, mind, and spirit. You can then dream about your immortal Dao and seek the path that is the most suitable for you.”

“For the remaining time, I want both of you to meditate and prepare yourself to dream. Think about what you want to dream about, what you want and desire. This way, you will be in the most heightened state when you enter the array and it will be the most effective.”

“Yes, master.”

Wu Qianyu and Long Yifei went into separate rooms. The dream array was a valuable prize but it was only valuable for those that were prepared. It had the possibility of greatly raising a person’s cultivation but it could also be useless.

A few hours later, it was Wu Qianyu who unexpectedly sought him out. She was sitting at the foot of the bed, in an even thinner nightgown. There was blush creeping up her neck and her cheeks and she did not meet his eye.

He sat down next to her and hugged her waist, “Qianyu, love, what’s wrong?”

“… I…” She mumbled softly and buried her face into his chest.

“Come on, you can tell me.” He asked.

She clung to him and didn’t say anything, forcing him to guess.

“Are you worried about not being able to use the array properly?”

She shook her head.

“Are you worried that Yifei will do better than you?”

“Of course, not!” She said.

“Hahaha! Okay, okay. My dear Qianyu is not that type of girl. She is gentle and kind and open-hearted.”

He stroked her hair and she snuggled even closer. He made a few more incorrect guesses before had he had a good idea what was up.

“Oh, I know… you are worried about being away from me for so long. Time in the dream array is relative and can be over a year in some cases. You are worried that you will dream of something without me and you’ll miss me?”

She looked up at him. Her eyes became misty and her lips quivered. She didn’t need to say anything, he understood.

He leaned forward and quickly captured her lips. He pushed her down onto the bed, needy and wanting. He wanted her to know that would miss her too, even if it was just for two months.
