Carefree Path of Dreams

Chapter 336: Meaning in Cultivation

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Dream Realm.

Fang Yuan strolled along the streets of the Dream Realm. The public area formed by the gigantic Kun beast was bustling as always.

Numerous dream masters had a mysterious light shining from them to conceal their body. They walked along the busy streets and gathered at the four-sided stone tablet in the centre to trade or to browse through their missions.

"The dream master who conceptualised and built this Dream Realm is really a genius!"

As Fang Yuan looked at the streets, he sighed and thought, "Absolute power corrupts absolutely! With great power, people would vie for greater authority and status... The Dream Realm enables every dream master in the entire Da Qian to progress rapidly and form groups. Naturally, they would then vie for the absolute power of the whole world! This has nothing to do with being good or evil, it is a natural instinct!"

Although there was a neutral Realm Alliance and a good Baize Mountain within the 5 Grand Organisations, Fang Yuan gained new understandings from the event at Changli Mountain Hollows.

"In the end, doesn’t matter if good or evil, we are all dream masters... Thus, we cannot tolerate betrayers. Just from the way the 5 Grand Organisations publicised about the Hidden Dragon Guards, it can be told that they share the same bitter hatred against the common enemy. If only there weren’t some internal disputes regarding the benefits that couldn’t be resolved, I guess Da Qian would have descended into chaos?"

Fang Yuan went to the Realm Alliance Mountain instead of the public square.

Ever since he received the level of rights, although he could set Realm Alliance Mountain as his main location to be transported to, Fang Yuan still preferred to be transported into the public area.

"After the rank of 4th Leaf Cultivator, one could set a Green Bronze Hall as his location to conduct all sorts of training and experiments..."

In reality, there were still many benefits in joining the Realm Alliance.

The Realm Alliance greatly helped Fang Yuan. Examples included the help he received to fight against the Divine Lotus Cult and also the position of Golden Sun Prosperous Land’s guardian.

"Therefore, I still have to stay in Realm Alliance! Dream masters without an organisation usually do not live for long... especially during such a period where conflicts are becoming more intense!"

Fang Yuan had a premonition that the conflict between dream masters and Da Qian’s royalties were becoming more and more intense, as though it was about to explode!

Perhaps the recent events at Changli Mountain Hollows were merely just a presage and the real tragedies awaited.

As Fang Yuan came near the rock tablet of the Realm Alliance, he found a pavilion and sat down. He then sent a message, "Ye Sisters, I have reached!"

"Please wait a moment, brother Fang Yuan..."

The inscription plate glowed and not before long, the two sisters arrived hand in hand. The elder sister was forthright as usual and sat down immediately. Whereas, the younger sister’s cheeks were slightly red and she was shyly looking around.

"Seems like there’s something wrong, her attitude is different..." Fang Yuan thought for a moment.

He did not care further and then asked, "You contacted me and said you have found the technique?"

"Indeed! Here’s the Red Night 9 Smelting Technique!"

Ye Shuhua took out a blood-red coloured crystal and said, "This technique is created by a dream master at the 7th Tier of Illusionary Divine. It can banish evil forces and is extremely expensive... however, as my family is still rather reputable, it was found in a family friend’s hidden library!"

"Many thanks!"

Fang Yuan received the crystal. As he peeked into the blood-red crystal, he saw a paragraph of wondrous words.

Furthermore, as he compared it to the 9 Smelting Technique Liu Mengmei sent over, he saw that the two were perfectly linked together. Hence, he believed the sisters and assured, "Since I have already received the deposit, rest assured that I will handle that Li Bai and even the Li Qin behind him!"

This was because Fang Yuan also had backings behind him, which were Elder Smelter and Feng Xinzi.

Although it is said that relationships were meant to be cultivated, in actual facts, such favours should be used quickly or else it would bring about greater troubles and resentment.

This time around, with how Ye Shuhua quickly found the technique and closed the deal, it was also a way to put an end to their relationship.

From then on, the two parties no longer owed each other anything.

This was natural for Fang Yuan.

Ye Shuhua stood up slowly and bowed to him. She then dragged her sister who seemed like she wanted to speak and yet did not.

Fang Yuan remained seated and appeared to be waiting for someone.

Indeed, not long after, a middle-aged man came over. He was handsome and had a tall hat; he was calm and at ease. Behind him was an arrogant and haughty looking Li Bai that made Fang Yuan thought of a big cock.

The middle-aged man walked forward and sat in front Fang Yuan. He then spoke in a straightforward manner and sincere voice. He did not sound like he was showing off.

"My name is Li Qin, a dream master at the 4th Tier of Illusionary Divine! A 4th Leaf Cultivator in the alliance!"

"Eh... so what?"

Fang Yuan gave a wry smile.

Fang Yuan had to do his utmost since he made the deal. Just because the man said all those did not mean that Fang Yuan had to respectfully step down.

"Similar... so similar!"

Li Qin lamented, "Seeing you is like seeing the young me! I used to be like you, so witty and sharp, just like a sharp sword out of its sheath! But as someone who used to be like that, I have to advise you to know your place and limits... don’t be too brash, else you would have lots of troubles ahead of you! This is coming from an experienced man!"

This man was interesting. He did not mention the Ye sisters nor did he abuse Fang Yuan with his position. Instead, he was like an old grandfather that shared his life experiences and gave warm pieces of advice.

However, Fang Yuan’s gaze changed at once and he began laughing, "Old fogey... you are out of date!"

"Eh? What did you say?"

Li Qin’s eyes flashed with a cold light; it was as though cracking noises could be heard from the surrounding.

Behind Li Qin, Li Bai covered his mouth in shock. He felt Fang Yuan was extremely insolent and thought to himself. How dare he criticised his grandfather, was he tired of living?

"You want to advise me and say that I am haughty? That I should be more reserved and less sharp-tongued?"

Fang Yuan chortled, "That I should be like you? Like a pebble that has been smoothened? Like a person that made zero improvements in over ten years? Why would I be like a dead tree or a rotten skeleton? If you are really experienced, you would have known that us dream masters can only move forward and not backwards! Why would you be stuck at the 4th Tier of the Illusionary Divine stage for over ten years? I will not hesitate to make enemies with people like you!"

"Insolent kid!"

Li Qin was enraged and wanted to kill this kid.

He would have never imagined that such a fearless blockhead would exist in this world. Furthermore, this kid had cultivated to the 3rd Tier of the Illusionary Divine stage! The heavens were blind!

"What? You want to fight me?"

Fang Yuan smirked and stared back at Li Qin, "Come on then, old fogey! Let me tell you, the issue regarding the Ye Sisters is now my issue too! If your useless grandson pesters further, he will have to suffer the consequences!"

"You..."

Li Qin’s image was totally gone. As he saw the dream masters nearby gathering, commenting, bantering and staring, he dared not touch Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan was not afraid as there would be no harm to his body even if his magical clone was destroyed. Most importantly, there were rules governing the Realm Alliance. It was unacceptable If alliance mates fought each other for no good reasons.

Furthermore, it would be even worse if it was a senior bullying a junior.

"This Li Qin doesn’t even dare to go against the alliance’s rules and he dares to make enemies with me? He even wanted to destroy my meaning in cultivation?" Fang Yuan thought.

Fang Yuan could only give a wry smile at such a scene.

Although Li Qin initially appeared warm, he actually harboured malicious intentions and had ulterior motives. The most important thing for a dream master was the cultivation of his own soul in order to be resolute in his chosen path.

If Fang Yuan believed Li Qin’s blarney and his ways of dealing with people, that would have been a real suicide! Not only would his cultivation stop improving and stagnate, it might even regress!

That was what it meant to destroy one’s "meaning in cultivation"!

Hence, Fang Yuan brazenly attacked him with words. By making use of the Realm Alliance’s rules, Fang Yuan knew Li Qin could not fight him even if he wanted to. Thus, things did not go the way Li Qin wanted and his actions could not match his intentions. Li Qin might even vomit blood when he went back!

Thus, not only was Fang Yuan’s meaning in cultivation not destroyed, he managed to disrupt Li Qin’s state of mind!

Although swords nor weapons were seen in this exchange of words, the dangers hidden within it was comparable to a fight for death.

Fang Yuan was brought up by Master Heartless. He faced numerous challenges all by himself; even as the world was in chaos, he relied on his own ways and stayed true to himself. It was ridiculous for Li Qin to attack him for his personality.

Furthermore, the world was experiencing a massive turmoil and chaos was imminent. If Fang Yuan cared about being humble and docile in such a time, it would be as though he surrendered himself to his enemy.

"Old fogey... you are so pathetic!"

Even if Li Qin used to be a genius, he had already lost his drive and spirit. If he were to fight in a fierce battle, his outcome would be disastrous.

Fang Yuan had already viewed Li Qin as a dead person. Fang Yuan calmly stood up and gave Li Qin a look of pity before turning away immediately.

He did not even bat an eye at that Li Bai who was convulsing in anger.

Although Li Bai was a dream master, 80% was due to external resources that helped him. Li Bai’s character and temperament were utterly horrible and Fang Yuan would be stooping down to his level if he cared about him.

"Fang Yuan!"

"Fang Yuan!!"

"Fang Yuan!!!"

Li Qin was fuming mad. If that image of his was not formed by his spiritual will, he would have really vomited blood. Even so, a gleam of light shined across Li Qin and he became wobbly and unstable.

"Grandpa!"

Li Bai was shocked and immediately went forward to support Li Qin’s body. However, Li Qin gave him a slap and shouted, "Scram! I don’t need your pity!"

Li Qin’s expression turned gloomy. He looked at Fang Yuan’s back view leaving and thought, "If this kid doesn’t die, my heart will not be at ease!"

...

As Fang Yuan had bafflingly just gained another enemy, it made him sigh too.

In actual fact, dream masters lived a very long life and had numerous powers. If they fought about women, it could be easily resolved usually.

However, Li Qin had an ulterior motive, he wanted to destroy Fang Yuan’s meaning in cultivation! That meant Li Qin had the intent to kill!

Fang Yuan had no regrets in brazenly retorting him.

Fang Yuan only regretted not having enough power and that it happened in the Dream Realm. Thus, it was not perfect for him as he could not kill his whole family and display their chopped-off heads.

"Clap! Clap!"

Suddenly, a stream of pill essence gathered beside Fang Yuan and turned in the silhouette of Feng Xinzi. Feng Xinzi clapped his hands and praised, "So mighty! So savage! Whatever you said just now was so true! Just that you have now offended Li QIn and bunch of useless elders in the alliance!"

"Luckily I have you to support me!"

Fang Yuan expression changed and said, "It’s just a few words out of my mouths! They can’t possibly be rushing over to kill me immediately!"

"The Realm Alliance forbids members from killing each other. For Illusionary Divine dream masters at the same tier, they could still report it to the elders to fight on the Stage of Life and Death. You don’t meet this condition and furthermore, amongst the 3rd Tier Illusionary Divine dream masters, no one is confident to take you down! Thus, there’s nothing to be afraid of for you!"

Feng Xinzi did not know whether to smile or not and continued, "Just that this Li QIn does have some power with him, especially since he is good friends with the treasurer of the prosperous lands in Cloud Region. You might be in for some small troubles..."
