Carefree Path of Dreams

Chapter 345: History

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

In front of Fang Yuan was a living, breathing Sword Toothed Tiger.

It was larger than the average tiger and had two fangs as sharp as swords. It was the undisputed king of the predators.

However, as the Sword Toothed Tiger glared at Fang Yuan, it hesitated for a while before feeling a little fearful.

Although it had eaten many humans before, it still felt a sense of danger from Fang Yuan.

"This is timely...

Fang Yuan wielded the short sword by his waist. "I’ll test this new body... Hey, pussycat! You’ll only have one try!"

"Roar! Roar!"

Although it could not understand human language, Fang Yuan’s posture had agitated it. With a roar, it leapt forward. Any strong villager would still feel extreme fear facing this beast.

"You’re ultimately still a beast!"

Fang Yuan twisted his body to one side and lunged his sword out.

"Ping!"

The sword in his hands was extremely short. It was almost as long as only 2 daggers. Although it was sharpened, the sword still snapped as it came into contact with the skin of the Sword Toothed Tiger!

It snapped...

"Is this weapon trying to play games with me?"

After using his magical soldiers for quite some time, Fang Yuan could not get used to such a weapon.

If not for his speed and agility, Fang Yuan might have already been bitten by the Sword Toothed Tiger.

As a dream master at the 4th Tier of the Illusionary Divine stage, it would be a waste if he were to be bitten by a tiger.

"Die!"

As his eyes glistened, the red sword essence in his hands was on the brink of explosion.

"Yuan!"

At this point in time, a young lady ran over. Seeing that the Sword Toothed Tiger was about to attack Fang Yuan, she was shocked. Swiftly, she pulled her bow and shot an arrow out.

"Whoosh!"

Wei’s archery skills were rather remarkable as the arrow flew straight into the right eye of the tiger. With a roar, it turned around and left.

"Don’t you escape!"

Fang Yuan leapt forward, grabbed on to the arrowhead and pressed it down. As he pressed it in, a concentrated amount of sword essence exploded within the tiger’s head, turning it into a gruesome mess.

"Pa!"

The Sword Toothed Tiger fell to the ground and a layer of dust was stirred up.

"Yuan, are you alright?"

Wei came forward with a worried look, unlike her brave and determined self just a few moments ago.

"I’m alright, thanks!"

On the surface, he was being rescued by a woman...

Fang Yuan was a little unhappy about it, but he did not let it show. "Come, let’s carry this Sword Toothed Tiger back together. We shall have more meat for dinner tonight!"

"Alright!"

Wei replied happily. "I’ve heard from the people of our division that there is a cunning Sword Toothed Tiger lurking around. I’ve always wanted to kill it!"

’Mmm... This is still the ancient times and people still do not regard females as housewives and mothers. They can be strong warriors as well, or even division leaders with thousands of soldiers under her command... Enough to make us men embarrassed!’

...

3 days later, Fang Yuan brought along 2 other warriors as they received the messenger from Da Xia.

"Guest from afar, we welcome you. I am a warrior of the division, Yuan!"

Fang Yuan examined the group of people who had just arrived. They were all well-built and carried spears in their hands. They also had bows on their backs and their clothing was sewn with proper cloth. In all aspects, they were stronger and more superior than the people of Yang.

"Mmm, my name is Qi. You can call me Xia Qi!"

The messenger in front seemed like he was in his 20s and his skin was extremely white. He had a piece of jade on his waist. After seeing Fang Yuan, he smiled and twitched his eyes at him while transferring a message. ’Are you the newcomer from the alliance?’

"Eh?"

Fang Yuan focused on the person in front of the group and used a similar method of transferring messages to reply him. "You are..."

"No need for suspicion. I am following orders - All is well and peaceful here!"

"I am Fang Yuan! I am here after receiving a mission to provide assistance!"

After confirming their identities, Fang Yuan introduced himself.

The alliance would not allow any dream master to enter an explored realm like this for free. Dream masters would either have to use their contribution points to purchase coordinates or take up missions to gain entry.

Fang Yuan had spent his contribution points in cultivating his 10th Refining Stage and therefore had to save up on his contribution points. Therefore, he had chosen to enter the realm by taking up missions.

"It’s indeed you, the newly promoted dream master in the 4th Tier of the Illusionary Divine stage! You are the talent of our alliance!"

Xia Qi’s eyes glistened. "In recent days, I’ve been overloaded with work to do. Now that you are here, you can share my workload with me and everybody will have an easier time!"

"Eh? Isn’t it rumoured that after the uprising of Da Xia, the entire world has been developing peacefully? Why would you reach the stage of requesting for assistance?"

Fang Yuan asked curiously.

"Hmm... Actually, I’m not supposed to share about this. However, since you are one of our own, I can tell you about it!"

Xia Qi continued. "Last time, when the Sage of our alliance entered this realm, he killed Wu of the Jiuli Division, started a civilisation, protected the human dao and gained karma. Because of this, there were legends that he could fly to the heavens. However, he had no choice but to reincarnate as Xia and re-enter the realm. This is why the coordinates of this world had leaked out!"

"The coordinates have leaked out? To which organisation?"

Fang Yuan was shocked. He knew that if anyone else knew the coordinates, they would be able to dream-traverse and enter the realm as well. This was a threat.

"It’s Da Qian! The Hidden Dragon Guards!"

Xia Qi continued with a cold voice. "There was a traitor in the alliance. Although the traitor had already gotten what he deserved, the trouble which he created was rather significant. Sage’s original division was destroyed. The Hidden Dragon Guards had transformed into water demons and triggered tribulations all around the realm, causing the world to flood and killing many people! There are two more famous people among them and you might have an impression of them."

"You are saying..."

Fang Yuan quickly scanned through Yuan’s memories, recalled a few legends and gave off a mysterious look. "Wu Zhiqi? And Xiang Liu?"

Wu Zhiqi had fiery eyes and the look of a monkey. He was extremely powerful and could control the elements!

Xiang Liu was a snake with 9 heads. He had eaten countless humans and anywhere he went would be wiped out. His blood was extremely poisonous and he could regenerate a severed head!

These two were the greatest demons in the legends of this realm. Although Xia had managed to escape many times, he was still captured by these two demons.

"It’s these two!"

Xia Qi smiled. "If they were normal demons, do you think they could stop a Sage? These two demons are two leaders among the Hidden Dragon Guards. They intentionally wanted to disrupt our alliance leader’s plans and therefore entered the realm. Even if they were killed, they would only experience a little backlash and could re-enter the realm once they recover and restore their cultivation. This was how the legends described Wu Zhiqi as indestructible and Xiang Liu as able to revive upon will..."

"I see!"

Hearing this, Fang Yuan understood what had happened.

This was the history of this realm. Interestingly, the consciousness of the realm did nothing and allowed the intruders from the Hidden Dragon Guards to wreak havoc in the realm.

"Wait a minute! The leader of the Hidden Dragon Guards? Does this mean that the head of Hidden Dragon Guards is here?"

Fang Yuan took it one step further. "Is our mission related to them?"

"Nope!"

Xia Qi denied. "The reason for the arrival of all the Hidden Dragon Guards is due to the fact that our alliance leader had accomplished a lot in this realm. I’ve heard that even the head of the Hidden Dragon Guards was involved. However, in the end, it was still our alliance leader that prevailed! From then on, the forces of the Imperial Court have since left this realm. Even if they are still lurking around, they would only do it secretly and would maintain a low profile."

After all, the greatest reward from this realm had already been taken away. Since there were no other rewards, it was not logical for the Imperial Court to allocate so much manpower to go head on with the Realm Alliance.

"However, the situation is different now!"

Xia Qi continued with a solemn look. "The 5 Grand Organisations have agreed to come together to wipe out all organisations that are loyal to the Imperial Court. Do you think that the Imperial Court would be fools to not retaliate?"

"They would retaliate by gathering all other Wu Zongs and spiritual knights, as well as attack us in the other realms. Don’t worry, the strongest that they’ve got this time is a dream master in the 7th Tier of the Illusionary Divine stage. Therefore, our Elder would be the one going against him. We just have to give him encouragement and assistance!"

Since they were dream-traversing to other realms, even if they were to die, they could start again. Therefore, Xia Qi seemed rather relaxed.

’He’s thinking about it too simply. If we go against a strong adversary or die too many times, our actual bodies in Da Qian would still be affected as well...’

Thinking about it, Fang Yuan replied. "How do you want me to help you guys?"

"It’s very simple. I’ve brought along the order of Xi, the newest leader of Xia Country. We will contain the entire water system in the 9 regions and are gathering helpers from all divisions. By then, you can officially come over!"

"Contain the water system in the 9 regions?"

Fang Yuan rolled his eyes. "This means... the Hidden Dragon Guards are still in the form of water demons? They lack creativity!"

"All that matters is that their plan still works. Furthermore... This realm is still our home ground and has been defined as so because of the Sage! Therefore, if the Hidden Dragon Guards want to possess a body to enter the realm, it will be extremely difficult for them to possess humans. They can only try to possess animals!"

As Xia Qi proudly remarked, it was as though he was satisfied by the fact that they will be possessing animal bodies.

’This also means that... Sage has changed the rules of this realm. Other than dream masters from the Realm Alliance, any other dream masters who enter will be noticed by the heavens? And they will experience tribulations if they were to attack humans?’

Fang Yuan was stunned. This was the first time he had witnessed the godly powers of a Sage.

As soon as the Sage defined his homeground, if anyone else wanted to come in, they would have to do so as beasts!

’However... How huge is this realm? This is not a simple hollow. Otherwise, Sage could directly deny entry to the evil dream masters!’

Fang Yuan thought to himself silently.

There was no question about the power of a dream master in the Prominent Divine stage. However, it was still a dream to be able to take entire control over a huge realm!

Now, they were merely making use of the fate energy of humans and the 9 cauldrons system to gain the upper hand, forcing the Hidden Dragon Guards to have to make their way from the boundaries.

’These Hidden Dragon Guards love to take up the form of demons, flood the world and eat humans. This is because the people of this realm is the external influence of the Realm Alliance, and the Imperial Court wants to weaken the alliance!’

As the both of them talked, they arrived at the Yang Tribe.

"I am the leader of the tribe - Yang! Welcome, the messenger from afar!"

Yang was long waiting at the entrance of the village and had instructed for a banquet to be prepared. "Please enjoy. Let’s discuss anything else tomorrow!"
