Chapter 438: Chapter 434: Entering the Jade Dream
As the guardian of the Jade Dream, the Green Dragon was nearly invincible within the dream. Though the Nightmare Death Servant had reached Emperor-level, it still hadn’t garnered Legend status. Hence, the entirety of the dream soon was assimilated by the Jade Power.
Looking around at the boundless Jade World, the Nightmare Death Servant felt a wave of despair wash over it. It wanted to resist, but in the face of the absolute suppression of the dream, it struggled to summon its spirit power.
“Bai Qi, should this dragon obliterate it directly?”
Nicholas, who had steadily suppressed the Nightmare Death Servant, turned his head to ask Bai Qi.
“No need for that just yet. Let’s see if Jerry can refine it into a Soul Crystal.”
Bai Qi shook his head and immediately left the dream with Husky.
Due to still being in the dream, the body of the Nightmare Death Servant remained frozen in place. Jerry easily wrapped it in Diamond Strength and began to attempt refining it.
However, as Jerry had mentioned before, the likelihood of a Soul Crystal’s birth was extremely low. Even after they had purified the Nightmare Death Servant into ashes, a Soul Crystal still hadn’t emerged.
“An Emperor-level creature couldn’t even produce a Soul Crystal. This Nightmare Death Servant truly lived a pathetic existence.”
Bai Qi looked disdainfully at the Nightmare Death Servant, now wholly reduced to ashes, and re-entered the dreamland.
Like the outside world, the Nightmare Death Servant within the dream had become ashes too. But the dream it had created was preserved thanks to its assimilation by the Jade Power.
“Boss, can I eat this dream?”
ChongCao flew in front of Bai Qi, unabashedly exhibiting its desire for the dream of the Nightmare Death Servant.
“Eating dreams? When did you start being influenced by Gamma?”
Bai Qi looked helplessly at ChongCao, who along with Jie Ta, seemed to have caught Gamma’s insatiable appetite.
“The Dream Vine by nature draws strength from dreams. Beast Master, you should really brush up on the Pet Beast Illustrated Handbook.”
Schuck cast Bai Qi a somewhat disdainful look, but Bai Qi remained unaffected.
“Isn’t that what we have you for? If the Beast Master does everything, wouldn’t that make you guys feel useless?”
Schuck couldn’t retort. Bai Qi gave the go-ahead, and an excited ChongCao promptly rushed into the Nightmare Death Servant’s dream, greedily gobbling it up.
Crunch crunch…
(Looking at it seems tasty. Gamma also wants to eat…)
Zzz zzz…
(Is it good? Like ice cream?)
The sight of ChongCao devouring the dream heightened Gamma’s and Jie Ta’s appetites. Unfortunately, they couldn’t even touch the dream’s border, which seemed like candy in ChongCao’s mouth.
“Alright, everyone else should leave so you don’t get accidentally injured by Epsilon.”
Witnessing ChongCao eating faster and faster, Bai Qi prepared to command the other pets to leave. Meanwhile, Nicolas opened a green whirlpool, ready to depart.
“Nicholas, what’s that place? Your dream?”
Through the green whirlpool, Bai Qi glimpsed a different world. His curiosity piqued, he moved closer to inspect it.
“This? This is the Jade Dream.”
Nicholas hesitated before adding, “Speaking of which, Epsilon surprisingly managed to withstand the Jade Dream’s entrance this time?”
“Perhaps it’s related to Epsilon’s level increase.”
Bai Qi shrugged. When ChongCao first evolved, it used the Dream Weaver to drag everyone into the dreamland. But when Nicholas joined, the dream was on the brink of collapse.
But now, not only could it withstand Nicholas, the legendary giant dragon, it could even handle the Jade Dream. Quite impressive indeed.
“Right, since all our dreams are interconnected, doesn’t that mean we can also go to the Jade Dream?”
Looking at the fantastical world behind the whirlpool, Bai Qi became curious.
What would a world guarded by the Green Dragon look like?
“Of course, you can. However, I’m not sure if you’ll be able to move freely after you enter. The previous creatures that came in through the Jade Dream were all forced to sleep.”
Nicholas nodded, stabilized the whirlpool leading to the Jade Dream, and said, “You guys go in first. If there are any issues, this dragon will get you out.”
Bai Qi nodded, took the lead, and ran in. Alpha and the other pets followed closely behind.
Peace.
Serenity.
This was Bai Qi’s first impression upon entering the Jade Dream. Any trouble seemed to wash away in this placid place.
Rolling hills, dense jungles, and vast grasslands—even the towering mountains teemed with lush vegetation.
This was a Pure Land untouched by any external force.
“You didn’t fall asleep?”
Nicholas was the last to come in and, seeing that Bai Qi and his group hadn’t been forced to sleep, an unconscious smile crossed his face.
Finally, he was no longer alone in the Jade Dream.
“It seems that souls aren’t forced to fall asleep.”
Bai Qi speculated boldly and then noticed a Storm Rat sleeping in a corner.
“Is this Cha’s one?”
Bai Qi came over to the Storm Rat, gently patted it, but his hand went directly through it.
“So, although the body enters, it’s in a phantom state. Indeed, leaving it here is very safe.”
Bai Qi nodded slightly. Even though Nicolas said that no other creatures were in the Jade Dream, the unknown world still held some risks. This way, it was relatively safer.
“But this place is truly comfortable, I feel my thoughts are much clearer.”
Bai Qi spread his arms wide in embrace, thoroughly savoring the tranquility of this world; some formerly baffling problems began to unravel.
“You’re right, Sister Aleta previously told me to sleep more and stay in the Jade Dream whenever I could, it’s beneficial for the growth of the Green Dragon,” he reminisced.
Nicholas approached Bai Qi and said, “Bai Qi, if you like it here, you can come and play often. After all, aside from me, there is no one else.”
“No one else…”
Upon hearing Nicholas’s words, a thought surged in Bai Qi’s mind and one of his troublesome problems was instantly solved.
“Nicholas, would you like to have more people to keep you company in the Jade Dream?” he asked.
“More people? I don’t mind. But apart from today’s method, I have no way to bring others in without putting them in deep sleep.”
Nicholas looked somewhat puzzled. He had thought about these creatures keeping him company when he helped Bai Qi make the Green Leaf Ball. But when creatures like the Thunder Mouse entered and immediately fell into deep sleep, he gave up.
“If you don’t mind then it’s settled. I’ll figure out the specifics once I go back.”
Bai Qi’s eyes sparkled as he mumbled something. It seemed he could hardly suppress the burst of inspiration in his mind.
*Crack!*
Just then, a crisp sound interrupted Bai Qi’s train of thought. Everyone turned towards the sound, only to find the Cicada surreptitiously gnawing at the Jade Dream.
“Dammit, Epsilon, are you really eating the Jade Dream now?”
Bai Qi charged over and grabbed the Cicada, gazing outside through the entrance of the Jade Dream, which was nothing but darkness.
This little guy had consumed all the dreams so quickly? Bai Qi shook the Cicada, which seemed to be behaving drunkenly. However, the Cicada was still immersed in its own world, struggling to break away from Bai Qi’s grasp and continue eating the Jade Dream.
Witnessing the Cicada’s state, Nicholas released his dragon prowess, waking it up abruptly.
“Um~ Boss, why are you looking at me like that?”
The Cicada looked blankly at Bai Qi. However, when it saw the Jade Dream behind Bai Qi, it instinctively tried to pounce on it.
“Did you eat the Nightmare Death Person’s dreams and lose your mind?”
Seeing this, Bai Qi frowned slightly and immediately concentrated his spirit to sense the condition of the Cicada.
[Name]: Great Sun Dragon Cicada (Epsilon)
[Attribute]: Sun, Dragon, Super Energy
[Bloodline Level]: Low King
[Growth Level]: Fifth Stage Three Level
[Skills]: Great Sun Force Field (Transcendent – Perfect), Dream Eater (Transcendent – Mastery), Absolute Control (Super Level – Perfect), Dream Weaver (Transcendent Level – Mastery), Dragon Sleep (Super Level – Perfect), Jade Imprint (Super Level – Novice)
[Energy Value]: 42E1100W
[Condition]: Evolvable
…
[Skill Name]: Dream Eater
[Skill Level]: Transcendent
[Skill Effect]: The traveler wandering in the dreamland can draw strength from it. When the dreamland is completely devoured, its soul will also belong to the traveler.
…
“Did Soul Eating evolve into Dream Eater?”
Bai Qi raised an eyebrow, obviously not expecting such a change in the Cicada.
Being able to directly devour dreams was much more convenient than its previous ability to create dreamlands to scare the enemy and then draw power from emotional fluctuations. The Cicada’s combat power in the dreamland had greatly increased.
It seemed like the Nightmare Death Person had similar abilities. It was likely a change induced by eating the Nightmare Death Person’s dreams.
However, what caught Bai Qi off guard was the newly acquired skill – Jade Imprint.
[Skill Name]: Jade Imprint
[Skill Level]: Super Level
[Skill Introduction]: Green Dragon gifted skill, can open the entrance to the Jade Dream by forming a Jade Imprint.
…
Previously, when the Cicada absorbed the Green Dragon scales and Green Dragon’s blood, it didn’t obtain any Green Dragon skills during the evolution, much to Bai Qi’s disappointment. But now, it had suddenly acquired one?
“Jade Imprint? Could it be that Epsilon obtained it while gnawing at the Jade Dream just now?”
Having understood the Cicada’s condition, Nicholas also looked puzzled.
“That should be it.”
Bai Qi nodded, grabbed the Cicada, and said, “Epsilon, try forming a Jade Imprint.”
“Let me try.”
The Cicada nodded and after pondering for a while, it began to try using the Jade Imprint.
After several failures, the Cicada finally formed a Jade Imprint, which then gradually transformed into a vortex.
It was similar to the one Nicholas opened, but the size was drastically different.
However, through the Jade Imprint, Bai Qi could still clearly see the scenery of the fourth layer of the Twilight Tomb. He even spotted Bai Qiucha looking surprised.
“This Twilight Tomb really is a blessed place. We hit the jackpot this time…”
