Chapter 206 The World in the Heavenly Master Tablet

Ye Shaoyang opened the door and ushered the middle-aged man out of the apartment . He turned to Xiao Ma, who stared at him in bewilderment .

“Little Ye, how on earth did you know that his boss was a woman?”

Ye Shaoyang smiled, “The spirit scratched the man's shoulder and left a little Spirit Qi on it . It is too much of a coincidence for him and his boss to be involved in a haunting case at the same time, so I concluded that his boss is the one who had been disturbed by the spirit and that he was affected because he always stays by her side . ”

Xiao Ma bent his head, thought about it and asked, “But I still don’t quite understand how you deduced it?”

Ye Shaoyang replied, “Wait until I finish . I detected a special Spirit Qi on his body . From the smell of it, I can confirm that it came from a dream-eating spirit . They’re male spirits . They don’t like Yang Qi and only like to consume females’ dreams, so his boss had to be a woman . Having nightmares when you asleep is the most significant marker of being targeted by dream-eating spirits . ”

Xiao Ma scratched the back of his head, “You mean . . . that kind of dream?”

Ye Shaoyang glared at Xiao Ma, “What are you thinking? The dream-eating spirit will create plenty of nightmares to frighten women . Once they are drenched in sweat, it licks the sweat, absorbs the essence and cultivates it . ”

“Damn, that’s disgusting!” Xiao Ma wiped away the sweat from his forehead and frowned, “From what you have said, is the power of a dream-eating spirit equal to Qin Feng?”

Ye Shaoyang smirked, “What a great difference . With Qin Feng’s cultivation and his ability to create dreams, he could easily kill a Necromancer-level sorcerer . Even an Enlightened sorcerer couldn’t easily escape from the dreams he creates . However, an Enlightened sorcerer can kill a dream-eating spirit, or its evolution, the Night Spirit King within three moves . ”

Xiao Ma was flabbergasted,“Is an Enlightened sorcerer so powerful?”

“Of course . There are less than twenty Enlightened sorcerers among the Daoists,” Ye Shaoyang said proudly .

Xiao Ma nodded . The figures gave him a better understanding of the power and the different ranks of Daoists . He knew Ye Shaoyang was a great sorcerer . After he was given the number of Enlightened sorcerers, he made a comparison between the ranks . There were less than twenty Enlightened sorcerers among the Daoists, which meant that there were only three to five Heavenly masters .

It was the first time Xiao Ma understood how extraordinary Ye Shaoyang was .

Suddenly, Xiao Ma thought of something . His eyes beamed with joy as he asked, “Little Ye, if a dream-eating spirit is just a piece of cake why don’t you solve the case? One hundred thousand Yuan and it won’t take you much time . ”

Ye Shaoyang shook his head, “It is not as easy as you think . My guess is that the boss has been disturbed by more than one spirit . With her power and wealth, she must have sought help from a few great sorcerers . ”

Ye Shaoyang’s words stunned Xiao Ma . He paused and asked, “So . . . you’re not going to help?”

“Don’t worry . They will come and look for me soon,” Ye Shaoyang answered confidently .

They did not discuss the matter further . Then, Ye Shaoyang briefed Xiao Ma regarding the capturing of the river spirit . He took out the Heavenly Master Tablet . Since he got it, he had not had an opportunity to observe it . He gently stroked the gold leaf on the tablet, and muttered, “What does this mean?”

“Do you have any clues?” asked Xiao Ma .

Xiao Ma’s words reminded Ye Shaoyang . He slid into deep thought and said, “A Heavenly Master Tablet represents the rank of a Heavenly Master . A lot of them like to carve symbols on the tablets to represent their family, surname, an abbreviation of their names, or . . . ” Ye Shaoyang stopped abruptly . He touched the leaf and said, “Could this leaf indicate the homonym of the surname or the image of the owner?”

Xiao Ma was puzzled for a while before he replied, “It’s a maple leaf, pronounced Feng Ye in Chinese . The surname of the owner would be either Feng or Ye, right?”

Xiao Ma stared at Ye Shaoyang with big eyes, “Little Ye, do you think you have the same surname as the owner?”

Ye Shaoyang was stunned too . He scratched his head, “I don’t know . ”

Xiao Ma came up with an idea, “Let’s think . Among the Heavenly Masters, are there any of them with the surname of Ye, Feng or--”

Ye Shaoyang waved his hands and interrupted, “The owner with surname Feng could use two horses as the symbol . If the leaf is the homonym of a surname, then my surname, Ye, has the highest possibility . ”

“Did the clan of Ye have another Heavenly Master in the past?”

“Yup! Ye Fashan!” Ye Shaoyang said the name without thinking .

“Who was he? When was he born?” Xiao Ma asked curiously .

Ye Shaoyang did not answer . He smacked his forehead and said, “You have confused me . Instead of guessing, I can just go into the tablet and find clues . ”

Xiao Ma looked down at the tablet and up at Ye Shaoyang, “How do you enter?”

“Of course, I am not entering physically . You need to use the Divine Eye to cast your consciousness into it . Stop asking and wait for me here, I will tell you when I’m back . ”

As he said, he grabbed the tablet with both hands . He opened and cast his Divine Eye on the tablet . It emitted a soft beam of light . After a while, he felt a strong force drawing his mind into it . His mind went through an unknown space . When it stopped, Ye Shaoyang opened his eyes and realized that he had arrived in another world .

The sky was dark similar to the real world . Ye Shaoyang looked around and saw that he was standing in a grassland . There was a hill not far away from him with what looked like a building on top of it . It was pitch dark over the other three directions .

Ye Shaoyang had a habit: leave the best for the last .

He knew there had to be something up the hill, so he walked in the opposite direction when he heard ‘Ouch!’ behind him . His heart sank . There is someone here!

He turned around and saw a plump figure, getting up slowly from the ground . He was dumbstruck when he recognized the person as Xiao Ma!

How did he enter?!

Xiao Ma was stunned to see him too, “Eh? Where exactly am I, Little Ye?”

Ye Shaoyang stepped in and grasped Xiao Ma’s collar, and asked, “How did you come in?”

“Errr, I don’t know . ” Xiao Ma gave him an innocent expression and said, “I felt a force pulling me toward the tablet when it emitted light . The next moment I was rolling and falling to the ground . Little Ye, where are we now? Oh gosh, am I in the world of the Heavenly Master Tablet?”

Xiao Ma was surprised when he saw Ye Shaoyang nod blankly . He stared at Ye Shaoyang and mumbled, “How did I come in?”
