Chapter 1848

Inside the sovereign immortal aperture, the dragonman clone has Dragon Palace release the immortal killer move Dreamy Light Smoke, whose dense smoke devours everything it meets. Fang Yuan tests it on an immemorial year beast, which cannot resist, and the returning smoke carries it into Dragon Palace. In his previous life he saw this smoke corrode Heaven Overseeing Tower even in phantom form. Not even Heavenly Court can yet counter dream path methods. He had expected an offensive move, but using it himself he finds it is for capturing enemies. Dragon Palace remains an enslavement path Immortal Gu House despite rank eight Dream Token. The smoke traps a target first so that enslavement can follow. ^{ch. 1848}

Dragon Palace holds two other dream path killer moves, dream revelation and dream within dream. Dream within dream builds dream realms inside dream realms, which allows one to modify them. The clone’s exploration as Wu Shuai, while Wu Shuai went into another dream for revelations, was this move’s power. The dream realm shrouding the palace was Dream Token’s own power. Fang Yuan judges dreamy light smoke the most practical for now. Dream revelation spends heaven’s will, which helped Wu Shuai since dragonmen were meant to reign supreme, but Fang Yuan is an otherworldly demon targeted by heaven’s will. ^{ch. 1848}

Dream token is a dream path Gu worm with enslavement path ability, like the soul path Soul Beast Token that Fang Yuan has, and the Dragon Spirit has taught him its exact use. With dragonman extermination coming, Wu Shuai delayed his death through experiments and spent his last time activating it. He expended all his rank eight immortal essence, emotions, memories and wills, grew extremely thin, and died on his dragon throne. Dragonman extermination did not kill him. He died from using Dream Token, and the price of activating it was huge. ^{ch. 1848}

The blessed land hiding Dragon Palace was destroyed in the current era, and the palace went to the sea bottom, subduing Granny Rong, Zhang Yin and the other Dragon Generals. By Fang Yuan’s reckoning, sacrificing a peak rank eight like Wu Shuai can enslave four rank eights and one rank seven, though the dream realm’s foundation fell greatly. Had the realm been complete, the clone would likely have been modified even using unravel dream. Fang Yuan owes thanks to the four Eastern Sea rank eights for using up much of its power. Dream token alone kills its user. Rank eights cannot be forced to use it. Each activation would cost one rank eight, a huge price Fang Yuan is not willing to try. ^{ch. 1848}

Killer moves limiting it could one day spare the user, but they would still cost his true meaning and lower his attainment levels, so it is not very useful alone. His dream path gains are Dream Token and three killer moves that belong to Dragon Palace, which raise his dream path abilities several times over. He gains four rank eight Dragon Generals and all the legacy of Wu Shuai and the dragonmen. Its most valuable parts are Qian Kun Crystal Wall, Censure Peak and army ant. Wu Shuai had enslaved Calligraphy Pavilion Lady and taken her Immortal Gu House, Calligraphy Pavilion, whose strength came from the Qian Kun Crystal Wall fragments stored inside. Censure Peak is complete yet only an incomplete secluded domain of heaven and earth, inferior in essence to Refinement Sea. Army ant, Green Ant Ascetic’s true inheritance, was Wu Shuai’s main offensive method, and grown large it lets one fight a group of rank eight Gu Immortals alone. ^{ch. 1848}

Passing the dream realm raised the clone’s enslavement path attainment level to quasi-supreme grandmaster, where Wu Shuai had merely been one level short of supreme grandmaster. The gains are immense. Fang Yuan has basically inherited the legacy of the entire dragonman race, though his limited time lets him use only what helps him. He will not practise army ant now, since he can already fight a group of rank eights alone. Qian Kun Crystal Wall and Censure Peak are foundations of information path, where he lacks methods. He earlier sent Li Xiao Bai into Profound Literature grotto-heaven for the same purpose. He feels slight regret that Dragon Palace lacks dream path defensive methods, though he accepts it, since with them Duke Long would not have invaded. ^{ch. 1848}
