Dream Picking Records

Chapter 178 Searching for the Murong Family

Suppressing the joy in his heart, he continued to think about how to proceed in the Guiyuan Realm.

"The two realms of Concentrating the Spirit and Returning to the Origin are combined into one great realm, and the two realms are divided by the condensation of the primordial spirit. Therefore, Returning to the Origin can be seen as an extension of the realm of Concentrating the Spirit. So where is the real Returning to the Origin?"

He recalled what Dean Yun Hong had said, and then experienced the insights he had gained in the holy realm of transformation.

"That is to say, at first there were only four basic realms: self-cultivation, qi control, mind concentration, and harmony with the Tao. Some predecessors opened up the realm of returning to the origin for people to practice. It seems that there is no way to go now."

But is this really the case?

he does not know.

"The Yuanshen is the sublimation of the spirit, but is it possible that it is also a kind of confinement? Can't the initial practitioners reach the peak without cultivating the Yuanshen?"

"When the primordial spirit is condensed, the power of the Taiping Shenyu technique will be weakened."

"So, gathering the soul is a path created for a strong spirit. And some techniques are the way to show it on each path. In the final analysis, a strong spirit is the most important thing."

Just like the creation of the Primordial Spirit, it is definitely a great feat in the history of cultivation. It has created an extra link on top of the original cultivation system, making people's spirits generally stronger than in the past.

"If I were to unravel my soul and return it to its original state, would that be a good thing or a bad thing..."

Wang Xiao's idea was absolutely horrifying. The current cultivator's physical body was the foundation, carrying the primordial spirit. Once the primordial spirit was destroyed, the person would be truly dead.

Wouldn't it be like seeking death to actively destroy the soul? Even if you survive by chance, you will become demented, right?

It's too crazy. Ordinary people wouldn't even dare to think about it, let alone try it.

Before he knew it, it was already noon, and there was a sound of fighting outside the door. Wang Xiao pushed the door open and looked in, and saw Bai Zhu and Feng Tingyun biting each other.

"You woke up just in time. I'm going to give you a gift today." The two said in unison.

Wang Xiao was speechless. What the hell were these two people doing?

"Don't you know there's a treasure next to you?" The two spoke again at the same time.

"Stop it, both of you, stop it now!"

Wang Xiao vaguely guessed something, and walked over to them in two or three steps, separating them. He held their hands and said earnestly, "We are all brothers, don't fight casually!"

After saying that, he bit Bai Zhu's hand. Feng Tingyun was stunned at first, and then burst into laughter. Bai Zhu didn't react for a long time. Who made Wang Xiao's action too unexpected?

His teeth were almost as powerful as the strongest magical weapons in the same realm, but they only caused a little bit of blood on Bai Zhu's hand.

"A familiar taste." Wang Xiao smacked his lips and commented.

"I'll fuck you, uncle!"

Bai Zhu opened his mouth and bit, wanting to take revenge. But Wang Xiao had already run away, so he had no choice but to... bite Feng Tingyun, who was still laughing, inexperienced, and didn't understand the wickedness of human nature.

Then he turned and ran.

Not long after, Wang Xiao came back, and his two senior brothers also came.

"What a coincidence, brothers. I was just about to contact you."

Without waiting for Master Qin and Master Pei to speak, Old Xia appeared behind them with a dark face.

"Aren't you two being too casual in coming and going?"

"Sorry, sorry! I'm just used to it." Elder Pei's embarrassment was almost written on his face.

Elder Qin also said, "We have something important to discuss with you, Junior Brother. We didn't have time to notify you in advance. Please forgive us."

The two Taoist priests knew they were in the wrong and apologized bitterly. Wang Xiao quickly vouched for his two brothers. In the palace, the Emperor's sword was no joke. Although he had never seen a scene of weapons of that level attacking, he still remembered the might.

Old Xia did not make things too difficult for them, as it was mainly a matter of the royal family's reputation. It was hard to say whether outsiders could come and go at will.

"What's the urgent matter, two senior brothers?" Wang Xiao wiped his sweat.

"Oh, do you remember the furnace you buried near Jinghong Academy?" Elder Qin said.

"Well, it was discovered so quickly? That's not right, how did you know I buried a stove in their place?" Wang Xiao suddenly realized that it was his senior brother who took action that day.

Elder Qin nodded in acknowledgement.

"It just so happened that Jinghong Academy invited the Murong family to visit them in an attempt to win them over. As a result, the Murong family sensed the furnace and the two sides almost came to blows on the spot. In the end, the dean of Jinghong Academy stepped in personally to stop the dispute."

"The Murong family is not willing to give up so easily. They have finally found clues about Murong Bowang and they are determined to get to the bottom of it. Murong Bowang's people have already gone back to report the news, and we have once again left behind our unique tracking methods. This time we will definitely be able to locate their...approximate location." Elder Pei hesitated for a moment and did not finish his words, perhaps to hide his embarrassment, and he turned to ask Wang Xiao.

"By the way, Junior Brother, aren't you going to prepare for the Moon Queen competition? Why are you looking for us?"

"I have encountered a problem in my cultivation. I want to ask if there was such a thing as the Return to Origin Realm in the era that Senior Brother lived in?"

"I've never heard of the Return to Origin Realm. The two of us have long observed that the spiritual cultivation methods of the people of this world are different from ours. I never thought that there would be such a genius in the future who would open up a completely new path."

Mr. Xia suddenly spoke up and said, "You only know one thing, not the other."

"Please tell me, Mr. Xia?"

"According to records, the predecessor who created the method of Yuanshen was not satisfied and wanted to go further. Later, the predecessor even reached the point of obsession, but ended up taking a wrong step and his soul returned to the underworld. What a pity."

"Hey, I don't know how many geniuses have been hindered in their pursuit of the true path. The choice is yours, and you must be careful."

"Junior brother, in my opinion, not all great figures have to take that step. There are many examples of people who were unknown in the early stage but rose to prominence later." Taoist Qin was a little worried after hearing what Elder Xia said.

After careful consideration, Wang Xiao said, "To cultivate the Tao is to fight against heaven and people, to forge one's own path. If you are cowardly before you even start, how can you still cultivate the Tao?"

In fact, when he made a breakthrough in the Qi Control Realm, he had his own ideas. He wanted to give it a try regardless of success or failure.

Several people knew from his sonorous words that he would definitely find a way to move on, and they couldn't help showing worry.

Wang Xiao touched the back of his head and laughed, "Haha, I'll be careful. If it doesn't work, just give up!"

Taoist Qin stroked his beard and suddenly thought of something.

"I remember there was a note in the Dao sect about finding the way to the Condensed Spirit Realm. Although you have already taken the path of Condensed Spirit, it is still of reference value. Unfortunately, it has also been stolen."

Even someone like Old Xia was shocked after hearing this, as path-finding notebooks are rare. How could two unknown Taoist priests actually have such items?

"Brother, practice with peace of mind. Lao Qin and I will go out again and bring it to you after we find it."

Wang Xiao hurriedly grabbed Taoist Pei who was about to leave.

"No, thanks to the care of the two brothers. I have joined the Dao Sect for a long time, but I haven't made any contribution yet. If you can't find the specific location, I have a method you can try."

"What method?" they asked.

Wang Xiao kept it a secret and didn't answer.

"Master Xia, I am going out with two senior brothers. Please take care of my friends."

"It's no problem to take care of it, but you must not let down your guard in the secret realm that follows."

"Don't worry, Mr. Xia."

Wang Xiao and his two brothers left the palace and headed for the Western Regions. After discussing with his brothers, he expressed his idea. If he still couldn't find the specific location, he wanted to use the fake identity of Murong Shengwang to try to lure the other party out.
