Chapter 522: A Long Dream
As Jiang Yun fell into unconsciousness, everyone inside the Tao Conferment Bamboo Slip, including Xia Mingzhu, also fell unconscious.
However, the people outside did not pay any attention to their unconscious state.
Even though the red light in the sky had disappeared and the earth stopped shaking, everyone in this world at that moment felt a strange sensation.
Between heaven and earth, it seemed like something was awakening!
They couldn’t quite describe or explain this thing.
Only people like the Xia family and those who specialized in practicing fire-element techniques could feel more clearly that this thing seemed to be related to fire.
Even their fire spells became much stronger than before.
Because of this feeling, they temporarily forgot about the people in the Tao Conferment Bamboo Slip and discussed their feelings with each other.
…
After who knows how long, Jiang Yun slowly opened his eyes, but they were empty, staring blankly at the sky.
Because he just had a very long and strange dream!
In the dream, there was a huge black square stone standing tall, and he was sitting on top of it.
However, the self in the dream did not look like his real self.
His hair was long, reaching his waist, with some gray strands mixed in. His appearance looked aged, like he was in his thirties or forties.
Even though he didn’t know what the stone was, it gave him a warm and familiar feeling.
Around the rock, there were many blurry light orbs.
These light orbs were floating randomly, making him feel like they were glowing eggs.
Some orbs gradually lost their light and faded into nothingness.
Some orbs’ light, however, became brighter and dazzled like the sun!
When the light reached its peak, a beam of light would shoot out from within and land on the black rock beneath him.
Despite the brightness, the black rock was too massive, so no matter how strong the light was, it only made a small spot on the rock shine.
The orb that emitted the light beam would then start moving, changing position, and continuing to emit light.
He sat on the rock day after day, year after year, watching this scene, feeling like it was his life with no end in sight.
Even though this life seemed incredibly monotonous, Jiang Yun could sense that at least his dream self was content with it.
One day, he saw his dreaming self suddenly roar angrily and stood up from the stone.
Next, he fiercely slapped the black stone beneath him.
The towering black stone cracked and exploded into countless pieces, flying in all directions.
Many of them flew into the orbs of light.
Then, a hand suddenly grabbed him from above.
At this point, Jiang Yun woke up from the dream!
Even though he had woken up, Jiang Yun was still immersed in the dream.
From childhood, he had many dreams, but none had ever been as clear as this one.
To Jiang Yun, it didn’t feel like a dream at all, but like a real experience.
Of course, he also had many questions.
Why was the self in the dream always sitting on that black stone?
Why did he have to smash it when it was fine?
Whose hand was it coming from, and did he finally break free from its grasp?
"Black stone!"
The four words muttered by Jiang Yun made his body shake suddenly, sitting up, immediately scanning with divine sense towards the black stone in his dantian.
At this sight, Jiang Yun’s eyes widened abruptly!
Because he could easily tell that the black stone in his dantian, surprisingly, was exactly the same in material as the black stone he sat on in the dream for who knows how many years, except for the difference in size and shape!
The stone in the dream was towering and square, while the stone in his dantian was only palm-sized and triangular.
Jiang Yun looked at the black stone that Jiang Yuerou gave him and muttered, "Could this be one of the pieces of the black stone that was shattered?"
He remembered every detail of the dream clearly, so he recalled seeing a triangular piece of stone flying into a ball of light.
"Could it be… not a dream?"
Jiang Yun stood frozen like a statue, lost in memories of the dream, not realizing.
In front of him now, besides the restored woman Wuyang, stood a middle-aged man in a Blood Robe.
Wuyang and the man had been staring at Jiang Yun for a while, but Jiang Yun seemed dazed since waking up, not noticing them, speaking strange words they couldn’t understand.
After exchanging a glance, the man in the Blood Robe had to speak, "You’re awake!"
While the man’s appearance was ordinary, his voice was like thunder, making Jiang Yun shudder and snap his head towards him.
At the sight of the man in the Blood Robe, Jiang Yun shuddered again, feeling his outfit was too striking.
"Blood Robe!"
Wuyang, who was standing aside, said coldly, "Yes, he is the Blood Robe Demon Refiner who sealed me."
Wuyang then looked at the man and said, "If I had known earlier that you also left a trace of divine thought here, I would have killed you long ago!"
Wuyang’s words finally woke Jiang Yun up completely. He didn’t have time to remember his dream, but quickly stood up and bowed deeply to the Blood Robe man, saying, "Junior Jiang Yun pays respect to Senior Xue!"
Jiang Yun had no idea what the man’s name was, he just followed Su Yang’s words.
"No need for formalities! I have long forgotten my name, just call me Blood Robe!"
The middle-aged man smiled and lifted Jiang Yun’s body with a wave of his hand.
It was only then that Jiang Yun truly saw the appearance of this legendary Demon Refiner.
Blood Robe’s appearance was nothing special, just an ordinary middle-aged man with a hint of vicissitudes. But he had a very tall stature, towering over Jiang Yun by at least two heads.
Besides, what caught his attention was the unique feature of the person’s eyes – each eye had two pupils, a rare sight of double pupils!
Under the gaze of those eyes, Jiang Yun felt as though all his secrets were laid bare. Combined with his recent examination of the black stone, Jiang Yun couldn’t help but lower his head, avoiding a direct eye contact with the person.
It’s better not to let too many people know about the secret of the black stone.
Seeing Jiang Yun lower his head, Blood Robe smiled slightly and said, "Don’t worry, I can only catch a glimpse of your secrets with a hint of divine thought!"
Being seen through by the person made Jiang Yun feel a bit embarrassed.
However, Blood Robe continued, "But, I did catch a glimpse of some of your secrets. How about this, take a look at your elixir field first!"
