Invincibility Begins with Mastery of Fist Techniques

Chapter 415 - 408: Dream Vision

Li Qingxuan—the woman who had once chosen Zhou Yuanjue and provided immense help on his path to Saint Awakening—had completely vanished after he’d achieved it and she’d broken free from the Li Family.

These tremendous changes in the world seemed to have nothing to do with her anymore.

She had spent this time living a relaxed and carefree life, traveling the globe to see all sorts of sights and ancient ruins. But this wasn’t the life she wanted.

The world was in the midst of massive change. In the face of such a great crisis and upheaval, she didn’t want to be free and unfettered, nor could she truly achieve it.

However, that unknown voice in her heart had been telling her to wait.

And now, it seemed the wait was finally over.

’Is this the "right time" you were talking about? And why is now the "right time"?’

Li Qingxuan asked silently in her mind.

"Because some people have conceived ’non-compliant’ ideas and are beginning to implement ’non-compliant’ plans. To a vast entity that possesses a self-defense mechanism similar to a human’s immune system, non-compliance signals the activation of its defenses. Only when those defenses are activated will the corresponding effects and power be generated, and only then will we have the opportunity to harness a portion of that power."

The voice in her mind replied slowly.

’I don’t really understand.’

Li Qingxuan admitted to herself that she was completely baffled.

"It’s alright if you don’t understand. I will teach you, and you will come to understand just what that power is."

the voice said.

’You’re going to teach me how to master a power as strong as an S Class individual?’

Li Qingxuan’s eyes lit up as she thought.

"No, that’s not it. That power won’t increase your physical strength by a single bit, nor will it grant you formidable Attack Power, Defense Power, or make you as agile as the wind."

the voice said, denying her assumption.

’Then what exactly are you going to teach me?’

The more Li Qingxuan listened, the more confused she grew.

"I am going to teach you how to ’see’."

"You must understand that as a human individual, you are a very special existence."

the voice said.

’How am I special?’

Li Qingxuan asked curiously. In truth, aside from being born into a family of Spirit Guardians and possessing a faint Bloodline power that made her body healthier and her Recovery Ability stronger than a normal person’s, she hadn’t noticed anything else about herself that was out of the ordinary.

"What makes you special is your ability to converse with me."

the voice stated dispassionately.

’My special quality is that I can talk to you...’

’That’s a new level of shamelessness...’

Li Qingxuan couldn’t help but snark internally.

"You will understand what I mean. Now, return to your room. We can begin."

the voice said.

’So soon?’

Li Qingxuan was surprised by the sudden shift, but she had been waiting for this day for a long time. Now that it had finally arrived, she was naturally eager to start.

She quickly gathered her things, rose from her lounge chair, and hurried toward her seaside inn.

Her departure instantly removed a beautiful sight from the beach, and many of the men there couldn’t help but feel a pang of disappointment.

Back in her room, she bolted the door, hung the "Do Not Disturb" sign, and drew the curtains. Once everything was ready, she asked aloud, "What do I do next?"

"Sleep."

the voice stated simply.

"Sleep?"

Li Qingxuan repeated, confused.

"To be more precise, dream."

the voice continued.

"But I usually sleep very well. I hardly ever dream."

Li Qingxuan said, sounding troubled.

"All humans dream. Consciousness never ceases, not even in sleep. Otherwise, the body’s functions would be compromised, and it could even lead to death."

"When your conscious mind falls into deep sleep, the dreams produced by the workings of your unconscious mind’s magnetic field are too chaotic and shallow to form lasting memories. That is why you feel as if you don’t dream."

"Simply put, you do dream, but you don’t remember it."

the voice said.

"But why do I need to dream?"

Li Qingxuan asked.

"Consciousness is a magnetic field, and a very special one at that. Truly understanding and training it is no easy task."

"For humans, the primary venue for understanding and utilizing one’s own conscious magnetic field is the dream state."

"Since ancient times, dreams have held a unique place in ancient myths, legends, and old Cultivation systems. They are a mystery that humanity has failed to unravel for millennia."

"Some believe that dreams are a bridge for humanity to communicate with unknown forces of nature. Within a dream, one can communicate with unknown ’spirits.’ Even ordinary people can sometimes receive prophetic visions or find answers to the unknown in their dreams."

"Even in science, which modern humanity relies on so heavily, some of the most critical breakthroughs in its development have been mysteriously linked to ’dreams’."

"Especially for an existence like you, who can communicate with me, your dreams hold even greater value and potential. They can help you ’see’."

the voice slowly explained.

"Dreams..."

Li Qingxuan murmured to herself. She never knew such a form of Cultivation existed in the world, or that dreams could play such an important role.

But the more she thought about it, the more she realized that dreams did seem truly magical.

They can show us landscapes we’ve never witnessed and things we’ve never seen. They can be realistic, bizarre, fantastical, or even... terrifying.

Perhaps within dreams, one could truly see more profound mysteries.

"What should I do?"

Li Qingxuan asked.

"Go to the bed and lie down in a comfortable position."

The voice instructed. Li Qingxuan did as she was told and lay down on the bed.

"Close your eyes. Starting from the tips of your toes, feel your body completely relaxing, section by section, as if you were a pile of loose sand..."

"Over and over, gently, as if a faint current is flowing through you."

"Relax your consciousness. A complete, deep relaxation. Don’t think too much. Imagine that you are not on a bed, but in a pool of water. Your will, like the water itself, is slowly dissolving."

"And your body, in this state of extreme relaxation, is slowly sinking into the water. Sinking deeper... and deeper..."

"Darkness surrounds you, but you feel no fear. The water is warm, and your breathing is unrestricted. The sensation is one of extreme comfort, as if you have returned to the womb, floating inside your mother..."

"Logic fades away as chaos begins to sovereign your will, yet you are not lost. You know that you will eventually awaken... in a world of dreams..."

The unknown voice echoed softly in Li Qingxuan’s mind, incomparably gentle, as if possessing some kind of hypnotic, magical power.
