Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 956

In the sky and on the ground, all sorts of individual buildings rise and fall, without being subject to much restraint.

Judging from the overall style of Dream City, it can be seen that the city lord's personality is probably not bad, as he actively allows the sleepwalkers who come here to create and modify freely.

Despite the surrounding buildings rising and falling, they all essentially extend from this celestial path, which is why they can remain stable in this extremely illusory dream world.

Without special means, each time one enters the dream dimension, one will randomly descend to any place, which is also a manifestation of the omnipresence of the dimensional world.

Dream City, on the other hand, is an extremely solid anchor point created in the dream by certain high-ranking beings.

When sleepwalkers enter, it's as if they're under the protection of a high-risk entity, and the same applies to these buildings.

Therefore, if you log off in Dream City, you will reappear in Dream City when you log back in, because you have been anchored in the dream.

Regardless of their purpose, anyone willing to build something in this illusory dream dimension will be revered by many sleepwalkers and, in the world of cultivation, would be considered a good person.

As Lu Yunhe walked along the Sky Street, the surrounding buildings presented two extreme concepts.

It is either extremely abstract and illusory, testing the boundaries of imagination; or it is extremely close to reality, almost a complete copy of reality.

Of course, these buildings cannot be constructed casually in Dream City; if one's consciousness is insufficient, one cannot sustain these buildings.

Therefore, those who are able to settle down in Dream City are generally quite powerful.

Those who are willing to settle here naturally have their own reasons.

The Dream Dimension traverses all realms, and the consciousnesses that come here may vary in strength, but they all serve a purpose.

You can exchange information with each other, and even buy and sell secret techniques. If you find that you are close to each other, you can also complete some private transactions.

Moreover, consciousness itself has a certain value; spiritual energy is also a kind of currency. If you can't offer something of equal value, you can use your spiritual energy as an exchange.

"Cloud Dream Tavern, Astral Know-It-All, Adela World Information Council..."

Lu Yunhe saw a lot of things. Although it was in a dream, he was still able to completely preserve the information on the spiritual level thanks to his cultivation techniques.

The most outrageous thing is that Lu Yunhe even saw someone on the street selling his world coordinates.

They must be from the astral universe, and they don't seem to have much power, so they simply sold the coordinates of their world in exchange for extraordinary knowledge.

There are quite a few people like this. After all, as long as they don't sell to the demons of the abyss, even if their own universe is conquered, it probably won't affect them.

Some can even hitch a ride and escape their original universe to a wider world.

This is an advertisement from someone who wants to buy cosmic coordinates. People who directly engage in cosmic trading are generally not good people.

Even if these natives cannot know the coordinates of their astral universe, the buyers have the ability to extract the corresponding information from their consciousness.

For example, Lu Yunhe...

Looking at the "person" in front of him, whose expression was a mixture of tension and ambition, Lu Yunhe also considered whether or not to buy it.

However, before Lu Yunhe could even make an offer, someone else had already made one and started talking to him privately.

Besides selling the coordinates of their own universe, some people are also selling the professional system of the main world.

However, items related to the main world are considered high-end, and many people hesitated but were still willing to pay the corresponding price.

"This is an extremely rare Destiny profession! If you miss it, you'll never find it again!" a dog-headed orc shouted at his makeshift stall.

"It is indeed too rare, so its value is not high."

"And it's only at the Iron level, with no future whatsoever."

……

There were quite a few people pacing around, but not many actually made any bids.

Fate-related professions are indeed rare and valuable, but firstly, the level is too low, and secondly, the buyers here are not suitable.

Either someone who hasn't yet embarked on a professional career might grasp at this straw, but they can't afford the price.

Either some people within a certain power structure can buy them to use as a foundation, but it's really not cost-effective.

Because the seller wanted the Shadow Assassin career path, they even dared to ask for a price up to the Silver level.

"I have a Shadow Assassin career path ranging from Iron to Bronze level," Lu Yunhe transmitted telepathically.

"this!"

The buyer was clearly hesitant, yet this was already the highest bid at the event.

That's right, others would at most be willing to trade a Black Iron-level Shadow Assassin for it.

While fate-related professions are valuable, the Shadow Assassin profession is clearly more widespread and easier to find a subsequent career path.

For niche professions like these, once you embark on that career path, it's like embarking on a road of no return.

Cultivation is difficult, advancement is difficult, and inheritance is difficult. Without sufficient aptitude and luck, one cannot go very far, and there is not much that can provide assistance.

"If you don't want to, then forget it!" Lu Yunhe said indifferently.

"Wait, I'm willing!" the seller quickly replied. He was just asking for an exorbitant price to see if any unsuspecting person would be willing to trade, and he didn't really expect to trade for a silver-level professional path.

"A fortune teller!"

Lu Yunhe checked the professional inheritance the seller was trading to him, and after confirming it, he handed over the Shadow Assassin professional inheritance to the other party.

"Thank you!" the seller said gratefully. He had been stuck at the Black Iron level for a long time and could not find a corresponding purchase channel in the outside world, so he could only try to make a transaction in the dream.

As for the fortune teller profession he unexpectedly inherited, he dared not take it on as a side job, because not everyone has the ability to cultivate two professions at the same time.

"I wonder which branch of the path of destiny the diviner leads to?"

Lu Yunhe bought it casually and digested the knowledge contained within it after just one glance.

His path to dreams also contains many fundamental threads related to destiny.

Even the highest-ranking profession is the Fate Seeker, who determines the fate of all beings.

Lu Yunhe then bought a lot of professional paths, but the highest level was only Gold. He didn't see anyone selling legendary professional paths.

Lu Yunhe's extravagant actions attracted the attention of some people, but seeing the Dream Eater Beast beside him, they all gave up some of their ulterior motives.

To be able to keep a Dream Eater as a pet, one must be quite powerful and of high status, not to mention that this is a dream world, where the Dream Eater's strength is further enhanced.

"Speaking of which, isn't there a city lord's mansion here?" Lu Yunhe wandered around for a while, picking up some decent items, but he didn't find any bargains.

After all, you can only trade knowledge-related things; if you can't understand them, you can't bring them in at all.

In dreams, transactions are generally based on mutual benefit, and it's rare to find a bargain.

“No, the master of this Dream City is very mysterious; no one has ever seen him.” Moqi shook his nose, as if sniffing something.

However, as a legendary beast, it's hard for anything to interest it anymore.

"That makes me even more curious!"

Lu Yunhe surveyed the Heavenly Street beneath his feet. The extremely sensitive spiritual light made him vaguely sense something related to the Origin Dao.

Lu Yunhe originally planned to build a dream city in this dream dimension, but it would probably take a long time to develop it.

After all, the dream dimension is simply too vast and elusive.

If you want to build a new dream city, it will be difficult to attract settlers in the early stages, not to mention the issue of trust.

While someone capable of building a dream city must have a good personality, nothing is absolute. Who can say for sure about cultivators? They might just be there to fish for trouble.

After all, it involves matters of the soul and will, so it's best to be cautious in everything you do.

Fortunately, Lu Yunhe was very skilled at using borrowed resources to build an empire from scratch, which was far too troublesome.

As a powerful cultivator, one always has some unorthodox methods to make money.

"Then let me build a shop too!"

Lu Yunhe's heart stirred, and a strand of his consciousness merged into the Heavenly Street beneath his feet. Instantly, he felt his consciousness being enveloped by another, even more ethereal power.

Under the influence of that ethereal power, Lu Yunhe was also able to manipulate a space on the side of the street to a small extent.

Because it is a dream, the external size of the space is fixed, that is, a normal store building of several hundred square meters, but the size of the internal space depends entirely on the size that the creator's consciousness can support.

If the interior space is smaller than the exterior, it can easily lead to the collapse of the store, indicating a lack of awareness.

Lu Yunhe didn't try anything unconventional; he simply chose a normal shop design. The shop name was:

"A Dreamlike Reality Experience Store!"

Upon seeing the name, passersby couldn't help but make a comment.

"Is it a joke to try to find reality in a dream?"

"A dream, isn't that just another reality?" Lu Yunhe was quite satisfied.

If you can't even distinguish between yourself and reality, then in a sense, isn't the latter reality?

That's right, Lu Yunhe directly brought over the virtual universe, Dream World.

In the already illusory dream world, a dreamlike realm simulating reality has been created; only Lu Yunhe could have done such a thing.

That being said, any cultivator with a bit of knowledge understands the significance of this statement, or rather, its significance in the context of a dream.

Cultivators aren't stupid, so they naturally thought of using the dream dimension for cultivation.

After all, in dreams, the flow of time and various environments can be set at will, making it a good place for learning and cultivation. However, the biggest problem is that it cannot give people a sense of reality.

Attracted by the word "reality," some people quickly chose to come and experience it.

Chapter 851 Virtual Dream World

"Shopkeeper!"

Out of curiosity about the shop, people soon chose to go there, but seeing the Dream Eater guarding the door, no one dared to cause trouble.

"welcome."

Lu Yunhe greeted him with a smile, carefully examining the dog-headed man before him.

Under Lu Yunhe's gaze, a hint of embarrassment instantly appeared on the kobold's face.

"It's you, isn't it? You've been following me all this way," Lu Yunhe said leisurely, instantly causing the kobold to scream in surprise.

"I...I'm sorry..." the kobold said hastily.

Ever since Lu Yunhe bought its "diviner" profession inheritance, the kobold has had its eye on him.
