Chapter 1884: The Pine Flowers

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Su Mo’s spiritual intention had constructed a palace dream. However, his palace was vacant and he did not manage to invite his four visitors into his dream.

“It did not work!” When Su Mo realised the ineffective outcome, he immediately increased his mental capability to push his fighting spirit to the peak.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

There were bright, beaming lights and four shadows appeared simultaneously in the palace. They were Baili Liqing.

Once he retracted his fighting spirit, he stood rooted to the ground and watched the four men in silence.

The foursome’s sluggish faces gradually transformed and their eyes swiftly regained their sparkle and vitality.

Their youthful looks had been restored.

“This is …!”

When they regained consciousness, the four men were a little confused. Obviously they had still remained in their dream and were yet to return to reality because the length of time they had spent in the dream was substantial.

In a few short moments, the foursome had completely returned to reality. Facing one another, they did not know what to say. However, their eyes displayed their fear.

“Brother, you saved our lives earlier?” Baili Liqing turned to query Su Mo. He realised he was able to regain consciousness after he had been pulled out of his dream and made to enter a palace.

He knew his benefactor was the person standing in front of him.

Gao Haoran, Fan Yunsheng and Zi Man also focused on Su Mo, they were bewildered.

“Yes!”

Su Mo nodded and admitted graciously, however he withheld his true identity.

He knew he would have to conceal his identity for a long time in the future.

“Thank you, Brother, for coming to my rescue, otherwise the consequences would have been disastrous!” Baili Liqing appreciated sincerely.

He moved clumsily up the mountains. In his recklessness, he had struggled in his dream and was nearly trapped inside.

“You are welcome!” Su Mo reciprocated Baili Liqing’s gratitude, he felt that this was a fine man, he hoped they would have an opportunity to exchange learnings on the Natal Spiritual Sword.

“Hi Brother, how did you free me from the dream?” Gao Haoran asked with a puzzled look on his face.

As he had known, few people would be able to offer assistance to lead them out of the Ancient Dream Forbidden Land. One had to rely on one’s strong will to do so.

“I have my strategy. I am able to construct a virtual space to pull you back to consciousness!” Su Mo replied gruffly.

“Oh, I see. It’s quite amazing!” Gao Haoran remarked with a glitter in his eyes. It was a wonder that this guy had such amazingly superb prowess. Even when he ignored Bodhisattva Xuan Zhen’s advice, he was able to enter the Ancient Dream Forbidden Land despite his low cultivation.

He muttered quietly. If he could have a journey companion like him, it would ensure their safety.

After all, to enjoy unimpeded access to this place, one could not rely too much on the levels of their cultivation and prowess.

“Brother, thank you for saving us. However it’s dangerous to be in the Ancient Dream Forbidden Land. Given your low level of cultivation, your life could be endangered. How about you allow us to be your travel companions? We can protect one another!”

Fan Yunsheng scrutinised Su Mo and said in a low, deep voice. He shared Gao Haoran’s thoughts. If they were able to journey with the youth, they would be able to mitigate the risk in the Ancient Dream Forbidden Land.

“That’s true, we shall travel together!” Zi Man, who stood beside Gao Haoran, agreed with the suggestion.

Su Mo, upon hearing this, gave it a quick, solemn thought, he nodded and agreed. “Sure!”

It would be beneficial for the foursome to journey together. Unity was strength, and that would increase the chances of finding the Ancient Dream Grass.

“Haha! This is the best option!”

Baili Liqing offered a smile and turned to Su Mo. “Brother, may I know how to address you?”

“Just call me Shangguan Hao!” Su Mo told them.

“Brother Shangguan, this is not an ordinary mountain. Previously there were people coming to pick Pine Flowers. We shall go up the mountain together quickly, just in case other people pluck all the flowers!” Baili Liqing chipped in.

“What is a Pine Flower?” Su Mo asked.

“The Pine Flower grows on this land with its indomitable spirit. It’s a rare treasure. Its status is similar to the Ancient Dream Grass!” Baili Liqing added.

“What advantages does it bring?” Su Mo questioned.

“There are many advantages. The Pine Flower is formed from the power of belief. It can strengthen the Spiritual Soul. It’s a treasure to Bodhisattva and a gem to us!”

Fan Yunsheng explained. He shook his head gently and teased, “Shangguan Hao, your cultivation is not as high, and not well-exposed, you have little understanding of how it works, and yet you have the guts to enter this mountain. The ignorant are indeed fearless!”

Su Mo ignored him, he could hear the spite in Fan Yunsheng’s tone. If he had not saved him, Fan Yunsheng would not have travelled with him.

Su Mo did not offer any rebuttal. He could not be bothered with him.

They moved as a group, navigating through the thick bushes and headed for the mountain top.

Along the journey, Su Mo had been thinking to himself. His Dream Realm Fighting Soul could help people leave the dream realm, but could that have helped him?

If he had been activating his Dream Realm Fighting Soul, could he had been able to prevent from entering the Dream Realm?

This was quite possible. However, up to this instant, the Dream Realms were pretty straight-forward and he had no need for such a high level of prowess.

This mountain was gigantic. Although the people were unable to fly, several of them had moved quite swiftly to conduct a painstaking search on the mountain.

Not long after, a few men reached a level ground in the mountains, this space emitted the strongest sense of willpower.

“It’s the Pine Flower!”

Baili Liqing, walking in front, suddenly exclaimed with excitement.

The group looked in his direction and saw four pure white flowers growing under a strain of sturdy vegetation.

The petals of the flower formed a small bowl and they were held up by some strong white stems.

Everyone was delighted, they felt fortunate to see four Pine Flowers appear in a cluster. It was an auspicious sign.

Swish swish swish!

At that instant, three swift shadows few towards the Pine Flowers from the other direction.

“You are courting your end day!” Fan Yunsheng was enraged that the intruders would think of snatching their precious find away.

Whiz!

A long spear appeared in Fan Yunsheng’s hands. He used it to sweep across the air. A confident beam of light from the weapon, wrapped as a mighty force, was sent to the three strong opponents.

Swish swish swish !

As Fan Yunsheng delivered his first attack, the trio consisting of Baili Liqing, Gao Haoran and Zi Man, hastened its pace to reach the Pine Flowers.

Bang bang bang!

The skilful beam of light from the spear directed towards the three strong opponents. They struck to destroy the beam and sent horrifying air waves in all directions.

However, due to the solidifying air space and the secretive force compression on the mountain peak, there was not much destruction to be seen.

Once the three intruders were stopped, they missed the opportunity. The four Pine Flowers had been plucked by Baili Liqing and his team.

“Hand over the Pine Flowers!”

The opponents, comprising of two young men and a middle-aged man, did not give up easily. They surrounded and looked severely at Su Mo and his gang, each waiting to pounce on the object.

“Don’t even entertain a thought of trying to snatch away the treasure in our hands! You will be courting your own deaths!”

Gao Haoran revealed his intention to kill the intruders. The opponents were green Martial Sages, and he showed them no respect.

Just as the words left his mouth, his momentum surged. A majestic force soared upwards and agitated the storm clouds, which in turn stirred up a strong gale of wind.

The three intruders were taken aback upon seeing the change. They exchanged glances among themselves and moved backwards slowly. They left hurriedly.

They were smart to recognise that the power Gao Haoran possessed was of substantial strength, surpassing those Martial Sages in the middle level.

Therefore, they departed without hesitation.

“Imbeciles! They have no ounce of fighting spirit!” Fan Yunsheng sneered with disdain and approached Baili Liqing and the other two.

Su Mo was standing behind and from further away, he too moved towards the trio.

“Brother Baili, please give me one Pine Flower. We will each have one, it’ll be just right!” Fan Yunsheng came beside Baili Liqing and requested politely.

There were four Pine Flowers, Gao Haoran and Zi Man had already laid their hands on a flower. Baili Liqing had taken two flowers, hence Fan Yunsheng asked him to share.

“This…!”

Baili Liqing was hesitant when he heard the request. He took a peep at Su Mo, trudging behind the others, and asked:”We have five people. How can we divide the four Pine Flowers among the five of us?”

“Hehe! Of course the four of us should get a flower. Shangguan Hao’s cultivation is still low, the Pine Flower will not give him any benefits!” Fan Yunsheng giggled. However, in a flash, he remembered Shangguan Hao had saved his life earlier. He continued, “When we find further treasures, we shall share with him!”
