The ability to dream-traverse was discovered by dream masters.

By making use of their dream world, dream masters would be able to quickly locate other realms, allowing their True Spirits to descend and harvest the realm. This process allowed the dream masters to quickly advance and become more powerful.

However, all these were gone together with the lost of the dream dao.

"Strictly speaking, dream masters are not the only ones who can move through realms and locate other realms. Realms of higher dimensions are also able to do it to prey on other planes and harvest from them... However, the process of dream-traversing would consume the least energy and allow the dream traverser to gain more rewards, considering the energy exhausted."

Fang Yuan quickly arranged an array and started to think to himself. "We have lost all means of communication with the conquered realms. Why does this feel like the weakening of the United Kingdom leading to the independence of its colonies... Of course, the coordinates will never change. If one is willing to pay the price to start from scratch, I’m sure one will be able to find a similar traversing technique while making use of elemental force native to Da Qian instead of using dream elemental force..."

Previously, dream masters heavily guarded this technique to be able to increase their cultivation in a short period of time. Only the foolish would share such a valuable technique with their servants.

Now, it was time to spread this technique.

"Hehe... among all the recordings of the various dream masters, the coordinates of the realm is the most important thing in dream-traversing. I have indeed looted quite a lot from the Divine Lotus Cult this time!"

He was the only one in Da Qian who was able to dream traverse and no one was competing with him. This situation was extremely in his favour.

A tinge of excitement flashed in Fang Yuan’s eyes as he began to activate the array.

"Rumble!"

The space around the array shook and the surroundings started to change. It was as though Fang Yuan had arrived into outer space, floating in the universe. The milky way above him glittered brilliantly as each and every star shone brightly in the night sky.

"Every star here represents a coordinate of a realm which the Divine Lotus Cult have discovered. Now, all of these are mine!"

Fang Yuan lowered his head and stretched out his hand, attempting to touch the stars. Suddenly, something drastic happened!

The originally glittering milky way started to dim as the stars began to lose its glow.

"What’s happening?"

Fang Yuan’s expression changed. Slowly, he realised that even the realms which he had visited before, including the Water Realm, Hui Realm and Planet Earth Realm slowly became unusable, as though he had lost the connection with these past realms.

"What just happened... Did all the realms just disappear?"

He shook his head. "This is impossible! Therefore, it is not that the coordinates are unusable, but my original location... it has relocated!"

After opening the door which connected the Demonic Heart Realm to Da Qian and the changing of elemental force in Da Qian, everything else was possible.

Even a small change might result in a huge difference to a realm!

After all, the coordinates of the other realms were relative to the location of Da Qian. Now that Da Qian had shifted, the coordinates relative to Da Qian would change too.

"I’m afraid that Da Qian is now attracted by the Demonic Heart Realm and is shifting towards it. It would either become a follower realm to the Demonic Heart Realm or it might just be consumed in the long run..."

Fang Yuan finally understood everything. Although this might only happen in another thousand years, it was still unavoidable!

"The adverse consequences of opening up the door to the Demonic Heart Realm is only showing up slowly..."

Fang Yuan sighed as he started to locate his own realm’s location.

Without the accurate relative coordinates, Fang Yuan had to start from scratch! If he wanted to connect Da Qian with the previous realms he had visited before, he would have to spend an extraordinary amount of effort.

"If this is so, I might as well explore a new world! After all, if there are any changes to the dimensions around, this will mean that the neighbouring realms will also undergo changes! Regardless, there is potential everywhere!"

The dream-traversing technique of dream masters included not only the ability to locate realms but also to search for new realms. Sage Changli had demonstrated this before and had once directly searched the coordinates of the Demonic Heart Realm!

Unfortunately, it did not bring prosperity to Da Qian. Instead, it only brought disaster.

"Neighbouring realms are likely to be radiated by dream elemental force... This is a good thing to me, for I will be able to test out a few of my new ideologies!"

Fang Yuan’s eyes glistened with excitement.

...

Another month had passed.

Fang Yuan finally had a discovery after many in-depth investigations.

"Indeed... The surroundings of Da Qian are undergoing some changes... To put it in another way, we are now among a new foreign group of realms..."

The new realms confused Fang Yuan for they had the spiritual aura of the Demonic Heart Realm but seemed unaffected by it.

These realms were probably planes which feed on the energy of the Demonic Heart Realm. They were similar to Da Qian and were fortunate enough not to be consumed by the Demonic Heart Realm. Instead, they were developing quite well.

"It’s a pity... I can only accurate pinpoint the coordinates of one of these realms!"

Fang Yuan activated the array and felt as though he had arrived in the centre of the universe. A cluster of stars was spread across the vast space.

Unfortunately, these stars appeared illusionary and only had a hint of spiritual aura coming from them.

Only one of them was releasing a dim purple glow in a corner of the universe, resembling a purple eye.

"Do I really only have the coordinates of one realm?"

Fang Yuan sighed.

The exploration of new realms was like buying the lottery. Fang Yuan was fortunate enough to locate a coordinate within a single month.

On the other hand, the 5 Grand Organisations had sent groups of people and spent years and even decades to find nothing. This was the norm!

"This realm... is giving off an inauspicious vibe!"

Just by detecting the spiritual aura of the realm, Fang Yuan felt disappointed. The Purple Eye Realm gave him an eerie feeling and the sense of chaos. In that deep corner...

"No risks, no rewards. The more dangerous the realm is, the more my rewards will be! Furthermore... time passes extremely quick in this realm, which is suitable for me."

Without hesitation, Fang Yuan announced to his servants that he would remain in isolation. With anticipation, he pressed his finger towards the purple star.

"Rumble!"

The array crumbled and the entire universe started to fade away.

Fang Yuan crossed his legs. His True Spirit started to drift away and slowly disappeared...

...

"This is... such a twisted and chaotic realm!"

Fang Yuan had plenty of experience in dream-traversing.

However, never had he ever felt that a realm was so weird.

His True Spirit became a comet and flew through the membrane of the destination realm.

With that, a twisted and chaotic will started to overwhelm him as though it was about to consume him whole.

"This realm does not have a will... or could the realm be crazy?"

In that instant, a single thought flashed through Fang Yuan’s mind.

Twisted fragments flew across his True Spirit. Time started to warp and an image started to appear in his consciousness.

It was a dark-purple bronze door that stood tall and mighty.

Two ferocious ghost heads were biting on the frame of the door. The floating cravings on the surface of the doors were warped. They were the illustration of wronged souls crying in pain.

A blurred silhouette approached the door, placed its hands squarely on the door and gave it a firm push.

"Rumble!"

The door opened and behind the door was...

Darkness overwhelmed Fang Yuan. He was lost.

...

"Rumble!"

There was a torrential downpour and strong winds were blowing against the glass, making a screeching noise.

In an ancient-looking mansion in the secluded mountains, a man started to laugh hysterically.

"Haha... I’ve finally succeeded!"

He ran into the delivery room and carried a bloodied baby in his hands. He started to smile ferociously like an evil ghost. "With it, we can now resist against the curse on the Tantai Family!"

He was carrying a young boy in his hands. The baby stopped crying, opened its eyes and glared at the man carrying him as though he was looking at a stranger. In his eyes, there was a flicker of gold.

The young man shuddered as he observed the cold and heartless look on the baby.

"Juexin! Is it out yet?"

In the front yard, a group of people were waiting. They did not appear happy. Instead, they were looking towards the delivery room with a look of... fear?!

An old man holding crutches walked up and stroked the baby with his thin hands. The old man had a head full of white hair and a wrinkled face, as though he was on the brink of death. "He is naturally gifted indeed. Our collective efforts... and the descendant which we have created!"

"Father! Look..."

Tantai Juexin swaddled the baby and passed it to a female servant behind. "Think of a name for him!"

"A name, let me think..."

The old man spoke with composure. "The Taitai family has our rules. My generation name is ’Ghost’ and yours is ’Heartless’. His is ’Destruction’. Now that the skies are clear and the sun is bright, let’s name him ’Sun’! Tantai Mieming[1]!"

"Tantai Mieming! Great!"

Tantai Juexin remained emotionless as he waved his hands.

The servants seemed to be prepared as they walked up to clean the baby.

"Tantai... Mieming?"

The swaddled baby remained silent as it scanned the old faces around him. "Is this going to be my name for life? It seems like my family is rather impressive!"

"Is he... that thing?"

"The trump card which the elders have put in their all to create in order to resist the curse?"

"He represents... inauspiciousness!"

"Don’t let Little Four and Little Five get close to this baby. I don’t want to die in his baby’s hands even before I die to the curse..."

"Look at his eyes! He doesn’t even look like a baby!"

...

The relatives of the family started to look at Fang Yuan, no! They started to look at Tantai Mieming’s eyes which were filled with hatred and fear.

He was simply like... a demon!

"Interesting!"

Fang Yuan closed his eyes slowly. After all, he had just completed his dream-traversing and he needed to rest.

"This world... hmm? The elemental force in the surroundings is extremely sparse. Could it be another realm with harsh laws of physics? However, it feels different. Also, this body of mine..."

As the host of the body, Fang Yuan could feel that there was something wrong with it.

"It is physically stronger than the average body. Could this be what they are looking for?"

Recalling how his body’s grandfather had looked at him, he knew that he was not being seen as a grandson, but a ’tool’!

In other words, they had completed a certain ceremony to call for the arrival of a certain being!
