Chapter 162 Dreaming
When Yun Yici woke up from her dream, her first reaction was suffocation, and then she began to sink uncontrollably.
The salty seawater rushed into her mouth and nose, making it impossible for her to open her eyes.
Suddenly, a hand grabbed her, freeing her from this endless pain.
Yun Yici, due to inertia, tightly hugged that hand, and then immediately used the Water-Avoiding Technique the instant she regained her breathing.
She gasped for breath, still shaken, and when she realized she was clinging tightly to Shen Huaichuan's hand, her face flushed red and she hurriedly let go of his hand.
She had just been pulled out of the water by Shen Huaichuan. Her hair was wet, and her clothes clung to her body, revealing her exquisite figure. She looked like a beautiful and alluring water demon.
Yun Yici didn't have time to figure out what was going on. Reason told her that she was in control of the dream environment, so she quickly conjured up a clean set of clothes and tidied herself up.
Although Shen Huaichuan was blind, he still politely turned his back, only turning around when Yun Yici called him.
Yun Yici quickly regained her composure and looked at the surrounding environment, which was no different from the Ling Clan's sea area, in astonishment, saying, "What's going on? I thought the teaching environment in our dream was Wangchen Peak."
In the past, the scenery in her dreams was the snow-covered moonlit night of Wangchen Peak. She never expected that the environment would suddenly change today, so she was completely unprepared and almost drowned.
Shen Huaichuan said, "I don't know either. I was like this when I came."
“I initially thought this was your intention, until I noticed you struggling in the water, and then I realized I had misunderstood.”
The system, which had been eager to wag its tail and claim credit, now knew it had once again caused trouble for Yun Yici.
The system coughed a few times guiltily before whispering, "It's me. I heard you tell Huaichuan that you wanted to train in the sea, so I synchronized the new environment for you."
Yun Yici: "I'll punch you. Next time, give me a heads-up."
The dream environment was a near-perfect replica of the real environment, but she had neither water-repelling scales nor water-repelling robes in the dream, and relied entirely on her own consciousness to withstand it, so she didn't react for a moment.
Fortunately, Shen Huaichuan was there and pulled her out in time, which also shows that she was not used to the water environment.
No, where is this?
Yun Yici looked closely at Shen Huaichuan in front of her and noticed that he was radiating a gentle white light.
The light illuminated the deep blue seabed, and the area it touched was as dry as land, with no seawater able to get in.
Yun Yici was close to him at the moment, and it was thanks to him that she was spared from the erosion of the deep sea.
Yun Yici asked curiously, "Senior Shen, why is there no seawater where you are?"
Shen Huaichuan said, "You are now in my territory."
Yun Yici was shocked. A domain? A legendary thing that only big shots possess?
However, Yun Yici knew Shen Huaichuan's personality; he always shared everything he knew with her, so she didn't actively ask to learn any new areas.
The two rarely met, and Yun Yici, as usual, conjured up a table for them to sit at.
She first told Shen Huaichuan in detail what had happened during this period, and then talked about how she used the Lingwei Sword Formation to deal with Rong Yan.
Yun Yici looked at Shen Huaichuan nervously. The handsome sword cultivator sitting opposite her listened attentively but did not offer any opinion.
Shen Huaichuan only showed surprise when Yun Yici said that he had arrived in the Demon Realm and was now in the sea area of the Ling Demon Clan.
Shen Huaichuan said, "I have seen their clan's secret treasure. There is such a thing called Retrospection."
"The principle is not repair, but time reversal, restoring the item to its state before it was destroyed."
Yun Yici asked curiously, "Going back in time? If we could go back in time, wouldn't that be amazing? Even if it only lasts for a hundred years, it would still be very worthwhile."
Shen Huaichuan shook his head and said, "When I traveled to the demon realm, I saw a demon king forcing the Ling clan to repair his injured demon body."
"Unexpectedly, his demonic body collapsed and vanished into nothingness under the effect of the retrospection."
"Only the Lingyao clan's treasures can be used by them, and they can control the rewind of time."
"If they're used to repair the teleportation array, that's fine, but absolutely do not let them repair their physical bodies."
Yun Yici never expected this.
In fact, that was exactly what Ling Wan was planning: to trick Wen Fuyue and her group into seeking revenge against Wu Lin, and it would be best if they succeeded.
It doesn't matter if she fails, as long as Wu Lin is injured, she can use this opportunity to offer up the secret treasure to kill Wu Lin.
Little did she know that the emperor was extremely vigilant and directly signed her up as a servant.
Yun Yici repeatedly thanked Shen Huaichuan: "Thank you for your instructions, Senior Shen. I really didn't know about this."
Shen Huaichuan added, "I know there are teleportation arrays in other parts of the demon realm that lead to the human realm, but I don't know if they still exist after all these years."
"When you leave, I'll leave you a copy, just in case."
Shen Huaichuan originally wanted to say that he had made many friends in the demon realm and that he could ask them for help if needed.
But then I thought, I wonder if those people from back then are still around.
Moreover, he has made many enemies in the demon realm, so it's best not to cause trouble for Yun Yici.
Fortunately, he had been separated from Huai Chuan for a period of time in the demon realm, so there were still a few demons in the demon realm who knew Huai Chuan.
After the two finished reminiscing about the past, Yun Yici noticed that the system still hadn't issued any warnings, so she started talking to Shen Huaichuan about serious matters.
"The reason I conjured this sea area is that I realized that water is my weakness. If it weren't for the scales given to me by Chief Lingwan, I would have to fight while using the water-avoidance technique."
Yun Yici realized that the underwater environment was far too unfriendly to someone with a wind spirit root like her.
After all, where does the wind come from in the water?
It takes a lot of effort to painstakingly refine spiritual energy and maintain the circulation of spiritual power in the body, not to mention the resistance when wielding a sword.
Shen Huaichuan said, "Here, countless battles have become as natural as breathing, a habit for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the light around Yun Yici disappeared, and she fell back into the deep sea.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly this time and cast a water-repelling spell on herself. However, that wasn't enough, as a purplish-black octopus with countless suckers swung its tentacles at her from the water.
Yun Yici quickly dodged, but underwater, without the boost of wind spirit energy, her speed was greatly reduced.
She looked closely and realized it was the giant octopus they had seen when they returned from outside the Ling tribe.
Goodness, they've replicated it exactly as it was.
The octopus had so many tentacles that Yun Yici dodged one after another, deliberately squeezing into the gaps between its tentacles to lure it into tying its tentacles into a knot before finally subduing it.
Just as she was overjoyed, the system said, "Host, dinner is ready!"
Shen Huaichuan, who was "watching" her from within the domain, gradually blurred. Yun Yici opened her eyes and only realized what was happening when she saw the pure white interior of the seashell.
She sat up slightly from the seashell, turned her head to look outside, and saw Ning Tinglan standing outside, gently tapping the beaded jade beside the beaded curtain.
"Junior sister, the banquet is about to begin."
