Chapter 1279 1273: NDAE, Completing A Dream

Hearing the Empress' words, countless seniors, parents, comrades, and allies of the participants heaved a collective sigh of relief. They had watched as these cultivators spasmed or squirmed as if they were seizing and thought the worse, yet their tears, cries, shouts, and everything else out of desperation were left unanswered by the World of Eden. Moreover, during this period, they couldn't speak to anyone else within the World of Eden or the outside world as all voices were isolated.

They simply weren't allowed to act or interfere. Some Ascended beings who watched their blood descendants wreathed in pain tried to act, but they were instantly driven to a state of complete suppression by a raging flood of silver light from Baby Defiant. Fortunately, it only lasted five minutes, so the hearts and minds of those seeking to assist their loved ones were quickly relieved.

"Woah!" With all the happenings of the Neo-Dawn Alchemic Expo, especially with its relatively fast-paced and explosively sudden fortunes, it was hard for anyone to react to everything for an extended period. Now, everyone found their Avatars of the World of Eden submerged in a strange type of fluid.

The Everlore Association's area was completely cordoned off by Evergod. He refused to allow the fluid to touch any of them, yet he waved his sleeves as he brought out a unique container that exuded a sharp mental aura. Unfortunately, the vial tried to siphon the Pure Dream Liquid without any success.

Evergod furrowed his brows. Mental- attributed materials weren't rare in the Grand Cyclic Stellar Region. There were countless treasures, both of the heavens and man-made, that assisted one in cultivating their mind, expanding one's Sea of Consciousness, fortifying one's Mental Fortitude, and enhancing one's Well of Thoughts which affected memories and rate of thought-improving one's Psyche Talent. Furthermore, numerous products ranging from the first to ninth grade that helped do so.

Wei Wuyin had taken countless of these products to expand his mind to its limits, reaching a maximized cultivation base and increasing the quality and quantity of his mental energy; it didn't stop there either- some products assisted in reliving memories; there were evil products that erased memories, or products that outright controlled the Well of Thought. These products were difficult to refine, but they existed. Even the Echoing Stars of the Vastness Pill used mental-attributed materials as a secondary material to a natural Solar Star's quintessence.

Many of them used mental-attributed materials like the Pure Dream Liquid, and countless used man-made materials formulated by cultivating specific methods, arts, or spells.

"Is this liquid safe?" San Yongli asked the ancient expert in her mind. After withstanding five full minutes, she had achieved the goal of successfully earning a Neo-Dawn Star-Seed Pill. She was among the rare few as less than a thousand had succeeded-999, to be exact. Despite being low-tier amongst ninth grade, it had the greatest impact on one's cultivation in the Mortal Realms and provided a path that had long since been forgotten in the Sealed Regions.

However, this Pure Dream Liquid was refined by Wei Wuyin, and she was still doubtful if he had any nefarious intentions in distributing this material in the World of Eden.

While she remained indecisive about refining the material, those who were unconscious were siphoning the liquid by the boatload. Those affected with grotesque and debilitating mental demons that manifested as wraith-like spawns had these demons annihilated by the Pure Dream Liquid's purification properties. Those memories weren't removed, but they were severely lessened in terms of substantial existence. They faded away gradually from the forefront of one's mind, like a fleeting dream.

Pure Dream Liquid!

Considering that quintillions of youngsterswere madly absorbing the liquidunconsciously, the World of Eden'ssubmerged status was showing visible depletion.

Countless seniors noticed this and realized why the time limit was set to five minutes! If those awake didn't decisively make a choice, they might lose the experience! They didn't doubt Wei Wuyin after the Astralis Dawn Mist, a plethora of free resources, and radiance of enlightenment; they only amassed greed in their hearts and the desire to seize this chance!

But San Yongli was still hesitant! Mental- attributed materials were among the leading method of administering mind- altering poisons, especially if since it was hard to detect and directly infused into the mind. If Wei Wuyin decided to leave behind a hidden element in this liquid, it would be too late if she ever confronted him in the future.

"So cowardly!" The woman in her head mockingly scolded. However, this only served to cause San Yongli to frown deeply.

Meanwhile, Lin Ming didn't have as many qualms. The Pure Dream Liquid was like a cold beverage on a blazing summer day, and he unhesitantly absorbed it without much thought. Suddenly, he felt his mind experience several ephemeral dreams. Every dream lasted a few seconds but felt like days, and then he noticed that his Sea of Consciousness, Mental Fortitude, and Well of Thoughts had experienced substantial growth.

A wisp of greed surged in his heart. He began to wholeheartedly refine the liquid, ignoring the depressing state of his physical body.

Eventually, the woman in San Yongli's head could no longer remain silent after nearly two dozen seconds passed. "This is a rare opportunity! There's no hidden danger, so hurry up!" Despite giving five minutes, the Ascended beings were ruthless with absorbing the Pure Dream Liquid, including the top talents at the Qi Condensation Realm and the Starlords that didn't participate, and at this rate, it likely wouldn't last a single minute!

They didn't hesitate to enjoy the fifth fortune!

San Yongli bit her lower lip, and she decided to trust the woman, especially given her understanding of the Mind Dao was certainly greater than hers. She hurriedly formed a hand-seal and executed a Cultivation Method that she had obtained from an ancient relic ahead of a future Queen, an Earthly Saint-level Blessed!

The Cultivation Method was relatively high grade and assisted in cultivating using mental essences and materials. She had been executing it passively to obtain the benefits from the jade that contained the woman's soul, and now she was going all out!

Her rate of absorption exceeded some Demi-Mortal Lords, faintly reaching those Earthly Saints that had permanent Demi- Mystic States. When it entered her mind, she began to experience fleeting dreams, and the impression she had of her soul- crushing calamity, the explosion of a Secret World's Core that took her life, began to grow fainter and less impressive with each dream.

This Pure Dream Liquid was...MAGICAL!

Fortunately for everyone, Wei Wuyin had no intentions of playing any tricks with the Pure Dream Liquid. It was purely a test of its effectiveness once again, studying its effects. He hadn't delved too much into the Mind Dao that Eden was a part of, but he had experimented here and there during his past life. The Pure Dream Liquid was an artificial theoretical material that his debonair self had spent decades in sporadic bursts trying to invent and perfect. Unfortunately, he didn't have enough information on how to perfect it.

Wei Wuyin was simply applying the same theory of data collection and effectiveness to the Astralis Dawn Mist. It was extremely subtle, but the 108 quadrants of the World of Eden had 108 different types of Pure Dream Liquid. The Pure Dream Liquid was designed to rid one of their heart demons and ease the pain of one's suffering.

The past him couldn't exist for a single moment without being in horrendously agonizing mental pain, afflicted by the horrible memory of losing Kratos. Every second was painful, borderline enough to end himself. Debonair Wei Wuyin tried everything to alleviate this for the sake of revenge, and it was solely because of this that his cultivation base was so low despite his focus on cultivation, and he had no confidence in challenging the Third Calamity.

The scarred Wei Wuyin had wasted away a large portion of his life in drink and women, yet they both were 128 years old, and the debonair Wei Wuyin was only a single stage higher than the scarred Wei Wuyin. It was clear that his heart demon was debilitating to his growth.

This was a passion project of Wei Wuyin's, finishing a remnant wish of his other self, and he also wanted to have it just in case someone close to him ever experienced something traumatic. Wei Wuyin's early surgical operations using the Alchemic Eden Energy were heavily flawed. While he could remove the memories from one's conscious mind or outright replace them, it didn't lessen the impact on one's soul, only on one's conscious mind. The Pure Dream Liquid was meant to be gradual and more natural, slowly lessening the influence of any trauma on one's soul by immersing one in dreams that smoothly smother it.

Moreover, the surgery was dangerous because it could alter one's personality and leave one incomplete. Debonair Wei Wuyin desperately agonized over the decision to take that route but realized that doing so could cause his mind to be incomplete and affect his future cultivation path and personality. For example, it was as if an obese human suddenly had two hundred pounds of fat extracted from them; while they would be lighter, their bodies would seem incomplete.

An emotional light flickered through Wei Wuyin's eyes as he observed the World of Eden. He formed a few hand-seals as he changed the material's composition in several quadrants, causing 108 to be reduced to 30.

After the forty-third second, when 90% of the liquid was gone, Wei Wuyin had already reduced the quadrants to three. These three quadrants had the greatest degree of effect, and they had an abnormal purity.

The effects are increasing!" The woman's voice resounded in San Yongli's head with shock.

"What?" San Yongli diverted a small portion of her attention to the voice.

"Someone's altering the formula of this material in real time! This...this is incredible!" The woman was in utter awe as she inspected the properties and contents of the Pure Dream Liquid. It had already changed three times, and each time seemed to be a noticeable improvement, especially regarding purity and ease of refinement.

San Yongli felt panicked. Was Wei Wuyin playing a trick? She was about to end her cultivation session when the woman roared: "Don't stop! Absorb more! Don't let any of it go to waste!"

San Yongli could feel the urgency in her voice and decided to push through. While she didn't one-sidedly trust the woman, the woman's future was tethered to her own, so it would be detrimental to bring her harm. But she had to admit, the Pure Dream Liquid was becoming easier to refine, and the dreams were lasting longer, more effective in improving her mental talents with each fleeting dream experienced, and they became increasingly vivid.

By the sixty-third second, the submerged World of Eden was completely dry.

Wei Wuyin's eyes exuded a soft light. "I've completed your dream. I wish I could've taken your pain away using this and not my saber." At the time, Wei Wuyin didn't feel close to his alternative selves. They were possibilities that existed outside of his world, but after continuously going over the life experiences of Debonair Wei Wuyin, the greater he felt mournful that he hadn't found another way to complete the only wish of his life:

To kill Liu Yinlan.

Not the innocent Liu Yinlan of his world who had yet to act against him-no, the murderer of that world! The one responsible!!

THE ONE WHO TOOK KRATOS FROM HIM!!!

Suddenly, Wei Wuyin lifted his head upwards as a droning sound erupted from his rage-filled mind. A soft, faint aura of eternity exuded from his body, interfacing gently with his Minor Authority of Time tethered to his soul.

Wei Wuyin looked down at his left arm, and his pupils constricted violently. Around his left wrist was an esoteric formation with a foundation that he'd never seen before; it rotated, and while incredibly slow, it was gradually speeding up! Then, it vanished..

"What just happened?! Your Paragon Stellar-Physique felt strange just now. What was that?" The Heavenly War Spirit had been concentrating on her growth recently, but this disturbed her intensely.

Wei Wuyin shook his head, "I don't know." He gradually calmed himself down as he inspected the manifestation of his Minor Time Law. Nothing was out of the ordinary, and that formation had vanished from his left arm. He had no idea what just happened.

"Something happened though..." Wei Wuyin muttered

-----

In a place far, far away, in a world of only white, a voice resounded: "Haaa...this child. Didn't I say to be careful? You'll have to solve this karma yourself."

After a long while, another sigh was heaved. "Little river, give the child some time." After speaking, the entirely white world began to transform, becoming entirely blue.

-----

"...as you all expected!" Tian Xiaocheng had just given her practiced speech regarding the end of the fifth fortune, announcing another three-week break.

"The fourth product will be next; it'll involve a promise that the Alchemic Sovereign Wei had made that day! The product that is derived from the Heaven Relic!"

"!!!" The crowd began to stir upon hearing this. It was truly hard to react to all the news and fortunes here and there! But no one complained, as this was certainly the best Alchemic Expo since written history!
