Nine Yang Sword Saint - Chapter 299
Chapter 299: Dongfang Bingling’s Heart
Like before, Yang Dingtian was still unconscious, with both his eyes shut.
However, he was able to distinctively feel the arrival of the temple from the sea as it drew closer.
Ultimately, the temple came to a stop when it was about ten meters away from Yang Dingtian.
The temple’s door opened slowly as a human silhouette walked out. A radiance was shone upon her on her arrival.
Snow-white long dress with long silver hair. The person was emitting a radiance that seemed gentle yet dazzling.
Immediately, Yang Dingtian felt his body turning warm. The radiance on that person’s body seemed to have torn apart the darkness as it expelled the coldness from Yang Dingtian’s body.
Yang Dingtian was unable to see the face of that person and could only see their body curves.
Although Yang Dingtian couldn’t see their face, he was able to sense that it ought to be a stunning and elegant look.
If there were an angel or a fairy in this world, they ought to look like this woman before him. Yes, that person was indeed a woman.
Of course, the fairies or angels shouldn’t be young at all. Although they looked young, their face should still contain the signs of aging. Although they were immortals, their age would allow them to grow mature and tolerant.
The woman who was walking towards him was like a female angel that was mature, elegant, noble, and gentle.
She walked to Yang Dingtian’s side. She bent down and carried him and Dongfang Bingling up.
Her arms were extremely soft as if they were like clouds.
Yang Dingtian and Dongfang Bingling seemed very light while she carried them. It was as if they were like the cloud as well.
She carried their bodies and walked back into her temple unhurriedly after turning around.
Although they were extremely close to each other, Yang Dingtian was still unable to see her face. He was only able to see a pair of beautiful jade feet that wasn’t wearing any shoes as it threaded above the dark red sea surface.
***
She carried Yang Dingtian and Dongfang Bingling as she walked into the temple.
The temple wasn’t very huge but was filled with dozens of extremely large sculptures that looked like the Buddha statue. But after looking at them attentively, they didn’t seem to look like the Buddha statue.
Several praying mats were also placed at the center of the temple.
She placed Yang Dingtian above a praying mat and fed him a pot of water.
It didn’t seem like it was water. Rather, it somewhat looked like wine because it was warm after it had entered his mouth. Furthermore, it brought along a sweet taste.
Yang Dingtian’s physical strength and consciousness had gradually recovered after he drank a small portion of the liquid. He could finally move his body. Thus, he used his strength to open his eyes.
What he saw was exactly what he felt.
This woman gave Yang Dingtian a faint smile and spoke, “Fortunately, my temple had floated over. Otherwise, I would have sinned once again.”
The woman’s voice was extremely gentle, like her appearance. It sounded charming.
“You’re the Sage?” Yang Dingtian inquired.
“That’s what those people below addressed me as.” That woman replied, “You can also call me Tan Tai!”
Yang Dingtian commented, “If so, can you help me awaken this woman at my side?”
Tan Tai inquired, “What’s wrong with her?”
Yang Dingtian narrated, “She had sunk into her consciousness for too long and wasn’t awakened in time, causing her divine sense to stop working, and she was unable to wake up. However, her body was extremely healthy. Furthermore, she possessed a formidable cultivation.”
Tan Tai walked towards Dongfang Bingling’s side. Her beautiful eyes couldn’t help but glance towards her skirt as she discovered a patch of moisture on it.
Yang Dingtian commented embarrassedly. “I had fainted. Therefore, I was unable to take care of her.”
Subsequently, Yang Dingtian continued, “She has been unconscious for more than half a year. Can you still wake her?”
“Let me have a look.” Tan Tai replied. After which, she placed her jadeite hand on Dongfang Bingling’s forehead gently. She closed her eyes unhurriedly as if she were going to interact with Dongfang Bingling’s spirit.
In just a short span of several minutes, Tan Tai opened her beautiful eyes and said, “Her divine senses didn’t come to a halt. Rather, it had constantly been revolving. However, it was revolving at the depths of her spirit.”
Yang Dingtian was elated, “Then, can you wake her up?”
Tan Tai answered, “It’s somewhat troublesome. Although her divine sense didn’t come to a halt, it was trapped within an extremely deep dreamland that couldn’t be extricated. Although she can feel what was happening in reality, she would still think that it was just a dream. Therefore, she is being confused by dreamland and reality. Furthermore, she is somewhat unwilling to acknowledge what she had experienced recently. Thus, she got even more unwilling to wake up.”
“What?” Yang Dingtian was startled, “She knew all of the events that happened recently?”
Tan Tai replied, “Of course. It was like a dream; extremely clear and distinctive.”
Yang Dingtian replied, “What is she doing at the depths of the dreamland, then?”
Tan Tai inquired, “What was she doing before she submerged into her consciousness?”
“She was cultivating.” Yang Dingtian answered.
Tan Tai continued, “Then she is also cultivating right now in her dreamland. Furthermore, her advancement is extremely fast. Therefore, she simply did not wish to wake up.”
“What should I do then?” Yang Dingtian replied, “Your spiritual energy is formidable. Can you enter the depths of her spirit and wake her?”
Tan Tai commented, “I can enter her dreamland but can’t wake her.”
“Why?” Yang Dingtian was confused.
Tan Tai commented, “Because she will think that everything she experienced in the dreamland was a reality if I enter into her dreamland using my spiritual energy. No matter what I say, she will think that I’m interacting with her in reality. Are you able to understand my explanation?”
Yang Dingtian nodded, “I understand. After your spiritual energy had entered her dreamland, even if you tell her she’s stuck in dreamland and ask her to quickly awaken, she would still think that you are lying and harbor malicious motives.”
“Correct.” Tan Tai said, “This was similar to when a person suddenly tells you that whatever you had experienced for these few years is an illusion. Will you believe it?”
Yang Dingtian shook his head. Of course, he wouldn’t believe it.
“Right. No one will believe it.” Tan Tai replied, “Furthermore, the majority of the time, we can’t differentiate between dream and reality.”
Yang Dingtian inquired, “Sage, you really have no other way to awaken her?”
Tan Tai replied, “Theoretically, there is one way.”
“What way?” Yang Dingtian inquired hurriedly.
“Enter into her dreamland and stimulate her with those impossible events, causing her to doubt the authenticity of what had happened. This way, she will be able to wake up.” Tan Tai replied.
“What kind of impossible events?” Yang Dingtian inquired, “For example, a dead person suddenly coming back to life? Or perhaps I defeated her in her dreamland when I was originally just a weakling?”
“Are you her match in reality?” Tan Tai inquired.
“Nope.” Yang Dingtian replied.
Tan Tai commented, “If so, you will never be her match in the dreamland as well because you wouldn’t believe how formidable you are as well. As for the events you had just mentioned, a dead person coming back to life and appearing before her, this ought to give her an extremely huge stimulant. However, I couldn’t guarantee that it would be enough to wake her up.”
Yang Dingtian replied, “Then what kind of events would be able to stimulate her awakening immediately and let her be aware that all of that was just a dream.”
Tan Tai replied, “I’m unable to say what kind of events could achieve it. The best would be those non-existential events happening before her where it’s totally preposterous and unpragmatic.”
Yang Dingtian replied, “Couldn’t we just create an unrealistic event in her dream? Like for example, the fall of two daytime or the annihilation of the world.”
Tan Tai replied, “Then have you experienced the fall of two daytime or the annihilation of the world?”
Yang Dingtian shook his head, “Of course not.”
“Any events or objects you hadn’t seen before wouldn’t be able to emerge in the dreamland.” Tan Tai commented, “The human brain is lacking imagination and can only put together people, objects or events that they had experienced before. They can’t compose something without foundation. Furthermore, even if you’re able to compose the fall of two daytime and world annihilation, she could possibly think of this as reality and might even die from it. If she felt that she had died while she was in the depths of the dreamland, her brain would order her body to go towards a dead mode. After that, she would be truly dead.”
Yang Dingtian was astonished. Unexpectedly, the consequences were so terrifying.
Subsequently, Tan Tai continued, “Once you enter her dream, you will also enter a dreaming state. When you are in the dreamland, you wouldn’t be bold and imaginative and would not be omnipotent. Your abilities might perhaps become somewhat exaggerated than reality. However, it will never exceed a certain boundary. It’s similar to when you couldn’t fly but dreamed that you could fly. However, when you’re dreaming, you will discover that you are basically unable to struggle free from the gravitational force of the earth, even if you dream of flying. Or perhaps, your flight would be extremely indistinctive because your brain had no memories of you flying. Therefore, it couldn’t compose the event in the dream detailedly. Even your abilities would be within a certain boundary. It was especially so for your point of view. All of it would be within the boundaries of reality.”
Yang Dingtian nodded his head after listening to Tan Tai’s explanation. There would definitely be a certain boundary of omnipotence. Or it could even be extremely indistinctive.
Subsequently, he suddenly recalled something as he inquired hurriedly, “Sage Tan Tai, you said that so long as something unpragmatic to this world were to happen before her, it would be able to awaken her. Is that right?”
“That’s right.” Tan Tai replied.
Immediately, Yang Dingtian’s heart leaped. This prerequisite might be impossible for anyone in this world. However, it was extremely easy for Yang Dingtian to achieve it.
Immediately, Yang Dingtian replied, “Sage Tan Tai, I might have a way. Can you let me enter her dream immediately?”
Tan Tai frowned, “You sure you want to enter? It’s extremely dangerous.”
Yang Dingtian couldn’t help but inquire, “What kind of danger?”
Tan Tai replied, “Because once your spirit enters into the depths of her divine sense, you will remain unconscious forever unless you can awaken her.”
“What?” Yang Dingtian cried out immediately.
“The depths of the divine sense is like an unbreakable prison. Once your spirit enters, your spirit will be trapped in there forever unless she awakens due to the world annihilation where she had to foresee herself.” Tan Tai continued, “Furthermore, the most dangerous point was that if she were to kill you in her dreamland, both of you would remain unconscious forever.”
Yang Dingtian almost wanted to cry out again.
The consequences were too terrifying. If he couldn’t awaken Dongfang Bingling, he would remain unconscious forever as well. If he were to be killed by her, he would remain unconscious forever as well. If so, it wouldn’t be any different from being dead.
Dongfang Bingling was a person with an unyielding determination. It would be tough for him to convince her. Of course, Yang Dingtian was quite confident in awakening her. It was impossible to compose an event and object that was unrealistic. However, it was indeed extremely easy for Yang Dingtian to achieve this.
However, it was difficult to prevent Dongfang Bingling from killing him.
Previously, Tan Tai had said that Dongfang Bingling was aware of what had happened in reality. However, she had merely felt that all of these were a dream. However, the scene of Yang Dingtian washing her butt when she urinated herself should have been imprinted in her mind extremely clearly.
Dongfang Bingling was extremely proud. Such a scene was a massive humiliation to her. Therefore, she would immediately kill Yang Dingtian due to shame once she saw him.
If he weren’t killed by her in reality, but rather in her dream, he would truly die of persecution.
He inhaled a deep breath of air and closed his eyes unhurriedly as he threw away all the distracting thoughts in his mind.
Yang Dingtian replied resolutely after opening his eyes again, “Sage Tan Tai, I have decided. I’m going to enter her dream and awaken her.”
“You sure?” Tan Tai inquired.
“I’m sure.” Yang Dingtian confirmed resolutely.
“Alright.” Tan Tai replied, “Follow me.”
After she spoke, Tan Tai walked to the back of the temple leisurely while Yang Dingtian followed suit as he carried Dongfang Bingling along.
Tan Tai gently pushed open the back door and walked in. Yang Dingtian followed in as well.
Inside was a pool.
The water was extremely clear like a mirror, and dazzling radiance was being emitted out from the water.
Countless light threads within the water were circulating around after Yang Dingtian paid close attention to it.
Correct, they were the threads of lights. The threads were as thin as the hair and were only about two to three inches long as the threads roamed around the water.
“These are the Threads of Destructive Footprints. It is a kind of vital energy and doesn’t have its own consciousness. However, it can easily bind a person’s spirit and consciousness to another person.” Tan Tai explained.
Yang Dingtian was astonished immediately. Wasn’t this similar to the optical cable used to transmit data on earth? It’s just that the optical cable was used to transmit data between computers. Meanwhile, the Threads of Destructive Footprints were used to transmit spiritual information between humans.
Tan Tai suddenly inquired, “You’re a man, and she is a woman. Are you close to each other?”
“I’m not sure.” Yang Dingtian replied, “Why’re you asking this?”
Tan Tai explained, “Because when you enter the pool, you will need to take off all your clothing. Furthermore, countless Threads of Destructive Footprints would bind your body together tightly. If you aren’t close with each other, it will create unpleasant consequences.”
Yang Dingtian immediately replied, “We aren’t close with each other, and we aren’t lovers. Nominally, we are fiancee and fiance. However, we view each other as enemies in reality.”
Immediately, Tan Tai gave Yang Dingtian a glance, “Understood. Go and take off your clothes.”
Yang Dingtian gave Tan Tai a slight hesitant glance before taking off all his clothes and revealing his slender and well-built body. Although Tan Tai was a woman, Yang Dingtian’s attitude was still extremely magnanimous because it was extremely hard for him to think of Tan Tai as an ordinary woman. She had already transcended from being differentiated by gender.
Subsequently, Yang Dingtian had also undone Dongfang Bingling’s clothing.
“Carry her up and stand at the edge of the pool.” Tan Tai replied.
“Yes.” Yang Dingtian carried Dongfang Bingling’s delicate body and stood at the edge of the pool. He could possibly fall into the pool at any point in time.
“Because she was residing in her dream and thought of it as reality, there weren’t any active defenses on her spirit. Later on, she will think that all the scenes playing to her were reality. However, your spirit is currently filled with vigilantism and defensiveness. If you wish to enter into her divine senses successfully, you will have to loosen all your spiritual defensiveness and go into a defenseless state.” Tan Tai explained, “Of course, you wouldn’t be able to achieve this yourself. However, my spiritual energy will destroy all of your defenses and let you be spiritually defenseless against me. I will guarantee not to delve into any of your secrets. However, you need to trust me. If you trust me, I will start my bestowing technique.”
“I trust you.” Yang Dingtian replied.
At the same time, Yang Dingtian spoke inwardly, “Master, defend my divine senses. Don’t let any spirit enter.”
“Alright.” Dongfang Niemie replied.
Subsequently, Yang Dingtian shut his eyes unhurriedly, “Sage Tan Tai, you can execute your technique.”
“Alright.” Tan Tai advanced for a few steps and stood behind Yang Dingtian. She stretched out her jadeite hand and placed it on Yang Dingtian’s head.
“Whoosh…” Immediately, a radiance shot out from her jadeite hand and illuminated into Yang Dingtian’s brain.
Instantly, all of Yang Dingtian’s spiritual defense melted away cleanly like the snow encountering the scorching sun.
Meanwhile, Yang Dingtian felt extremely comfortable. All of the pressure, exhaustion, and sorrow had vanished away.
His whole body was as light as the feather as if it were about to float up.
His whole body and spirit were in a relaxed state, as he was unable to resist the sleepiness. Hence, Yang Dingtian shut his eyes again without any defense as he fell asleep.
As he fell asleep, Yang Dingtian hugged onto Dongfang Bingling and fell into the pool.
Immediately, countless Threads of Destructive Footprints moved over as they wrapped Yang Dingtian and Dongfang Bingling together tightly.
Yang Dingtian and Dongfang Bingling were stuck close to each other like conjoined twins. It was as if every inch of their body were breathing mutually.
Although they were bound together tightly, the countless Threads of Destructive Footprints didn’t give them any painful feeling. It was as if Yang Dingtian and Dongfang Bingling had intertwined with each other on their own accord.
All of the Threads of Destructive Footprints within the water were wrapped around their body. After which, they turned into layers of radiances as they entered into their bodies.
Immediately, fascinating radiances were being emitted out from their bodies.
Of course, there wasn’t any pain or damages because these Threads of Destructive Footprints were vital energies and weren’t an entity itself.
The two intertwined bodies grew brighter and brighter.
“Bam…” It was as if Yang Dingtian had time traveled and reincarnated into the dreamland as the world fluctuated.
Yang Dingtian felt that the scenery before him was rapidly changing before it turned into an extremely glaring white light.
“Whoosh…” Yang Dingtian had entered into the depths of Dongfang Bingling’s divine sense.
