cave was clearly within that mist.Unless one has attained the state of a blissful realm or can fly, it would be very difficult to enter the Sword Cave.After all, if one step is missed, they will fall...Whether it be the gathering domains of heavens or the annihilation domains, all that exists is but a dream conjured by a single nightmare beast! When that beast slumbers, its dreamscape births myriad worlds and countless beings.

But when it awakens, everything will vanish and cease to exist! Ginger Cloud had heard this legend more than once.

And his attitude also changed from the initial strong disbelief, thinking it was utter nonsense, to a gradual shift.

Because everyone I've ever mentioned this legend to has been incredibly powerful.

Everyone has such doubts, which also makes it hard not to believe.

Jiang Yun's body also had a rumored dream fruit from the mirage clan. After consuming it, one could wake up from a dream.

All of this, it seems, is evidence that can prove the truth of the legend.

Especially now, within the dream Jiang Yun himself has woven, he is essentially asleep, which is why Grandpa, Jiang Yue Rou, and the birth of everyone in Jiang Village came to be.

Once he wakes up, these people will disappear.

The only difference between this and the legend is that the people in his dreams lack free will, like puppets, their words and actions all controlled by him behind the scenes.

And in the nightmare beast's dream, all beings, including itself, possess their own consciousness and thoughts.

"What if, one day, my abilities improve even further and my dreams become more real Will the people who appear in my dreams also be able to have their own independent consciousness"

"And to achieve this, it's actually not very difficult."

"All I need is the true power of creation, the ability to bring life into being, and the power to infuse that into dreams. Then I can achieve it!"

"Well, can it really be done"

This is the question that Jiangyun thinks about every night.

Although he had come up with countless answers himself, he didn't know what the real answer was! —Ginger Cloud originally thought that Tie Ruonan might not be used to living in Ginger Village, which could be said to be a very simple life.

I thought she would stay for only a year or two before wanting to leave here.

To one's surprise, Tie Ru Nan seemed to be quite content with this kind of life, fully immersing himself in it.

She really treated herself as a member of Ginger Village, being kind and polite to everyone.

Even then, she would never ask to leave Ginger Village and go see a wider world. She simply stayed in Ginger Village every day.

Jiang Yun naturally couldn't see that everything Tie Runan had done was not a disguise, but came from the heart.

Just like she told Gingercloud, this is the life she wanted.

To the extent that every time Jiang Yun saw Tie Runan and those nonexistent people chatting and living, he couldn't help but think, if all this wasn't a dream, it was real life, how good it would be! Because, this is also the kind of life Jiang Yun wanted.

The sun rises and sets, spring gives way to autumn... Time flows by slowly in this peaceful yet tranquil life, and in the blink of an eye, more than five years have passed.

Five years, for a cultivator, might just be a single period of retreat, but for ordinary people.

Especially for ordinary people who need to work with their own hands to make a living, it is not a short period of time.

Five years passed, and the children who were once cradled in their mothers' arms were now running wild throughout the village. Five years passed, and the crops in the fields had been harvested and replanted again. Five years passed, and even though Tie Ruxuan still hadn't cultivated any spiritual power, a hint of feminine charm had begun to grace his face.

That night, Jiang Yun lay next to Tie Ruonan in bed as usual, preparing for sleep. However, Tie Ruonan suddenly rolled over and hugged Jiang Yun tightly.

Although the two appeared to be a couple to anyone who saw them, their relationship went no further than occasional skin contact.

At this moment, as the two looked at each other, Jiang Yun could clearly see the heat in Tie Runan's eyes.

However, Gingercloud didn't push away Tie Rumei. She remained calmly gazing at her, not even uttering a word.

Tie Ru Nan reached out and gently touched Jiang Yun's face, which had become rough from years of sun and rain. He said softly, "Big Brother, in fact, all of this, is just a dream, right"

"Ginger Cloud smiled and shook her head, extending her hand to gently rub Tie Ru Nan's hair. "It's been over five years now, how can you still have such thoughts"

"For these five years, day and night, we've spent them together. If this is a dream, isn't it too real, too long"

Then, Tie Ru Nan fell silent for a moment before saying, "Big brother, I only have six years left to live."

But now over five years have passed, logically speaking I should be dead by now, but I feel like I could live for a very long time!

If this isn't a dream, what could it be

Jiang Yun shook his head again. "Can't you feel your life force fading away"

Tie Rú Nán nodded and said, "Yes!"

"If it can be done, how can it be a dream!"

Perhaps, it's because we have left the Heavenly Gatherings Realm and arrived in this Lower Realm. The environments of these two places are different, so your life force dissipates more slowly!

Maybe it's because the pill my second uncle gave you wasn't just to add ten years to your lifespan, but twenty, thirty, or even more!

In short, although I don't know the specific reasons, wouldn't this be a good thing for both of us

Listening to Jiang Yun's explanation, Tie Ruo Nan remained silent for a long time before softly saying again: "Big Brother, will you always be with me until the day I die"

"Got it!"

Ginger nodded heavily, then let out a grunt, covering the glimmer of moisture that rose in his eyes. "Alright, stop overthinking things and go to sleep. I'll be going into the mountains with them tomorrow to hunt!"

"Um!"

After agreeing with a nod, Tie Ruo Nan suddenly kissed Ginger Yun's cheek. Before Ginger Yun could react, he buried his head under the covers! Ginger Yun was truly stunned by Tie Ruo Nan's sudden attack. She touched her face and froze.

Only after Tie Ruonan finally fell asleep did Jiang Yun turn over and sit up.

Looking at Tie Rú's face, which held a faint smile, Jiāng Yún's heart ached subtly. However, in her mind, an invisible thread vibrated slightly.

Such a feeling, Ginger Cloud hadn't felt it in a long time.

And he also knew that this was a sign that he was about to realize some kind of Taoist technique.

Even, he knew clearly that this imminent Dao technique was one of the Eight Sufferings, letting go of suffering! The Eight Sufferings were Dao techniques contained within a method called "The Human Way" that Ginger Cloud had learned after entering his master's school.

In "The Way of Humanity," there are three categories of Taoist practices: the Six Desires, Seven Emotions, and Eight Sufferings. Ginger Cloud has long since comprehended and mastered the Six Desires, Seven Emotions, and six out of the Eight Sufferings.

Only the two remaining afflictions among the Eight Sufferings, clinging and enduring resentment, were things he never truly comprehended! Since Ginger Cloud wove this dream for Tie Ruonan, Ginger Cloud had truly let go of cultivation and the identity of a cultivator, besides maintaining this dream.

He obtained his daily hunting grounds, harvests of food and beasts, all in the manner of an ordinary person.

He never expected that within such ordinariness, he would be on the verge of experiencing another bitter realization! In fact, he understood that this feeling stemmed from his own heart, which truly couldn't let go of Tie Ruxun. With a silent sigh, Jiang Yun stood up and quietly walked out of the room. Gazing at the surroundings that seemed like a frozen world, he slowly closed his eyes.

But just then, his eyes suddenly flew open, and a cold light, which hadn't appeared in a long time, flashed within them. He looked up at the sky.

There, appeared a figure!
