The spiritual sword “whooshed,” like lightning, and immediately returned to its sheath.

Zhao Huai grasped the sword handle, taking a light breath, and a sharp momentum suddenly emerged with a wave of qi spreading out.

“Swish!”

At the moment the spiritual sword was unsheathed, the sky-reaching sword light instantly illuminated the quiet forest.

This sword was like a lightning bolt that tore through the night sky, breaking the darkness and lighting up the surroundings.

After the sword strike, Zhao Huai stroked the sword edge and quietly sheathed it.

Just moments ago, the wildly dancing vines that filled the sky all fell to the ground, and the deep forest was once again quiet.

A moment later.

The massive tree was cut in half at the waist, with a vast amount of green blood gushing out.

This was the true Sword Drawing Skill.

Steady and fast.

Ever since Zhao Huai received the blessing of the [Sword Skill Genius] and [Crystal Clear Sword Mind] destinies, his sword technique cultivation has surged like the rising tide.

The power of his Sword Drawing Skill has become several times stronger than before.

In front of him, the Hundred-year Tree Monster could barely last a moment. Zhao Huai looked at the tree demon cut in half without any ripple in his eyes, even feeling somewhat annoyed.

He couldn’t find the Lantern Woman and ended up finding a tree demon instead. What a failure.

Not long after, a strand of pure energy flowed out from the tree demon’s broken trunk and entered his body.

Zhao Huai felt extremely comfortable all over, as if he had just finished a bath, with his True Vigor extremely active, his cultivation slowly increasing, saving him a month’s worth of hard training.

Zhao Huai suddenly realized it was the [Slaying Demon] destiny that slowly activated.

His own offensive skills pose a great threat to demonic creatures, not only amplifying the damage, but also cultivating and growing by slaying each demon.

Zhao Huai gently smiled.

As good as the [Slaying Demon] destiny is, there are not that many demonic creatures to be found. One might not be able to find one even with the Demon-Viewing Eye open for a whole day.

“Fool, fool.”

The myna bird slowly flew down from the tree and landed on Zhao Huai’s shoulder, its beady eyes moving around, appearing very clever.

This fellow was smart. When it came to fighting, he was the first to run, the prime example of not being dead weight.

“You’re calling me a fool? It’s all the trouble you caused. Do you have the nerve?” Zhao Huai vented at the myna bird.

He then calmed down and thought quietly.

He felt that there were two important reasons why the Lantern Woman did not appear.

First, it could be the environment. Perhaps she could only affect people in the dream world and had no way of dealing with humans in reality.

Secondly, it was a matter of time. It might only be at night that she can appear.

Regardless, all of this was speculation.

If only he could connect dreams and reality together, Zhao Huai couldn’t help but think.

Yes! Dreams and reality!

Zhao Huai glanced at the scab on his arm, and an idea suddenly came into his mind.

Since the Lantern Woman liked to kill people in dreams, and the damage could be projected onto reality,

That meant she must have existed in reality too, only hiding in dreams.

Why couldn’t he bring her into reality then?

It should be possible in theory.

If the damage she caused could come to reality, there should be no problem in bringing her over.

Zhao Huai thought for a long time about the feasibility of this idea.

In the end, he felt it was worth a try.

The only thing he needed to be careful of was not to anger her in the dream world.

Zhao Huai observed that when the Lantern Woman was in her white state, she was harmless and wouldn’t hurt people.

But once the lantern turned red, she would enter a rampage state and start to kill.

As a precaution, he had to set up an alarm to wake himself up.

Zhao Huai looked up at the tree branches and thought for a while.

Sleeping on the tree would suffice; any significant movement in the dream would cause him to fall off the tree and wake up, right?

“Very well, let’s do it this way.”

Zhao Huai settled on a plan and decided to find a safe place to sleep.

The first place he thought of was Mingyin Temple.

It was relatively quiet there, with few people around, so even if he tangled with the Lantern Woman, he wouldn’t harm any innocent bystanders.

Soon, Zhao Huai was back near Mingyin Temple. After much deliberation, he chose a pine tree about a hundred meters away as his sleeping spot.

He also set up 81 thunder talismans around the tree.

Suppression Thunder Talisman, Slaying Thunder Talisman, Five Elements Thunder Talisman…

No matter what spirits and demons there were, they would have to taste the power of the thunder spells.

After making the necessary preparations, Zhao Huai was ready to enter the clream. Berore tnat, ne also t00K a 100K at tne result or tne copper com toss. The hexagram still showed “fortune,” indicating that this adventure was worth a try.

He leaned against a thin branch, remaining motionless, and slightly squinted his eyes.

Before long, he entered the dream.

In the dream, the moonlight was still dazzling, with layers of black clouds accumulating.

Zhao Huai arrived at the familiar forest, now shrouded in thick fog.

“I’m back again.”

This time, Zhao Huai was well-prepared and intended to deal with the Lantern Woman.

He walked to the familiar little stream, but before he could see the wooden house, he saw a woman in white crouching by the stream.

She was still digging mud, with the lantern on the side emitting a fiery light, but this time the location was different?

Zhao Huai approached her from ten meters behind, but she did not react at all, which puzzled him.

“Does she have no memory of me?”

Hadn’t they met before in a previous dream? Had that been wiped clean?

Ignoring his doubts, Zhao Huai slowly approached..
