was the same one-horned giant python that had been knocked to the earth earlier, appearing as lifeless as a corpse.Before the monk's body could even stand firm, the perpetually motionless one-horned...At this time, the old man of cause and effect continued, "Of course, they entered the sacred object not with their true selves, some were just a divine consciousness, some were just a sliver of a soul."

After all, rashly entering someone else's territory, especially that of a powerful being, could still pose some danger, even for those within the Four Realms.

"A powerful being's territory"

Hearing this, Ginger Cloud couldn't help but interject, "This great being, should it be referring to the Nightmare Beast"

The old man who represented cause and effect nodded and said, "That's a good understanding!"

Jiang Yun took a deep breath and asked again, "So what you're saying is that this Ten Thousand Heavens Realm, including all the Lower Realms, is actually just a dream of the Nightmare Beast"

And we, are merely illusory lives created in the nightmare of a demon

The answer from the Old Man of Cause and Effect finally made Ginger Cloud realize that the legend about this world being a dream was true, it wasn't a legend at all, but fact! Even though he had actually thought about it long ago, hearing the confirmation from the Old Man of Cause and Effect still made Ginger Cloud a little hard to accept.

"Bang!"

However, just as Jiang Yun's voice fell, the Old Man of Cause and Effect suddenly raised his hand and slapped Jiang Yun on the head.

This palm strike came out of nowhere. Completely unprepared, Jiang Yun was stunned, staring blankly at the Cause and Effect Elder, unable to understand why he would attack him for no reason.

The old man who caused it also looked at Jiangyun and asked, "Does it hurt"

Gingercloud was slightly taken aback, touched her head, and nodded, saying, "It hurts!"

The old man with a twinkle in his eye said, "Since you know pain, it's clear you're not dreaming!"

Jiang Yun couldn't help but laugh, "Senior, who said that being able to feel pain means it's not a dream"

The old man, still smiling, said: "You look at problems too narrowly, so your understanding of many things is too superficial."

"In your dreams, and reality, they are completely different. There is a strict boundary between them, even to the point of being opposed to each other."

But in reality, why can't dreams be real

Why can't reality be a dream

Why must there be a clear boundary between the two

You wove sixty years of dreams for that little girl. You knew they were dreams, and you thought they were just dreams. But for that little girl, they were sixty years of reality!

This statement left Jiang Yun speechless once again.

He wasn't surprised that the old man knew he had woven dreams for Tie Runan, but rather the old man's words were something he himself had considered before.

Even, for a period of time, I preferred to believe it wasn't a dream but another chapter in my life! The Old Man of Karma continued, "Many things are not simply black and white, true or false!"

"When feigning truth, truth itself becomes false. This is not without reason."

But you can't blame yourself, your cultivation level is too low, so your vision and thoughts are restricted.

Not even you, I daresay. Few creatures in this entire world truly understand this!

"Even, some people actually already understand, but they still pretend to be clueless."

"Everyone is drunk, and I am the only one who is sober!"

The old man of cause and effect shook his head, closed his eyes, but a hint of contemplation slowly appeared on his face.

Ginger Cloud didn't pursue the question any further. Instead, she quietly recorded the old man's words in her memory.

When one day, when one's own strength is strong enough, perhaps one will understand the meaning of Laozi's words.

However, there was one thing Ginger Cloud could already be sure of: no matter if this world was a dream or not, and whether she herself was illusory or not, this world definitely had a supreme being - the Nightmare Beast! And the Four Realms Hidden was another world outside this one.

After a long silence, the Old Man of Cause and Effect opened his eyes again and looked at Jiang Yun: "About these matters, I can only say so much. Now let's continue our previous conversation!"

The beings in the four realms, they entered this world because they were not their true selves, so their power was limited.

Furthermore, every realm has its own unique laws.

To put it simply, those people were used to living inside the Four Realms. Suddenly entering the Heavenly Realm, they might feel out of place and their states wouldn't be very good.

Some people fall into a coma, some lose their memories, and some even die outright, thus starting anew in this world, with new lives.

Your grandfather's case is the latter.

"I think you still remember the special abilities your grandfathers possessed, right"

Jiang Yun nodded and said, "Of course I remember, the power of dreams."

"No no no!"

But the old man of causality shook his head and said, "Another one of his abilities."

Jiang Yun was stunned and said, "Reincarnation power"

The Nine Extinction Clans, each possessing unique abilities.

In addition to the power of dreams, the Ginger Clan also possesses the power of reincarnation.

But this power, throughout the entire Ginger clan, can only be possessed by one person.

This person, known as the Spiritual Master of the Ginger Clan, could use reincarnation power to make all the memories and cultivation of each lifetime form a reincarnation seal, condensing it onto their next life.

> Once the seal is broken, one can obtain its inherent cultivation and memories.

At this moment, hearing the old man of Cause and Effect mention his grandfather's reincarnation power, Jiang Yun vaguely understood something.

"Grandpa didn't actually die because he has the power of reincarnation"

"But, Grandfather gave all of his reincarnation power to me!"

"The old man of cause and effect gave Jiang Yun a white look and said, "I've told you, your grandfather came from the hidden realm of the Four Boundaries! "

"What he gives you is merely the power of reincarnation within this world."

Besides, this mirage is real. It's a sacred artifact of the Mirage Clan. What they call death is actually returning to the mirage and entering a temporary state of hibernation.

"As long as they have enough dream power to replenish, they can awaken again."

Speaking of which, it was still your sixty-year dream that gave your grandfather the sign of waking up.

And besides, in that dream realm, the nightmare beast's intrusion into dreams, by a twist of fate, completely awakened your grandfather!

A look of sudden realization appeared on Jiang Yun's face, and he finally understood the reason and process behind his grandfather's appearance! The sixty-year dream he had woven for Tie Runan had unknowingly helped his grandfather.

Entering the dream realm, with the emergence of the nightmare beast, it truly did send me into a dream, but also completely awakened Grandpa.

Therefore, Grandpa made himself a dream for Qingming Festival, even devouring the nightmare beast before leaving, allowing him to wake up from the dream as well.

This means either his strength was exhausted, or he remembered his true identity, or the Nightmare Beast discovered who he really was and forced him to leave here and return to the Four Realms.

Jiang Yun was also more inclined towards the last possibility. It should be that Grandpa, in order to protect himself, swallowed the Nightmare Beast, and as a result, was detected by the Nightmare Beast.

After all, this land belongs to the Nightmare Beasts. Grandpa isn't his opponent! Now that he understood this, Jiang Yun's heart felt clear.

The grandfather is still alive, this is wonderful news.

However, Ginger Cloud still had several questions she couldn't figure out.

He looked at the old man of causality and asked, "How did that grandfather find you"

Are you and Grandpa old acquaintances

After a moment of silence, the old man of cause and effect shook his head. "Although I know the mirage clan and have heard of your grandfather, I am not acquainted with him!"

"Some of what I just told you was from your grandfather, he asked me to pass it on!"

Jiang Yun's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the old man of cause and effect and saying: "Then why did you come here to save me"

"Haha!"

The cause-and-effect old man stroked his beard and said, "This, of course, is a benefit your grandfather gave me enough!"

"Alright, although I did save you, I also have to remind you that what I just said to Xun Tian and everyone else about having your back was just empty words."

Maybe they're too afraid to touch you anymore, but if they do, there's nothing I can do to help you.

"Because, I have to leave this place too!"
