Cultivation : I'm an Ancient Giant Bear

Chapter 273: Dream Within a Dream (Part 2)


"Mother, is that you?"

Wang Wu was very excited but even more clear-headed. He was very certain that this was not an Illusion Realm.

"It is me, but not entirely me. This is just a trace of my soul left in the Inheritance Soul Jade. As your strength grows, there is a chance you will dream of me."

"A dream, this is a dream?"

"My son, do not dwell on this. When you grow old, your soul too will leave an imprint in the Inheritance Soul Jade. When someone outstanding appears among your descendants, they will also meet you in their dreams. This is a treasure passed down through our race since ancient times."

"What kind of treasure?" Wang Wu was very curious, thinking it sounded amazing, but the problem was, he had never seen this Inheritance Soul Jade.

"This treasure transformed from the skull of the Great Witch Priest of the Ancient Giant Bear Race, and it is now inside your skull!"

"What?" Wang Wu was shocked, and his sense of security uncontrollably plummeted by 300 points.

"My son, remember, you must leave behind at least three children, otherwise, after you die, you will have no right to leave your soul in the Inheritance Soul Jade."

"Also, Wolf Sanbai, although my most prized disciple, is a person of great evil, not a suitable match. Kill and refine it into alchemy. That Yu Jiayan is not bad, and her sister as well..."

"What, wait, you know all this?" Wang Wu broke into a cold sweat, but the figures outside faded, and then he heard someone calling him.

"My lord, wake up! My lord, wake up quickly!"

What the hell my lord!

Wang Wu screamed and jumped up, only to find himself still in the secret room of the restaurant in Shaman Village, face-to-face with the long-dead She Shoujiu.

Damn it, this is definitely an Illusion Realm. He must have fallen into the trap of the Great Illusion King Insect, save me!

The next second, She Shoujiu gently tapped him on the head, ouch damn!

"You, are you a human or a ghost? Are you created by my hallucination? I just saw my mother, she said she's in the Inheritance Soul Jade. Are you also in the Inheritance Soul Jade?"

Wang Wu asked a whole bunch of questions in one breath.

She Shoujiu just laughed, then shook her head, "How could I deserve to enter the Inheritance Soul Jade? I merely left a small mark on my lord's heart..."

"So you're not dead!"

"Indeed, I am dead."

"Then what is this?"

"It's because of you, my lord. You have nearly raised your Danger Perception Talent to its peak, and the memories I left in the Snake Guard Mark have been revived."

"I don't understand."

"No matter, it's actually very simple. An ancestor of the Bear Demon Emperor once married a Snake Spirit as a concubine, and the offspring became an ancestor of your lineage. The talent of the Snake Spirit became the talent of the Ancient Bear."

"This is also why the Ancient Bear Race can train Snake Guards."

"Originally, this talent didn't have much use, at least not before the Bear Demon Emperor, but it was the Bear Demon Emperor who made it famous. Hmm, according to my lord's understanding, at that time, the Bear Demon Emperor's Danger Perception had already reached a terrifying Level 15!"

"Only Level 15, terrifying?"

Wang Wu was stunned, he thought the Bear Demon Emperor's Danger Perception was Level 20.

"But in reality, the Bear Demon Emperor, like you, my lord, engraved Danger Perception on two Demon Pills, thus creating a notorious lone bandit of a generation!"

"And now, my lord surpasses the Bear Demon Emperor. So, my lord, if you continue to enhance Danger Perception, you will revert to your ancestors, and you are highly likely to become half-bear, half-snake. Even worse, your bloodline will collapse, and you will die! That's the aftermath of bloodline incompatibility."

"But it's also fortunate for this, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to wake from your dreams, meeting you again, I'm so glad."

"I am not well. I am very confused now. Did you know my mother met me just now?"

"Yes, this is a dream within a dream. I can see your dreams, but it can't see our dream."

"Recently, I've encountered a problem."

"Is my lord referring to the secret that the West Sea Demon Race Great Witch Priest revealed to you?" She Shoujiu said lightly, but it made Wang Wu break into a cold sweat again.

"You know this, too."

"Weren't you saying you just woke up?"

She Shoujiu sighed, "My lord, there is no time in dreams."

"Alright, let's not dwell on this detail. Do you know what that secret is?"

"I don't know, my lord doesn't want to know either."

"Damn, what kind of answer is this, you clearly know." Wang Wu was furious, this damn She Shoujiu, causing trouble even in death!

She Shoujiu sincerely laughed, "My lord, you'd best not know this secret, though in fact, you have always known, but as long as you remain unaware of it, this secret does not exist."

"But that West Sea Demon Race Great Witch Priest, it knows!"

"It wants to reincarnate and will not recall much of these details."

"What do you mean, reincarnate? Can the Great Witch Priest of the Ancient Bear Race reincarnate as well? Is Xiong Pi that old thief the Great Witch Priest trying to possess me?"

Wang Wu spoke quickly, this was the only possibility he could think of.

"My lord, be careful with your words, the Bear Demon Emperor is dead, and no matter how strong its soul is, how could it possess you now? Aren't you underestimating yourself in your current state? Besides, reincarnation would begin in the womb. If it attempts possession now, won't it fear mutual destruction?"

"Alright, it sounds somewhat reasonable, but my mother wants me to kill Wolf Sanbai, what do you think?"

Wang Wu let out a breath, helpless against this damned She Shoujiu, especially since it was already dead, he couldn't even punish it to vent his anger.

"He cannot be killed. Although Wolf Sanbai once was indeed a villain of great evil, he should be one of the only two in the world who know that secret now!"

"What?"

Wang Wu was greatly shocked.

General Xuelang also knows that secret.

But, how is that possible.

She Shoujiu sighed, "My lord, do not be led astray, do not be stubborn, the West Sea Demon Race Great Witch Priest knows your secret but poses no threat. But Wolf Sanbai, he is the most trustworthy. In fact, he has already given you the answer, but he chose not to care about anything."

"Treat him well, although if I were still alive, I would have killed him first, but who told me that I am already dead, come my lord, give me a hug, I also like the smell of worldly life on your body, such a warm feeling..."

Wang Wu only felt a warmth in his heart and then drifted into sleep.

After an unknown period, he heard the anxious call of General Xuelang.

"Xiong Wu, Xiong Wu! Wake up quickly, what's happened with the hallucinogenic poison of the Great Illusion King Insect? In just one night, I took my eyes off you for a moment, and you've run five hundred miles, how no matter how I called, you didn't stop, scared me to death."

Wang Wu was stunned, looking around, damn, how did he really run so far?

No, then what about my dream last night.

She Shoujiu said General Xuelang also knows his secret.

So what is his secret?

Looking at the anxious face of General Xuelang, he suddenly remembered.

Indeed, he did say it.

—"Xiong Wu, you really don't seem like a demon, but what does it matter, I like you, I don't care, I don't care about anything."

So, the secret should be — you are human!

Damn it!

Wang Wu himself found it absurdly funny, but gradually, a great sense of danger, which made him nearly shiver, welled up.

He suddenly realized that while this secret seemed trivial, even ridiculous and laughable to him, in this foggy Cultivation Realm, where only a faint contour was revealed, it likely represented some kind of taboo that could lead to his death without a proper burial.

No, I can't think about it anymore.

Wang Wu tried to control himself, but he couldn't, his Danger Perception at that moment was like a monkey he couldn't catch.

He was falling, he was losing control, he was getting closer to the truth.

But he wanted to refuse, he knew what that meant!

But he couldn't control it.

Then General Xuelang suddenly brought a Giant Stone from overhead, letting it drop from tens of meters high.

"Boom"

He was freed!
