Gradually, Su Mu realized that his consciousness began to blur and then gradually became clear.

At the moment he entered the dreamland, he had already forgotten his identity and lost his memory.

When he slowly opened his eyes, a shabby ceiling filled his view, with cobwebs in the corners, and flies and mosquitoes buzzing around.

Su Mu slowly sat up in bed, staring blankly for a long time.

"Brother Su, what's wrong?"

At that moment, a gentle voice pulled Su Mu's thoughts back to reality,

Upon hearing the voice, Su Mu remembered his name was Su Mu, and that he was a scholar.

Following the voice, he saw a beautiful woman placing dishes on the wooden table, then turned to look at Su Mu, gently saying, "Brother Su, what's wrong?"

"Did you stay up too late reading last night? You've been asleep for a long time, and it's already noon."

Only after she spoke did Su Mu remember that the woman speaking to him was his wife, Mo Wanwan.

He sat on the edge of the bed, put on a pair of patched cloth shoes, and then walked to the dining table, sitting down.

Mo Family served Su Mu a bowl of thick porridge soup, placed it in front of him, and said with a smile, "Brother Su, don't work too hard; health is most important. I believe you will surely pass this year's county examination."

Mo Family smiled, revealing some wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. She was nearly forty now, and maintaining such appearance was a testament to her natural beauty.

Unlike those from wealthy families, her life only consisted of daily necessities and hard work, so the traces of time had already covered her face.

"I feel like I had a very long, long dream," Su Mu murmured.

Hearing this, Mo Family walked behind Su Mu, massaging his shoulders, then gently said, "Brother Su, you're too tired. Rest well tonight."

Su Mu shook his head and said, "Let's eat."

Mo Family returned to her seat, continuously serving dishes to Su Mu. The household was very poor, and the best meat they had was rabbit meat.

It's known that rabbit meat has no nutritional value and makes you thinner the more you eat. Most wealthy families considered it inferior, but it was the only meat source for countless impoverished families.

After finishing the meal, Su Mu realized Mo Family hadn't eaten at all. It was then he remembered that in this era, women would always wait for the men to finish eating before they would eat.

Because men were the pillars of the family, the main labor force, and economic source, they needed to be well-fed.

"From now on, let's eat together; you don't need to wait for me to finish."

Su Mu felt that this feudal custom was not very good.

Hearing this, Mo Family froze; she didn't know why Brother Mo seemed like a different person today. In the past, Brother Su would finish eating in silence and then quickly shut himself in to read.

"Brother Su, go and read,"

Mo Family said with a smile.

"No need, go ahead and eat," Su Mu still felt a bit dizzy.

As Mo Family ate, she tentatively asked, "Brother Su, what dream did you have? I saw you woke up with a head full of sweat today."

"I can't remember; it's all a jumble."

Su Mu shook his head. Although he knew he had a very long dream, he forgot the content of the dream.

...

After Mo Family finished eating, Su Mu continued reading as usual.

However, ever since that dream, he was surprised to find his mind exceptionally clear, even... possessing a photographic memory!

He quickly finished a thick, obscure ancient text, closed the book, and could recite it without error, even fully understanding its meaning.

...

Six months later, Su Mu became the top scorer in the county examination.

The following year, he again topped the provincial examination, and in the same year, he became the Champion Scholar in the palace examination!

He became the Champion Scholar of Da Fu Country, and Mo Family was appointed as Madam, freeing them from poverty and making her the much-envied Champion Scholar's wife in Da Fu Country.

...

Later, Su Mu realized that Da Fu Country was united by martial power, and only cultivators could truly stand on the historical stage.

He, a Champion Scholar with no cultivation, was merely a puppet, briefly used for a year, then thoroughly marginalized.

His mansion, once bustling with visitors, gradually became deserted and desolate.

After that, Su Mu came to an epiphany, determined to pursue the path of cultivation and become a cultivator.

Thus, he secluded himself in study for over a decade, while his wife Mo Family, having experienced great ups and downs, fell seriously ill and was bedridden.

Su Mu closed the mansion gates, drove away the impatient servants, and cared for Mo Family alone while diligently studying scriptures.

Year after year, he seemed to comprehend something, yet not comprehend anything.

Mo Family's life was nearing its end, with only a year left.

Su Mu stopped reading, carrying Mo Family on journeys far and wide, to see wind and snow, to climb Ancient Yue, to cross rivers...

In this way, Su Mu found that each new landscape reminded him of profound truths in the books, awakening insights he'd never felt before.

Gradually, he seemed to understand the language of books, the logic within, as his mindset unknowingly transformed....

On this day, Su Mu carried Mo Family through wind and snow to a snow-capped mountain, climbing for a whole day, exhausted to the point of collapse, falling several times, his legs bloodied.

Mo Family sat in the snow, looking at the swirling snowflakes, extending a trembling hand to catch a flake, smiling softly, "Brother Su, when I'm no longer here, take good care of yourself."

"Look at this snowflake, so beautiful..."

After these words, Mo Family's breathing became faint, and she closed her eyes, on the verge of death, with no strength to speak.

She could only gaze at her beloved.

...

This moment, Su Mu's eyes were full of tears.

Bong——

A chime echoed from nowhere, ancient and distant.

At that moment, Su Mu came to a profound realization, his mind undergoing transformation, his aura climbing continuously.

In the next instant.

Suddenly, the snowflakes halted in mid-air.

Su Mu's gaze changed, no longer filled with tears but calm and serene.

Because at this moment, he remembered everything.

It turned out that the one-night dream wasn't a dream, and he was not called Su Mu, but Su Mu.

Su Mu looked at Mo Family before him, smiled, and said, "Thank you for being with me during this time, allowing me to gain enlightenment. I shall grant you a fortuitous opportunity."

In the next instant.

Mo Family's life force rapidly rejuvenated, and her aged appearance began to turn youthful, with Spiritual Power emerging within her, altering her very being.

At this moment, Mo Family gazed in fascination at Brother Su.

It turned out... her Brother Su was actually an Immortal from the celestial realms.

In her daze, as she looked again, the person before her had already transformed into wind and snow, disappearing without a trace.

....

Su Mu slowly opened his eyes and found that it was already daylight.

He let out a heavy breath, his aura suddenly surging, directly breaking through to the Celestial Immortal Fourth Realm!

Looking down at the Stone Ring on his finger, he realized that all the experiences in the dream were due to this ring.

Although it was just a dream, it felt incredibly real.

What kind of ring is this... so wondrous!

It was then he remembered, this Stone Ring could also function as a Space Ring.

With a thought, he explored the space within the ring, finding it filled with various miscellaneous items.

"What is this?"

In a corner of the ring's space, Su Mu discovered a piece of paper.

On it, a sentence was written.
