Fantasy: Ten Dragons Compete for the Throne, I, the Villain, Choose to Play it Off

Chapter 112 The Great Dream Heart Sutra, a Dream Journey to Ancient Times?
"If that immortal has already passed away, then he is no longer affected by the secrets of heaven..."

Jian Wuhen stopped speaking at this point, turned to look at Li Qiye, as if worried that he might be unhappy.

"Brother Li, I'm truly sorry..."

"nothing."

Hearing their conversation, Li Qiye finally realized something and, after a moment of contemplation, said:

"Now that we are no longer affected by the secrets of heaven, I will have to trouble you, Brother Jian."

"Brother Li, I apologize."

Jian Wuhen nodded seriously.

He took a deep breath, pointed to the void ahead, and a wisp of pure sword intent burst forth. Soon, countless sword intents intertwined in the air, converging into a figure of unparalleled elegance.

The figure was somewhat indistinct, dressed in a long, jet-black dress, with an extremely delicate face, as beautiful as a fairy, without a single flaw on her face.

His eyes seemed to hold the stars, yet a hint of indifference emanated from them, as if he didn't care about anything.

He simply stood there, and the world seemed shrouded in darkness.

Standing to the side, Jin Pengwan said softly, "Her personality is very indifferent, even cold. I've heard her preach once, and there were never so many people listening."

Li Qiye stared at the female phantom in the air with a very complicated expression. Although he didn't have a deep impression of his mother, Li Qiye was quite certain that this was his mother.

However, the difference in their temperaments is too great.

In everyone's memory, the mother was an extremely gentle person.

She never gets angry, and always speaks in a soft, gentle voice, as if she can soothe the wounds in everyone's heart, completely unlike the indifferent and ruthless person Jian Wuhen described.

"By the way, what's his name?"

Li Qiye suddenly spoke up and asked.

Jin Peng Wan'er gave Li Qiye a strange look, paused for a moment, and then said, "Lin Xiyue!"

Is it Lin Xiyue?

Li Qiye fell into deep thought. The name was somewhat different from his mother's, which was named Lin Xiyue, but very similar. It was very likely that he had changed his name.

"So my mother was an immortal!"

A smile involuntarily crept onto Li Qiye's face; he couldn't quite describe the feeling.

It's sad, you could say.

It's been more than ten years since my mother passed away, so there's not much sadness left; I've long since let go of it.

Now that he knows his mother's identity, Li Qiye is starting to think about it seriously.

By this time, he had figured out many things.

I finally understand why my father knew about this small world beneath the imperial mausoleum of the Great Zhou Dynasty and came here through the teleportation array.

And why didn't the Emperor bury Mother's grave in the Great Zhou Mausoleum, but instead placed it on a small hill next to the Imperial Study?

Also, why did Father Emperor allow so many people to come to this small world...?

Meanwhile, the three super powers are building a teleportation array, which must be related to the Emperor.

"Could it be that Father Emperor is trying to find Mother through this method?"

Li Qiye thought to himself.

Clearly, the Emperor knew that the Mother was an immortal.

That's why he just couldn't believe that an immortal would perish so easily.
If Li Qiye wasn't mistaken, his mother really did disappear without warning, just as his father had said, as if she had ascended to heaven and left no trace of her physical body.

Then the problem is coming.

When Father came here, it was Mother who came from this land.
Why would a celestial being marry a mortal?

Judging from Jian Wuhen and Jin Chi Wan'er's descriptions, their mother didn't seem like someone who could be easily moved by emotions.

"besides……"

Li Qiye glanced at Jian Wuhen and Jin Chi Wan'er. No matter how he looked at them, they had no idea that there was another world outside this small world.

This is too abnormal.

Li Qiye glanced around; the place was like a fairyland.

Most importantly, he hadn't encountered a single person from the outside world since arriving in this small realm. Countless people had entered this secret place; it was impossible that he hadn't met anyone!

"Did none of them come here?"

"Or is it that the problem lies within myself, and there's nothing wrong with others?"

Li Qiye was suddenly jolted as he thought of these things.

A mystical aura pervades the air, and countless rays of light illuminate the scene.

The night sky is like a vast curtain covering all things in the world. The moonlight is like a shuttle, and the starlight is dazzling. This is an incredibly real world.

The air is filled with a rich spiritual energy; every breath you take nourishes your entire body, as if you are bathing in an ocean of spiritual energy.

Li Qiye was absolutely certain that this was an extremely real world.

"Three lifetimes, three worlds, stealing dreams and sleeping forever!"

"The Great Dream Heart Sutra, a dream journey to ancient times?!"

Li Qiye murmured to himself.

Looking at Jian Wuhen and Jin Peng Wan'er, who were showing slight concern, he was momentarily unable to distinguish between reality and dream.

Recalling the white-clad, barefoot woman who seemed to be the lord of the forbidden zone, if she really was that person, then creating such a realistic dream might not be a problem at all.

Is it reality, or a dream?

"We'll find out tomorrow..."

Thinking about all this, Li Qiye calmed down.

The system's "slacking off" reward is distributed daily, unless something unexpected happens.

For example, the last time he entered the Goddess of War's dream world, the "playing dumb" reward didn't appear.

Spending five years inside is equivalent to only five days outside.

In the dream world, there was no reward for giving up until after I escaped, when all the rewards were given out at once.

Therefore, as long as the "playing it safe" reward appears as normal tomorrow, it means this is the real world.

Suddenly, Li Qiye saw his father standing at the window of the Imperial Study, gazing at the lonely grave outside, and he couldn't help but sigh.

Even in the real world, it would be impossible for the Emperor to find his mother.

Because in this small world, it is clear that the matter has already been settled.

That peerless immortal disappeared from this world many years ago when he broke through to the Divine Lord realm.

Whether that person was her mother or not, they could never see her again.

"Brother Li..."

Jian Wuhen wanted to offer some words of comfort, but he felt that such words would be ineffective and would only increase Li Qiye's grief, so it was better not to offer any comfort.

"I'm fine."

Li Qiye came to his senses, smiled, and shook his head.

He didn't really have many feelings; in fact, he was more surprised and bewildered, and also found it a bit funny.

Given his background, he must be a major villain, right?
However, in the original story, not long after the beginning, Li Qiye became a stepping stone for the protagonist Xiao Yun and was killed off.

What followed was the revenge plan of Xiao Yun, the protagonist of Destiny, which ultimately succeeded in avenging his family and killing Qin Rentu, the garrison general of the state.

Then came the Blood Demon Rebellion, which swept across the entire Northern Divine Continent.

That said, Li Qiye's father was the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the supreme ruler, while his mother was suspected to be an immortal.

Isn't such a background and identity impressive enough?

As it turned out, he became a minor villain in the book.

Is this reasonable?

However, he also knew that this world was a fusion of multiple fantasy worlds and had already changed.

As for the original story, there were no ancient sect ruins or secret realms under the Great Zhou Dynasty.
