In the game "High Martial Arts," players start with the blessing of the Martial God.

In the room

Ji Ming slumped onto the bed, catching his breath as he recalled everything that had happened that day. He never imagined that Zhao Hao was actually a traitor who had served two evil gods.

Especially the [Omniscient Curse], a secret of an innate deity, which even a fourth-tier powerhouse could not possibly know.

This experience also served as a wake-up call for him. Evil gods are truly omnipresent. Was Zhao Hao's talent mutation really voluntary?

He probably doesn't even know it himself.

Even a mere remnant of divine power from a few decades ago is terrifying!

The Heavenly Demon Cult wanted to massacre the city, but what was the purpose of the "Omniscient Curse"?

Do not!

Recalling what Master Luo said, the existing innate deities are all chaotic and disorderly, without reason. The [Omniscient Curse] should have no purpose; they just happened to be there.

Nevertheless, the primordial deities are in extreme danger; who knows what they will ultimately do?

He may remain motionless like a lifeless object, or he may transform an entire city into His retinue—it all depends on His whim!

If it weren't for Professor Luo and Mayor Fang, Shirakawa City would likely have had a hard time surviving this ordeal.

"call!"

Ji Ming let out a heavy sigh, as if trying to expel all his hesitation and lack of confidence.

Strength, only strength is the truth!

He clenched his fists, sat cross-legged, and focused his mind on what exactly the [Omniscient Curse] had inserted.

……

The small courtyard behind No. 1 Middle School

Fang Yuan was waiting anxiously. The moment he saw Luo Zhao, he rushed over. Upon noticing the latter's pale face, he exclaimed in alarm, "Brother Luo, you made your move?"

"Don't worry, it's nothing!" Luo Zhao waved his hand with a smile.

Fang Yuan carefully examined the area and, finding that it was indeed just excessive exertion, felt relieved. He then said with some self-reproach, "Sigh, if my sister knew, she'd definitely kill me!"

"cough!"

Luo Zhao paused, his lips twitched a few times, and he couldn't help but ask, "Did you tell your sister we're in Baichuan City?"

"Oh, no, not at all," Fang Yuan said blankly.

That's good!

Luo Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, really not wanting to worry about that kind of thing anymore, so he said earnestly, "Xiao Yuan, how's it going to be the mayor of Shirakawa lately?"

Speaking of this, Fang Yuan's face immediately lit up. "Great! The people here may not be very strong, but they're all very nice to talk to, and they're all talented. The key is that there are dedicated administrative staff to handle the trivial matters, so I just need to give orders. I love it here."

"Um!"

Luo Zhao nodded in satisfaction, then changed the subject, "But if your sister finds out, do you think you'll still feel this good?"

"Mmm..."

Fang Yuan shook his head frantically, a glint of wisdom in his eyes. "Brother Luo, don't worry, I'll clean up all the traces. I even used my brother's information this time. I guarantee that woman won't be able to track me down here once she comes out of seclusion!"

Luo Zhao smiled kindly, looking like a promising young man.

None of them mentioned the Heavenly Demon Sect again. After all, the troublesome thing about these rats was that they liked to hide. Once they showed themselves, everything would become simple.

A small town is unlikely to attract much attention from the Heavenly Demon Sect.

A few fourth-tier Heavenly Demon Envoys are really nothing to them.

Of course, the fact that the Heavenly Demon Sect's invasion and the [Omniscient Curse] coincided was too much of a coincidence. Luo Zhao had some guesses about this, but he didn't need to tell Fang Yuan.

"Alright, that's all settled for now. You should go and prepare for the Qingxuan Secret Realm. I have a feeling that this place is not simple."

Luo Zhao waved wearily, and Fang Yuan nodded and left.

……

Ji Ming's home

He was sitting cross-legged on the bed, sorting through the complex information in his mind. After an unknown amount of time, he slowly opened his eyes, revealing a sense of vicissitude, and sighed softly.

The knowledge that was stuffed into his head by the [Omniscient Curse] was chaotic and disorganized, consisting of fragmented sentences that were practically nonsense. Most of it was useless, but he still found a pleasant surprise in it.

[Main Character: Martial Artist]

[Life Strength: Level 9.3 (Ninth Level of Mortal Body)]

[Talents: Strong Willpower (Intermediate), God of War's Blessing (Saint-level)]

[Cultivation Method: Qian Tian Yi Qi Gong lv.7]

[Skills: Star King Body Lv.11, Blood Coagulation Spell, Dream Realm Spell, Spirit Void Step (Perfect), Flowing Moon Blade (Perfect)]

【Special Features: Moon Shadow Slash, Soaring Through the Void, Stellar Transformation】

[Number of moments of sudden enlightenment: 0 (10/100)]

Two spells have been added to the panel: the Blood Coagulation Spell and the Dream Realm Spell. These two spells are like innate instincts, deeply engraved in Ji Ming's heart. He can activate them with just a thought.

The Blood Coagulation Curse is relatively ordinary; its function is to quickly condense essence blood from ordinary blood, which may be much faster than ordinary methods, but it is not particularly surprising.

The Dream Realm Spell is quite extraordinary. Its function is to open up a dream realm in the mind, allowing him to multitask at any time and gain extra cultivation results in the dream realm.

Of course, the dream world has no physical form and can only be used to cultivate some comprehension skills, such as the Qian Tian Yi Qi Gong.

Ji Ming licked his dry lips. He thought to himself, wouldn't he be cultivating 24 hours a day in this way? The extra proficiency he could gain was secondary. Anyway, he didn't expect to be able to master the Qian Tian Yi Qi Gong on his own.

The most important thing is the effort required to achieve enlightenment through the God of War's grace. Double the progress is impossible. Enlightenment requires time to work hard, not the efficiency of that effort!

But with the Dream Realm Curse, wouldn't he be able to reliably gain 24% progress every day? This is an income that won't be affected by any trivial matters!

After all, no matter how hard he tries, he can't possibly cultivate 24 hours a day without rest. But the Dream Realm Curse is different; the portion of his mental energy that he separates out won't tire in the Dream Realm.

Ji Ming was somewhat excited, but he restrained the urge to try it immediately and prepared to ask Master Luo tomorrow to avoid falling into the trap of the evil god.

"Phew, I'll rest for today!"

Feeling the warmth emanating from his mind, Ji Ming felt drowsy. He knew that the Mind-Nourishing Pill was taking effect. His mental energy had been greatly depleted today, and it was no longer appropriate to force himself to cultivate.

With these thoughts in mind, Ji Ming lay back on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

A blue world, only the size of a small house, with pale blue clouds drifting everywhere. The clouds collide to form bubbles of all sizes, within which countless figures flicker.

"Is this... a dream?"

Ji Ming was stunned. He hadn't expected to come into contact with such a magical realm without realizing it. Was it because he had just obtained the Dream Realm Curse?

He carefully sensed and realized that his will, spirit, and body were all asleep, but he was awake in the dream, which was truly amazing.

Although he was delighted by the opportunity, he didn't intend to use the Dream Realm Spell. Fortunately, his mental recovery speed in this state far exceeded his expectations, and with the added effect of the Spirit-Replenishing Pill, he would probably be full of energy again by tomorrow.

"Dreams... truly possess the power of miracles!"

Ji Ming sighed, saying that the establishment of the virtual martial arts world also has some characteristics of dreams, which is why it can promote the cultivation of martial arts skills. This is a key point of knowledge in the new teaching materials.

"Hmm? Lost in thought?"

He was suddenly startled, realizing that he had just started to have random thoughts. This is the downside of dreams; they are extremely difficult to control and can easily cause one's thoughts to wander.

That's what dreams are like.
