A Thousand Years of Immortal Dreams

history.

Indeed, history is Cao Wang's greatest asset.

He is the future, she is the past.

The future can change the past.

"I can help you!"

Cao Wang suddenly turned around, staring intently at Shen Jingqiu.

"Help me? With your abilities?"

Shen Jingqiu chuckled and looked him up and down while holding his sword.

"A mere early stage of Qi Refining Level 1, thinking you're some kind of useless fifth-stage Qi Refining Level trash? You can't even withstand one of my Spirit Accumulation Talismans, what makes you think you can help me?"

"It has been proven that our two jade pendants can transmit things between each other."

Cao Wang was not swayed by her words and spoke rapidly.

"You helped me obtain cultivation resources from two thousand years ago: elixirs, talismans, formations, and even more advanced cultivation techniques and spells..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Shen Jingqiu interrupted him, her brows furrowing.

"What are you thinking? I'm just a menial disciple now. Forget about doing these things, even my own cultivation resources have been deducted. Besides..."

She glanced sideways at Cao Wang, her tone carrying an undisguised disdain:

"You lecherous scoundrel, you've bullied me for fifteen days, why should I help you?"

"I'll help you change your situation!"

Cao Wang stepped forward, but this time Shen Jingqiu did not draw his sword to stop him.

"I'll help you grow rapidly within the Primordial Dao Court, I'll give you opportunities, things you can't obtain right now!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Shen Jingqiu laughed heartily, a rare occurrence, but it was filled with endless mockery.

"Did you help me grow? Did you give me opportunities?"

"Why don't you take a good look at yourself? You're just a piece of trash at the early stage of the first level of Qi Refining. What makes you think you can help me? Besides, we're separated by two thousand years. Are you kidding me?"

Cao Wang did not laugh; his expression was serious, and his eyes were fixed on Shen Jingqiu.

Shen Jingqiu's laughter gradually subsided under his gaze.

"Finished laughing?" Cao Wang asked.

Shen Jingqiu pursed his lips and remained silent.

"It's true that I'm at the first level of Qi Refining, and it's also true that there's a two-thousand-year gap between us."

Cao Wang spoke each word with force and conviction.

"But it is precisely because I am in the future and you are in the past that I am able to help you."

Shen Jingqiu's heart skipped a beat.

She seemed to... understand what he was saying.

"Take yourself as an example."

Cao Wang listed them out.

"Do you know what you did yesterday, what you ate, and how many times you went to the toilet?"

"Nonsense! Of course I'll take care of my own business..."

Shen Jingqiu stopped mid-sentence.

Her eyes widened, and her pupils suddenly contracted.

"You...you mean..."

"I am in the future, you are in the past."

Cao Wang looked at her and said, "You know what you did yesterday, and I, if I'm willing to put in the effort to investigate, can find out what will happen to you tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the whole year ahead."

Shen Jingqiu's breathing became rapid.

"It's not just you; the entire Tai Chu Dao Court, the Four Great Immortal Sects, and even the entire Tai Xuan Continent's trajectory for the next two thousand years are all written in the book."

Cao Wang waved his hands excitedly.

"As long as I go looking, I can tell you in advance where opportunities will arise, who is worth befriending, and who needs to be avoided."

"Then……"

Shen Jingqiu's voice trembled slightly.

"Then I avoided the traps in advance, seized the opportunities ahead of time, and became stronger ahead of time."

"That's right."

"If I become stronger, I can give you more resources, and you will be stronger in my era. Then, once you are stronger, you will be able to find more information and help me more accurately."

"Snapped!"

Cao Wang snapped his fingers crisply.

"clever."

Shen Jingqiu stood there, his chest heaving violently with excitement.

The look in her eyes when she looked up at Cao Wang finally changed.

"If you can really find out about me... find out about me, about everything that will happen to the Primordial Dao Court next..."

Shen Jingqiu bit her lip.

"Then I do have the potential to change all of this and escape my current predicament."

"It's not just about changing your situation."

Cao Wang continued.

"You have changed your destiny, and your cultivation level will improve. The better your cultivation level is, the better the resources you will provide me."

If I get better resources, I can become stronger faster.

The faster I become stronger, the more detailed information I can help you find.

Cao Wang extended his right hand, palm facing up.

"So, starting today."

"We are comrades-in-arms from two different worlds, fighting side by side."

Shen Jingqiu looked down at the hand.

She hesitated for a moment.

Then he reached out and placed that soft, boneless, smooth, and slender palm on it.

Palm to palm, a cool temperature travels across two thousand years of space.

That was the first time in her life that she had willingly placed her hand in a man's.

Cao Wang gripped her hand tightly and didn't let go.

Shen Jingqiu waited for two breaths, but he still didn't release it.

Two more breaths passed, but it still didn't release.

"lecher!"

Shen Jingqiu rolled her eyes at Cao Wang and said expressionlessly.

"hand."

"Oh! Hehe!"

Cao Wang chuckled awkwardly and reluctantly loosened his grip.

But as he withdrew his hand, he swiftly put it under his nose and sniffed it.

A slight smile played at the corners of his lips.

"Mmm, it smells delicious."

The entire movement was performed in one smooth, fluid motion.

Shen Jingqiu didn't see it.

Instead, he took out several neatly folded talismans from his pocket and handed them over.

"I have some talismans here that I drew myself."

It's of little use to me now, but in your time... it might have come in handy.

"You used a Spirit-Gathering Talisman last time; you know its effects."

"Here's another barrier-breaking talisman. When you encounter an array or restriction, crush it to create a temporary opening that lasts for about ten breaths. It's not a high-grade talisman, but it shouldn't be able to stop a restriction at the Qi Refining stage."

"A concealment talisman can be attached to your body to cover your aura. As long as you don't make a move, people below the Foundation Establishment stage can't see through your true cultivation level. I'm talking about the Foundation Establishment stage here. I don't know what cultivation level is equivalent to in your area. Your Demon Sect is a mixed bag, so this can be used to save your life."

"This last one... Thunderclap Talisman, it's offensive. My skills are limited, so I didn't draw it very well, but it should be able to blow up a Qi Refining Stage 7 or 8 cultivator. Keep it, but don't use it unless absolutely necessary, or you might accidentally hurt yourself."

The four talismans were stacked together and handed to Cao Wang across two thousand years of void.

It felt warm to the touch, still carrying the warmth of her embrace.

The ethereal white light gradually dimmed.

The dream is ending.

"The secrets of dreams still await discovery. Let's examine them carefully together. We didn't come here last night, and we don't yet know the specific reason. The next time we meet might be tomorrow, or it might be the day after. In any case, let's take it one step at a time!"

As they parted, Cao Wang gave them these words of advice.

"Yes! Don't forget to check my current situation as soon as possible; I need to get out of this predicament quickly!"

"Don't worry, leave it to me!"

The white void gradually descended into darkness.

Cao Wang and Shen Jingqiu opened their eyes at the same time, around two thousand years ago.
