Chapter 72

The Great Dream Heart Sutra has the function of protecting the owner's soul.

Jiang Li stood at the classroom door several times, facing life-threatening situations, being hypnotized by the Illusion Fox and the Ancient Bear. He survived thanks to the protection of the white stone, and even gained a blessing, cultivating the "Mental Emperor Seal."

This time, the wormhole jump put the soul in a fragmented state. It sensed the owner's danger and immediately activated a mysterious function.

Wu wu wu wu...

During the wormhole jump, the vast and intangible energy seemed to be partially absorbed by the white stone.

The entire warship was shaking.

Wormhole jumping is the pinnacle of human technology.

Humans obtained the technology from an alien warship and spent a hundred years researching before finally mastering this heaven-defying technology. This allowed them to find many resource-rich planets, expanding the survival of the entire species, leaving Earth, and venturing into the vast universe.

Of course, each wormhole jump requires enormous energy, not nuclear energy, but a higher form of energy. This energy is condensed into a form in the ocean, opening a wormhole, and then starting the transmission array.

In the vast starry sky, there are cosmic coordinates. Wormholes use energy to interfere with spatial dimensions, causing a short-term jump.

Otherwise, planets that are hundreds of thousands of light-years away would require hundreds of thousands of years of light-speed travel. Only through wormholes can they be reached in a short time.

The theory of wormholes was proposed by humans three hundred years ago, but it was just a concept, impossible to realize. With human technology alone, it might take thousands of years to achieve.

However, wormhole jumping is also extremely dangerous, allowing no room for error. Any tiny mistake can cause the wormhole's enormous energy to distort, making people and warships completely disappear into the depths of the starry sea, or even vanish from the material world, turning into the tiniest atoms, leaving no trace.

In the vast ocean, in a huge base.

Suddenly, the energy fluctuated, and all the seawater began to surge, causing massive waves and tsunamis.

Drip drip drip...

Countless alarm sounds echoed.

"What's happening? Why is the energy overflowing? It seems something is absorbing a large amount of wormhole jump energy. What is this thing?"

"Danger, danger, extreme danger..."

"Quickly supply backup energy, or the wormhole will slightly distort, and the entire warship will turn to dust."

"My God, what is absorbing the wormhole jump energy? This energy is equivalent to the electricity consumption of Jinghua City for ten years. Unless it's a wormhole jump, nothing else can absorb it."

"Now is not the time to discuss what's wrong, but to immediately activate the backup energy."

Deep in the wormhole base, a sudden tremor occurred, and the seawater converged into a huge vortex. A burst of energy broke through space and time, and a wormhole slowly opened in the deep sea, stabilizing again.

But everyone on the warship was completely unaware.

No one knew that they had almost turned into cosmic particles, disappearing forever from the material world.

And Jiang Li had a dream.

This dream was incredibly real, as if living in the real world. He dreamed of being born in an ancient continent where there was no technology, a purely feudal era, a time of great martial arts development.

This continent was a planet, very large.

Inside the planet, there was a kind of energy called "heaven and earth spirit energy," which did not exist on Earth. People could use breathing techniques to guide this energy into their bodies, making their bodies strong and bursting with great power.

This continent was home to countless martial arts masters and god-like figures who could fly and travel through the earth.

Jiang Li was born into a small family and began learning martial arts from scratch.

From the initial "breathing and exhaling" to the training of various boxing techniques, until finally achieving great success and guiding "heaven and earth spirit energy" into his body, every step of his growth was vividly recorded in his heart. In the dream, even the martial arts techniques and various details were remembered clearly.

Finally, he became a martial arts master revered by thousands, capable of destroying a mountain with a single gesture. At this time, extraterrestrial demons invaded, and he fought to protect the continent's safety. During the battle, he was shattered by a warship, turning into dust.

It was a dream.

But it was too real, too clear.

It was like the ancient "Dream of the Yellow Millet," where one dream encompassed the vicissitudes of life, the glory and splendor of wealth. The experiences in the dream were so real that when you woke up, it felt as if you had been reborn.

Who knows if the real world is not just a great dream?

Ancient scholars, after experiencing the "Dream of the Yellow Millet," gained great enlightenment.

Jiang Li, during the wormhole jump, also experienced this dream, as if being reborn.

Great dreams span thousands of years, what year is it now?

When this dream ended, these two sentences echoed repeatedly in his ears.

Jiang Li kept recalling the dream, as if feeling his past life. The martial arts techniques from childhood to adulthood in the dream were imprinted in his mind, clear, profound, and unforgettable.

He didn't know why such a thing would happen during the wormhole jump. According to theoretical knowledge, the energy of the wormhole jump would put the mind in a state of suspended animation.

The person should have no memory at all.

But now he was dreaming, and dreaming meant mental activity. Why was this happening?

He thought in the dream, unable to see his body, only perceiving a distorted void.

Since he was bored, he kept recalling the details of the dream, the experience of becoming a martial arts master, especially the martial arts techniques, and combined them with his Mental Emperor Seal.

His mind was intensely training.

Once, twice, three times, four times...

In the dream, he practiced the Emperor Thunder Seal to perfection, not knowing how many times, only knowing that he could continue training endlessly, as he didn't need to eat or drink in the dream, only his mind was active.

One day, two days, three days, four days... one month, six months, one year... three years.

He kept training in the dream, almost going mad from loneliness, using the practice of the Emperor Thunder Seal to pass the time, counting the days, feeling that he had been training non-stop for three years.

Because, in the dream, he couldn't wake up, couldn't feel his body, and this eternal loneliness was indeed terrifying.

Fortunately, he could use training to alleviate his loneliness.

Without the Emperor Thunder Seal and the experiences in the dream, the various martial arts techniques corroborating in his mind, he might not have been able to hold on.

"Right, what I experienced in the dream is likely the life of the mummy in the sewer. This dream was so vivid, it must be the Great Dream Heart Sutra at work." Jiang Li had an epiphany: "I practiced the Emperor Thunder Seal and various martial arts for three years in the dream. I don't know how long it has been in reality. I am currently in a wormhole jump, but the three years of practice and a lifetime of experience in the dream will certainly make my mind grow. Once the wormhole jump is complete and I return to the real world, even if my vitality doesn't increase, my martial arts and cultivation experience will certainly advance rapidly."

Thinking about it, a person gaining the lifetime experience of another supreme expert in a dream and practicing for three years, although there might be no physical changes, there would be a qualitative change in the mind.

It's like a scientist's soul possessing a primary school student's body.

Although Jiang Li didn't fully understand everything that happened in the dream, after careful thought, he could understand a lot.

His martial arts experience and mental progress were too fast.

Boom!

While thinking, his soul suddenly trembled, and he returned to the real world, feeling pain all over his body, as if being torn apart. A gentle voice echoed: "The wormhole jump is complete. You have arrived at Qu Bo Star. Please do not move yet. You must lie still for an hour to familiarize yourself with your body and mind. The cabin will spray you with nutrient solution."

Zi zi zi...

A cool mist sprayed from the cabin, and Jiang Li took a breath, feeling the pain ease significantly.

An hour later, the metal bed's cover opened, and Jiang Li jumped lightly to the ground, feeling his body light and his mind agile, as if reborn.

He knew he had undergone an incredible transformation. With a slight thought, various martial arts techniques and experiences came to mind.

"Emperor Thunder Seal!"

He gently pushed out a palm.

Rumble!

Qi and blood thundered in his body like a mighty river, and his mind was incredibly focused. Every subtle movement was under his control, and the technique of the Emperor Thunder Seal was ten times more proficient than before, as if he had been a martial arts expert for a lifetime.

"Indeed, I have become much more proficient in the Emperor Thunder Seal. The practice in the dream was not fake." Jiang Li thought happily: "My vitality seems to have increased. What has happened to the white stone?"

At this moment, Wang Changshan's figure appeared on the computer screen: "Students, there was a small problem during the warship's jump, but it has been resolved. We have now landed on Qu Bo Star. Next, you will be released onto this planet. This planet has oxygen and water, suitable for human survival. You don't need to wear spacesuits. After you go down, our warship will jump back. In one hundred days, the warship will jump back here. In other words, you will live on the other side of the stars for one hundred days, isolated and helpless. This will be a great test for your minds. Strive, young people."

After he finished speaking.

Zi zi zi...

Jiang Li immediately felt his body enveloped in an energy halo and was ejected from the warship. After a long time, he finally felt solid ground under his feet.

At this moment, he saw the warship suddenly jump and disappear.

All the students being tested were also ejected to the ground.

The warship disappeared.

All the students were left alone on this unknown planet, on the other side of the stars.

Here, looking at the vast starry sea, they couldn't even see Earth.

This was not their homeland.

All the students felt a sense of homesickness, isolated and helpless, melancholic.

Jiang Li finally understood the loneliness of the extraterrestrial warriors, who, on Earth, couldn't even see their home planet.

"Dream of returning home..." Jiang Li murmured.
