Talisman Reincarnation - All My Clones Are Dao Ancestors-Chapter 43: First awakening

"The nightmare of failure and hopelessness, isn’t this the greatest nightmare?

You gain hope, but at every chance, it’s destroyed.

When you think you succeed, suddenly, you fail.

This nightmare ability is extremely strong!

Not only can it construct a loop of nightmares, even further, it forces rules towards the sufferer’s mind with the passage of time.

Maybe initially, if he truly put his everything to escape the loop and not enter the hall, he might’ve left the dream and attacked Teigu outside.

But his inner greed doesn’t allow him to drop his foundation and escape. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

With such a long passage of time, he even developed a contorted sense of reality and went as far as... stabbing himself to death.

Haha, who would’ve thought! The nightmare doesn’t even have to kill him!

Simply allowing his dream action to go through outside made him stab himself several times.

Because of the mechanism, he thought that the pain wasn’t bad and simply the pain of death if he truly died.

I need to write these down and use them later...

And I also need to develop the rules of the dream further.

This time, the two main rules were ’return to the first point after death’ and ’always follow the initial plan’.

Although these work fine, this is just because many aspects of the cultivator helped.

A cultivator who has a stable dao heart won’t be swayed.

Several things would have changed the current course of the nightmare.

This is truly a good time to learn!"

Fu Xian was very satisfied with what he saw.

He felt like he had already regained some of his investment!

...

Teigu watched as the chief kept hitting himself in front of him, not doing anything.

He only felt that the evil deserved what they got.

Just as the chief seemed on the brink of death, he took out a rope he had prepared earlier.

Tying the chief up, he recalled five of the seven binding Gu.

Since seven more constructed the dream and two bound the Gu in his sleeves, it was fine to recall five.

A thought inside of him told him that it would be best to kill the other five warriors before killing this chief.

Looking at the five, he didn’t do much.

Although previously, they had exploded themselves to cast a veil, in fact, these were dream butterfly.

As long as there was enough dream energy, they wouldn’t dissipate.

He allowed these five to absorb some of the chief’s dream power.

Instantly, these five had several illusions flashing through their wings.

They each contained a way of death:

Three were deaths through the different main Gu, one was death through the bone Gu, and the last was death of suffocation.

They flew around Teigu’s hands for a bit before they took flight into the distance.

Teigu observed the butterflies but didn’t intend to personally solve the matter.

He simply looked through the eyes of the butterflies, seeing what they saw, and slightly controlling them from afar.

The five warriors, surprisingly, lived alone.

There were no women around them, nor any children.

It seemed like they were pure warriors with no family.

He was extremely suspicious of it but didn’t mind, this would make things easier.

The butterflies flew through walls and easily entered the houses.

One after another, they flew to the warriors and entered the head.

At the same time, Teigu suddenly saw five more visions appearing in his dream space.

These five visions seemed to merge at the moment of their impact with the vision already residing there –

It was a huge vision, the exact scene the chief was going through.

When the chief suffocated, Teigu’s dream form felt a tightness. When the chief was killed by Gu, Teigu felt like countless needles pierced his body...

But that was only the initial pain.

The moment the village’s chief started killing himself with a dagger, all pain disappeared from the dream...

This is because the dagger in the chief’s hand was illusory. Even though it was a dream, everything in this dream space was real, only the dagger was an illusion.

Even though five more illusions joined the fray, nothing major happened.

Teigu only felt a heaviness on his head, as if he was in a state of extreme focus.

In reality, he also felt sluggish and couldn’t move as quick as previously, as if his brains signals were delayed.

He took note of this state, waiting for the situation to end.

Just a few moments later, a vision appeared on the border of the large vision. It fell out and dissipated once alone.

One vision after another fell out, until only the original vision remained.

A few moments later, Teigu saw several butterflies appearing in front of him.

They had crossed space and instantly entered his dream space!

They hovered in front of him before disappearing into his body.

Outside, a different vision appeared-

A purple butterfly flew out of Teigu’s body.

Initially, only the tail and the head were shining. Then, suddenly, five more lights lit up one after another.

First, the proboscis and the antennae connected to the head lit up.

Following were the legs, and finally, one light lit up in each wing.

The seven light suddenly seemed to connect –

Head, proboscis, antennae, legs, body and both wings...

A magical scene appeared.

Deep violet and crimson red appeared on its body, and the butterfly, previously illusory and unreal, seemed to gain some colour!

At the same time, Teigu awakened deep underlaying knowledge:

He awakened the ’Crimson Transformation’!

But, unfortunately, it was only an initial transformation.

He could decide right now which to awaken.

Once he went through all seven awakenings, he could fully transform!

Before he could think deeply, a thought spread across his mind: choose the wings!

’Wings... that requires two transformations, should I really do it?’

Even though he had this doubt, he chose to believe his inner feeling.

[The qi-refining Chapter of this art only contains a general overview of the seven awakenings.

It’s recommended not to take the wings but the antennae or head, one being perception and one dream control.

But this is only because the start is difficult.

Rather than taking these, it’s better to take both wings.

From all the awakening, although I only see the first awakening and not the effects of the following awakening, the first stage ability of both wings seem extremely fitting.

The left wing has ’Dream Blink’, blinking through the dreams, disappearing in reality from one spot and appearing in another. Meanwhile, even though the right wing’s ability is also good, ’Dream Jump’, which is to jump into any kind of dream, this ability isn’t as useful right now.

If it was solely for defense, the body would be best. But since both the Chapter mentioned that the wings have a synergy effect and that it’s best to awaken them one after another, then I should do it now.

Right now it’s the easiest time to awaken them one after another!]

Fu Xian’s thoughts made their way to Teigu, who finally decided to awaken the left wing first.

In an instant, an illusory wing formed behind his body!

It was huge, more than twice his body size!

But it seemed the pierce the ground just fine.

With a simple thought, the wing suddenly flapped!

He disappeared where he was and appeared ten metres in front of him!

Various calculations appeared in Fu Xian’s mind and were transferred to Teigu who kept experimenting...
