"It can definitely be done." Ye Xuan’s eyes shone with divine light. He had waited for this day for millions of years, fortunately, Ye Fengtian did not disappoint him.

Buzz!

Ye Xuan gently flicked his sleeve, and the seventh small cauldron appeared, with mysterious runes engraved on its ancient body, a mysterious energy was blooming from it.

Boom!

Ye Fengtian dared not be negligent, he directly activated the life force within him, a flash of green light rippling out, enveloping the small cauldron within it.

Rumble!

The next moment, an astonishing sight emerged, as the heavens and earth trembled in the void, the small cauldron shaking terrifyingly, with strands of mysterious brilliance appearing on its body, and a mysterious chanting sound faintly emanating from the void of the heavens.

"Good."

Ye Xuan’s face was filled with joy, even though his cultivation had long made him remain calm, being able to activate the seventh small cauldron excited him immensely.

Buzz!

Ripples spread from the body of the cauldron, and the mysterious chanting grew louder, with indescribable profound meanings overflowing from the small cauldron, indicating to Ye Xuan that the time had come.

"Go!"

A loud shout came from Ye Xuan, as the bronze ancient scripture appeared, its pages turning, now emanating an extremely mysterious brilliance.

Shh!

In an instant, the seventh small cauldron transformed into a beam of light, merging into the bronze ancient scripture, where an empty page gradually revealed a small cauldron pattern.

At this moment, the bronze ancient scripture shone brightly, a supremely mysterious rune emerging, exuding terrifying power.

Receive!

Ye Xuan dared not delay, his five fingers thrust out violently, with the mysterious rune shooting toward him, merging into his brow in a flash of lightning.

Boom!

As the mysterious rune merged with Ye Xuan, his expression suddenly went blank, as if his soul had left, unmoving and silent.

"Teacher?"

Ye Fengtian’s face changed drastically, fearing for Ye Xuan’s safety, but before he could step forward to check, the bronze ancient scripture had already descended over Ye Xuan’s head, with seven pages turning continuously, and the descending terrifying aura made it impossible for Ye Fengtian to come any closer.

...

Above and below, boundless and limitless!

Chaos unseen, heaven and earth disappeared.

"Where is this place?"

Ye Xuan exclaimed in surprise, finding himself in a void, with no heavens and earth, no cosmic starry sky, seemingly isolated from everything, with only himself there.

"Great Eternal Dream!"

Rumble!

The heavens shook, ancient divine sounds echoed.

Before Ye Xuan could react, wisps of smoke-like white mist rose in the void, quickly engulfing him.

"Ugh!"

Pain!

Extreme pain!

Ye Xuan felt as if his divine soul was about to burst in the white mist, yet strands of extremely profound scriptures flowed through his heart, compelling him to endure this excruciating pain, silently memorizing the texts.

He didn’t know how much time had passed, perhaps a day, a year, or perhaps an epoch.

Ye Xuan had forgotten the concept of time, the suffering diminishing bit by bit, with the mysterious scriptures constantly flowing in his heart.

...

Outside!

Ye Fengtian paced anxiously. Ye Xuan had been unconscious for a thousand years, and if there weren’t still signs of life within him, Ye Fengtian would have thought Ye Xuan had perished with soul scattering.

Buzz!

Suddenly, just as Ye Fengtian was becoming intolerably impatient, the light from the bronze ancient scripture above Ye Xuan’s head faded, transforming into a beam and merging into Ye Xuan’s brow.

The next moment.

Ye Xuan slowly opened his eyes, only his gaze was murky and bewildered, as if he’d been asleep for a very long time, and awoke with a hazy consciousness.

Yet it was at this moment, when Ye Xuan opened his eyes, that the heavens and earth began to twist, even in front of Ye Fengtian a severe sense of terror arose, with his life force seeming to dissipate.

"Teacher!"

Ye Fengtian quickly shouted, hoping to awaken Ye Xuan from his confused state.

Perhaps it was Ye Fengtian’s shout, as Ye Xuan’s murky eyes gradually grew clearer until a hint of black light flashed across his eyes, and the distorted heavens and earth normalized at that instant.

"Teacher, you’ve finally awakened."

Ye Fengtian breathed a sigh of relief, as Ye Xuan’s previous condition was too terrifying, almost causing him to dissolve into the heavens and earth, an experience that left Ye Fengtian with lingering fear.

"Great Eternal Dream?"

As Ye Xuan regained clarity, a murmuring whisper escaped his lips, as if savoring these words, with his brows tightly furrowed.

Great Eternal Dream!

This is a forbidden technique that surpasses a forbidden technique; though it’s not a forbidden heavenly technique, it is a supreme technique that shakes the heavens and ghosts alike.

What is the Great Eternal Dream?

Ancients like a dream, reincarnation in the skies.

The Great Eternal Dream allows one to exist eternally, yet this existence is not living in reality, but in another form.

It’s as if one is trapped in an eternal dream, in which all potential can be unearthed, elevating oneself at unimaginable speed.

However, this forbidden technique is extremely perilous. If one casts the Great Eternal Dream, they might live eternally in the dream, never awakening again, and the chaotic universe may never witness their presence again.

But the advantages are evident.

Within the Great Eternal Dream, whatever is seen and thought can become reality, the caster can transform into anyone, possessing that person’s everything.

In layman’s terms, within the Great Eternal Dream, Ye Xuan can transform into any forbidden figure he has seen or any supreme existence, mastering the divine secret skills witnessed.

Of course, this is also extremely risky because if Ye Xuan transforms into someone else, he might lose himself, turning into the person he becomes.

Moreover, this is just one aspect. In the Great Eternal Dream, Ye Xuan will continuously reincarnate, experiencing events he’s gone through, even reliving his past and present lives.

The Great Eternal Dream, eternally existing, yet the existence is within the dream, not in the real chaotic universe.

So, the Great Eternal Dream is too dangerous and is the most terrifying forbidden technique Ye Xuan acquired, surpassing the standard forbidden, and even though not as dreadful as the forbidden heavenly technique, it’s terrifyingly extreme.

For living eternally in the dream, henceforth, there is no such person in the world, almost equating to soul scattering and death.

However, the Great Eternal Dream is not a dead end. If the caster can awaken from the dream, all experiences in the dream will manifest on the caster in reality.

Risk and opportunity coexist, blessing and calamity are intertwined, this is the law of the Great Eternal Dream, leaving Ye Xuan with extremely complex emotions.

Initially, he hoped to acquire a forbidden heavenly technique, for only such could he pursue Liu Baiyi, but unfortunately, this Great Eternal Dream is ultimately not the forbidden heavenly technique he desired.

"Master, what’s wrong?"

Seeing Ye Xuan’s unsettled expression, Ye Fengtian cautiously inquired.

"It’s nothing."

Ye Xuan collected his thoughts, suppressing the complex emotions, for no matter what, this Great Eternal Dream is ultimately a trump card, potentially his sole method to endure the Chaos Heavenly Punishment.

"Fengtian, it’s time for us to return."

"Yes, Master."

With a flick of Ye Xuan’s sleeve, a cross-domain gateway opened, and the master and disciple stepped through, disappearing without a trace.
