But the night wanderers of the Earth Mother Plain found him a second one.
He also observed that the purple specks of light in the bag landed on the surface of the gemstone and were quickly absorbed by it.
Bao Chihai explained, "When the Night Wanderers first caught these things, they were all caterpillars bigger than the palm of your hand, hiding at a depth of six zhang and six chi underground, and they mostly appeared in front of and behind the human dwellings in the Dragon-Trapping Cave."
"These purple caterpillars must be the foundation of the Dream Kingdom of the Goddess of Joy, containing abundant dream power. Because of them, although no one dreams within the Dragon-Trapping Cave, the Dream Kingdom can still exist for a short time."
He Lingchuan understood: "It's these formations that continuously supply power to the Dream Kingdom?"
"You could say they are the foundational reality of the dream world." To be honest, this point was also very inspiring for Bao Chihai; the Goddess of Illusion is indeed a master of innovation.
He pointed to the bag again: "But when we caught them and put them in the bag, they melted and turned into this."
They are merely the foundation stones of a dream. Whether it's a firefly or a caterpillar, it's just a facade.
"What's the deal with this gem in the middle?"
"It doesn't exist inside the Kunlong Cave. Instead, one of our Night Wanderers accidentally discovered it on the other side of the mountain when he went to the northwest of the Kunlong Cave to look for these formations," Bao Chihai said. "This thing was hidden inside the belly of a large fish, swimming happily in the deep ravine. If it weren't for the Night Wanderer's particularly keen sense of smell for dreamlike objects, other immortals or heavenly demons would not have noticed its existence."
As He Lingchuan examined the purple gemstone, he asked him, "What do you think this is?"
Upon closer inspection, he could see it very clearly. Although it was a gemstone, it looked somewhat soft, and there seemed to be some kind of substance flowing in its center.
It was like light, yet also like… He Lingchuan murmured, “A divine soul?”
"Your Majesty is wise." Bao Chihai thought to himself, "Great minds think alike." "The dreamlike aura on this gem is a thousand times stronger than that of the other formations. We believe that the Goddess of Illusion Music may have placed a part of her divine soul, divine power, divine personality, and perhaps even her memories inside it."
He Lingchuan blurted out: "For the sake of being resurrected from the dead."
General Hong did indeed say that the Goddess of Illusion had a record of being resurrected from the dead, and twice at that. "It seems that this is the secret of the Goddess of Illusion's resurrection."
Who could have guessed that the battle on the Earth Mother Plains would be exceptionally perilous? To be on the safe side, He had hidden a part of Himself in this purple gem—or the Dream Cocoon—beforehand, placing it outside the Dragon-Trapping Ridge.
Even if the original being perishes in the great battle, His avatars will still exist. Given time, His avatars can emerge from their cocoons and become the new Goddess of Illusionary Music.
Memory shapes personality.
As long as the memories of the past remain, she is still the Goddess of Illusion and Music. This is merely a rebirth after a tribulation, at the cost of losing her original strength and the memory of a great battle.
Compared to permanent annihilation, this is a loss that can be fully accepted.
Bao Chihai pointed to the slowly disappearing blue light spot and said, "The Dream Cocoon of the Goddess of Illusionary Music is absorbing its original energy."
"When will He be able to break free from His cocoon?"
Although Bao Chihai had a nightmare, this was the first time he had encountered such a thing, and he had no confidence.
The only thing he was certain of was: "The energy of this dream cocoon is very stable and should remain in this state for some time."
Since that's the case, there's no rush to deal with this right now; He Lingchuan has more important matters to attend to. Just as he was about to casually put away the Dream Cocoon, Bao Chihai suddenly said, "Your Majesty, why don't you eat it?"
"Hmm?" He Lingchuan was a little surprised.
“The battle of dreams is also a battle of the soul. You have been injured and will have to deal with several great demons next. You should take care of your sacred body.” Bao Chihai pointed to the Dream Cocoon and said, “The repair of soul injuries is very slow and there is usually no quick medicine, but the Dream Cocoon of the Goddess of Illusion Music should be an exception.”
He Lingchuan hesitated for a moment: "Is this an avatar of the Goddess of Dreams?"
“Of course, but it’s still in a chaotic state, possessing only refined soul energy but no consciousness, much like an egg,” Bao Chihai laughed. “Don’t we eat eggs all the time?”
He continued, "Whether it's the Goddess of Illusion or Nightmare, they usually feed on human soul energy. Conversely, it's a great tonic for your current state."
Others may not know the state of He Lingchuan's soul, but Bao Chihai knows it all too well. Before entering the Illusory Music Divine Kingdom, the Emperor's soul had already been severely injured for some unknown reason. After experiencing the fierce battle in the Divine Kingdom, against a powerful figure like the Sea Emperor Xuandu, his current state must be even worse, requiring immediate healing.
Otherwise, how would we fight the battles that followed? Bao Chihai shuddered at the thought.
He made sense. He shook the sheath bag, and after the purple light spots were absorbed by the Dream Cocoon, he took out the round cocoon.
Following Bao Chihai's instructions, he did not swallow the thing whole, but instead punctured it and placed it on his philtrum, inhaling through both his mouth and nose at the same time.
The purple aura inside the cocoon is inhaled through the mouth and nose, but it doesn't go down into the stomach; instead, it goes directly into the brain.
It feels similar to eating ice cream on a hot summer day; it cools you from your five senses to your brain, right up to the top of your head.
Riding this momentum, He Lingchuan entered the pagoda and meditated for a short while, guiding Huanle's soul power to repair his injuries.
Time is extremely precious, but sharpening your axe won't delay your woodcutting.
When he came out of the pagoda again, his expression was clearly different; his face had regained color and was no longer ashen.
He Yue looked at him with relief and said happily, "Big brother, the swelling in your eyes has gone down!"
He Lingchuan's right eye has basically recovered. Although there are still a few blood vessels, he can no longer see people with bloodshot eyes.
"I'm fine now, don't worry." He Lingchuan felt that his soul injury had healed by about 70-80%. The persistent dull pain in his head had basically disappeared. It felt like someone who had stayed up for two long nights had finally gotten three hours of deep sleep before waking up. Even his thoughts were much more agile.
Once my mind cleared up, I felt completely relaxed.
He had previously taken medicine grown from the Juluo Tree Box, but it hadn't had such good effects. The Goddess of Illusionary Music truly lived up to her name; the Dream Cocoon was indeed a great tonic for him. The energy it contained was exceptionally pure, without a trace of impurity, and could be absorbed directly.
He Lingchuan recalled the other Dream Cocoon that had been taken away by Chaos. What was the Great Square Pot planning to do with it?
Judging from Hun Dun's cautious manner, not letting him touch it, this thing is probably very important to Da Fang Hu, right? The pot hasn't asked him for anything for a long time, but the goddess of illusion and music has a unique divine status and talent. Perhaps Da Fang Hu is very interested in her and plans to study her carefully?
