My Dreams Connect to Ancient Times

「Shengjing.」

A young prodigy from the Demon Race frowned and said:

"The Human Race's Lu Zi... could he be an obstacle to us crossing the border?"

Beside him, Xuan Tong—the direct son of a Demon Saint and the leader of this group of Demon Race prodigies—also frowned and shook his head.

"I do not know... but the methods that so-called Lu Zi has displayed are a bit outrageous."

The Demon Race prodigies looked at each other, their faces turning grim, tinged with a hint of terror.

Creating tens of millions of Cultivators at the Jade Tower level with a wave of his hand was one thing, but creating two True Immortals...

A True Immortal is the equivalent of a Demon Race Little Saint!

For a moment, panic appeared on the faces of most of the Demon Race prodigies. But the Guardian, who had been silent all this time, lifted his eyelids and said flatly:

"I have studied the so-called Sages of the Human Race. A Great Sage is, at best, comparable to an Earth Immortal. Even a Great Virtue is only equivalent to the Grand Grade Level."

After a pause, he continued slowly:

"If my guess is correct, that Lu Zi's world-shaking feat is likely related to the Human Dao Fortune. The Human Race occupies the Origin Land, and their fortune is overwhelming. Nothing they do should be surprising... Report this to the Saints. We must speed up the peace talks and cross the border ahead of schedule."

Xuan Tong glanced sideways and nodded slightly.

"Elder Xuan is right. As long as the Saints can take control of the Origin Land and reclaim the overwhelming fortune that was originally ours, what does that so-called Lu Zi even matter?"

He paused, then gave a faint smile.

"My father is a Demon Saint. It is only because of the world's restrictions that he cannot appear right now. Otherwise, if my father were to show himself, he could shatter the so-called Great Wall Border with a single strike and kill any of the so-called Human Race Sages with a single finger!"

Elder Xuan nodded from the side and said:

"In the martial competition with the Human Race's young prodigies at the start of the year, be ruthless. Break the spine of their younger generation. That will also deal a heavy blow to the Human Race's fortune. When that time comes, the Little Saints' advance across the border will be unstoppable."

"Of course."

Xuan Tong grinned, a cold look on his face as he said grimly:

"I've looked into it. Among the Human Race's younger generation, the strongest is only at the initial stage of the Celestial Human realm. They're laughably weak. I can suppress them all with one hand... I'm just waiting for the competition!"

As the direct son of an Immortal, he was full of confidence. His own power was already close to the Earth Immortal level, and he possessed many wondrous techniques. Though conceited and proud, he indeed had the qualifications to be so.

The many Demon Race prodigies all began to laugh, rubbing their fists together as a bloodthirsty light flashed in their eyes.

One of the Demon Race prodigies chuckled slyly and suggested:

"Should we find a couple more human women to serve us today?"

"Fine." Xuan Tong nodded slightly, his gaze turning a little deeper as he looked at the figure of Lu Zi standing on the clouds on the television screen.

...

「In a certain city.」

Li Xiaosang was struck by the Divine Essence and diluted Innate Material, and she remained immersed in her cultivation for a long time.

When she opened her eyes again, her cultivation had already risen from the initial stage of the Grandmaster realm to the peak Grandmaster level. She was just one opportunity away from peering into the Celestial Human realm!

She hugged the palm-sized bronze statue, dazed for a long while, before her spirits suddenly fell.

'He's already reached such incredible heights...'

As she murmured to herself, the disheartened Li Xiaosang seemed to make a decision. She looked at the nearly decaying bronze statue in her arms and spoke with great seriousness:

"Grandpa Yin, I am willing to let you borrow my body for three years."

The remnant soul had previously said that Li Xiaosang had a great obsession in her heart, an obsession rooted in love. That was true, but not entirely.

This obsession was indeed related to Lu Xuan, but she had long since cut off all thoughts of him. The root of her obsession was the desire to catch up to that young man's pace, and even... surpass him.

Now, she no longer dared to dream of surpassing him. She only hoped to catch up, to be able to see his back in the distance...

With that thought, Li Xiaosang took a deep breath and looked down at the bronze statue again.

"Grandpa Yin, I have already lowered all my mental defenses. You can..."

"Don't, don't, don't!!"

The remnant soul in the bronze statue seemed to have just snapped out of its daze and terror, letting out a shriek:

"Little girl, just pretend I never said anything about it! I didn't know you had a history with my Martial Uncle! Don't mention borrowing your body again, don't ever mention it again!"

As it shrieked, the bronze statue trembled slightly, and the remnant soul's voice quavered as it continued:

"Little girl, let's make a deal. Why don't you give me away to someone else? In return, I can teach you some Dharma Scriptures from the True Immortal or even the Celestial Venerable level! I can even take you to a couple of ancient ruins to dig up some lost treasures from Ancient Times!"

Li Xiaosang was dumbfounded.

After a moment, she spoke, her voice dry:

"Grandpa Yin... why?"

The remnant soul in the bronze statue shivered, seemingly lost in a memory, and muttered to itself:

"I wouldn't dare provoke him again. Back then, I just accidentally got in his way a little when he was Invading Qi, and my master punished me by sealing me in this bronze statue to reflect on my misdeeds..."

"Besides, do you have any idea what it means that my Martial Uncle created a Peach of Immortality out of thin air?? Oh, you probably don't even know what a Peach of Immortality is..."

"Anyway, little girl, could you please give the bronze statue to someone else? Selling it to an antique market would be fine too!!"

Li Xiaosang opened her mouth, fell silent for a long time, and finally nodded.

"Okay."

She lowered her eyelids and sighed. The remnant soul in the bronze statue also let out a sigh of relief, but then it immediately sensed something was wrong.

'Huh?'

'This girl's obsession... why has it dissipated?'

After a long while, Li Xiaosang, having recomposed herself, left the house with the bronze statue. As she walked down the long street, everyone was talking about the Lu Zi who had dispensed judgment and rewards, the one who said he would illuminate the entire land.

Li Xiaosang listened for a moment, smiled, but said nothing. She simply found a random antique shop, sold the bronze statue to the owner, and left.
