Chapter 1357: Trapped
"Was I using the Five Lightning True Mantra in my dreams again?" Yu Menghan asked in a surprised manner.
"What am I ever going to do with you..." the elderly woman sighed, but there was a look of doting affection in her eyes.
It had been over ten million years since she had founded the Dream Cloud Sect, but she hadn't been able to find a disciple capable of fully harnessing her teachings. She had stumbled upon Yu Menghan by chance, drawn to her in a dream, and she knew from that moment onward that fate had finally brought her a worthy heir.
Over the course of her extensive cultivation journey, she had managed to reach the pinnacle of the Great Encompassment Stage, and she had always yearned to make the final breakthrough to become the Dream Dao Ancestor, but her hope had waned over time.
Her fated encounter with Yu Menghan had given her another option, and she had placed all over her hope upon her prized disciple.
As it turned out, she did indeed possess exceptional aptitude when it came to cultivating the laws of dreams, and as long as she was willing to work hard in her cultivation, she had a bright future ahead with such a capable mistress to guide her.
However, what was rather exasperating to the elderly woman was that Yu Menghan seemed to have rather stubborn ties to the past, and she was unable to set aside the Five Lightning True Mantra. Whenever she entered a state of slumber to cultivate the Fantastical Dream Mantra, she would always involuntarily cultivate the Five Lightning True Mantra on the side.
The elderly woman simply couldn't bring herself to scold her prized disciple, so in the end, she could only relent as she said, "The Bodhi Banquet is about to begin soon. Once you receive your Bodhi Dao Fruit, make sure to cherish it. It's something that could have life-altering consequences for your cultivation."
"I get one as well?" Yu Menghan asked as her eyes lit up with excitement.
"Of course not. Only those who were officially invited by the Heavenly Court or possess Bodhi Tokens are granted Bodhi Dao Fruits. However, at this stage in my cultivation, the benefits of consuming a Bodhi Dao Fruit are very limited for me, so you can have mine," the elderly woman replied with a smile.
"No, I can't do that! It's yours, Mistress!" Yu Menghan hurriedly protested.
