Chapter 179 - 173 Friendship Part 1
Therefore, this is also one of the reasons why the final layer is the hardest to break through.
Lin Fei checked the annotations of the Qi Cultivation Chapter and found that, indeed, this stage is a minor checkpoint. During the cultivation process of the Sword Dao True Solution, even just laying the foundation with the Qi Cultivation Chapter entails many checkpoints. Some major checkpoints might leave a person stuck for a lifetime, unable to break through. This is why many practice the Sword Dao True Solution, but most become famous by relying on other powers. This can be seen from the records of names in the appendix.
Whether it’s Zhang Yuan from the Jue Xian Sect or other commenters, none of them primarily used this as their cultivation scripture, despite their high regard for it.
After checking his current progress, Lin Fei frowned, finding not the slightest advancement. In two more days, he would be on a joint mission with Shueisha. He could only collect his thoughts and adjust his state for now.
He reviewed the matters needing attention.
There’s been no significant activity from the Dream World for the time being. The Wu Family seemed to be waiting for something, and Lin Fei was waiting too.
According to the information on the Wu Family, the one most likely to be a Dream Eater and closest to the True Lies is Wu Yanqing.
Wu Yanqing, a family member who went to America, male, 43 years old, has a daughter and a son. His wife died due to complications during childbirth. He currently manages about half of the Wu Family’s visible assets and is one of the core members. The reason Lin Fei targeted him is that Wu Yanqing has been announced as the future helmsman of the Wu Family. As someone who is likely to assume the position of Clan Leader, it’s highly probable that he is guarding an important piece of the Divine Artifact.
However, for a typical Dream Eater, the True Lies Divine Artifact is nothing but a hot potato that no one wishes to pursue. Because although Dream Eaters can strengthen themselves with the Power of True Lies, this requires time, and the strengthening process is said to be extremely painful. There have been several instances where individuals obtained a piece of the Divine Artifact only to suffer unbearable pain and die from absorbing the Power of True Lies.
Moreover, crucially, after obtaining a piece of the Divine Artifact, the overwhelming Power of True Lies would continuously erode the holder’s body. In other words, once they obtained a piece, the Dream Eater had to endure intense agony, whether they liked it or not.
And for non-Dream Eaters, the Divine Artifact piece is like a tasteless meal; they cannot feel the pain but are also unable to stimulate its power. Furthermore, the Dream World has been out of sync with the Inner World for a long time, so even fewer people are aware of the news about the five great Dream Eater families. Generally, when a low-level Dream Eater encounters a low-level Psychic, the Dream Eater will win 100% of the time. Dream Awakeners naturally have a significant advantage when fighting against other power users as they can drag others into their own Dream World to battle, a method only high-level Inner World experts can resist.
