Ascending, Do Not Disturb!

Chapter 75: Treasure Chest

Under the moonlight, the manor was shrouded in peace. The stone monument outside the manor gates stood silently under the moon. On its back where the moonlight did not shine, two words could be made out.

Dream Manor.

When people learned to think, they already knew to dream. While cultivators knew to comprehend the paths of the universe, cultivators, strictly speaking, were still mortals and could not be considered immortals.

Kong Hou lay on her own bed, wrapped the soft blankets around her and slept. The ribbon tied to her wrist gave off faint light in the darkness, just like a small lantern illuminating the dim room.

She started to dream again. Strangely, this time, she was not in the dream. She was an objective observer who could see everything that occurred but could not join in.

In the dream, heavy snow came down on Splendid Cloud Sect, and the entire mountain was covered in white snow. However, even more eye-catching than the white snow were the white banners hanging off the gates and the roofs as well as Qing Yuan Shishu who was kneeling in the memorial hall.

Compared to Qing Yuan Shishu of reality who had a ruddy complexion, the Qing Yuan Shishu of the dream looked both thin and fragile, his face full of guilt. Outside the memorial hall, Eldest Shixiong and Second Shixiong were desolate as they allowed the snow to accumulate on their heads. Soon, she saw other familiar people of Splendid Cloud Mountain, but she did not see Master.

Where had Master gone?

She wanted to find Master but she could not control the world in the dream. She did not find Master, but she saw the Du father and son in Mound City have a conflict with Clear Dawn Sect’s Ling Bo and almost fight. At this time, the evil cultivator who had disguised himself as an ordinary cultivator took the opportunity to kill Du Jing. After this, Mound City made a rule to stop Clear Dawn Sect’s disciples from entering the city.

Why was it like this? Kong Hou watched as the nomad cultivators in the dream believed in the evil cultivator’s words, and the relationship with sect disciples worsened. She watched as some of the talented disciples of Cool Breeze Sect were killed by evil cultivators and their spirit platform’s spirit energy was stolen. Also, Willow Speech Sect and Green Jade Sect’s conflict intensified due to the sect disciple of Willow Speech Sect destroying the engagement on the same day. It worsened to the point where the disciples of the two sects would fight if they met, and they would even injure innocent people in their battles.

in this dream, she did not appear, Huan Zhong did not appear. Everything seemed to have nothing to do with them.

Where was Huan Zhong, where was Elder Lin—where did they go?

That was an evil cultivator, do not believe him!

Kong Hou wanted to awaken the nomad cultivators who had terrible relationships with the sect disciples but she could not speak. She could only watch the scenes and helplessly accept everything in her panic.

Then Kong Hou gradually understood. This dream was specifically to get to her. The more she did not want something to happen, something would definitely happen. The more she wanted to see someone, it would not let her see them.

After understanding this, Kong Hou was not in a hurry. She relaxed her body and mind, and tried to see if she could use her resolve to change the direction of the dream. But this dream was extremely stubborn. It would not let Kong Hou change the dream, and also constantly let her see how grand the evil cultivators had it.

Kong Hou became angry, and then so angry she woke up. Her blanket had fallen to the ground. Rain drummed on the window. Sometime in the night, rain had started again.
