Chapter 2262: How Long Did That Dream Last?
Edited by RED
In the Imperial Court of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, the Shrines had incredible privileges. Their headquarters were gigantic pyramids which towered over that gigantic territory.
However, the Shrines hadn’t been that relaxed for the last few years. Chu Chun Qiu was still in Ganges Time, he had already become extremely strong. A short time before, he had defeated a Celestial Imperial Beast, his fighting abilities were shocking, he was progressing way too fast and the Supreme Animal World also supported him a lot. After the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, he had almost immediately become a Great Emperor; now, a dozen years had passed and he was already a Celestial Emperor. That kind of speed was astonishing and breathtaking.
The Shrines felt pressured. Was Chu Chun Qiu that guy?
All the Shrines paid attention to Chu Chun Qiu. Everybody in the Imperial Court of the Continent of the Nine Clouds paid attention to him, actually. Back then, during the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, many people had paid attention to him and a few others. However, after the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, many people had stopped paying attention to the others, especially since many of them had left the Imperial Court of the Continent of the Nine Clouds.
Of course, in the Imperial Court of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, there were many, many strong cultivators. Many of them paid attention to Chu Chun Qiu, as he was a core disciple in a Shrine. Core disciples, no matter which Shrine they belonged to, were extremely strong. There were also some other influential groups, many of them very strong cultivators. Many of them were at the top of the Huang Qi layer already.
Everybody was becoming stronger. Even the strongest cultivators of the Continent of the Nine Clouds were becoming stronger, including the Holy City. People of the same generations continued competing. Such things influenced everybody, and every faction.

However, Lin Feng didn’t care about those things. At that moment, he was in Purple Clouds, in a cave situated in a place where there weren’t many people. He was seated cross-legged practicing cultivation. The Fighting Phantom Protectors were with him.
He was visualizing various things.
There was a scene with one Lin Feng, he was at the very top of a mountain, watching the sun rise and set. He was living like a hermit. Another scene was Lin Feng traveling around the world. Another scene was Lin Feng, living in a small village and hunting with other villagers; he met a woman he liked, and they got married. He didn’t disappoint her, even though he felt lonely in the end because his mood and thoughts changed with time as he grew older.
There were many other scenes; Lin Feng’s clones, the Three Lives Scriptures. Lin Feng could make as many ordinary clones as he wanted, those clones could have ordinary lives. Lin Feng was wondering whether the Three Lives Great Emperor was doing that too, whether he had many clones everywhere in the world.
The original Lin Feng’s hair was very long, and his beard was long, too. He started looking more mature. However, he didn’t know that, he just continued meditating. Apart from Purple Clouds, he was also in many other places, many other places in the continent, many other places in small worlds, many places in his own small world.
Gradually, it was as if one brain wasn’t enough anymore. It was like a dream, as if all those lives had been dreams.

One day, Lin Feng went into a dream; he was in a restaurant, working as a servant. Every day, he chatted with guests and heard them talk about interesting stories in the continent. Lin Feng smiled indifferently. Ordinary days like that were also pleasant.
However, not every dream was great. Lin Feng was in another dream, and there he was a hunter in a village and had gotten married with a beautiful woman from the village, as well. Their relationship was harmonious. However, one day, a group of brigands arrived and attacked them. They killed everyone. Lin Feng was furious. He wished he could have gone there himself with his real body to kill them.
Lin Feng’s real body was asleep, but he was still furious. However, he also managed to calm down. Millions of clones, millions of lives, could he remain calm? Wasn’t he lonely actually? Could he just let nature take its course? He gradually calmed down when thinking about that. After that, in other dreams, he ended up in many other similar situations. His mood, his perceptions, his vision were changing.
Everything was changing everywhere. The same thing happened in his spirit’s world. It was becoming bigger and bigger. It was almost a perfect small world. There were all sorts of Qi, all sorts of energies, but at the same time, that world corresponded to Lin Feng’s vision and it was improving quickly.
Lin Feng’s real body was asleep. An ancient tree appeared indistinctly around him. Terrifying cosmic energies surrounded his body. They were intense and contained the strength of the ten thousand things of creation around Lin Feng.
But Lin Feng didn’t move. He was sleeping. In his mind, golden lights intertwined. His godly awareness started communicating with the earth and sky.
Lin Feng dreamed about many, many things. Apart from dreaming of millions of lives, he also dreamt about cultivation, he dreamt about the World of the Living Imprints attacks. In his dream, he understood those attacks even better. One attack, and it seemed that the earth and sky could collapse.
He also dreamed about his spirit, about many other spirits, and finally, he dreamt of his most powerful spirit, the celestial book spirit. All the pages looked dazzling and beautiful.
In that dream, he studied a lot. Time passed in the outside world, but Lin Feng forgot about time.

The Imperial Court of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, the Continent of the Nine Clouds, everything changed.
In the Snow Clan, a beautiful silhouette appeared on a snowy field. Her Qi looked extraordinary. She was standing at the top of a mountain, gazing into the distance. She was thinking about him, missing him.
Finally, tears appeared in her eyes, her lips twitched and she said, “I’ve been a lone fox for a thousand years, I’ve been lonely for a thousand years, I love you unconditionally, you passed the imperial examinations, I want to dance for you again…”
“May I dance for you, may I dance for you…” she was singing. Her voice was beautiful. She started dancing, looking extremely beautiful as she danced with the snow. Could he see her dance, though?
Snowflakes floated around her. She continued chanting.
In the distance was a snowy tree. A young man was standing there. He was wearing armor, but tears appeared in his eyes.
He raised his head, his eyes were red, he took a deep breath and swore, “Someday, I will do my best so that nobody forces my parents to live apart. If anyone stops me, rivers of blood will flow, even if those people are from the Snow Clan!”
On that day, that young man was eighteen years old; the twenty-year period was imminent!!!
On that day, Lin Feng was dreaming!
