My dreams can simulate the future.

Chapter 112 Exploiting Zhang Yaoling

Having learned from his previous experience, Jiang Chen headed straight for the Garrison Command after entering the defensive array's coverage area.

Upon entering the main hall of the garrison, he unhesitatingly picked up Zhang Yaoling's natal magic weapon, the Creation Divine Essence Cauldron.

Zhang Yao's soul, now transformed into a spirit, seized the opportunity and immediately entered Jiang Chen's sea of ​​consciousness.

Everything was as before; Jiang Chen retreated directly to the Dream Butterfly Diagram. Upon contact with the Dream Butterfly Diagram, his soul merged directly into it.

Zhang Yaoling's attack struck the Dream Butterfly Painting, stirring up countless ghostly blue lights.

He was then trapped by the eerie blue light in an area only a few feet in diameter.

Jiang Chen's soul remained in the Dream Butterfly Painting, quietly watching him.

Seeing that Jiang Chen was not afraid of him at all, Zhang Yaoling was immediately filled with suspicion.

"Boy, aren't you afraid of me? I'm a Nascent Soul cultivator, I can devour your soul and seize your body at any time."

Jiang Chen glanced at him indifferently: "Oh, I see. Then go ahead and do it."

This bland reaction left Zhang Yaoling completely baffled.

Aren't you afraid of me?

Jiang Chen looked at him expressionlessly: "What's there to be afraid of? You're like a turtle in a jar, what can you possibly do to me?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yaoling stomped his feet in anger: "You little brat, how dare you underestimate me like this!"

Don't forget, this is my territory. With a single command, countless puppets will storm in.

"Those puppets are as strong as Core Formation cultivators. Any one of them could crush you, a mere Qi Refining cultivator."

Jiang Chen didn't take it seriously: "Alright, if you could handle me, you wouldn't be here arguing with me."

If you want to live, you'd better hand over the money you owe to buy your life.

"If you don't want to live, I will activate the power of this treasure map and refine you into a ball of divine essence."

The so-called divine essence is a spiritual object refined from things like souls.

This thing has an extremely strong effect on replenishing spiritual consciousness, and ghost cultivators can also use it to improve their cultivation.

Divine essence is also used in the crafting of puppets and some magical artifacts.

This time, Jiang Chen did not act rashly. Instead, he appeared confident of victory, which made Zhang Yaoling even more uncertain.

He could tell that the Dream Butterfly Map was of a very high level, but he didn't know what the map's purpose was, and he dared not take the risk.

He muttered to himself, "This brat, a mere Qi Refining cultivator, actually managed to obtain such a treasure."

After much deliberation, Zhang Yaoling finally gave in.

"Young friend, I see that you have cultivated a fragment of my sect's [Jade Cauldron Pure Yuan Technique]. In a way, we can be considered fellow disciples."

"How about this: I will pass on the complete Jade Cauldron Pure Yuan Technique to you, and you can let me leave."

Jiang Chen was very interested in this technique, but he also wanted to gather more information.

"The Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns Technique that I am currently practicing is sufficient; there is no need to cultivate other techniques as well."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yaoling's face was full of disdain: "You really have eyes but don't recognize a gem. The Great Dream Thousand Autumns Technique is nothing more than the technique of the Great Dream Sect, an affiliated sect of my Creation Sect."

"Speaking of which, the Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns Technique has some connection with the core techniques of my Creation Sect."

The founder of the Great Dream Sect was originally a core disciple of my Creation Sect.

Because their foundation was damaged and they had no hope of reaching the Nascent Soul stage, they established a family within the sect's territory.

"His descendants were quite promising. They combined the basic content of the three core techniques of my Creation Sect with some Dream Dao techniques and created the Great Dream Thousand Autumns Technique."

Using this technique, they established a sect called the Great Dream Sect.

"This technique is not bad, but it is far inferior to the direct lineage techniques of my Creation Sect."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen was surprised.

"I never imagined that the Great Dream Thousand Autumns Technique and the Creation Sect had such a connection."

Therefore, if I could obtain the three core cultivation techniques of the Creation Sect and use them as a basis to modify the Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns Technique, I should reap considerable benefits.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen immediately said, "In that case, I am quite interested in the three core cultivation techniques of your Creation Sect."

"If you teach me all these core techniques, I'll let you go and won't bother you anymore."

Zhang Yaoling sneered: "You're overthinking it. The inheritance of my Creation Sect is the most advanced in the entire Manglin Continent cultivation world. Non-core disciples are not allowed to cultivate the three methods simultaneously."

I was just an inner disciple back then, and I only practiced the Jade Cauldron Pure Yuan Technique.

"In addition, I have hidden treasures in the garrison headquarters, which I can give to you."

Seeing that he couldn't extract any more benefits in the short term, Jiang Chen decided to stop while he was ahead.

"Alright, hand over the cultivation technique first."

Zhang Yaoling immediately recited the contents of the Jade Cauldron Pure Yuan Technique and even specially condensed the Jade Cauldron Visualization Diagram.

Jiang Chen practiced the technique according to its instructions, and it went very smoothly. Moreover, it did not conflict with the Great Dream Thousand Autumns Technique in the slightest.

The magical power cultivated from the two techniques merged perfectly together.

Moreover, this technique can be cultivated from the Qi Refining stage all the way to the Nascent Soul stage.

In the future, when modifying the Great Dream Thousand Autumns Technique, we can completely follow this technique.

"The Qi Refining stage content of this technique is fine. We'll discuss the Foundation Establishment stage techniques later."

After I reach the Foundation Establishment stage, I can first enter a dream to cultivate this technique. If any problems arise, I can gradually improve it.

The Transmission Hall also contains the Foundation Establishment chapter of the Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns Technique. With cross-referencing and verification, improving the technique shouldn't be difficult.

After cultivating for a long time, Jiang Chen immediately said, "Where is your treasure? Hand it over now!"

Zhang Yaoling seemed to have no intention of resisting at all, and directly revealed the location of the storage jade pendant.

After Jiang Chen received the storage jade pendant, Zhang Yaoling hurriedly said, "All my assets are in this storage jade pendant."

Next, he tried to trick Jiang Chen into sending the jade cauldron and storage jade pendant into his sea of ​​consciousness.

After listening to him for a while, Jiang Chen sneered: "Alright, stop trying to play tricks on me."

I'll send the jade cauldron inside to you. With your physical body protecting you, it will be very difficult for me to harm you."

"Your trump card might be hidden in this storage jade pendant."

"I'm too lazy to argue with you. Either let me open the storage jade pendant on my own, or I'll refine you into divine essence."

Having said that, he activated the true meaning of Dream Butterfly, drawing upon the surrounding dark blue spiritual light.

Seeing that her thoughts had been seen through, and even the identity of the artifact spirit had been revealed, Zhang Yaoling panicked.

"Young friend, you're putting me in a difficult position."

The divine imprint determines the ownership of a magical artifact. If others want to use it, the artifact's owner must personally condense a special recognition inscription.

"If you let me have access to that storage jade pendant, I can indeed let you use it."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen immediately abandoned his idea of ​​activating the jade pendant.

"Countless years have passed, and even if there were pills and precious spiritual herbs in the storage jade pendant, they would have long since lost their effectiveness."

After opening the jade pendant, what you can get are nothing more than some magical artifacts, precious materials, and perhaps puppets and specially made talismans.

Even the information recorded by divine sense has probably vanished without a trace.

"These things are extremely valuable, but for me right now, they're not of much use except for selling them for money."

I don't lack spirit stones right now, but if I were to take out high-level materials, I'm afraid my life would be in danger.

"I'll wait until my cultivation level is higher before slowly erasing the divine imprint on the jade pendant."
