How to cultivate with utmost speed? First seek and gather, then delve deeper for greater convenience.

The very core of the 《Five Immortals Like Dream Order》 lies within the “Like Dream Order” itself. And the heart of the “Like Dream Order,” in turn, is the “Dream.”

Investigating its cultivation essence reveals it is a method to explore that elusive element required by the 《Voice-Hearing Immortal Canon》 – a non-existent entity. Cultivators visualize the myriad qualities this scripture demands within a dream, and then, employing a secret technique, endeavor to manifest them. Of course, the actualized effect falls short by a thousand leagues.

The founding ancestor of the Five Immortals Sect did not know that the key missing piece of the 《Voice-Hearing Immortal Canon》 was a technique intermediary. Yet, she managed to summarize the requirements the scripture lacked, naming it “Order.” This implied that the core of the secret technique, the crucial juncture of all Dao methods, lay within this “Order.”

Only when he truly began cultivating the voice section of the 《Five Immortals Like Dream Order》 did Jiang Wang confirm that the greatest value of the Five Immortals Sect might not lie in the inherited remnants of the Wanxian Palace, but rather in this “Like Dream Order.” This secret technique, which utilizes visualization to enter a dream and then manifest it, simply possesses boundless potential for imagination.

The legendary “Divine Foot Passage” is said to be “Where the heart thinks, the foot arrives.” Its essence lies in exploring the power of the “Heart,” approaching the realm where fantasy becomes reality, a power of immense magnitude.

This “Like Dream Order” is similar in nature! Of course, if the “Divine Foot Passage” is likened to a peak ten thousand zhang tall, the Five Immortals Sect’s “Like Dream Order” is merely at the foot of the mountain. But in terms of future potential for imagination, the limit of the Divine Foot Passage is merely the reach of the sky’s edge, while the limit of the Like Dream Order depends solely on the practitioner’s own ability!

Naturally, a greater imagination does not necessarily translate to a greater secret technique. Impractical imaginings are naught but ephemeral bubbles. Throughout cultivation history, how many bizarre and fantastical delusions have ever been truly acknowledged? Just as the 《Five Immortals Like Dream Order》 has been passed down through so many years, the Five Immortals Sect remains inconsequential, and the Like Dream Order remains obscure and unknown. Yet, the “Divine Foot Passage” is a supreme divine ability of the Buddhist sect.

Compared to the directness of the “Divine Foot Passage,” the Like Dream Order still necessitates the intermediary of the dream realm. This is truly a choice made when force falls short, but it further highlights the genius of the Five Immortals Sect’s ancestor! Her creative brilliance, transcending the chasm between cultivation and knowledge, is truly admirable.

The more Jiang Wang cultivated, the more he felt this sentiment. How many geniuses exist in this world, and yet how few are ultimately able to achieve something? A genius like the Five Immortals Sect ancestor, obscure and unknown. The foundation she single-handedly built also perished in a single night. If not for Fan Qingqing’s escape, at this moment, no one in the world would even know of its existence.

The winds of fate ever blow, and the rain washes away all traces! The more one witnesses, the more one needs to understand reverence.

The cultivation process of the Like Dream Order is not easy, but compared to the cultivation experiences of the Five Immortals Sect predecessors recorded on the jade slip, it is far simpler, far easier! Dream soul, dream soul, they rely on each other to exist. With Jiang Wang’s spiritual soul ability far surpassing that of cultivators at the same rank, entering a dream is effortless, and constructing a dream realm is absolutely not a difficult matter. The true challenge lies in the step where “Like Dream” becomes “Order,” requiring meticulous contemplation.

This process is incredibly tedious. The Like Dream Order fully utilizes three hundred and seventy-two paths of seal inscriptions to manifest a portion of the visualized dream characteristics. This allows the Like Dream “Order” to slightly approach the technique intermediary itself. This is already the result after successive Five Immortals Sect sect masters and elders have revised and reduced it; at its highest point, the number of seal inscriptions reached four hundred and seventeen paths. It can be said that the Like Dream Order is completely impossible to apply in battle; it is overly tedious and its power is weak. But when used for cultivation, there is no problem; it can serve as a substitute technique intermediary to complete immortal technique cultivation. If Jiang Wang were to later obtain more immortal techniques from the Cloud Top Immortal Palace but lacked other technique intermediaries, then the Like Dream Order might also be an option.

Compared to the successive Five Immortals Sect sect masters, Jiang Wang possesses one major advantage: he truly masters immortal techniques and has continuous technique intermediaries! He can understand the 《Voice-Hearing Immortal Canon》 even better, and moreover, he can objectively explore the gap between the Like Dream Order and a true technique intermediary by attempting to substitute the Shanfu Qingyun method with the Like Dream Order. This allows him to further refine the Like Dream Order. The Five Immortals Sect ancestor, no matter how genius she was, her understanding of technique intermediaries existed only in her imagination. She only knew that something was needed, but she did not know specifically what that thing was. Regardless of anything else, this was a chasm in knowledge.

Confucians say to read ten thousand volumes and travel ten thousand li, all to accumulate the peak of knowledge, thereby walking further on the path of cultivation. With the existence of the Cloud Top Immortal Palace, Jiang Wang has the confidence to take a further step in substituting the technique intermediary with the Like Dream Order. Of course, using the Dao Proving Platform for deduction, inputting all the information on the Like Dream Order and Pingbu Qingyun, and finally obtaining the finished product would undoubtedly be more perfect, and this process would also be more convenient. As long as there is enough merit, one can infinitely approach the limit of the stage.

But Jiang Wang does not plan to deduce in the Taixu Illusion Realm. This Like Dream Order is so unique, not some commonplace ordinary item. The Taixu Illusion Realm is also so mysterious, and it clearly has demands regarding techniques. Before, he had no choice; now he does. Before probing its depths, he does not plan to share his unique power with the people or forces behind the Taixu Illusion Realm. This cautiousness has been with him throughout, even his Human Dao sword style has never been contributed to the Dao Proving Platform.

A cultivator’s five senses naturally far surpass those of ordinary people. But that is all a natural refinement by Dao Yuan, a natural progression of the physical body. Furthermore, there are various secret methods, various targeted enhancements. There is no lack of world-renowned pupil techniques, often deciding victory invisibly. Some can lightly sniff and distinguish thousands of mixed scents… But all those related secret techniques have the cultivators themselves as their main body. People use their ears, eyes, and other body parts as “tools” to play various roles and unleash various Dao techniques. This is what is meant by “Organs,” tools for use.

The “voice part of the Five Immortals Like Dream Order,” or rather the 《Voice-Hearing Immortal Canon》, is different. Its main body is the “Ear.” The ear is not an organ; the ear is another person. It is a “spirit” that is connected as one with you, completely submitted to you, yet also independent. Treat the ear as a cultivator, and ultimately assist it in becoming immortal. This is not something that can be achieved overnight; one’s own cultivation journey is still long, and cultivating the ear to become immortal is naturally not simple either. However, Jiang Wang has never lacked the persistence of water dripping through stone.

During cultivation, the sense of time becomes very vague. One only knows that the boat follows the water, gradually drifting far into the distance. In a hazy state, a sudden alert arose in his heart. Jiang Wang abruptly opened his eyes!

“Captain Jiang, don’t be tense,” a familiar female voice said.

At this moment, within the ship cabin, there were already two more people. One of them wore a green square turban on her head, with slightly disheveled strands of hair in front of her forehead. Her breathing was slightly irregular, but her eyes were still clear, bright, and full of spirit. If not Lin Youxie, then who? The other had a head full of silver threads, with only two symmetrical strands of black hair at her temples.
