Cai’er was right beside Long Haochen and immediately sensed the changes in him. She also felt something similar, but it was much less pronounced compared to Long Haochen.

Long Haochen possessed the physique of the Child of Light. The growth of any plant is inseparable from light. The Call of Nature isn’t just a saying; it’s a powerful and very real magic, albeit one of the gentlest types. Those suited to its attribute will receive a significant boost, while others will experience a certain degree of weakening.

At this moment, Long Haochen was like Cai’er when she first entered the Eternal Tower. However, instead of enlightenment, he was experiencing a cleansing. A cleansing of everything within him – both his body and his spiritual energy – seemed to be becoming purer in this Call of Nature. All impurities quietly disappeared with each breath.

In contrast, the demons were having a much harder time. One could see layers of black demonic energy rising from their bodies, resisting the intrusion of the natural aura, and causing them to furrow their brows. If not for Huang Shuo’s restraint, they would have already destroyed the surrounding vegetation.

Nature is a world filled with life, while darkness is filled with death and gloom. Their incompatibility is inevitable.

Huang Shuo said to Ling Xiao, “Let’s move faster. My people and I don’t like it here. If we stay too long, I can’t guarantee I’ll be able to restrain them.”

Ling Xiao said faintly, “Then you can try. Although our cooperation is temporary, since you have fulfilled your promise, we won’t resort to trickery. I’ll repeat myself: this is where the Goddess of Nature once lived. If you recklessly destroy the natural environment here and suffer a backlash, preventing you from entering the Temple of Nature, it’s not our fault for breaking our promise.”

Huang Shuo frowned slightly, but quickly returned to normal, nodding and remaining silent.

The paths within the Dreamlike Forest were rugged and difficult, but this didn’t affect the progress of these powerful individuals. Before setting out, Ling Xiao had repeatedly instructed the people from the Temple Alliance not to damage the vegetation here under any circumstances, or they would be met with the hostility of the Dreamlike Forest.

The deeper they went, the stronger the natural aura became. Ordinary demons might have already lost their patience and started destroying things under this continuous drain. But those who came this time were all Ninth-Order powerhouses, and they naturally had their own methods. At least for now, no problems had arisen.

Ling Xiao had no intention of doing anything within the Dreamlike Forest, partly because of the promise made during the trade. Although demons and humans are mortal enemies, they had historically engaged in trade under certain circumstances. At least so far, neither side had ever broken their promise. If this were to happen, it would probably be impossible to trade again in the future. Therefore, both humans and demons adhered to this bottom line.

Moreover, the situation inside the Dreamlike Temple was not so peaceful. Ling Xiao didn’t think the demons who entered it this time would fare well. What good would letting them in do?

After walking for more than an hour, the scenery suddenly opened up. The dense forest turned into large patches of shrubs. The moment their vision cleared, even the demons couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

Indeed! It was truly beautiful here.

This was an ocean of plants, and even more so, an ocean of flowers. As far as the eye could see, shrubs, only about one meter in height, covered at least ten thousand square meters. At the top of these shrubs grew all kinds of flowers, vibrant and enchanting.

Every step brought a different floral fragrance, and a thin mist hung in the air, making the sunlight less glaring. A hazy and gentle halo shimmered in this world of flowers, truly deserving of the description “Dreamlike.”

In the middle of this ocean of flowers was a small lake, not very large, with a diameter of about two hundred meters. A rich water elemental aura, accompanied by an even richer life aura, slowly spread outward from there.

Ling Xiao stopped and looked at the lake in the distance. “We’re here. This is the place.”

Huang Shuo looked at him in confusion. “Where is the Dreamlike Temple?”

Ling Xiao said, “It’s in this lake.”

“Hmm?” Huang Shuo said in a deep voice, “Are we going to have to dive into the water?” He didn’t mind diving. The Black Dragon clan wasn’t averse to water and could even transform into flood dragons in the water.

Ling Xiao snorted disdainfully. “Diving into the water can indeed get you into the Dreamlike Temple. But you can try. What does it mean that the Dreamlike Temple only opens once every hundred years? If it were that simple, would we have to wait a century?”

Huang Shuo asked in confusion, “What’s in this water? A seal?”

Ling Xiao said, “Why should I tell you?” As he spoke, he raised his right hand and opened it in front of Huang Shuo.

Huang Shuo’s unwilling expression changed, but he still took something out and placed it in Ling Xiao’s palm.

Ling Xiao’s usually tense face actually showed a rare smile after seeing the item. He said faintly, “Alright, I’ll tell you. In this lake, there lives an ancient powerhouse. It is said that it was once the guardian of the Goddess of Nature. It has lived here for at least tens of thousands of years. If you’re not afraid of death, you can dive down and take a look. Experience the power of this ancient powerhouse.”

Huang Shuo said in surprise, “A magical beast from the ancient era? Do you know what kind?”

Ling Xiao’s right hand went up again. Han Qian next to him turned his head away, pretending not to see, but the smile in his eyes was undeniable.

Huang Shuo said with slight anger, “Don’t go too far.”

Ling Xiao’s face actually showed a hint of innocence. “You didn’t have to ask.”

Resisting his anger, Huang Shuo once again took out something identical to the previous one and placed it in Ling Xiao’s hand. “Speak.”

Ling Xiao’s expression changed slightly. After a moment of contemplation, he said, “It’s nothing to tell you. In this lake lives a Spirit Dragon. A Spirit Dragon that has lived for tens of thousands of years.”

Huang Shuo gasped. The anger on his face quickly subsided. He nodded and said, “Thank you.”

Ling Xiao had felt something was wrong earlier. This guy had taken out two pieces of dragon fat so easily, just to exchange for two pieces of information from him. Looking at him now, he didn’t seem to think he was at a disadvantage. Could there be a problem? He couldn’t help but start to regret it. But the words were already spoken, and it was too late.

Huang Shuo said, “Since there is a Spirit Dragon in the lake, how can we enter the Dreamlike Temple?”

Ling Xiao said, “Within a day at most, the Dreamlike Temple will open. At that time, it will rise to the surface of the lake on its own, and a path will connect to the shore. Just walk across it.”

Huang Shuo nodded slightly and said, “Then let’s wait.” As he spoke, he led the group of demonic powerhouses to the side and sat down. Having come to the lakeside where the Dreamlike Temple existed, the natural aura’s erosion on them had lessened somewhat. The hundreds of demons each found a place to sit and meditate together. They appeared very quiet.

The Temple Alliance was the same. Everyone sat down and quietly waited for the opening of the Dreamlike Temple.

Long Haochen seemed to unintentionally look towards the demons, and happened to see Yue Ye looking at him. Not just her, Leng Xiao was too. But the gazes of the two women were different.

Yue Ye was smiling slightly, her gaze gentle and tender, like she was looking at her man. Leng Xiao, on the other hand, had a fierce expression. Her cold gaze seemed to want to pierce through Long Haochen.

Yue Ye’s expression suddenly changed, and she turned her head away. It was because she sensed Cai’er’s gaze. Leng Xiao looked at Long Haochen and Cai’er fearlessly, and even flexed her fist.

Sitting in front of Leng Xiao and Yue Ye was a young man. He seemed to be the leader of the demons who were preparing to enter the Dreamlike Temple. He was tall and slender, and looked to be around twenty years old. Strangely, he not only had black hair, but also black eyes. He sat cross-legged very quietly, and the aura around him seemed to be non-existent.

Long Haochen’s gaze was naturally drawn to this black-haired, black-eyed young man. In the other party’s calmness, he sensed a strong threat.

The young man seemed to sense Long Haochen’s gaze, and slowly turned his head. When the two men’s eyes met, Long Haochen saw emptiness, while the black-haired young man saw clarity. But, to their surprise, they didn’t feel hostile towards each other in this first exchange of glances. It was as if they weren’t meant to be enemies.

This black-haired, black-eyed young man was also very handsome. Seeing him, Long Haochen seemed to have a sense of deja vu, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

The young man’s eyes suddenly turned cold, and a sharp killing intent flashed past. However, Long Haochen could feel that this killing intent was forcibly released. There was only killing intent, but no malice.

What was going on? Had he seen him before? But Long Haochen was confident in his memory, and he couldn’t recall ever seeing a young man like this before!

Turning his head back, no longer looking at the other party, Long Haochen slowly closed his eyes. In this tranquil nature, the feeling of cleansing lingered. Others felt that the natural aura had weakened after arriving here, but Long Haochen felt the opposite. He discovered that although the natural aura here was very faint, it was extremely pure. The reason why it felt weaker was because this pure natural aura even rejected humans. It seemed to be afraid of being contaminated with impurities and didn’t want to approach them.

The pure and substantial natural aura quietly poured into Long Haochen’s body, cleansing and nourishing him. That strange feeling of enlightenment also appeared, and faintly, Long Haochen felt that he had grasped something. Gradually, his heart became clearer.
