The sequence is too involutional, luckily I am too.

Chapter 145 I Love Killing in My Dreams! Passing on Secret Techniques

Filled with doubt, Lu Yan carefully examined the rules of Yin Yang Gui.

[Something bad will happen sooner or later: After the rule is activated, the person under the spell can only go out when the sunlight and moonlight are at their strongest, otherwise their "joy" will gradually spiral out of control, leading to death by laughing hysterically!]

Lu Yan: "————Well, at least we can't only go out at noon, that's pretty humane."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He originally thought that the rules of the Mirror Ghost were already pretty good, but he didn't expect that the Yin-Yang Ghost would be even more outrageous.

Unless one's mental strength far surpasses that of Yin Yang Gui, then one really can only go out at noon.

As for the night—who in their right mind would go out in the middle of the night, especially when Wan Zhuliu is frantically arresting people!

As for how to do it silently—

With a thought, Lu Yan instantly transformed into the Son of Death and began to sense the surrounding followers of the evil god.

The next instant, a series of strange auras appeared in its senses, and their number was more than half again as large as before!

"This number seems a bit outrageous."

Lu Yan frowned. He understood the practice of baiting the fishing spot, but too many fish could lead to disaster.

"No matter what, let's deal with some of them first."

With a thought, the Black Forest Domain reopened, gradually connecting with the dreams of the recent followers of the Ghost God.

Yin Yang Gui skillfully followed the path, entering their dreams one by one.

Lu Yan wanted to try to see if he could spread the unorthodox rules of Yin and Yang through dreams.

This also serves as a test to see if murder committed in a dream can be accepted by the executioner.

If it's feasible, he should upgrade the other six demons as soon as possible.

The seven heads possess the bizarre ability to kill based on emotions, and can even kill in dreams.

Tsk~ It sounds pretty good!

Just then, a string of subtitles popped up in front of Lu Yan's eyes.

【Black Forest Lord Promotion Condition 1: Master the Mysterious Seven-Headed Enlightenment Rule (1/7) - Incomplete】

[Second condition for promotion to Lord of the Black Forest: ? ? ? — Incomplete]

[Black Forest Lord Promotion Condition Three: —Incomplete]

[Dark Forest Lord Promotion Condition Four: —Incomplete]

"Only one condition was revealed —"

Lu Yan felt somewhat regretful, as the sequence level increased, the difficulty of obtaining sequence information really did become higher and higher.

In other words, he has a control panel, and he can reveal relevant information by performing the corresponding actions.

If it were anyone else, they would just be running around aimlessly like a headless fly.

Lu Yan's thoughts were momentarily distracted, but he quickly turned his attention back to the important matter at hand.

Yin Yang Gui has successfully invaded the dreams of several followers of the Gui Shen (a deity associated with ghosts and demons).

"Lu Yan! Lu Yan! Are you there?"

Yin Shuo's loud voice reached Lu Yan's ears from outside the manor.

He slowly opened his eyes and immediately checked his cultivation progress.

[Sequence 6 - Divine Martial Saint: 30%]

[Sequence 6 - Dark Forest Lord: 32%]

[Sequence 6 - Executioner: 41%]

-

[Sequence 6 - Dragonblood Priest: 24%]

[Sequence 6 - Arcane Professor: 39%]

[Sequence 7 - Master of Gamblers: 29%]

[Knight Apprentice Breathing Technique (Proficient): 56%]

[Wizard Apprentice Meditation (Proficient): 64%]

These past few days he has focused on cultivation, using up another bottle of golden blood. With the feedback from the branch sequences, the progress of each sequence and cultivation method has been steadily improving.

In particular, the Professor of Arcane Arts receives a certain boost whenever a new person awakens in a branch sequence, which is quite like overtaking on a curve.

However, the biggest takeaway is not here.

Hearing Yin Shuo's shouts outside, Lu Yan had no choice but to get up, open the door, and bring Yin Shuo and Ning Ran to the cultivation building.

Before even sitting down, Yin Shuo proudly reported his achievements.

"The old man's reward has come down, giving each of the four of us 100 merit points."

Lu Yan blinked, clearly unsure of the specific value.

"I've forgotten that you know nothing about me."

Yin Shuo sighed helplessly, glanced at the empty Golden Blood bottle beside him, and said, "Let me put it this way, ten merit points can be exchanged for one bottle of Golden Blood, do you understand now?"

"Understood."

Lu Yan nodded slightly. The value of the Golden Blood was obvious to all, and it seemed that the Tribunal also recognized the value of those two ancient cultivation methods.

"The old man is still looking for people to further confirm the information about the Knowledge Corridor. Once it's confirmed, we might get a second batch of rewards."

Yin Shuo rubbed his hands excitedly. So many merits were enough for him to exchange for a batch of good stuff.

"That's good news."

Lu Yan's lips curled slightly. Putting everything else aside, these merits alone are quite good for exchanging for Golden Blood.

Combined with ancient breathing techniques, it can definitely boost one's strength in a short time.

Thinking of this, Lu Yan couldn't help but look at Yin Shuo and Ning Ran beside him.

Ning Ran's breathing rhythm has clearly changed, but she is still far from fully adapting.

However, Yin Shuo could not detect any trace of cultivation.

"Yin Shuo, didn't you practice that wizard apprentice meditation technique?"

"Hey, don't even mention it, I've been practicing for so many days and still haven't succeeded."

Upon hearing this, Yin Shuo waved his hand dismissively and said, "Every time I try to establish a mental node, I fail at the last step, so I just give up."

"Anyway, I'm doing fine with the current cultivation methods; there's not much difference."

Lu Yan suddenly realized that these two ancient breathing techniques were indeed quite difficult, and not everyone could master them as quickly as he had.

However, this means that Yin Shuo's future growth rate may not be able to keep up with Ning Ran's.

Although he didn't perceive it closely, he could sense that Ning Ran's aura had become much stronger.

Whether it's due to the Knight's Breathing Technique or the completion of the path, Ning Ran will likely enter a period of rapid growth.

But Yin Shuo—he was also very curious. Yin Shuo had never been serious, and he had never even seen him cultivate properly. How did he manage to advance to Sequence 6?

"Let's design the branch paths for this guy first."

These past few days he's been engrossed in cultivation, but he hasn't come up with any particularly good ideas, so he's been putting it off.

But now, he has some new ideas.

If it can be successfully designed, it might be very suitable for Yin Shuo.

[The professor of arcane arts understands the host's thoughts and is designing a new path —]

The master swindler was very interested in the concept proposed by the host and actively participated.

The progress bar popped up smoothly on the meeting board, and Lu Yan then looked away.

"By the way, Lu Yan, have you heard about the few strange deaths that have happened at the academy recently?"

Yin Shuo was completely unaware of Lu Yan's actions and came over to share his experiences and observations from the past few days.

"In the past few days, several people have suddenly run out in the early hours of the morning as if sleepwalking, then burst into uncontrollable laughter, and eventually laughed themselves to death."

Yin Shuo deliberately lowered his voice, his tone carrying a hint of eeriness: "The most outrageous thing is that these people have no wounds on their bodies, nor can we find any trace of mental skills. It's really too strange."

"There are even rumors circulating in the academy now that a strange god controlling nightmares might have appeared again!"

Yin Shuo spoke with great seriousness, his brows furrowed with solemnity, yet he remained oblivious to the strange change in Lu Yan's gaze.

[Second condition for becoming a Lord of the Black Forest: Use the unseen forces to kill ten Sequence 6 transcendents according to the rules (1/10) - Incomplete]

That's right, the bizarre death case that Yin Shuo mentioned was committed by him.

To be precise, it's a yin-yang deception!

Just as he expected, the Yin-Yang Ghost Murder Rules could also take effect in dreams, and with remarkable results!

After all, people subconsciously control their emotions when they are awake, but they do not do so in dreams.

Some people even unleash their suppressed emotions from the daytime in their dreams.

These lurking followers of the evil god had naturally suppressed their emotions for a long time.

Yin Yang Gui only slightly activated the rules, and the joy of these Gui Shen believers completely spiraled out of control.

Most importantly, these people are completely unaware of the problem while they are asleep, and they just sleepwalk out!

Of course, this wasn't his biggest takeaway from the past few days.

After he killed these followers of the evil god through Yin-Yang Deception, he actually triggered the second promotion condition for the Lord of the Black Forest.

Unfortunately, only one of those believers was at Sequence 6, so the progress wasn't significant.

However, at least we have a direction now, and we've also learned a new method.

He is now eager to use this method to find more followers of the evil god.

I love killing people in my dreams!

That's exactly how he is now.

The three chatted for a while before quickly getting back to business.

"We've been back for a while now, Lu Yan, are you still planning to climb the tower?"

Yin Shuo asked out of curiosity, a hint of anticipation in his heart.

Ning Ran, on the other hand, looked conflicted.

Yin Shuo now knows the information about his Sequence 5, and it is time to seize the opportunity to make an attack.

But Ning Ran is completely different; he needs to calm down and stabilize his own sequence again.

If you climb the tower with Lu Yan, it will inevitably affect your foundation.

But if we don't go, judging from the last time we climbed the tower, the losses will probably be considerable.

"Climbing the tower—"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yan also fell into deep thought; the benefits of the tower were indeed quite considerable.

However, he hasn't fully digested what he gained from climbing the tower last time, so if he encounters the Knowledge Corridor or something similar again, he'll be at a disadvantage.

Just as he was struggling with this decision, a message suddenly popped up in front of him: the executioner who had gone out on "patrol" had returned.

Then, a series of information appeared in his mind, which was the information about the criminals collected by the executioner.

Okay, no need to worry about it anymore.

You can climb a tower anytime, but you can't necessarily climb these criminals.

The number of believers in the supernatural god in the city is increasing, and no one knows when an accident will happen.

If the criminals are gone when he returns from the tower, then we'll have suffered a huge loss.

"I'll pass for now and digest what I learned last time."

Yin Shuo was initially disappointed upon hearing this, but became excited again after hearing the next sentence.

"I'll design a branch path for you in a few days. We'll go after you awaken; maybe we can get a better reward that way."

"Okay, whatever you say!"

Yin Shuo nodded vigorously, then, as if remembering something, asked, "By the way, Lu Yan, can you teach us your secret techniques?"

Ning Ran's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she nodded in agreement, indicating that she was also interested.

"Secret techniques? Of course."

Lu Yan nodded slightly, not refusing.

Even if Yin Shuo didn't ask, he planned to find an opportunity to teach them.

Besides improving his companions' strength, he also wanted to see if this would trigger the conditions for becoming a professor of arcane arts.
