Everyone has the opportunity to rise above others.

Everyone is searching for the secret to mastering the power that is everywhere.

The trust of his master, the care of his fellow disciples, the aspirations of his junior disciples, and a sense of responsibility weighed heavily on Li Furan's shoulders.

Why can't he be that handsome figure rising with the wind?

He should be!

The routine of daily practice was disrupted by the series of paintings.

No one knows where the scroll came from or who created it; it seems to have sprung up all over the Three Kingdoms overnight, like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

Falling asleep with a scroll in hand, a bizarre and wonderful world unfolds before my eyes.

Unlike the world they knew, this was a place where spiritual power was called "magic," and where there were many races and strange-looking creatures resembling spirits.

The only thing they have in common is martial arts skills, which are gradually fading from the scene.

The Demon Warriors are practically the epitome of the former warriors and current cultivators of the Three Realms.

During the day, everything remained the same; at midnight, they would fall asleep and roam freely in a dreamlike world. This became the daily routine for Li Furan, and indeed for countless other prestigious sects.

It is thus named "Dream Scroll".

Some people use it to temper their mind.

Some people use it to practice their skills.

Some people indulge in unrestrained behavior, treating it all as a grand dream, reveling in pleasure to the fullest.

Vicissitudes of life.

The Star Gazing Sect is a prestigious sect. They were astonished by the painting that appeared out of nowhere in their territory and tried to find out who was behind it.

It was Master who stepped in and communicated with the sect leader, allowing the matter to be dropped.

Why not investigate?

The master chuckled twice at Li Furan, but did not answer.

Later, Li Furan finally understood.

That person can create the [Dream Painting Scroll], which allows the peerless masters of the Three Realms to travel to the heavens. How could they possibly be able to see through it?

What to check?

What if they actually find something!

Since he was already there, Li Furan settled down and began studying in the dreamlike world of the painting.

He tried to understand the techniques of "magic" and find the common origin of "spiritual power" within them, and to integrate them.

This routine went on for almost half a year.

Li Furan saw his master, sect leader, and elders less and less.

They all seem to be very busy.

From a certain moment on, the usually cheerful master's face was full of unease, and he would often sit in the bamboo forest where he had been teaching and imparting knowledge since childhood, lost in thought.

Li Furan approached with his master's favorite wine and dishes, but even the rich aroma of the wine could not draw his soul back from the heavens to the mortal realm.

His beloved junior sister patted him a few times, and he seemed to have been frightened, trembling as he came back to his senses.

"Fu Ran, how old are you today?"

"Reporting to Master, 23."

"You're not young anymore."

The master gazed up at the starry sky, lost in thought.

Do you still remember what your master taught you most from childhood to adulthood?

"Go with the flow, and you will be strong if you are free from desires."

Li Furan answered immediately.

His benefactor, who had saved him, had passed away early. His master treated him with the same kindness as his parents, imparting all his knowledge to him. He remembered every word and action, and would never forget it.

"Fu Ran, you must remember these eight words firmly, no matter what happens."

"Ten million, ten million."

"No matter how high the sky is, one who is without desires is invincible."

That night, Master drank a lot of alcohol.

Li Furan saw weariness, bewilderment, and a desperate attempt to conceal fear on his face.

My master is also an exceptional genius, one of the top experts in the Three Realms.

He was famous at the age of 40, and he had never been broken by any storms. What made him lose his composure?

That was the night when, besides teaching Li Furan, the eight words "follow nature, and you will be strong if you have no desires" rang out the most in the bamboo forest.

It seemed not to be for Li Furan to remember, but for himself.

Several days later, the sect's top leaders gathered together.

As a rising star and the person most suitable for the position of sect leader in the eyes of countless elders, Li Furan was summoned to the scene.

He watched as the high-ranking members of the Star Gazing Sect took out one treasure after another from the long-unopened storeroom, and his whole body trembled.

Thirty years have passed since the spiritual energy revived, and rare treasures of heaven and earth have frequently appeared. The Star Gazing Sect has been groping its way forward, and every item it has acquired through hard work is a precious treasure.

What are we all supposed to do?

Whom does the Star Gazing Sect intend to declare war on?

"Fu Ran, after we leave, you will be in charge of the Star Gazing Sect."

"If we don't make it back within two days..."

"Disband the Star Gazing Sect, immediately, right now."

"Take your fellow disciples and leave."

Li Furan felt like the sky was about to fall.

Looking across the Three Realms, who can drive the Star Gazing Sect to the brink of annihilation?

"Fu Ran, stop asking."

His master gently stroked his head, just as he had when he was a child.

“You’ve grown up, you should take on some responsibilities… We had no choice, we really had no choice, so neither did you.”

There were few farewells; everything was so rushed.

The top leadership mobilized, and the leadership was temporarily replaced.

Li Furan, holding his sword, sat down in front of the mountain gate, like an enraged lion, staring coldly at everyone who appeared on the long ladder of the mountain gate.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

No one came back.

The messengers sent by the Star Gazing Sect to other places have also returned.

"Senior Brother Furan, it seems the other sects are also..."

For the first time, Li Furan felt fear towards this world.

That was a terror that penetrated deep into the soul, something that even the revival of spiritual energy and the upheaval of the world had never brought.

Chapter 288 Crisis

Li Furan carried out his master's orders and disbanded the Star Gazing Sect.

Nearly a thousand disciples went their separate ways, their faces filled with sorrow and despair.

Even now, they still don't know what happened to the sect.

Li Furan did not leave. After sending a message to his parents, he sat alone at the empty mountain gate, waiting quietly.

He was not alone; his fellow disciples who had followed him into the painting all stayed behind.

They can't be chased away.

“Maybe he’ll die.”

After he finished speaking, he saw fear on the faces of his junior brothers and sisters.

But no one left.

They're all a bunch of idiots.

The fourth junior brother said nonchalantly, "It's alright, I'm a necromancer, I'll resurrect you all one by one!"

Not a time, not a place, not even a world, Li Furan sighed in agreement.

"I played it while playing a necromancer."

After several days of waiting, news came from the Dream Scroll.

"Have you heard? Many prestigious sects have mobilized their entire forces to fight a group of evil creatures near Luzhi Mountain."

"Is it true? Luzhi Mountain is a remote and uninhabited place. After the spiritual energy has been restored, monsters and evil spirits are rampant. How did this news get out?"

"It's not a rumor, it's that someone was barely alive when they were rescued, but unfortunately, their injuries were too severe and they still passed away."

"Who is who?"

"I heard he is an elder of the Star Gazing Sect."

After being notified by my junior brothers to enter the painting, I found myself surrounded by players discussing the scene in Fragrant Breeze City.

With a heart full of turmoil, Li Furan continued to listen in silence.

"No one who participated in the campaign survived. Are you kidding me?"

"That expert from the Star Gazing Sect only managed to crawl out of the pile of corpses by sheer luck; there really wasn't a single survivor."

Those who were discussing the matter were shocked.

"What kind of evil thing could wipe out all the well-known and powerful figures in the Three Realms?"

"I've heard it said that it's an evil entity born from a cataclysmic change in the heavens and earth... The people of the Star Gazing Sect call it a demon?"

"So, those experts were all there to stop the spread of the mutation?"

"Alas... good people don't live long."

"Heh, they were just afraid that the situation would get too serious and they wouldn't be able to stay out of it, so they had no choice but to do it. I heard that several crazy and evil forces have been completely wiped out. Did they also have the world in their hearts?"

"That's true. The world of Sanqiong is about to change, and there will be a major reshuffling of power. I'm afraid everyone will have a chance."

Li Furan gritted his teeth, chewing on the word "demon," his fists cracking.

"These bastards not only don't appreciate the sacrifices their masters made, but they're also secretly gloating!"

"Why are you stopping me? It's just a game in a dream. What does it matter if I'm captured by the Judgment Knights!"

Li Furan felt something was strange, but didn't know how to describe it.

Master has never been afraid in his life. If the evil forces really cause a cataclysmic event that sweeps across the world, no one can remain uninvolved. Why not spread the word widely and make more preparations?

Their resolute departure, just as they had said before leaving, suggested they had no other choice.

He had so much confusion and bewilderment in his heart, and no one could answer his questions.

Li Furan had no choice but to accept this as the only truth.

"&#@*!()——@*¥()!"

Memories are jumbled, distorted, and fragmented.

Chaotic musical notes danced wildly.

The perspective has changed, as if trapped in a shell that doesn't belong to oneself, peering at the outside world through a narrow line of sight.

"This this……"

The sect leader of the Star Gazing Sect stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence.
