Star Sea Pearl

"Who exactly were those figures? Why can't I remember..."

Recalling his dreams, Yi Feng muttered blankly to himself.

In his mind, there were always several blurry figures that simply wouldn't fade away.

He vaguely remembered that there seemed to be men and women among them. Someone was holding many swords, someone seemed to be wearing a helmet, there was a giant figure like a mountain, and there also seemed to be a dwarf...

In the dreamscape, those figures stayed closely by his side. When charging forward, they always protected him, showing a perfect mutual understanding, as if they were as close as blood brothers.

That kind of scene filled a person with indescribable heroism and burning passion.

But no matter how hard Yi Feng tried to remember, he just could not see their faces clearly.

After thinking for a long time without any result, he had no choice but to give up.

"Forget it, forget it..."

"It's just a dream, probably just some random thoughts that shouldn't be taken seriously at all. A little rest will fix it. Such a strange dream definitely won't appear again."

After comforting himself, Yi Feng gradually calmed down.

However, he never expected that for the next few days, the dream would not only continue to appear but also become increasingly strange, repeating the exact same scenes every single day.

Until noon on the third day.

Before Yi Feng even got out of bed, the dream surfaced in his mind once more.

In his line of sight.

He found himself in an unfamiliar place, entirely unable to tell where he was. The endless sea of stars in the sky had also grown exceedingly dim, as if this place was deep within the universe, incredibly far away.

Staring blankly at his strange surroundings, the Yi Feng in the dream kept walking forward, not knowing where he was going or how long he had walked...

Until his eyes opened once again.

Sitting up in reality, Yi Feng wore the same blank expression.

Having dreamed of this exact scenario for several consecutive days, no matter how carefree he usually was, he found it a bit bizarre today. After eating lunch, he sat in the courtyard, pondering over it endlessly.

In the blink of an eye, night fell.

Staring blankly at the starry river in the sky, Yi Feng felt a growing intuition.

The sky seemed to be calling out to him.

Even though he did not know the exact location of the place in his dreams, the faint starlight made his heart stir the more he looked at it. This was especially true for a few constantly twinkling stars, which seemed to be pointing the way for him.

After gazing at the starry night sky for a long time, a curious light emerged in Yi Feng's eyes.

"This dream appearing over and over again is really quite strange. Even if it is just a dream, it still makes one care about it."

"Why don't I try looking for it in the starry sky?"

Thinking of this, Yi Feng rested his chin in his hand and pondered carefully.

"I've been so incredibly bored lately, I don't even know what I'm supposed to be doing. That crappy system has disappeared without a trace, without even a single hint. I don't know if I should continue doing those two quests either. Dreaming about this weird stuff all day is going to drive me crazy."

"How could an outstanding youth like me always suffer from lethargy and excessive dreaming?"

"Could this dream be a hint from the system?"

"Damn it, who cares if it's a hint or not! Since I have nothing better to do, I might as well go for a stroll. I'll just treat it as fulfilling my dream!"

After cursing a few times, Yi Feng finally felt a lot more relaxed and could not be bothered to think too much about it.

He immediately summoned Man Man, mounted it, and pointed his right hand toward the boundless sea of stars!

"Let's go! To the deepest part of the starry sky, the deeper the better!"

Man Man seemed to be infected by his excited tone, vigorously shaking its antennas with great enthusiasm. Then, it transformed into a streak of light and instantly vanished into the night sky.

Whoosh!

The stream of light flashed past the ancient corridor in the blink of an eye, then crossed the entire galaxy. Numerous planets flashed past his line of sight. Man Man tore through the calm sea of stars like a meteor, continuously advancing toward the dim depths of the universe.

After a full several breaths of time.

Yi Feng's hair was completely blown back, and he could barely keep his eyes open. He only felt his surroundings growing darker and darker, with only a pearl-like star shining faintly in the distance before his eyes.

Looking at that faint light from afar, Yi Feng also felt surprised.

Man Man's speed was unmatched, and even he had been flying for a long time. One could only imagine how far away they were now.

He didn't expect there to be a planet in such a distant place?

Amidst his surprise, Yi Feng quickly gave an order!

"Let's go check out that planet up ahead!"

As soon as his voice fell, an even more violent swoosh rang out!

In just a few breaths, Man Man had already come to a halt.

Yi Feng subsequently entered the surface of that planet and found himself on a bustling, prosperous street.

With a single glance, shops lined both sides in rows. The pedestrians coming and going on the street were mostly ordinary commoners. The few among them who possessed cultivation had such a minuscule amount of strength that they could be completely ignored. The entire street was very ordinary.

At this moment, men, women, the elderly, and children were all staring at him. The long street was unusually quiet.

The atmosphere suddenly became a bit awkward.

Yi Feng inadvertently glanced at a bronze mirror sold at a nearby stall, only then realizing that his hairstyle was explosively cool. It looked like a small broom was growing out of the back of his head, looking incredibly flashy.

Coupled with the fact that he was riding a giant snail while standing among a group of ordinary commoners, he was arguably the most eye-catching guy on the street.

An epic scene of public social death was exactly this.

Feeling the various shocked and bewildered gazes, Yi Feng hurriedly put Man Man away, casually fixed his hairstyle, and quickly turned a few corners before finally shaking off the awkwardness from just now.

But not long after walking, Yi Feng looked at the surrounding pedestrians and streets, and doubts began to rise in his heart.

"This place doesn't seem to be anything special, and it doesn't look like the place I saw in my dream."

"Did I really go the wrong way?"

"Or was I just purely dreaming and overthinking things?"

Walking bewilderedly down the ordinary long street, staring at the normal shops on both sides, Yi Feng began to doubt his life even more. He was even preparing to ride Man Man away and continue his dream-chasing journey.

Right at this moment.

A tall building at the corner of the street made him freeze in astonishment!

"Linglong Pavilion..."

Murmuring that striking signboard, Yi Feng instantly felt exceptionally familiar with it.

After thinking about it for a few breaths, he finally remembered.

A long time ago, he had also been to a place called Linglong Pavilion. That place not only had buses but also life-simulation games...

Back then, Yi Feng had been quite shocked.

He had once suspected that the boss behind the scenes was highly likely a transmigrator. He had even thought he was going to meet a fellow earthling in this cultivation world and was particularly interested in studying it properly.

Unfortunately, he was later bogged down by various matters and didn't have the time.

He never expected to encounter another Linglong Pavilion on this distant planet today.

Wasn't this too much of a coincidence?

The more he thought about it, the more unbelievable it felt. Yi Feng could no longer look away.

This Linglong Pavilion had to be properly investigated!

Having made up his mind, he took large strides toward the tall building.

Just as he reached the door, a person who looked like a shop assistant came up to greet him with a smile.

"Please come in, dear customer!"

"May I know what I can help you with?"

Happy New Year's Eve, everyone.

May you rise higher step by step in the New Year.

Wishing you happiness.
