Chapter 634: The Golden Leader! Journey to the Land of Sakura!
【Dream Core (Basic): A spiritual core created by combining mental power with a special cultivation method, allowing the user to briefly create a purely spiritual world entirely under their control!】
The reason this skill is not considered a super-tier skill is due to its limitations.
Indeed, the effect of this skill is actually quite ordinary.
In fact, it might even be considered useless for many pet beasts, perhaps even less useful than some performance-based skills.
The reason is that the purely spiritual world created by this skill is completely hidden from outsiders; they can't even witness it.
Your wildest dreams, filled with grandeur and a harem of wives, would go unnoticed by others.
They would never experience that exhilarating feeling.
Thus, this skill is destined to be a self-indulgent one.
However, for Su Ping, this was more than enough.
He had poured his heart and soul into this skill for an entire month, and just when he was on the verge of becoming a Master of the Golden Heart, he finally managed to figure it out.
Su Ping knew that this Dream Core was the key to the dream connection he had experienced with Meng Huang Liang, and it would be an essential part of the super-tier skill combination he was aiming to create.
For now, this was as far as he could go.
The reason was simple: he was exhausted, and he hadn't yet determined the next direction for his research.
The initial and most challenging aspect of his 'Entering Dreams' research had been solved: entering someone else's dream.
As Su Ping had anticipated, the solution was to have his pet beast create a dream, one that was entirely under its control. By connecting to this dream through a spiritual dream connection, he could transfer the spiritual awareness of others' dreams into his own dream while they slept.
This was a groundbreaking cultivation method.
Compared to Meng Huang Liang's cultivation, it was exponentially more challenging.
The next phase of 'Entering Dreams' was the second stage, which Su Ping hadn't fully considered before.
The super-tier skill he envisioned was not just for espionage, as Meng Huang Liang had used it.
Su Ping would never settle for anything less than the pinnacle in any system he ventured into.
Therefore, this 'Entering Dreams' skill, his own version, must also reach the pinnacle.
The super-tier skill he envisioned for the spiritual realm was akin to a Hall-level super-tier skill.
In the dream, he could kill through the sheer force of his mental power and the amplification of the dream. This skill's manifestation would be even more terrifying than the recording ability of a Hall-level super-tier skill.
He could force others into his dream, where his combat power would be virtually unstoppable, surpassing even the boundaries of realms.
Moreover, the damage inflicted in the dream would affect the real world, as the spiritual realm influenced reality. This was the true pinnacle of dream skills that Su Ping sought.
The true pinnacle of spiritual skills.
Of course, he had dreams and had already completed most of the preliminary steps. He could even attempt the forced dream induction through hypnosis in the future.
However, the next steps in his research lacked a clear direction.
Su Ping had an idea, though.
He thought of using fear to project damage into the real world.
But this method had two drawbacks: it would make the damage less direct, and it could create loopholes in the dream's containment.
While this approach had some research value, it was essentially just a substitute.
If he couldn't think of a better method, he could use this as a temporary solution.
Nevertheless, Su Ping had gained some insights.
The resources and information about the Mirror World and the Empty Crystal that Mirror Ancestor had sent him were enlightening.
Although spiritual and spatial abilities seemed unrelated, the Mirror World's creation theory and cultivation methods sparked some ideas in Su Ping's mind.
The stability of space was the foundation for cultivating spatial skills.
What if the cultivation and setting of the dream world followed the same principles as spatial cultivation?
The most apparent aspect was the requirement of the dream world constructed by Fatty.
Unless the Fatty's avatar in the dream was defeated, the dreamer could never wake up.
The spiritual entities trapped within could only enter but not escape.
Thus, through eternal slumber and the home-field advantage of self-created dreams, one could theoretically cultivate an infinite combat power, fulfilling Su Ping's imagination regarding entering dreams.
Even for the Mirror Ancestor, maintaining such a feat is challenging, let alone confining higher-level opponents as per Su Ping's request.
This is akin to a madman's dream.
Consequently, Su Ping refrained from delving deeper into this aspect of research without a solid grasp and clear direction.
Otherwise, one might fall into a cognitive trap, unknowingly entering a dead-end.
Hence, maintaining a strategic perspective before further cultivation is imperative for Su Ping.
With this in mind, Su Ping concluded his thoughts on the next direction for cultivation, including the dream cultivation, and was ready to take a break.
After a full month of secluded cultivation, he had accumulated numerous tasks to attend to.
For instance, the further cultivation of the Little Flame into the Nanming Lihuo, and the situation with the Liao Yuan Fire Phoenix in the Ten Thousand Islands.
In the past few days, the Mad Saint and Dong Muchun had finally confirmed the details of their secret trip to Cherry Land with the Golden Union.
Additionally, the returning Mermaid Princess, who had been away for two months, instructed:
"Su Ping, I've acquired the evolution resources for the Yinhuai Ghost Tree. Simultaneously, I've obtained a Holy Spirit-level soul crystal. The Taiyin Water from the Ten Thousand Islands, along with a large number of Imperial-level and Monarch-level soul crystals, are also in my possession.
When can you sever my connection with my original body?"
Su Ping was surprised at the Mermaid Princess's swift actions. Even without considering the Taiyin Water, the soul crystals and evolution resources for the Yinhuai Ghost Tree were not ordinary items. Acquiring them in such a short time proved that the Mermaid Princess had not wasted a minute during the past two months.
However, Su Ping was a man of his word. After some thought, he replied:
"Alright, I'll first complete the evolution of the Yinhuai Ghost Tree. It will take some time, and the tree will need to stabilize its realm for a while.
Meanwhile, you should also prepare. If the Taiyin Water is insufficient, your realm may still be depleted, and the worst-case scenario could be a drop to the Legendary level! You need to be ready for that."
The Mermaid Princess nodded in understanding, as Su Ping had already informed her about this.
But it was evident that for the sake of a life truly her own, the Mermaid Princess had long prepared for everything.
Even if it meant severing the connection with her original body and losing that long-lasting life, she was still willing to take the risk.
However, these matters were not of concern to Su Ping.
The Mermaid Princess's return was unexpected, and the primary reason for temporarily concluding the dream research was that the Mad Saint and Dong Muchun wanted to discuss their plans to visit Cherry Land with him.
After speaking with the Mermaid Princess, Su Ping left the evolution resources for the Yinhuai Ghost Tree and returned to the Mechanical Heart through the teleportation array.
Here, as the Mad Saint's residence and the most secretive and secure location, it was the ideal place to discuss matters.
"Vice President Su!"
The Mad Saint greeted Su Ping. Even though his realm was higher, the title of Vice President of the Beast Tamer Association was enough to outrank him.
Su Ping was speechless.
Fortunately, Dong Muchun spoke up:
"Let's not be so formal, Mad Saint. We're all on the same side."
The Mad Saint smiled, but his eyes didn't show complete agreement.
Previously, Su Ping was indeed considered one of them.
As the Vice President of the Mechanical Engineers Association, he had been one of the high-end combatants in the extermination of those forces.
Although he had reached this level and no longer needed to consider factions, there was still some estrangement.
However, Su Ping didn't mind. He had already discussed with Saint Dragon that the aristocratic families were a part of Dragon Country, and the new generation's high-end combatants were no different.
Dragon Country was a unified whole, and there was no need for division over these matters.
Nevertheless, for this to happen, Su Ping's strength needed to reach at least the Holy Spirit Level to have a say in such matters.
If not, in the eyes of some, he would still be seen as an extremely talented Breeder with great potential.
And today's discussion marked the beginning.
"Senior Wu Kuang, the Golden Union has already made their move. They've decided to set off for Cherry Land in a week's time, under the guise of expanding their supply chain to Cherry Land and its many eastern islands."
"What's more important is that, according to rumors, the Golden Union is mobilizing all their forces for this trip, including that ever-elusive and mysterious figure, the president of the Golden Union, who is as hard to find as the dragon's head!"
As these words were spoken, Senior Wu Kuang's eyes narrowed slightly.
In fact, Dong Muchun's original undercover mission had already been accomplished long ago.
After all, the Golden Union had been quite transparent in their scheme. They had used a cunning plan to purchase the information about the Golden Heart through an auction, and then passed it on to Su Ping.
Their intention was to entice Su Ping and the powers within the Dragon Nation to establish their own Golden Heart.
By using financial transactions and the power of the financial core, they aimed to drain the financial lifeblood of the entire Dragon Nation, thereby advancing their own realm and strength.
However, Su Ping had directly suppressed this plan.
Afterwards, even the Saint Dragon Legend, upon seeing the Golden Heart, did not approve of its presence in the Dragon Nation.
Therefore, they had already understood the true intentions of the Golden Union, and had some idea about the purpose of the Golden Heart.
The Golden Union aimed to control the global financial market by dominating the economy, while also nurturing a select group of people.
As for whether there were any other ultimate goals, that was unknown. Even within the Golden Heart, not everyone was privy to all the details, let alone the elusive Golden Union.
So, in essence, Dong Muchun's original mission had been achieved.
He had uncovered the principles and objectives of the Golden Heart.
However, just as Su Ping thought it was time to take action, Senior Wu Kuang spoke to the Saint Dragon again, and as a result, an additional objective was added to Dong Muchun's undercover mission.
That was to uncover the true identity of the Golden Union's president.
Indeed, after so many interactions, especially at the highest levels, the only person they had met from the Shanhe Group was the leader of the imperial-level top-tier business tycoon and Tamer, the Shen Family.
But he was merely a vice president.
The true identity of the Golden Union's president remained a mystery.
The only known information was that this person was from the Dragon Nation and was a Holy Spirit Level Tamer.
Even with just this information, it was already terrifying. There might be a traitor among the Holy Spirit Levels in the Dragon Nation! If they were hidden, it would be one thing, but if they were openly known and held high-level positions, the impact on the Dragon Nation would be unimaginable.
Therefore, before taking direct action against the Golden Union, Dong Muchun's undercover mission had changed.
He had to find the true identity of the hidden traitor within their midst.
The true identity of the Golden Union's president!
Upon hearing Dong Muchun's words, Senior Wu Kuang's eyes lit up, and without a moment's hesitation, he said, "We must go! No matter what, we have to find this hidden traitor! If they continue to remain hidden, the threat and impact on the Dragon Nation will be unimaginable!"
After speaking, he turned to Su Ping, "Su Ping, what do you think?"
Su Ping nodded, "Of course, we should go. But facing a Holy Spirit Level undercover, and with the dangerous situation in Cherry Land, there will be no shortage of Holy Spirit Level beings. Others may die, but Dong Muchun's life must be protected at all costs!"
This point caused Senior Wu Kuang to pause slightly. The reason was simple; as a Holy Spirit Level, it was easy for him to remain hidden within the Eternal Spirit Core in the Dragon Nation.
But how could he possibly enter Cherry Land without being discovered? Ensuring Dong Muchun's safety would be extremely troublesome! Moreover, he also had matters to attend to, and the Mechanist Association wasn't without its own issues.
Dong Muchun, however, maintained a righteous demeanor, "It's alright. If we can find that person, I'll consider my life well spent."
Su Ping gave the woman a sidelong glance. She had never been one to throw her life away so recklessly.
Besides, this matter wasn't so dire as to warrant such talk of life and death. So, after some quiet contemplation, he said, "Alright, in seven days, I'll accompany you on this trip to Cherry Land."
