Chapter 311: Chen Clan Dreamscape Major Upgrade! Chen Clan Dreamscape Guide!
Special Soul Summoning Banner: magic treasure.
Special effects:
When a pious person （ who can contribute wish power ） falls asleep within the sect residence, they will be summoned by the Special Soul Summoning Banner, and the scene in their dream will be drawn together into the Dream Entering Realm.
Special dream: because the Special Soul Summoning Banner has assembled a new plugin, it can construct a special dream. Since the plugin comes from the righteous path, the special illusion can only be set in a positive direction, and only those who are pious and have contributed more than 2 points of wish power can enter.
Special dream effect: the effect can be seen once the special dream is constructed.
Restriction: the special dream has not yet been constructed. Please construct a special dream on the Special Soul Summoning Banner and fill the special dream.
Chen Han saw that on the Special Soul Summoning Banner in front of him, the runes that had originally been interwoven and surging suddenly lit up, and what appeared on it looked like a computer screen.
This left Chen Han a bit dazed. So this Special Soul Summoning Banner can switch back and forth like this, right?
However, under that computer-screen-like display, he could not operate the screen itself. Only an operation interface similar to a drawing board that appeared on it could be operated.
There was only one line of text on it:
“Please construct a special illusion!”
Damn, is this not just asking him to draw a picture on a computer drawing-board tool?
Then this Special Soul Summoning Banner would construct a special illusion according to the picture he drew.
The key point was that this drawing board was even touch-screen.
Quite in step with the times, right?
Chen Han did have some foundation in painting. After all, he had studied design. But if he had to paint a scene out of thin air, and it also had to meet the requirements for constructing a special dream, that would be a bit difficult.
It was not that he could not do it, but he had never done this kind of thing and had no experience, which would cost him effort, brainpower, and energy.
But in modern society, with technology developed to this point, a Soul Summoning Banner could look like a computer, and its screen could light up with a display-like area for you to construct an illusion.
So if he took out his mobile phone, opened Doubao, and used an ai drawing, there would be nothing wrong with that, right?
Let Doubao help him draw first, then he could copy it. That would be much simpler.
So he did just that. He directly took out his mobile phone, opened Doubao, and described:
A place like a fairyland, with very good scenery; everything else is freely improvised…
Then he generated a picture.
He had to admit, the current ai drawing function was quite good.
Several drawings popped up at once.
He checked a few of them and found one that looked pretty good.
The picture showed a valley shrouded in cloud and mist, with a big tree, a stone table under the tree, clusters of flowers all around, and a river winding beside it…
Anyway, he was not using this painting to participate in an art exhibition, but only to construct a special dream, so it did not matter.
He saved this picture directly, then opened it, walked to the screen of the Special Soul Summoning Banner, and began drawing on that drawing board.
But before he had drawn even one tenth of the area, a game prompt appeared again:
【The Special Soul Summoning Banner has detected the special dream you intend to construct. Load it directly?】
“???” Chen Han was speechless for a moment.
If it had this function, it could have said so earlier. Did it have to wait for him to draw part of it before it could determine that?
Anyway, next, the drawing board began drawing automatically, engraving the picture generated by Doubao onto it.
Honestly, at this moment, Chen Han truly felt a sense of technological cultivation.
【Congratulations. The Special Soul Summoning Banner’s special dream template has been completed. The special illusion is under construction…】
With this game prompt, the lit screen of the Special Soul Summoning Banner returned to normal again, becoming the state of runes entwining and flowing.
Chen Han knew that this construction could not possibly be completed immediately.
So he went out and took a walk around the Chen Clan.
Because the sea of rapeseed flowers had already ended, the number of tourists to the Chen Clan had returned to normal. Now they could receive about 2,500 people a day.
In this season, after the peak of heat, the weather was beginning to cool down. After this, many scenic spots would enter a slack period.
However, this should not affect the Chen Clan. After all, under the Conceal Wind Gather Qi Feng Shui formation, the attribute of “warm in winter and cool in summer +2” would instead make the Chen Clan, like Southeast Asia, still a tourist destination with a pleasant climate.
The Qionghua trees that had previously bloomed thanks to the Hundred Flowers Dew Talisman runes had also begun to wither; after some days there would no longer be visitors coming to view them.
Fortunately, the back mountain development had already begun, and the mountain path had also been widened. Various buildings had been constructed at the Spirit Spring on the mountain.
By then, even without the Qionghua Tree Forest, the back mountain could accommodate many guests, definitely no fewer than the Qionghua Tree Forest. A daily capacity exceeding 3,000 visitors would be no problem.
As the back mountain development progressed further, this number would continue to grow.
The Special Soul Summoning Banner did not take too long to construct the special illusion. By the time he finished dinner, he received another game prompt:
【Congratulations. The special dream in the Dream Entering Realm has been successfully constructed. Please fill the content of the special dream as soon as possible.
Note: once the filled dream content meets the conditions, the special dream effect will be triggered!】
When Chen Han heard this game prompt, he immediately went to his room, then sat cross-legged, took out an intermediate spirit stone, and sat to circulate the 《Nine Heavens Profound Scripture advanced Qi Cultivation Method》.
As he successfully entered samadhi to cultivate, the prompt for the Dream Entering Realm appeared in his mind again.
This time, in addition to the Dream Entering Realm, there was another option below.
Special dream: enterable （. Dream filling incomplete, cannot be opened to the public, effect not triggered!）
Seeing this, Chen Han directly took out the Thousand Illusions Mask and turned himself into the appearance of an old Daoist Priest.
Although he did not know what the special dream filling entailed, entering with the old Daoist Priest identity would be easier to handle no matter what.
After changing his identity, he moved his mind and entered the newly constructed special dream in the Dream Entering Realm.
The basic Dream Entering Realm initially had nothing in it. Only when pious people dreamed and their dreams were drawn into the Dream Entering Realm would those pious people’s dreams appear inside.
But as soon as he entered this special dream, there was already a scene there. It was exactly that valley from the picture Doubao had helped generate.
Only now, after being constructed by the game system, it was more realistic. He could even hear the chirping of insects in the valley.
He appeared right under that giant tree.
This tree was far taller and thicker than the Three Old Elm Trees of the Chen Clan.
In reality, Chen Han had never seen such a gigantic tree.
The stone table beneath the tree was also very conspicuous. It was no longer like the simple ai-drawn version, but seemed to carry a kind of special charm.
The feeling was as if, at a glance, you would know this stone table had an unusual origin.
This feeling was very strange yet very real.
The surrounding scenery was basically constructed according to the illusion in the picture Doubao had generated: clusters of flowers, a river meandering beside, and swirling clouds and mist, truly like a fairyland.
However, after he entered, no game prompt appeared, so he did not know how to fill this illusion.
Only when he walked to the stone table and sat down did a game prompt appear in his mind:
【Under the giant tree, the old Daoist sits at the stone table. This meets the special dream filling requirement. Fill it?】
Chen Han was stunned.
This works too?
Regardless of anything else, he chose to fill first. Who knew if, once he missed this, it would be harder to trigger the filling condition later?
Moreover, if this was feasible, he suddenly had an idea.
Under the giant tree, with the old Daoist already seated at the stone table, would it not be fitting to brew a pot of immortal tea?
Thinking this, he took a tea set for brewing tea from the game warehouse, then some Premium Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea. He even had a simple small stove for boiling water.
As for water for tea, was there not a flowing river beside him? With the Basic Sword Control Technique, river water was drawn up and landed steadily into the teapot, then heated.
Was that not very impressive?
If at this moment there were a sufficiently pious person entering and sitting opposite at the stone table, would they not be shocked out of their wits?
Once the tea was brewed, he again used the Basic Sword Control Technique to pour the tea. From beginning to end, he did not touch the teacup or the teapot.
Was that not very much like an immortal?
Therefore, this special dream could even be named “Immortal’s Secret Valley”.
As soon as this idea arose, another game prompt appeared:
【Congratulations. Special dream filling complete, and named ‘Immortal’s Secret Valley’. Confirm?】
“…” Chen Han had not expected this to work as well, so he directly chose to confirm.
Since the conditions had been met, he did not want to waste time. So be it.
The game prompt appeared again:
【The special dream ‘Immortal’s Secret Valley’ is being loaded and optimized… Congratulations. The special illusion ‘Immortal’s Secret Valley’ has finished loading and optimization. The dream has gained special attribute blessings: immortal-like demeanor +3, ethereal like an immortal +3, fairyland artistic conception +】
Chen Han was full of surprise upon receiving this prompt.
Three consecutive +3 attributes.
It was his first time seeing +3 attributes.
If he did not know these would only appear in the dream, he would have thought the game system had suddenly become generous.
Moreover, when he looked around, he indeed found that the surroundings were somewhat different.
The images and scenes had not changed, but the cloud-and-mist-shrouded view and the drifting glow seemed to instantly make one feel this was a fairyland, full of artistic conception.
The impact was very strong.
He knew this must be the effect of the fairyland artistic conception +3 attribute, a very direct enhancement.
At this moment, an inquiring voice sounded: “Fellow Daoist, it is fate that you can enter this valley. Why not come and have a cup of tea?”
Chen Han looked at the stone table. There, an old Daoist with immortal-like demeanor was already sitting, smiling and inviting him.
He understood. This was the content he had used to fill the environment, now optimized by the game system into the dream NPC.
But this dream NPC still looked like the old Daoist Priest appearance he had taken with the Thousand Illusions Mask, which made him a little unsure how to react.
His hair was as white as snow, each strand distinct, gently fluttering in the breeze. His eyes were deep and clear like autumn water, as if he could see through the turmoil of the mortal world.
His overall image gave off a feeling of being far removed from worldly smoke and fire, imbued with a mysterious aura, as if at a glance one could tell he was an immortal who had stepped out of a fairyland.
He understood. These were the immortal-like demeanor +3 and ethereal-like-immortal +3 attributes.
Truly, these attributes had such style. If he could manifest this kind of attribute when he transformed into the old Daoist Priest, would people not fall to their knees at first sight, calling him an old immortal?
At this moment, the dream NPC began to act impressive.
When he was filling, he had taken tea leaves and props from the game warehouse.
But the NPC simply brushed his hand lightly, and the tea set, tea leaves, and kettle appeared on the stone table.
With another wave, the river water floated over and fell into the kettle. Yet somehow, this NPC’s act looked grand and fitting, making people admire him and recognize him as a true old immortal.
Even he, the creator of the dream, felt this way. Imagine how the tourists entering would react.
Finally, the NPC old immortal waved his hand and a cup of brewed tea flew into his hand.
He brought the tea to his lips and drank, confirming that it was the taste of Premium Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea, only with an extra special sensation to it.
Because this was a dream, and he was here with his mind and spirit, the experience was different from physically drinking it; it was a very wondrous feeling.
Chen Han savored it for a moment, then with a thought, exited the special dream, opened his eyes in his room, and stopped his cultivation.
He clearly felt a sense of mental relaxation; his whole brain felt clear, and he was in a very comfortable state.
Another game prompt appeared in his mind:
【The special dream ‘Immortal’s Secret Valley’ has been completed. Drinking a sip of immortal tea in the dream will grant the special effects of promoting mental relaxation, promoting cell renewal and organ rest, clearing metabolic waste in the brain, and enhancing the brain’s immunity.】
Chen Han immediately understood that the feeling just now came from these attributes.
The key was that the attributes of this dream were quite impressive.
Promoting mental relaxation spoke for itself. Mental tension, fatigue, pressure, and similar negative states were forms of chronic self-harm.
Put it this way: people whose minds are relaxed can significantly improve their health; people whose minds are always in negative states definitely do not live long.
Moreover, due to the enormous pressure of modern society and the restless social atmosphere, many people exist in a mentally negative state. It can be confirmed that more than a hundred million people have related mental problems.
That is only those who have realized their mental issues and gone to the hospital. How many have never gone?
Or you can think about this: in a year, how many days are you truly happy?
On the other days, are you not troubled by various matters like work and life?
Promoting cell renewal and organ rest is an attribute that allows the body to fully relax during sleep.
Clearing metabolic waste in the brain and enhancing brain immunity is even more impressive.
Many people think that only exhaled carbon dioxide is waste, but in fact, the entire body constantly produces various waste substances.
The brain is the same.
In the process of metabolism, the brain produces many waste substances, such as amyloid protein, tau protein, and others.
Timely clearing of these substances is extremely important for maintaining brain health and clarity. Otherwise, they can easily contribute to depression and other mental illnesses, and even affect the circulation of cerebrospinal fluid, the regulation of meningeal lymphatic vessels, the metabolism of the blood-brain barrier, and so on.
Those later symptoms are more likely to appear in long-term high-intensity mental workers, and ordinary people are less likely to encounter them, but those mental illnesses are very common.
Especially depression, anxiety, and similar symptoms.
Currently, there are more than 95 million people with depression and 70 million with anxiety, and the numbers are still increasing.
In severe cases, these conditions can lead people to thoughts of self-harm.
Likewise, those numbers only record people who became aware of their problems and went to the hospital. The actual numbers are definitely far higher.
Simply put, a very healthy person lies down and falls asleep quickly. If you lie in bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep, many times within a month, there is no need to doubt it, that is you.
So, are these special dream attributes powerful or not?
Even a person with severe depression, on the brink of suicide, going in once and coming out could have their mental state reborn.
Enter this special dream a few more times, and this series of problems would completely disappear. They would not only gain good health and longevity, but, most importantly, they would be happy.
Happiness is the most important thing.
And gaining all this in one’s sleep is indeed the greatest reward for these pious people.
While Chen Han marveled, many people within the Chen Clan had already fallen asleep and begun to dream. Tourists who had contributed wish power at the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation Hall were soon drawn into the Dream Entering Realm.
Wu Yan （in chapter 201） was one such person.
After being lectured by the Chen Family Head and experiencing that horror, he had completely turned to the righteous path and opened a bed and breakfast in Linhe County.
Now there were more and more tourists in Linhe County. The Chen Clan was extremely famous online, but accommodation in the Chen Clan and Shangyuan Village was limited. Tourists who could not book there could only go to the ancient city in the county.
Those hotels and guesthouses could not compete with the Ancient City Hotel.
But a bed and breakfast was different. As long as the service was good, with integrated pick-up and drop-off, plenty of emotional value, and a solid reputation, it could still outcompete the ancient city hotels.
His bed and breakfast had only just opened, but business was pretty good, because he used the Chen Clan’s name. The first video he posted was 《a wayward idler who, after being guided by the Chen Family Head, turned to a righteous business…》
Basically a self-narration, also describing his painful experience when the Chen Family Head cast spells on him for a period. Naturally, he did not specify which spells; that would be too embarrassing.
The key was it might be blocked in review.
Such implicit expression could pass, but if he stated it plainly, adding real place names and people, it would be considered promoting superstition.
The Douyin review could be quite baffling at times.
Even so, it attracted many people. After all, he had indeed been guided to do good by the Chen Family Head, and there were videos online proving it.
As someone who personally experienced the Chen Family Head’s spells, many wanted to ask him about the Chen Clan.
So when he ran the bed and breakfast, he also provided consultation, telling guests mysterious stories about the Chen Clan, which indeed attracted many tourists.
Because his service was good, guests gave favorable reviews. He planned to expand the scale of his bed and breakfast, so he also wanted to investigate the Chen Clan’s various mysterious rumors, then talk about them for guests staying with him.
For instance, this matter of everyone being able to dream together.
Some tourists posted videos saying it happened. Many more said it did not, claiming they had dreamed at the Chen Clan but nothing like that occurred, and that it was all a scam.
In such a situation, with 2 people saying yes and more than 50 saying no, those 2 seemed to be just seeking attention, so people online did not believe.
But Wu Yan knew that many things in the Chen Clan were not accessible to everyone. You needed good fortune.
So if only a few people experienced something, it was not necessarily false.
He personally came to experience it and one night did enter the dream. Indeed, he dreamed together with others.
It was real.
During this period, he also explored the pattern. Since some could enter while others could not, there had to be conditions.
He asked the tourists who had entered the dream. Over three consecutive nights, he found a pattern: these people had all gone to the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation to offer incense at the Chen Clan, and had all received the Heavenly Lord’s Blessing, feeling that warm, comfortable sensation all over their bodies.
Wu Yan almost understood.
You had to be pious to enter this dream.
Among true believers, being blessed when offering incense to the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation at the Chen Clan was no secret. Many believers had already formed a group to discuss matters related to the Chen Clan.
He was in this group.
The believers in the group all said that often going to the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation Hall at the Chen Clan to offer incense and receive the Heavenly Lord’s Blessing had made their bodies much healthier.
But ordinary tourists did not know this. People online did not know either. Even if they posted about it online, no one believed.
Because ordinary tourists offering incense would not receive the Heavenly Lord’s Blessing and could not feel the blessed body, they naturally could not empathize.
Today he had not booked accommodation at the Chen Clan, but he parked his car in the parking lot and, in order to enter the dream, took a certain medicine.
This medicine did not harm the body but could make a person mentally tired for a night and prone to falling asleep and dreaming.
So that night he successfully dreamed and entered the Chen Clan’s dream.
His dream tonight was a good one: he dreamed his girlfriend was pregnant. It seemed that once you reached a certain age, you began to want children.
When he became lucid in the dream, he walked out the door and saw the dream of a tourist. That person was praising his son, who had taken first place in the grade.
In reality, that boy probably had never placed first in the grade, or there would be no need to dream about it.
Just like some people online: the less they have, the more they loudly refute others having it. Same logic.
In a short time, exclamations sounded one after another:
“It’s actually true. The Chen Clan really lets people dream together.”
“Online they say this is fake.”
“Haha, this is amazing. Considering how miraculous the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation’s Blessing is, this is not surprising, right?”
“…”
This was not the first time Wu Yan had heard such surprised remarks. Every time new tourists entered the dream, they reacted this way.
At this moment, a tourist looked up and exclaimed, “What is that? It looks like a light gate.”
The other tourists also looked up and were shocked by what they saw.
Wu Yan looked up and saw the same. This had definitely not appeared before. Then, as if drawn by something, he unexpectedly floated straight toward the Light Gate.
The other tourists, seeing this, stared wide-eyed and watched him float into the Light Gate.
Many people tried jumping under the Light Gate, but nothing happened. They could only look at the Light Gate with curiosity, not knowing what was going on.
After a brief bout of dizziness, Wu Yan was astonished to find himself in a valley.
The valley’s scenery was extremely beautiful. Clouds and mist swirled, hazy and ethereal, like a fairyland.
Especially that huge tree before him; he had never seen anything so tall and grand. And the stone table beneath the tree was clearly unusual.
Had the Chen Clan’s dream been upgraded?
Like in games where a new map is unlocked?
As he thought this, he was stunned to hear a voice: “Young friend, since fate has brought you here, have a cup of tea.”
Wu Yan stared in disbelief at the figure beneath the giant tree. Was that not the old Daoist Priest of the Chen Clan?
There were many legends about this Daoist Priest: said to be over 200 years old, with all sorts of mysterious abilities.
Thinking of this, Wu Yan looked around in shock, his heart surging.
Could this dream actually have been created by this old Daoist Priest?
Otherwise, how could he explain that upon entering here, he saw the Old Daoist Priest of the Chen Clan?
My god. Wu Yan’s heart raced. He felt he had discovered something incredible.
In the next moment, his face was full of shock as he watched the old Daoist Priest’s actions. The other lightly brushed his hand, and tea set and tea appeared on the table out of thin air.
Then the nearby river water seemed to hear a command and flew into the kettle.
The old Daoist Priest brewed and poured the tea with just a wave of his hand; a cup of tea flew into Wu Yan’s hand, and at no point did his hand touch the tea set.
If this was not an immortal, what was?
Wu Yan instinctively drank the tea. It tasted excellent, and with one cup down, his whole spirit felt extremely soothed, and his body felt a wonderful beneficial sensation.
Only when the teacup flew back from his hand did he come back to his senses. Then he heard the Old Daoist Priest of the Chen Clan say, “Young friend, you have had your tea. Since you were fated to enter, you may stroll around.”
After hearing this, Wu Yan found that the Old Daoist Priest had vanished again, as if he had never appeared.
But the surrounding scenery truly captivated him.
If he did not know this was a dream, he would have taken out his mobile phone to record it.
So now he could only walk around, seeing it with his own eyes, enjoying the valley’s beauty.
Unfortunately, everything beyond the valley was blocked by misty qi. He could not see through.
Wu Yan knew that this would definitely become his exclusive talking point, and he even felt he could create a dedicated guide about it.
But suddenly, when he reached a corner of the valley, he saw an extremely familiar logo in disbelief.
This logo confirmed for him that this dream was absolutely created by the Chen Clan’s old Daoist Priest.
That logo left his face full of embarrassment, strangeness, and amazement… all kinds of expressions flickering and shifting.
Damn, this works too?
